Hey everyone! I am so sorry for the long wait! I just am juggling so many stories with school and homework and everything else, blah blah blah.

I just finished reading the Blood of Olympus! It was so good! Also, in this story, the Seven never knew that Leo met Calypso, even though they do in the BoO.

Disclaimer: If I did own the HOO, then whoever died in the BoO wouldn't have died! Except for maybe one person, who I won't spoil for you, because I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE SATISFACTION OF FINDING OUT THAT HE IS DEAD! TAKE THAT, STUPID CHARACTER THAT NOBODY LIKES!

AWESOME POV CHANGE!

Annabeth

I was the first one to spot Leo.

When my stormy grey eyes met his brown ones, I instantly froze. He had changed a lot since the last time I saw him. His hair was curlier, he was taller, and he had muscles. This came as a shock to me, for I had always known Leo to be extremely scrawny. But he had the same eyes, the same energy, and the same smile. Those qualities combined with his new ones made him look, well, handsome. No wonder Leo managed to get a girlfriend.

Speaking of which, there was a girl a little shorter than Leo standing next to him, clutching his hand. She had long, cinnamon brown hair that fell down to her waist, framing her face. Her skin was also tanned, but it was a lighter shade than Leo, like creamy coffee. Her almond shaped eyes showed anxiety.

Slowly, Leo raised a hand up in greeting. I couldn't stand it anymore.

I ran over to him as fast as I could (which was pretty fast). Leo looked like he was expecting me to grow fangs and bite his head off, but what I did shocked him even more. I hugged him as tightly as I could.

"Leo!"

Another body slammed into us: Piper. I broke away from Leo to give them some time. Hazel soon ran over and hugged Leo tightly. She was crying, and I was surprised to see that Leo's face was streaked with tears. I have never seen Leo cry.

Jason was the first boy to come over. He immediately embraced Leo, who hugged him back tighter. Percy gave Leo a hug too, and patted him on the back. Frank, however, immediately wrapped the Latino in a big bear hug. I fought back a laugh as Leo's feet left the floor when Frank picked him up.

"Cant... breathe," Leo managed to gasp.

Frank quickly released Leo.

That was when Piper went into overly-protective-big-sister mode.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" she yelled, attracting many stares. Piper ignored them.

"WE HAVE SEARCHED FOR YOU FOR YEARS! YEARS! AND YOU NEVER CAME BACK!"

"Piper, calm down," said Jason. Unfortunately, he didn't have the power of charmspeak.

"YOU DIDN'T EVEN LEAVE US A NOTE OR SOMETHING! YOU NEVER WROTE TO US! NO IRIS MESSAGES!"

"Um, Piper?" interjected Frank, "People are starting to stare."

"I DON'T CARE IF THEY ARE STARING! LET THEM STARE! ALL I CARE ABOUT IS THIS BIG BUFFOON RIGHT HERE!"

"Piper," I said, "Let it go. What matters is that he is here-"

"IDIOT! BIG PIECE OF HELLHOUND DUNG!"

Piper kept insulting Leo, using quite a few terms that threatened to make Hazel faint. Leo just watched Piper awkwardly, looking more and more guilty. The girl with the almond eyes stood a few feet away, looking quite glad that she wasn't part of the conversation.

Finally, Leo cut Piper off.

"Good to see you too, Beauty Queen."

Piper looked stunned for a moment, and then she embraced Leo once again, sobbing into his shoulder. Leo rubbed her back. Jason suddenly spoke up.

"Listen, Leo. About the bet..."

Jason looked even guiltier than Leo. He smiled sheepishly, and then reached into his pocket. He pulled out a small pouch that jingled with coins.

"You earned it."

Leo smiled, and then reached out for the coins. But instead of taking the pouch, he closed Jason's hand over the money.

"Keep it. I have no need for it."

Jason looked stunned. Then, Leo remembered the girl.

"Oh! I am being rude. Everyone, I would like you to meet someone."

The girl obviously was okay with being not noticed. She turned away, not meeting our eyes.

"Everyone, meet-"

"Calypso?"

It had been Percy who had spoken up. The girl's cheeks turned pink, and Leo was no longer smiling.

"Calypso? Like, the Calypso?" I asked.

Percy looked like he was searching for the right words to say. But what are the right words to say to someone who fell in love with you but you rejected them for someone else? And in this case, I was that someone else.

"Yes," the girl said, startling everyone including Leo, "I am the Calypso. Long time no see, Percy."

That made Percy feel worse. He opened his mouth to say something else, but Leo glared at him. Leo almost always smiles, and when he does glare, it is terrifying. I didn't blame Percy for retreating several steps.

"Uh, hi. I'm Piper," said Piper, awkwardly holding out her hand.

Calypso looked relieved. She smiled shyly and held out her own hand, shaking Piper's.

"So you are Piper? Leo has told me a lot about you."

"Really? Like what?"

"Well, like you are a daughter of Aphrodite, you can do charmspeak, and mainly your appearance. He also told me that you were like a sister to him, and how much he cared about you."

Piper looked at Leo, and she looked like she was about to start crying again.

"How long have you and Leo known each other?" asked Frank, catching on to Piper's idea of friendly conversation.

"Well, about five years, I believe."

"How do you each know each other, anyway?" I asked.

Instead of answering my question, Calypso turned away, like I was the President of the United States and she didn't feel like she had the honor of looking at me.

"So, you and Leo have been together for five years, huh?" said Jason.

"Yup," said Calypso cheerfully, "We share a house in Houstan, Texas."

"What do you do for a living?" asked Hazel.

"Well, most of the time, we own a machine shop, but sometimes I perform at concerts."

"Concerts?" said Piper, her eyes widening, "Are you like this big-time artist?"

Calypso shrugged, "I guess so."

"She being modest," piped in Leo, "She is everywhere! She had toured about every single country in the world! You should hear her sing!"

Calypso blushed, but looked pleased with herself.

"So, where are we going? I'm hungry!" said Frank.

Calypso's smile changed. All of her shyness was gone. Instead, there was a glint of mischief in the way her mouth curved and in her eyes.

"You'll see."

Leo's smile widened.
