A/N: Merry Christmas (late greeting, I know, but it's the thought that counts, right?) Anyway, thank you to everyone who followed, favorited my story or me! (No, I am never going to stop saying that :D) And guess what! I didn't miss the day to post this chapter! Yay! And going back and reading through the past updates, I have noticed a couple typos, and I'm sorry for that. I know I hate those, so some of you probably do too. Oh, and this chapter has some stuff from Blood of Olympus, so spoilers. Okay, enough ranting for now, chapter seven is here!

Disclaimer: Look back at chapter 3

Chapter 7: Reunion

(POV: Annabeth)

I looked from Percy's grinning face, to the dog pile on the ground, slowly let go of Percy's hand, and stepped forward.

"Leo?" I asked.

"The one and only." He said, Jason and Piper letting him stand.

"But- but how? The explosion-"

"Was outmaneuvered by the awesomest dragon in the world." Festus's teeth whirred. And Leo smiled at him. "I connected the Physicians Cure to his system in a syringe, and viola! I'm back!"

I looked at the girl still on Festus's back. She had almond shaped brown eyes and caramel colored hair that cascaded past her shoulders.

Percy gaped at her. "Leo? You didn't tell me she was with you!"

The girl looked at the ground uncertainly and slid off of Festus, patting him on the nose as she passed his head. Then she walked up to Percy.

"Percy Jackson... I didn't think I would ever see your face again." She mused. Percy winced.

"Yeah, um, about that..." He started, but was cut off by the girl slapping him across the face.

"Hey!" I shouted, starting to run towards Percy and his assailant but Leo grabbed my arms.

"Wait, he deserved that." He said.

"Calm down Annabeth, Leo's right." Percy said. Holding his hands up in surrender to the girl.

"Yes, Leo's right!" She shouted at him, "You promised, you promised you would get me off Ogygia! But did you? No!"

"Hey, Sunshine?" Leo said to the enraged girl. "This is kinda supposed to be a stealth mission, so, it would kinda help if you didn't wake the entire camp."

She looked at him, sighed, then turned back to Percy. "I'm sorry, Percy. I promised myself I wouldn't get angry."

"Hey, it's cool. You have every right to be angry with me." He said.

"Percy! Why does she have a right? I've never seen this girl before in my life!" I said, exasperated. "Will somebody please tell me what's going on here?"

Jason and Piper nodded in agreement, and Percy started to say "Annabeth, this is-" but the girl held up her hand and cut him off.

"So this is your Annabeth." She said, walking towards me. She then stopped and extended her hand. "My name is Calypso"

I stood next to Leo, watching him crouch in front of his tribute marker.

"It's weird," he said. "Looking at basically my grave and everyone thinking I'm dead."

"We didn't have to have thought you were dead." I told him. "Why didn't you tell us?"

He sighed. "I had stuff that I had to do first."

"I can see that." I said, glancing towards his date. "Is that why you kept muttering something about an astrolabe?"

Leo nodded. "It was invented by Odysseus, with her in mind. It's the only way to navigate to her home and back."

"Wow." I said, "I guess it worked.

He snorted. "Yeah, just a little." As we were talking, I noticed a change in Leo. He seemed happy, but not his usual perky self. I wondered about this as Calypso jogged over to us. She smiled, and I did so as well, but a little sheepishly. I was still embarrassed about the whole ordeal that had happened a few minutes earlier.

Calypso stepped toward Leo and pecked him on the cheek, making him smile. "Hey, Sunshine, what's up?"

"It's almost dawn, Percy and the others are getting ready to leave soon."

He looked at her with concern. "Are you sure you'll be okay? Staying here I mean?"

She shrugged. "As long as I don't get thrown out for being related to a Titan, I should be okay."

"Don't worry," I told her. " we've had a lot if Titan relatives around here lately."

"Leo told me." She said.

"Do you know anything else about her? Penelope, I mean." I asked.

Calypso shook her head. "I've never heard of a daughter of Oceanus before."

She looked to Percy, who was walking over with the rest if our party. "I'm sorry," she said "I won't ever have a brother or sister either." His eyes were hard, and when he replied, it was as if she hadn't said anything at all.

"I hate to cut our cozy gathering short, but dawn's coming, and we need to be gone by the time the sun rises." He looked to Leo. "Are you sure that Festus can carry all of us at one time?" He asked.

Leo nodded. "Definitely. I improved when I rebuilt him. He can carry up to seven, and even has new extendable seats!" He said, excitement creeping into his voice. His hands twitched, anxious to show us Festus's features.

"We'll get him set up in a second, but Calypso, are you sure you don't know anything?"

"I've heard that Oceanus has a palace in the Atlantic, but otherwise no." She said, looking slightly like she was feeling helpless.

"Well, that narrows it down a lot," Leo sniggered. "It's only in the middle of a huge ocean, how hard could it be?"

"We've done harder." Piper reminded him. We all murmured our agreement.

"Well!" Leo said, rubbing his hands together, "if there aren't anymore objections, then let's get this show on the road!"

He then ran over to Festus, and pushed a button on his neck. Immediately, his torso stretched to reveal a passenger area with four seats, and a railing around the edges.

I gave him a surprised look, and he shrugged. "All aboard the Festus mobile!"

We walked over, with Calypso following behind. "You're not coming with us?" Percy asked her.

She shook her head."No Percy. I've had enough with gods and monsters and Titans. My job is to stay here and inform Chiron where you have gone."

She escorted us the rest of the way to the bronze dragon, and then hugged Percy as he was about to get on. "I'm proud of you Perseus. You really are a true hero."

Percy blushed and murmured something like "uh, thanks" and climbed on with a nervous glance my way. I felt a pang of jealousy. I then clambered onto Festus and sat next to Percy, resting my head on his shoulder.

He smiled down at me. "Tired?" He asked. I nodded and he kissed me on top of the head. "Sweet dreams, Wisegirl." Then he leaned ack in his seat.

My last memory before I drifted away was Festus's wings spreading and us lifting off into the night.

A/N: A little short, and mostly filler, but oh well. IMPORTANT: My next update may be later than usual, because I had the next couple chapters written, but I realized that where I had them was completely un-realistic, so I'm going to have to re-write some *sigh*. That being said, I have a question for you guys. If you're a Greek Mythology nut like me, was there any myth or monster or whatever that you wished Percy and co. had encountered? I would love to hear any of your ideas! You could PM me or just review! And I have one more thing to ask you, would you guys be interested in me putting a chapter preview (title and maybe a short little description) in the A/N at the end of the previous chapter? Let me know. Happy New Years everyone! See ya later!
