I thought it was it. Leo thought to himself miserably. I thought I was going to see her again. He slumped against his door and cursed to all the gods he could think of. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the crystal she had given him. He stared at it. All of a sudden, he had an idea. He raced to the steering room and saw a hole in the console. Maybe... he carefully placed the crystal in the hole. It fit! "Yes!" He cried quietly. Then it began to glow. He gasped. Coordinates showed up on the crystal. He immediantly punched them into the console. The warship began to whir. Excited once more, Leo stayed at the helm, watching the horizon. Slowly, his eyes grew heavy.
When Leo woke up he realised there was two figures in front of him. Jason and Piper. They were talking quietly to eachother. Leo caught snip it's of their conversation. "I'm worried...." "What's he looking for?" "Don't you mean who?" Leo sprang up hoping to snap them out of their conversation. "Oh hey Leo." Piper said. "Uh, we were wondering, what exactly are you looking for?" How I am going to answer this? Leo thought. They'll just laugh at me. "Nothing... well, you'll find out soon. I just have to see where this baby takes me." He said, while patting his console. "Okay. but how long?" Piper asked. "About a day." Leo mumbled back. She nodded and ran off to the dining hall with Jason. Leo sighed. It was going to be a long, long, long day.
By midnight it was raining and Leo still hadn't slept. "Leo?" Piper called, coming up the stairs. "Yeah?" Leo asked spinning around to face her. She had to hold back a gasp. He looked horrible. His eyes had dark circles under them and his hair was all over the place. But the worst part were his eyes. They were constantly drifting around. "Um, just wondering what you're doing." Leo sat down in a chair and stared at a crystal. He sighed. "Well, you're right, I am looking for someone. I need to get back to her and..." His voice cracked. He squeezed his eyes shut as a tear rolled down his cheek. Piper rushed forward and hugged him. "There, there. We'll find her." They stayed like that for a bit, then Leo said, "Thank you Piper. But you should really get back to bed." She hesitated. "Go." Leo instructed. "Okay." Piper went down to her bedroom. She plonked down on her bed. Great, time for dreams. She thought.
She was running down a dark hallway. She could only hear her panting as she ran. She didn't know what she was running from. Then she heard the scatter of feet. She stopped and froze. A dark figure lunged at her, covering her in darkness. She screamed. "It's okay. It's okay, Pipes. I'm here." When Piper opened her eyes, she saw Jason. "Jason-" Then she burst into tears. "It's okay." Jason whispered soothing things to her as she wept in his arms. She closed her eyes. He stood up and layed her on her bed, tucking her in. Jason kissed her forehead and was about to leave when piper grabbed his hand and whispered, "Don't go. Stay. Please." He nodded and sat next to her. She put her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her. She smiled. Soon they had fallen asleep in each other's arms.
"Hi!" Jason opened his eyes to see Leo's face just inches from his. He yelped in surprise. "Did you two have a nice sleep?" Piper shifted. Oh. "Oh Leo! You're disgusting!" But Leo just grinned. "Breakfast's ready. Just saying." And with that he walked out of the room. "Piper. Pipes. Time to get up." Jason said softly. Piper sturred and said something like, "Uh-duh." Then went back to snoring. He chuckled and gently lifted her off him. He went to the dining hall, grabbed a waffle and went up to the top. "Morning." He said to Hazel and Frank as he went by them. "Good morning." Hazel replied. He went straight to the helm. Sure enough, Leo was there. "Hi-" Leo suddenly jumped up into the air and ran over to festus. "Is it it buddy?!" He asked the dragon. Festus creaked and whirred in reply. "Have you found who you're looking for?" Jason asked. Leo paused before answering. "Well....you'll see." Festus clicked. "Below us?" Leo cried and ran over to the edge. He accidently fell overboard and Jason had to fly after him. Once they were safe and sound, Leo said, "Down there." and pointed below them. Jason looked down and saw an island. It was actually quite beautiful to Jason. Except for a crater on the side of the beach. "I've been here before." Jason jumped in surprise. Right beside him was Percy. "You've been here-?" Jason asked. Leo clapped his hands. "Right, let's go!" He ran to helm and whispered something to festus. Then, the Argo II lurched forward.
