THIS is my 100th fanfiction! ^_^ With a special thank you to Winekita firstly for pointing that out to me and secondly- but mostly :P - for helping me get this started! THANK YOU WINEKITA!

The usual disclaimer HERE, excluding OCs, etc. etc. Ya'll get the gist :D


Calypso frowned up at the sky, a mysterious dark blob edging closer. It couldn't be a god of any kind, far too slow and, even though it was shiny, it wasn't shiny enough to be an immortal. It was another minute or so before she could discern any particular features, marvelling at this automaton dragon flapping closer and closer. Her annoyance and worry ebbed, a huge grin spreading across her face despite herself. It was Leo! He had come back! But... how? No man had ever come back- why did this imp? Ooh, he had better not break another one of her tables!

Festus landed, smoking slighty at the joints, almost sighing with relief. Leo beamed at her.

"Did you miss me?"

"No."

"Liar. You all set?"

"Well, no. I didn't-"

"Ah, you thought I wasn't coming back, didn't you?" Leo grinned, looking more like an elf than ever before. "That just proves you wrong now, doesn't it? Get your gear, we're leaving." Calypso didn't move. "As amazing as I am, Festus and I would rather not wait around. We should really be heading back sooner rather than later."

"What did you do?"

"Died. I'll explain on the way." He added at her preplexed look. "Go-get-your-stuff. What is it with women? You tell them to hustle and they just stand there. Five minutes." He mocked. Calypso glowered and set off up the beach at a leisurely stroll. Leo sighed. "Well, seeing as we have the time, let's see if I can find you some oil." Festus whirred and clicked. "Yes, yes, Tabasco sauce too, but I doubt you'll get much on Oogyia. Onwards!" He ordered cheekily. Festus marched off.

Half an hour later, Festus was oiled and happy and Calypso was finally ready. She had packed some extra clothes, material supplies and samples of every plant she had. "The Demeter cabin is going to love you." Leo grinned.

"What did you do to Festus?"

"I gave him a flower crown. Everybody digs dragons with flower crowns, have you seen Tumblr?"

"What?"

"Oh, that's right. No wifi." Leo leant down and helped her up. "Definitely ready?"

"Yes. No. I think so?"

"You're a woman out of time. Just stick with Hazel, you two can learn together. Festus! Home time! Yes, you can keep the crown. See, what did I tell you? Dragons and flower crowns." Festus spread his mighty wings and took to the air. Calypso looked down as her island, home, prison, gradually shrunk until it was nothing more than a blip. Then it was gone.

"You died?" She prompted.

"Yeah, but Gaea did too." Leo explained the fiasco leading to his dramatic, heroic 'death'. "Although... I probably won't last long when I get back. I know of at least seven people who will want to kill me for being alive." Calypso's brow furrowed. "They love me, but I'm very annoying."

"I've noticed." Calypso grumbled. "Is Percy one of those seven?"

"Uh... yeah. I'm sure you two can sort it out though." Leo smiled over his shoulder. "Hey, you know you're off your island now?" She nodded slowly. "Are you still immortal?" A shrug. "If you age a thousand years in a day, then we'll know." His smile returned. Festus clicked and shook his head. Sneezed. His flower crown slipped and he whined. Leo sighed. This was going to be a long flight home.


OK, this is NOT Caleo, no no no. Bad *sprays with water* It'll get better, I've got the majority of the chapters already written! YAY! :D
