F is… Friday?
Oh and thank you to peace-love-paramore 101 for telling me how to spell edible right! I went back and changed it! So cheers to you peace-love-paramore 101! You rock!
It was Friday! It was time for Capture the Flag and Annabeth couldn't wait. In fact she totally forgot about kicking Percy's butt for eating her model. So during dinner she drew multiple plans in the table cloth with her finger. Her cabin got up to leave for Capture the Flag and she didn't even notice. Percy saw her and walked over.
"Hey Annabeth? I think your cabin just left." he told her. She happily mumbled 'mmhm' and finished her plan before she froze. Far into the woods there was a clashing sound that only swords could make—the beginning of Capture the Flag.
"They just what? How could they leave me?" she asked frantically as she began to run to the armory. She dressed hurriedly and Percy just stood leaning in the doorway listening to her rant.
"I mean seriously! I'm late!" she said with as much distaste as possible. "A daughter of Athena should never be late! Never! I wasn't late for birth so why am I late now?" she exclaimed, grabbing her sword and heading towards the woods. Somewhere between Zeus' fist and between the outside of the woods Annabeth noticed something. Percy wasn't dressed properly for battle.
"Where is your armor?" she asked eyeing him suspiciously.
"Um hello, dip in the Styx… ring a bell?" he asked scornfully walking past her. He was definitely annoyed.
"Are you getting snippy with me?" she asked. Percy turned around faster than you can say 'Hi'.
"Did you just say I'm being snippy? I am not being snippy! You are!" Little did they know, they had stopped in the middle of a fight over the flag. The fighters stopped to watch their little 'tiff'.
"Me? Snippy? Please tell me Percy, how am I being snippy?" Annabeth asked in a very sarcastic tone.
"Well complaining about your cabin and being late for half an hour might be a good example!" Percy retorted.
"Well at least my ego isn't as big as my head!" Annabeth yelled.
"Oh yeah, that's right yours isn't as big as your head, it's bigger!" he yelled. Some of the other campers had to bite their lip from laughing. One of them started to snicker and Annabeth and Percy turned on them with a rage.
"SHUT UP!" they yelled together before turning their rage back on each other. The opposite team (the team Annabeth and Percy were on) took this to their advantage and took the flag while those two were 'stalling'.
"Whatever Mr. I-took-a-dip-in-the-Styx-so-it-makes-me-better-than-you!" Annabeth shouted.
"Okay Ms. I'm-so-much-smarter-than-everyone-else-that-compared-to-me-you're-an-idiot!" Percy shouted back. Someone from the crowd said "Ouch,"
"What are we even yelling about idiot?" Annabeth shouted at Percy, still keyed up on anger.
"I don't remember Bookworm! Why don't YOU figure it out?" Percy shouted back just loud as her and just as angry.
Somewhere deep in the woods was rejoicing. The other team looked up and noticed that they're flag was gone. They grumbled as they left after losing the game.
"Great job Kelp for Brains! We missed the whole thing!" Annabeth shouted.
"I am leaving now. My head hurts." Percy grumbled stomping off in an opposite direction.
"Fine." Annabeth said going the opposite way.
"Fine." Percy said over his shoulder.
As both of them walked away from each other, they didn't know that they indeed took place in Capture the Flag. They had caused a great diversion which in turn resulted in getting the flag. But because it's Friday… they had to get in a fight. I mean F is for Friday but it's also for Fight.
I had fun doing this chapter! Hope you guys liked it!
