While building Argo 2, Leo decides to buy a new video - camera, and film everything that's going on. Including interviews with campers, Jasper, Percabeth and more (: I suck at summaries. Placed between TLO and SoN. T because I want.
Disclaimer: I if were Rick Riordan, I wouldn't be writing this. I'd be working on "The Mark of Athena". So apparently, I'm NOT Rick Riordan, who owns all the characters.
Chapter seventeen: Leo is Having a Blast
An Interview With: Leo Valdez, son of Hephaestus
"What do you mean by saying 'Annabeth and Grover connected Percy'?" Leo asked as he and Katie ran to the Big House. "How did they contact him?"
"Long story," Katie said. "But Grover and Percy can contact each other in their thoughts. I don't know how that happened, thought."
"Cool!" Leo said. "I want to contact someone in my thoughts!"
"I'm not sure that someone would want to be related to you in that way," Katie laughed.
Leo didn't respond. So Drew was right, Leo thought. Nobody likes me.
"Why are you not talking?" Katie asked. "I was kidding."
"What? No. I was just thinking about something," Leo said. They entered the Big House, and found that the rest of the head counselors were waiting for them. "I brought Leo," Katie said and sat down next to Butch.
"Thank you, sweetheart," Chiron said. (A\N: about the 'sweetheart' thing… The Hunger Games movie affects me.) "Now, Annabeth, tell us what happened, please."
Annabeth nodded. "Grover and I were talking about contacting Percy in the near future, and Grover said he want to try it right away. So he tried, and Percy disappeared in front of us."
"What did he say?" Thalia asked.
"Hmm," Annabeth blushed. "He was being Seaweed Brain again."
"What did he say?" Thalia repeated her question.
"He asked if I was real.." Annabeth said. "But that's not the point. He wore the same purple shirt Jason wore back in December -"
"- Which means he is at Camp Jupiter," Jason said.
"Good. So everything is good," Travis said. "He waits at Camp Jupiter, you pick him and two more demigods once the warship is finished, and then you go to Greece and kick Gaea's butt."
But right then, Nico appeared next to Chiron. "Nico? Dude, what are you doing here?" Connor asked.
Nico nodded. "Hey guys. I have some news."
"What? Where are you?" Annabeth asked. Nico was standing on a rooftop. He wore his usual clothes, and diamonds were lying on the floor around him.
"I'm at Camp Jupiter. I should make this quick. Percy is here. He lost the Achilles spot, and he isn't wounded." Nico said.
"We already know that," Thalia said. "Grover and Annabeth contacted him via a dream. What's happening?"
"Well, Mars visited here yesterday night after War Games," Nico said.
"Mars?" Connor and Travis asked.
"He's the Roman form of Ares," Jason said quickly. "It never happened before in Camp Jupiter. What did he want?"
"Well, he claimed one of his sons," Nico said. "A guy names Frank. Jason, do you know him?"
"I have a new brother?" Clarisse asked.
"Yes," Nico said. "But that is not the point."
"No, I don't know him," Jason said after a few seconds of thinking. "Go on."
"And then he said what I had said a few days ago, about Death being captured and everything. He said a quest should be done, and he said his son should lead it."
"That is good," Clarisse said. "What does this Frank is like?"
"He's not a worthy son of Ares," Nico admitted. "He's clumsy and he doesn't fight well. He's good with archery. The people here don't like him much."
"What a shame," Clarisse muttered.
"Thank you, Clarisse," Annabeth said. "Nico, what's about that quest?"
"So after Mars arrived, Percy was acting really weird," Nico said.
"He met you yet?" Annabeth called.
"Yes. He said he knows me, but I didn't tell him who I am. My half sister was showing him around and apparently Octavian told her I was here, so –"
"Octavian? You never mentioned Octavian," Piper said to Jason.
"Well, he's like Rachel, but he's not an oracle. He has books and he reads the signals of the gods. Long story," Jason apologized.
"So yes, I met Percy. He wanted to talk with me after dinner, but Reyna announced about the war games, so he didn't have a chance."
"What are these war games?" Butch asked.
"It's like capture-the-flag, but there are five teams. Two teams are defending their flags, and the rest three are trying to steal them. Long story," Jason explained. "I will explain it later. What about the war games, Nico?"
"So after Percy, Frank and Hazel, who is my sister, won the game, Mars arrived. Percy was acting weird. He told Mars he fought him, and stuffs like that. Mars was getting mad, and after he told Frank he should free Death, he told Percy he should accompany him."
"Oh, no," Annabeth sighed. "I can't believe this is happening."
"Yes." Nico agreed. "They're going tomorrow. They should be back on June 24th, just in time for the Feast of Fortune. Oh, and by the way, Annabeth, Reyna hates you."
"Me? Why? I never met her before," Annabeth said.
"You met her. In the Sea of Monsters. She was one of the women in the spa. I believe you met her sister, too. Her name is Hylla."
"I can't remember, but the name sounds familiar," Annabeth said. It was clear to Leo that Annabeth was remembering it, and she didn't want to tell everyone about it. Maybe she was ashamed of it?
"Nico?" they heard a call from Nico's direction. "I'm coming! Just a sec," Nico called. "Gwen is coming. I need to go."
"Okay, thank you, Nico," Chiron said. Until that moment Leo forgot Chiron was there.
"But one last thing," Nico said. "Annabeth, I think you should know that Percy asked Hazel about you. He remembers you." And he disappeared.
Annabeth sunk to her seat, smiling, "He remembers me," she said. "He remembers me."
"I told you he wouldn't get a new girlfriend," Thalia laughed.
"Thank you, Hera," Annabeth whispered. "Thank you!"
"I'm happy for you, Annabeth," Chiron smiled. "Everyone dismissed. Leo, try to hurry with the ship now that we know Percy is alive."
"Okay, sir," Leo said. He stood up, and exited the room with everybody else. Annabeth kept muttering "He remembers me's" to herself, and Travis and Connor tapped on Leo's shoulder.
"Hey man," Travis said.
"Hi." Leo said.
"Leo, we have a question for you," Connor said.
"What?"
"Can we interview you?"
"What?" Leo laughed. "This is my job."
"Please. You were never interviewed before. We want to have the honor!" Travis said.
Leo looked at them. "You won't try to steal my camera, right?" he warned.
"No," Travis said.
"Promise me."
"We, Connor and Travis Stoll, are promising in the name of our godly grandmother's underpants, that we are not going to steal Leo Valdez's video camera," Connor said.
A thunder boomed in the sky. Leo considered this for a second, and then said, "Okay." He took the camera out of his tool belt, and showed the Stolls how to turn it on.
"Hello there," Leo said once they turned this camera on. "So I had this awesome idea, how about I'll let the Stolls interview me?"
"We thought of that idea!" Connor protested.
"Nah," Leo waved his hand. "I thought about it a while ago. So let's get started!"
"First question," Travis said. "What were you feeling when you got to Camp for the first time?"
"Well, I was excited," Leo said," And also confused, because everything looked like fiction to me. But when I understood what's going on I started to enjoy being in here.. And then I had to go to free Hera."
"Same thing about us," Travis said, "But we didn't have to free Hera."
"Lucky you," Leo smiled.
"So, Leo, what do you like the most about Camp?" Connor asked.
"Hmm, I donno," Leo said. "Maybe being able to be who I am without getting weird looks, because everything here is crazy. I mean, like, a horse rules this camp. This is the weirdest thing ever!"
"I agree," Travis said. "Connor and I do get weird looks. But we know that this is because our awesomeness."
"I'm sure it is," Leo snorted.
"Don't act un-friendly!" Connor said. "Leo, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Sadly, I don't," Leo confessed. "But only because there are too many girls in this camp that want me. I can't decide who to pick. You see that girl?" he pointed at one of Hecate's daughters. "She wants me. You see that one?" he pointed at Lacy. "She wants me. You see that one?" he pointed at another girl. "She wants me."
"In your dreams!" Thalia called. "I'm a hunter! And you're not even my friend."
"So what am I? The prince on the white horse?" Leo asked.
"You're my little brother's most annoying friend," Thalia said. "And I'm being generous."
"Hurtful," Leo complained.
"I think we should finish this interview now before she kills you," Connor suggested.
"I agree," Leo muttered. "Now give me back my camera."
"Oops, you didn't make us swear on River Styx," Travis said. "Too bad for you." And he ran away, holding the camera.
"Give me that back!" Leo yelled, and started to chase him.
"Boys," Thalia shook her head.
