I refuse to believe that it's 2 days till Christmas just no. I swear it's still October!

I was personally quite happy with the events of this chapter, I hope you guys feel the same :)

Merry Christmas eve eve (I DON'T BELIEVE IE EITHER!)

A Very Percy Jackson Advent

December 23rd

"Coach Hedge, Coach Hedge!" Piper yelled excitedly as she knocked on Coach's door. She'd woken up before anyone else and dragged everyone out of their beds in her haste to have the sculptures judged.

"There's not even a prize for this one," Nico sighed as he was dragged along the hall by Hazel who had been dragged out f bed by Piper.

"I want to win though!" Piper exclaimed. "Ours is the best, Nico, it was such a good idea!"

Nico sighed but didn't struggle to get away from Hazel and go back to bed again. He admired Piper's enthusiasm if nothing else and he'd gotten to like her bubbly personality over the time they'd been working together. Still, he'd have rather worked with Frank or Hazel.

"What's going on?" Percy mumbled as Annabeth dragged him out of his room.

"We're judging the sculptures," Annabeth explained.

"Oh cool, Frank go and get it out of the freezer!" he exclaimed. Frank pulled a face but still shuffled his way to the kitchen to retrieve their sculpture.

"Coach Hedge!" Piper yelled again. Finally, Coach answered his door with a frown.

"I need my sleep!" he said. "I came on this quest to fight a war not baby sit a bunch of hyperactive teenagers!"

"I'll make you some Christmas cake," Reyna bribed him. She was the only one who hadn't complained when Piper had dragged her up and out of bed, in fact, she seemed just as excited as Piper.

Coach Hedge contemplated the offer for a while before sighing his agreement and allowing himself to be swept away by Piper and Reyna whilst everyone else ran off to get their sculpture to display it in the dining hall.

Piper and Nico's Christmas tree had been expertly carved by Nico's ghost and then piper had painted it with a great eye for detail.

Annabeth had managed to carve hers and Jason's Santa out to be quite realistic. She'd painted it with bright colours and then she'd told Jason to put a Santa hat on top of it because he'd complained that he hadn't done anything.

Frank and Percy stood proudly by their Reindeer ice sculpture. Percy had managed to mould the water so it mimicked Frank's reindeer perfectly so the end result looked like a very life like reindeer made of ice.

"I think we definitely deserve to win, Coach," Percy said. "I had to sit in the freezer for two hours whilst that froze."

Calypso had woven a huge 3D star to which Hazel had stitched hundreds of sequins onto so that it sparkled in even the dimmest light.

And then, standing smugly at the end of the line, was Leo – along with Reyna who just looked excited – with his snow-fire man.

"What is that!?" Coach exclaimed.

"It's a snowman made out of fire," Leo grinned.

""I love it!" Coach exclaimed. "You could throw it at your enemies and watch as they burn!"

"Yesh... okay Coach," Leo said.

"Do we win?" Reyna asked.

"Good effort everyone, awesome Christmas tree, and that ice reindeer would be so much better if I could eat it but yes, Reyna and Leo win."

"Yeah!" Leo and Reyna cheered as they gave each other a high five.

"Nico working with you Valdez," Reyna said.

"You too, Reyna," Leo said, choosing not to say her last name as he decided that it was too long. "Why is your last name so long anyway?" he asked.

"I don't know, it's not that long," Reyna replied.

"Avila Ramírez-Arellano," Leo said.

Reyna shrugged.

"Well done Leo!" Calypso congratulated him, shoving Reyna to the side as she hugged him.

Percy grinned a she saw it happen. "Just move back a liiiitle bit more," he muttered under his breath.

"What?"Frank asked.

Percy pointed to a space behind Calypso and Leo, "There's mistletoe there."

"Haven't you let that go yet?" Frank sighed.

"Nope," Percy said, "and I never will. Yes!" he exclaimed as Leo and Calypso moved under the mistletoe.

Leo looked up and noticed it and then looked down in a poor attempt to hide his blush. Calypso looked up as she noticed Leo blushing and then looked down in a poor attempt to hide her grin.

"You have to kiss now!" Percy yelled like a madman.

Leo shrugged and kissed Calypso who eagerly kissed him back meanwhile Percy jumped around and whooped in celebration until Annabeth grabbed his hand to hold him still.

When their kiss was finished they looked at each other questioningly. "Does this mean-?" Calypso asked but didn't finish the question, Leo knew what she meant.

"Well... um... I mean... not if you don't want..." Leo answered.

"No but what if I... I mean... what if I..."

"Just say you'll go out with each other already!" Percy yelled.

"Okay?" Leo asked.

"Okay," Calypso confirmed and then sealed it with a kiss.

"Can I please have my Christmas pudding now!" Coach yelled.

I know a lot of you have been wanting Caleo to be canon for a while now so merry christmas! I threw a little TFIOS in there too for those of you, if any, that have read it (I'm sorry if you have).

parathalassio-selinofos: I'll try and get a little of Percy/Nico in the next chapter but for me it's a very one sided ship, I can't really see Percy loving anyone but Annabeth :/

pjo-guardgeek: Yeah, I think I'll either go with the idea that's in my head now for tomorrow which I don't wanna say or I'll have a big shipping extravaganza... we'll see what tomorrow brings.

Percy'sSisterSPQR: You're welcome, hope you had a nice birthday :)

Smile: Of course you were right, with Coach judging and with fire involved, how could anyone else win?x

butterflygirly99: Ah sorry, coach Hedge loves fire snowmen much more than santa

Lily: Oh right... I'd forgotten about that...

TheargoII: I actually might do that in tomorrow's chapter... maybe.

annoyinreindeer: I'm 16... it's my last year of high school and then I go to 6th form for 2 years and then I can either go straight to uni, get a job or take a gap year and then go to uni.

Remnant of Life: don't apologize for rambling! I love long reviews! Of course *slaps face* I know what winter solstice is. I lectured my family about how the Christmas tree is actually taken from the pagans and how Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, Christians just made Christmas then so that it would coincide with winter Solstice!

Panda Blast: haha, not long to wait now dear x

Aly kitten: maybe if they'd added food colouring to the reindeer it would have won.

thefangirlthatwon'tshutup: "Some people are worth melting for" *cries for a thousand years* I LOVE OLAF HE'S AWESOME!

Alexja2013: I'll be honest, I don't know how I update every day either. If only I had this kind of commitment to my revision...

Bob frank: Caleo for you and caleo for everyone! merry christmas!

.Me: Yes caleo, I had to make it canon after so many people mentioned it!

Ana-DaughterofHades: Ohhh yeah, I almost forgot about that. I'll make sure to tie up any lose ends by the last chapter...

LeeOfHermes0330: Yup, nowadays a comedy is the only thing I can sit through without pausing to go on tumblr or otherwise having a constant food supply...

sonofthetrigod: Yes I got it now, I'll be sure to incorporate it into the story :)

see you all tomorrow x
