"I'm winning, okay?" scoffed Percy. "You can't possibly beat me every single time we play!"

"Nope, I'm pretty sure that I'm in the lead, Percy," smirked Annabeth. "You know, for being such a great fighter, the fact that you can't keep up with me for this is embarrassing." Suddenly Percy's car pulled ahead and he pumped his fist in the air.

"Beat that, Red Team Luigi!" he yelled excitedly.

"Calm down, Percy," groaned his girlfriend. "Gods, it's only Mario Kart. Why are you so proud? Besides, you're still in 10th place and I'm in first." She made a sharp turn to the left, tugging her remote in another direction. "Why do you find this hard?"

"Well you're a genius daughter of Athena and all!" he whined as he bumped into yet another wall. "It comes easy for you."

"Uh huh," she said skeptically. "When I bought this new game for our apartment, I didn't think you would get addicted to it so quickly. This is the first time I've played this game, so it's not like I'm trying to get you to fail. You're just really good at loosing." This elicited a frown from her boyfriend.

"I am totally capable of winning game," she shook her head and he blushed over the controller. "Games."

"Nice save," she snorted, cracking her knuckles and sighing. "Another lap is being won by the Red Team." She was just a couple digital turns from the finish line (and therefore victory for her team, again) when Percy whooped behind her on the couch. Annabeth turned around, a little confused.

"I got the rainbow box-thing!" he cried out maniacally. He passed everyone in a matter of seconds, Annabeth's eyes widening as he stole her victory from her.

"What? But that's not . . . How did you . . . Percy!" she shouted, almost angry now. Instead of ranting at him, though, she melted, because her Seaweed Brain went up to her and kissed her full on the lips. She pulled away after a while, blinking. "But I - "

"Hey, I said I was going to end up winning," he smiled.
