A/N: I am so sorry for the wait. Is it just me, or does it sometimes feel like your homework is just trying to eat you alive? *Silence* Just me, oh... anyway, I hope you enjoy, please review, and if you have any questions, just ask.

CALYPSO

Oh I hope she doesn't hate me. I mean, she has every right to, but still… I didn't even know that the curse would even take effect. But it did. And that's no excuse for making it. It hurt her. I can see it in her eyes when she looks at me. But what can I say to her? I didn't mean it? No. It was an accident? No. I did mean it. I did it on purpose. I was bitter. Angry, at everyone and everything. But I'm better now, and I'm so sorry. Yes.

Calypso jolted forward slightly as the van stopped in front of what was apparently "Penn Station". Leo got out his side of the van and raced around to open her door.

"Your carriage awaits, m'lady." He said with a bow.

She smiled. Leo. Leo was the bright spot in her life. The one that fixed her. The one that cared. The one that came back. He led her into the station. Almost everything around her was confusing, but she didn't say anything. She would learn it all in time. She had eternity to do it.

They got on a train headed for San Francisco. She took a seat next to Leo. He took out two rectangular plastic things. One was labeled "STOLL'S PORTABLE DVD PLAYER- DO NOT TOUCH" another was labeled "STOLL'S COPY OF THE LOVELY BONES- DO NOT TOUCH". He smiled at her and took a metal disc out of one of the rectangles, and put it in the other rectangle. It lit up, and pictures formed on it. She thought this was one of the "movies" he mentioned earlier. They sat and watched it as the windows grew dark.

Leo was asleep. Calypso had tried to sleep, but her mind just kept going. She twisted her neck to look at Leo's watch. 11:30-ish. She got up quietly, and walked forward to where Percy and Annabeth were sitting. They were playing a fast-pace card game. Annabeth was sitting by the window, so she saw Calypso when she looked up. Calypso took a deep breath. Percy turned around.

"Hey Percy, can I talk to," Annabeth moved as if she was about to get up, "Annabeth for a second. Privately." Percy looked confused for a second, but then nodded vigorously and walked off towards the food car. Calypso sat next to Annabeth.

"Okay," she began, "we need to talk." Annabeth swallowed.

"What about?"

"Everything. But, mainly, I'm sorry. For that curse. You don't have to say anything, but I know it hurt you. A little while after Percy left my island, I was in a really bad place. He promised that he would make the gods let me leave, and then, well, a whole lot of nothing happened. I felt betrayed, that he never cared about me at all, and that that if you were gone, somehow that would make him come back to me. I realized what I had done, really only after cast it. I hadn't meant it to be so bad, I certainly didn't know you would find yourself in Tartarus, but that is still no excuse. But the point is, I regret doing that with every fiber of my being. Can you forgive me?"

Annabeth seemed shocked, but looked Calypso square in the eyes. After a pause, she came out with, "Yes. You seem honest." Calypso smiled got up, and went back to sleep.

Her thoughts calmed down, and she was able to sleep peacefully.

A/N: Thank you for making it this far in the text. Oh, a minor request: what boy's names do you like. You'll see why I need to know later.
