“They pulled apart when Keefe shouted, "YOU GUYS HAVE TO SEE THIS!"They ran to the main room and found Keefe standing under the skylight, holding up Mr. Snuggles like it was a baby lion about to be made king. The sparkly red dragon twinkled almost as much as Keefe's eyes as he said, "I went in to check on our boy and found him cuddling with THIS!"
"Isn't that the same dragon Fitz brought to your house that one time?" Dex asked Sophie.
"WHAT?" Keefe shouted. "YOU KNEW AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!"
"Mr. Snuggles wasn't my secret to share," Sophie said.
"IT'S NAME IS MR. SNUGGLES?! That is... I can't even..." Keefe ran back to Fitz's room shouting, "ARE YOU MISSING YOUR SNUGGLE BUDDY?!"
"Fitz is going to die of embarrassment, you know that, right?" Biana asked.”

Hahahahahh i love this one
“He was quiet for a few seconds, and Sophie thought he was going to ignore her. But then he leaned closer-close enough that she could feel his breath on her cheek. " I crack a lot of jokes ,Sophie , but ....that's just because it's easier, you know? It's how I deal. But that doesn't mean I don't care. I do, a lot.”― Shannon Messenger, Exile
Aww i love this one too!!!
“You...got me E.L. Fudges?” Keefe asked, doing an adorable double take between her and the cookies....”The fact that they’re shaped like tiny elves!” Keefe said, clapping his hands before he pointed at the label. “Hang on—they call them elfwiches?”
“They do, Keefe. They do. And that’s not even the best part.”
“AHHHHHH LOOK AT THEIR LITTLE FACES!” Keefe shouted as he peeled back the plastic cover. “THIS IS THE GREATEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN—EVER!”
—Shannon Messenger, Legacy
While typing this out, I just realized the same cookies were mentioned in the first book. Chapter 5 page 38.
“Sophie sighed. “You don’t have to do this.”“If you’re talking about being adorable, I really can’t help myself.”
He said it with a wink and a smirk-which wasn’t playing fair. But she managed to stop her lips from curling into a smile.”

“If anyone says ‘legacy’ one more time, I’m going to throw up.”

" 'I swear, watching boys trying to communicate is like watching amoebas,' Ro told Sophie during the long silence that followed. 'You just stare at their blobby little bodies and think, ' 'How do these things even function?' ' "-Legacy, pg. 368-369
“Don’t you dare,” Sophie said, blocking Keefe as he tried to flop on her bed. “You smell like a wet rat. You can sit on the floor.”

Can we all just take a second to appreciate what an absolute MOOD Silveny is when she transmits “Keefe! Keefe! Keefe!”
Dudes the gorgodons are my spirit animal
“‘Cool! Your window is right across from mine!’ Keefe said, opening Sophie’s curtains. ‘We could throw things at each other!’
“‘Or not.’ Della herded everyone to the bed...”
-Flashback, page 136
BWAHAHA I DON’T KNOW WHY BUT THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD I CRIED! I THINK MY FAMILY BELIEVES I HAVE LOST MY MIND. But like seriously, Keefe, who thinks of that!? 🤣🤣🤣 lmlto

“We don’t get much excitement around here.”
“How about you throw Fitz Vacker on my match list and see what happens?”
“How about you throw Fitz Vacker on my match list and see what happens?”
The matchmakers said “we don’t get much excitement around here” and Sophie internally considered replying “How about you throw Fitz Vacker on my match list and see what happens” 🤣
oh, it was an internal response. I legit thought someone said that out loud and I was so confused XD
"Hmm," Keefe said. "Please tell me you haven't decided you want what you can't have."
"No!"
Though maybe she did--just not in the way he meant.
"Don't you miss when crushes were only silly, secret, things?" she asked quietly. "Suddenly it's all getting so...real--and not just because of this. I mean...Fitz already finished filling out his matchmaking packet. And you probably need to go pick up yours--if you haven't already."
Keefe smirked. "So that's what kept you up tossing and turning? Wondering if I've registered for the match?"
"Ugh, that's so not what I was saying."
"Suuuuuuuuurrrre it wasn't."
She tried to roll her eyes and turn away, but he grabbed her hands to stop her. "I don't want you losing sleep, Foster, So let me set that powerful mind of yours at ease. I have not registered for the match, and I won't be for a while."
"Why not?"
He shrugged. "Waiting to see how a few things shake out."
-Nightfall, page 272

