Hey everyone! Okay so this chapter has a BUNCH of Caleo in it and Percabeth is next I think. I'm sorry but maintaining more than three ships is kinda hard sooo... yeah. Anyways, this also has a cliffy. Sorta. Here we go!
This is a REPOST because I messed up on a couple of things :)
Calypso's POV
I have to admit that wearing a skirt was partly because I wanted to impress Leo. Annabeth did the same but for Percy.
Unfortunately for us, we didn't check the weather that day and for Southern Californians, it was considered freezing at 50 degrees. Luckily, it started to warm down later on.
"Hey look we're almost there!" Percy said excitedly as he jumped in his seat. Argus, the limo driver, said- well, more like grunted- that he would take us there.
"Calm down, Seaweed Brain," Annabeth scolded him with a smile. She put her hand on Percy's shoulder and rubbed it.
"But I haven't been to Disneyland in a month!" Percy exclaimed. Annabeth dropped her hand and glared at Percy. Piper, Thalia, and I did the exact same thing.
He looked at our faces one by one and sighed heavily.
"What did I do this time?"
"The last time I went to Disneyland was last year," Piper muttered.
"The last time I went to Disneyland was two years ago," Annabeth informed us.
"Three years," Thalia coughed.
I looked down and blushed.
"You okay Caly?" Annabeth asked me gently. I looked up quickly.
"Yeah," I cleared my throat, "I've just never been to Disneyland before. My dad…" Annabeth, Piper, and Calypso nodded sympathetically.
"WHAT?! YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO DISNEYLAND?!" Percy screamed. Annabeth, who was sitting right next to him, clapped her hands to her ears.
I looked at him, startled by his outburst.
"Um yeah?"
Leo smoothly glided his arm into mine.
"I am gonna be your personal tour guide, Ms. Titan," Leo announced.
"Thanks, Leo," I said with a small smile.
Percy still sat there in shock.
"We have to get her the '1st Day!' sticker," Percy declared in a serious tone.
Annabeth laughed but was quickly hushed by Percy's glaring stare.
"Absolutely," Annabeth nodded frantically trying hard not to laugh.
"Kids we're here," Argus grunted. We felt the limo lurch to a stop.
"YES." Percy pumped his fist and ran out of the car. We followed after him. We seemed to be in some sort of VIP area. I guess Percy got us in here because of him being in a famous band and all.
"You must be the demigods. Here are your special passes," a man around 18 years old told us as he approached us. He handed us each a pass with a Disney character on it.
Mine had Rapunzel from Tangled.
Annabeth had Jane from Tarzan.
Piper had Mulan.
Thalia had Lady Kluck from Robin Hood.
Leo's had Fix-it Felix from Wreck it Ralph.
Percy's had Nemo from Finding Nemo. Jason had Peter Pan.
And Nico had Jack from The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Those seemed strangely accurate…
"These passes will get you discounts for practically all the food, drinks, products, and things like that," he said, "Enjoy the rest of your day!" He walked off.
"Wait!" Percy called out. The man turned around.
"Yes?"
"It's my friend's first time here. Can she have a sticker?" Percy asked him kindly as he gently pushed me forward.
"Sure," he said as he took at a round sticker that said '1st Day!' with Mickey Mouse and his friends on it, and handed it to me.
"Thanks," I thanked him politely. I peeled the sticker off and placed it on my shirt.
"Let's go!" Percy shouted excitedly as he dashed off.
"Wait up!" we all yelled as we chased after him. We arrived at a check-in station and lined up. Annabeth went up to the guy and showed him her bag. I copied her and exited along with everyone else.
"Over there!" Piper squealed as she pointed to the entrance of Disneyland. Thankfully, it was Monday so most people were in school.
Piper grabbed my hand and Annabeth's hand and dragged us to the entrance. We showed them our passes and went inside.
"Woah," I breathed as I took in the pretty sights. There was a train station and flowers that were growing with Mickey's head embedded in it.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Percy sighed next to me. Annabeth rolled her eyes. Percy grabbed her hand and started swinging it. Annabeth gave him a small smile.
Leo grabbed my hand and started singing loudly.
