Sorry for not updating for so long, believe when I say that it has been one heck of a school year and it's not even over yet. I do plan on writing faster though since I seem to be in the mood and trying to get more work done until another writer's block hits me *sighs*. Anyway, just wanted to thank all my reviews, you guys are made of gold I swear! I love you! Now on with the chapter!

As always, I don't own PJO or HoO, RR does however.

It could be said that the moment Annabeth arrived in Camp Jupiter she knew that something bad was going to happen. Well except, you know, having to defeat mother earth and not really knowing how and having her boyfriend not remembering her and falling for some other girl and then having the blonde kill him for not being faithful.

Percy did remember though and he missed her as much as she missed him, but she still had to punch him in the arm for the months she didn't close an eye and constantly looked for him. Things seemed to be going a little better, six of the demigods from the prophecy were chosen and they were now waiting for a sign from the gods to board the Argo II and leave for Rome.

She had to admit that despite forcing herself to dislike the Roman camp she was secretly enjoying the little time they were spending here. They had a great architecture and they were more war like than the Greeks. They were stricter and seemed ready for everything. Sometimes she thought that Camp Half-Blood could use a little more discipline but then she scolded herself for that.

The ones that were in charge of the camp were the two praetors selected by the people. She wasn't sure if she approved of such a method or better said she wasn't sure how well teens could administrate a whole camp. They always had Chiron and Mr.D, more or less, to watch over them but what about the Romans? It seemed like they always had to take care of everything and Annabeth respected them for that even if she would never admit it out loud.

Percy had now been elected as praetor and Annabeth wasn't particularly happy about it. When she saw a brunette girl standing right next to him with a matching toga she felt her blood boil in her veins. She had to admit that she wasn't fond of Reyna and snapped at her on several occasions. It wasn't until she was finally able to talk privately to Percy that the son of Poseidon explained to her who Reyna was and what they did to her four years ago. It was fair to say that Annabeth felt quite bad, true it wasn't completely their fault but Reyna and Hylla both had to suffer because of it and all the other girls as well. She hated Circe but the girls on the island did not deserve such a faith. She could now understand why the eldest daughter of Bellona kept glaring at her as though she wished to rip the blonde apart.

The daughter of Athena was pacing around the Argo II as she waited for Percy to comeback. Despite the fact that Reyna had allowed them access in camp and even let them sleep in the fifth cohort she still felt more comfortable being around their war ship. Percy had excused himself after dinner saying that he had something important to do and Annabeth knew he was going to talk to Reyna. That's her Seaweed Brain, always so kind hearted to everyone. When she saw the way Reyna looked at Jason and Piper she understood that the brunette girl only had someone on her mind and in her heart and that someone wasn't her Percy.

She wondered if it was a good idea to let him go though, he didn't particularly handled these types of situations well. Maybe she could have a talk to Reyna instead, with this occasion she would also apologize for what happened on the island.

She nodded to herself and put on her Yankees baseball cap just to make sure she wouldn't run into any sort of trouble while she made her way towards the praetor's villa. As she looked at the Romans she couldn't help but feel that they weren't so different from the Greeks. Well obviously inferior but still demigods who trained, went on quests and helped save the world from the bad guys. Maybe, just maybe, they could co-exist.

Her mind drifted to Jason and she frowned deeply. She knew that kid couldn't be trusted from day one. He was a son of Zeu-Jupiter alright, being a player and dating someone even if he already had a girl waiting for him back home. True that Annabeth didn't know what was going on between him and Reyna and she wasn't sure if she even liked the brunette girl but that still didn't give him the right to act like such a high and mighty jerk. She really couldn't begin to imagine what either Piper or Reyna saw in that boy.

Approaching the villa she began to hear loud noises and soon enough she heard Percy and Jason screaming at each other. She quickly took off her cap and practically ran towards them, feeling her heart exploding from her chest when she saw the two boys fighting, Reyna just standing near them looking quite uncomfortable and distressed while Hazel just looked amused.

"What's going on here?" Her eyes narrowed at the two girls and Reyna looked up at her in a shocked way. Hazel murmured something to her praetor before making a run for it leaving the brunette to face a very angry Annabeth.

"H-Hey, Annabeth. Nice evening, out for a walk?"

"Are you out of your mind? These two look like they're ready to kill each other! Why didn't you try to stop them?"

"Trust me, I've tried but they're just so damn stubborn!"

Annabeth rolled her eyes and grabbed Percy's arms trying to get him away from Jason. She didn't know that her boyfriend could scratch this well. "Percy, stop it! If anyone sees you two fighting they'll-"

"I'm fighting for true love!"

