However, we do know that their first meeting in *The Lightning Thief* wasn't exactly smooth! Here's a breakdown of what happened:
* Percy first saw Annabeth while on a quest to find the missing lightning bolt. She was trying to steal a golden fleece from a monster.
* Their first interaction was tense and hostile. Annabeth attacked Percy, thinking he was a monster, and they briefly fought before realizing they were on the same side.
* Annabeth's first words to Percy after the fight were likely along the lines of "Who are you?" and "Why are you trying to steal the Golden Fleece?"
Although their first meeting was rough, it was clear they were both incredibly intelligent and resourceful, setting the stage for their future friendship and eventually, their romantic relationship.
