Percabeth Fluff

Let the Games Begin Pt. 2

"OVER THERE! GO! WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!" Annabeth yelled as she fired her nerf gun at upcoming campers from Luke's team. 

It was the opening of the games and they always started with a four way capture the flag game. Percy had a pool noodle for a weapon, it wasn't ideal but it was somewhat like a sword. He would've gone for a nerf gun if Annabeth hadn't ordered everyone else to do so before him. There was one of those nerf fake bow and arrow things but Percy wasn't any good at archery. 

Percy ran frantically through the woods trying to find where Clarisse was running off to with their flag. 

"STOP!" A voice commanded. Out from the bush Will stepped out with the fake bow and arrow. 

"Hey look man, I'm just trying to get our flag back." Percy said in defense. From behind Will a shorter guy came out. His hair was dark and he wore an aviator jacket.

"Yeah a flag that if we let you get back you'll be winning." The guy behind Will said. 

"C'mon Neeks give the new kid a chance, we all deserve one." Will reasoned with him. Nico rolled his eyes.

"You know I don't like it when you get all sunshiny." He mumbled to Will under his breath. 

"You love it." Will whispered back to him. They put their "weapons" down and let Percy continue the chase after Clarisse.

She was fast and Percy was struggling to catch up to her. It had been like what? 10 minutes since Annabeth told him to follow her? Some tree branches scratched his arm but he kept running. She circled around a tree and he had to stop to breathe for a second. He panted but then kept running. He was right behind her when he found a purpose for the pool noodle. He formed it in an arc and tripped her. He took the orange fabric in her hand.

"Wait...this is just a tshirt? Where is our flag?" Percy asked.

"Huh? That isn't your flag Prissy???!!!" Clarisse scowled. She wanted to win.

The horn blew through camp and they all met back at amphitheater. Chiron was standing with Annabeth and the rest of the team minus Percy. 

"Our winners for the first capture the flag game is...Team 4!!!" Everyone clapped even though they were sad about the loss. Chiron flipped the number card on the huge board giving the team 20 points.

Percy marched over to Annabeth who had gained a little bit of an ego since the win. 

"You gave Clarisse a fake flag and made me go after her?! WHAT!!" Percy threw his hands out. Annabeth just shrugged and played with the reload on her nerf gun. 

"If I hadn't have her distracted we would've lost. You should be thanking me." She said. 

Percy rolled his eyes, "Yeah by making me do all the work!" 

She just shrugged again and walked away. Percy groaned and went back to his cabin to get ready for dinner tonight. Right before dinner there would be a short trivia game in the mess hall so teams can get extra points. Grover had said the game was child's play. 10% of questions were hard-ish and the rest were easy.

It was towards the ending of the trivia game when Percy got to answer a question. Chiron took one from the fish bowl and opened it, he smiled.

"Okay Percy, name a yellow fruit." 

Everyone scoffed and rolled their eyes. It was unfair how the counselor got the easy question, but they always say the bowl works in "mysterious ways".
