Leo's Perspective

So far this day has sucked. First, I fall off my own ship, then I almost get my head hacked off by an over sensitive she-devil, and finally I meet the people who were originally my best friends', best friends. I was 100% done with this! I was going to explode! No, better, I was going to jump off Mt. Olympus! Oh Gods, I wish my friends were here!

"Leo, will you hand me my bag?" Piper asked.

"Whatever you say, beauty queen." Leo joked, handing Piper her brown, over the shoulder Aeropostale bag. Piper just rolled eyes in annoyance. She hated it when he called her that. Leo walked over to the steering wheel of the large floating ship. He grabbed the sides and closed his eyes. A smile spread across his face. This was the ship he built. He had used the head of his dragon, Festus, and mounted it on the front. He steered the boat through the clouds. The wind blew through his ragged brown hair. He could feel the moisture from the clouds on his cheeks. He imagined soaring through the sky. He was free and weightless. All of a sudden, his thoughts were interpreted by a familiar voice.

"Leo? You okay?" His friend, Jason, asked.

Leo's eyes shoot open. He looked wildly at Jason. His mind was pulled back to reality.

"Dude, did you have to interrupt my daydream?" He cried, very annoyed.

"Sorry, man, but I was wondering if I could talk to you?" He said, seriously. He sounded worried about something.

"Sure just a sec," Leo turned to the passengers. "We're almost over the camp, everyone!" Leo shouted loudly. Annabeth glanced up, franticly. Her eyes were red and puffy and she looked as if she hadn't sleep in forever. She quickly ran toward the edge and glanced over, down below to get a look at the camp where she would be reunited her boyfriend. It had been eight months since she had last seen him. Leo couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He turned his attention back to Jason.

"Okay, what's up?" He asked, leaning back on the wheel.

"I'm a little nervous about going back to Camp Jupiter." He admitted. His voice a little shaky. Leo perked up, suddenly interested.

"How come?" He wondered. Jason spread his hands apart.

"Well, there's this...girl. Before I left I was becoming closer and closer to her. And I don't know if she has feelings for me and I don't know if I have feelings for her." He looked at Leo to make sure he was following this. He knew Leo was ADHD, so with him you never knew. Ever since they began their long journey to Rome, Jason had started regaining his memory. He had remembered his friends, Frank and Hazel, and now this girl. Leo wanted to hear more.

"So this girl...what's her name?" Leo asked.

"Renee. And we were kind of more than friends." He was shaking so hard, Leo thought he might erupt like a volcano. Of course, Leo had to make fun of it.

"So...does Piper know about Renee?" He asked in a sing-song kind of voice. Jason stared at him, trying to figure out what he was getting at. Once he realized it, his eyes widened.

"Leo, you wouldn't!" Jason cried, stepping closer to him.

"Really? Because I think I would." He said mocking Jason. He began to walk over to where Piper was sitting. She was sitting on a small bench on the edge of the vast ship.

"Hey, Piper!" He called over to her. "Did you know Jason has a-" Before he could finish his sentence, Jason clamped his hand over Leo's mouth. He quickly pulled Leo back toward the side while leaving Piper with a confused look on her face.

Once safely on the side, out of the crowd of people, Jason removed his hand.

"Dude!" He yelled with angrier.

Leo laughed. "Sorry, man, but I had too!"

"I'm serious!"Jason cried.

"Okay, I'm sorry," Leo admitted. "So, what are going to do?"

Jason shook his head. "I don't know. I hoping when I see her, I'll realize if I have feelings for her or if I don't." He answered.

Suddenly, Annabeth yelled something over to them.

"Cannonball!" She cried. Everybody had ducked. Before Leo knew what was happening, he saw a large shiny sphere headed right toward Jason. Jason wasn't aware of the cannonball. Leo had to act quick. he leaped at his friend and have him a huge shove in the other direction.

"Hey, what was that for!" Jason yelled. He looked angry, but suddenly his face expression turned to fear. "Leo, look out!" But it was to late. The cannonball rammed into Leo's gut. Leo cried in pain as the ball pushed him backwards. He stumbled and fell backward. They had been to close to the side. Leo tumbled over the edge.

"Leo!" Jason cried. That was the last thing Leo heard before he plummeted to the ground.
