A/N

Welp here's chapter two, I had fun writing this chapter I wanted it to kind of be more humorous then the last, this chapter is basically to meet some of the old characters and get those 'feels' rolling, enjoy.

Leo

"Leo where are we?" Calypso said.

Leo was in to much shock along with everyone around him to answer so Festus answered, "We are at Camp Halfblood."

"Camp... Camp Halfblood how'd we get here?" she replied

Leo recovering from his shock said, "Well I'm not to sure but this freaking rocks."
"Leo... Leo your alive." Piper was crying, maybe that's understatement but still, she ran at him embracing him with a hug like no other.

"Of course I am I told you I had a plan." he said a little to enthusiastically, "Besides I'm Leo Mcshizzle what would stop me."

Piper was still bawling but began to hit him, "Shut up idiot, this isn't the time for jokes. Why didn't you come back sooner? Where were you this whole time, and why'd you show up like this?"

"Whoa, whoa." Calypso cut in, "The only one who wails on him is me. Besides it was more complicated then being able to just come back. Leo cheated death, even if he did save everyone and every God and Goddess, it does not come without consequence. I st-" Calypso stopped looking as though she said something wrong.

Piper confused asked, "What's that mean?"

"Who cares Leo Valdez is back baby!" Leo said ending all thought on the subject.

"I'm glad you're not dead Valdez but I almost impaled you with my spear, next time you come back from the dead send a warning; wouldn't want you to die as soon as you got back." Clarisse said.

"I came back from the dead, and killed Gaia, freaking Gaia, you think that you can kill me?" Leo retorted.

Clarisse pointed her spear at Leo's chest, "Want to find out Valdez?"

"Clarisse we just got him back lets not kill him yet." Someone was pushing through the crowd.

Clarisse laughed and lowered her spear, "Maybe your right, you got lucky this time Valdez..." at that she turned and walked away, no sooner then when she had disappeared though the crowd two more appeared.

"Okay that's enough, that's enough go back to whatever it is you were doing." It was Will Solace, one of the two figures to appear from the crowd.

At first everybody just stood around then the second figure Nico said, "You heard him, get back to whatever the hell you were doing." at that everyone started to scatter, mumbling, and taking one last glance, before going on with their day. The only people still standing there was himself, Calypso, Festus, Piper, Will, and Nico. "You sure no how to make a scene, next time you decide to come come back from the dead let's not pop up in a giant metal house."

Leo looked shocked, "Hey it's not like I done this, if I had done it there would've been fires, explosions, lights, a stage, and a band, and oh oh a-"

Piper cut in laughing, "Okay, we get it your version would have been much more spectacular. So I guess words already around camp." she said turning toward Will and Nico.

Will smiling said, "Well everyone knows that a gigantic metal house appeared but not everybody knows what, well who, was in it." At this point Leo was looking around the camp taking in some of the new scenery he noticed that there was more cabins and shrines. To who he had no idea, all that mattered was that Jason was fulfilling his promise.

"And it's a good thing, things around here are kind of crazy right now." Nico said, "If they found out that Leo was back then it would turn to chaos." Nico seemed less 'look at me wrong and I'll send you to the underworld' but he still made Leo's skin crawl.

"Nico's right, come on we should take you to see Chiron." Piper said.

"Um just a moment please." Calypso finally talking again.

"What? Also who are you, and you." Will said pointing at Calypso and Festus.

Calypso making a humph noise and crossing her arms, "You don't know who I am, well I'm Calypso."

"And I'm Festus." He said in that way a child does when he's meeting someone new.

Piper looked shocked but said, "Festus, as in the dragon!"

"Uh yeah, long story short it was a gift from my dad. And it happened like right before we got here, so I'm still kind of in shock about it too." Leo replied.

Before Festus had a chance to even think she had her arms wrapped around him, Leo could see Festus smiling and Leo was happy because if he loved anyone as much as he did Leo it was Piper. Piper not only had been with Festus just as long as Leo had, but she had also woken him up permanently, when he they journeyed together to defeat Gaia, while Festus the Dragon was The Argo II. "I can't believe that you're human this, this is great." Piper was holding back tears.

"I hate to break up this hug fest but we should really go see Chiron." Nico said.

"Yeah he's right." Will chimed in, "Come on we'll take you there."

Calypso taking Leo's arm said, "Looks like it can't be avoided lets go Leo." They all turned walking toward the Big House, Will and Nico leading the way.

As they got about halfway there Nico and Will started hold hands. "Am I crazy or am I seeing this." Leo said.

"Yes and yes, isn't just adorable Will asked Nico out last week and now there officially dating, like when it happened I was so excited. I've been hinting for Will to ask him out for like the past year." Piper said.

Leo obviously stunned said, "Wait they're gay?"

"Well it seems that way metal-head." Calypso said, "Besides it's kind of cute, a son of Apollo, and a son of Hades, it's sort of like Yin and Yang."

"That's such a cute comparison!" Piper said.

"You seem awfully excited Piper." Leo replied.

Piper looked hurt then laughed, "Hey if you think I'm bad then you should see Jason..." After she said his name she looked sad, then Leo had remembered that he hadn't seen Jason yet. Piper must of noticed his sudden excitement because she said, "Jason isn't here right now he's at New Rome right now dealing with a few things."

As soon as she had finished her sentence they arrived at the big house and Leo said, "Well no point in thinking about it now I've got some major explaining to do."

Piper smiled, "You got that right!" then kissed his cheek.

"I know your just friends but if you could refrain from the kisses it would be nice." Calypso added.

