*-Important Author's Note! Please read!-

Hello, Fanfiction people. First I just have to say that I am so so sorry that I haven't updated in a while. School has been working me nonstop. I don't have the time to write anymore except on the weekends - if I'm not sleeping - and during my lunch period. And for over 30 minutes at home during the week days. Anyway, so, I'm sorry if this isn't as good as it usually is. I have slight writer's block and I'm trying to rush this so I can finish and start on my newest story, Awakened, which is the continuation of Goodbye, but I won't give out any information about it until the last chapter of this story, where I will include a sneak preview. ;)

Well, I know i'm boring you guys with this incredibly long author's note, so on with the story! :D And also, thanks a bunch for those who are still waiting for an update and haven't given up on me. It means a lot.

Disclaimer: Sadly, I own nothing of Rick Riordan's.

*Chapter 6*

(Leo's 3rd person POV)

The sun was setting on the horizon behind a thick layer of stormy gray clouds, which meant rain, but the magical protection over the camp would prevent it from getting rained on.

Calypso, Leo, Grover and Juniper were standing on one side of the volleyball net as one team while Percy, Annabeth, Piper and Jason stood on the other side as the other team. Leo had taken a short break from building Calypso's cabin and joined them in what was going to be a very interesting game of volleyball.

"I'll serve first!" Percy yelled, then served the ball straight into the net.

Annabeth roared with laughter. "Wow. Good job, Percy."

Percy's eyes narrowed, and this time when he hit the ball it went soaring over the net.

"I've got it!" Juniper rushed forward and hit the ball. Jason dove for it and hit it back, straight for Calypso.

"Umm, I've got it?" she said uncertainly, and awkwardly hit the ball over the net.

Leo grinned at her. "Good job. At least you didn't hit the net like Percy did."

"It was an accident!" Percy said, red faced.

"Heads up, Percy!" Grover said, spiking the ball right at Percy. Percy turned, and the ball smacked him in the head.

"I said 'heads up,'" Grover said, grinning.

Percy glared at him. "If I wasn't invincible, I'd . . ."

"Okay, on with the game," Annabeth inturrupted Percy's threat, serving the ball.

Leo hit it again and said, "sorry, guys. I have to get back to work."

"Well, we can't play with only three players on your team," Piper said.

"I'll play," Thalia suddenly said, taking Leo's place. "You ready to get creamed, little brother?"

Jason scoffed. "Yeah right. It's time for me to win, big sister."

Thalia smirked.

"Like brother, like sister," Annabeth murmured.

Leo laughed. "See you later, guys." He went back to the cabin. It was almost done; all the cabin needed was a few curtains for the windows and a paint job. There was a flat screen tv that pops up from the wall with the press of a button - don't tell Chiron! - and a walk-in closet filled with things that Chiron thought Calypso would like: a few white cotton dresses and one or two pairs of jeans with Camp Half-Blood shirts to go with them, and a few pairs of sneakers, sandals and converse.

When he was finally finished he rejoined the group and nearly laughed out loud. Thalia and Jason were playing solo against each other, smacking the ball back and forth while the others just stood off to the side, their heads whipping from Thalia to Jason back and forth.

"What happened?" Leo asked them, grinning.

"A sibiling rivalry," Annabeth sighed.

"Yeah, we just decided to let them try and beat each other by themselves," Percy said. Leo noticed that his arms were around Annabeth's waist, and it made him think of Calypso. He turned, expecting to see her awkwardly off to the side by herself, but she wasn't. She was in between Piper and Juniper, and the girls were talking rapidly to one another.

"Calypso's getting along pretty well with Juniper and Piper," Leo said.

Percy glanced at them. "Yeah. I figured she would. She's too . . ."

"She's too what?" Annabeth asked, eyes narrowing.

Percy frowned. "She's too nice. But don't tell me your jealous again."

Annabeth scoffed. "I am not jealous. I don't care."

"Good. You shouldn't."

Annabeth didn't respond. She watched Jason and Thalia abuse the volleyball back and forth, and eventually a smile slowly started across her face.

Leo stood there awkwardly. "Um, I think I'll show Calypso her cabin," Leo muttered, and left the couple to walk over to the girls.

Calypso smiled at him when he approached. "Hello. How is the cabin going?"

"Great." Leo couldn't help but smile at her. "Finished."

Calypso's eyes widened and her lips parted slightly, making her even more beautiful. "It is? Can I see it?"

Leo shrugged. "Sure. Unless you want to stay and watch Jason and Thalia battle through a volleyball."

Calypso giggled. "No, thank you. I'd like to see my cabin, please."

"Cool. Okay then. Um, it's this way." Calypso walked with him to the cabin, where the red paint stood out behind the white curtains. They stepped inside, and Calypso gasped. "Oh, Leo! This is beautiful."

The walls were red, like the outside, with white curtains and wooden floorboards. A bed was pushed headboard first against the side wall, and a couch had been placed in the corner, facing the wall where the hidden t.v. was.

"Yeah, no problem. Here, this is the remote to the t.v." He picked it up and pointed it to the wall, where a 56 inch flat screen t.v. popped up from behind the wall.

Calypso gasped. "Oh, wow. And what is this?"

"It's a closet," Leo said. "It's where all of your clothes are. Chiron thought you'd be more comfortable in dresses, so . . . . here ya go."

Calypso walked around the room, awe on her face.

"What do you think?" Leo asked.

Calypso turned around and around in the cabin. "It is wonderful! I love it! Thank you so much, Leo."

Before he could respond, she ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

Blushing, he hugged her back. "You're welcome."

She pulled slightly away, and their gazes locked. They stood their in each other's arms. Leo felt like he had butterflies in his stomach.

"Leo?" she whispered.

"Yeah?" he whispered back.

She looked straight into his eyes. "I love you."

Leo thought he hadn't heard that right. Did she say . . . I love you? To him?

"You-I mean, uh . . . so you, like-" Leo couldn't finish. He was tongue-tied.

Calypso took small steps back from him. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you."

Leo ran a hand through his hair. "Um, it's okay. I uh . . . I should probably go."

Calypso inhaled softly and turned away. "Alright. And thank you for building my cabin."

"It's no problem," Leo said, then hurried back to his cabin, his heart pounding.

*Aww. Poor Calypso didn't get an answer back. But don't worry, she'll find out how Leo feels about her in the next chapter. Ta ta for now. Chapter 7 coming soon! :D*
