Chapter Five: What A Reunion
I don't know how long I've been sailing, but at least my machine is working, and I just let this magical boat handle it all.
And my thoughts wander back to Calypso. . .
I wonder if she's thinking of me. And I never really knew what she thought of our kiss.
My thoughts wandered that I didn't notice that I was nearing land.
"Well," I thought to myself, "It's good to be back, but it would've been better if I had Calypso with me."
I parked the boat at the farthest side of the dock, where I'm pretty sure they would be able to see me.
Leaving the machine and the other stuff in the boat, I made my way to a small cafe. I ordered some coffee, just trying to take my mind of Calypso, but the smell of the coffee still reminded me of her. Which is. . .weird?
Jason and the others will be here soon.
Calypso
I watched him disappear. Standing there until I lost sight of him. Then I went running, running as fast as I could. Away, from this. . .
I cannot bear it anymore. . .
I took it all in when Drake left me. . .
I took it all in when Odysseus left me. . .
I took it all in when Percy left me. . .but I was near losing my mind then. . .
Leo. . .Leo was the last stroke, I can't hold it in anymore, my loneliness is killing me. . .
Drake, Odysseus and Percy. . .were nothing compared to Leo. This is love.
And I've fallen in love.
With Leo.
And I fell, hard.
The next thing I know, I'm in my bed. Crying away.
Jason
I scan the boats parked in the dock, when I get to the last boat, I knew right away that it was Leo's by the bronze machine like thing strapped in the boat.
"Hey guys, come on, I bet he's at the small cafe near the dock."
"Who?" Said Piper.
"Our mechanical guy, you know, short, curly haired, looks like Santa's little elfino's. . .call the others, would you?"
We arrived at the small cafe. And see Leo sitting there, drinking coffee. Looks like he saw us immediately.
Weird thing is, he would've run to the boat and ask if the Argo II was fine. . . And he would normally tap his hands around, making beats, just for the sake of something to do. But now his hands were calm on the table.
Something happened with Leo while he was gone.
The others seem to notice this too, especially Piper and Hazel.
"Leo!" Squealed Piper, crushing him in a big hug. And came next Hazel.
"Whoa, ladies, ladies. . .calm down. You do know I can't breath-", Leo was cutoff by Piper going all motherly on his butt.
"Leo! Where have you been? Are you all right? We've all been worried sick!"
Then Coach Hedge too.
"Nice to see you again, cupcake!"
Then he suddenly remembered his reputation for being tough.
"If you ever do that again, cupcake, I'm gonna send you back to Camp the hard way!"
There's also Nico patting his back.
Then I noticed his clothes.
"Leo where did you get those clothes?!", I said.
I see him trying to ignore my question.
"Uh. . .long story. . ."
He gave me a look that said; not here, not in front of them, later.
Oh yeah, something definitely happened to him.
And I'll figure it out later.
OK, moving on.
Then Coach Hedge goes and tells the story of Piper, defeating Khione.
And me with the horses.
Leo's just nodding, trying to pay attention, and puts on a smile, but it doesn't work, cause everyone notices this.
Then we see something flash in the distance.
"Did you guys see that?", I said.
"See what?" says everybody except for Nico and Hazel.
In other situations this would've been funny.
"It's the Doors of Death, they're bringing the monsters out." Nico said. "But that's impossible. We aren't even near yet."
Frank grabs a nearby brochure, and starts reading.
