10 DAYS LATER:

LEO II:

Today was the day that I was going to take on the world with Calypso. After about a week of partying with my friends, we decided we'd leave and see the world. But boy, was it good to take a shower the day that I arrived. I couldn't wait to see the world with her. Well, I've already seen some of the world, but I'd do it all again for Calypso. We first planned on going to Mexico, as I haven't been there since I was very young, then Europe, and then to Asia (I've always wanted to go to China and stuff) and then we'll go on a safari in Africa. Afterwards, I planned on going to South America and after that Australia! I couldn't wait to go with her. It'll just be me and her. I found her waiting by Festus with everyone. It took me a while to fix Festus. I think Calypso was getting a little annoyed by staying here, I spent three days fixing Festus and then I hung out with my friends a lot. I kind of left her alone and she didn't know anyone here. But now, I was going away with her and we weren't coming back for a long time. We were gonna have romantic walks on the beaches of Mexico and have romantic dinners in France, it's gonna be amazing. Holy Hephaestus! What's happening to me? I'm turning into a love sick puppy! I'd consider myself way more manly than a puppy. I hugged everyone goodbye and helped Calypso onto Festus.

"I'll see you soon guys! I'll send some postcards, can't guarantee anything. I'll try to Iris message you when I can," I said.

"Bye!" everyone shouted.

"Festus, to Mexico," I told him.

Creak? he asked.

"Yep, non-stop all the way to Mexico, I've added a few upgrades so you could probably fly from here to Australia if you tried," I said.

Calypso wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed my cheek.

"Goodbye everyone!" I shouted.

Festus lifted up into the air and soon enough we could barely see Camp Half Blood.

"We should be reaching Mexico in a few hours, Calypso," I told her. after about fifteen minutes of flying.

She didn't respond.

"Calypso?" I turned around and looked at her. "You feeling okay? You haven't said anything since we—"

"I love you," she cut me off. "I know we barely know each other, and that I'm probably insane but—"

I cut her off with a kiss.

"I love you, too," I said and I kissed her again, but more passionately.

Creak! Festus said. I rolled my eyes.

"What did he say?" Calypso asked.

"He's asking whether he's gonna have to put up with our PDA for the whole trip," I laughed.

"Well, he's just going to have to live with it," Calypso said and kissed me again.

ANNABETH III:

I held Percy's hand as Leo and Calypso sailed to Mexico. We both said our goodbyes to everyone before we left. I was happy for him. Percy and I had already started senior year together, it was hard but I loved it. We came here to say hi, we're on fall break at the moment so we could stay for a week and then go back. It was a nice surprise to see Leo, but Calypso kind of got me paranoid. I was worried she'd get mad at Percy for not saving her or mad at me for being the reason that Percy left in the first place. I couldn't wait to start college, though. It was going to be amazing. New Rome looked so much nicer than Camp Half Blood (don't tell Chiron I said that) We had started school only a few days after battle, geez we looked like real outcasts. The hardest part was coming up for a story for all our injuries. In the end, we made up a story about totally disastrous camping, which was part true if you count Camp Half Blood as a camping sight. Percy and I would be leaving Camp Half Blood today, to go back to our school in New York. Then in ten months we'll graduate and go to college. I'm going to study architecture and I'm not sure what Percy wants to do.

"Percy, I think we have to go now," I said.

We were going to meet up with Sally and Paul (Percy's parents) tonight for dinner before we go back to school. Percy hasn't seen them in ages so we figured we should have dinner with them.

"I know, surprisingly I think I'm gonna miss this place more," he admitted.

"Me too, but we can come during winter break," I said.

"And then during spring break," Percy said.

"And then for the whole summer," I said.

"Yeah, lets go," Percy said.

"We'll be late for dinner, otherwise," I said.

We walked over to the car and got in. Percy was driving, I couldn't drive very well in New York traffic. I gave Percy a kiss on the cheek and then we headed off into the big city.

PERCY IV:

I couldn't wait to see my Mum again. Paul, too of course. It'd been so long since I'd seen her, and I felt kind of guilty that I hadn't made much effort to contact her throughout the months that I was sailing on the Argo II or when I remembered who she was. But I guess it didn't matter now, I was going to go see her. The school year had been great so far and I couldn't wait to graduate. I'd been getting straight B's with the help of Annabeth, but hey, better than an F, right? I wanted to get a degree in something, I was thinking of being a marine biologist and Poseidon could probably help me a lot if he wanted to. I was also considering helping out marine animals that had been caught in traps and stuff. It's not like they could hurt me that much, okay maybe a shark could but I'm pretty sure I could talk to it. So I guess I'd get a degree in veterinary services or something. I wanted to see Tyson sometime soon, I heard he and Ella were making progress on trying to reconstruct the Sibylline Books. Rachel had ditched doing that and she had gotten her powers back but she was on vacation with her Dad at the beach someplace. I didn't really want to deal with anymore prophecies lately. I'd already been part of two of them, I think that's enough for one lifetime.

