Relieving Memories

Our Mother the Bullfighter

...Monsters wear Underwear?

We tore... foot on the gas.

"We've all driven like that before." Thalia nodded.

"I would rather you didn't drive at all," Nico grimaced remembering what happened with Apollo's chariot.

"Only because it was in the air." Thalia hissed quietly at him.

Every time ...carpet pants.

"What are shag carpet pants?" Aphrodite asked with a confused frown.

"An insult to the fashion industry," Annabeth informed.

"Coming from a daughter of Athena, you know they're bad," Hermes grimaced with a wince.

But... barnyard animal.

When the Olympians laughed, Percy shrugged agreeing with his younger self. It was a fairly accurate description in his mind. Agreement and amusement prickled at the back of his head.

All I could ... know each other?"

"Dialogue level, one of fifty," Kiara informed her brother who blushed.

"What?" Hermes asked in bewilderment.

"She does that," Nico provided. "Explains things like a video game. She means he phrased that sentence awkwardly."

Grover's ...Watching me?"

"Wow, he really sounds like a stalker." Thalia grinned.

"Creepy right?" Percy agreed.

"Keeping tabs ... your friend."

"That made us happy." Kiara smiled a little bit. "Grover was our only friend in that place. It would've hurt if he was just pretending."

"Urn ...friend is a donkey-"

"They don't like that Peter." Mr. D chuckled.

"Percy," the son of the sea corrected halfheartedly.

"Right, sorry Perry."

"-The Platypus." Kiara inserted once more with a smile.

Grover let ... didn't matter."

"You didn't have to just scorch him," Nico told Percy while Thalia snorted next to him.

Kiara choked next to me and shook with silent laughter.

"Blaa-ha-ha! ...an insult!"

"Which ones are that?" Kiara asked raising an eyebrow. "The Council of Cloven Elders are all... cowards."

"She has a point there," Annabeth conceded.

"Astonishingly," she added when Kiara grinned from her comment.

The ravenette sent her an irked expression.

"Whoa...Mrs. Dodds!"

"You're still stuck on that?" Hades asked.

"I spent the whole year with that woman, no way was I gonna let anyone say they didn't suffer with me."

"I get that," Nico told Percy emphatically. "Sometimes you just wanna make her swallow that dumb whip you know?"

"Yeah, or force her to listen to a 40-minute recording of her own voice." the son of Poseidon agreed.

"Are they bonding over Alecto?" Hades asked in confusion.
