Me: I deserved it... :(

Sup people and randoms from the internet! Welcome to the second chapter of STITCHES AND SNITCHES, hope you enjoy. The next chapter will be a backstory on Jordan Forge, and the person who requested that will be given a shoutout on that chapter.

I will try to post regularly, note I say regularly. I have slept over at PROCRASTINATION's house for about a month, and exams are really getting to me. I have an oral on Wednesday, Assignment due on Friday, and a Landscape acrylic due tomorrow.

Also, just a disclaimer that I DO NOT own PJO, HOO or any other titles by Rick Riordan, just the made-up characters of my stories, such as 'Jordan Forge", who you guys met in the last chapter.

Annabeth's POV

Leo was standing behind Annabeth, holding hands with a breathtaking young woman, draped in a white shawl, feet covered in gladiator-style sandals, flawless face framed by honey-coloured locks. Whatever Leo did to win her over, it was effective.

"Ah.. wha...huh!?" Annabeth stuttered in shock.

Piper was not in shock. "Oh my Gods, I missed you so much, Leo!" She screamed in excitement.

Then the realisation dawned on her. "Everyone thought you were dead! Including me and Jason!"

And with that, Piper slapped Leo's face.

"Aye chica! That hurt!"

"Umm... what's happening?" Rachel asked, uncomfortable with the surprise reunion.

"Well, Leo over here hasn't bothered to tell us that he was alive this whole time. After he was blasted into oblivion during the war against Gaia!" Piper fumed, so enraged and shocked at the same time that there could have been smoke coming out of her ears.

"It's okay, he's like that a lot. Very ignorant but he means good..." the honey-haired girl murmured, unsure of what to say in this awkward conversation.

"And you are...?" Piper exclaimed.

"Calypso, daughter of Atlas, formerly the prisoner of Ogygia."

Annabeth stood stunned. Percy had ended up on Ogygia before, and Calypso had fallen head over heels in love with him. Annabeth couldn't blame her, Percy was almost intoxicating to look at, from his sea foam green eyes to his sun-kissed face, to his raven-black hair. But, Annabeth had been the lucky one and hadn't left her Seaweed Brain since Tartarus.

"Percy was there..." Annabeth started, trying to jog Calypso's memory.

"Oh yes, Percy Jackson, he was one of my favourites, besides Odysseus..." Calypso trailed off as she was met by a death stare from both Annabeth and Leo.

"Eh, whatever now let's get on with this plan to help Rachel and Jordan." Annabeth shook her head and shrugged slightly.

Annabeth took time to calculate the possible options in he head. Any god could be misunderstanding and based on previous experience, she did not want to become a guinea pig. If only the Styx could come into it, they could maybe have just enough wit to outsmart Apollo.

"Okay, so we all know that Apollo somehow fancies Rachel, so if she can seem like she's interested...-" Annabeth was cut off by a deep glare from Jordan. After all, it did not sound appealing for your 'girlfriend' to pretend to flirt with a god. Everyone knows where that leads to... *nudge* *nudge*

"All I'm saying is, Rachel just needs to manipulate Apollo into changing the rules of the Oracle dating system, and once he has sworn on the River Styx, tell him about Jordan. He won't be able to break his promise."

Calypso, Leo, Piper, Jordan and Rachel all nodded approvingly, ready to jump into action.

"Calypso and Piper, you set up a candlelight dinner tomorrow at 7 pm, I'll help Rachel in what to say to Apollo, Jordan will go about his business, and Leo, you will make tacos," Annabeth explained.

"On it, chica!" Leo piped up.

And so the six of them set to work.

So that is all I have for today! I hope you liked the second chapter of STITCHES AND SNITCHES, and please comment your ideas and any possible plot twists. Leave a -positive- review or a constructive one. I APOLLOgise if my puns are cringe, haha!

Shoutout for today is Queen of Poptarts, for posting such a lovely comment and providing a very good guess at who the person behind Annabeth was... however as you can tell, it was Leo all along! I know, I'm shaking my head at how long he disappeared for too...

Please do not spoil TOA; The Burning Maze, I only got it in the mail!

I'm going to try and post Jordan's backstory as quick as possible, to make up for this one.

See you guys next time and don't forget to post reviews, TOODALOO! - Opposite-of-Khione