"Do we need to get dressed up for dinner tonight?" I asked.

"Yes, Seaweed Brain," she replied.

She hasn't called me that in a while.

"Okay then, Wise Girl," I teased, I hadn't called her that in a while either.

She gave me a friendly punch in the arm and then a kiss on the cheek.

"You know, next year is going to be the best," she said.

"I know, There'll be no monsters around," I said.

"No prophecies we have to follow," she said.

"Well, we don't know that for certain," I said.

"It'll be perfect," she said.

"You're perfect," I told her.

"I love you, Percy," she smiled and kissed me on the cheek.

"Love you too, Wise Girl," I smiled.

JASON V:

All this work with getting new cabins and shrines and stuff for every single god was hard work. But, it was worth it. I was going back and forth from camp to camp and I was constantly seeing Hazel and Frank at Camp Jupiter and seeing Piper at Camp Half Blood. I walked past Piper, I wished I could say hi to her but I had to meet up with Iris to discuss what her cabin/shrine would look like. Some gods wanted cabins and others wanted shrines, so that'd mean that I'd have to design another building to put all the shrines in. Piper saw me walk past and ran over to me, I guess I could talk for a minute. Besides, I wanted to ask her out on a date sometime. I realized earlier today that we'd never officially gone on a date, I guess that's what happens when you're busy trying to save the world from Gaia.

"Hey," Piper said and kissed me on the cheek. "I feel like we haven't seen or talked to each other in ages."

"I know, me too. It's just that I've been so busy with this whole project of mine. And you've been busy restoring the camp, which looks awesome by the way," I told her.

"Thanks," she smiled and paused for a moment. "So I was wondering... see, my Dad has this dinner on tonight and he invited me and told me that I should bring someone. So, I want to bring you because we've never actually been on a proper date isn't really a date, though. But, if you wanted to we could go see a movie or something afterwards. But you'd have to wear a suit or something because it's a dinner party thing and I'm not sure if you'd really want to go, but it'd be tons better if you were there."

"I can't believe you doubted the fact that I'd want to go," I said.

"I thought you might be busy with another shrine/cabin interview thing," she said.

"I'd drop that if it meant I could spend the night with you," I said.

"So you're coming, right?" she asked.

"Of course I will," I said.

"That's great! You do have a suit right?" she asked.

"Does a dress shirt, nice pants and dress shoes count?" I asked.

"Uhh," she said.

"I have a tie, and maybe a sports coat, too," I said.

"Sure," she said and kissed me.

"Look, I gotta get going. I've got another Goddess to meet," I said.

"I love you, Jase," she said.

"Love you too, Pipes," I said, kissed her cheek and walked away.

PIPER VI:

"Wait! Jason!" I called.

He spun around and came running back.

"What it is?" he asked.

"Are you sure you have to go?" I asked.

I really missed being able to hang out with him all the time, I just wanted to spend some more time with him.

"I'm sorry Pipes, but I really have to go. She may not do another interview for a while," he told me.

"It's just that I feel like we're slipping apart, and that we don't spend enough time together," I told him.

"I know, Pipes. I know," he said

I waited a few moments, he started to turn around and go to the meeting.

"Would it be totally outrageous if I joined your project?" I asked, his eyes immediately lit up and he smiled.

I don't know where that idea came from, but I figured why not?

"Of course it would, but why?" he asked.

"Well, I think it's an interesting project. Also, I think that it'd be a way to spend more time together. And you'd get the project done in half the time," I said.

"Do you really mean that?" he asked.

"Of course I do, what part of it should I work on?" I asked.

"I think you'd be best at the designing. I haven't really started on it yet, all I've got is a list of things each God and Goddess wants in their cabin or shrine," he said.

"Okay," I said.

"Come on, we better go," he said. "Or else we'll be late."

"Which God is it today?" I asked.

"Goddess, actually," he corrected. "We're meeting up with Iris. She said she's busy every other day besides today with advertising and campaigning for her all organic food, or something like that."

"Well, there's going to be a lot of rainbows on that cabin or shrine," I said.

"Yeah, and I was thinking we could have a little water fountain where you can cast free Iris messages... although it's just a though," he said.

"It's a great idea," I said and kissed him on the cheek.

Jason looked down at his watch.

"Oh shoot, we'll be late if we don't hurry!" he said.

"Okay, lets go," I said and we ran off together.

