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 nineteen: The Show
"Hi, Valdez," Nyssa said behind him.
"Oh, hi, sis," Leo said. "Hi Will."
Will was standing with Nyssa, holding her hand. Leo raised his eyebrows, and they blushed. "We just wanted to say that we're proud of you," Nyssa said, "and that we wish you would leave soon 'cause we want to get rid of you as soon as possible."
"Very funny," Leo stuck out his tongue. "So are you guys officially a couple now?"
"Yes," Will said. He looked at Nyssa and smiled. "Why, do you have a problem with it?"
"No, but don't get her pregna-" Leo started to say, but Nyssa, who was luckily smart enough and predicated what was going to happen, covered his mouth with his hand. "Okaay, that's enough, Leo. Have fun at the party."
"I will, Will and Nyssa. Hey, that's funny. I will, Will."
"He's hopeless," Nyssa whispered to Will as they walked away.
"So, hmm, does everybody hear me?" Piper called everyone's attention.
"No!" Connor and Travis called.
"Oh, shut up," Piper rolled her eyes. "So we're having this surprise party to Leo, who was, as everybody knows, working really hard on the well known warship, Argo II. He put so much effort in it, and we want to thank him and say we're proud of him. Thank you, Leo."
"You're welcome," Leo said. "It's all because I'm awesome."
"I'm pretty sure you are," Piper rolled her eyes again.
"Really?"
"No, that was sarcasm."
"Boo!"
"C'mon, Leo. Grow up already." Piper said. "As for the special surprise of tonight, I sent our not so lovely Connor and Travis Stoll from the Hermes Cabin on a mission. You all know that Leo was interviewing campers for the last few weeks, so Connor and Travis stole – sorry about that, Leo – his video camera, and we're going to watch the interviews he had done!"
"Yes!" Everyone cheered.
"Oh man, you were in my cabin earlier when I showered?" Leo asked Connor and Travis.
"Yes." Travis said in amusement as Leo's face became red. "And we must say you're a good rapper."
"Oh gods."
"We didn't record you, though," Connor said, "it was your day, after all. But we did tell everyone about it."
"Oh gods."
"Yup," Travis laughed.
"Leo, do you want to have a speech before we watch the interviews?" Piper asked.
"Yes, I do," Leo was finding himself saying. He looked around at his friends, and his fellow campers… and hunters, and opened his mouth. "When we first got here, Jason and Piper and I, we thought that this whole thing was a prank. We didn't believe any of this was possible, not talking about the whole gods' thing. But now, after one quest, almost dying, and living here along with you for a few months, I'm proud to call this place home, and I promise you we will kick Gaea's huge butt for everyone! Thank you for everything."
Everybody cheered, and Leo smiled. He didn't lie. He knew this place was his home. After he gets back from the extremely dangerous quest he's going to go to, he's going to be a normal demigod for a while.
Leo sat among his friends, watching the interviews on a big screen his siblings managed to build to quickly. He seemed so careless there, even though it happened a few weeks ago.
He laughed with everybody at his 'King Leo' part. He became sad as Annabeth talked about Percy, and laughed again when she started to chase him. He didn't talk as Piper talked about her relationship with her father. He smiled at Katie when she blushed as he asked Travis about her. He cheered with everybody as Katie tried to choke the Stolls to death. He booed as he saw Will's pink arrows again, and laughed as Will chased the Stolls right after the interview with him was over.
He laughed his head off at the memory of Grover mimicking Percy's voice, and Lacy's stupid answers. He wiped a tear with everybody as Nyssa talked about Beckendorf, even though he never met him. He smiled as he heard his conversation with Chiron, including the part about Thalia. He stuck out his tongue at Thalia as she lost the Capture the Flag game.
He blushed as Drew talked about him never finding a love, wiped another tear as Clarisse remembered finding Chris. He felt guilty as Annabeth tried to kill Nico, and was glad she didn't kill him. He felt happy as Grover talked about Juniper, cheered as Tyson showed up. He watched as the hunters became sad when Phoebe talked about Zoe, and was thanking everyone in the end of the show.
He didn't have time to thank everyone again, because Chiron sent them to bed. "I love you all," he managed to say before he went with his siblings to his cabin.
"Leo?" Nyssa said after they were all in bed.
"Yes?"
"Thank you."
"For what?" Leo was super surprised. He should thank her. She helped with the party and all. She always was there when he needed her. What is she doing?
"For coming here," she said. "You make everything more fun. You're funny, and you always cheer me up. Thanks for being the amazing brother you are."
Leo blushed and thanked the gods for having darkness in the cabin. "You're welcome, Nyssa."
And just before he fell asleep, he said, "Thank you for being the amazing sister you are. I love you." And he fell asleep, not knowing what the next day's surprise was.
The chapter you've been waiting for for so long is here! It wasn't my best, I know. Feel free to tell me what you think of it, and be honest!
I changed my mind, and the next chapter is NOT the epilogue! YAY!
Since I really have to go (The Independce Day's festival is going to start soon, and the glee club of my school - which I'm a member of - is performing so I need to get ready.), there isn't going to be a answers part for this chapter. Sorry about that.
LOVE YOU ALL!
Rachel.
