[Artemis assured... like that]

"That's how I felt too, but no. She wasn't abandoning me, she just needed space," Nico said. "I'm starting to understand that now."

"I know. I just felt she didn't put a lot of consideration into her decision. She did explain to me later why she made the choice she did though," I said.

[Thalia and... "Yeah."]

"Man, you are so lucky Juniper isn't here," I told him, hiding my laughter.

"I know," he said.

"I wouldn't laugh too much, Percy. We'll be reading about me soon enough," Rachel called.

"And me!" Calypso added.

My eyes widened, and I tried to subtly glance at Annabeth, but she caught me.

"Oh, please Seaweed Brain. I may have been jealous then, but I'm over it now," she said, laughing while rolling her eyes.

'You say that now' I thought, as one moment I never told Annabeth about, came to mind.

[Finally the... the sun]

"It's a good thing I'm an English teacher and not a science teacher," Paul said.

"How come?" Frank asked.

"Wrapping my head around all this has been difficult enough as it is. If I taught science, not only would I have to wrap my head around the myths being real, but I'd also be teaching the opposite. With English, I already teach the myths occasionally, so it's not that different," Pop explained. 

["It's not... were wet]

"Is that still your dream car," Mom asked.

"Yeah, once I get enough money," I said.

"What color?" Dad asked.

"Probably blue, although the red of the sun chariot looked pretty cool," I said.

[The driver... I meant."]

Thalia hid her face in embarrassment.

"Thank you, Thalia," Apollo said smirking.

"Normally I don't like my hunters making those kinds of comments, however since this was before your oath, I'll overlook it. I will say though, I did not expect it to come from you, Thalia," Artemis said.

"I know, I don't even know why I said it," Thalia groaned.

"Because there's no denying the truth," Apollo said.

["Little sister!"... coming on."]

Everyone in the throne room groaned, minus my mortal parents as they've been fortunate to not hear one of Apollo's haikus.

"Oh come on, my haikus are awesome," Apollo said.

"Sorry dad, but no they are not," Will said.

[The Hunters... from Sparta-"]

"Oh, I feel her pain. I have to teach poetry as part of my curriculum and haikus and limericks are the worst ones," Paul said.

"You realize that I am the god of poetry, right Paul?" Apollo asked, raising an eyebrow.

He blanched, then quickly said, "Of course, Lord Apollo. I didn't mean any disrespect. There are some amazing poems, of course."

Apollo grinned, "I'm messing with you. I wasn't really all that offended."

Paul sighed in relief, but still looked slightly fearful.

["I've got... one time-"]

"Who were you thinking of that time," Artemis asked Apollo.
