Calypso invites Annabeth for a meeting at a Café for a talk. She hopes to apologize and possibly gain some dating advice. Annabeth accepted the invite so that she can talk to Calypso and hopefully bury the hatchet.

The following is a non-profit fanbase one-shot. PJO, HoO and ToA are owned by Rick Riordan and Disney Hyperion. Please support the official release.

Annabeth just entered the Café and scanned the room for Calypso. She was skeptical when she got a message from Calypso; considering that at one point, they both were in love with Percy and chose her in the end. However, She figure it's time to mend old wounds. As see looks around, she found Calypso at booth near the windows, looking out in open.

Annabeth walks towards her both and spoke.

"Hey..."

Her voice interrupted Calypso's train of thought and gained her attention.

"Annabeth... I'm glad you came," Calypso said as Annabeth sat down.

The waitress walked toward them and gave the menus to them.

"Would you two like a drink?"

Calypso asked for tea while Annabeth just asked for water. The waitress left with their orders and to get their drinks.

"I'm gonna be honest," Annabeth started. "This invite came by surprise. To be honest, I figured you wanted nothing to do with me. Considering what happened between you and... Percy."

Calypso nodded. "Yeah, I know. That's why I invited you. Percy was one of the reason."

"One of the reason?" Annabeth asked.

"You see... Leo told me that Percy told him that his mother would like to invite me for dinner someday. Since I saved her son, she wanted to say thank you."

Annabeth smiled, Sally was always a sweetheart to her and Percy's friends. Calypso is no exception.

"Sally is always like that. You should go anyways, you'll love her."

"Leo agreed too but..."

"But?"

Calypso was quiet for a moment and then took a deep breath.

"I really need to apologize for what I done to you and Percy. I heard from Leo of how you both went to Tartarus and my curse ended up hurting you and-"

"Woah hey! It's okay," Annabeth replied. "really."

"NO IT'S NOT!"

Calypso yelled as she stood up and slammed her hands on the table. She accidentally gained the attention of most of the customers in the Café. She sat back down and cleared her throat.

"Sorry... It just... I never meant to curse you. I was just so angry; I mean, I was abandoned again. And once again, it's because of my damn curse."

She sigh.

"I just... I just wanted to experience it."

"Love?"

She nodded.

"I... I just lost it after he left and..."

She sighed.

"I'm really, really, REALLY sorry. I never meant to hurt you or Percy."

Right on time, the waitress brought their drinks to their table. As soon as she left, Annabeth spoke, "Can I tell you something?"

Calypso nodded.

Annabeth took a deep breath and told her story, "I... have issues. Ever since I was little, I always felt left out, forgotten, abandoned. I ran away from home and met Thalia, Grover and Luke. Those two became family to me. Then Thalia died and later, Luke betrayed us."

She sighed.

"Everyone I knew and loved either leaves me or died. Nothing ever last."

"And Percy?" Calypso asked.

"Percy... was the one person that stayed by my side. Sure there was others that was there; but, Percy always had my back. Every quest we been to, every battle we endured; every monster we fought, he always had my back. Even when I was taken and kidnapped, he went on his own to save me. He kept me stand firm no matter what."

"You both been through a lot," Calypso comment.

"Yeah... we have."

"I can see why Percy would want to return."

"What I'm trying to say is, in a way, I kind of understood your pain. You see, around when Percy was in your island, I was lost. I felt like I was missing a part of myself. Then he came back, and I was so happy. But then he talked about you, how you helped him and got him back his feet."

"Annabeth..."

"At that moment, I was scared. I thought I was gonna lose him too. Then we just end up arguing more than usual."

Annabeth laughed.

"I think I just made it worse for everyone when I realized my own feelings. I made it worse for Percy, for the camp... and for you."

Annabeth gently grabbed one of Calypso's hand.

"I understand if you still have a grudge against me. Just know that, I'm also sorry for hurting you. And, I hope we can still be friends after today."

Calypso nodded, then let out a huge sigh.

"How did you do it?"

"What do you mean?" Annabeth replied.

"How did you and Percy managed to stay together after everything you've been through?"

"...I take it this is more than just an apology, isn't it?"

Calypso was silent, but it was enough to answer Annabeth's question.

"He misses you, you know?"

"Leo?"

Annabeth nodded. "A day doesn't go by without him talking about you. And the only time when he's not, he's at his workshop, making unique trinkets and such."

"...I miss him too," Calypso replied. "I miss his laughs, his smile... gods forbid, even his terrible jokes."

Annabeth snickered. "They are terrible jokes."

"But...'

"But?"

Calypso gripped tightly on her drink when she took a sip.

"What if I'm just a mistake? That maybe I'm just a burden for Leo; a promise he has to keep? What if he found someone more compatible than me? What if..."

"Calypso," Annabeth interrupted. "I get it. Believe me, I do."

Calypso stopped talking and apologized for her rambling.

"I'm sorry, it just... I can't lose him. I know I'm being selfish and complicated; but Leo gave me one thing no one else, even Percy, has given me... a future."

"The workshop?"

"Huh?"

"Back at camp. I went to tell Leo that it was lunchtime and found asleep on his desk. On it was a blueprint for a shop; it said-"

"Leo and Calypso's garage: Auto repairs and Mechanical monsters..."

"Yeah."

Calypso eyes started shine with tears she's barely holding back. "He remembers..."

Annabeth drank her cup and asked, "A promise?"

Calypso chuckled, "At first, it was just a joke. Something to make me laugh... and then, before he left my island, he said he can't make our shop without me. And it was at that moment..."

"When the raft arrives, huh?"

She nodded.

