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 five: The Flower (not getting better with the titles.)
An Interview with: Katie Gardner, the daughter of Demeter
"What taked you so long?" Annabeth asked when Leo and Nyssa came back from their cabin.
"The Stolls." Nyssa said. Now she wore her camp T-shirt, and some pair of old jeans. Her hair was wet, and she was angry. Very angry.
"Told ya," Katie passed by. "I saw them by your cabin earlier this morning."
"Yeah, we kinda figured this whole thing out," Nyssa hissed. "I'm going to help Jake with the ropes."
"OK," Annabeth said. "Tell him he should finish with it by now."
"Fine," Nyssa said and walked away.
"Why did these brats do this time?" Katie asked.
"Nothing bad, actually," Leo laughed. "It was funny, thought. They put a backet full of water at the front door, and when Nyssa openned the door it fell down."
"Hmm," Katie said, "primitive." And she went away to join her cabin mates.
They were stading in the sword arena, where all the campers were helping tying the Argo 2, so they could drag it to the shore. The Hephaestus campers were yelling at each other, arguing about the way they should tie the ropes. The Athena campers controlled the situation, and all the other campers just stood by and cheered.
"Leo, you think the ship will be done by the summer solstice?" Annabeth asked, worried.
"Of course!" The question surprised Leo. "We have one month until then, we can make it on time."
"I hope so," Annabeth looked away at the other campers. She smiled, but her smile wasn't happy.
Here we go, Leo thought to himself. Now she's going to talk about Percy, and that will make her upset for the rest of the day.
"I wish Percy was here," Annabeth said. Her voice trembled as she said the name of her lost boyfriend. "He would be so excited about the warship thing."
"I'm sure," Leo said, "talk to you later, kay? Need to go and check what's going on."
"OK," Annabeth said. "See you later."
Leo walked toward the rest of his cabin mates. Jake and Harkey were tying the ropes on the right side of the warship, and Nyssa, Christopher and Shane were tying ropes on the left side of the warship.
"Guys, attention!" Leo called. They all looked at him, curious to hear what he had to say.
"We have until one P.M. to move this ship! Annabeth says we need to finish the construction within three weeks, so we'll have time to organize everything else for the flight. Can we do it?"
"Yes!" they cheered. (A\N: That reminds me of Bob the Builder. In MY country they say: "Natzli'ach lettakken?" "Ken, ken, ken!" Yup, my native language is hard...)
"So c'mon! Let's do it!" Leo raised his fist in the air. "Let's show everyone who's the best cabin in this camp!"
.1.1.
"And... Done!" Leo shouted. "We did it!" they dragged the warship to the shore, and eventually finished with it.
They stood at the shore, among with the rest of the camp. Leo stood with Jason and Piper, and they watched as the campers went to have lunch.
"Good job, Repair Boy," Piper smiled. "This ship is going to be so awesome!"
"I know, I built it," Leo laughed.
"You think it could fly to California?" Jason asked, worried.
"Well, duh," Leo rolled his eyes. "Let's go to lunch. This whole ship thing made me hungry."
"Let's go," Jason said, and they left the beach, talking and laughing like they used to.
.1.
To celebrate the new spot of Argo 2, Chiron canceled the afternoon activities. Leo was happy to have some free time, and he spent it with the Stolls brothers, chasing birds (and filming it, of course).
"Stolls!" Someone called behind Leo's back.
"What's up, Katie?" Connor smiled at the annoyed Katie.
"Chiron wants to see you," she said.
"What did we do this time?" Travis asked.
"I donno, maybe he found out about his broken CD-player." Katie said.
"We didn't do that!" Travis protested. "Right?"
"I think we actually did break it," Connor muttered.
"Ah-ha!" Katie said. "Busted. He said he wants to see you because the monet you stole from the camp store. You just admitted you broke his CD-player, too."
Connor cursed. "Let's go, man," he said to Travis. Then he turned to Leo. "It was nice knowing you," and then he turned to Katie. "You.. well, I have nothing to say to you. Bye."
Then he headed to the Big House with Travis.
"These stupid brats," Katie muttered. "What's up, Leo?"
"Pretty good," Leo turned the camera to her direction. "Can I ask you some questions?"
"Sure, why not?" Katie said.
"How old were you when you came to camp?" Leo asked.
"Hmmm.. It was five years ago? So eleven." Katie said.
"Did you get here safely?"
"Not really," Katie said.
"What happened?" Leo was surprised. He didn't think a daughter of Demeter would be attacted by monsters.
"Well, some demonds chased me," Katie said. "They kept talking about wheat and barley. The satyr who protected me, George, said they're not as harmful as other monsters, but they did a really good job at attacting me."
"Wow," Leo said. "I wouldn't want to meet these demonds. Did Demeter clain you immediatly?"
"No, actually," Katie said. "I was in the Hermes cabin for a week – the worst week of my life."
Leo laughed. "You really hate the Stolls, aren't you?"
"Yup," Katie admitted.
"What would you say if I tell you that Travis might has a secret crush on you?" Leo asked curiously.
"I donno," Katie said. "I might scream in terror."
"So, after you got out of the Hermes cabin and moved to the Demeter cabin, did you start loving camp?" Leo asked.
"Yes, of course," Katie said. "It has a lot of cool stuffs, and it's fun to meet all the other demigods. It's nice to know that you're not alone, that you have friends whom understand you."
"Yeah, I guess that's right," Leo agreed. "What about your mortal family? You have one?"
"Sure," Katie said. "I have a father who owns a flower shop. That how he met Demeter."
"You know, there's something that bugs (A\N: bugs me a little bit, Demeter is the godess of flowers and everything. Bug = instect. Get it? XD) me a little bit." Leo said.
"What's it?" Katie asked.
"When Jason, Piper and I arrived at camp, Miranda was the head counsoler. What happened to you?" Leo asked.
"Well, usually I'm not a year-round. I come here at summers, because I don't actually have problems with monsters outside," Katie explained.
"So why are you here now? It's May," Leo was confused.
" 'Cause the Argo 2," Katie said. "I wanted to help with it."
"Good girl," Leo patted her shoulder. "This is how people should think."
"More questions?" Katie asked. "I really have to go to help the satyrs with the strawberries."
"Just one more," Leo said.
"This is the last one?" Katie asked.
"Yes," Leo promised. "What would you do if I tell you that Connor and Travis aren't being lectured by Chiron, and that they're entering your cabin right now?"
"Gotta go!" Katie was terrified. "Need to kill someone." And she ran off to her cabin, yelling at the Stolls.
"Good job, me," Leo said to himself. "Let's go and film how Katie kills them. That should be interesting."
