Wow, so many followers for this story already! Thanks so much! :)

UTAH, APPARENTLY. The town was tiny according to modern-day standards, but for Calypso it seemed big. There was a place Leo called a gas station, another building he pointed out as a post office, and about six or seven other structures. Leo lead Calypso into a place that sold food.

The differentness of it made Calypso blink. All the bright colors and strange smells and the things people even considered edible...

Leo went around grabbing things off the shelves. Calypso followed him, and he handed her stuff when his hands got too full. She looked at it skeptically.

"You'll love it, I promise." Leo winked.

Just then, Calpyso heard noises, like engines, coming from outside. At the same moment she heard them, Leo turned towards the door, craning his neck to see. Calypso followed his gaze.

A bunch of black vehicles were parking outside the store. People started getting out. Leo gasped and dropped one of the bags of the cheese puffs he had decided were a good Fonzie substitute.

Calypso bent and picked it up. "What is it?"

Leo pointed at the cars. "I know those people," he said.

He rushed to the counter and dumped his share of the snacks on the counter, and motioned for Calypso to do the same. She did. The man behind the counter looked startled, but he took Leo's money and checked them out.

Leo grabbed the bag, and Calypso's hand. "C'mon! Let's go meet my friends!"

But at the same moment the bell by the door rang, and a girl ran through the door.

"Leo!" she cried. She barreled towards him and in a second had her arms wrapped tight around him. "Oh my gods, you're alive!" She sobbed into Leo's shirt. Leo dropped the bag and Calypso's hand and returned the girl's hug.

She was small, with a mass of brown curls. She wore a purple shirt and black pants. For a moment, Calypso was seized with a horrible doubt. She remembered Odysseus and Penelope, Drake and Elizabeth, Percy and Annabeth.

Who was this girl to Leo? Had he been keeping secrets from her?

But then, a tall, muscular young man with black hair and a purple shirt walked in. "Hazel, what—LEO!"

The guy ran towards them and enveloped Leo and the small, curly-haired girl in a massive bear hug. Calypso stood back, a little startled. These were Leo's friends from the Argo II, of course. But she wasn't sure how to act around them.

Finally the group hug broke, and Leo said to Calypso, "These are my friends Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang. Guys, this is Calypso." He spoke her name with such pride and triumph it made Calypso feel warm inside.

"Calypso!" Hazel exclaimed. She stepped forward and gave her a hug. "I drew a portrait of you!"

"What?"

Hazel laughed, pulling back. "For Leo. He put it on the wall of his cabin on the Argo, next to his childhood drawing of the ship."

The warmth inside Calypso intensified. "How sweet," she said. "I'm happy to meet you."

"Me too. I can't believe Leo found his way back. I mean, of course I can, because you're here, and Leo is a genius, but everything was so..." Hazel's luminous golden eyes were already teary, but she started crying even more. Frank stepped to her side and took her hand. "We thought you were dead!" Hazel sobbed, wiping her eyes. "I felt it!"

Leo stared at Hazel. "You felt me die?"

Hazel nodded. "Nico did too. But...there was something different about it."

"That's because I came back," Leo replied.

"But how?" Frank asked.

"Magic," Leo winked. "No, really, I installed a special injector into Festus. He gave me the cure to death in a shot. Pretty much right after I came back to life, I discovered Festus had found the way to Ogygia. Boy, was I happy!" He grinned at Calypso.

She smiled back. "It was amazing."

"Oh, yes," Hazel agreed. "I want to hear the whole story." She sniffled and leaned into Frank, and Calypso realized that of course, they were a couple.

"Maybe we should go outside," Frank suggested. He glanced over at the man behind the counter, and Calypso followed his gaze. The poor man looked like he was about to faint.

"Good idea," Leo said. He picked up his bag and took Calypso's hand again. "Come on."