(Leo- italics, Calypso- bold)
I can show you the world
He grinned at me foolishly and continued to sing as I pushed him jokingly. Other people started to look at us and came closer to us.
Shining, shimmering, splendid
Tell me princess
now when did you last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
As he was singing, he let go of my hand to show his expressions with his hands. I giggled softly.
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
He looked expectantly at me and I took a deep breath. Everyone around us was watching and there was a circle around me and Leo.
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world
Don't you dare close your eyes
A hundred thousand things to see
Hold your breath it gets better
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world
Every turn a surprise
With new horizons to pursue
Every moment gets better
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
I slipped my hand into his and he gripped it even tighter.
A whole new world
A whole new world
That's where we'll be
That's where we'll be
A thrilling place
A wondrous place
For you and me
We ended with our hands together and my eyes gazing into his.
A roar of approval and clapping sounded. I quickly looked around and saw that pretty much everyone near the entrance of the park were watching us and alongside that, liked us.
I felt a huge smile on my face as I pulled Leo over to our friends. The girls squeezed me and started telling me how cool we sounded and the boys clapped Leo on the back.
"THOSE ARE THE DEMIGODS!" we heard a girl shriek.
"OH MY GODS!"
A mob of young teenage girls crashed into our group and the next thing you know, we're signing arms, shirts, foreheads, and other crazy things.
An hour later, we were free to go wherever we want. We headed off for the Main Square. We walked down the little walkway and admired all the shops. I couldn't stop gaping at how well put together Disneyland was. It was stunning.
"Where should we go first?" Annabeth asked. Percy, who was right next to her holding her hand, got all excited and told us that we had to check out the Finding Nemo ride.
"Finding Nemo it is!" Jason informed us. I think everyone was now officially in that Disneyland mood.
I slipped my arm through Leo's and we followed Percy and Annabeth. Jason, Piper, Thalia, and Nico were right behind them.
We were a little behind everyone else.
I casually leaned my head and Leo's shoulder and we continued to walk.
"So does that mean you like me now?" Leo asked me after a couple of minutes of silence.
"I don't know," I teased even though I fully knew the answer.
"C'mon! I just sang you a song and everything!" Leo complained. I laughed into his shoulder.
"I'm kidding," I reassured Leo.
"Whew! I honestly don't know what else I could've done to impress you!" Leo joked.
"HEY LOVEBIRDS! HURRY UP!" I heard a voice yell. I looked up and saw Thalia yelling at us from the line. Everyone else was smirking at us and random people looked at us weirdly. I blushed and quickly walked over to the line with Leo right behind me.
"Thalia!" I scolded her. She just shrugged.
"Someone had to tell you to hurry up."
"I have an idea," Piper chirped, probably trying to ease the tension. We all turned to her expectantly.
"How about we sing a song every time we're in line for something? To make it go by quicker?" Piper suggested happily.
Percy looked up at her with amazement.
"That is a really good idea," Percy complimented her.
"Why thank you," Piper replied with a smile.
"What song should we do first?" Annabeth questioned. Percy tapped his chin with his finger and within five seconds, his eyes shone with excitement.
"How about I just can't wait to be king?" he suggested.
Yes! One of my favorite Disney songs!
"Ooh! Yes!" I squealed, clapping my hands with excitement. The boys stared at me weirdly.
"I'm still a girl! Gods, give me a break," I snapped.
"That's what I've been saying!" Thalia exclaimed.
"Same here," Piper and Annabeth agreed.
The boys put up their hands in defense.
"My bad."
"Sorry."
"Oops."
"Got it."
Jason straightened up.
"I just can't wait to be king sounds good," he agreed.
"Okay, Thalia do beat. Jason, Nico, and I, sound effects. Leo, you're Zazu. Calypso, do Nala. Percy, do Simba. Pipes, you have harmony. Ready?" Annabeth commanded. Everyone nodded.
"Thalia go for it," Annabeth addressed. Thalia nodded in understanding.
"One, two, three, four," she whispered.
Annabeth started off with the ba da ba ba ba ba da da da, ba da ba ba ba ba ba ba ba while Jason and Nico did the bass notes and Thalia outlined the beat by clapping her hands. All eyes were on us.
