Luke Castellan: So, Ares, huh? What was that like?
Percy Jackson: Well… compared to the Chimera on Monday and Medusa on Sunday, could have been a lot worse.
Annabeth Chase: Medusa was Saturday.
Percy Jackson: I thought Sunday.

Luke Castellan: Guys, what is this?
Percy and Annabeth (at the same time): What?

Why we collected this quote
We love this because of Luke’s “old married couple” tease. It highlights how close Percy and Annabeth have become during their trauma-filled week.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
The trio is recapping their schedule of near-death experiences. They are bickering over the timeline of when they fought Medusa versus the Chimera. Luke interrupts their arguing to point out how well they know each other now, teasing their chemistry.
Book vs TV Series
In the book, monster encounters are terrifying and confusing. The show uses this line for dark, developing camaraderie and humor! It turns the horrific events (like the river fight) into a casual calendar dispute, which normalizes the chaos. This dark humor highlights how absurd their lives are and shows the bond forming between Percy and Annabeth.
