Joining the Hats

Chapter 2: Laser Tag

Mia's POV:
I sat in the back of the laser tag truck with the top part of my cameo uniform tide around my waist, I had a car-key coloured singlet on and fake dog tags which had my name on one and my dads name on the other. Joey came around to the back of the truck. "Us two boys are going to join in so all you have to do is set up the boxes whilst I explain how it works."
"Kay," I gave him the thumbs up. About 10 minutes later just as I lay down in the truck for a bit I heard the first car roll up and three guys got out. One was wearing a burgundy shirt with darkish cream pants, he was really tall and he was also ginger. Another was also quite tall but he had denim shorts that came past his knees and a black shirt, he had black hair. The last was maybe about as tall as I was and he was wearing a purple checkered shirt with denims past knee length, he had brown hair with a similar style to me. I had cut my hair off after the crash as it got caught on a piece of the car and nearly got me killed so I forever hated it being long. "Gentlemen," Joey said greeting them with a hand shake, I just waved from the truck not really wanting to move. Then the next car showed up and 4 people stepped out, that makes 7. Two men and two women stepped out. One was quiet short and Asian looking, the other had an owl shirt on. One of the boys wore a red checkered shirt. The other was tall but not as tall as the two men who got out from the other car he had shaggy blond hair. "Where's Sjin," the short man of the three asked.
"He's not showing got sick yesterday." I jumped off the truck knowing I'd have to join in. I stood next to one of the girls. "Hi I'm Kim this is Hannah, Lewis, Duncan, Alex or Smith, Chris or Trott and Ross," she pointed to all of the people they waved at me I awkwardly waved back. "I'm Mia, this is Joseph but you can call him Joey and Kian." I pointed to the two, Kian awkwardly waved, he was just a young man only 20 looking for a job for some money. "Ok who was the other person supposed to go with," Joey said. The three guys, Alex, Chris and Ross put up their hands and I just walked over and stood beside Chris, I was about the same height as him. "Ok so I the first game will just be a generic game to get the feel then we shall go to capture the flag and then a bit of a different one still hasn't got a name, it's where you have to keep a box hidden somewhere or out in the open and the longer it's captured to one side that side wins," Joey said, "ok let's go." I calmly walked for the sniper as I was a crack shot with it. "Shot gun the sniper," Alex said.
"That won't end well," I laughed and picked it up.
"Damn, next round then."
"Sure," I smiled at him. He looked like this was his environment out here in the bush but then again it was mine as well my name didn't suit it but who cares about stereotypes. "Mia is a very pretty name for someone out in the bush half the time," Chris said.
"Fuck stereotypes," I covered my mouth, "shoot sorry I need to watch my mouth whilst I'm here."
"Don't worry about swearing your probably going to here a whole lot of it." Kian placed down the box and set it up. "Alright we are ready to go," Kian said into the walkie-talkie.
"Yep all good here to," Joey replied. Kian counted down and we all ran into the bush I ran straight for the mound and Alex followed. "Not a good idea to follow," I said to him as I got up into the tree above the mound. "Why not," he said silently so it didn't look like he was talking to someone. I saw a large man creeping around and shot at his head where the censor was. "Oh come on," he said standing up and slowly walking back. We played back and forth till the round ended I got 23 kills and only two deaths. My team won. "Ok now for capture the flag each team has a designated flag." Joey handed me the Australian flag and the other team the British flag. "Mia and I shall explain what to do along the way." We split off and I went to where there was a slight mini road sort of thing so we could see clearly there and as it was open they were most likely to run there but the flag was hidden in the bush a bit more, I knew exactly where Joey was going to hide the flag and what his tactic was. "Ok for CTF we hide the flag in a good spot, still visible and also still easy to get to."
"There," Ross pointed to a tallish tree that had a lot of shrubs around it so I put the flag in the tree and made sure it was still reachable. "Ok so what we should do is stay here and defend as Joey is going to send a few people out and keep some back," I said. Alex held up his sniper and I nodded. After about 20 mins Ross and I were getting closer to the flag and I saw Joey just pop his head out and I shot it giving Ross the time to run and grab the flag. Just as he passed it to me he was shot so I ran the flag as fast as I could whist zig zagging through the the trees and handed it to Chris as I was now shot and he I just ran with him as I had to get back to base anyway and we won. "We won bitches," Alex said running up and high fiving us all. We had a short sit down and lunch before we played capture the tower as we decided the name to be. I over heard the people talking about minecraft and gmod. I laughed to myself when Alex started complaining about how hard it was and the other two kept saying that's what she said. "Eavesdropping are we," Lewis said.
"No sorry I just over heard you talking about minecraft and gmod stuff."
"You play that," Hannah asked.
"I have a YouTube channel."
"Cool how many subs."
"4 and a half million," I said smiling.
"What the actual fuck," Alex said.
"Not kidding you can even check it out its MyrianWolf spelt M-Y-R-I-A-N."
"Ok sure to," Lewis said smiling, "maybe you should join us sometime."
"Yeah that'd be cool." I smiled. We started the next game and Joey's team won as they had managed to get the one 'towers' that was out in the open and it was almost impossible to get to it after that. As Lewis was leaving he told me something. "Our YouTube channels are the Yogscast we each have separate ones though and those three guys are hatfilms." The names seemed familiar. Then I remembered Lizzy had mentioned them at one point, she said I was so lucky that I was living in the same town as them. Lizzy lived in London and got to see Dan and Phil just walking around whereas I'd get to see hatfilms and the Yogscast I always kept an eye out but then sorta just stopped. "Oh yeah hold on a moment please," I said running up to the hat guys. "Yeah what is it," Chris said.
"My friend is a fan and I said I'd keep an eye out for if I ever saw you and well." Chris laughed. "Mind if I get a picture." They nodded and the other Yogscast got in the pic as well. "Thanks guys," I smiled and put the thumbs up then sent it to Lizzy.
Mia- Look who I got to play laser tag with
Liz- OMFG NO WAY, WHOS TEAM
Mia- Lizzy please remember to turn off your caps lock
Liz- Soz not soz but what team

I put my phone back in my pocket and packed up the guns into the truck and all the little boxes and stuff then headed off home.
