Two updates a day!!! I am so proud of myself. *wipes away tears*

4 years went by and their enmity increased day by day. It wasn't hatred anymore. Oh no, it was an obsession. An obsession to make each other's life at camp as miserable as possible. They knew each other's timetables by heart, along with their likes and dislikes. Suddenly, Annabeth's entire summer revolved around Percy. Even the rest of the year, when she was back at her kingdom, Athens she spent her time thinking about ways to make Percy regret ever messing with her. She woke up thinking of Percy and fell asleep at night with him in mind. Other's might think she had a crush on Percy, but she knew better. 

However, now was not the time to think about Percy. She had a tournament to win. A duo sword fighting tournament. Their summer camp had a tradition of having sword fighting competition once every year. Each year except one, it had always been Annabeth's team vs Percy's team in the finals, the two of them being the best sword fighters at camp. This year would decide who was more superior in sword fighting and Annabeth had to win, especially since she had also made a bet with Thalia and Piper.

While the teams were being announced, Annabeth thought with satisfaction about the look Percy's face would have when he found out that his precious blue cookies weren't in the bag where he kept them to eat after the tournament. She snapped back to reality when she heard her name being called. 

"Annabeth Chase and... Perseus Jackson." 

Annabeth froze. The last time that she and Percy had been in a team, it had turned into disaster with them almost killing each other instead of working together. That was the only year Annabeth hadn't made it to the finals. Normally, she wouldn't mind killing him, but she really needed to win today. She had a bet with Thalia and Piper and if she lost, well let's just say that the entire city of Athens would have a heart attack watching her cluck like a chicken on stage. Annabeth had to admit that Percy was an amazing swordsman. Second best in the camp after Annabeth. If they both could put their rivalry aside, the other teams wouldn't have a chance against them. But Annabeth didn't know if they both could do that. 

Just then Percy approached her slowly. 

"Look Annabeth," he said as Annabeth stared at him in shock. 

This was the first time he had called her by her name. The very first time he hadn't called her Barbie. 

"I really need to win this competition. So if we could forget the fight just for now..." 

"Why?" Annabeth said, suspiciously. Did Percy have any prank planned?

"Why what?"

"Why do you need to win this competition?" she asked crossing her arms across her chest. 

Percy sighed, "I made this bet with Thalia and Jason and I absolutely need to win." 

Annabeth scowled. Those scoundrels! 

"They plotted this," Annabeth muttered furiously under her breath.

"Huh?"

Annabeth explained, since Percy's brain was obviously too dumb. "I made a bet with Thalia and Piper too. They knew we would be paired up together and hence made the bet knowing that we would be trying to kill each other instead of defeating the opposing team"

Percy blinked twice, looking at her with a blank expression. Then slowly he smirked, "Well then we'll just prove them wrong."

"You bet."
