“It's useless to lecture a human.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “I learned a long time ago: never bet against Annabeth.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Keep climbing,' he told himself. 'Cheeseburgers,' his stomach replied. 'Shut up,' he thought. 'With fries,' his stomach complained.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “You speak horse?" Hazel asked. "Speaking to horses is a Poseidon thing," Percy said. "Uh, I mean a Neptune thing." "Then you and Arion should get along fine," Hazel said. "He's a son of Neptune too." Percy turned pale. "Excuse me?” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Brother,” Artemis chided. “You do not help my Hunters. You do not look at, talk to, or flirt with my Hunters. And you do not call them sweetheart.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Not knowing is half the fun," Aphrodite said, "Exquisitely painful isn't it? Not being sure who you love and who loves you? Oh, you kids! It's so cute I'm going to cry!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “THAT'S IT!" Terminus cried. "That's AGAINST THE RULES!" Polybotes frowned, obviously confused that he was being told off by a statue. "What are you?" he growled. "Shut up!" He pushed the statue over and turned back to Percy. "Now I'm MAD!" Terminus shrieked. "I'm strangling you. Feel that? Those are my hands around your neck, you big bully. Get over here! I'm going to head-butt you so hard--” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “What I did next was so impulsive and dangerous I should've been named ADHD poster child of the year.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Gabe scratched his double chin. 'Maybe if you hurry with the seven-layer dip...And maybe if the kid apologizes for interrupting my poker game.' Maybe if I kick you in your soft spot, I thought. And make you sing Soprano for a week.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Dude! said a party pony as he unloaded his gear. Did you see that bear guy? He was all like: 'Whoa, I have an arrow in my mouth!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Right," she said, "We're going to the Land of the Dead and I shouldn't think negative.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Boys are usually forbidden to have any contact with the Hunters. The last one to see this camp…” She looked at Zoe. “Which one was it?” That boy in Colorado,” Zoe said. “You turned him into a jackalope.” Ah, yes.” Artemis nodded, satisfied. “I enjoy making jackalopes…” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Hmm…” Jason snapped his fingers. “I can call a friend for a ride.” Percy raised his eyebrows. “Oh, yeah? Me too. Let's see whose friend gets here first.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Hercules used noise! Brass bells! He scared them away with the most horrible sound he could-" said Percy "Percy... Chiron's collection!” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Husband, we talked about this," Persephone chided. "You can't go around incinerating every hero. Besides, he's brave. I like that." Hades rolled his eyes. "You liked that Orpheus fellow too. Look how well that turned out.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Annabeth?” Percy said again. “You’re planning something. You’ve got that I’m-planning-something look.” “I don’t have an I’m-planning-something look.” “Yeah, you totally do. Your eyebrows knit together and your lips press together and—” “Do you have a pen?” she asked him.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Percy blinked. “So your brother is a winged horse. But you’re also my half brother, which means all the flying horses in the world are my…You know what? Let's’ forget it.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Since Percy’d lost his memory,his whole life was one big fillin-the-blank. He was____________________, from____________________. He felt like ____________________, and if the monsters caught him, he’d be____________________.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Percy was getting tired of water. If he said that aloud, he would probably get kicked out of Poseidon’s Junior Sea Scouts, but he didn’t care.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “You know how teachers tell you the magic word is 'please'? That's not true. The magic word is 'puke'. It will get you out of class faster than anything else.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Like your zodiac sign?" Percy asked. "I'm a Leo." "No, stupid," Leo said. "I'm a Leo. You're a Percy." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “You drool when you sleep.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "'Aphrodite,' she said. 'Venus?' Hazel asked in amazement. 'Mom.' Piper said, with no enthusiasm. 'Girls!' The goddess spread her arms like she wanted a group hug." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "'Valdez,' said Coach Hedge, with surprising gentleness. 'Let me take the wheel. You've been steering for two hours.' 'Two hours?' 'Yeah give me the wheel.' 'Coach?' 'Yeah kid?' 'I can't unclench my hands.'" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PART TWO IS COMING OUT!!!
Update: Oct. 8, 2020 Why are people suddenly attracted to this project?! ALL CREDIT TO RICK RIORDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Many more to come* ~This quote is the best, so I'm putting it here~ “Let us find the dam snack bar," Zoe said. "We should eat while we can." Grover cracked a smile. "The dam snack bar?" Zoe blinked. "Yes. What is funny?" "Nothing," Grover said, trying to keep a straight face. "I could use some dam french fries." Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom." Maybe it was the fact that we were so tired and strung out emotionally, but I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at us. "I do not understand." "I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said. "And…" Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam T-shirt." I busted up, and I probably would've kept laughing all day, but then I heard a noise: "Moooo." The smile melted off my face. I wondered if the noise was just in my head, but Grover had stopped laughing too. He was looking around, confused. "Did I just hear a cow?" "A dam cow?" Thalia laughed.”
