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 twenty: The Phone Call

An Interview With: Rachel Elizabeth Dare, the oracle of Delphi

"Leo. Meeting. Big House. Now." Piper burst into the Hephaestus cabin.

"What is wrong?" Leo asked. "I found what the problem was. I'm in the middle of fixing it."

"I know. You told me that earlier," Piper breathed. "Chiron said something about Percy. We should hurry."

"I'm coming," Leo got off his head, where he was playing with his cam. "Let's go."

"Percy is alive," Chiron said once all the head counselors sat down quietly.

"What?" Annabeth got up immediately. "What did you say?"

"Percy is alive and on a quest," Chiron said. His eyes shone, and Leo knew he was as happy as them. His lost student was alive.

"What do you mean?" Thalia (the hunters didn't leave yet) asked. "Where is he now?"

"On a quest," Chiron repeated.

"How do you know that?" Annabeth asked. "I suppose Nico didn't contact Camp since he left to Camp Jupiter."

"As usual, you are right, Annabeth," Chiron said. "Percy himself told us this."

"Us?" Katie asked. "Percy contacted Camp?"

"No. Would you let me explain?" Chiron said.

Everybody went silence. "Thank you," Chiron said. "A few minutes ago Sally Jackson Iris-Messaged me."

"What did Sally want?" Annabeth couldn't control herself.

"Would you let me finish?" Chiron asked.

"Yes," Annabeth sat down. "Go on."

"Actually, I think I'd let someone else explain it," Chiron smiled. He took a bottle of water from the ping-pong table, and pure the water to his glass. He created a rainbow, and threw a golden darchma into it. "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow. Accept my offer and show me Sally Jackson, Manhattan."

A woman appeared in front of the demigods. She sat in front of a computer. She wore a white V-neck T-shirt, jeans and sandals. Her brown short hair was pulled in a ponytail, and she smiled like she just won three million dollars. "Hello, Chiron. Hi, Annabeth, Thalia and Grover and a bunch of other demigods."

Annabeth, Grover and Thalia said, "Hi Sally."

"Hello again, Sally," Chiron said. "Would you like to tell us about the phone call you got?"

"Yes, of course." Sally nodded. "I was sitting here, thinking about something I don't recall. The phone rang, but I didn't pick it up because I was busy and it was pretty late. And then I heard his voice in the voice – mail. I was shocked. Here, I'll let you hear it yourself."

Sally took the phone a pressed a bottom. "There you go," she said.

Someone talked. He said, "You reached the Blofis household. We can't answer right now, so leave a message after the bip." And then, "Bip."

"Mom," a younger voice said. Annabeth breathed heavily. She started crying, and Thalia hugged her. "Don't worry, Annabeth," she whispered. "He's going to be fine and you'll see him again."

"Hey, I'm alive. Hera put me to sleep for a while, and then she took my memory, and…"

"But he called! He remembers everything," Grover protested.

"Maybe he got them back," Jason suggested. He was jealous. How come he didn't get his memories so fast? Why was this Percy luckier?

"Anyway, I'm okay. I'm sorry. I'm on a quest –" Percy said.

"Oh, no," Annabeth groaned.

"I'll make it home. I promise. Love you." And he hung up.

Annabeth looked at everyone. "Thank you, Sally."

"You're welcome," Sally smiled and then disappeared.

"What are we doing now?" Butch wondered.

"Doesn't it obvious?" Thalia smiled. "We're having another party!"

So right after dinner, they had a big party. They told everyone about the news, so everyone was pretty much super – happy.

They danced. (Leo liked the part when Will put on 'Smash Mouth' by All – Star. It was one of his favorite songs.) As the Apollo kids were the DJ's. They laughed, and were having a great time. Of course Leo filmed everything. He didn't change much, after all.

After an hour and a half, he hide behind a bush and filmed Jason and Piper who were slow dancing to the sound of 'Safe and Sound' by Taylor Swift. It didn't take long before Jason leaned in and kissed her. It was so cliché Leo almost started crying. Piper seemed to enjoy the kiss, and when they broke apart, her cheeks were red.

Leo turned around quickly. He felt weird. But actually, he was jealous. No, he didn't want Piper to be his girlfriend. And hell no, he didn't want to date Jason. But he felt like he felt in the Wilderness School. He felt unwanted.

"Hi Leo," someone said behind him.

He turned around. "Hi Rachel."

"Why are you watching them? Don't you have anything else to do?"

"Hmm.. Yes?"

Rachel laughed. "Don't worry. I feel like you'll find what you wanted to find pretty soon."

"How do you know?" Leo asked, surprised.

"I'm an oracle. I know everything."

"What is my middle name?"

"You don't have one."

"Wow, you're good," Leo said.

"Thanks," Rachel smiled. "And yes."

"How did you know what I was going to ask?" Leo asked.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "I know everything."

"You got a point there," Leo said. He turned the camera toward Rachel, and said, "Here we are, hiding behind a bush. Rachel, say hi."

"Hi," Rachel smiled.

"So, as a celebration for Percy's phone call, we're going to have an interview with one of his best friends. Say hi to Rachel Elizabeth Dare, our oracle!"

"I already say hi," Rachel noted.

"Oh, right. So, Rachel, how did you get to Camp Half Blood? You're a mortal." Leo said.

"This time I got by car," Rachel joked. "But I guess you didn't ask about it. A few years ago, before I knew Percy, I visited Hover Dam with my cousins. Percy was there, too, and he accidentally almost killed me with Riptide."

"And you're still his friend? You are weirder than I am," Leo said.

"Thank you," Rachel laughed.

"You're welcome. Another question, why don't you have a boyfriend? I'm just wondering," Leo said.

"Nah, that's fine. I got over it a while ago," Rachel said. "I don't have a boyfriend because I'm the oracle. Oracles aren't allowed to date. I don't know why, though."

"Poor you."

"Thank you again for being conforming!"

"You're welcome."

"Leo, can I ask you a question?" Rachel asked after a minute.

"Yeah, sure."

"Why aren't you happy?" Rachel asked. She really seemed to care.

"Hmm, what? I am happy and all," Leo forced himself to smile.

"No, you're not. I can feel it. There's nothing you should be sorry for. You have friends, everything you want. You should thank the gods for it," Rachel said.

Leo was about to answer, but Annabeth appeared. "There you are, Rach. I've been looking for you for a while. Can I have a talk with you?"

"Yeah, 'course," Rachel said. "Think about what I said, Leo. Bye."

"Bye, Leo," Annabeth said, and walked away with Rachel.

Leo turned off the camera. "She's right. She knows everything."

I'm sorry for the bad chapter. I didn't actually feel like writing, but I had to update because I didn't want to make you wait too long.
