Reversed

Heeeeeey! Um, so, I guess you're all reading this because you think it's an update. WAIT! It is. I'm just messing with you! So, golfing, anyone?

Disclaimer: Guys, we've been over this!


Annabeth was surprised Clarisse could move that fast in those death traps she called shoes. Come on, Annabeth thought, she's already a freaking supermodel. And then, she's still tall. So why does she need eight inch heels?

They'd arrived at Putter's, the best mini-golf course they could find. Also the closest and the cheapest mini-golf course around.

"Clarisse, is this necessary? I mean we have camp. That counts for a million dates," Percy said.

"Percy, mini-golf is the sweetest date. Ever. Now, please don't complain. I just want to enjoy tonight," Clarisse said, kissing him and ultimately making him shut up.

"Chris, you actually go along with this?" Percy asked.

"Nah, but anytime spent with Annabeth is the best time of my life, and I want to have a lot of best times."

"That was…beautiful," Clarisse said. She looked like she was contemplating something.

Chris smirked. His plan was starting to work.

"Yep. Isn't Chris the sweetest? He's so sensitive, funny, and smart." Annabeth through that last one in there to annoy Percy. It worked. He looked livid.

"Hey, I'm smart!" he protested.

"That's a difference. All Athena kids are smart. But Chris is…smart." Annabeth was convinced Chris was a different type of smart.

Percy was book smart. Percy was street smart. But most of all, Percy was just…smart. There wasn't really a word to describe it.

Chris, on the other hand, was a sneaky, conniving, weasely, but yet…poetic. He had a musical smarts, while Percy had an aurora around him that yelled "GENIUS!"

"Makes no difference. Percy's a catch. He's the smartest guy around," Clarisse said, but she didn't sound too sure of it.

"Hey, cuties. How you doing?" A set of twins walked up behind them. Annabeth realized she knew those voices.

She turned around to see the Stoll's brothers had walked up behind them.

"Oh my gosh! Percy? Chris and Annabeth? Clarisse? What're you…oh no, we just hit on Annabeth and Clarisse. We're sorry. GARDENER!" Travis yelled, flushing bright red.

Katie Gardener rolled on the ground, laughing. Her brown hair was pinned up, and she wore black clothes, like she was about to rob a bank, (which wouldn't be unusual, considering her dad's Hermes) but decided to mess with the Stoll's first. Her green eyes sparkled with moister. She was crying.

"I can't believe you took that stupid dare, Stoll's. I thought you were supposed to be smart!" Katie cackled.

"Shut it, Gardener. Least we don't have a crush on…" Travis let his voice trail off. Katie's laughing stopped immediately.

"Not so tough now, huh? We got dirt on you!" Connor yelled.

"I don't believe you. You're bluffing. You two goody two-shoes rarely leave camp, or those strawberry fields. What, you going to snitch to the strawberries I like T- who my crush is," Katie recovered, but it was weak.

"T? Whose name starts with T at camp? There's Trevor, Tim, Theo…Travis," Connor started rattling off names.

Travis's ear turned pink. He slapped Connor upside his head.

"Yow! Ouch, what was that for?" Connor asked, rubbing the back of his head.

"For being an idiot!" Both Katie and Travis yelled this, causing them to turn beet red.

"Well, this was great, but we need to get golfing. Because it's what my…lovely girlfriend suggested," Percy said, grabbing Clarisse's hand and pulling her away. He sounded irritated.

Wow, Annabeth thought as Chris pulled her away, Percy's never sounded annoyed with Clarisse. He's always so calm with her. Her wish is his command.

They played a few rounds (A/N: I've never played golf outside of the Wii, so I have no idea how this works. Just bear with me, people.)of golf, we headed back to Camp Half-Blood.


Annabeth was sitting on the beach, as usual. She was thinking about her and Chris's fake relationship. She knew it wasn't real. She knew he loved Clarisse. But some feeling in her gut told her she might have a crush on Chris, too. All she could think was, what would happen if that crush grew? Would she still love Percy?

"Hey, Annabeth," a voice said from behind her. She knew who it was. Although it was obvious for a daughter of Poseidon to be at the beach, only one person would ever come talk to her.

"'Sup, Perce? Fun double date, huh?" she managed to say.

"Look, we need to talk." Percy was now sitting beside her.

"About what, the next date? Maybe we should go to the Aquarium. Or how about-" Annabeth began, but was cut off by Percy.

"You know exactly what I want to talk about, Chase." Percy said.

Annabeth started sweating. Had Grover broken his promise? Had he, somehow, found a way to tell Percy?

"N- No I don't, Jackson. So, err, w- w- what are you talking about?" Annabeth stuttered.

"I'm talking about- I'm talking about us, Annabeth. What's going on with us? We're best friends. We tell each other…everything. Right?" Percy sounded suspicious.

"Right. And, so, uh…I'm sorry, why are we having this talk again, Percy?"

"I thought- it seems like- Annabeth, I feel like you're flaunting Chris around. Like you're throwing him in my face. You're above this, Annabeth. I mean you love to be called Annie by Chris Rodriguez? Get real," Percy scoffed.

Annabeth was fuming. Here he was, trying to criticize her "boyfriend", when he'd thrown a hissy fit about his girlfriend. How dare he tell her what she was above, even though he was probably right?

"Don't talk about me that! I'm not flaunting Chris at you! If anything, you're flaunting Clarisse at me! It's just not right! You're such a hypocrite!" Annabeth screamed in his face.

Surprisingly, Percy didn't get mad. He just looked out into the ocean calmly. When he finally spoke, his words surprised both him and Annabeth.

"Annabeth, I know Chris likes Clarisse. And- as much as I try and deny it- I think she likes him too. Annabeth, I- I don't know what to do. I think- I have a feeling Clarisse is going to break up with me. And I think Chris will dump you, too. Please, Annabeth. I don't want to see you heartbroken. Please…breakup with Chris."

Annabeth was shocked. Percy was… sad. He was heartbroken. All over a girl she told him not to date.

"Percy, I don't want to see you heartbroken. I'll be fine. But, you've grown so attach- you've grown to love Clarisse. Me and Chris are just starting out." We aren't even dating because we love each other, she added mentally.

"Annabeth, I don't think I can do it. I can't breakup with her. She's so sweet. She's kind and she's-" Annabeth cut him off.

"Beautiful. That's most off what make Clarisse, well, Clarisse, Percy. Her beauty is her biggest prize."

Again, Annabeth was shocked when Percy didn't say anything. She turned to face him. Percy looked like he had tears in his eyes.

Silently, Annabeth leaned over and hugged him. She started to cry, too. When Percy was sad, so was Annabeth.

"Ssshhh, it's okay, Annabeth. It's okay." Percy's light grey eyes gazed into hers.

As if they were being pulled together by a magnetic force, Percy and Annabeth started to lean in.

Their lips met in the middle. Suddenly, they both knew what had been missing when they kissed their boyfriend and girlfriend. As their lips touched, as spark, like a bolt of electricity flew through them. Annabeth knew, the moment their lips touched, she would never, ever love Chris like she loved Percy.

It only lasted a second, though. Percy quickly pulled away.

"Annabeth, I'm- I'm sorry. I shouldn't have. You-" Percy stuttered, looking for the right words.

"It's okay, Perce. Don't- don't sweat it. Night," Annabeth said, trying not to sound dejected.

She got up and headed towards her cabin. Annabeth knew exactly why Percy had pulled away. And as soon as dawn hit, she was going to confront it.


So, how'd you like? Are you happy that they kissed? Sad? Can't wait for Annabeth to confront Clarisse? Me either! Review, Favorite, Follow, all that!
