Hi! It's so great that you are actually reading this. Thanks for clicking 'The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot' and bothering to read this far!
Please read through the chapter and later review to tell me how you feel about it.
I most definitely do not own Percy Jackson because if I did, Luke would still be alive and well.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Cravings for Lemonade and Stew
Being back with his friends was great and all but he couldn't help but miss being with Calypso.
He wanted to be back I his shed working hard and sweating while Calypso worked beside him. He honestly missed her lemonade and stew. The enchanted dishes and glasses on the Argo II simply couldn't compare to her homemade cooking.
'Her cooking really is good,' he mused. Then he realised that when you were under solitary confinement on an island for thousands of years, what else was there to do?
He sighed woefully and wondered if the rest of his life was to be filled with woeful sighs. 'Calypso wouldn't want me to sulk around.' Guidance Counsellor Mode was back, and the worst thing was that he was trying it on himself.
'There's no hope for me,' he thought. 'What kind of a sixteen year old boy am I? I'm worried about girls and feelings! Gross!' He decided that he was simply going to have to man up and suck it up. He could secretly try and find his way back to the island without the others finding out.
Obviously, Jason just had to come in at the 'right' moment.
"So where were you while you were gone?" Jason asked solemnly. Jason looked more like a rebel now that he had a groove in his haircut and the scar on the side of his lips was adding to the bad boy look.
'I'm supposed to be the bad boy around here,' he complained in his head. 'Team Leo and Bad Boy go together, right?'
"Er, I uh, crashed landed on an island…"
"And where exactly was that?"
"Er, I don't really know."
"Then how did find your way back?"
"Oh… Er… I… Er… Just walked around and asked random strangers."
"M-hmm…" Jason said with one very, very raised eyebrow. "Tell me the truth."
Leo didn't really know what to do. If he told, he was scared that the memory of Calypso wouldn't be as special to him. If he didn't… Well a son of Jupiter. Alone in a room. No witnesses. You do the math.
After his first quest with Jason and Piper, he knew that he could really trust both off them even though their stories were way more interesting than his.
"Ogygia."
"What about Ogygia?"
Leo gave a large sigh and let it all out.
"I crash landed on Ogygia where a Titan's daughter named Calypso is being imprisoned because she supported her father in the first war. She hated me and I hated her and then she had awesome food and fire-proof clothes and then she helped me with building a raft and gave me my jacket and I'm in love with her!" Leo was very surprised that he didn't explode from his heart thumping like fireworks. Being ADHD really didn't help.
"So basically, you fell in love with an immortal?"
"Your point?!"
"Nothing…" Jason said with a brooding look. "How are you going to get back to her?"
"I can't. She said that no man ever finds Ogygia twice."
"I know that look. You're still going to try right?
"I have to… Because I swore on the River Styx."
Jason gasped dramatically.
"But you just said that no man ever find Ogygia twice!"
"Nope. She said that. But I will rescue Calypso from Ogygia one day. Besides, after swearing on the River Styx, I really don't have a choice, do I?" Leo said casually.
"And what about that crystal you mentioned earlier?"
From one of his pockets on the jacket, Leo pulled out the crystal that Calypso had chinked out of her cave for him.
"With this, the navigational device should work."
"Should? Should doesn't really reassure me," Jason nervously told Leo.
Leo smirked.
"With my mad skills, what could possibly stop us?"
Jason opened his mouth to reply but Leo clamped his hand over it.
"It was a rhetorical question."
