Leo stood on the deck of the Argo 2, yet...he wasn't really there. No, his mind was flying through memory after memory, with no paticular pattern. He was a little boy drawing a crayon picture of a ship...then he was in the house of hades running through a never ending maze...his thoughts snapped back to reality as he heard his friend, Jason, call his name.

"Leo, come here", Leo obliged, still In a slightly groggy state. "What can a help you with sir?" Leo replied with a mock bow.

"Well if sir sarcasm isn't to busy, maby he would like to fix the engine? Leo sighed and started down the stairs. As he passed the cabins he noticed percy and annabeth sharing a quiet moment, and later, Frank and hazel talking about Camp Jupiter

Leo couldn't help but sigh, how long he had wanted something like that..now he had it. Or did he? He didn't know. As he passed the last of the cabins, he stopped at one paticular door, he knocked hesitantly, before hearing a soft "come In"

He entered and was greeted by the sight of Calypso, rising to a sitting position on the soft mattress. She greeted him, "what may I do for you on this fine day?" "The engine is acting up, and just two days before reaching camp half blood, too!"

She stood up and stated, "well an engine is no problem for my little engineer." He laughed, " thanks Caly" she glared in mock anger, "how many times have I told you not to call me Caly?" He said "once more,Caly"

She sighed, "your treading on thin wire Valdez." "Now go fix that engine, or else we wont be going any where!"
"See you...Caly", he said with a little impish grin, and he left heading for the engine.
