A/N: So, this Chapter is ALL Leo, and is mostly comic relief, as only Leo can do. Of course, it's not all jokes and laughs, but hey, sue me. Leo is complex and I love the guy for it.

Leo

After hearing about some of Percy's adventures from Connor, we'd all split up to look for Percy and ask about the stuff he'd done. One obviously did not simply casually mention that your friend has used multiple Titans and Gods as punching bags and then leave without sparking a lot of curiosity.

Jason and Piper had headed to the Poseidon Cabin to see if he was still asleep with Annabeth. Hazel and Frank had went to the arena, archery range and climbing wall to check if he was training. Eric had headed towards the beach to look for him.

I'd decided to check the Lake. It seemed to be a popular spot for Percy and Annabeth, and there was very little doubt in my mind that they were together right now.

I ran around the lake frantically, checking everywhere. They'd recently added in Benches all around the camp for campers to relax, and the lake had no shortage of them to check.

Just as I had decided they weren't here, and had started to make my way back to where some of the others were, I saw two figures on one of the benches facing me. I recognized them immediately.

Neither of them noticed me as I started running towards them with way too much excitement and energy. Annabeth was reading a book, while Percy stared at his feet, seeming to be zoned out listening to music or something. They were leaning against each other, shoulder to shoulder.

"PERCY JACKSON!" I shouted loudly, trying to get his attention. Annabeth glanced up at the sound of my voice, and then nudged Percy when she spotted me.

Of course, being Leo Valdez, as soon as I had their full and undivided attention my excitement made my leg flare up unexpectedly. I looked down at my now on fire leg in surprise and reflexively kicked off the ground with my other foot to jump away, launching myself sideways and landing on the ground with a thud.

I quickly extinguished my foot and scrambled to my feet to finish running over to them.

As I arrived, I noted the amused grin on Percy's face, while Annabeth just gave me a weird glare, tilting her head sideways.

"Uh, hey" I said. Percy took out his earbuds and paused whatever he was listening to, I didn't bother asking, because I'd learned that Percy's taste in music was completely random and all over the place.

"Hey" he said cautiously, not knowing if he should be worried about my presence or not. I got the feeling he was preparing to summon the lake at any second in case I spontaneously combusted again.

I decided to make a conscious effort to not burst into flame. I really didn't want to get a lake chucked at me like a football.

"So um, Connor mentioned a few stories about you and some of the baddies you fought and uh…" I trailed off as Percy chuckled, "Let me guess" he said, "You all want to hear more about the fights I've been in." I nodded, grinning. "We heard a bunch of names, we want to know how you beat them up."

Annabeth smirked, "He didn't do it all alone, you know." I ignored her comment because if one of them would just come tell us, we'd know that. Also, I knew it would annoy her.

"Jason, Frank and I are rather ticked off that you didn't let on to how much of a total badass you are Percy." I say, putting a hand over my heart mockingly, "It hurts, I thought we were your friends"

Percy shrugged, "You didn't ask about it before" he said. I glared at him. How dare he use that excuse, 'you didn't ask!'

"Well, we didn't know before Percy, you need to tell us these things for when we write your biography and sell it as an important historical document." I said this sternly, wagging my finger at him in disapproval.

Percy groaned, "I told you already, I'm not writing an autobiography." I grinned wildly and smacked his shoulder, "Of course not buddy, when I said we, I meant Jason and I. We don't want to share the profits with a third person!"

Before he could argue further, I changed subjects back to the reason I came here, "Now, come with Leo kiddies, you're going to tell some stories to the rest of the seven…and Eric, because he's very confused and eager to learn more about you, since he's realized how much of your life he is missing out on." I grabbed their arms and pulled them out of their seats, ignoring their protests.

"Don't worry, there will be plenty of time to talk once we get the others!"

-LINEBREAK-

After Percy and Annabeth had given up on escaping me, (I can be really, really persistent.) We found the others and went to the Amphitheatre. I noticed Connor and Travis waiting for us, grinning like idiots.

Percy was the first to react, slapping his hand on his forehead and closing his eyes. "Please tell me none of you told Travis or Connor what you were getting me to do" he said. Annabeth frowned, obviously figuring out what her boyfriend had already guessed. I looked at the others, who didn't seem to be budging, but noticed Frank fidgeting.

"Uh, Frank, something you want to tell us?" I asked, making everyone turn to him.

Frank froze, and I swear I could see him trying to decide on whether to spill the beans or make a run for it.

He sighed, "They found me when Hazel was checking the archery range and asked what I was doing, I didn't think anything of it!" he spoke quickly, turning a little bit red from embarrassment. "Sorry" he mumbled, looking down.

