Hey, this is my first ever fanfic. I tried to make it fuuny like Rick Riordan writes and it didn't really work. Any help would be nice!

I sadly don't own Percy Jackson or any of the other characters in the PJ World, :-( Rick Riordan does!

My stories set on the Argo II while their sailing to Greece. I hope you like it:

Leo's POV

Leo pushed the mashed potato around his plate. For some reason it's hard to eat at the same table as three other snogging couples.

Okay, that was OTT, they weren't literally snogging, but they might as well be. Why did that stupid prophecy say SEVEN demigods? Why not eight? Would it really kill Rachel to add one more girl to the prophecy?

Leo pushed his plate away and slumped down onto the table. He shouldn't really be jealous. At least he'd got to come along, which had made the other campers jealous. That was kinda cool. And besides with this many couples, at least one of them should break up. And that would leave at least one disappointed girl who needed comforting. Enter Leo!

Leo began looking over the three groups of couples. Which one should break up? Annabeth was kinda cute, but she was far too interested in buildings and junk. He couldn't believe Percy could put up with her talk about Ancient Greek architecture. Leo couldn't suffer through that.

So what about Hazel? The weirdest thing was he was fairly sure Hazel had just been staring at him. Leo shivered. No, he kept catching Hazel looking at him, and that just creeped him out.

So that just left Piper. She was by far the prettiest of the three girls (daughter of Aphrodite, what do you expect Valdez?) but could he really deal with dating her? She was his friend. Going out with Piper would be like Artemis going out with Apollo, after going out with Ares. Okay, that's a little creepy.

Leo wacked his head on the table. The image going through his mind right now is NOT going to be narrated.

"Hey, ur, Leo? You okay?" Jason called over to him.

"Huh?" Leo was secretly kicking himself under the table. He looked completely crazy now.

Everybody was leaning on the table and looking at him.

"Um…" Well he had wanted a girl's attention, now he had it. Just he had their boyfriends' attention as well, and they were looking like he was about to jump off the ship. "I… was just… you know… trying to kill a fly?"

Apparently his crew mates didn't think this was a valid explanation for him to be attacking the table with his head. To be honest, Leo thought he was crazy. Fly? Really?

"You were trying to kill a fly?" Piper ventured.

"Um, yep."

"With your head?"

"Yes, I thought it would, you know… work."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Jason looked genuinely concerned.

"Yeah, why? Isn't it normal in America to swat flies?" Leo needed a joke, and fast.

"It is… just not with your head. Usually we use our, you know, hands?" Jason suggested.

"Oh, right, yeah, good idea bro. Guess I should have thought of that. I see why you're in charge now."

"Because he doesn't whack his head on the desk to swat flies?" Leo guessed they were slightly worried about the fact he was supposed to be sailing them across the Pacific Ocean to get to Greece.

"I'm just gonna check up on the driving shaft," Leo made to flee the table. He heard them calling "You sure," and "You're not working too hard are you?" after him.

Leo entered his room and kicked the wall. He felt like such an idiot. He kicked the wall again.

"Um… is this a bad time?"

Leo spun around in surprise. He was too busy thinking to notice that Nyssa had Iris messaged him.

"Yeah fine, just checking out this wall. You know, monster can hide anywhere. Just like to double check these kinda things."

"So, you haven't met any monsters yet?"

"Not yet, touch wood and all."

"So how's she sailing?"

"Well we're not dead yet, which is pretty good. And the boats still floating, which is great. And it's got okay steering and going along nicely with the current."

"Leo, I can see you're not dead, and the description you gave can be the description of a piece of drift wood. Hephaestus is our dad, Leo. Give me something technical."

"Um…" Leo began aimlessly playing with bits of wire. He knew he should know this kind of stuff, but he had been too distracted with his social status to remember. I mean, was he really THAT lame? "The clutch isn't working to great at the moment." Leo picked on the first thing that came to mind.

"Oh, I'm sure I got it double fitted. Maybe I left the axel bolt in the cog? That could be what's wrong," Nyssa replied.

Maybe it was something about his looks. Had he inherited his dad's looks? Was something up with his curly hair? "Yeah, I agree that could do with some work."

Leo was pretty sure Hazel was a little bit interested in him. She looked at him a few times.

"She looked great when she set sail."

"Yeah, she looked all right then. Mind she wasn't exactly the prettiest." That would have to have been Piper. She looked gorgeous when she stepped onto that boat.

"Well, I guess the Romans had some okay ships. But she was a real gem." That was true; Hazel did always look like a sparkly gem to him.

"Yeah, almost like she was straight from the earth itself."

"Maybe, but if the clutch isn't working then that's a real shame."

"Yeah the clutch is a shame. Wait what clutch!"

"The clutch, on the ship?"

"Oh yeah, that clutch." Leo had to stop zoning out. Precise Hazel was with Frank. That ship had sailed (pun intended).

"Leo, you seem a bit out of it mate, you sure you're cool?" Jake Mason asked.

"Yeah, bro everything's fine. Just sailing thousands of miles to my doom with a bunch of madly in love demigods and serious fire issues. What could go wrong?" Leo meant it as a joke, but his siblings seemed to be dissecting the phrase.

