Hey guys I'm back! Great job on the 29000+ views and thank you for all the response I got from the last chapter. It must've been like, super controversial and shocking or something. Well, I got affected by crash of the fanfiction site so I wasn't able to post yesterday.
The Adventures of a Lovesick Idiot: The Crystal
'Am I alive?' Leo thought to himself. He looked down at his hands and turned them over to check himself for any damage taken.
"I like pie," Jason murmured.
Leo knitted his eyebrows together. Was that Jason? Talking about pie? He got up from his position on the ground and looked over his shoulder to see a blonde mop of hair lying also on the ground, unconscious.
"No Darth Vader! It's my lemon blueberry pie!" he exclaimed, "Mine… No, it's mine!"
To be honest, Leo was really concerned. Really concerned. He turned his head back to the front to see all his friends minus one Nico di Angelo with their jaws dropped on the floor.
"Hey dudes!" Leo greeted them with a wave. "And girls," he added when he say the expression that Annabeth was giving him.
Percy sighed and swung Jason's body over his shoulder only to realise that he was too weak to carry a hundred and thirty pounds of muscle seeing as his kneecaps were buckling under the pressure.
"Uh… Frank? Little help here?"
Together, grabbed either end of Jason and hauled him back to the Argo II.
"He must work out a lot to be that heavy," Frank commented.
"I know right!" Percy agreed.
Leo ran his fingers through this hair. And now here came the hardest part, they needed to get back to Camp Half Blood. And soon. Preferably by the end of the day if they wanted Camp Half Blood to still be standing by the time they got there.
"I think I know how to get back to Camp," Piper suggested as if she was just reading Leo's mind.
Everyone's attention focussed on her.
"Well don't tell us," Hazel said sarcastically.
"We can call my mum!" she told them all.
"I still don't get how this is going to work," Leo grumbled while munching on his cookie. "How is Aphrodite supposed to magically transport us from Greece back to Long Island Sound?"
"Actually, I think I get it," Percy said. "It's like that time I sacrificed the fur of the Nemean lion to my dad for the save transport of Grover and Bessie."
Blank faces were shared across the entire room.
"Oh right, none of you were actually there," he deducted. "Point is, if you sacrifice something like, mega important, you'll get this equally mega favour in return."
"So in this case, what are sacrificing?" Hazel asked.
And for once, there was complete and utter silence until Leo thought of it.
"Ooh! I know, I've got something!" Leo yelled joyfully.
"What? You're cookie?" Piper asked confused, gesturing to the triple chunk choc-chip Leo was holding.
"No, this crystal!" he said in a duh tone of voice. He pulled out the
"We all know that my mother loves jewellery but do you really think that she'll transport us halfway around the world for a dumb jewel?"
"No, but what if it was a magical navigational crystal?" he asked.
"Right," Percy sassed, "And I'm a magical mythological creature."
"Seaweed brain?" Annabeth addressed. "We are magical mythological creatures."
"Oh, right…"
"Point is, this crystal is super important and Odysseus along with several other Greek heroes would've killed to have this!"
"Do you think it'll be enough?" Hazel asked the group.
"There's only one way to find out," Piper said nonchalantly. "Oh mum~" she called.
And with a flash of light, Aphrodite appeared. Only it wasn't Aphrodite, but maybe it was Aphrodite at the same time.
"Okay, who are you and what have you done to my mum?" Piper demanded.
"Why I'm the lady Venus of course," introduced the stunning woman in her emerald green gown.
"Eh, same difference," Leo shrugged. He held up his crystal in his hand. "If I give you this crystal, can you teleport us to Camp Half Blood?"
"What do you think I am? A walking teleporter?!" she shrieked.
"Look closer," Leo told her.
"What am I supposed to see besides a-" Venus seemed to realise what the boy was hold. "Oh. My. Gaga! Is that a crystal chipped from a cave on the island of Ogygia?! This could've brought so many couples together and torn so many apart! That is like, sooooooooo romantic."
"So will you help us or not?" Annabeth asked, crossing her arms over her chest defensively.
Venus seemed to swallow her pride.
"I shall assist you on your quest when I have two conditions met," she commanded. "One, you give me the magical and sparkly crystal." She outstretched her hand and Leo plopped the gem into her open palm. "And two, you all have to compliment me on my beauty. One compliment from each of you, and two is you can manage it."
Everyone rolled their eyes, different goddess of love, same vanity. What kind of a five thousand year old being actually cared about this sort of stuff? Oh right, this one.
"You look pretty," Leo said bluntly.
"You have a, uh… wonderful sense of fashion?" Hazel forced out.
"You're the prettiest girl I have ever seen," Percy said as if he was in a deep trance until Annabeth nudged him in his gut. Hard. "Apart from you of course," he added hastily. "You know what I meant."
"I like your hair," Annabeth called out before dragging her squealing boyfriend away by the ear.
"Your eyes have a fascinating colour spectrum," she told Venus.
Frank gulped. He had to be sure to compliment Venus enough to satisfy and not too much to make Hazel mad at him like Annabeth was mad at Percy. Frank was a man who learned from the failure of others.
"I wish I had the figure to pull off that dress," he said at last.
And lucky Jason. Fortunately for him, during this whole fiasco, he was unconscious. Lucky him!
"Meow," he murmured. "I'm a marshmallow."
Sorry for the slightly shorter chapter today but it's really late and I really wanted to update tonight and I really want to sleep now.
Don't forget to follow, fave or review. I honestly wouldn't blame you if you flamed me seeing as I'm so sleepily typing this right now. Urgh, I still have school tomorrow…
BRING ON THE FLAMES, COS UNCLE LEO'S HERE!
The Goddess of Duck Tape out~
Good Night.
