["Thermos!"... the boat]

"That's really good communicating, boys," Hestia said with a smile.

"Thanks Auntie Hestia," Tyson and I said in unison.

[Arrows and... crash landing]

"Awesome!" most of the demigods yelled.

"That would be so helpful," Frank said.

"Yeah. Hey, Jason, do you think you could do something like that?" Leo asked.

"Maybe, but I'd rather not try," Jason said.

"Killjoy," Leo said, pouting.

[The wind... was gone]

"That was fast," my mom said. 

[As we... dance club]

"Woah, Chiron, I didn't know you were into that type of thing," Leo said.

"I assure you, Mr. Valdez, I am not," Chiron said.

"Then explain the Iris Message," Leo insisted.

"It was my brethren," Chrion said.

"You mean the Party Ponies? They're awesome!" Connor said.

"The Party Ponies?" Frank asked.

"My more rowdy relatives, but they're pleasant enough," Chiron explained.

[We told... Comanche warriors]

"What were you trying to warn Percy about?" Hazel asked.

"I can't remember. Something in the Sea of Monsters, I'm sure," Chiron said.

["What?"... was gone]

"Well, that was a waste of a drachma," Travis said.

"Not really. At least Chiron knew what was up, and was able to keep an eye out for us," Annabeth said.

"But you couldn't even hear each other," Leo said.

"Maybe not, but at least it was a friendly face," I said.

[An hour... I said]

"I know you said you have perfect bearings at sea, but that's amazing," Paul said.

"Thanks. It's definitely handy," I said.

"Maybe we could go sailing sometime," my mom said.

"I'd like that," I said.

[She stared... is coming."]

"Luke?" Piper asked.

"Nope, just the coast guard," I said.

"Just the coast guard," Jason repeated.

"Yeah, not a big deal," I said.

"The coast guard isn't a big deal?" Paul asked.

"Compared to everything else I encounter? No, not really," I said with a shrug.

[I looked... can hide."]

"Where?" Reyna asked Annabeth.

"You'll see," Annabeth said.

"Oh, there?" Thalia asked.

"You know it," Annabeth said, with a smile.

[I didn't... directing me]

"What just happened?" my mom asked.

"I was just affected by the shift from salt water to fresh water. My powers are always stronger at sea, so changing from salt to fresh was slightly draining," I explained.
