5cea5d1 "Gaea?" Leo shook his head. "Isn't that Mother Nature? She's supposed to have, like, flowers in her hair and birds singing around her and dear and rabbits doing her laundry." "Leo, that's Snow White," Piper said." -- gaea leo-valdez piper-mclean Rick Riordan
aacfcf9 "Gods of Olympus." Piper stared at Leo. "What happened to ?" His hair was greased back. He had welding goggles on his forehead, a lipstick mark on his cheek, tattoos all over his arms, and a T-shirt that read HOT STUFF, BAD BOY, and TEAM LEO. "Long story," he said." leo-valdez percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan

393bca1 "Blackjack," Percy said, "this is Piper and Jason. They're friends." The horse nickered. "Uh, maybe later," Percy answered. Piper had heard that Percy could speak to horses, being the son of the horse lord Poseidon, but she'd never seen it in action. "What does Blackjack want?" she asked. "Donuts," Percy said. "Always donuts." donuts flying-horses heroes-of-olympus humor jason-grace percy-jackson percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan
a66c442 "Leo: "So...giants who can throw mountains. Friendly wolves that will eat us if we show weakness. Evil espresso drinks. Gotcha. Maybe this isn't the best time to bring up my psycho babysitter." Piper: "Is that another joke?" piper-mclean psycho-babysitter venti Rick Riordan
187266a "This is Leo. I'm the... What's my title? Am I like, admiral, or captain, or..." "Repair boy." "Very funny, Piper." leo-valdez piper-mclean Rick Riordan

3a7f8e3 [Piper] rushed to get dressed. By the time she got up on deck, the others had already gathered--all hastily dressed except for Coach Hedge, who had pulled the night watch. Frank's Vancouver Winter Olympics shirt was inside out. Percy wore pajama pants and a bronze breastplate, which was an interesting fashion statement. Hazel's hair was all blown to one side as though she'd walked through a cyclone; and Leo had accidentally set himself on fire. His T-shirt was in charred tatters. His arms were smoking. fashion frank-zhang hazel-levesque leo-valdez percy-jackson percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-heroes-of-olympus the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan
320044b "Festus just detected a large group of eagles behind us--long-range radar, still not in sight." Piper leaned over the console. "Are you sure they're Roman?" Leo rolled his eyes. "No, Pipes. It could be a random group of giant eagles flying in perfect formation. Of course they're Roman!" leo-valdez percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean sarcasm the-heroes-of-olympus the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan
cf6a94d "Aphrodite," [Annabeth] said. "Venus?" Hazel asked in amazement. "Mom," Piper said with no enthusiasm. "Girls!" The goddess spread her arms like she wanted a group hug. The three demigods did not oblige. Hazel backed into a palmetto tree." aphrodite hazel-levesque heroes-of-olympus percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan
d355f7b Percy pulled Annabeth close and kissed her...long enough for it to get really awkward for Piper, though she said nothing. She thought about the old rule of Aphrodite's cabin: that to be recognized as a daughter of the love goddess, you had to break someone's heart. Piper had long ago decided to change that rule. Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone`s heart whole; that was a much better test. aphrodite awww love percabeth percy-jackson piper-mclean Rick Riordan
45b9d0d "Piper and Hazel were ready to go, but first Annabeth turned to Percy, who was leaning on the starboard rail, gazing over the bay. Annabeth took his hand. "What are you going to do while we're gone?"

a629c4e "Percy and Hedge lay on the deck, looking exhausted. Hedge was missing his shoes. He grinned at the sky, muttering, "Awesome. Awesome." Percy was covered in nicks and scratches, like he'd jumped through a window. He didn't say anything but he grasped Annabeth's hand weakly as if to say, Leo, Piper, and Jason, who'd been eating in the mess hall, came rushing up the stairs. "What? What?" Leo cried, holding a half-eaten grilled cheese sandwich. "Can't a guy even take a lunch break? What's wrong?" "Followed!" Frank yelled again. "Followed by ? Jason asked. "I don't know!" Frank panted. "Whales? Sea monsters? Maybe Kate and Porky!" Annabeth wanted to strangle the guy, but she wasn't sure her hands would fit around his thick neck. "That makes absolutely no sense." coach-hedge frank-zhang jason-grace leo-valdez percy-jackson percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-heroes-of-olympus the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan
cfb32a9 "I don't deserve you." "You're not allowed to say that." "Why not?" "It's a breakup line. Unless you're breaking up-" Jason leaned over and kissed her. The colors of the Roman afternoon suddenly seemed sharper, as it the world had switched to high definition. "No breakups," he promised. "I may have busted my head a few times, but I'm not that stupid." jasper mark-of-athena piper-mclean rick-riordan Rick Riordan
386a9b4 "So...these Pillars of Hercules. Are they dangerous?" Annabeth stayed focused on the cliffs. "For Greeks, the pillars marked the end of the known world. The Romans said the pillars were inscribed with a Latin warning--" Percy said. Annabeth looked stunned. "Yeah. . How did you know?" Percy pointed. "Because I'm looking at it." hercules heroes-of-olympus non-plus-ultra percy-jackson percy-jackson-and-the-olympians piper-mclean the-mark-of-athena Rick Riordan

