18. Pogo Sticks and Training

Hi guys! Today's my birthday! WOOHOO! April 25th is AWESOME! I did promise you a chapter so here you go! Training! Ish...
Anyways, I decided to call you my OWL ARMY! Thanks to Llew444 for the suggestion. :D Love ya! Not literally, but you know what I mean. It's like you have a huge crush on Percy, but you ship Percabeth harder. XD Anyways, let the story commence!

Leo's POV

I woke up to the sound of...hopping? I get out of bed to see Lesty with a...a...a POGO STICK!?

"Leo! Look. What. I. Found!" With every bounce she could only say one word.

"Lesty! What the heck are you doing?"

"Pogo. Sticking. What. Else?"

"Isn't it a bit dangerous?"

"Nope! I. Learned. How. To. Do. It. A. Long. Time. Ago!"

"Still! It could be- LESTY WHERE DID YOU GET THAT GUITAR!?"

Out of NOWHERE Lesty gets out a guitar and starts to play. And she's STILL BOUNCING!

"Leo. Calm. Down. I'll. Be. Fine!"

"Lesty, today's Training! We don't have time for pogo sticking!"

"Well. It. Ain't . My . Fault! I . Want . To. . Do . Something . Fun . On . My . Birthday!"

"It's your birthday?"

"Yeah! April. 25!" (A/N: Aprilicity, at least we got our wish! ;D)

"Oh. Happy Birthday!"

"Thanks! Now. Let's. Go. Before. Gret. Kills. Us."

She gets off the pogo stick (after finishing 'Say Something') and we head down for breakfast (after getting ready.)

"Celestine! Leo! Where have you been? Training's going to start soon!" Fusses Ellia

"Ellia, calm down. Me and Lesty are here. Let's just eat and get Training over with." (I'm sorry for the bad grammar, but knowing Leo, he'd say that. :P)

"Good point. Leo, you're going to have to eat, you'll need your energy." Gret interjects.

"Any tips?" Lesty asks.

"Make allies. Don't show off any of your...abilities. Learn things you don't know. Practice what you do know with each other and privately."

"Thanks." We both say. We don't really have much enthusiasm. We're talking about tactics that could save your life. Would you be in a good mood?

"Okay, time to go!" Ellia squeals. I have no idea why she's excited, but she fusses over us and takes us to the elevator, and presses the button. Soon, we enter the Training Center.

"Ready Lesty?" I ask, turning towards her.

"Read as I'll ever be."

So how was that? I know the beginning was WTH? (What The Heck) but percyrose89 wanted pogo sticks, so I gave them to her. Sorry if I make any mistakes, and I hope you have a great day!
