Yay! Day 4 already! Thanks to all that read this! I'm glad you like it! I'm trying out a slightly different writing style with this one, so just hang in there with me.

Chapter 4: Caleo

Calypso was mad. No, not just mad, but extremely pissed. And what, you may ask, was she mad about? Two words: Leo Valdez.

Now, dear readers, you are probably asking what the wonderful Mr. Hot Stuff did to offend his girlfriend. It's actually more like what he didn't do.

You see, ever since Leo had brought home his beautiful girl, he was more concentrated on his machinery, and Calypso wished he would tell her why. Everyday, Leo would travel down to Bunker 9, come back to dinner, swallow food faster than even Percy, and retreat back down with his machines. Nobody knew if he even slept, as nobody ever saw him come out at night. Poor Calypso resorted to spending her time with Annabeth and Piper, who were nice, but she would have preferred not to be with her old love's current girlfriend.

It got to the point, you understand, where Calypso had enough. Being the peaceful person that she was, it took her longer to snap than most people, but Leo had a way of doing that.

On a shining Thursday morning, Calypso made her move. Finding Bunker 9 wasn't the hard part, but getting in was. She managed to sweet talk one of Leo's siblings into letting her down. The more she traveled into the lair, the angrier she got.

"Two weeks," She muttered under her breath. "Two weeks, he hasn't paid attention to me in two weeks!"

You can imagine the look of surprise on Leo's face when the love of his life came bursting through the door of his "top secret lab."

"What…how did you….why are you…" He stuttered, before throwing a cloth over the thing he was working on. Calypso glared at him, an unusual look on her sweet face.

"Leo Valdez, you have been down in this lab for 14 days, and you haven't talked to me at all! Do you really even want me here, or am I just some prize to show your friends?"

Now, you know how sassy Leo can be, but he looked down, ashamed with himself. "You are not just a trophy Calypso, I truly do love you, its just, Valentines Day is coming up." Calypso looked truly confused at that one.

"Wait, excuse me, but what does that have to do with anything?" Leo came closer until he was practically breathing down her neck, and Calypso shivered despite her resolve to not back down. (Don't blame her, readers, you know you would have too. All the ladies looovve Leo.)

"Well, you see, I'm making you a surprise, and that's what's under the curtain," Calypso closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Leo Valdez. She was surprised when the warmth left her, and the door was slammed in her face.

"That little lovable trickster," Calypso said, trying and failing to be angry as she walked out of Bunker 9. A lovesick grin kept creeping up on her face. Leo was making her making her a special gift! Wouldn't you be happy if your boyfriend made you a gift? Calypso was almost skipping by the time she reached sunlight, where Piper was waiting for her.

"What happened?" Piper asked, a look of amused concern on her face. The happy maiden smiled dreamily.

"Leo, Leo Valdez."


Well, sorry I couldn't update fast tonight, had sooooo much homework. Let me know in the reviews if you like this writing style or want me to stick with the old one I used. I will probably use the old one for tomorrows fic. As always, thanks for following/favoriting/reviewing! I will take any suggestions! (Especially for Chris/Clarisse)

Tomorrow: Tratie
