    “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.”

    b) Cold shivers up your spine
    c) Strange noises

    In other words, I thought it was awesome.”

    “She raised an eyebrow. "You got something to say to me, Seaweed Brain?"

    You'd probably kick my butt."

    You know I'd kick your butt."

    I brushed the cake off my hands. "When I was at the River Styx, turning invulnerable . . . Nico said I had to concentrate on one thing that kept me anchored to the world, that made me want to stay mortal."

    Annabeth kept her eyes on the horizon. "Yeah?"

    Then up on Olympus," I said, "when they wanted to make me a god and stuff, I kept thinking-"

    Oh, you so wanted to."

    Well, maybe a little. But I didn't, because I thought-I didn't want things to stay the same for eternity, because things could always get better. And I was thinking . . ." My throat felt really dry.

    Anyone in particular?" Annabeth asked, her voice soft.

    I looked over and saw that she was trying not to smile.

    You're laughing at me," I complained.

    I am not!"

    You are so not making this easy."

    Then she laughed for real, and she put her hands
    around my neck. "I am never, ever going to make things easy for you, Seaweed Brain. Get used to it.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “I found myself staring at her, which was stupid since I'd seen her a billion times. Still, she seemed so much more mature. It was kind of intimidating. I mean, sure, she'd always been cute, but she was starting to be seriously beautiful.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “The throne rumbled. A wave of gale-force anger slammed into me.
    WHO DARES-
    The voice stopped abruptly, The anger retreated, which was a good thing, because just those two words had almost blasted my mind to shreds.
    Percy. My fathers voice was still angry but more controlled. What-exactly-are you doing on my throne?
    "I'm sorry, Father," I said. "I needed to get your attention."
    This was a very dangerous thing to do. Even for you. If I hadn't looked before I blasted, you would now be a puddle of seawater.
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “She whirled when the monster was almost on top of her. I thought the thing in her hands was an umbrella until she cranked the pump and the shotgun blast blew the giant twenty feet backwards, right into Nico's sword.
    "Nice one," Paul said.
    "When did you learn to fire a shotgun?" I demanded.
    My mom blew the hair out of her face. "About two seconds ago. Percy, we'll be fine. Go!”

    “Very well! It shall be as you say. But my son, pray this works.
    I am praying. I'm talking to you, right?
    Oh...yes. Good point. Amphitrite - incoming!”

    “The cord, a familiar voice said. Remember your lifeline, dummy!
    Suddenly there was a tug in my lower back. The current pulled at me, but it wasn't carrying me away anymore. I imagined the string in my back keeping me tied to the shore.
    "Hold on, Seaweed Brain." It was Annabeth's voice, much clearer now. "You're not getting away from me that easily."
    The cord strengthened.
    I could see Annabeth now- standing barefoot above me on the canoe lake pier. I'd fallen out of my canoe. That was it. She was reaching out her hand to haul me up, and she was trying not to laugh. She wore her orange camp T-shirt and jeans. Her hair was tucked up in her Yankees cap, which was strange because that should have made her invisible.
    "You are such an idiot sometimes." She smiled. "Come on. Take my hand."
    Memories came flooding back to me- sharper and more colorful. I stopped dissolving. My name was Percy Jackson. I reached up and took Annabeth's hand.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “Doesn't miss many meals, does he?" Zeus muttered. "Tyson, for your bravery in the war, and for leading the Cyclopes, you are appointed a general I. The armies of Olympus. You shall henceforth lead you breathren into war whenever required by the gods. And you shall have a new...um...what kind of weapon would you like? A sword? An axe?"
    "Stick!" Tyson said, showing his broken club.
    "Very well," Zeus said. "We will grant you a new, er, stick. The best stick that may be found."
    "Hooray!”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “Race you to the road?" I said.
    "You are so going to lose." She (Annabeth) took off down Half-Blood Hill and I sprinted after her.
    For once, I didn't look back.”

    “The older lady harrumphed. "I warned you, daughter. This scoundrel Hades is no good. You could've married the god of doctors or the god of lawyers, but noooo. You had to eat the pomegranate."
    "Mother-"
    "And get stuck in the Underworld!"
    "Mother, please-"
    "And here it is August, and do you come home like you're supposed to? Do you ever think about your poor lonely mother?"
    "DEMETER!" Hades shouted. "That is enough. You are a guest in my house."
    "Oh, a house is it?" she said. "You call this dump a house? Make my daughter live in this dark, damp-"
    "I told you," Hades said, grinding his teeth, "there's a war in the world above. You and Persephone are better off here with me."
    "Excuse me," I broke in. "But if you're going to kill me, could you just get on with it?”

    Rick Riordan
    “Kronos would be 10 times more powerful. His very presence would incinerate you. And once he achieves this he will empower the other Titans. They are weak, compared to what they soon will become, unless you can stop them, the world will fall, the gods will die, and I will never achieve a perfect score on this stupid machine.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    Rick Riordan
    “I looked down at my clothes. They were slashed to pieces and full of bullet holes, but I was fine. Not a mark on me.
    Nico's mouth hung open. "You just . . . with a sword . . . you just—"
    "I think the river thing worked," I said.
    "Oh gee," he said sarcastically. "You think?”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    Rick Riordan
    “Athena stood in the middle of the road with her arms crossed and a look on her face that made me think Uh-oh. She'd changed out of her armor, into jeans and a white blouse, but she didn't look any less warlike. Her gray eyes blazed.
    "Well, Percy," she said. "You will stay mortal."
    "Um, yes, ma'am."
    "I would know your reasons."
    "I want to be a regular guy. I want to grow up. Have, you know, a regular high school experience."
    "And my daughter?"
    "I couldn't leave her," I admitted, my throat dry. "Or Grover," I added quickly. "Or-"
    "Spare me." Athena stepped close to me, and I could feel her aura of power making my skin itch. "I once warned you, Percy Jackson, that to save a friend you would destroy the world. Perhaps I was mistaken. You seem to have saved both your friends and the world. But think very carefully about how you proceed from here. I have given you the benefit of the doubt. Don't mess up."
    Just to prove her point, she erupted in a column of flame, charring the front of my shirt.”
    Rick Riordan, The Last Olympian

    “I will deny I ever said this, of course, but the gods need heroes. They always have. Otherwise we would not keep you annoying little brats around."

    I feel so wanted. Thanks.”