(Percy- italicized, Leo- bold, Calypso and Piper- underlined)
I'm gonna be a mighty king
So enemies beware
Well, I've never seen a king of beasts
With quite so little hair
I'm gonna be the mane event
Like no king was before
I'm brushing up on looking down
I'm working on my roar
Thus far, a rather uninspiring thing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
You've rather a long way to go
Young master, if you think
No one saying, "Do this"
Now when I said that, I
No one saying, "Be there"
What I meant was
No one saying, "Stop that"
Look, what you don't realize
No one saying, "See here"
Now see here
Free to run around all day
Well, that's definitely out
Free to do it all my way
I think it's time that you and I
Arranged a heart to heart
Kings don't need advice
From little hornbills for a start
If this is where the monarchy is headed
Count me out
Out of service, out of Africa
I wouldn't hang about
This child is getting wildly out of wing
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Everybody look left
Everybody look right
Everywhere you look I'm
Standing in the spotlight
Not yet
Let every creature go for broke and sing
Let's hear it in the herd and on the wing
It's gonna be King Simba's finest fling
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
Oh, I just can't wait to be king
With that, we all ended and we found ourselves at the beginning of the line with pretty much everyone in the lines clapping and whistling with approval. We thanked them for being so kind and hopped into the submarine. We all started talking about how the other was really good at such and such and etc. We carefully took our seats in front of the small circular windows and waited for the ride to start.
"Hey," a boy said from next to me. I turned to my right. A guy around my age stared at me. I couldn't really see his face because it was dark.
"Hi," I responded politely. He smiled.
"You're a really good singer," he complimented me. He scooted closer to me. Alarmed, I shifted closer to Leo who seemed too obsessed with the bubbles to notice.
"Aw that's sweet of you. Thanks," I said, cautiously.
"No problem. You're really pretty too," he marveled. He slid a little bit closer to me.
I nervously laughed.
"Hey, look the ride is starting!" I pointed out quickly. I swiftly just stared at the window in front of me and clung onto Leo's arm.
He chuckled.
"Are you scared of the dark, Caly?"
"Umm… yes! Yes, I am," I lied as I scooted closer to him and held on tightly. The creep was still there, eyeing me as I think he pretended to pay attention to the ride.
"Okay, just… don't cut off my circulation- please," he winced. I quickly loosened my grip and laid my head on his shoulder. He wrapped his arm around my waist and I felt… safe.
The ride went on and on. I laughed and smiled at cute little Nemo and Marlin and Dory's humor.
Once the ride ended, the hatch opened and we flooded outside the hatch of the submarine. We stood right outside the exit door.
"Well, that was fun," Nico commented, "I just love watching fish and sharks talk."
"I thought it was cute," Piper cooed.
"It would've been more fun if Wise Girl over here wasn't scared of the dark," Percy grumbled as he pointed to Annabeth who was attached to his hand and arm. Everyone laughed except for Annabeth.
"I'm not afraid of the dark Percy! I just thought there might be spiders." When she said spiders, she shivered.
"Well, Calypso over here is also afraid of the dark," Leo told everyone, "She was glued to my arm too."
I froze.
"Wait. Calypso isn't afra-" Thalia began.
"Yes I am!" I interrupted her quickly and gave her a pointed look. She rolled her eyes and looked over my shoulder.
"Hey some dude is coming this way," Thalia remarked. I gulped.
Please don't let it be him. Please don't let it be him.
"Hey," the creep said to me, "I didn't get your name." I slowly turned around to face him.
I gasped in shock and he looked as shocked as I did.
"You- I. Eddie?! Er- Odysseus?!"
So basically, this guy was my crush for like FOREVER. We were best friends and always hung out but then… he started dating this girl named Penelope. I knew it would never work after I realized they had such a committed relationship. I left it alone but we were still close friends.
"Calypso?"
"Oh I haven't seen you in forever!" I squealed as I squeezed him in a tight hug.
Someone cleared their throat. I let go and turned around.
"Guys, this is Eddie. Well, everyone called him Odysseus back in my old neighborhood," I introduced.
