Sorry!
I didn't get any relevant reviews so I decided on the next featured character on my own! Thanks for reading anyway.
I do not own PJO because if I did, it would be a laughing stock for all its punctuation and grammatical errors.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Makeover Magic
"O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, accept my offering," Leo chanted as he threw a golden drachma into the mist. Now in this case, we are talking about "mist-mist" and not the Mist.
"Show me Aphrodite, the goddess of love at Mount Olympus."
The rainbow shimmered and the most beautiful woman in the whole world showed up. Leo vigorously shook it off. He was in love with Calypso and this goddess couldn't compare to her.
But Leo Valdez couldn't help but gaze at her kaleidoscope irises. She had the same mesmerising eyes as her daughter did.
Aphrodite's image flickered and showed a famous celebrity Leo had a crush on in third grade. It wasn't until then that he realised that she had pretty, blonde ringlets. That was scary. There was no way he would look at her the same way ever again if she had the same hairstyle as the girl who always looked like she wanted to kill him (Annabeth).
"Leo Valdez, I admire your loyalty to Calypso," Aphrodite said gracefully. It seemed as if the words just floated out of her mouth. "And you're drooling," she added.
Leo quickly wiped the area around his mouth with his already dirty sleeve which resulted in machine grease all over his face.
"Uh, Leo? You've got a little something everywhere," the beauty exclaimed as she gestured all over her own face.
Leo was starting to get agitated.
"You know what Leo? Just forget about that. I'll come over right away and give you a makeover," Aphrodite said reassuringly. She squealed over the excitement of having the opportunity to give Leo a complete makeover.
Leo started to complain, "But Your Highness, I only wanted to talk to you abo-"
"Yes Leo, I know. We'll have that chat as soon as I come over. Kay?" the goddess of love told him.
It made Leo feel better. Not a lot, but better nonetheless.
"So Leo, let's start with hair, shall we?" Aphrodite asked. Though the question seemed like it was directed towards Leo, Aphrodite was in actually talking to herself. A short, scrawny boy like him would require a lot of work. It could need hair gel.
"I think I've figured out the perfect style for you.
"I don't get a say in this do I?" Leo half-whimpered.
"You don't if you still want my advice about Calypso. How about that makeover now?" Aphrodite said smiling. She knew that she had won.
"Fine."
Leo looked at himself in the floor-length mirror that Aphrodite had brought along with her. There sure were perks of being a major goddess.
"Are you sure that hair gel's my style?" Leo asked. He was really uncertain about his new look. Aphrodite had told him that every girl loves a bad boy but Leo really didn't know how Calypso would feel. "Are you sure that Calypso even likes a bad boy?"
"Leo, honey. Everybody loves a bad boy." Aphrodite stretched the word loves into two syllables.
He looked at himself in the mirror again. His hair was upright and unruly with help from A LOT of hair gel. Leo wore a short sleeve T-shirt with fake long sleeves because Aphrodite said that layering was "so totally in the now." Under that, was a pair of black skinny jeans and knee length boots.
Aphrodite contemplated his new look.
"I'm just going to throw on a leather jacket. Perfect!" she squealed.
But Leo hated it. Absolutely hated it.
He looked like Nico di Angelo the emo. Leo didn't want to be emo!
"Your Highness, I don't want to be emo!" Leo yelped.
"What do you mean?" Aphrodite asked as she stepped back. "Hm… I see your point." She sighed deeply. "Oh well, there goes my idea of making you a bad boy… Why don't we try a casual look now?"
Leo praised the gods. Nemesis, Tyche and Fortuna were finally acknowledging his existence!
'Halleluiah-leluiah-leluiah. Halleluiah-leluiah-leluiah,' Leo sang in his head.
Aphrodite waved her hand over Leo and his leather jacket disappeared. Replaced his knee length boots was a pair of slightly shabby sneakers.
Aphrodite sighed again, but this time with contentment.
"I guess casual really is your style… Now, about your little chat."
Thanks so much for reading so far. Remember this is my first fanfic so don't expect impressive stuff like fireworks, okay?
