A/N: Enjoy. I'm getting this all done so I can concentrate on other things, so I'll probably be long done with this by the time you see it. :)

Reviews To The Reviews That My Reviewers Left Me: (And No, I can't say I'll be answering all of them.)

PinkPinker: I honestly don't know who will win either. I'm still kind of lost on my opinion. But I'll have to make up my mind within the next couple days, because this fic is only gonna be like 4-5 chapters long. And actually, I lied. It's next chapter that people are going to be caught cheating. Or maybe the one after that. I dunno, it's still fresh in my head, and not down on paper yet. Yeah, I know, the whole Jate thing will be fun to watch. See, I'm at a dilemma, because if Kate and her team win, she has something to hold over Jack's head, and so does Sawyer, but most people want the cave people to win because all the good-looking men (well, most of them) are on that team. So, as you can see, I'm at a loss. And yes, the PEN15 club… you're deprived if you haven't at least heard of it. ;) God, all the boys do it at my school too… Bloody annoying.

Whirlwind-2005: The characters are on these teams as followed:
Beach: Sawyer, Kate, Sayid, Shannon, Michael, Walt, Sun, and Jin.
Caves: Jack, Hurley, Charlie, Claire, Boone, Locke, Scott, and Steve.
And Scott and Steve ARE NOT main characters, they're just fun to play around with. :)

A/N TO EVERYONE: Do you guys want Claire to still be pregnant?

Capture The Flag
Summary: Who knew that such a simple game could bring out the deepest competitive sides in the survivors?
Status: WiP

Capture the Flag – Chapter 2 – And They're Off!

As soon as the words were spoken, most of the survivors looked around, expecting something to happen. But, obviously, nothing did. A bird took flight, and the Island winds rustled a couple leaves, but that was mainly it.

"Come on," Sawyer mumbled, and him and his team went off amid the tree trunks and shrubs. Only a few select people stayed behind, and that was only because the line needed to be guarded.

Jack and his lot also disappeared, using the many rocks and rotted stumps as something to hide behind.

From his spot, Jack could see Kate milling about the jail spot, wringing her hands out and looking around. He couldn't help but notice his heart rate went up a couple notches and his breaths were short and shallow.

Already, he could see Sayid bringing up a couple people, and she smiled graciously at him, glad to have someone to talk to.

(Space)

Charlie ducked around a tree branch, motioning for Claire to follow, and tentatively lifted the string up. A voice came from behind the trees.

"I wouldn't be so keen on doing that, man." As soon as the words left his mouth, Michael showed himself. "You know, don't want to get caught."

"Claire, go back!" Charlie nearly shouted, and dropped the line behind himself.

Michael made a lunge at the man, but Charlie dodged it smoothly.

"Dear God, is that your best move?" He grinned as Michael made another movement towards him.

The man just growled in response, and moved closer.

All the sudden, Charlie took off, laughing like a hyena. "I can see now that high-school track really did help in the long run!"

Michael shot after him, "Hey, get back here!"

"D'you really think I'm gonna listen to a beacher like yourself, mate?" Charlie grinned and looked behind him. That's when he tripped over the shrub and went down.

"Fuck!" You could hear his voice for a couple yards on down the line, and many people lifted their heads to see what all the commotion was about.

Michael caught up, breathing hard, and a maniacal look came across his face, "Look who's talking now." He chuckled.

"Go bloody fuck a tree." Charlie grumbled as the opposing man took his arm and jerked him up.

"Off to Kate for you," He said in a singsong voice. This would be one moment he'd never let Charlie live down.

(Space)

Hurley lumbered through the trees, so far no one had caught him, and he was determined to keep it that way.

Looking around, he cautiously made his way towards what he thought was the prison. Apparently, he was wrong.

"Well, lookie here," A southern accent drawled, "Howdy there!"

Hurley cursed himself silently, and started to run. But he was no match for Sawyer, who soon was running beside him.

"Hidin' something there, fatty?" He cackled, " 'Cause I sure as hell wouldn't put it past ya to bring food in to this here game." His hands flew up and latched onto Hurley's arm. "Come on, let's take ya on back."

(Space)

She sighed as she looked around the small clearing; the jail was filling up quickly. If someone didn't try to break them all out, they'd soon have a problem on their hands soon.

