Hey, my Jasper babies! Or Jiper or whatever. This story is kind of mature-ish because of a couple of sentences here and there. So here's the deal: he's a jockey. She's a farmhand. Let's just say that they have a strange relationship.

I decided to make this AU because a lot of AUs portray Percy as a swimmer, but he can also ride horses and stuff, so...

Percy's POV:

I missed the smell of Mom's farm. I missed the horses, Arion and Guido. I hoped they would get along with Blackjack, my racing horse. There had been so many races recently, it would be nice to take a break and ride through the woods instead along a track. Plus, I had friends - well, a friend, a farmhand - that I missed so much. I wondered if she would even recognize me.

Annabeth's POV:

Every night, I would stay up late watching Percy's races on my minuscule TV. I hadn't seen him in three years. Every time I saw him on television, it was hard to believe that it was him. It was actually him.

He looked so much older. I mean, he was older, but he looked so much more... handsome? Cute? Hot?

Stop it, I thought. Annabeth, you can't start thinking of him like that. He's your best friend. Plus, he's probably got some rich, beautiful, girlfriend who had too much plastic surgery done now that he's famous.

But it was really hard not to think of him like that, especially when his dark hair framed his tan face, and his green eyes seemed to scream, Please fall in love with me so I can break your heart!

I sighed to myself, knowing it would never happen. But at least I'd get to see him again. He was going to stay at the farm for a while, which meant I got to see him while I was at work. I walked outside, straddled my horse, Porkpie, and rode through the woods and over to Blofis Farm.

*I'm a goofy time skip, yeah, you're a goofy time skip, yeah, we're all goofy time skips, yeah, goofy goofy time skips time skips yeah*

"Annabeth!" shouted Percy when I jumped off of Porkpie and walked him into the stable. Percy ran over to hug me. His grip was tighter but also more gentle than I remembered it.

"Hey! Oh my gods, I missed you so much!" I said. "I'm just surprised that you didn't go to see your mom when you got here."

He grinned. "I did. She said she was so proud of me, yadda, yadda, yadda, but then she got mad at me for not bringing home a pretty girl or whatever. But I told her the only beautiful girl I needed was back here at the farm." He bit his lip.

"Aww," I replied. "You're so sweet to your mom."

He frowned. "Yeah. My mom..."

Percy's POV:

I was losing my mind. How could Annabeth not see that I was talking about her! I thought she was supposed to be the smart one.

When she stepped off her horse, I literally thought she was an angel. Then I realized that it was. In that moment, I realized why I felt so weird around her, why I turned down everyone that flirted with me, why I was so homesick: I was in love with Annabeth.

*this time skip solemnly swears that it is up to no good... wait: wrong fandom*

Annabeth kept talking about horses and stuff. I ignored it all. I just started at her blonde hair. It was gorgeous, the way it sparkled in the sunlight and blew in the wind. At her grey eyes, full of childish joy and seriousness, intelligence and blissful ignorance. At her chest, which had definitely grown.

(A/N) Eww, Percy. You shouldn't think like that. Oh, wait, I wrote this. *evil but adorable giggle*

"Perce? Are you even listening?" she groaned. She was cute when she was mad. "I was trying to tell you about-"

Hormones suck, because you have absolutely no control whatsoever. The next thing I knew, I was kissing Annabeth. The girl who I had a secret crush on since we were twelve. The girl who lived on the other side of the woods. The girl who started working at our farm, but was way out of my league. The girl who was even more out of it now. I was kissing her passionately and I was exploding inside because she was kissing me back.

I told you the time skip was up to no good! So, what did you think? I hope you liked it, my Annacap babies!

Just kidding, Annacap is the worst ship ever. Seriously. Annabeth and her Yankee's hat? Seriously, what the Hades?
