Author Note: Buenos Dias people of the internet. Just wanted to quickly sat thank you for reading my story. It means so much, to know that something you made is being read.

Now before i start the story, I would like to respect a death from book 2 of the HOO series: The Son of Neptune.

R.I.P: Percy Jackson's pillow pet. 2012-2012... Why Octavion... Why?!

*sniff, wipes away tear* With that, i give you: chapter 3 of the long road home.

I swear we might as well be falling into Tartaraus. It felt like we were falling for miles until the Leotron 5000 kicked in. The sun was just settling over the horizon. Leo wondered if Apollo could see him from up here. Leo just enjoyed the peacefulness of flying through the clouds until Calypso broke his thoughts. "It's kind of nice up here. No worrying about saving the world, just you, me, and a 1 ton giant metal dragon. "Well actually he's 1.2 t..." Calypso cut him off. She pulled him into a nice long kiss. She still smelled like cinnamon. Even after like 3 days without showering. "That didn't happen." Calypso said, and she smiled.

Pro's and Con's about leotron 5000's:

pro: they find land (conveniently America.)

Con: apparently they only have enough power for a one day flight.

Leo frantically started pulling wires, springs, and miscellaneous pieces of scrap metal out of his tool belt. He was trying to re-create the device he made to land on Ogygia. Since he knew what he was doing, he made it in about one minute. The hard part was trying to steer it.

He felt like trying to tame a bull in a rodeo. When he turned right, the machine swerved down. So of course, Leo crashed landed, yet again. Thankfully no one was hurt, and it looks like no mortals were around.

"Welcome to the real world" Leo said as they walked into town. Leo acted like a tour guide showing Calypso smart-phones, chicken nuggets (yes, she was as excited as Hazel was), he even showed her a movie. "Wow... there's so many things that Ogygia doesn't have here. There's so many people. One day, I want to see the whole world." Calypso eagerly said.

"Well before we do that; let's figure out where we are." "excuse me sir, what city is this?" The guy looked at Leo like he just grew a third arm. "Obviously Los Angeles." The man said. "Yeah baby!" Leo enthusiastically said punching his fist in the air. "what's so good about Los Angeles" Calypso asked. "It just so happens to be the exact location of Camp Jupiter."

hours later...

"stupid mist! Aren't demi-gods supposed to see through it?!" Leo yelled at the sky. A few mortals were staring at him probably thinking he was ka-ray-zee. Calypso turned around to pretend she didn't know him. (she wasn't used to being embarrassed.) What she saw made her jaw drop.

"um... Leo." Calypso said trying not to laugh.

"What! can't you see i'm busy yelling at the sky."

Leo turned around. He felt like he wanted to pinch himself. Standing across the intersection were two guards in roman armor.

"We were looking the wrong direction!" *face palm* They walked towards the legionaries. Of course when they got to the gate, they tried to kill Leo. "Woah there buddy. Don't worry it's Leo Valdez here, Bad boy supreme. It's not really a big deal or anything, but i kind of saved the world." Leo said trying to act like a macho nacho. after all, he can't let his fans down.
