While building Argo 2, Leo decides to buy a new video - camera, and film everything that's going on. Including interviews with campers, Jasper, Percabeth and more (: I suck at summaries.Placed between TLO and SoN.T because I want.
Disclaimer: I if were Rick Riordan, I wouldn't be writing this. I'd be working on "The Mark of Athena". So apparently, I'm NOT Rick Riordan, who onws all the characters.
Chapter three: The Way She Charmed Me (I'm not getting better with the titles, right?)
An Interview With: Piper McLean, Daughter of Apfrodite
So after Annabeth chased him around camp, and after Chiron rebuked them, Leo was sitting on his bed, watching what he had filmed.
"Hey, Repair Boy," he heard a voice coming behind him. He turned around and saw Piper, of course.
She wore white shirt that showed off her eyes, tattered jeans and hiking boots. Her hair was braided, and she smiled. "Playing with your new toy?"
"Yup, wanna see?" asked Leo. He showed her all the interviews he did today. She blushed when she heard Jason talking about her, and laughed when Annabeth ran after Leo.
"Good job. What are you planning to do with the tape?"
"I donno, maybe throw a party and show it to everybody," Leo shrugged. "Maybe send it to the gods."
"DON'T send it to the gods," Piper adviced. "They'll freak out."
"Maybe." Said Leo. He was getting tired. "I think I should take a rest. Can you go now, please?"
"A rest? It's only nine P.M. Leo, are you sick?" Piper put her hand on his forehead. "No, you're not sick."
"Very funny, Piper," Leo rolled his eyes. "I really need to go to sleep. I woke up really early today."
"Whatever," said Piper. "Good night, Valdez."
"Good night, McLean," Leo grinned.
Piper went out, and Leo turned off the light. "Good night, me."
~LINE BREAK~
"Piper!" Leo burst into the Aphrodite cabin. "Piper!"
"What's wrong, Leo?" Piper woke up and sat on her bed. Her hair was a mess, and she looked like she's about to fall asleep in any second.
"I want to interview you!" Leo said excitedly.
"Leo, didn't you say you want to sleep?" Piper asked.
"I did, but I couldn't," Leo said.
Piper ran a hand through her hair. She looked at her brothers and sisters, who were sleeping peacefully, and then shook her head. "Okay, but do it fast .."
"OK," Leo smiled. This was too good to be true. He took the camera out of its purse, turned it on and pointed it at Piper. He opened his mouth, and then closed it. He turned the camera off, and cleared his throat. "Piper, you sure you don't want to fix your hair?"
"What's wrong with it?" Piper asked. She grabbed the nearest mirror (A\N: speaking of mirror, did you know that the word 'mirror' has 6 letters, and half of them are R's?), and released a scream. "I think I should fix my hair," she decided.
Leo waited quietly – which was not like him – while Piper brushed her hair. When she was done, he turned the camera on again. "Can we start?" he asked.
"Yes." Piper said.
"So, we're in the Aphrodite cabin, along with Piper McLean –"
"The amazing Piper McLean," Piper fixed him.
"Your charmspeak didn't work," Leo stuck out his tongue.
"Leo, go chase your tail," Piper smiled sweetly.
Leo put his camera on the floor and started to chase himslef in circles to the sound of Piper's laughter.
"I don't have a tail!" he protested.
"Of course you don't, silly," Piper rolled her eyes. "You can stop now."
"Do not do this to me again!" Leo pointed at Piper with his finger. She was too busy laughing than actually listen to him.
"Can you start now?" she asked. "I want to go back to sleep."
"Fine." Leo said. "First question; what's it like to have a famous father?"
"Well, it's complicated," Piper said. "Sometimes I wish I could make him spend more time with me, but he does his best to make my life better than the life he had when he was in my age."
"How were his life when he was in your age?" Leo asked.
"Not as good as mine," Piper laughed miserably.
"OK..." Leo said, "next one. Who is your best friends at the Aphrodite cabin?"
"That's easy," Piper said. "Lacy and Mitchel, of course."
"Why them?"
"They were the first to welcome me when we first arrived here," Piper smiled.
"That's true," Leo agreed with her. "And still in your cabin, do you still hate Drew, the evil charmspeaker?"
"I don't hate her!" Piper was shocked. "I just.. don't get along with her, I would say. She's not a bad person, she's just trying to get everyone to do what she wants."
"That's kinda selfish, you know," Leo pointed out.
"I guess.. But that's Drew. If she wasn't like that she wasn't herself," Piper managed a smile.
"Does the fact that you don't like her related somehow to Jason?" Leo asked nastily.
Piper rolled her eyes. She knew this was going to happen. Jason and her weren't a couple. Not yet, she added in her mind.
She did her best to make Jason see her than more than a friend. The way her looked at her... reminded her the image of someone who wants to get something, but can't reach it.
"Piper!" Leo called.
"Ah?" she asked.
"You were smiling like an idiot." Leo said. "Is there's something to do with Jason?"
"Maybe," Piper avoided looking directly in the camera. She was sure she was blushing, and it didn't help her.
"Will you tell me?"
"No."
"Why not?" Leo looked offended.
" 'Cause it's none of your buisnes," Piper replied.
"But.. But I'm your best friend!" Leo protested.
"That's the problem," Piper sighed. "I know that no matter what I will say, you will tell EVERYBODY about it."
"What? 'Course I won't tell anybody!" Leo promised.
"Should I trust you?" Piper asked.
"Probably not," Leo admitted.
"That's why," Piper yawned.
"Should I go now?" Leo asked when he noticed Piper's yawn.
"Yess..." Piper said. "Good night, Valdez."
"Night? It's just 2 A.M. It's not even evening," Leo laughed.
"You're right. It's morning," Piper rolled her eyes. "I need to go to sleep, and I bet that you too."
"Maybe," Leo smirked.
"Go." Piper ordered.
Leo didn't want her to charmspeak him again, so he went outside. "Good night, Piper."
He didn't hear anything, so he was pretty sure Piper fell asleep. Now it was his turn to yawn. Boy, he hadn't realized how tired he was. In the minute he got into his bed, he fell asleep...
