    Rick Riordan
    “Percy, let me go" she croaked. "You can't pull me up."
    His face was white with effort. She could see in his eyes that he knew it was hopeless.
    "Never," he said. He looked up at Nico, fifteen feet above.
    "The other side, Nico! We'll see you there. Understand?"
    Nico's eyes widened. "But-"
    "Lead them!" Percy shouted. "Promise me!"
    "I-I will."
    Below them, the voice laughed in the darkness. Sacrifices. Beautiful sacrifices to wake the goddess.
    Percy tightened his grip on Annabeth's wrist. His face was gaunt, scraped and bloody, his hair dusted with cobwebs, but when he locked eyes with her, she thought he had never looked more handsome.
    "We're staying together," he promised. "You're not getting away from me. Never again."
    Only then did she understand what would happen. A one-way trip. A very hard fall.
    "As long as we're together," she said.
    She heard Nico and Hazel still screaming for help. She saw sunlight far, far above- maybe the last sunlight she would ever see.
    Then Percy let go of his ledge, and together, holding hands, he and Annabeth fell into the endless darkness.”

    “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."
    ...
    I started cracking up, and Thalia and Grover joined in, while Zoe just looked at me. "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.”

    “Grover was sniffing the wind, looking nervous. He fished out his acorns and threw them into the sand, then played his pipes. They rearranged themselves in a pattern that made no sense to me, but Grover looked concerned.
    "That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there."
    "Which one is me?" I asked.
    "The little deformed one," Zoe suggested.
    "Oh, shut up.”

    “What if it lines up like it did in the Trojan War ... Athena versus Poseidon?"
    "I don't know. But I just know that I'll be fighting next to you."

    "Because you're my friend, Seaweed Brain. Any more stupid questions?”
    Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief

    Rick Riordan
    “You are okay?" he asked. "Not eaten by monsters?"
    "Not even a little bit." I showed him that I still had both arms and both legs, and Tyson clapped happily.
    "Yay!" he said. "Now we can eat peanut butter sandwiches and ride fish ponies! We can fight monsters and see Annabeth and make things go BOOM!"
    I hoped he didn't mean all at the same time, but I told him absolutely, we'd have a lot of fun this summer.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    “Rachel: You're a half-blood, too?
    Annabeth: Shhh! Just announce it to the world, how about?
    Rachel: Okay. Hey, everybody! These two aren't human! They're half Greek god!...They don't seem to care.”

    “She glared at me like she was about to punch me, but then she did something that surprised me even more. She kissed me.
    "Be careful seaweed brain." She said putting on her invisible cap and disappearing.
    I probably would have sat there all day, trying to remember my name, but then the sea demons came.”
    Rick Riordan

    “Rachel: They asked me a lot of questions about you. I played dumb.
    Annabeth: Was it hard?”

    “We only came close to dying six or seven times, which I thought was pretty good. Once, I lost my grip and found myself dangling by one hand from a ledge fifty feet above the rocky surf. But I found another handhold and kept climbing. A minute later Annabeth hit a slippery patch of moss and her foot slipped. Fortunately, she found something else to put it against. Unfortunately, that something was my face.
    "Sorry," she murrmured.
    "S'okay," I grunted, though I'd never really wanted to know what Annabeth's sneaker tasted like.”
    Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

    “Can you surf really well, then?"
    I looked at Grover, who was trying hard not to laugh.
    "Jeez, Nico," I said. "I've never really tried."
    He went on asking questions. Did I fight a lot with Thalia, since she was a daughter of Zeus? (I didn't answer that one.) If Annabeth's mother was Athena, the goddess of wisdom, then why didn't Annabeth know better than to fall off a cliff? (I tried not to strangle Nico for asking that one.) Was Annabeth my girlfriend? (At this point, I was ready to stick the kid in a meat-flavored sack and throw him to the wolves.)”

    “Afterward, I had the last laugh. I made an air bubble at the bottom of the lake. Our friends kept waiting for us to come up, but hey-when you are the son of Poseidon, you don't have to hurry. And it was pretty much the best underwater kiss of all time.”
    Rick Riordan

    “Dance you guys!" Thalia ordered. "You look stupid just standing there."
    I looked nervously at Annabeth, then at the groups of girls who were roaming the gym.
    "Well?" Annabeth asked.
    "Um, who should I ask?"
    She punched me in the gut. "Me, Seaweed Brain."
    "Oh. Oh right.”
    Rick Riordan

    “[My mom's] funny that way, celebrating special occasions with blue food. I think it's her way of saying anything is possible. Percy can pass seventh grade. Waffles can be blue. Little miracles like that.”

    “Monkey bar," Annabeth said. "I'm great at these." She leaped onto to the first rung and start swinging her way across. She was scared of tiny spiders, but not of plummeting to her death from a set of monkey bars. Go figure.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    Rick Riordan

    “She glanced at the minotaur horn in my hands, then back at me. I imagined she was going to say, You killed a minotaur! or Wow, you're so awesome! or something like that.
    Instead she said, "You drool when you sleep.”
    Rick Riordan

    Rick Riordan
    “Once she was gone, I knelt next to Annabeth and felt her forehead. She was still burning up.
    "You're cute when you're worried," she muttered. "Your eyebrows get all scrunched together."
    "You are not going to die while I owe you a favor," I said. "Why did you take that knife?"
    "You would've done the same for me."
    It was true. I guess we both knew it. Still, I felt like somebody was poking my heart with a cold metal rod.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “My name is Percy Jackson.
    I'm twelve years old. Until a few months ago, I was a boarding student at Yancy Academy, a private school for troubled kids in upstate New York.
    Am I a troubled kid?
    Yeah. You could say that.”
    Rick Riordan, The Lightning Thief

    Rick Riordan
    “Before I could figure out how to apologize for being such an idiot, she tackled me with a hug, then pulled away just as quickly. "I'm glad you're not a guinea pig."
    "Me, too." I hoped my face wasn't as red as it felt.”
    Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters
