Peter was sitting with The Apollo cabin for dinner. He was talking to a kid named Will Solace. "So, Peter." Will started. "Your a son of Arachne. How did that… happen, exactly?"

Peter swallowed a piece of steak. "To be honest? I have no idea. Maybe my dad was drunk and saw a spider lady and thought, 'Hey, you only live once.'"

Will laughed. He stood up with his plate, went up to the bonfire, and threw a piece of pizza in. When he sat back down, Peter asked, "Why did you waste that perfectly good piece of pizza?"

Will smiled. "Well, every dinner time, we throw in our best piece of food. The gods like the smell."

Peter raised one eyebrow in question. "Your joking, right?"

Will shook his head. "Not at all."

Peter shrugged and went to the bonfire with his plate. Will one of you please adopt me? Peter then scraped his potatoes into the fire. A horn blew in the distance. Everyone stood up and went to the armory. People came out with weapons and armor and started handing them out to everyone. Peter dropped in line and received a spear and a helmet with blue fluff on top.

When everyone was set up, they went to the edge of the forest where Chiron was waiting. Chiron waited patiently as people slowly quieted down and got organized. "Remember the rules! No maiming, or killing. Play fair. To win the game, your team must capture the opposing team's flag, and bring it over to your team's border. Now go, get your teams set up."

Everyone ran into the forest. The red team went right, and the blue team went left. Peter followed the Athena, and Apollo cabins, who were on the blue team. Percy Jackson was on the blue team as well. He was holding hands with Annabeth. Peter noticed that Percy didn't have any weapon. All he had was a cheap ballpoint pen.

Peter walked up to them. "So, what do I do?"

Annabeth moved a little closer to Percy. "Well, normally, the new kids guard the flag, but I want you to retrieve the red teams flag. Come with me, Percy, and Will."

Another horn blew and Chiron yelled, "BEGIN!" Annabeth, Percy, and Will charged into the forest, heading to the red team's territory. Peter reluctantly followed. The first red enemy got literally trampled by the four of them, and when Peter looked back, the enemy didn't get up. The next enemy they saw was a huge Ares kid. Percy charged right at him.

"Percy!" Peter shouted. "What are you doing? You don't have-" Peter's words faltered when he saw Percy's pen turn into a sword when he uncapped it. Percy smash the flat of his blade into the side of the Ares kid head, and he crumpled to the ground.

After what seemed like hours, and pain, the four of them got to the flag, which was thrown onto a giant rock. Will groaned. "Are you kidding me? how are we supposed to get up there?"

Percy inspected the rock. "Maybe I can climb it. Theres a few foot holds here… nope. There is no way I'm getting up there."

Peter sighed. "I'll get it."

Annabeth frowned. "How?"

"Like this." Peter went up to the rock. He took a shaky breath, then placed his hand on the rock. He then placed his left hand higher. Peter pulled himself up, and started crawling.

"Holy Poseidon." Percy muttered as he watched Peter reach the top of the rock and grab the flag. He tossed it down to Will. Peter jumped of the rock and landed crouching on the ground.

He stood up and dusted his hands off. Annabeth stared at Peter in amazement. "Peter… that was-"

Peter stiffened. He felt a tingling in the back of his skull. Without hesitating, he swung his spear around and wacked the person behind him. Clarrise, another Ares kid, fell to the ground unconscious.

"-Amazing." Annabeth finished. "How did you know she was behind you?"

Peter Shifted nervously. "It's my spider sense."

"Your what?" Percy asked.

"My spider sense, or thats what I call it. Whenever I'm in danger, I feel a tingling in my skull, and I automatically react to it. It's saved my life multiple times."

Will shook his head in amazement. "Well, thats useful. Any other powers you want to tell us about that you haven't revealed yet?"

"We don't have time." Annabeth said. "We still haven't captured the flag."
