"Leo."

"Hold on," he responded with a grin.

"Leo," Calypso said in a frustrated tone.

"Were almost there."

"Valdez!"

"What? You wanted to see snow so I am taking you to see snow." They were on Festus's back in route to a location where Leo knew there would be some good snow.

"Yes, but is the blindfold necessary?"

"Completely!"

"Why? I like being able to see!"

"You don't trust me?" Leo asked with a smile.

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

"Hey! Stop it. This is going to be a great surprise."

Calypso sighed and held onto him tighter. "Just don't let me fall."

"Yeah that would set us back a little."

"A little!"

"Hey give me some credit. I am not like Frank. He's the expert at dropping people while flying. I learned that the hard way…" He shook his head to get the memory of falling from the sky into a civil war fort out of the way so he could refocus on his task. "How are we doing Festus?"

"Click, click."

"You're in luck Sunshine! Festus says that we are almost there!"

"Almost where?"

"You'll see soon enough!" Leo felt one of Calypso's arms detach from his waist and slap him multiple times in the head.

"Ow!" Leo complained. "Why are you hitting me?"

"Because I can," Calypso said with a laugh.

They flew in silence for a few minutes through the clouds until Festus clicked a few times to notify Leo that they had arrived.

Festus went into a dive and out of the clouds Leo could see a land with a number of trees which were blanketed with white snow. He could feel the temperature drop, but it didn't bother him much. Glancing down he noticed that Calypso was starting to get goose bumps one her arms.

"We almost there?" She asked.

"Festus is just looking for a place to land," he answered.

A few minutes later they landed in a small clearing. When Festus landed his leg buckled a little causing him to jerk to the right.

"Whoa there!" Leo exclaimed while holding on tight to the saddle. "Are you ok there buddy?"

"Click, squeak!"

"Is he ok?" Calypso asked.

"Yeah, he's fine. Leg still needs some work, but it's holding up." He jumped down from Festus's back and grabbed Calypso's hand to help her down.

"Can I take this thing off of me now?" She asked.

"Almost," he replied. He reached up into one of the bags tied to Festus's sides and pulled out his coat that she had made for him back when he was on Ogygia. "Here put this on. It will help keep you warm."

She spread her arms out as Leo helped her into the coat. It was a little big on her, but Leo figured that it would help to keep her warm. He stepped behind her and untied the blind fold.

"And presto! We have snow!"

He pulled the blindfold away and watched as Calypso took her first look at the snow. Her eyes went big as she took in her surroundings. Slowly she looked down at the snow that went up to her ankles. She stomped a few times to make tracks in them and inspected them closely. She bent down and put her hands in and started to trace a pattern with her finger.

"So…," Leo said. "What do you think?"

"I…love it!" A huge smile burst forth on her face and her eyes lit up the area. She started to let loose in a way that Leo hadn't seen before. She started to dance around the area, kicking up snow and letting it fall onto her head. "This is amazing!" she joyfully exclaimed. For the first time she seemed to notice what coat she was wearing and looked over to him.

"This is your coat. What are you going to wear?"

"I'll be fine," he responded. "You need it more than me."

"Won't you be cold?"

"Nah." He waved his hand like it was stupid question. "One advantage of being able to summon fire is that the gold doesn't affect me very much." Her head tilted to the side a little and she raised one of her eyebrows skeptically.

"Trust me Sunshine I will be fine." He bent down and balled some snow up in his hand. "I would worry more about yourself."

"Why would should I lo-" Leo's snow ball nailed her in the side of the face which caused her to stumble back a step.

"What was that!" she yelled while glaring at him.

"It's called a snow ball," he replied and started to laugh. "You have never seen one before?" He tossed another one and made a direct hit with her shoulder.

"Stop it!" she shouted while Leo continued to laugh.

"What are you going to do to stop me?" he asked as he threw another one which hit her in the stomach.

"You are so dead, Valez!"

Their war began. Leo sprinted into the trees with Calypso not far behind. He dodged between a few trees before stopping and making a snowball. He stepped away from the tree as a snowball flew past him; only inches from his ear.

"You're going to have to do better than that!" he yelled and through his ball at her which missed and hit a tree. He went back on the move for a few yards and hid behind a tree. Reaching down he got a new snowball and pressed himself against the tree; listening for sounds of pursuit.

He stood silent for a couple of minutes when something cold and wet hit him on the side of the head. Getting icy water in his ear.

Leo turned to his right and saw Calypso standing there and laughing so hard that she was nearly bending over.

"How did you find me?"

"I followed your tracks you idiot," she gasped between her laughing. "You should have seen the look on your face when you got hit!"

"You are going to pay for that one!" He went straight for her and she ran away. Leo was faster though. He scooped up as much snow as he could and dumped it over her head.

"Ah!" she screamed as she got covered in snow as Leo started to laugh. Catching him off guard she tackled him and they both fell into the snow and rolled around for a moment.

He ended up on his back laughing along with Calypso. He looked over at her. She was on her back as well. Her smile consumed her entire face. Her mouth was wide, her eyes sparkling, even her wet hair seemed to be shining. She was laughing harder than Leo had heard so far. All of her clothes were wet and covered with snow, but she didn't seem to care. Leo could have laid there and watched her all day.

He reached over and took her hand and she locked eyes with him. There was so much that could have been said, but Leo decided to keep things silent. The things that he was feeling with her right next to him, as he looked into those gorgeous eyes, was enough. He just wanted to stay in this moment as long as he could. Just stay here with her and forget everything else in the world.

When Leo first saw Calypso sure he thought she was beautiful. Who couldn't? However her initial attitude made it so that Leo saw her no different than anyone else. Sure she was pretty. So what? There were plenty of pretty girls in the world. Leo would know. He had gotten rejected from a good number of them throughout his life. With Calypso it was different though. She wasn't just a pretty face. Leo knew who she was. He knew what her personality was really like and the kind of person that she really was. Leo had never really paid attention to things like that before. With Calypso he wondered how he could not notice. What was really attractive to him was who she was. The person on the inside. He could see all of that within her and that made her even more beautiful to him on the outside. It made him feel a little bad for never trying to get to know all those other girls that he was attracted to because of their looks.

"So what do you think about snow?" he asked finally breaking the silence.

She squeezed his hand and didn't break eye contact with him. "It's even better than I remember. It has been too long." She squeezed his hand again. "Thank you so much."

"Anytime…" He stared at her for a moment longer then sat up. "C'mon. Let's go find Festus and build a fire. I don't want you turning into a Calypsicle on me."

"Yeah a fire would probably be nice." He helped her up and she started to hug him.

Leo enjoyed kissing, but he absolutely loved it when she hugged him. He always got a warm feeling within him. He wasn't quite sure how to describe it except for nice. It felt nice and he never wanted it to end. Sure he had only known her for a short time, but he didn't think he would ever get tired of hugging her.

So here is the story so far! I fully intend to continue until he makes it back to his friends at least. Maybe longer than that I don't know yet.

I have always thought that Leo and I have similar personalities so I think that he would feel the similarly when it comes to Love. So a lot of the stuff from this story, particularly this chapter, is generally my beliefs on these situations. Hope you are enjoying it and please leave a review below to tell me what you think and any suggestions that you have! Thanks for reading!

Also I was going to mention in this chapter where they are, but wasn't sure how to fit it in. They are in Canada near where Frank lived. Leo knew that would be a good place to go for snow because Frank had previously told him about the winters in that area.
