Leo Valdez looked at the metal wrench in his hands and felt happy.

He walked over to the window and reflected on his small surroundings. He had always loved Bunker Nine with its many tools. It was a place that encouraged his tendency to build things.

Then he saw something in the distance, or rather someone. It was the figure of Calypso . Calypso was a brave woman with long hair and almond shaped eyes.

Leo gulped. He glanced at his own reflection. He was a scrawny sarcastic mechanic with curly hair and brown eyes. His friends saw him as a funny person. Once, he had even died to save the world.

But not even a scrawny person who had died to save the world, was prepared for what Calypso had in store today.

The snow falling outside teased the hearth like a cat playing with string.

As Leo stepped outside and Calypso came closer, he could see the mischievous glint in her eye.

Calypso gazed with affection at him. She said, "Why the heck do you spend so much time in here?"

Leo looked back, still fingering the metal wrench. "Calypso, I love you," he replied.

They looked at each other with confused feelings like they did many days when Leo's sentences made absolutely no sense.

Leo regarded Calypso's long hair and almond eyes, "You are very beautiful today."

Calypso looked grumpy, her emotions blushing like a tomato.

Then Calypso came inside for a nice drink of soda.

I'll leave this here for you guys to have....
