Have fun reading this chapter and later, please review and tell me how you feel about.
If you haven't already, also read my friend's fanfic. It's called 'The Misadventures of a Bald Emo.'
I do not own the Heroes of Olympus because if I did, Calypso wouldn't still be imprisoned on Ogygia.
Leo: So you're telling me that I won't break the River Styx oath and turn into a tree?!
Me: Um… No, no, not at all. I was just saying that if I owned PJO, I would release Calypso from Ogygia.
Leo: Tell me what to do! Anything! I don't wanna be a tree!
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: A Chat with the Daughter of Love
"So basically, you're in love with an immortal girl who's stuck on an island for supporting the titans in the First War," Piper slowly said as she took it all in.
"And Calypso told me that no one could ever go to Ogygia twice or something like that," Leo added.
"It really isn't looking good for you but if my mom was here, she'd probably say something like, 'Oh, it doesn't matter because love will conquer all!" Piper mimicked her mother disdainfully.
"Yeah, so what do you think I should do?"
"Can't you IM her?" Piper suggested.
"Thank you so much for your help!" Leo yelped as he embraced his saviour.
Piper frowned and tilted her head. She was officially confused.
"Why didn't you think of that before? Wasn't that the obvious solution?"
Leo pondered over it and did a mental facepalm.
"Calypso mentioned that Iris Messages didn't work on Ogygia because it was cut off from the rest of the world… There goes that idea!"
"Leo, why don't you enchant the walls of the Dining Hall so that they show Ogygia instead of Camp Half-Blood? Besides, everybody gets homesick when they look at the walls anyway. It's not like anyone's going to miss them. And you could somehow get the sound too."
Leo started pondering again.
"I can't. To do that, I'll need connection between the two areas. Like say if her side has something metal or- I GOT IT! I GOT IT!"
Leo ran out Piper's room and into the control room. After flipping a few switches to make it look like he totally knew exactly what he was doing, Leo pulled out a few pieces of metal from his pocket and some wires out of the glove box. His utility belt was tightly strapped around his waist and Leo's welding goggles were stashed in the compartment underneath the cup holders.
He was ready for action.
Four hours and six burns later, Leo wasn't anywhere near done. His idea was to display an image or message streamed from the Argo II to a project that he was working on in Ogygia.
Hopefully, Calypso still visited his "man-cave" occasionally and would notice the message he left behind.
'She's probably too caught up in other work. Calypso's a goddess, for heaven's sake!' Leo thought. But when he thought about it again, he realised that it wasn't like she was busy doing other stuff. What was she going to do? Cook more beef stew? Make more lemonade? Tend to her garden?
One of his projects on Ogygia was making a TV so that he wouldn't be completely cut off from the outside world. Television was something he needed to survive. Besides, it was one of the only pieces of technology that didn't hate him. Demigods and technology didn't mix. Being a child of Hephaestus didn't actually help with that factor.
If Leo had the skills to reprogram it (which he does because Team Leo is awesome), he would be capable of communicating with Calypso provided that she had the device switched on… That could possibly be a problem.
It was finally complete. Leo has spent forever on it and used up most of his supplies but it was nevertheless complete.
He switched it on and found that Calypso hadn't done the same with the TV on her side.
If Piper wasn't good enough then he would simply have to go one step further.
Leo desperately needed help and he knew the right person to go to.
So guys, who do you think it is? I'm open to any suggestions in the reviews section and while you're at it, please tell me how you feel about this fanfic.
