A/N: i do not own Percy Jackson. i do own Kimiko and Bella.

Leo and, the others were flying on the Argo II on the way the way to Rome to beat Gaia. But he felt alone well because he was alone. Annabeth and Percy were in the mess hall talking about plans for when they get back. Why make plans? Why couldn't they just relax when they get back? Leo wanted nothing more but to relax when he gets back and maybe build things. Though he can understand why they would make plans or Annabeth making them, a demigods life was never relaxing, being the daughter of wisdom and strategies guess it was in her nature to make plans. Leo had thought Percy had a look that almost said. "I don't want to make plans, I want to hang out" but he agreed with her. That Leo didn't understand, Jason was with Piper in her cabin having 'quality time' together which didn't include him. Frank was somewhere on the ship probably sleeping poor guy was so tired from the quest. Nico was on the mast thinking like he usually did. Hazel was in her room also sleeping trying to recover from her sea sickness that happened while they were sailing on water during the quest. Hedge was in his room watching some sort of movie on his TiVo. The only friend Leo had at the moment was Festus who used to be a metal bronze dragon he loved but now his head is used for the masthead of the Argo II. Leo had always been the odd man out but sometimes he wanted a friend to hang out with or talk to. Suddenly Festus made a clink clang creak sound that snapped leo out of his thoughts which he was glad for.

"what was that buddy? You scanned something near by?" Leo asked, Festus made another creek clang noise again. "huh? A bronze metal in the sky? That doesn't sound right. You sure buddy?" Festus blew out fire as if he was sighing and saying "of course I'm right" then made a creak noise. "its in viewing distance?" Festus made a clang nose as if to say yes. "alright let's get a closer look at it"

Leo pulls the nintdo Wii remote up a little to make the ship go faster and toward the metal bronze in the sky. Annabeth and Percy come out.

"hey why was there a sudden change in speed?" she asked

"Festus said he scanned something in the sky that's in viewing distance" Leo replied.

"probably a monster" Percy sighed

"no, he said it was metal bronze. Unless you know of a monster that is partly metal and bronze then I don't think its a monster" he says

"what? Leo do you have binoculars?" Annabeth asked, Leo pulls one out of his tool belt and hands it to Annabeth. She looks through the lens. "that's a metal bronze dragon" Leo's mouth drops in shock.

"r-really?" he asked trying to control his excitement, she nods.

"yeah, there's a girl riding on it too" she says

"okay we're getting closer now" leo says excited, makes the Argo II go even faster making it tilt a little.

"hey! Whats going on?" Jason asked confused

"Leo's going to get a closer look at a girl" Percy says.

"really?" Piper sighs

"on a metal bronze dragon"annabeth added.

"like Festus?" Jason asked

Leo nods excitedly and they get close enough to talk to the girl.

"hello!" Leo says cheerfully.

The dragon opens it mouth about to attack them but the girl stops it.

"easy Bella. I don't think they're going to hurt us" she says sounding like an angel making leo blush, speechless until piper elbows him in the side gently.

"I...I'm Leo, captain of the Argo II. Where you heading to?" Leo asked shyly which was unusual for him.

"Kimiko, nice to meet you. This is Bella" the girl said petting the bronze dragon, then everyone starts asking questions at the same time.

"are you a demigod like us?" Percy and Annabeth asked together

"did you make Bella by yourself? Whats her control disk like? Does she like to eat metal with hot sauce on it?" Leo asked, he had so many questions to ask but he forced himself to calm down.

Piper looked at her if she knew Kimiko or that she was really pretty.. or was that Leo thinking that. Nico had the same look as Piper, Frank and Hazel just looked shocked, speechless and surprised.

"Rome. i had a feeling i need to go there, yes and no. yes I did make Bella myself took a month to build her probably would have taken a few weeks at most if I was better at making things like this. Bella's control disk is excellent! There's never any problems or malfunctions. Though I think it's time for an upgrade so she can talk. I just got to find the right material to make a voice box. And no she just likes to eat silver" Kimiko answers

"wow cool!" Leo grins

"what do you mean yes and no?" Annabeth asked

"the fates had chosen me to be created by all gods even the minor ones. For what purpose I do not know myself they never sent me a message or a reason why" she replied

they all looked shocked, surprised, confused and speechless at the news of their new camper.

I hope you liked this so far.
