I try very hard to be annoying! Don't insult my ability to annoy!

Scrawny? Baby, I invented scrawny. Scrawny is the new sizzling hot.

When I was alive, I mean the first time, Mussolini was in charge. We were at war.___ussolini?_ Leo frowned. __asn__ he like BFFs with Hitler?

We__e all got weaknesses. Me, for instance. I__ tragically funny and good-looking.

Yours in demigodishness, and all that. Peace out!

Aphros nodded, a glint of pride in his eyes. __e have trained all the famous mer-heroes! Name a famous mer-hero, and we have trained him or her!___h, sure,_ Leo said. __ike_um, the Little Mermaid?__phros frowned. __ho? No! Like Triton, Glaucus, Weissmuller, and Bill!___h. __eo had no idea who any of those people were. __ou trained Bill? Impressive.

Gaea?_ Leo shook his head. __sn__ that Mother Nature? She__ supposed to have, like, flowers in her hair and birds singing around her and dear and rabbits doing her laundry.___eo, that__ Snow White,_ Piper said.

She led him past the engine room, which looked like a very dangerous, mechanized jungle gym, with pipes and pistons and tubes jutting from a central bronze sphere. Cables resembling giant metal noodles snaked across the floor and ran up the walls. __ow does that thing even work?_ Percy asked. __o idea,_ Annabeth said. __nd I__ the only one besides Leo who can operate it.___hat__ reassuring.___t should be fine. It__ only threatened to blow up once.___ou__e kidding, I hope.__he smiled. __ome on.

According to Festus, our flying table, Buford, made it back safely while we were in Charleston, so those eagles didn't get him. Unfortunately, he lost the laundry bag with your pants.""Dang it!" Frank Barked, which Leo figured was probably severe profanity for him.No doubt Frank would've cursed some more -busting out the golly gees and the gosh darns- but Percy interrupted by doubling over and groaning."Did the world just turn upside down?" he asked.Jason pressed his hands to his head. "Yeah, and it's spinning. Everything is yellow. Is it supposed to be yellow?

Percy says be talked to a Nereid in Charleston Harbor!___ood for him!_ Leo yelled back. __he Nereid said we should seek help from Chiron__ brothers.___hat does that mean? The Party Ponies?_ Leo had never met Chiron__ crazy centaur relatives, but he__ heard rumors of Nerf sword-fights, root beer-chugging contests, and Super Soakers filled with pressurized whipped cream. __ot sure,_ Annabeth said. __ut I__e got coordinates. Can you input latitude and longitude in this thi

Anyway, I'm glad you found her. (Calypso) You promised to find a way back to her, and I just wanted to say that if we do survive all this, I'll do anything to help you. Thats a promise I will keep.

Like your zodiac sign?' Percy asked. 'I'm a Leo.''No, stupid,' Leo said. 'I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.

We got lots of secrets, Will. You Apollo guys can't have all the fun. Our campers have been excavating the tunnel system under Cabin Nine for almost a century. We still haven't found the end. Anyway, Leo, if you don't mind sleeping in a dead man's bed, it's yours-Jake Suddenly Leo didn't feel like kicking back. He sat up, careful not to touch any of the buttons. The counselor who died-this was his bed-Leo Yeah. Charles Beckendorf-Jake Leo imagined saw blades coming through the mattress, or maybe a grenade sewn inside the pillows. He didn't, like, die IN this bed, did he-LeoNo. In the Titan War, last summer-JakeThe Titan War, which has NOTHING to do with this very fine bed-Leo"The Titans," Will said, like Leo was an idiot. The big powerful guys that ruled the world before the gods. They tried to make a comeback last summer. Their leader, Kronos, built a new palace on top of Mount Tam in California. Their armies came to New York and almost destoyed Mount Olympus. A lot of demigods died trying to stop them-WillI'm guessing this wasn't on the news-LeoIt seemed like a fair question, but Will shook his head in disbelief. You didn't hear about Mount St. Helens erupting, or the freak storms across the country, or that building collapsing in St Louis-WillLeo shrugged. Last summer, he'd been on the run from another foster home. Then a truancy officer caught him in New Mexico, and the court sentenced him to the nearest correction facility-the Wilderness School. Guess I was busy-LeoDoesn't matter. You were lucky to miss it. The thing is, Beckendorf was one of the first casualties, and ever since then-JakeYour cabin's been cursed-Leo

Okay, do not call me Aquaman. That's even worse than waterboy.

Dude." Jason gave Percy a bear hug."Back from Tartarus!" Leo whooped. "That's my peeps!

All aboard for one last trip.

Like the zodiac sign?' Percy asked. 'I'm a Leo.''No, stupid,' Leo said, 'I'm a Leo. You're a Percy.