NICO VII:

I grabbed a pile of blankets from my dorm room, and walked into the forest. I had just left Hazel, who was now leaving to go back to Camp Jupiter. Will told me to meet him in the forest, not exactly sure what for. He just left a note that said 'Meet me in the forest just before sunset and bring blankets - Will'. Surprisingly, I was actually happy for once in my life. I was really surprised when Will told me he was gay. I had been crushing on him for a little bit back then. I got really excited on the inside and almost asked him out on the spot. I didn't though, but somehow I now wish I did. I wouldn't have mattered, though, as he asked me out the next day. I still laugh at that even though it was only two weeks ago. I told him 'I'll think about it' and I ran back to my cabin and had a happy dance. Which was a very strange feeling; I found him an hour later and told him yes, that I'd go out with him. Surprisingly, he's actually pretty romantic. And that was probably the most girly thing I've ever said. We went out to dinner and then for a walk on the beach a few nights ago, then I kissed him for the first time. I'm finally happy with who I am, and it feel awesome, which is weird. As I went a little deeper into the forest, I saw Will sitting on a rock in a clearing of the forest.

"Will?" I asked.

"Nico, you're here," he turned around and said.

"What exactly are we doing here?" I asked.

"Well, I was told here was the best place to gaze at stars," he said.

"Where's the 'but'?" I asked.

"No 'buts' yet," he said.

"That sounds weird," I told him.

"You know what I mean," he replied.

"You do realize we're in New York, right?" I asked him.

"Yeah, so?" he asked.

"New York's pretty polluted, are you sure the stars will be very visible?" I asked.

"Oh, right. Well if we hurry we can see the sunset by the beach and have blankets," he said.

"Okay, come on. Lets go," I said.

He took my hand and we ran as fast as we could to the beach. I don't recommend running in a forest, you're bound to fall over or trip. I tripped several times, but somehow I didn't fall over. We finally made it to the beach and the sun was just about to go down. We found a nice spot and we sat down. He put his arm around me and we 'snuggled' together. The word 'snuggled' kind of sounded too girly. But, it was really the only word that described what we were doing right now. Honestly, this was great. Why didn't I have a crush on Will instead of Percy? Will was so much better than Percy. For starters, he's gay and he actually likes me. He's cuter, smarter (but lets face it, that doesn't take much) and he's so much nicer. Honestly, to me, life was kind of... perfect. I never thought I'd admit that, but it is. We watched the sun slowly go down, and I had to say it was quite nice.

"So..." Will said as soon as the sun was fully down.

"So?" I asked.

"Do you wanna go on another date sometime?" Will asked.

"We're already on a date, why think about the next one?" I asked.

"I don't know, you're kind of hard to please," he said.

"That's true. I don't know, we could visit a graveyard?" I suggested, but I knew that was a terrible idea.

"Now, that's just depressing. Come on, there must be something you like," Will insisted.

"When I was trying to get the Athena Parthenos here, I we stopped in Pompeii and saw Mt. Vesuvius," I said.

"Yeah, because that's really close by," he said sarcastically.

"We could shadow travel there," I suggested.

"You are not shadow traveling around the world again," he warned.

"It wouldn't be so bad this time. It'd just be you and me, no Parthenos and only two people instead of three," I tried.

"No, I'm not letting you do that again," he said.

"Fine, we won't," I agreed.

"Good," he said.

I kissed him. I didn't know what else to say so I just kissed him. I kind of like kissing him, not that I'd ever tell that to anyone. I don't know what he'd had to eat, but whatever it was tasted gross. The weird thing is, that I didn't mind that he tasted bad; I just wanted to kiss him. He pulled away after what seemed like only a few moments.

"We should go, it's getting late. Dinner will probably be served soon," he said.

"Okay, come on, lets go to dinner," I said, grabbed the blankets and stood up. He took my hand and we walked back to the cabin area.

HAZEL IIX:

Frank, Reyna and I were on our way back from Camp Half Blood, to Camp Jupiter. We flew by a carriage drawn by a pegasus, and we were all extremely tired. I don't exactly know why we were all so tired, maybe it's just way more crazy at Camp Half Blood than it is back at Camp Jupiter. It was going to be a while before we got there, it takes about seven hours by pegasus to get there. It's been three hours since we left and Reyna is already asleep. I don't know why we couldn't take Arion instead. He'd be a lot faster than this. But, I guess it had to do with the fact that Frank would get super queasy from the horse. And he definitely couldn't fly all that way. I smiled at Frank, he's almost asleep. He's holding me in his arms and he's got his head back and his mouth open. He looked really cute like that. I should probably go to sleep too. Tomorrow was probably going to be another big day. Although the time that I had just spent at Camp Half Blood was a little crazy, it was really good to see Leo again. I will say that I don't feel as guilty for letting him sacrifice himself for Calypso. Calypso seemed really nice, but she kind of seemed uncomfortable around everyone. I don't really blame her, though. I'd be scared too. I snuggled into Frank and tried to let myself fall asleep. I wanted to dream, but dreams are really bad for demigods. Why couldn't we have normal dreams just about stuff we randomly think about in our sleep? I focused on falling asleep. It was kind of hard, especially in a flying carriage. I kind of noticed that Frank smelled nice for once. Well, I don't think we really had time on our journey to save the world to really take care of ourselves. Had he always smelt like that? Or had he just smelled like that today? Oh gods, I need to sleep. And soon enough I found myself inside another dream. Darn! I dreamt that the camp was totally fine. Everything was going well and nothing was wrong. Well, that's good.

