Introducing The Mark of Athena: Unforgettable Moments! 
 Percy blinked. "So your brother is a winged horse. But you're also my half brother, which means all flying horses in the world are my ... You know what? Let's forget it." 
 "STYLE?" The giant's face flushed. "I have mountains of style. I define style. I-I-" 
 "My brother oozes style," Otis suggested. 
 "Thank you!" Ephialtes cried." 
 Bacchus stepped forward, and the giants stumbled back. "Have you two gotten shorter?" asked the god. 
 "Hold up." Leo stepped forward, wagging his Wii controller. "Did you just call my ship a monstrosity? I know you didn't do that." 
 When he woke, daylight was coming through the glass floor, and a boy's voice said, "Oh ... you are in so much trouble." 
 "I am so hot,"Narcissus said sympathetically. 
 "Well done, Frank Zhang," Leo said dryly, doing his impression of Chiron the centaur. "That is exactly how people beat Chinese handcuffs. They turn into iguanas." 
 Leo beamed at his friends. "That, good people, is how we do things in the Leo World! Come on in!" 
 "I hate Leo World," Frank muttered. 
 Hazel laughed. 
 Her Most Annoying Majesty, Queen of Olympus, had convinced the other gods that their two sets of children - Roman and Greek - had to combine forces to save the world from the evil goddess, Gaea. 
 Then he gasped and pointed to the spot where Frank was hiding. "Oh, no! Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!" 
 Nothing happened. 
 "I said," Percy repeated, "Frank is turning into a crazy dolphin!" 
 "Incredible," Jason said. "These are really good brownies." 
 "That's your only comment?" Piper demanded. 
 The eidolons started pounding on the gates again. 
 "Who is it?" Leo called. 
 "Valdez!" Wolf Head bellowed. 
 "Valdez who?" Leo asked. 
 Percy smiled at her - that sarcastic, troublemaker smile that had annoyed her for years but eventually had become endearing. His sea-green eyes were as gorgeous as she remembered. His dark hair was swept to one side, like he'd just come from a walk on the beach. He looked even better than he had six months ago - tanner and taller, leaner and more muscular. 
 Frank waved his left dorsal fin. 'Sup? 
 Percy yelled, "What's going -Gah! Shrimpzilla!" 
 They were alone expect for Coach Hedge, who was back on the quarterdeck singing the Pokemon theme song. The coach had changed the words to: Gotta Kill 'Em All, and Leo really didn't want to know why. 
 "Behold!" Percy shouted. "The god's chosen beverage. Tremble before the horror of Diet Coke!" 
 Leo couldn't help smiling. "That could be fun." 
 "Fun," she said unhappily. 
 "Blue elephants." 
 "Blue elephants." 
 "Kiss me, you fool." 
 "You fool." 
 "Hey!" 
 "A son of Ares stood here!" Hedge cried indignantly. 
 "I'm Roman ... so Mars, actually." 
 "Whatever! Famous spot in the American Civil War!" 
 "I'm Canadian, actually." 
 Piper twisted the feather in her hair. "Like water leaking through a dam," she suggested. 
 "Yeah." Percy smiled. "We've got a dam hole." 
 "What?" Piper asked. 
 "Nothing,' he said. "Inside joke." 
 "You dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced. 
 Annabeth threw her arms around him. "I love you!" 
 "This is Buford," Leo announced. 
 "You name your furniture?" Frank asked. 
 Hazel was looking at him strangely, the way she had during the feast in the forum-like she was searching for something in his face. He was tempted to ask if they had met before, but he was sure they hadn't. He would remember a pretty girl paying such close attention to him. That didn't happen a lot. 
 He squinted at it. "What is-?" 
 "Chinese handcuffs," Percy said. 
 Frank, who was Chinese Canadian, looked offended. "How is this Chinese?" 
 Hazel and Piper had stopped the shaking fits. They were sitting on the deck, staring at Percy, but when he glared at them pointedly, they started hamming it up again, trembling and flopping around like a fish. 
 "I'm the Super-sized McShizzle, man!" Leo said. "I'm Leo Valdez, bad boy supreme. And ladies love a bad boy."
