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 owns all the characters.
Chapter eight: The Daughter
An Interview With: Nyssa, the daughter of Hephaestus (Did you know that Nyssa is the only daughter of Hephaestus mentioned in both the series?)
It took a few days before Leo had a chance to film again. He was busy with designing the rooms inside the Argo 2, even thought Annabeth did most of the work. He couldn't even think about doing another interview because Chiron said he needs "to take his work more seriously," and blah blah blah.
When he finally got the chance to film, it was while in Craft. He was sitting near the table along with the rest of his cabin and the Nike cabin, and they tried to make weapons for the ship.
Ever since December, when Leo and Piper and Jason returned from their quest, the whole camp was obsessed with the warship. Like Jake said before, it was the biggest project the Hephaestus cabin had ever tried to build. It demanded their full attention, and it was a serious business in that matter. Demanding the attention of ADHD demi-gods is a pretty big deal.
"You know, Nyssa, I never got the chance to actually interview you," Leo said when he helped Nyssa with re-designing her broken sword (Clarisse broke it during Capture-The-Flag).
"Give me that hammer," Nyssa said, ignoring what he had said.
Leo gave her the hammer, and she struck her sword blade several times. "Did you hear what I said?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure," Nyssa said, "you said something about how your room inside the ship is going to look, right?"
"It's going to be freaking awesome!" Leo was enthusiastic. "The walls are going to be printed like fire, and I will even have my own fireplace!"
"Why do you want a fireplace?" Nyssa asked. "It's almost June."
Leo rolled his eyes. "Because fireplaces are so cool!"
"Whatever," Nyssa wiped the sweat from her forehead. "The cabin is going to be much more peaceful without you around."
"Hey!" Leo protested.
Nyssa laughed. "Don't worry; it won't be peaceful anymore after you will come back."
"If he will come back," someone said.
"Jeez, thanks," Leo made a face. "I love you all."
"We love you too, man," Jake said.
"Back to my question," Leo turned to Nyssa, "can I interview you?"
"Right now?" Nyssa asked.
"Right now," Leo agreed.
"OK, I don't have anything better to do," Nyssa shrugged.
"Yes!" Leo said. He took out his camera from its purse (after last week, when the Stoll brothers took it as a joke, he had carried the camera with him all the time.), and turned it on. "Hi, Nyssa."
"Hi, Leo," Nyssa replied in the same tune.
"Are you ready?" (A\N: that line reminds me of "The Princess and the Frog" from Disney. There's this creepy song in the end, with the masks. It caused me nightmares!) Leo asked.
"Yup," Nyssa said.
"So let's get started!" Leo cheered. "First one: what was it like when you heard about Beckendorf dying? I know this subject is touchy, so you don't have to answer if you don't want to" (Thank you, ruerox11, for the question!)
Nyssa bit her lips. She blinked a few times, trying to make the tears disappear. "We couldn't believe it," she managed to say. "It was a shock. We never thought this could happen. Without Beckendorf, it seemed like nothing's going to be alright."
"He was a good guy?" Leo asked. Will already told him about him, but he wanted to hear it from someone who knew Beckendorf better.
"We was… more than a good guy," Nyssa said, "everyone loved him. He was a good friend, and he never let you down."
"That seems awesome to me," Leo said. "Talking about him, who's better: Beckendorf, Jake or me?" (Thank you again, ruerox11, for the question!)
Nyssa smiled. "You all good, I must say. Each of you has his advantages."
"Like…?"
"I can't really describe it," Nyssa said. "But I guess you get my point."
"I am," Leo said. "Speaking of being a head counselor and everything, who do you feel about it? You're sixteen (A\N: I made that up. Don't kill me!), Jake's sixteen too, and I'm fifteen. If Jake would quit, and I wouldn't be here, you would become the head counselor." (Thank you, My Pretty Kitty7, for the question!)
"I don't really care," Nyssa shrugged. "I never wanted to be a head counselor. I guess it wouldn't be so bad being one, but I'm happy with who I am now."
"You know, that's a good way of looking at it," Leo said, "well done, sis."
Nyssa rolled her eyes. "On a second thought, Jake was better than you."
"Thanks, Nyssa," Jake called from behind Leo.
"Hey!" Leo protested again. "You know, you never told me how you got the pink paint off Will's arrows."
Nyssa blushed. "Why do you care?"
"I don't really care," Leo admitted. "But I think Will would like to know, so he could do it himself the next time."
"The next time?" Nyssa repeated, "like, there's going to be a next time?"
"I dunno," Leo said. "It depends on the Stoll's mood. Will was so grateful when you gave him his arrows back."
Nyssa blushed, "I was glad I could help."
Leo smiled. He got what he needed. "Is there something between you two?" (Thank you, Sasha The Spectacular, for the question!)
Nyssa's face got redder. "It's none of your business."
"Will told me something I think you might wanna know," Leo tried to coax her.
Nyssa tried to look indifferent. "What?" she asked.
"I'm not telling ya," Leo stuck out his tongue.
"Fine."
"Fine."
"Good."
"Good." (A\N: I miss "Sonny with a Chance". Sonny and Chad are SO cute together!)
Suddenly, Travis Stoll went into the forge. "Hide me!" he screamed, before diving behind a table.
"What's going on here?" Harley asked.
"Katie," Travis said, trying to catch his breath.
"That explains a lot," Maria, a daughter of Nike, said.
"Have to go, Nyssa," Leo told Nyssa. "I gotta film this!"
"Have fun," Nyssa smiled. It was always fun watching Travis and Katie's fights.
"I will," Leo promised, and went to call Katie, to inform her about Travis' hiding-place.
