HI! still no reviews. please say something!

so this is again a fun chapter. I hope you like it!

Leo's POV

Once I got out of the plaza, I changed my pace to a walk. My familiar was running behind me. Soon, we came in front of a huge store. It was again bird-themed, but this time I think it was an owl with large eyes. Annabeth would have loved this store.

For the first time since I have arrived here, I felt homesick. I missed my siblings, hammering away with me in the forge. I miss Jason and Piper, my closest friends. I miss the Stolls, my closest pranking partners. I miss Percy and Annabeth. I miss Hazel and Frank (he owed me ten bucks!). But I seriously still missed them.

I looked at my familiar.

"You need a name," I decided, "I am tempted to name you Purrcy."

The Purrloiner looked annoyed.

"What? It's not that bad!"

It looked annoyed again.

"Wait, are you a she?"

My familiar nodded.

"Oh! That makes things much easier. Hmmm, let me see..."

We played around with a few names, but none of them really seemed fitting. The Purrloiner didn't really like any of them either.

"How about Margaret?"

It shook her head.

"Emily?"

It shook her head again.

"What about Simona?"

She thought about it, and then shook her head.

"Then how about Washington?" I snapped at it, annoyed.

The cat smacked my in the head with the dull side of her sword.

"OW! What was that for?"

The cat looked annoyed.

"I guess you aren't really just cute and fluffy. There are definitely some thorns on you."

Then it hits me. Thorns.

"How about 'Rose'? It fits you. Roses are beautiful, but also full of thorns that when you touch the rose in the wrong place, you can get pretty hurt. What do you think?"

The familiar thought about it, and then nodded. I smiled. Then, all the sudden, it jumped into my chest. I literally mean into my chest. I didn't feel any different, but I still knew that my familiar was there.

"Hoo! What are you doing sitting on the steps of my shop?"

I twisted around. Standing there was a small old woman. She had long, white hair in two ponytails. She was wearing green glasses that made her eyes look ten times their regular size. She was also wearing a brown shawl.

"Hoo are you?"

I again had to keep in a snicker. Is this the world of bad puns?

"Um, I am Leo."

"Leo. Anyway, what are you doing here? Hoo! A wand! Are you a wizard?"

I looked at the wand in my hand.

"Well, yes. I guess."

"Hoo! I haven't seen clothes like these in a long time. Are you from another world?"

I looked at her in shock.

"Is it really that obvious?"

"No, but with the right knowledge, you could easily spot people hoo aren't from these parts."

"Do you know where I could get new clothes?"

"Hoo! I have lots of clothes in the shop! Come with me."

She walked back into her shop, me following her. When I got into the shop, I was surprised with all the things in this shop. I saw more white bread and… was that coffee? I also saw a bunch of chocolates and pastries. The old woman was sitting behind her desk.

"So you need clothes? I have just got a new shipment of traveling clothes that I think might interest you."

She pulled out black pants, a red shirt, and a black cloak with a hood. This was perfect clothing if I wanted to be unnoticed.

"They are perfect! How much for them?"

"Only a hundred guilders!"

I pulled out the money and took the clothes.

"Hoo! You can change in the back!"

"Really? Thanks!"

I ran to the changing room and put on the clothes. The pants and shirt were comfortable. The cloak was warm when fastened together, but since it was already warm outside I just wore it unfastened. I still wore my tool belt. When I come out, the woman looks pleased.

"Hoo! They are perfect. Do they feel comfortable?"

"Yes. Very. Thank you."

"Can I get you something else, dear? How about a Bottomless Bag?"

"Bottomless Bag? What is that?"

"It is a bag that has infinite space in it. You can store as much as you want in it, no matter the size!"

"Sure! How much?"

"Only fifty. They are really popular these days, so I can manage to make them cheap."

I gave her the cash and took the bag. It resembled a regular satchel. I put my regular clothes in it.

"Is there anything else I could get you, dearie?"

I looked eagerly at the stocks.

"Can I have three more loaves of white bread and a coffee?"

"Hoo! Here you go. That will be two hundred and sixty guilders."

I gave her the money and put the provisions in my bag.

"How much for the sweets?"

"So you have a familiar?"

I again stared at her.

"How did you know?"

"Well, if you are buying sweets, it must be for a familiar."

"Oh, so that is what they are for?"

"Hoo! It is. Would you like some?"

"Yes please. One of each."

She handed me the candy and I gave her the right amount of money."

"Will that be all?"

"Yes, thank you."

"Please pay this old Hootenanny a visit! Owl be seeing you soon!"

I laughed at the pun. I can't wait to use those on Annabeth.

As I walked out of the shop that I now realized was the Hootique, I saw something that made my eyes go wide. There was a cat walking around on its hind legs and wearing clothes. And they could talk. I guess I shouldn't bother them.

Before I left, I visited the Cawtermaster's store one last time to get my familiar a weapon. I bought the best one. Then, I started going towards the exit. Right when I was about to leave, I hear some shouts. I turned around. People were running all over the place, looking like they lost something.

"What is going on?" I asked a guard.

"The king lost his crown!" he replied, "He had just bought a new wand, and was testing it out. His crown disappeared. Everyone in the whole kingdom is looking for it!"

I myself started looking frantically around. Then I saw it. It was on the roof of a house. I didn't know how it had gotten there, but I was more concerned about the crown. I backed up, and then started running towards the building. I jumped when I was a few feet away from it, and managed to get a handhold. I pulled myself onto the roof. It was steep, but I had been trained at Camp Half Blood, and they take their training seriously. When I got to the top, I managed to grab the crown. I jumped down, taking care not to drop the crown. Of course, when I got to the bottom, everyone was staring at me with their jaws open. I just smiled in a Leo sort of way and handed the crown to one of the guards.

"Here you go," I said simply.

He looked at the crown in amazement, and then said, "Come with me."
