Leo

I woke up feeling like a new born baby. After riding on Festus back for a couple of days it had been nice to sleep in my own bed. My siblings in the Hephaestus cabin had been really happy when I arrived back to camp. I got to know that after the war they had burn mine shroud and that Jake Mason had taken over my role as head counsellor for the cabin. But now, when I was back, he had given back the title to me again, which actually didn't mean so much to me.

Another thing that made me really happy was that Calypso seemed to adapt pretty well at camp. I had seen many talk with her and she seemed to enjoy it. But I too felt that it might had been too much at once. I mean, she had been on that island for a very long time, she wasn't used to talk to people.

I decided it was time to wake up, so I yawned and stretched my whole body. I looked at the clock that hung on the wall, 12 PM, and realized I had slept way over the time I used to. I decided to go and take a shower first and then maybe grab some breakfast, or brunch, cause of the time point.

After the shower I putted on some fresh clothes and my tool belt. The tool belt had managed to stay on me at the explosion, which made me happy. I had everything important in it and could always put more stuff in it, cause it was a magic tool belt. When I felt ready I walked up to the dining pavilion and took some cereals with milk and some orange juice.

While eating I saw Calypso walk towards me. She was having a white tee and blue jeans, which she practically had all the time, but she was always so stunningly beautiful. Her hair was braided and over her right shoulder and she had a cute smile on her face. When she was a couple of meters from me she laughed and looked at me.

"Don't you know it isn't nice to gape, especially with food in your mouth?" she said giving me a sarcastic smile. I swallowed my cereals fast and took a sip from my orange juice.

"No I didn't" I lied and felt how I blushed. Gods, Leo Valdez, you're being owned by a girl! She laughed and sat down across from me and inspected me. I ate my cereals and drank the juice while she was watching me. Then I walk to her side and reached out my hand.

"Want to go for a walk? I have to get Festus fixed, and there is only one place he'll fit." I said. She took my hand and we started to walk towards the forest. While we got to the beach I saw Jason and Piper sitting on the beach and cuddling. They saw us and waved to us, so we started walking towards them.

"Hello lovebirds." Jason said while stroking Piper's arm. I smiled at him and nodded.

"Hi. What are you doing?" I asked while I lay my arm around Calypsos waist. She leaned her head against my shoulder, which was a new thing for me, or yeah, the whole boyfriend thing was new for me.

"We didn't have anything to do, so we decided to do a 'Percy and Annabeth' and sit on the beach, which is pretty nice actually." Piper said and smiled against us with a white smile.

"Where are you going?" Jason wondered. Now when he had his glasses on he looked much smarter, which was pretty scary.

"Bunker 9, Festus has to get a big bowl of oil and tabasco sauce and some care. But see you guys later!"

They waved us off and we started to walk through the forest.

"Bunker 9, what's that?" Calypso said while looking at the surroundings we passed.

"You'll see, it's like my second home." I told her and she laughed.

When we came to the entrance of Bunker 9 I made a ball of fire in my right hand. Then I touched a button beside the door with the flame so it opened.

"You have to open the door with fire?" Calypso asked with curiosity in her voice.

"Yeah, it's some sort of defense mechanism. This bunker is from the Demigod Civil War which my siblings were in to build all kinds of stuff." I told her and led her into the Bunker. It looked like a big aircraft hangar and I had only be able to discover 1/3 of it, cause it was so big. In it there was a ton of different things and everything you needed was there, yeah, even some sandwiches.

When I came in I heard Festus clink his sounds and I went to him. He looked really bad and I realized that I had much work to do.

"Wow Festus, you really are a survivor." I said and started to put oil and tabasco in a mega bowl. When I gave it to him he immediately started to drink it and me and Calypso watched with joy as he finished it.

"He's like a big metallic pet." Calypso said while she leant against a working table and watched him while a smile played on her face. She was so beautiful and I couldn't understand how I, Leo Valdez, could have her as my girlfriend. She was way out of my league, but somehow she liked me, enough for her to escape from the island with me.

"Yeah, but I don't think I would like to play fetch with him." I joked and she laughed. She was so cute when she laughed.

I realized I was staring again so I started to look at Festus leg, which was broken. I immediately saw and felt what needed to be fix on him just by touching the bronze. I felt the wheels inside of him turn and creak, just like a machine should do. But while listening at these sounds I missed the ship, Argo II. It had been the best thing I ever built and it had been destroyed. I could maybe build it again, but I don't know if it would be as good as the old one or if I even would have the strength to do it. But I knew that people would help me if decided to build a new one, I was pretty sure about that. And I think it would come in handy.

"What you thinking about? You look like you're somewhere else and not here." Calypso asked while laying her hand on my shoulder. My hands stopped moving when she touched me. I had already repaired most of the leg, but there were so much damage that I had to replace most parts.

"Just focusing so much on Festus." I lied and continued to fix the rest.

"Leo, I know that was a lie." She said and I turned around and looked at her. She looked at me with caring eyes, I just couldn't lie to her.

"I miss Argo II. Such an amazing thing destroyed." I said and looked down at my now very dirty hands. She came closer and hugged me. It immediately felt better, just knowing the Argo was destroyed for a good cause. Calypso was the best thing that ever had happened to me and I felt the butterflies in my stomach.

"I'm really happy that you are here with me." I finally said. She looked me in the eyes and smiled a beautiful smile.

"And I'm really happy that you came and get me." She said and leant closer to kiss me.

You just have to love Caleo 3 such a beautiful couple :')