Piper seemed confused for a second, "Sure will do."

Will walked out, "Chiron's ready when you guys are." They all headed inside and waiting there was Chiron and Nico.

"Leo, so you're still alive and with two other as well... when your ready then." he said while gesturing toward some chairs around the ping pong table. Leo along with all the others sat around the table. Once seated around the ping pong table Leo began his story starting with the beginning of his day leading up to when they appeared at Camp Halfblood leaving out the, uh, dirtier parts. When he was finished Calypso looked un-shocked, Festus looked like he hadn't heard the story even though he was there, Piper looked shocked, Nico looked well the same, Will was just smiling, and Chiron looked as though he was about to tell someone their parents were dead.

"This is quite unsettling, Calypso if you wouldn't mind I would like to speak with you in the other room." Chiron said.

"Of course." She replied like she already new what the conversation was going to be about.

It was quite after they left until Piper chimed, "Well that's quite the story Leo even for you."

"Well it's true," Leo replied getting up and heading toward the door, "so I ready to see all this new stuff in camp."

As Leo was about to head out the door he ran into someone, "Hey watch where you're going du-."

Leo laughed and looked up, "Jackson," Leo said at the same time Percy said, "Valdez!" Percy Jackson probably like the biggest thing since Hercules, not like he would ever tell him that though.

"Wait aren't you dead." Percy said.

"Well thanks for the hugs and tears man." Leo replied.

Piper laughed, "Hey it's not his fault you ran right into him."

"Just as clumsy as ever." Nico said.

"I've been back five minutes and you guys are already picking on me." Leo whined. They all laughed, and Leo thought that things were just like old times.

Still slightly laughing Percy said, "So where's Chiron?"

"I think he's busy at the moment." Will said.

"Meaning that he's talking to someone else at the moment." Nico added.

"Well that's fine it's nothing important, anyway who's this?" Percy said pointing at Festus.

Piper answered as casually as she could, "Oh that's Festus, or The Argo II, but you know human."

"Like for real." Percy said looking totally awed.

"For real dude." Leo replied.

"That's awesome." Percy said poking Festus.

"So do you want to look around or not?" Will said.

"Oh yeah, I forgot," Leo said scratching his head, " could someone show me around." he felt like a new camper all over again.

Piper face saddened, "Oh I wish I could but I'm pretty busy, in fact I really should be going I've already spent enough time away," she turned around and ran off waving back and yelling "I better see you later!" before we were out of ear shot.

"I can't show you around either, me and Annabeth are meeting my mom." Percy said it, then left.

"We can show you around with the infirmary empty there's really nothing for me to do, and as long as nobody's died recently he's free." Will said shoving a thumb at Nico.

"Hey don't just go throwing me into stuff cause you want too." Nico growled, "I actually have a date with my sister."

"She's in New Rome." Will said.

Nico sighed, "I'm calling her through Isis, I would love to show Valdez around with you but I haven't got to talk to Hazel in a few weeks so have fun you two." at that Nico walked of towards the Hades cabin, and it was just him, Festus, and Will.

Will sighed and turned toward Leo, "I don't understand him sometimes."

"Sometimes those closest to you are the hardest to understand, right?" Festus replied.

Leo decided to say something too, "Hey don't worry about it. Nico wouldn't have said yes when you asked him out if he didn't like you. Actually you would probably be in the Underworld if he didn't."

Will laughed, Leo didn't know Will very good but he was glad he made him feel better, "You're probably right. Well then to start off our tour I think we should start with the first shrine that was put up."

Leo held out his hands in a stop motion, "Dude, I don't want all the names and stuff I just want a sort of lay out of the place I can find out the rest myself."

"Oh okay then," he cleared his throat, "Well then all you need to know is everything is in the same place, except there are now a hella ton of shrines behind the cabins now."

"Really that's all?" Leo said.

"Yep that's all now then," Will said while turning toward Festus, "you need a full examination to make sure everything is working properly since your transition from metal dragon, to fleshy human." he grabbed Festus's hand and started to drag him toward the infirmary. Festus hated check ups as a metal dragon so Leo could only imagine what he would feel as a human.

"Leo help me!" Festus cried.

"It's for the best!" Leo called back while waving.

Now by himself Leo took in the Camp from the Big House, looking from the water to Thalia's Tree, just taking in everything that he had missed. Everything and everyone he had been gone from for so long. If even for a moment he forgot the words his dad had told him, 'I'm giving you the chance to change things." what did he mean? Did he not want Leo and Calypso together anymore, or was it something else? Gods why were the Gods so confusing?

"You should go see everything you've been away from so long." It was Calypso.

"She is right I'm sure they're are many that would like to see you." Chiron added.

Leo turned to look at them, "So what did you talk about?"

Calypso sighed, "If we could tell you we would have let you come in the other room."

"Well put, now go I'm sure there is much you wish to see again, and Calypso and I are not yet done talking." Chiron said.

Leo was kind of hurt but said, "Of course not, I'm kind of glad you guys aren't done yet I want to visit all my old pals in the Hephaestus cabin." After saying that Leo turned and ran off toward his old cabin wondering what Calypso and Chiron were talking about, and why they couldn't tell him.

A/N

So I just thought I should point out the fact that I kind of fangirled (or fanboyed in my case) when I was writing the Soleangelo part, and then again when I wrote the part where Percy says, "Sorry I can't either me and Annabeth are going to see my mom." Like ah they are just so, just so great. And also I just wanted to say, encase you were wondering, there will be little scenes like those two through out the story. Nothing big probably just a sentence or two but still I just think it needs to be said, well wrote.