"It's only one-sided! Reyna doesn't love you back!"

Annabeth released the boy who quickly returned to his fight with the blond son of Jupiter. Her head turned ever so slowly to Reyna who was giving her an awkward stare.

"Care to explain?"

"If I knew, I would, but I don't. Look one second he was the Percy we all know and the next he began to proclaim his undying love for me."

The blonde girl could have sworn that fume was now coming out of her ears and her eyes were burning flames. She took out her Celestial bronze knife and looked ready to cut Reyna into tiny little pieces. The girl sensing this quickly drew her weapon as well but did not attack.

"Calm down, this is not what it looks like."

"Do you want to know what it looks like to me? You grew up on Circe's island! She probably taught you how to charmspeak and use magic and when you saw that you couldn't get your way with Jason you tried to get my Percy!" She launched herself at Reyna but the girl quickly blocked the attack.

"Listen to me, I would never put my camp in danger in order to get a boy! Gaea wants us to fight, she's aiming at the fact that the Romans and Greeks won't get along! Don't give her any satisfaction!"

"I wouldn't have to if you gave me enough reasons to trust you but all you Romans are liars!"

"How dare you! You're the liars! That Argo II could very well be another Trojan horse filed with Greeks ready to attack us yet I gave you permission to stay in our camp and this is how you repay me!"

By now the fighting was inevitable and Annabeth realized she had gone too far. In the back of her mind she knew Reyna was right. If she wanted Percy she would have charmspoken him way before the Argo II arrived and while Percy told her about Reyna offering him the praetor position he also explained it was only because she was desperate to protect her camp and the other choice was that creepy augur.

"Okay, let's stop and think this through."

"That's what I've been saying from the beginning."

With red cheeks both girls pulled away from one another and stared at the two boys who were now throwing childish insults at each other.

"I heard that you were a lady killer. They take one look at you and die of shock!"

"They say opposites attract so now wonder you went for Reyna who is beautiful, honest, intelligent, and cultured!"

As the boys continued in what seemed to be a slapping match Reyna and Annabeth exchanged a knowing look before shortly nodding at each other. They crept behind the two boys and quickly knocked them out before they had time to realize what was going on.

"At least they're not fighting but what do we do next?"

"Get them inside my villa and wait for them to come back to their senses."

Annabeth heaved deeply before grabbing Percy by the legs and pulling him towards the entrance. This was not how she imagined their first night together. When both boys were safely placed on a couch she let herself collapse in an empty chair as her stormy grey eyes rolled to the ceiling.

"They're going to be fine. Don't worry."

The blonde glanced at Reyna and wanted to laugh because she looked pretty worried herself. "Do you really think it's Gaea?" Reyna just shook her head and sighed.

"I first suspected that they were drunk, probably one of Dakota's special drinks, but now it seems more serious. It would make a good plan. Have them both fight and then the Greeks blaming it on me and then everything falling apart from there. This is why we must keep them away from the other campers. If they are charmspoken then it won't last that long."

Annabeth did not reply but just decided to focus her attention on Percy. He began to droll in his sleep…well knockout state and that reminded Annabeth of the first time he arrived in camp. A scrawny boy that was too sarcastic for his own good and managed to get on her bad side from day one was now her strong and loving boyfriend who had his mind twisted by mother earth.

"He loves you, you know." Reyna's words came like a bucket of cold water and she stared at her as though she couldn't believe her ears. "When he came to camp you were the only one he remember so that must mean something. Jason…obviously didn't remember me." Annabeth wanted to tell the brunette that the real reason why she thought Percy remembered her was because the Achilles curse yet she wasn't sure if she should give Reyna so much information.

"I don't think that love had anything to do with it. Jason remembered only Thalia in the beginning and since he was taken away by Hera when he was just a kid I doubt he had many memories of her."

It was Reyna's turn to go quiet and Annabeth watched her as she walked towards one of the cabinets. She wanted to say something more encouraging to her but then again she didn't know if it would be fair to Piper.

The brunette girl took something out from one of the drawers before walking to the small coffee table near the window. "Come on, we're playing cards." Annabeth blinked a few times and didn't know how to react to Reyna's proposition.

"Do you want to talk about our love lives all night long or play cards? I also have a chess board."

With a smile, the blonde girl stood up and walked towards the praetor. "Deal me in." It was going to be a long night anyway.

Hoped you enjoyed reading! Who do you think I should write next? The boys probably won't have their own PoV until the fifth chapter or something. Mayne Cupid who gets a heart attack when he seems what happened or maybe Leo in order to bring more humor to the story. You decide in your review!