"OY! Kate!" Charlie shrugged off Michael's grip, "You still here?" He grinned.

"Shut up and stay here." Kate grumbled.

Charlie did as he was told, but only because he didn't want to cause more trouble. Which he did anyway.

"Catch sight of Jack yet?" The British man tried to start up a conversation.

Kate only glared, hoping her answer portrayed in her eyes.

"Ah. …Well, here's your chance." And he moved as Jack slid into the safe spot, dirt covered his face and clothes.

"HA!" He crowed at his pursuer who was hot on his heels up until now. "Can't get me now!" And did a little jig before grabbing Charlie and Steve.

Kate cracked up, "Nice victory dance, Shepard."

Jack gave her a half-smile, only he reserved only for her, "You know, I was thinking you'd might like it." He answered, "And as much as I want to give an encore, I must be off. Come on, you two. FREE RETURN!" He called out.

Charlie and Steve echoed, "Yeah, so bugger off!" to no one in particular.

"I'll be back for the rest of you." And Kate swore up and down that Jack winked at her.

The trio ducked under the line, dispersing as soon as they were free.

Kate's jaw dropped, along with everyone else's at the prison, "Was that really Jack?" She questioned the thin air, almost half expecting it to answer back. But that thought soon left her mind as Sawyer carted in Hurley.

(Space)

Boone silently stole across the line, rolling along the ground. He remembered playing this game as a child, with the neighborhood as an arena. He couldn't help but smile, as he thought of those long summer days, so carefree and short.

Shaking his head, he bolted behind a tree, catching his breath. Little did he know on the other side of that tree lurked his stepsister, waiting to make her move on the next poor soul she spotted.

Again he was off, the twigs and leaves crackling under his feet.

"HEY!" He could hear Shannon call out to him, "COME BACK HERE!"

"Like I'm really gonna do that, Shan!" He called back, crouching lower to the ground. Hopefully the distraction wouldn't cause too much noise.

Nodding, he gave short whistle, and Locke appeared by his side a while later.

"Did she see you?" He asked, once again pausing.

"No, but something tell me she caught a pretty good glimpse of you. Thanks." The old man smiled, "Now, let's go find that flag!"

(Space)

Jack sighed as a familiar man dragged him into the jail.

"Catch of the day, Freckles." He chuckled, throwing the doctor down to the ground.

"Sawyer!" Kate scolded, "Be gentle!" She crouched by Jack, "You okay?"

"I'm fine." Jack huffed as Sawyer bolted off again, giving some excuse as why. "I didn't see him." Jack lied, but Kate could see the truth in his eyes.

"Guess I won't see that dance again after all, huh?" She asked, mock pouting.

"Oh, believe me, you will." Jack laughed slightly, "Charlie owes me big anyway, so he's bound to come by sooner or later." He wiped away a bead of sweat, and sat beneath the tree.

"Dude… You look tired…" Hurley stated, examining Jack up and down. It was true, the doctor had dirt all over himself, and his smile looked worn, almost plastered on, but it still couldn't keep down the determined sparkle in his eyes, one that none of the survivors had ever had the pleasure of seeing before.

"I'm fine," Jack repeated, "Besides, look who's talking." He managed a grin, and Hurley returned it.

"Good, doc. We can't afford to lose you."

Jack laughed tiredly, "Oh, something tells me you could." And he smiled at Kate once more.

(Space)

Charlie looked around the place that him and Claire had designated as a meeting place.

"Claire," He whispered, "Are you here, love?"

But nothing came back in return, and the woman was nowhere in sight.

"Let's not play games, Love." Charlie whipped around as he heard the leaves rustle. "Only the wind, Charlie, only the wind…" He said to himself, "Nothing to go nutty over."

And that's when he felt a hand crawl over his shoulder. Giving a loud, piercing scream, he came around to meet eyes only with Claire, whose face was as white as a sheet.

"I was just taking a pee, Charlie." She mumbled, "Sorry."

Charlie blushed immensely. Not only had he lost it, but also he had managed to do it in front of Claire.

"It's nothing," he groaned, "Nothing at all."

-LOST-

A/N: So, how was this chapter? R&R! Also, remember to answer my question! Do you want Claire to be pregnant or not? A simple yes or no will do. :)

This chapter was about the Cave Team, so next chapter is about the Beach Team.
