["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.
"I see," my mom said.
["There,"... like it]
"You are such a city boy," Thalia said.
"I grew up in Manhattan, of course I'm a city boy," I said.
["Come on,"... camouflaged shelter]
"Whoa, what is this place?" Reyna asked.
"It's a secret hideout from when we were on the run," Annabeth explained, gesturing to her, Thalia, and Luke.
[The inside... was jealous]
"Why did you feel jealous?" Annabeth asked.
"Because of all the time they got to spend with you," I said.
"And you say you weren't in denial," Clarisse grumbled.
"I wasn't!" I denied.
"Are you sure about that?" Piper asked.
"Yes!" I exclaimed.
"We'll see. From what I'm hearing, I'm more willing to believe Clarisse," Piper said.
["So..."... or something?"]
"You noticed my body language said I didn't want to talk, so what do you do? You send Tyson away," Annabeth muttered.
"I knew you needed to talk, but you wouldn't want to do so around Tyson," I muttered to her.
"You know me so well," she said.
["Convenience store?"... seeing Luke."]
"Seriously Percy?" Rachel asked.
"What?" I asked.
"You just said Annabeth didn't want to talk," she said.
"Around Tyson," I corrected.
"You didn't want me around?" Tyson asked.
"Not like that big guy. We just needed privacy for this particular conversation," I explained.
["It's not... his side?"]
"One of the things we bonded over was our grievances with our parents," Thalia explained, before turning to Luke. "However, that doesn't mean I'd join Kronos."
"I know that now," Luke sighed.
["He's wrong."... each other."]
"You aren't wrong. We fought a lot at first," Thalia told Annabeth.
"Don't remind us!" the ones who were at camp the following winter said.
"Wait, what happened?" Annabeth asked.
"You don't know?" Paul asked.
"No. I was... unavailable, and apparently they didn't think to tell me," Annabeth said.
"Sorry, after everything it slipped my mind. You'll find out in the next book," I said.
["Let's go.. decided otherwise]
"And yet, you still insisted I tell you about it," Annabeth said.
"My curiosity was piqued," I said.
"Curiosity killed the cat," Annabeth told me.
"But satisfaction brought him back," Leo countered.
"What?" Piper asked, confused.
"That's what my mom used to say," Leo said.
["So what...pastry box]
"Wait, what? Where did he get those?" my mom asked.
"You'll see," I said.
[Annabeth stared... Annabeth muttered]
"Why?" Leo asked.
"You don't find it odd that one appeared in the middle of the wilderness after Percy sent Tyson away?" Annabeth asked
"I mean, yeah, but no more than anything else we encounter," Leo said.
Annabeth sighed, "I explain the problem to Percy in a minute."
[We were... donut shop."]
"Pretty good donuts too," Rachel said.
"I've never actually tried them, and I don't really care to," Annabeth said.
"Yeah, I don't think I'll have them again either," I said.
"Why?" Piper asked
"You'll see," I said.
["Shhh"... sinister forces]
"Exactly," Leo said.
Annabeth sighed and rubbed her temples.
"Are you getting a sense of deja vu?" I whispered to her.
"What do you think?" she asked.
I didn't have a response to that.
["It could... They breed-"]
"What?" Leo asked.
"Monsters, Leo. They breed monsters," Annabeth said.
"So that's why you won't try them," Rachel said.
"Yep," Annabeth said nodding.
[She froze... DONUT KID]
"You know, if it wasn't for the whole "fearing for your life" thing, that would be a funny sight," Leo said.
"Why are you like this?" Calypso asked.
"You know you love me," Leo told her.
"That doesn't answer my question," Calypso deadpanned.
[I took... our scent]
"Oh, great," Jason said.
"How do you kill it again?" Frank asked.
"Fire," Annabeth said.
"What if you were to stab it or something instead of cutting off the head?" Will asked.
"That... that might work but I don't plan on having a reason to try it," Annabeth said.
[My heart... of him]
"Tyson, move!" my dad yelled.
"Daddy, I'm right here," Tyson said.
"I know, but I still worry," my dad said.
["Tyson!"... of goo]
My dad groaned. "You two are going to give me a heart attack."
"Sorry dad," I said. 'He isn't going to like the next chapter'
[One of... shop somewhere!"]
"That's what you were worried about?" Reyna asked.
"If you're implying that I wasn't worried for Percy's safety, of course I was. After that first summer, he became one of my best friends, I just have never been good at expressing that. Plus, I knew he could handle himself," Annabeth said.
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Wise Girl, but if it wasn't for Clarisse, we would have died," I whispered to her.
[I dodged... no fire]
"Too bad I wasn't there," Leo said.
"Yeah. Where were you when we needed you?" I teased.
"Moving from foster home to foster home. You know, the usual," Leo deadpanned.
[I backed... Hydra forever]
"Go Tyson!" most of the teens and some of the gods cheered, causing him to blush deeply.
[We kept... Tyson said]
"What?" Hephaestus asked, confused.
"Did you send aid?" my mom asked my dad.
"It wasn't me this time," my dad said.
"So who is it?" Paul asked.
Clarisse smirked but stayed silent.
"You'll see," I told him.
"Just tell me this. Is it friend or foe?" my mom asked.
"Eh, depends on the day, but mostly friend," I said.
["What?"... two fronts]
"Oh, well that's real nice," Clarisse grumbled.
"OK, that was a bit mean, but keep in mind that we weren't exactly friends at the time," I told her.
"Wait, that was you?" Connor asked.
"It is my quest, remember?" Clarisse retorted.
"How did you get a ship?" Travis asked.
"A gift from my dad," she said, and left it at that.
[A gravelly... to do]
"Ew, gross," Aphrodite said.
"It is, but at this point, I'm kind of used to it," I said.
["Gross!"... Hades's palace]
"Ugh. I hate that curse. It causes so much paperwork," Hades groaned.
"Suck it up. That's what they get for losing the war," Ares said.
"What are they going on about?" Leo asked.
"The losing side of every war owes my dad, so when I asked for naval transport, he provided me a ship from the Civil War," Clarisse explained.
"Ah, no wonder my dad's upset," Nico said. " He hates paperwork."
[The ship... Come aboard."]
"Well that was real welcoming," Thalia said sarcastically.
"For Clarisse it was actually pretty friendly," I said.
"That was the end," Ares said.
"I'll go next," Jason volunteered.
[Clarisse Blows Everything Up]
"Wait, I need to skim through the chapter," I said.
After a minute, I spoke again.
"Clarisse, I need to talk to you."
A/N: Here's the next chapter! This one was hard to come up with reaction ideas. TBH, this is kind of a boring chapter to me. Anyway, I hope you all had a good Mother's Day, whether you're a mother or not. Enjoy the chapter!
