"hi" I squeaked. he smiled, gods I loved that smile. "hi." he said, his curly black hair flopping into his face. I took a deep breath. he smelled like motor oil and charcoal. I smiled stupidly. He smiled back. for a second we just sat there, completely ignoring our surroundings. "Sorry." I said at last, standing up, and holding a hand out for him. 

He took it and pulled himself up.

"Sam are you a squirrel?"

"No, why would I be a squirrel?"

"Because you were climbing a tree."

I shook my head and shoved him a little, but apparently I pushed him a little too hard. He fell backwards and tried to grab onto my hands for stability, but only managed to pull me down on top of him. Where I might of accidentally landed on him in the exact spot where my lips were pressed onto his.

My eyes widened in shock, and I tried to sit up, but I was frozen to the spot. When I could feel my legs again I stood up and ran towards the Persephone cabin.

"Andrea!" I yelled barging through the door.

"We need to get started with the plan, it's almost lunch time."

She jumped up from her bed and said: "what is the plan almighty planner?"

"We catch them in their own trap."

She smirked; she just loved it when other people's plans backfired.

"First we need to find what they did, and I have a feeling that I know what it is." "What did they do then?" She asked eager to start. "They set up a whole bunch of traps. Why else would they need the Hephaestus cabin on their side? They can sense the traps." "The biggest trap would be a pit surrounding their banner; that's why they were all dirty. They woke early and started to dig." She nodded. "First we have to take the Hephaestus cabin and keep them prisoner so they can't help the opposing side."

"Who are all of our allies?" She asked. "We have Apollo, Ares, Nemesis, Persephone, Demeter, Hades, Hecate, Poseidon, and Aphrodite. They have everyone else. I'm pretty sure that they thought the traps would work so they didn't get many cabins." "Ares and Nemesis can attack to take the Hephaestus cabin. Demeter and Hecate can protect the banner; they can use magic and grow vines and stuff to protect it." She said "that leaves Apollo, Persephone, Hades Poseidon, Aphrodite, and Athena." "Apollo can shoot from the trees, you and your siblings are good with bows too, help the Apollo cabin. Hades cabin can raise the dead, we can have dead soldiers at the offense, Percy is good with that too, he can help, but we need to position him at the river. Aphrodite cabin is stealthy so they can take away some of their forces. That leaves only Athena, we can attack head on, lead them away from the banner." I said. She smiled "perfect." "And that is why I am the planner." I said. We smiled, and went to ensure our forces.

I first went to the Aphrodite cabin to find my friend Alexis. "Hey Alex." I said walking through the door. "Sup Sam?" "Nothing, you?" "Just thinking." She said. "Bout what?" I asked as I sat on her bed with her.

"About capture the flag. The thing is I don't know if I should do it." "Give me your sword." I said. She reached under her bed and grabbed a four foot blade with the initial "A" carved into it. "Who gave you this sword?" "My mother." "Would Aphrodite give her daughter a sword if it weren't meant to be used?" "Aphrodite does like to look at her reflection a lot." She reasoned. "Yes, but she has a mirror for that. The reason Aphrodite gave you that sword is so you can use it in battle." "That does kinda make a little sense." "Now I know that the Aphrodite cabin usually just sits on the side lines and watches, but there are at least three brave children in your cabin." I said "who?" She asked. "Francis, Piper and you Alex." She smiled at the floor. "Thanks Sam, you really know what to say."

Alexis is the youngest of my friends. She's only thirteen, while everyone else is around fifteen or fourteen. She just got here a month ago, but she already knows a lot of things about us demigods. "Let's go get lunch, and then you can do my hair." She squealed in delight. She may be a fierce worrier, but no daughter of Aphrodite can resist doing my hair. I'll admit it is a little creepy having the whole Aphrodite cabin wanting to touch and style my hair, but i got used to it. I stood up and took her outstretched hand. We walked in a comfortable silence about half of the way to the dinning pavilion. Then something happened.
