So, to clear the whole negative, negative attitude, I decided to do some Caleo to lighten up the mood. How about it? Okay, then, let's do this! Happy Reading!

"Come on! Dress up fast, Hazel! We'll need to rush if we need to complete the walk before breakfast." Piper cried, to Hazel who was fixing up her hair in the bathroom.

"Muming, Piper!" Hazel said, mumbling with clips in her mouth.

"Annabeth, are you feeling quite okay?" Piper asked her friend, who was wearing her socks. Annabeth was looking pale and had dark circles under her eyes.

"What? Oh, yeah. I'm alright." Annabeth said, seeming far from alright.

Piper frowned. "You aren't getting those fainting fits again, are you?"

"'Course not, Pipes. I'm just fine." Annabeth said and gave her a half-smile. "I'm just tired, I guess. The walk will do me good."

"Okay, then," Piper said, not quite convinced, but knew better than to be over-protective.

"I'm finished." Hazel came out of the bathroom, her hair neatly pinned down in its usual way.

"Great! Then let's go!" Piper said.

The girls had really become fans of morning walks. The cool atmosphere energized them as nothing could and a little exercise was more than welcome. Today, the girls had made plans of walking around the hotel.

The three girls met Calypso and Reyna outside their rooms. Together, they made their way out into the garden. In a horizontal file, they walked, talking and laughing.

"What's up with Annabeth?" asked Calypso whispering to Piper.

"I have no clue. She's been glum since she woke up. I don't know what to think. When I asked her, she said she was fine and wanted to come on this walk. So, I really don't know what happened. She was fine yesterday."

"Hmm." Calypso said, quite puzzled by Annabeth's behavior.

A whistling sound floated in the air and Calypso smiled. After a moment, she said, "Guys, I just remembered. I have to check on that plant I bought yesterday. I have to water it. You guys carry on."

The others agreed and Calypso went off towards the garden which the five had left behind a few minutes ago, a slight skip in her step as she increased her pace.

FLASHBACK

"Calypso!" A voice behind her called out.

She turned and saw the grinning face of Leo.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Calypso asked, returning his impish grin with a smile.

"Saw you and wondered what a star was doing her in broad daylight." Leo smirked.

Calypso rolled her eyes. After yesterday night, they had talked and become quite good friends. She was in a nursery close to the museum they had been visiting. Before going back to the resort, Calypso had rushed here to buy a plant. Since she was small, she had been used to nurturing some plant or the other wherever she went. It was kind of like a hobby.

Having noticed what kind of plants were in the garden of the resort, she had decided to buy one which wasn't present there. So far, she hadn't had any success.

"Are you ever going to stop?" Calypso smiled at Leo, standing near her holding his smirk.

"Stop what?" He asked innocently.

Ignoring him, Calypso continued her search for a different plant till she was interrupted by Leo. "What are you searching for?"

Calypso told him. "A plant which is different, yet beautiful. And one which blooms."

"Hmm. How about that one?" Leo pointed to a nearby plant.

"That's already planted in the hotel."

He went on suggesting a few more, all of which were already present in the hotel compound.

Suddenly his eyes fell on a beautiful plant kept in a corner, almost hidden by the plants surrounding it. "What's that?" he advanced towards the plant while Calypso followed him.

Parting the leaves of the other plants, he saw the beautiful sapling with a single flower in bloom while four other buds surrounded it. It was a beautiful flower with light pink petals darkening towards the middle into a bright crimson color.

"Woah," was the only word both of them could manage.

"This is definitely not there in the garden, I can say that for sure." Calypso said, her eyes shining at this little beauty.

Leo looked at her and saw the reflection of the pink beauty in her shining caramel brown eyes. When I think about it, he thought, I can't decide which is more beautiful, the flower or Calypso. He smiled at the thought.

"Are you going to buy this?" Leo finally asked.

"Yup, two of them."

"Two? What for?" Leo asked, bewildered.

"Well, don't I wanna keep it too?" Calypso asked, raising her eyebrows at his astonishment.

"Of course. What's it called, anyway?" Leo asked.

"Let's ask." Calypso said and went to the shopkeeper. "Excuse me, what's the name of this plant?"

"It's called a 'Moonlace', miss," the shopkeeper replied, smiling at her. "It's a common plant around here, so common that nobody wants to buy it. They got plenty of it there. Would you like to buy it?"

"Yes, thank you. I would like two of the plants," smiled back Calypso.

"Make it three," Leo said, suddenly.

"Three?" It was now Calypso's turn to be astonished. "What will I do with three?"

"You'll only get two. The third one is mine." Leo grinned. "You don't see many such beauties these days. Please get three ready for us, Sir."

The shopkeeper agreed and set about to do the cutting and preparation to sell the plant.

"Tell you what? This will be out plant." Calypso said, grinning.

"What do you mean, our?" Leo asked, curiously.

"It means that we'll regard it as our special plant. A bond of friendship between us. What about it?" Calypso eyes shone with luster and Leo's heart missed a beat as he stared back at her.