8836bb8 Fear can't be reasoned with. Neither can hate. They're like love. They're almost identical emotions. That's why Ares and Aphrodite like each other. Their twin sons - Fear and Panic - were spawned from both war and love. ares fear love piper-mclean wisdom Rick Riordan
9707124 "Jason turned to Leo. "Do you think you can fly this thing?" "Um..." Leo put his hand on the side of the helicopter, concentrating hard, as if listening to the machine. "Bell 412HP utility helicopter," Leo said. "Composite four-blade main rotor, cruising speed twenty-two knots, service ceiling twenty-thousand feet. The tank is near full. Sure, I can fly it." Piper smiled at the ranger again. "You din't have a problem with an under-aged unlicensed kid borrowing your copter, do you? We'll return it." "I-" The pilot nearly choked on the words, but she got them out: "I don't have a problem with that." Leo grinned. "Hop in kids, Uncle Leo's gonna take you for a ride." leo-valdez lost-hero piper-mclean Rick Riordan
fb7d36c "Jason muttered "And I saw something...Really terrible." "That was Hera," Thalia grumbled, "Her Majesty, the Loose Cannon." "That's it, Thalia Grace," Said the goddess. "I will turn you into and aardvark, so help me-" "Stop it, you two," Piper said. Amazingly, they both shut up." heroes-of-olympus jason-grace lost-hero piper-mclean thalia-grace Rick Riordan
c0f0961 "Besides, Reyna will do what she can to slow things down. She's still on our side. I know she is." "You trust her." Piper's voice sounded hollow, even to herself. "Look Pipes. I told you, you've got nothing to be jealous about." "She's beautiful. She's powerful. Se's so...Roman." Jason put down his hammer. He took her hand, which sent a tingle up her arm. Piper's dad had once taken her to the Aquarium of the Pacific and shown her an electric eel. He told her that the eel sent out pulses that shocked and paralyzed its prey. Each time Jason looked at her or touched her hand, Piper felt like that. "You're beautiful and powerful," he said. "And I don't want you to be Roman. I want you to be Piper. Besides, we're a team, you and me." jasper mark-of-athena piper-mclean rick-riordan Rick Riordan

006a3f8 Piper bit her lip. The last thing she wanted to do was check Katopris for more terrifying images. 'I've tried,'she said.'The dagger doesn't always show what I want to see. In fact,it hardly ever does' 'Please,'Percy said.'Try again.' He pleaded with those sea-green eyes, like a cute baby seal that needed help.Piper wondered how Annabeth ever won an argument with this guy. 'Fine,'she sighed,and drew her dagger percy-jackson piper-mclean Rick Riordan
9b64c72 He also didn't mind Piper's using him for a pillow. She had a cute way of breathing when she slept - inhaling through the nose, exhaling with a little puff through the mouth. He was also disappointed when she woke up. jason-grace piper piper-mclean Rick Riordan
9bdabbc "Shut up, me" Leo said out loud. "What?" Piper asked. "Nothing," he said. "Long night. I think I'm hallucinating. It's cool." piper-mclean Rick Riordan

Percy and Annabeth were a perfect example of why. You should have to make someone's heart whole. That was a much better test. When Percy pulled away, Annabeth looked like a fish gasping for air.

2dc5e25 "Piper leaned toward [Jason], her caramel braid falling over her shoulder. Her multicolored eyes made it hard for him to think straight. "And where is this place?" she asked. "A . . . uh, a town called Split." "Split." She smelled really good--like blooming honeysuckle. "Um, yeah." Jason wondered if Piper was working some sort of Aphrodite magic on him--like maybe every time he mentioned Reyna's name, she would befuddle him so much he couldn't think about anything but Piper. He supposed it wasn't the worst sort of revenge." piper-mclean Rick Riordan
97a4da4 Piper was maybe the most impressive. She fenced with the giantess Periboia, sword against sword. Despite the fact that her opponent was five times larger, Piper seemed to be holding her own. The goddess Aphrodite floated around them on a small white cloud, strewing rose petals in the giantess's eyes and calling encouragement to Piper. 'Lovely, my dear. Yes, good. Hit her again! blood-of-olympus piper-mclean rick-riordan Rick Riordan
a40ac07 "Commander Tool Belt" Jason said. "Bad Boy Supreme" Piper said. "Chef Leo the Tofu Taco Expert." They laughed and told stories about Leo valdez, their best friend. They stayed on the roof until dawn rose, and Piper started to believe they could have a fresh start. It might even be possible to tell a new story in which Leo was still out there. Somewhere..." heartbreaking jason-grace leo-valdez memories piper-mclean Rick Riordan
c520c5c Some pain shouldn't be wished away so easily. It had to be dealt with, even embraced. Without the agony of the last few months, Piper never would have found her best friends, Hazel and Annabeth. She never would've discovered her own courage. She certainly wouldn't have had the guts to sing show tunes to the snake people under Athens. frienship hurt pain piper-mclean Rick Riordan
efa2e77 "Hey." Leo grinned, which was unnerving in the flames, his teeth like molten silver ingots. "I told you I had a plan. When are you going to trust me? And by the way- I love you guys." Festus claw opened, and Jason and Piper fell. Jason had no strengh to stop it. He held on to Piper as she cried Leo's name, and they plummeted earthward." last-moment leo-valdez piper-mclean Rick Riordan
