{ Piper P.O.V }
Ok, I was already pretty upset about the Jason almost killing Leo subject, but I decided to let the matter drop.
There were more important problems to worry about. Festus is a girl? That made me feel guilty. I was sitting on this thing for months. He or She, whichever it is died, got made a head of a ship, came back, went to save the world again, and died again. Then again we have to add another "came back" to the list.
"Festus?" I gawked. She blinked.
"Actually call me Festia!" She gleamed. Man this lady is sure hyper.
"Um, I'm-" Before I could finish she cut me off.
"Yah I know, your Piper, your Percy, your Annabeth, and Nico" She said pointing at us. "Where's Leo" She blushed.
"So, you have no complaints about us?" Percy asked. I shook my head in disgust. I thought Annabeth was joking about "Seaweed Brain" but it seems like there's actually seaweed in his head.
"Oh, I have a lot of complaints about you" Festia grunted. "But, for everyones ears sake, lets not"
"So, are you able to walk, and adjust?" Annabeth tried reaching for the remote that wasn't there. This robot seemed to have no screws no metal, it looked so real.
"Well," She took a few steps. "Yup, I'm fine!"
I was straining myself from rolling my eyes. This girl is so giddy. How could she be Festus? Well, Nico and Percy was still gawking at her, and Annabeth grimaced.
"How, in the world". Nico said. "Bianca?"
I've heard of that name from Hazel. "Um, her names Festia".
"That looks a lot like Luke in a way, like his long lost sister" Percy noticed. "Also like Ethan, but how?".
Festia looked at us as if we were a bunch of clowns trying to figure out whether a dog could talk or not.
"So, when can I see Leo?" Again, when she said his name she blushed. She obviously knows Calypso, but honestly, I see this conversation getting somewhere.
"He has a girlfriend" I brought up.
"Of course I know that!" I could almost swear she was growling. "Anyways, do you guys have some fresh clothes,?" She stared at all of the armor, one more word and I would mistaken this girl as an Aphrodite girl.
On the corner of my eye, I saw Percy slapping Nico out of his trance.
"Leo's in coma" Annabeth said. She hasn't said anything for a while. "He's in the infirmary right now with Jason and Will". I wondered why she was being so precise. She was still in that experiment tone.
"Got it!" She blurted. I can't believe there wasn't even a light, or a bling, signaling that she processed that much information.
"How in this world do you know who Will is?" I scolded. I said Will, but I entirely meant Jason.
"Uh, first of all I know everybody" Ok, I was really stating to sense to conflict building. "Second, Jason was on my back for an entire like week two so" Again with the blushing, is this girl an ultimate boyfriend stealer!"
I must have been pouting really hard, because she said,
"Careful, keep doing that or you'll get wrinkles!" She said in a sing song voice. I noticed Annabeth turned unreasonably quiet. She was flipping through her book bag. Percy was still shaking Nico. In any kind of way, this was the worst welcoming ever.
"Anyways, I'm going to find Leo" She squealed and skipped away. Okay, let me get this straight. First she learns how to walk in two seconds. Now she learns how to skip in ten.
I glanced at annabeth for moral support, but her face was double pale. She had a rusty book in her hands.
"Remember how I said she was a robot?" She stammered. This was weird of her. "Well, the more she develops a personality, she becomes alive, a real demigod or something, and for some reason, Festia still has the powers of a robot".
"So what are you saying?" I asked.
"I'm saying that if Festia causes trouble, it will be really hard to stop her".
