Thank you very much for reading all the way to Chapter 7!

Please also read my friend's fanfic, 'The Misadventures of a Bald Emo' if you haven't already.

Feel free to review once you're done reading the chapter.

I do not own PJO or HoO, right Percy?

Percy: Who cares about whom owns my life story when I'm stuck in Tartarus?!

Annabeth: Honey, calm down… You're high blood pressure…

Percy: Sure sweetie. TheGoddessOfDuckTape does not own PJO.

Annabeth: She's not really a goddess is she…?

The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: Love is Pathetic

"Please help me, you have to! Please do this favour for me!" Leo cried. He was practically begging on his knees.

"Seeing as it's for the sake of love, I'll help you Leo. Well… I'm off. I'm glad we had this chat. Ta!" Aphrodite said casually.

Ta? Seriously? Ta? That was like saying toodles. It was kind of pathetic but how could Leo say that in front of her face? It was a pity… Leo was far too much of a gentleman to tell her that.

"Thank you so much! I love you! No! I love Calypso more! I am forever in your debt! I'll do anything to repay you! No wait! I don't wanna give you a drop of my blood and let you enslave me forever! NO!" Leo was whining and on the border of wailing.

Aphrodite chuckled at Leo's inappropriate behaviour and sighed. "The things that I'd do for love."

Leo sat in front the television desperately wanting it to light up.

He hoped that Aphrodite would hurry up and fulfil his only wish (Only wish as in the only one that didn't involve becoming the emperor of the world or a harem of attractive females). It was a tiny favour.

The screen flickered and showed the cave but that wasn't the first thing he noticed. Of course, the first thing he noticed was the most beautiful girl on the planet. But when Leo thought about it, was Ogygia actually on the planet? 'Okay,' he thought, 'Scratch that. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen was on the other side of the message.'

"C-C-Calypso? Is that you?" Leo stuttered. He was inches away from hugging and kissing the screen.

"How did you do it? This must be really hi-tech if you managed to make a connection from Ogygia to the rest of the world," Calypso said in awe.

Leo blushed furiously. After the farewell kiss, he felt even more awkward than usual around her. 'I guess kisses just make things awkward between anyone. Gotta impress her. Gotta impress her,' he yelled inside his head.

"Uh, I just did a bit of rerouting and frequency adjusting. Er… and then I had to rewire a TV back on the Argo II and the-"

"Just stop Leo."

He blushed like a tomato. That usually only happened he got really caught up on a new machine or project.

"You're telling me that you did all that complicated stuff just to talk to me?"

She looked surprised and taken aback. No one had ever done anything special just for her.

"Yeah…" Leo said slowly, scratching his head. "Uh, I just wanted to talk about starting Leo and Calypso's Auto Repair. You know… Fresh fruits and vegetables, lemonade and stew, singing and bursting into flames…

"I worked so hard to get rid of you and now I have to put up with you again?!" Calypso joked.

Leo feigned a look of shock and horror.

"I am hurt that you would think that!" he said sarcastically and sassily.

The two of them shared a chuckle.

"Just like old times, hmm?"

"Just like old times."

Leo spent hours with Calypso across the TV.

They had a conversation filled with laughter and a lot of catching up. There were stories to tell about adventures (from Leo) and reports on how the vegetation was growing (from Calypso).

Frank had to drag Leo away from the "Supreme Commander's" room. The girls were worried because he had already missed two meals. Personally, Frank couldn't care less but he was just doing it for Hazel's sake.

The things people did for love… It really was pathetic.

Thank you for reading! :D
