A/U: I'm not good with fighting scenes so I did this instead. Sorry if you don't like it, I tried my best. I'd like to give a shout out to Ironfey13 for giving me some ideas. If you have some of your own ideas, PM me. :)

At first, when they said capture the flag, I was thinking two groups of kids, maybe 20 on each side, trying to get the piece of cloth from the other. It's sorta the same, except they use weapons, fight each other and have to get a flag. Oh and you go into the monster infested woods. At least it would give me a chance to try out the new sword I got. Girls against boys? This was going to be fun.
Annabeth was the leader, not even Clarisse objected. Over the past few days, I'd learned not underestimate her. She is smart and always has a plan. We got into our armor. It was heavy! Forget running, I couldn't be a few feet without already breathing hard.
I bumped into Nico before the game. "Hey, sorry." I smiled. "It's okay, good luck tonight. And we are soo going to beat you girls." he said. I knew he was teasing, so I played along," You'll guys are practically going to be begging for mercy when we get you in the battlefield."
Nico laughed," May the best camper win." We shook hands for no real reason,"Thanks, I'll make sure the girls win."
"Okay girls, listen up. As you know, I already got a plan. We are going up against guys right? Well, let's just have two girls and put their girly charm on. You know, act innocent and vulnerable. Then they'll try to follow you and we ambush them. I'm 100% sure that at least the Ares cabin will fall for it and then it's over." We girls were giggling and congratulating Annabeth for that awesome plan. "Good thing the Aphrodite girls are playing, huh?" said one girl.
"Wait, how many groups of 'bait' are going and how many in a group?" asked another.
"Let's send 5 pairs of two and scout the area and bring some guys. We find a place to ambush them and we beat them and bring them to jail. They'll have to surrender. They won't stand a chance. Alright so Lucy go with Dylan. Mary go with Brianna. Asheley-Nancy. Catlin- Heather. And Rose go with Drew." said Annabeth. "WHAT!?" we both yelled. "It's for the good of the team. Come on don't you want to rub it in the boy's faces when we win?"
We both agreed.

So me and Drew were walking around without any armor but our weapons hidden, I didn't have to hide mine, i could wear it. Anyway we walked in silence until we found our first victims, i mean enemy. "Hey, there's some right there" said one of them.
"let's get them,"said the other. The two guys ran up to us and that's when they noticed we didn't have any weapons and weren't running. Drew put on a charming smile. The moonlight added a nice touch and made her look even more beautiful, "Hey boys,sorry, we can't run. I think it would be a crime to hurt such cute boys like you guys." Wow, she was good. I guess it was my turn. I casually got closer to them. One of them put his sword in front of him. "Oh, put that silly thing down." I said softly. I would've laughed right then and there because he actually did. "You guys want to ditch the fight and go somewhere else more...private." Drew purred into one of the guys' ear. They both nodded. "Come on then." I said. Me and Drew took off running. They came after us, of course. We ran into the rendezvous and waited. Sure enough the boys came running into the open field with no weapons"Hey, wait up girls." That's when we got them. The look on their faces was priceless. Getting ambushed by girls with any kind of weapon you could think of. The cursed and complained but still surrendered. We went back into the woods.
"You're pretty good" I told Drew.
"yeah, well, you were good too, are you sure this is your first time?"
"Hmmm. It's kind of fun, but not really my thing. I feel bad for tricking them."
"Don't be. They both have girlfriends. They are so gonna get it when their girls find out."
We walked some more. Drew sighed,"This is taking too long. We need to split up and we can cover more ground" I didn't know if that was a good idea. Drew said that I was tough. That could take care of myself. We went our separate ways.
After a few minutes,I heard a twig break. I turned around but no one was there. Okay, I was freaking out so I picked up the place. Then I made the mistake of looking behind me. Just what I needed, I monster. I started running trying to put distance between me and the monster. I circled around trees, went left, turned right.
I was thinking about not getting eaten when I bumped into someone and fell right on top of him. "Ow!" we both said. We both looked up and our faces were so close, we were nose to nose. I didn't move away because I was looking into his chocolate brown eyes and I knew who it was. Me and Nico just stayed like that until he cleared his throat. "Sorry" he almost whispered. We both got up. "It's okay, I'm the one who wasn't looking." I said.
"So are you going to fight me or what? I'm weaponless you know." I said
"I would but you knocked the wind out of me with that tackle."
"I didn't mean to tackle you to the ground. I was just running, okay?" Nico put his hands in front of him,"Ok, whatever you say. So who are you doing?" he asked. I shrugged, "We're doing fine kicking your boys' butts if that's what you mean." He chuckled. "This is my first time playing, you know. I never found it fun until now for some reason. Haven't gotten caught to walk and talk?" I noticed we were close to an ambush spot and I couldn't resist. "Sure come on." I started walking in the direction to another clearing. Nico followed and I almost told him to run and that this was a trap. Almost. We got to the clearing and the whole thing happened again. "Nicely played girls. You're using the average guy's weakness. Okay, that's smart." Nico said. Some of us were all like, thank you and stuff. He surrenders without another word. He doesn't look disappointed, angry, sad, or annoyed. The rest of the game, we capture enough guys so that there are bearly any left and almost all the girls, including me, go and get the flag. I was the one who got more guys to take the bait so I got to go through the creek and into the girls territory and win the game for the girls. The flag changed into a picture of a trident. Cool.
That's when I realized that Camp Half blood might not be such a bad place while Nico congratulated me.
The end...just kidding, like I'm going to end it there. Review. ^_^