"So, has something gone wrong with your fire power? Or are the others annoying you?"

"No, nothing like that." Wow, his siblings had gone from asking about the ship to his personal therapists in one sentence.

"Nah, the only thing annoying me at the moment is that clutch. But thanks for the advice; I'll go fix it now."

"Okay, see ya."

"Yeah, cheers, bye, say hi to the others for me. Okay cool bye." The Iris message disappeared. Leo felt a bit annoyed. Not only did his siblings now think he was crazy, (on top of his already freaked out crew mates) but he had forgotten Nyssa's suggestion of how to fix that clutch. Something about Hazel, axels and therapy. Or at least that's all he had gotten out of that conversation.

Leo shrugged and sat down at his workbench. He would fix the problem later anyway. The ship could restrain from blowing up for five more minutes while he got to grips with this dating thing. He had to prioritise: social life, then work. Any teenager in their right mind knows that.


Leo rubbed his eyes. He'd been working on blueprints for so long the world had started going blue. He needed a break.

A dull thud came from the bowls of the ship. Checking that noise out sounded good.

He walked slowly to the door, and walked down the iron steps that led to the bottom of the ship. The banging noise came again. This time louder.

The bottom of the ship looked it usual mess- the metal hull was covered in pipes, boxes, tools ect. Anything that the Hephaestus cabin had left behind after the ship was built. To avoid cleaning up, Jake said they should dump it all down here. Except Annabeth (a total clean freak) had insisted they all put it neatly at the side. This was too hard for the demigods so they ended up compromising with it being shoved to the side, with a couple things in boxes.

Leo looked around the room. A couple of boxes shifted and something's head looked down at him.

It froze.

He froze.

Leo didn't have time to draw a weapon. The lights went out and the thing slammed its tail into his chest. He fell backwards and was hit metallic floor with a bang. He could hear the monster sliding away.

Leo stumbled to his feet, feeling dizzy, and tried to locate the monster. The room was pitch black with the lights off and he couldn't make out anything. He needed light.

The minute he summoned fire he felt a scaly tail whack into him again. This time it flung him to the side where he was pressed against a box at the side of the room. There was a dim night light coming from a porthole just above him. It wasn't enough light for him to see the monster in, though.

He manoeuvred himself around the box and leaned against it. He could hear the monster creeping towards him. He didn't know what to do- if he raised fire it would be able to see him, if he didn't then he was defenceless.

The distance sliding noise was getting louder telling Leo that the creature was closing in. He ducked away from the light of the porthole but he knew it wouldn't do much good. The monster knew where he'd landed. It would be on him in moments.

Leo pulled out a hammer from his tool belt and summoned fire to his fingers. He was going to fight.

At first Leo wondered where the monster had gone. There appeared to be some random women standing in front of him.

"Umm, have you seen a monster, with ur like a massive scaly tail?"

The women hisses in frustration and swipes at him with her scaly tail.

"Whoa!" Diving out the way Leo avoids the strike. "I guess I found you… Now get of my ship!"

The monster aims another strike at Leo. Raising the hammer, Leo meets the blow dead on pushing the tail away. It comes back around for strike three which Leo jumps over in true demigod style.

"Huh? Yeah! I'm doing well at thi.." The monster catches Leo in the gut, slamming him into the boxes. Then sends its tail straight for him. Rolling over to avoid being flattened, Leo makes for another pile of boxes.

With his hammer lost and the fire extinguished, Leo couldn't fight back while the monster is still advancing towards him. Grabbing the first thing he finds- a piece of metal- he chucks it at the monster.

The monster hisses angrily as Leo grabs another scrap and throws it. This one lands somewhere of in the distance. He runs his hands across the floor again, searching for something to throw when a smooth, metallic shape meets Leo's hand. It was cool and sharp and cuts across his skin.

Rubbing the blood on his shirt, he reaches for it again. It must've been a sword. Grabbing the hilt, Leo raises the weapon. The creature's tail barrels into Leo's stomach and shoves him against the floor. Stumbling to his feet Leo raises the sword again.

This time he thrusts the sword into the darkness and feels it skim against the monster's tail. The scales act like armour and deflect the swords blow. The only way to kill it is to attack the exposed skin of the woman.

Pushing another blow away from him, Leo drags himself onto the top of the box. Igniting fire onto his hand he prepares to attack. That's when he notices the water.

The piece of metal he had chucked earlier had hit a loose revert at the bottom of the ship, causing water to bubble up into the ship. The hole was only small, but the pressure of the sea had caused about five litre of water to enter. Nothing dangerous and he could easily fix it.

The monster losses interest in the water surrounding it and turned back to the demigod it was going to eat. It raised its tail to attack.

Leos caught off guard and flung straight at a porthole. The sword hilt meets the glass first and shatters it on impact.

The next thing Leo knew he was surrounded by icy water. A wave swept over him plunging him into its icy depths.

Pushing hard on the water, he surfaces again in time to see his beautiful ship sailing into the distance.

So that's the best I could do for adventure/humor. Some help would be really useful! It's meant to sound like the original but I think somethings missing.

Thanks for reading!
