    “Much were bent over in laughter. I pushed him, and he rolled to the floor without my intended insult. “Come off it!” I stamped my foot.

    “What’s so funny?” John asked, coming over in the middle of eating an apple. He tossed me an apple and I threw it at Much. He only laughed harder. “K-k-kissed Scar!” he hooted.

    “Someone kissed you?” John asked, turning to me. He didn’t look like it were too funny. “Who is he?”
    This made Much laugh more.

    “None of your business, John Little,” I told him.
    He stepped closer to me with a flat face that, if I could ape it, I’d never be kissed by a stupid girl when I didn’t want to be. “Who, Scar?”

    “Jenny Percy!” Much roared.

    John’s face broke open, like a smile could split a black
    mood. “Wait till Rob hears this.”
    A.C. Gaughen, Scarlet

    Rick Riordan
    “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.”

    “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.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    “A demigod!" one snarled.
    "Eat it!" yelled another.
    But that's as far as they got before I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters.
    "Back off!" I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down.
    "New lesson, class," I announced. "Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is completely normal, and will happen to you right now if you don't BACK OFF!"
    To my surprise, it worked. The monsters backed off, but there was at least twenty of them. My fear factor wasn't going to last that long.
    I jumped out of the cart, yelled, "CLASS DISMISSED!" and ran for the exit.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    “Leo choked. "Your mom is a rainbow goddess?"
    "Got a problem with that?" Butch said.
    "No, no," Leo said. "Rainbows, very macho."
    "Butch is our best equestrian," Annabeth said. "He gets along great with the pegasi."
    "Rainbows, ponies," Leo muttered.
    "I'm gonna toss you off this chariot," Butch warned.”

    “Heroes!" Euryale said with disgust. "They always bring that up, just like our mother! 'why can't you turn people to stone? your sister can turn people to stone.' Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, boy! That was Medusa's curse alone. she was the most hideous one in the family. She got all the luck!" Stheno looked hurt. "Mother said I was the most hideous.”

    “Very slowly using two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she tossed it as far as she could into the water.

    Octavian made a squeaking sound. "What was that for? I didn't say toss it! That could've been evidence. Or spoils of war!"

    Annabeth tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.

    "You other two..." He pointed his blade a Hazel and Piper. "Put your weapons on the dock. No funny bus--"

    All around the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay, spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.

    "You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”