Percy just sighed, releasing his frustration with a big breath. "Its fine." He said to Frank, who let out a relieved huff. Percy pushed on and past the Stolls into the Amphitheatre, and once I caught up to him, I realized what the big fuss Percy was making was about.

Travis and Connor had somehow seen fit to spread the word of our little 'story time' plan to the other campers, effectively turning it into an open invitation to two hundred and something demigods who wanted to hear about some of Percy's feats.

"Well Percy, look at it this way, they all already see you as famous, now you're just telling them why you're famous" I said, laughing at his discomfort.

Percy shook his head, "I don't want to be a Celebrity Leo! I'm not that great. Most of the stuff I've done was luck!"

Annabeth appeared in time to punch Percy in the shoulder, "Barely any of it was luck, Percy, stop denying that." She said, grabbing his hand. "And by the way, I already gave the Stolls a little warning to make sure they don't do something like this again, so don't worry about them."

Percy nodded, a grin spreading across his face as he and Annabeth headed into the Amphitheatre.

I looked around until I found the Stolls. Both of them were lying on a bench holding their crotches, writhing in pain.

Maybe it was still a good idea to not piss off Blondie… even at camp.

I took my seat and noticed Chiron enter the Amphitheatre and head over to Percy. He must've heard about this and decided to make a camp activity out of it. That, or he noticed that the entire camp was all in one place at the same time without him asking them to gather and wondered what the Hades was going on.

Eventually, we all got settled down and Percy took his place in the centre area.

"So, this was originally going to be me telling a few stories about my life to a bunch of friends who were curious, but of course, some people-" Percy glared at the Stolls, "-decided to spread the word and turn this into a full camp event." A few cheers went up at that, before dying down to let Percy continue.

Percy began to say what some of the stories he'd tell were before he got into them, his voice was loud, easily audible even to those in the back of the stands.

I noticed how everyone in the Amphitheatre was listening intently to Percy, even the Ares cabin, which apparently hated him. The guy had done nothing to gather their attention, they heard that he was going to be telling stories about his life, and every single one of them had shown up, and Percy had their undivided attention.

Percy might be the most modest demigod in this camp, but at this moment. He held the eyes of every single other demigod here, and as much as he would try to deny it, Percy was the one they see as their leader, and this was the amount of respect they had for him. It was hard not to realize how powerful that was, and that made Percy a very powerful person at camp, and not because of his Demigod powers or his sword.

Jason seemed to notice as well, as his jaw hung open in awe, looking around the seats.

I nudged him, my usual hyper ADHD fidgeting actions had disappeared, brushed away by the feeling of awe. Jason turned to me with an eyebrow raised, "What's wrong with you? Your jaw looked like it was trying to separate from your face."

He subtly pointed around at the campers, whispering back, "Two Hundred and Fifty plus ADHD demigods, and every last one is paying attention to Percy just because he's Percy" he said.

I shrugged, pretending it should be no deal, "You were Praetor at Camp Jupiter, wouldn't they do the same for you?" I asked, raising my eyebrows at him.

Jason let out a sigh, "Not unless we requested a gathering to speak to them" he said, "Percy didn't even want them here and they came at the first mention of him talking about his accomplishments."

I could sense how he felt about it, and felt a bit bad for him. There was no way any of us would be as well-known as Percy was. While we were still known and all, before today, we'd only known a few things about Percy's past, and hadn't spent a big amount of time at camp with him to see how the other campers acted around him and talked about him.

I figured it was probably for the best though, I mean, if I had all that fame and popularity, I'd totally get a big head and use my power for myself. Percy was so modest and oblivious, he either didn't think he deserved the recognition he got or didn't realize how much power and influence he had half the time.

"Just be glad it's Percy who has this power and not some major jerkhead." I said, shrugging.

Jason must've figured that was good enough, and turned his attention back to Percy's story. As did I.

We were taking in how important he was to the campers and all, but we still wanted to hear the stories as much as everyone else did. Otherwise we wouldn't have brought him here.

While Percy went on, my eyes wandered around the stands, Piper was with Jason and I, but Frank and Hazel were near the front, close to Annabeth, who of course was in the front row to be as close to Percy as possible. I knew the Stolls were somewhere in the front too, from when Percy had glared at them, and assumed Katie was with them.

As for our newest addition, I spotted Eric in the stands to my right, with that Dionysus girl who'd beaten him up yesterday. I smirked, as they seemed to be getting close. I had told him after that sparring match that she was into him, and I was standing beside that belief.

