~ Leo ~
For the record, I did NOT mean to blow up the "Destiny's Bounty"
It was an accident.
Seriously.
I'm not joking.
Of course, since ships (usually) don't spontaneously explode, I should probably explain what happened.
~ About thirty minutes ago ~
Percy landed the mini-hurricane on the deck of the ship. The three of us- Percy, Annabeth, and me, Leo- started walking around, exploring the ship. There were racks of Japanese weapons everywhere. They were snacking on food from the kitchen. Percy was wolfing down pizza, Annabeth was snacking on ice cream, and Leo was eating tacos. And they were DE-LIC-IOUS.
"I can't eat another slice," Percy said- after eating an entire box.
"How do you eat that much and stay so thin?" Annabeth asked.
"I fight monsters, like, every other day. That's an extreme workout," Percy responded.
"Oh."
"Dese tawcos awe dewicious!" Leo said. It's true. They were, absolutely delicious.
"Leo, don't talk with your mouth full," Annabeth scolded.
"Ok mom, and afterwards I'll clean my room and wash the dishes!" I said sarcastically. Annabeth gave me a death stare. She can be super-duper annoying sometimes. And also super scary.
"Just saying, it would be nice if we didn't have to see ground-up taco every time you say something," Annabeth said calmly.
"And YOU don't need to treat me like your child!" Leo said. Point One for Team Leo!
"Leo…" Percy said warningly
"I will NOT treat my children like that!" Annabeth yelled.
"Yeah, because who would want to marry you!?" Leo yelled back. Point Two for Team Leo!
"Uh, actually I would…" Percy interjected. Leo facepalmed; of course Percy was siding with her.
Annabeth smiled and said, "Thanks, Percy." She turned back to Leo and her face melted back into a scowl.
"See? Not everybody hates me," Annabeth said.
"PUH-lease. You guys fight all the time." Leo said.
"And we make up afterwards. What's your point?" Annabeth asked.
"I-I don't know. I guess I'm just tired. And cranky." Leo said.
"Can this fight be over now?" Percy asked.
"Yes" Leo and Annabeth said together.
Annabeth turned to Percy. "Did you mean that?" she asked, "what you said? About…"
"Absolutely," Percy said. Oh no. Since he was single, Leo always felt awkward around couples. The closest thing to a girlfriend he had was an immortal girl on a magical island that you can't find twice. Yeah, we're real close.
Just then the lights went out.
