A/N: For those of you who saw what was up earlier, I'm sorry I have no idea what that was. I had this all typed out but obviously you couldn't read it and I'm really sorry for the confusion. I think that it was messed up in docs manager, so I'm just posting this chapter "raw" with no italics or bold writing so sorry if it seems not as neat, I will fix it and update it as soon as I get it figured out. Bu I figured that I owed it to you. I'm really sorry for the long author's note too. And thanks trod the reviews "Huh?" and "?" haha, they helped me see that something was not right. So here was what I posted:

Disclaimer: If only I could save these two from the horrible twists Rick (probably) has planned for them, but alas, they belong to him.
Leo Valdez,
I do hope that this letter reaches you. I doubt that the gods care that much, but perhaps they have given me a bit more attention.
Ogygia it, well, it's been nice. Your crater is still here though and it ruins the scenery. I do wish that you hadn't broken my table. I can no longer eat at my beach with the luxury of a table.
I have been working on a new one though. It keeps me occupied. After hundreds of years, gardening can get a bit repetitive. But I still make my stew.
My new clothes have been suiting me well, thank you for that.
Again, I cannot be sure if this will reach you, I can only pray to the gods. But I received your letter Leo. . And my fountain has stopped working again. I need a mechanic.

Leo almost dropped the letter.
"No way," he thought.
But his mind told him, "Yes way."
Because there it was, in writing.
She got his letter.
Holy Hephaestus she got his letter!
And now, now he had her letter!
The faintest scent of cinnamon drifted through the air as he held the paper and happy grin crept onto his face, no matter how much he tried to stop it.
He read the letter over again.
He saw the scribbled out parts an wondered what was there. She hadn't mentioned her feelings much, her letter seemed more like that to a friend.
But then again, Leo thought, she hadn't known for sure if it would get to him. And last time he'd seen her, she'd denied her feelings, even though they both knew what they were. And he assumed she hadn't written a letter in years.
The part about his crater made him grin, thinking about her Miss Sunshine persona.
He also smile when he reread the part about her making a new table. He liked kind of leaving his "vibe" there of making and fixing things. He loved that she was still doing it.
The part where she said she needed a mechanic though, that part got to him. The line, even if not exactly the most heartfelt thing to say on the surface, had a deeper meaning.
A mechanic.
Leo
"She means me," he realized.
"I need a mechanic," he repeated it, this time out loud.
"She needs me, Festus." Leo said to his metal pal, not being able to keep the smile out of his voice.
The dragon creaked in reply.
"She needs me." he repeated, letting it sink in.
A/N: ASDFGHJKL! Okay, so first things first. I am SOOOOO SORRY! It's been forever since I updated this story and I know. I have good reasons too, I swear but I doubt you really care so I'll save you the time. Anyways, the reason I'm back is I missed the community and when I saw the stats on this story my jaw dropped.
OVER 10K VIEWS, OVER 50 FOLLOWERS, AND OVER 70 REVIEWS!
Thank you all so so so soooo much. The reason that I'm continuing this is because of you guys. I realized how many people I am disappointing by forgetting about this story. That's horrible of me. And with Blood of Olympus coming out in TWO FREAKING WEEKS! I realized that we're all dying here and that we only have so much longer until it's all over.
I just want to thank you all so much for the support that you've given this story, it means the world to me and it really does make a difference. I read every single review that I get and I love seeing new ones.
So please REVIEW, anyone can, even if you're not a member of this site. But if you are a member of this site, I would LOVE to talk about predictions and stuff for Blood of Olympus, so feel free to PM me or in your review mention that you want me to PM you and I will :) We can swap theories, freak out, make predictions, and just talk about anticipation while we still can.
ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I seriously am so thankful for all of you. ILY ~ Charmfeather
