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 eleven: The Evil Charmspeaker (Drew won the vote. Sorry for these how didn't vote for her.)
An Interview With: Drew, Daughter of Aphrodite
"Leo."
Leo looked up from the TV remote he was working on, just to face Drew, who was standing in front of him.
"Hi, Drew," he said, confused, "what are you doing here?" He was sitting near the canoe lake, because 'he wanted some time to think'. This is what he had told Jake, but he really was there because he wanted to check out the naiads.
"I want to talk to you," Drew said. She crossed her arms against her chest.
"What did I do this time?" Leo asked. He looked around, searching the area for Piper. She should help me with this girl, he thought. But unfortunately, Piper was nowhere to be seen.
"Nothing bad," Drew smiled. Curse her perfect teeth, Leo thought. They are as shiny as Thalia's teeth.
"So what do you want from me?" Leo said.
"I've heard that you interview campers," Drew said. Leo sighed, somehow he guessed this was about it.
"What about it?" Leo said.
Drew smiled. "I was thinking.. Why don't you interview me?"
"I don't know, maybe because you're mean to me?" Leo asked.
"C'mon, Leo," Drew rolled her eyes. Curse her perfect make-up, Leo thought. "You know you want to."
Curse her charmspeak ability. Where's Piper when I need her?
Leo closed his eyes. He tried his best to resist to Drew's voice, but it was too strong. He felt as in Medea's store again, unable to control his thoughts. Worst. Feeling. Ever!
"Okay," he managed to say. "But only if Piper will be there too so she could control you."
Drew wrinkled her nose. "Sure. Whatever. What are you going to do with the interviews?"
"Show it to everybody," Leo simply said. "I'm going to call Piper."
"Do you have to?" Drew asked.
Leo closed his eyes, and counted to ten. "I do." He said, and ran to call Piper.
"You're doing what?" Piper called.
"Interviewing Drew," Leo said in despair. "She made me! She charmspoke me!"
Piper rolled her eyes. She knew how charmspeak affects Leo. "So you want me to be there 'cause…?"
" 'Cause I want you to control her," Leo explained. "Please, Piper."
"Fine," Piper gave up. She got off her bed (she was sitting on it), grabbed her shoes and wore them. "Where is this brat?" She asked.
"Near the lake," Leo said. He grabbed Piper's arm and started to walk outside the Aphrodite cabin, dragging Piper with him. "Let's go!" He cheered.
"Let's go," Piper murmured.
"We're back!" Leo said as he and Piper in front of Drew.
"Yes, I can see that," she said. "Can you start now?"
"Yeah," Leo took out his camera. "Are you ready?"
"Wait!" Drew took out a mirror. "Do I look good enough?"
"Yes," Piper said impatiently.
"I wasn't asking for your opinion," Drew said, but she put her mirror back in her pocket. "I'm ready."
"Thanks gods," Leo said. He turned on his camera, and said, "here we are, Piper and I, near the canoe lake at Camp Half-Blood. Standing with us is Drew, the former head counselor of the Aphrodite cabin. Hi, Drew."
"Well, hello, Leo," Drew smiled. "Piper."
"So, Drew," Leo said. "What was it like having your younger sister kick your butt in front of your other siblings?" (Thank you, Aeron Thana, for the question!)
Piper tried to hide a snort of laughter, but not successfully.
"Best feeling ever," Drew said in a sarcastic tone.
"Really?" Leo looked surprised.
"Gods, Leo," Piper rolled her eyes. "She's kidding."
"It must be the first time I agree with you," Drew said to Piper. "Let's not try it again, okay? It was embarrassing, but I got over it. Now I'm free of responsibility and I can do whatever I wanna do."
"Thank you for being honest," Leo said, "what's with you and flirting all the time?" (Thank you again, Aeron Thana, for the question!)
"I'm a daughter of Aphrodite, duh," Drew raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't think 'bout that," Leo muttered. "When did you come to camp?"
"Just before the battle against Kronos," Drew said. "This titan is sooo unkind. He didn't care about his look. At all!"
"Must be depressing," Piper muttered.
"Shut up, Garbage Face," Drew hissed. "Do you have more questions?"
"Yes, actually," Leo said. "Why do you hate Silena?"
Drew pursed her lips. "Because… Because.. She didn't get it! Being a child of Aphrodite is being able to control love, in some way, not just making love. Aphrodite broke my dad's heart when she disappeared. We should be just like her!"
"When you put it like this," Leo said, "it's kinda mean. Break someone's heart because you want to be just like your mother."
"We're lucky you're not a son of Aphrodite," Drew crossed her arms against her chest. "You would be a disaster. I bet you never fell in love with someone."
Now it was Leo's turn to cross his arms. "What do you know, Barbie? You can't read my mind."
"I can't," Drew agreed, "but I can read your expressions. Whenever you look at someone's who at love, you look hungry. As if you want to be one of them. It's sick. You should find your own girl."
"Okay!" Leo said. "I think we finished for today, don't you agree, Piper?"
"I agree," Piper said. She looked at Drew, but her expression wasn't friendly. "It's lunch time. We should go and eat."
"Bye, Drew," Leo said. He turned off his camera, and put it back in its purse. "It wasn't much fun seeing you."
Drew laughed. "Whatever, Valdez. You know I'm right."
"About what?"
"About love," she pulled the word as if it was a gum.
"Phhhff, 'course not." Leo shook his hand. "I would like to stay here and prove my point, but it lunch time. I should eat, so I'll get stronger and leave Camp at time. Don't you want me to leave?"
Drew didn't seem to answer, so Piper and Leo walked away to lunch. But what if she was right? Leo thought. Never mind now, it's lunch time!
