Whether or not that was what he meant to say, that was how she took it. AJ won at life, and that was that.
"Either way..." It was her idea first, and Adi may have had the same thought process as she did, but she got there first. That made her the winner. There was no use in harping on that though. Adi knew how she was.
"I didn't want to start all over." The lesson was about to move on, and she didn't have time to do it again. Come to find out it didn't even matter. AJ really did understand that Adi was just trying to look out for her, but sometimes just lending a hand would be nice.
Greedy was something that AJ was not. Did she love to scarf sweet treats? Duh, but that didn't mean she wouldn't share them. He was kidding though so she let that little comment slide. Oh really now?
"Fine, I can go find a more helpful partner." Had to call his bluff.
"That's better," she said with a huge smile on her face. She loved that they could tease each other this way without anyone getting mad over it.
Competition time.
"It's going to be me, but let's do it." It was nice for it to be all official. AJ picked up and apple first.
"Magimus!" The circle was drawn. There weren't any sparks and the apple looked normal. This was a competition AJ. You have to get your head in the game.
"Magimus." She traced a circle over the fruit again. This time sparks were happening, and she was looking at a bright and shiny apple.
"You are so going down."
