|New Year's with the Demigods|
//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\//\\
“One minute, guys! Sixty seconds to midnight! Where is my tool belt?”
It was New Year’s Eve at Camp Half-Blood, and all of the campers were relaxing on the beach, waiting for the celebratory fireworks like it was the Fourth of July.
“Nyssa! Tell Harley to get away from those things! He might set them off too early!”
The Hephaestus cabin, as usual, was put in charge of the fireworks display, and with Leo Valdez being the head counselor, the campers were positive this fireworks show would be one to remember.
“Oh, gods, thirty seconds, guys! Is everything ready?”
“Leo, you need to calm down. Your hair’s on fire.”
“Calm down… Right. How do I do that again?”
Leo knew it wasn’t that big of a deal- at least not to the other campers. But Leo wanted this New Year’s to be special; it was marking another year the demigods survived- even after fighting, and winning, a war.
What better way to celebrate than an extra-special, Leo-styled, fireworks show?
The clock on Leo’s wrist slowly ticked, counting down the final seconds of that year.
“Twenty seconds! I swear, I’m forgetting something…”
“Leo!” Leo’s half-brother, Jake, grabbed his sibling’s shoulders, stopping him in place. “Calm down. It’ll be fine. Now, you go find Calypso. Cabin Nine’s got this.”
Leo managed a weary grin. “You’re right. Thanks, man.” He clapped his brother on the shoulder before sprinting off to find his girlfriend.
Similar to the Fourth, the couples all found themselves on the beach, relaxing on blankets they’d pulled from the cabins. As Leo ran, he spotted Jason and Piper on one blanket; Percy and Annabeth were a few feet away, leaning against each other. Leo scanned the beach, searching for Calypso.
There.
Leaning on her elbows, light brown hair tumbling down her back, was Calypso. There was an empty spot beside her.
“Hey, Sunshine,” Leo greeted, sitting beside her.
Calypso turned to smile at him, “Hey, Leo. Fireworks ready?”
Leo grinned, turning his gaze to his watch. 12 seconds. “Let’s hope so.”
“10 seconds to midnight!” A camper shouted.
As one, the demigods counted down the seconds to the new year, keeping their eyes on the sky for the long-awaited show.
“Ten… nine… eight… seven… six… five… four… three… two… one!”
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
Calypso turned to grin at Leo, and their lips met for a quick kiss.
“Happy New Year, Leo,” Calypso murmured as she pulled away.
“Happy New Year, Calypso.”

[A/N] Happy New Year! (If it's New Year's Eve where you live...)
I think we needed a little Caleo; plus, I wanted to update one more time before 2014 ends.
See you in 2015!