"When she didn't smile, he leaned in and whispered, "And here's another thing you can count on. You'll never lose me. No matter how any of this stuff goes down."
There was a softness to his voice. Maybe even a sweetness. And for a second, Sophie's breath seemed to catch.
But then he leaned back and added, "I have way too much fun annoying you."
Sophie sighed. "That does seem to be one of your talents."
And you adore me for it. In fact, maybe we should find out if we're meant to be."
He puckered his lips and Sophie shoved him him a little harder that tine,
"Hey--how come the Dexinator gets the smooch test and I don't? Do you realize that thanks to you, sweet innocent little Dex has now kissed someone before I have? And you too?"
-Nightfall, page 273

"Still, Sophie couldn't stop herself for saying, "Please don't lead her on."
"Never. Why do you think I don't flirt with her? I even go out of my way to flirt with everyone else around her so that it'll be more obvious, you know?"
"Yeah," Sophie said, fighting a strange, prickly feeling.
Finally--a solid explanation for why she way always subjected to so much Keefe-teasing.
She;d known there had to be one.
But for some reason...it stung.
Two big blows to her pride in two days.
She might as well come clean to Fitz and get the trifecta of humiliation over with.
"Hey." Keefe said, "I--"

"I'm guessing it's new, since the last few times I transmitted to her she didn't mention anything about--"
"STOP!" Keefe held up his hands. "Ground rules for this conversation: All talk about alicorn baby-making is off the table--got it? Otherwise, I'll gave to rip my ears odd. And for the record, I do not want to be there when Baby Glitterbutt arrives."
-Neverseen, page 462
"Do you think he already knows?" Fitz asked. "He's the caretaker st the Sanctuary. Maybe he...saw stuff."
"WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE GROUND RULES?" Keefe shouted, covering his ears. "That's it, this conversation is officially over. Next person to say 'alicorn' is getting pelted with fruit."
-Neverseen, page 463
Gotta love immature Keefe!

"Keefe mumbled "ow" several times before shouting. "YOU THINK YOU CAN HOLD M--"
A loud RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP cut him off, and he shouted a bunch of words that would earn him a month of detention before a CRUNCH! left him silent.
"Are you okay?" Sophie called.
"I've been better," Keefe groaned. "Guess I forgot to brace for the fall."
"He also forgot his pants," the blue cloaked figure noted.
(I'm skipping some of the next part)
"Oy, his boxers are covered in little banshees!" a kid shouted.

I'm about to audition for our school musical and I need a monologue, but I don't have any, and I want one from something I'm passionate about. Does anyone know of any good monologues in KotLC?

Ooh! There’s the whole “I’d rather be punished for making the wrong descision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life”
WOAH I got that quote backwards. It’s “I’d rather be punished for making the RIGHT decision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life
Carrlene wrote: "Ooh! There’s the whole “I’d rather be punished for making the wrong descision than live with the guilt of making the wrong one for the rest of my life”"Where would I find that one and do you have the whole quote, because I don't have time to get the book before my audition needs to be submitted?
out of curiosity,what's the play,what role are you auditioning for, and what is the personality of the role you're auditioning for? you need to find a monologue that reflects the personality of the character
Aҽɾιαʅ wrote: "out of curiosity,what's the play,what role are you auditioning for, and what is the personality of the role you're auditioning for? you need to find a monologue that reflects the personality of the..."I don't know any of the roles, and we don't audition for any specific roles, they just cast us as they see fit.
"Heard us how?" Keefe cocked his head glancing at her hand on his arm then back at her. "hiding something Foster?" I love this part.
“Ow, I just hit my shoulder,” Biana cried. “Maybe it was another naked statue,” Keefe suggested. “EWWW WHAT IF IT WAS?!”
I think it’s in the very beginning when they are finding Mr. Forkle to go to the hideout lol
