The rest of the night was a blur.

After her claiming, the campfire continued as usual, more over she guessed it was usual. Then she walked back to the Hermes cabin with Flynn.

"Congratulations," he said. "I hope you like your new cabin mates." he bent down and got her bag out of the floor.

"thanks." she couldn't meet his eyes as she took the bag.

Even though she had only been there for an afternoon leaving was hard, bittersweet in a way. Flynn had an awed look on his face, Rapunzel was beautiful, and her mannerisms, the way she spoke, beyond her glowing pink aura and cute looks. He waved as she left the cabin for the last time.

The Aphrodite cabin was a life-size Barbie-doll house. Lucy curtains hung in the windows, the walls were painted pink and there was absolutely no clutter or mess. The symbol of a dove was displayed in several place identifying their godly patronage incase the designer perfume wreak didn't clue you in. The clothes in people's trunks were folded perfectly and color coordinated. The walls were plastered with pictures of movie stars.

Rapunzel couldn't tell if she was going to fit in with her siblings. She stood just inside the doors staring speechless at her new home. Finally a girl approached her, she had choppy brown hair with little braids in it.

"Hey, I'm piper, head counselor and your sister. I'm guessing you're Rapunzel."

"Yeah."

piper showed her to a bunk. "We get up at 7:30. If you want to shower you might want to get up earlier. Just follow us around to all of the activities tomorrow. you're gonna love camp, tomorrow is capture the flag." she crossed her arms over her chest like it was some great achievement.

at the mention of the game a group of girls in the corner groaned before going back to reading "seventeen".

"We used to not participate in capture the flag." she explained. "but now that im head we do. It's so much fun. Anyways ill let you get some rest." then she called to the rest of the cabin. "Lights out in 5"
Piper walked off to her bunk.

The next day was weird. Rapunzel still had the pink glow but she changed in to a camp t shirt and some jeans. After breakfast the cabin started activities. She tried sword fighting, archery, and Pegasus riding which was the only things she seemed to be good at. When they finally sat down for dinner she didn't think the day could get any stranger, she had ridden a flying horse over long island sound, for the god's sake! But they hadn't played capture the flag yet.