REYNA IX:

I woke up and the carriage was shaking. Something wasn't right. I felt my ears pop. Oh gods, we were losing altitude. I had warned Hazel earlier to remember to give the pegasus water and food when I'm asleep. Obviously she forgot. I looked over at her, she was peacefully snuggling with Frank in her sleep. I rolled my eyes at them. I would have to wake her and Frank up, fast. I quickly shook Hazel awake.

"Huh? What?" she asked, still half asleep.

"You forgot to feed the Pegasus! Now we're falling, they're too tired to go on!" I shouted over the noise on the wind.

Frank didn't even stir.

"Oh no! I did? I thought I did, I'm so sorry," she apologised.

"Just wake up Frank, we'll have to get him to turn into a dragon or something for the rest of the flight," I said.

"How long do we have to go?" she asked.

"About an hour, can he do it for that long?" I asked.

"Yeah, he can!" she said and started to try and shake Frank awake. He still didn't stir.

"Try pinching him, punching him or something," I suggested.

"No! I'm not going to hit him," she said.

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Fine then I'll do it," I said.

I gave a real hard punch. This time he woke up.

"Oww! What was that for— oh gods! We're falling! What did I do?" he panicked.

"You didn't do anything, Hazel forgot to feed the horses. We need you to turn into a dragon, can you do that in mid-air?" I asked.

"Yeah, just hold on a sec," he said.

"You'll also need to be able to hold a Pegasus," I told him.

He rolled his eyes and then jumped out of the carriage into the air. Hazel squealed a little, obviously hoping he didn't get hurt. He came back up moments later as a fully sized dragon. He grabbed the pegasus and held onto it with his feet. He leveled his body with the carriage so Hazel and I could get on. Hazel got on first, and then me second.

"Good job Frank, you're doing great!" Hazel said.

I don't think Frank could reply was he was in dragon form. Hazel fell asleep again, but I knew it was my duty to navigate Frank and make sure he didn't fall asleep like our pegasus did. In fact the pegasus was asleep while being held by his feet. That must be one tired pegasus.

FRANK X:

Being a dragon kind of sucked. Although, at least it was only for an hour and not seven hours. Soon enough I could see the service tunnel that lead to Camp Jupiter. Finally, home at last... well almost. I still couldn't believe that Leo was alive. And I felt less guilty about it now, Hazel said she did too. It was good having him back in general. I couldn't wait to get back home and sleep. I'm starting to get really tired, and being a dragon just made it all worse. I swooped down into the tunnel. I put down the pegasus and Reyna woke up Hazel and they both got off. I turned back into regular me. The night patrol opened the gates for us and we then went across the river and I now had almost fallen asleep. I walked into my cabin and flopped on the bed. I didn't even bother putting on different clothes I just flopped down. I didn't dream at all. And it was nice not dreaming, compared to when I was on the Argo II. I had so many dreams. I woke up to next morning to the bell for breakfast. I heard my stomach grumble. I'm pretty sure that today we were going to announce what events we were going to host and attend with Camp Half Blood. Chiron had come up with this great idea of us all playing capture the flag, annually once every year. We (Reyna, Chiron and I) decided that whoever won the coin toss would play in their own camp. Then whoever won would play in their own camp the next year and so on. I was honestly quite excited about the two camps bonding.

Okay, so that's my second chapter done! (well it's not really a chapter, but whatever) This took me for freaking ever! I worked on it all day and don't get me wrong, it was fun but after a while I kind of ran out of ideas to write about. I'm sorry that Hazel's, Reyna's and Frank's chapter was so short, I would've like it longer but I wanted to finish it by 11pm (my time) and not have to do it the next day, so that I could work on the next chapter. I think that the reason Frank was so tired was because I really wanted to go sleep at that time and then post it in the morning or something. Also I was thinking about things the Rick Riordan should've done in Blood of Olympus, and he should've added chapters for Frank, Hazel, Percy and Annabeth. And I get why not to give Percy and Annabeth their own chapters (they had sooooooo many chapters in House of Hades) but at least give Frank and Hazel a turn. Geez! Anyway, hope you enjoyed this and I'll get the '10 months later' thing out soon (hopefully).
