"My first words were not 'I'm going to kill her'," Percy says. "My first word was 'fish.' Just ask my mom."

"In the series," the person says. "The first thing you said in the books."

"Oh," Percy says. 

"...Why was Percy trying to kill someone?" Hazel asks.

"Nancy Bobofit," Percy says. "I think. That's how I start my story when someone asks. She was probably bullying either me or Grover."

"Why would someone ever bully the great Percy Jackson?" Leo asks.

Percy looks at his friend like Leo had grown a second head. "I'm a loser," Percy explains. "A freak. I was an easy target."

Now it's Leo's turn to look at Percy like he'd grown another head. "I don't see it."

"Why isn't anyone questioning Nico's first words?" Jason asks. 

"Well, there was this manticore-" Percy starts.

"Dr. Thorn," Annabeth interrupts.

"Yeah, that guy. Anyways, he was threatening Bianca, Nico's full sister."

"Nico has a sister?" Leo asks. "Other than Hazel?"

"Had," Percy corrects. 

No one says anything for a minute.

"Does anyone else think Thalia's first words are a bit dramatic?" Piper asks, breaking the silence. 

"A bit," Percy says. "But Piper, you stole a car? We can be car-stealing buddies!"

Annabeth stares at him. "Percy, when did you steal a car?"

Percy shrugs innocently. "I meant to return it."

Annabeth narrows her eyes. "You didn't answer my question."

"When I had amnesia," he admits. 

Piper high-fives Percy.
