Charles Beckendorf sat outside Cabin 9, tinkering up a gift for his beloved, Silena. He sat there, thinking about her but his thoughts were interrupted by a voice shouting – it sounded like a bag of cats being hit with a baseball bat. Ok, maybe that was exaggerating a bit, but the voice was truly pathetic. As the source of the voice entered the room, Beckendorf was surprised that he wasn't surprised to see that it was Leo singing.
"BABY YOU LIGHT UP MY WORLD LIKE NOBOOOOODY ELSE! THE WAY THAT YOU FLIP YOUR HAIR GETS ME OOOVERWHELMED! BUT WHEN YOU SMILE AT THE GROUND IT AIN'T HARD TO TELL, YOU DON'T KNOW-O-O! YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE BEAUTIFU-!"
"LEO!" Beckendorf shouted. "What're you up to!?"
Leo grinned down at Beckendorf, "I was singing! Aren't I great?!"
"Umm….sure. But what's the singing for?"
"Well, you see," said Leo. "I wanted to ask this Diana chick from the Aphrodite cabin out and when I told Percy he said that I should sing her a song to woo her! How genius is that?! I should give that kid more credit."
"Well," said Beckendorf under his breath. "Percy's gonna make us all die one day, isn't he?"
"Sorry, what's that?" said Leo, not quite catching what Charles said.
"That's….great! Percy's truly a genius," said Beckendorf, covering up. "But wait. Diana? Do you even like her, Valdez?"
"Meh," Leo said. "She's got the good looks. That's all I need."
Beckendorf frowned, "Aright then, best of luck."
"Thanks, but I won't need it. Percy said I sound great!" and Leo ran off towards the Aphrodite cabin.
"Well then," Beckendorf muttered. "Percy and I both need to go to church and learn about truth sometime."
15 minutes later, Beckendorf had almost finished his gift for Silena when he heard a familiar voice singing and several Aphrodite children running around camp, screaming and begging for it to stop.
Beckendorf sighed and said, "Leo.."
