Being abnormally competitive is basically a requirement for a Smosh cast member. From Uno to Secret Hilter, everything is taken as a serious competition.
When Joe brought up the idea of Extreme Capture the Flag, everyone practically screamed in excitement.
The rules were mostly the same, expect the players would be equipped with paintball guns. If you were hit, you must get in your knees. If a medic can get to you and tap your shoulder, you're good to go. But, if the opposite team no longer wants you as a threat, they have to bring you back to their base to "execute you". The hit player cannot fight back, but a player from his team can. This does not heal the hit player, but they will not be executed since the other guy is hit as well. As an added perk, it all would be glow in the dark.
Most of the cast had been waiting years to play paintball, with years of strategy built up in their minds.
This included Mari.
Since day one she wanted an excuse to pelt Joven with paintballs.
The teams where picked on sight, Ian and Shayne being the captains. As the ranks began to fill, Mari found herself on Ian's team, alongside Courtney.
"I'm so grateful you're on my team," Courtney said as they suited up in the women's locker room.
"Really? Why?"
The younger woman smiled softly,"I just feel safer with you around, I guess."
"Can you zip this?" Boze asked, drawing Courtney away from the conversation.
Mari silently pondered that statement as she laced up her boots.
Ever since that day Courtney came into the office with Joe, nervous to the point of visible shaking, Mari vowed to herself to make sure Courtney was ok. From small rubs on the back to long talks in the middle of the night, Mari was there for Courtney and Courtney was there for Mari.
Mari's thoughts wondered to other things...like Courtney's beautiful blonde hair, mystifying eyes, slim lips...Wait...why was she thinking about Courtney's lips? Mari quickly shook the thought away with a final tug on her shoe strings.

Mari'a team, eloquently named "Paint Ballers", began a meeting shortly after everyone got ready.
Joe quickly announced that he, Matt Raub, Sunny, and Sarah would be patrolling the grounds, making sure everyone is playing safely.
Noah was assigned as the healer and given a a special patch to put on his uniform. Ian then continued with battle tactics.
The place they were playing at was huge, and covered in fake trees and grass.
The flag stood proud in the middle of their base, which Lasercorn and Flitz were to defend with him. Sohinki, Mari, Courtney, and Wes were to follow the sides of the course until they reached the other base camp, Sohinki and Wes on the right and Courtney and Mari on the left.
As they geared up, Joven sauntered over from the other team.
"You know what would be really awesome? If Mari and Courtney made out a little bit out there."
The girls scowled.
"Don't be creepy to my teammates!" Wes defended, warding him off.
Courtney found herself blushing.
Why was she blushing?
They made stupid comments like that all the time. Courtney pushed the feeling away.

The horns sounded, beginning the game. Courtney and Mari crept against the wall, keeping an eye out for the other team. Knowing Shayne, his attempt would probably be 100% aggressive, that's why Ian decided to play sneaky. Something creaked in the distance. Mari threw her arm in front of Courtney.
The girls halted.
"Go ahead," Courtney whispered in Mari's ear, sending shivers down her spine,"We'll flank them."
She nodded, quietly moving forward. Courtney watched as she slipped into the trees. The leaves rustled again, but instead of popping out between them, Damien popped out behind Courtney. He fired.
Courtney but her lip to keep from crying out in pain. She couldn't let Mari get shot. So she got onto her knees.
"No final words?" He mocked.
She shook her head.
"Get up. You're being executed." Courtney rolled her eyes and obeyed.
"Shayne wants to weed you out, one by one," he said, leading in a path that hopefully wouldn't led to Mari.
"That's creepy. You're hunting us?"
"Pretty much. Speaking of which, any hiding teammates you want to tell me about, young lady?"
"Nope."
Courtney could see their base through the trees and darkness, with Shayne standing proudly in front with a gun in his hands.
Sohinki and Wes were sitting at the base of the flag, already executed.
Where's Mari?
"Oh, Court-Bort," Shayne smiled,"Nice to see you."
"Screw you."
Wes snickered in the background.
"You can't laugh, you're dead!" Shayne exclaimed. He turned his head, only to be shot. Damien was holding Courtney in front of him, and he was shot in the back. Courtney fell to her knees, hearing a mix of her teammates laughing and Damien and Shayne yelling out in anger.
Through the darkness, Mari emerged through trees, Noah by her side. He quickly healed Courtney before running off again.
"Dang it, Mari!"
"Sorry not sorry," she mumbled before turning to Wes and Sohinki,"What the heck you two?"
"It's his fault!" Wes blamed.
Mari marched up to the boys, snatched the flag, and walked away, linking her arm though Courtney's.
"That was amazing!" Courtney exclaimed in a hushed tone as they walked through the woods.
"Yeah, it will be if we make it back safely. But I do kind of feel like a superhero...Are you ok?"
"I might have a bruise but I'm good."
"I should have never left you behind."
"Are you kidding? If you did, Damien and Shayne wouldn't be shot right now. You're incredible!"
Courtney swiftly brushed a kiss on Mari's cheek. Mari blushed.
"Let's, uh, let's just keep going."

Ian screamed when they emerged with the flag.
"Victory!"
They're other teammates chanted, as Joe and Sunny ran around like mad men.
Mari threw the flag onto the ground.
She looked at Courtney. Who was smiling so beautiful. Mari stepping closer. Courtney's breath hitched.
"Is this my one chance to be a superhero?" Mari asked, tucking a piece of hair behind Courtney's ear.
"I think so," Courtney grinned,"So you better kiss the girl."
Mari cupped Courtney's face and kissed her, for only a moment. She pulled away.
"Are you ok with this?"
"Of course I am."
Courtney looped her arms around Mari's waist, and kissed her again, deeply and passionately. Mari moved her hands to grasp Courtney's hips.
Once they released, they heard the screams of their coworkers.
"Finally!" Olivia screeched.
Mari and Courtney smiled at each other.
"Take it off!" Joven yelled.
Then Mari finally got to shot him with a paintball gun.