I had a few tricks up my sleeve to keep them near one another, which meant I'd have to have a talk with Eric later.

-LINEBREAK-

I sought out Eric, hoping to ask him what was up between him and the wine girl.

Yes, I've taken to calling her the wine girl. Originality has no place here.

Admittedly, the long line of stories Percy had told today were still sifting through my mind, with all the things he'd done, it was surprising to know he was in fact a mortal demigod. From what he'd done, you'd have thought he was a God himself for most of it.

I tried to put those thoughts on the backburner to talk about with Jason and Piper later, or something like that.

I saw Eric sitting at the edge of the lake and went over, sitting down next to him quietly, but making sure he knew I'd shown up. I didn't want to give the guy a heart attack.

"So, enjoying your quality time with Andrea?" I asked, rather suggestively. Eric turned to me and I wiggled my eyebrows for effect.

He shoved me towards the water and I tried not to get overly offended, "Whoa there, let's not shove the fire guy into his greatest weakness huh? Are you trying to murder me?" I asked, false anger in my voice.

Eric stuttered, trying to apologize, so I laughed at him to let him know I was kidding. "Jeez man, calm down, water doesn't hurt me." The glare I got from him made it very worth it.

"Seriously though, care to share?" I asked.

Eric shrugged, "I dunno, she's pretty cool, even if she beat me up and punches me a lot"

I smirked, "Don't worry, that's a good thing." I said.

He raised an eyebrow, "How would you know?"

I grabbed his shoulder and mimicked a wise elder giving advice, "Well you see, I have eyes, and they see Annabeth hit and beat up Percy a lot, Piper hit and beat up Jason a lot, Hazel hit and beat up Frank a little bit, but she's just shy. Obviously. Katie hit and beat up Travis a lot…" I let him take it in for a moment, "Do you see the pattern?" Eric nodded.

"Heck, half the time I just get yelled at and threatened by-" Eric's head turned to face me with new interest and I froze, not really ready to share that certain piece of information yet. "Uh, nevermind."

I tried to stay upbeat and avoid the memories, but it was always on my mind. They'd given me very little choice, and by that I mean no choice, on whether or not I was attending Goode this year, which complicated my schedule very much, since I wasn't allowed to miss an indefinite amount of school to go to the Mediterranean for a certain crabby, insufferable, amazing Goddess.

That meant I was stuck waiting for Winter break. Which felt like it was an eternity away, considering we were only a week into the school year.

I knew one thing though, I'd already made my case to the Gods and make it painfully clear that I was personally going to make sure they released her this time and didn't forget like they did when Percy requested it.

I hadn't forgotten my oath. I was going to go back for Calypso, I just wasn't ready to tell my friends yet. Especially Percy.

"Anyways, what are you going to do when you go back to your house and school?" I asked, looking over at Eric again.

He shrugged, his face taking on a frustrated expression, "No idea, I mean, I just met her, and found out all these things about the gods and being a part of it all. It's like, I want to go back to school and stuff, but I don't want to leave Camp behind." He looked out over the lake, with the moonlight shining down on it, "Or at least, certain parts of Camp." I noticed a ghost of a smile flicker across Eric's face.

"Well, you could always see if Andrea wants to try attending Goode" I suggested, knowing it'd get his attention.

"I wish" he said wistfully, "But she has nowhere to stay, and she can't just apply to the school on her own"

I nodded, but had already thought things through for him. "Yea, but she can ask Chiron and Mr. D for permission to go, they can get her enrolled no problem and get her mom's approval, plus, we have an extra bed in the girls bedroom at the apartment, it was going to be Annabeth's, but she decided that Percy's torso was a better bed and ditched us. So it's up for grabs"

"I don't know if she'd go for it" he said, seeming to be determined to rain on the parade I was throwing him, and I shrugged, "Never know until you ask, you pessimist." I got up quickly, brushing off my jeans, "Besides, Mr. D is her dad, so if she wants to go, she's basically going, because apparently the guy likes his own kids, just hates all the rest of us"

I held out a hand to help Eric up and he took it. "Think about it, you have most of tomorrow to bring it up to her, but after that we go back to the city"

With that, I left him alone and headed to my Cabin, ready to lie on my bed and relax a little bit. Assuming I didn't catch on fire again, because it'd already happened once today and I wouldn't put it past myself to try and scare myself half to death AGAIN with something that can't kill me.

It's like my body hated me sometimes.

A/N: Next Chapter will be getting back to the City and stuff, because while Camp has been fun, this Story is titled after Goode High, so I figure it should take place mostly at the school and in the city, you know? xD