"Sure," he said, smiling. "Whatever you say, Sunshine."

The shopkeeper returned to them and they paid the money for the three plants, Leo carrying two and Calypso, one. As the two walked down the road to their bus, Leo got a brilliant idea.

"What about we go for a walk sometime?" he said, trying not to sound too excited but in vain.

Calypso agreed. "When do you wanna go?"

"I don't know. Anytime you can get rid of all the other girls who are always beside you. Seriously, aren't you ever without bodyguards?" Leo asked.

Calypso laughed. "Well, whenever you want me alone, give me a sign, and we can go somewhere private. But only sometimes, I could get an overdose of you and start getting irritated again, you know." She grinned at him.

"Nah. Not gonna happen. But let's think. What signal?" Leo wondered out loud. "What about a whistle?"

"Like an in-tune whistle? I don't mind." Calypso said. "What tune, though?"

Leo whistled a soft tune that reminded Calypso of cool breezes and blue flowers blossoming in spring. It was a short one but no doubt, it was a beautiful tune.

"How about this?" Leo asked.

"I love it!" Calypso grinned. "Where'd you learn it from?"

"It's a tune my Mom used to whistle when I was small." Leo smiled. "Necessary to get my attention from nuts and bolts to food." He turned to Calypso as they neared the bus. "How are you going to call me?"

"I won't need to. I'm sure I won't ever want your company to irritate me when I'm in a placid mood." Calypso laughed and jogged over to the bus before Leo could catch her.

END FLASHBACK

Calypso reached the garden where she thought the whistle had sounded from. But no one was there in the garden. Puckering her lips, she turned to go and find Leo elsewhere, she found him right behind her.

"Miss me?" Leo grinned.

"Any chance of that?" Calypso smirked. "I think that you must have missed me, because I didn't think you would whistle so soon."

"Yeah, well. You don't know much about me." Leo grinned and put his arm around her. Then, remembering himself, he lowered his arm and asked, "What about we get to know each other."

"Sure," said Calypso smiling a little, for Leo's arm had done the trick.

And so they went on talking and walking till they came almost at the back of the building. A big fountain with great tumbling waves posed as such a calm picture that the pair stopped to stare at it.

"Isn't it the sweetest thing?" Calypso said, her eyes shining as the day before and a bright smile on.

Leo put his finger on his chin and pretended to think. "Not the sweetest, come to think about it. Might be the third I think."

"Really?" Calypso said, amused and raised her eyebrows. "What are the first two?"

"Hmm. Well, the first one is undoubtedly you, while the second one is the flower we bought yesterday." Leo said as he reeled this off into the air and then looked at Calypso who was blushing.

"Stop it. You're such a flirt."

"Well, I can't help it, can I?" Leo wiggled his eyebrows. "I re-think now. The fountain is the fourth sweetest thing, the flower is the third and I am on the second position."

Calypso laughed. "I think you're flattering yourself too much."

"I don't think so. Especially since I proved I'm nice when I complimented you so nicely. So, in short I nicely said that you're nice so I'm nice. See? Aren't I the sweetest thing ever- of course after you?"

Calypso shook her and went ahead trying to ignore his question but Leo caught her hand and pulled her back. Calypso knitted her eyebrows and putting on an annoyed face asked, "What?"

"You didn't answer my question, Sunset." Leo smirked. "Should I take that as a yes, then?"

"Okay, yes. Fine. Can I go now?" Calypso said, as Leo held her hand.

"Why do want to go?" Leo said, faking an injured tone as pulled her closer towards him while he walked towards the fountain. "Can't you stay?"

"I have to meet the girls. I said I'll be back after some time." Calypso said, blushing a little as she sat down next to Leo. She leaned on the parapet and Leo's hand accidentally landed the same place as hers.

Both of them fell silent and the only sound to be heard was the tinkling of the water of the fountain falling behind them. Calypso looked into his deep brown eyes while Leo looked in her caramel eyes.

Breaking the silence of the pairs, the four girls emerged from the corner overlooking the fountain. The sound of their footsteps made Calypso and Leo start and they looked up to find the girls strolling over.

Piper saw them from afar and raised her eyebrows. Hadn't Calypso said she was going to watch over her plant? What was she doing here then? The other girls hadn't noticed anything.

Leo, meanwhile turned to Calypso, "Here, they come. I must go. I'm gonna whistle you soon."

"Okay, bye." Calypso watched him run down the path they had come from, a little sad at their abrupt ending.

She ran towards the girls who noticed her coming and greeted her. Some talk ensued again when Piper asked her, "Was that Leo with you?"

"What? No. When?" Calypso mumbled, flustered at being asked such a direct question.

"Unlike the others I noticed." Piper smirked. "It was him, wasn't it?" Calypso nodded, blushing a little at his name.

"Well, is it the beginning of something or is it just me?" Piper grinned as she thought, She sure likes him.

"Oh, please. Don't be ridiculous. Leo and me? Of course, not." Calypso said, dismissively.

Yet she couldn't resist breaking into a small smile when she saw Leo's grinning face at breakfast in the hotel.
