Hey. I'm kind of upset. Unless I update twice tomorrow (and I'll be busy, so I won't be able to), I won't finish this before school starts back up. Bu whatever. No snese in moping. Here is chapter 10 (double digits, woohoo!).

Also, I should probably go ahead and warn people that I can't update as frequently when school starts (on any of my stories).

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson and the Olympians or Heroes of Olympus.

Leo woke up feeling like someone had smacked him on the head. He opened his eyes to see that someone actually had. Nyssa was standing over him with a frown etched into her face.

"Uh, what's up Nyssa?" asked Leo, still not fully awake.

"You overslept." replied Nyssa, not looking the least bit guilty for the red mark that was most likely not evident on Leo's forehead.

"What else is new?" Leo mumbled to himself as he got dressed for the day.

First breakfast, then morning activities, finally Argo II. Woohoo, sounds like fun.

Not.

Leo pretty much sulked all throughout breakfast. Today was just a boring day, and Leo didn't really feel like facing it. He'd rather just crawl back and bed. Maybe he could build an automaton to replace him on days like this. It certainly would save Leo a lot of trouble.

On his way to morning activities, Leo spotted a girl who looked extremely worried. Of course she was pretty, but not really Leo's type. However, being the procrastinator he was; he decided to go talk to her before heading towards the arena.

When he got closer, the first thing he noticed were her pointed ears. Leo smiled. Maybe they could be Santa's elves together.

"Hey. Er, are you okay?" Leo asked the girl.

"I'm fine, just worried about my boyfriend." The girl replied. Boyfriend, eh? Well, it was a good thing Leo wasn't into her.

"Oh, sorry. Is he in trouble? I'm Leo by the way." said Leo, trying to sound more concerned about the girl's missing boyfriend than he really was. He'd done enough trying to figure out about missing campers.

"Juniper. Juniper the dryad. I hope he isn't in any trouble. He should've been back a few days ago; I just don't know what's holding him up." Juniper explained looking like she was about to burst into tears.

"Why was he gone?" asked Leo genuinely curious now.

"Well, he was looking for Percy. He's a satyr, so he's good at sniffing out demigods and stuff." Juniper answered sounding pretty proud of her satyr boyfriend.

"Yeah, I know. Hm, maybe you should talk to Annabeth. She's also having some MIA boyfriend troubles. "Leo said, trying to make Juniper laugh or something.

"Haha. Yeah, poor Annabeth and Percy. You'd think her and Percy would get a break after the Second Titan War." Juniper answered, and then covered her mouth like she shouldn't have said anything.

"What do you mean 'get a break'?" asked a puzzled Leo. Leo knew a lot of people who fought in the second Titan War; why Percy and Annabeth specifically?

"Well, it's just Percy and Annabeth pretty much le—. Well they fought in the Battle of Manhattan. They deserve a break. Especially with that prophe—. " explained Juniper. But she had stopped herself twice, so she was obviously trying hide something.

"Huh. So that's why this Percy guy is a leader here?" quested Leo try to sound like he didn't hear to slipups she made.

Juniper looked relieved that he didn't question her about her little slipups.

"Yeah, among other reasons. Weren't you on the quest to save Hera?" Juniper asked, trying to change the subject, "You should talk to my boyfriend; he's been on some pretty dangerous quests too."

"Oh, who is he?" asked Leo.

Juniper smiled and tried not to laugh as if she somehow found this funny.

"How about I introduce you to him tomorrow? You two can talk about you quests." She offered, and then giggled again.

Leo wondered if she always giggled when telling people about her boyfriend's life threatening quests. 'Hey. Yeah, my boyfriend is on some dangerous mission; he might not return from. *giggles* Sorry, something about life threatening missions and my boyfriend makes me chuckle.'

Then she added, and Leo was pretty sure she was talking to herself, "Though, I probably won't need to…"

And what exactly did she mean by not needing to introduce them? Did Leo already know her boyfriend? Was he the rainbow tattoo guy, butch? Okay, Leo doubted that, but the thought made him laugh.

"Uh, what's so funny? Do I have something drawn on my face or something?" Leo said, deciding his conclusion was most likely wrong.

"Um… just a joke I remember. You wouldn't get it. Oh, by the way, you'll recognize my boyfriend by his Rasta cap. Gotta go." She answered quickly, and then disappeared into a green puff of smoke leaving Leo very confused.

Leo wondered if there was a Hunters of Artemis for guys because, at the moment, not dealing with girls (and all the confusion that comes with being within 10 feet of them) for eternity was sounding like a really good idea.

He sighed and once again started heading towards the arena, still not looking forward to the day ahead of him.

So, how was it? Review and tell me!

Up next is the second to last chapter, Piper's POV (of course). Then that surprise chapter I mentioned. These last three Jason/Piper/Leo chapters are sort of hinting at the surprise. I assume some of you already know what it is, but whatever.

So, for now, Bye (:
