Leo's POV
Everything was great. Jason didn't care about me and Piper, he had someone, Hazel and Frank were good, and Nico was Nico. So I guess all of our relationship problems were great. Let's not talk about the other stuff. I was sitting on my bed when I heard the door open. I look up, and it was none other than my beauty queen.
"Hey Pipes," I say.
"What's up Repair Boy?" She asks, smiling.
"Just the usual, you know, trying to make something that will most likely not be useful to this quest in any way shape or form."
"Sounds fun."
"Oh, it is. Watch closely while I tie this knot." I say, sarcastically.
"Wow, that's super interesting." She replies, acting amazed. "Wanna go grab some breakfast?"
"Yeah sure," I say, standing up. I've grown taller than her since the quest started. So I wrapped my arm around her and we started towards the dining room, as we hear a young girl's scream.
"Hazel!" Exclaimed Piper, running to the dining hall with me close behind. We enter the dining hall and are greeted by smiles, tears, hugs, and two teenagers. A boy and a girl. A black-haired boy and a blonde-haired girl. Percy and Annabeth were back. They survived Tartarus. Piper shrieked at the top of her lungs, ran towards Annabeth, and almost knocked her over in a bear hug. I walked up to Percy and gave him a hug, same to Annabeth when Piper was finally pried off of her. After all the excitement had died down and we had explained why Carter, Sadie, Walt, and Zia were here, we all sat down at the table.
"So, other than Carter and crew's arrival," Sadie huffed, "what did we miss?" Asked Percy.
"Well, nothing really," I responded.
"Well obviously something," he said, smirking and nodding at my arm wrapped around Piper.
"Oh, yeah, that."
Piper snickered. "Leo and I are dating now and Jason is dating Reyna."
It was quiet for a couple minutes when Percy spoke up. "Annabeth you owe me ten bucks."
"Oh. I forgot about that." She responded.
"What the heck did you bid on?" Asked Piper.
"Percy bet that you and Leo would get together. I swear, if he couldn't control water I would think he's a son of Aphrodite," remarked Annabeth as the room erupted into laughter.
"Gosh, I'm starving." Said Percy, obviously trying to change the subject.
"Me too, bro." Piper mocked.
"Very funny," he replied, staring daggers at her in a joking way. Banter went on between them, and nobody dared mention Tartarus or the quest the entire time. We just sat around and had fun the entire meal, like regular teenagers. That's kind of weird to think about, being a normal teenager. I was never even a normal kid.
