Sorry for the long update time! I have been re-reading the PJO books before the Son of Neptune comes out tomorrow! AHHHHH who else is shaking in anticipation? I know most of you won't care about this and go skip ahead but for anyone who cares about what I would like to happen read on! Okay I am kind of hoping that Percy and Annabeth have to go back to being friends. I know a lot of people hate this idea but I don't enjoy books as much when the two characters are actually in a relationship. Anyone else feel this way? Oh well if you are planning on reading the book you can place hopes/predictions in the reviews I would love to chat about it with someone! Okay and thanks for all the reviews and putting in your opinions hope I please everyone!

"Yeah. After lunch." She suggested, and the group turned to their food, famished from their morning to exercise.

Percy and Annabeth squared off from one another. Hermione, Harry and Ron were sitting a few yards away observing the spar.

"My bets on Percy." Ron said to his mates.

"Annabeth is so going to win." Hermione said, having faith in her new friend.

"Harry?" Ron asked.

"Uh . . . Not sure. Percy said Annabeth is quick but I don't know what her knife is going to do against his sword. Could go either way." He said diplomatically.

In the center of the arena Annabeth faced Percy. "You ready to lose Sea Weed Brain?" She tempted.

"Never going to happen Wise Girl." He countered.

Annabeth laughed, her grey eyes sparkling in anticipation. She placed her feet in a staggered stance as she lowered her center of gravity, so she wouldn't be knocked off her feet with the first strike. Percy mirrored her motions, Riptide extending from his arm.

"On your mark. Get set. GO!" Ron yelled from the side. Hermione wondered if this was the way one actually started a demigod duel, but her mind abandoned the idea when the fight began. Percy lunged with the first attack. Annabeth parried the strike easily, and came in for one of her own that Percy blocked. The pair exchanged thrusts, and jabs for minutes as the wizards watched. The two demi-gods moved as if they were dancing. When Percy lashed forward, Annabeth swiftly pulled back, only to push forward with grace. The back and forth went on for another few minutes, until Annabeth decided to go in for the kill. Well figuratively. She wasn't going to really kill Sea Weed Brain, though it was tempting sometimes.

Percy lunged forward, as he had done multiple times during the spar, but Annabeth knocked the blade away with her own, and instead of retreating, she stepped forward closer to Percy, so he had very little range to strike her. She quickly elbowed him on the inside of his arm, which got him to loosen his grip on Riptide, and slack his defenses. While he was re-grasping his sword, Annabeth made a move to slide, her right leg behind Percy's, and lock her right arm around his neck. In one quick motion she flipped Percy over her own leg so he landed facing upwards on the ground, with Annabeth hovering over him knife pressed to his throat. "You're . . . " She started to whisper triumphantly, planning on saying you're dead until a large shape, too big to be anything that had regular residence at camp, caught her eye by the entrance. Standing at the door to the arena was a giant that apparently, no one else had noticed.

Percy, who she was still hovering over, did not understand while Annabeth had suddenly given up on the fight when she was seconds away from winning. He didn't care though; he was going to take advantage of her distracted state. He quickly wrapped his leg around hers, and freed his other hand to push her shoulder back, so that he was the one on top.

Annabeth felt Percy's attack coming as he started it, but figured it would be quicker to let him accomplish the move, and then tell him about the impending problem. He filled her deftly, until he was directly over her. Not that she minded really, but when there is a giant that probably wants to kill you, just a stones through away, things like having the boy you like inches away from you, can take a back seat. "Got you Wise Girl." He whispered in her ear, happy to have beaten her.

"Let me up Percy!" She said more urgently than neccessary. "Percy! Look by the door!" She screamed when he didn't get off of her. He raised his gaze to see what Annabeth was talking about.

"HOLY ZEUS!" He yelled in reaction to the giant that was currently approaching. He got up quickly offering Annabeth a hand. "GUYS!" He yelled to the wizards. "Get up against the far wall!" The three looked behind them, and ran, just as the giant started to charge. The monster ran at Percy and Annabeth who stood ready to fight. "What is that? And more importantly how do we kill it?" Percy asked Annabeth. The giant, now 20 yards away, let out a roar of fire.

"It's Kakos!" Annabeth filled him in. "Hercules killed it." She offered just as the beast approached. Percy jumped to the side, spun around to slash the giant's calf. Annabeth side stepped, as Percy had, but focused on the shin with her dagger. The giant let out a wail, and some more fire, before spinning around for another attack, though this time with a slight limp. "Keep it distracted!" Annabeth yelled to Percy, as she ran to the corner of the arena that they stored the bow and arrows in. She grabbed a bow, and a dozen arrows before sprinting back to help Percy, who was currently taunting the giant. She loaded the bow and shot one arrow at the giants chest, another in the eye, followed by another in the other eye. When he opened his mouth to roar again she shot two more arrows into his disgusting mouth. She ran forward, unsure if more attacks were needed, but the monster exploded into dust, as many do, covering her and Percy in the dust.

Hope you liked it. Review!