"I may be a titan, done terrible things in my past, tried to take loved men away from their loved ones. But Leo..." She sighed softly, "He gave me my freedom and so much more. He may not look the part, but he was a hero. A true hero."

Annabeth can see in her eyes how much she thought of Leo.

How much she truly loves him.

"And you're scared you're gonna lose him, huh?"

Her eyes shifted from love to fear. Fear of losing something dear to her.

"Yes, I'm scared. I'm scared to be alone again. I'm scared to be just a disappointment to Leo. I'm scare that...!"

She took another sip at her drink before she could start crying at the words she'll said.

"... that Leo regrets saving me from my island."

Annabeth watches her as she drinks her cup. Calypso may be a titan, but she's not evil. She may have attempted to persuade heroes to leave their destinies, but it was because she was alone. She may have fought with Leo many times after they escaped but...

"It's your first time."

"Huh?" Calypso replied.

"It's the first time you truly felt love."

"But..."

"Hear me out," Annabeth interrupted. "You see, all the other heroes, including Percy, were just there and you healed them because you believe it was right thing to do, right?"

"Well, y-yeah but-"

"But with Leo, it was different. With Leo, you didn't feel any love at first. It was just sheer annoyance and frustration at your own curse. But later on, he grew on you, fixed several of your stuffs and eventually treated you not as his savior or a nuisance. But, as an equal acquaintance; and the reason I know all this, is because it's like I said. Leo never shut's up about you," Annabeth laughed at the memory of Leo rambling about how he met Calypso and how she made him fall for her as time pass by. "So listen to what I have to say. No matter what anyone says, no matter what you think, Leo truly and deeply loves you. He never would've done what he did if he wasn't."

A small tear slipped out of Calypso eyes, but she managed to catch it and try dry out her eyes.

"Thank you, Annabeth. I guess I needed that."

"Calypso, trust me when I say this. There's no such thing as a perfect love. Not even Percy and me. Gods, we've been through so much worse together. The fact that we're both alive is miracle itself. Frank and Hazel are doing okay at New Rome and..."

Annabeth stopped talking before she can mention a fallen friend.

"...and Leo does truly love you. He just has... issues he need dealing with. But," Annabeth smiled at her. "Just being there for him, helping him cope with his demons. That's the best thing any of us can do for our other half's."

"Okay..." Calypso said, processing her advice and determining herself on patching things up with Leo. "Thank you Annabeth. I needed this."

"Of course, but hey, if anything else, If he does something stupid and needs to apologize, I can always call Piper and Hazel to 'persuade' him to apologize," Annabeth replied with a smirk with mischievous intent.

Calypso laughed.

The two later on enjoyed their drinks and talked about their activities in camps. Annabeth also talked to Calypso of how there are other mythologies existing such as Egyptian and Norse. Calypso was interested on knowing more of these other myths, since she's been out of touch for 3,000 years. Annabeth recommended her some books and will later lend some of hers for her.

The two were finally getting along, after the many issues they have been through in the past.

"Annabeth," Calypso spoke, "D-does Leo really talk about me?"

"Yeah... he really misses you, Calypso. So whenever you can, come and visit; Leo would finally get out his workshop and ACTUALLY spend time outside."

The two laugh at the comment. Then, Calypso spoked.

"Okay, I'll come visit. I need to talk to him about 'us'. I... I want make it work, no matter what. I know I'm not being a good girlfriend, or always argue with him. But, I truly love him. I love his smile; his optimism; his determination; and gods, even his terrible jokes."

Annabeth smiled. "They are pretty bad. But, I'm sure you two can work it out."

"Yeah, me too."

Author's Note:

I know, I know. Not my best writing. I was never good angsty stuff; always prefer fluffy and romantic stories or Action and adventuristic stories. But anyways, hope you enjoyed it at least. It was pretty short, but I also have announcement to make.

The next story is gonna be a Three-Shot AU story with Caleo as the center-point.

And where is it gonna take place you ask?

Well, none other than one of my favorite anime.

Dragon Ball Z.

I already have a plot for the Three-shot. It will take place just after the Dragon Ball Super: Broly movie. This will be my first time I ever wrote a DBZ story but not my first action story. I already got the scenes worked out, just need to get my characters worked out and then-

[Ring] [Ring]

Oh, just a sec.

[Answer]

Hello?

...what do you mean there's some complication?... What do you mean we're adding a producer?! I already got the script-... Seriously?! How much?!...oh... I guess, I can work with that. Alright, Who do you have in mind?

...No...

...No no no no no... NO!

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE?! ANYONE AT ALL?! What about Rian Johnson, or M. Night Shyamalan?! Heck, I'll take any of the amateur's!

...WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEY ALL BLEW UP! WHO COULD'VE...

[Sudden realization]

*Deep Breath*

Fine... I'll work with him. Maybe it'll distract me from the Anti-Caleo's that are making me lose faith in either Fandoms or Tumblr, sometimes both. When should I expect him?

...what do you mean he's on his way? You said-

Author: GOD DAMN IT NAPPAAAAAAAAAAA!

Dragon Ball Super: A Caleo Three-Shot AU

Directed by Saiyan98

Produced by Citizen Nappa

But for reals, it is just a normal Dragon Ball story involving Leo and Calypso. I will be working on it this holiday, but I also still have one more one-shot to make. It's a unique one for me.

Basically, it's an Isekai story where the MC was summoned from OUR world into the PJO world. There's more to the story, but for now it's just an Isekai story where the MC meets Calypso and realized where he is. He read the books so he knows the story. He also still has connection to his world by his phone; thus, ends up with Calypso looking at it ended up finding her... fans.

Also, head of warning. There will be some swearing. I don't know how much is allowed on a teen-rating fanfic so I'll try to minimize it as much as possible.
