I'm so sorry about the lack of updates and the shortness of the chapter, but I went on a school fieldtrip, which sucked by the way, and I only just got back. And I'm reading Mockingjay, so I didn't have much free time when I got home!

Leo's pov

I still maintain that I could have taken her, alas my gentlemanly manners, and her sword prevented me from doing so.

I suppose I should have prepared myself better for her temper tantrum, but honestly I think she over-reacted just a teeny-tiny, little bit, but maybe this isn't the best place to begin.

Okay, let's start at the beginning. I was standing around at the party, which really wasn't swingin' yet, wearing my sexy Tony Montana costume, which I chose basically because I get to wear a sexy suit and carry a machine gun.

I was drinking punch and third wheeling with Jason and Piper, who were giving each other sickening moony looks, when Chris burst through the door of the building which had been erected for the dance, a familiar wild look in her eyes. I have to say she looked quite resplendent (but not as hot as me) in the red sparkly dress and purple elbow-length gloves (damn, she must have ditched the high heels).

"I know you're in here somewhere Valdez." She growled her flaming eyes darting around the room.

Good, she hadn't spotted me yet, I could still escape!

"He's over here!" shouted one of the Stoll brothers, pointing directly at me. You can laugh now Travis, I'll get Katie to beat you up later.

The second her eyes caught me, Chris's lips curled into a vindictive smile.

"Jason, Piper help!" I pleaded, turning around to find nothing but empty space. The bastards had abandoned me, probably to go make out somewhere. I thought bitterly as I dashed through the room, hotly pursued by my date, who was waving around a rather vicious looking sword.

She chased me twice around the room, over the drinks table, under the food table, through the Apollo cabin's DJ booth and out the door, before she finally managed to corner me by the Hermes cabin. Well, if I was going to get beaten up, at least it wouldn't be in front of everyone else.

"Please, have mercy." I cried as I dropped to my knees in a display of (mostly) mock terror.

Slowly her left eyebrow raised in exact synchronization with her sword. Damn, that blade was sharp, but she was really hot, in a strange, scary, murderous type of way. Okay Leo my boy, probably not the best time to be thinking about that.

"Give me the gun." She said, smirking as she gesticulated towards the machine gun prop I still clutched in my hands.

"It doesn't work." I said, slowly handing it to her.

"Nah, that's fine." She replied, then winking she said "my brothers don't know that, I could probably sell it for ten drachmas."

"Sooo, you don't want revenge?" I asked uncertainly.

"Oh, I already did, you're sitting in a pile of pegasus crap." She replied, smirking. Evil bitch.

"What?" I shouted, leaping up in disgust.

"Got ya." She retorted, laughing as she ripped off her gloves.

"Evil harpy." I shot back, grinning.

"Idiot." She said, grinning.

"Moron."

"Butt face." She shot back.

"Really, butt face, that's the best you can come up with? Where did you go to high school?" I asked, throwing my arm around her shoulders and laughing.

"I didn't, but the insults I learnt from my brothers seemed a little too rude." She replied, leaning into me.

She smelt like flowers. I guess those Aphrodite girls must have given her something which masked the scent of (what I hoped was) her brother's sweat.

"I think I can take it." I laughed.

"I don't you can Valdez."

"So we're back on last name basis are we Matthews?" I asked, jostling her playfully.

"Of course." She sniggered, giving my cheek a quick peck.

"Now come on" I shouted, throwing my hands in the air "Let's get this party started!"

Okay, so while I was on a boat coming back from my fieldtrip I got bored and wrote another ficlet called 101 reasons Leo hates Reyna, SO READ IT!
