“The crew gathered for a hurried meeting on the foredeck— mostly because Percy was keeping an eye on a giant red sea serpent swimming off the port side.
“That thing is really red,” Percy muttered. “I wonder if it’s cherry-flavored.”
“Why don’t you swim over and find out?” Annabeth asked.
“How about no.””
