"Monica, look out! Chandler's right there!" Rachel cried.

"Rachel!" Monica whined, frowning angrily. "I was hiding! You don't just call out my name! Now Chandler knows where I am!"

"HA HA!" Chandler said, grinning competitively.

"B-But...," Rachel said, pouting.

"Remember, Rach, no crying," Chandler pointed out, smiling. Rachel frowned.

"Why does everyone think I'll cry?" Rachel cried. "What the hell is wrong with me and my emotion of crying?"

"The thing that's wrong is that you use it a bit too much," Monica said, rolling her eyes.

"So...I suppose that your flag is around here somewhere...?" Chandler began teasingly. He walked around Monica in a slow circle. He chuckled, forcing away a burst of laughter.

"N-No...," Monica said, frowning. "It's no where near here, right, Rach?"

"Yeah!" Rachel agreed, nodding. Then she said hesitantly, "It's uh, where Joey is. Maybe Ross, if he's over where...Joey is. Wherever that...is."

"Right," Chandler said, frowning. He bent down, seemingly to tie his shoelace, and quickly turned around and ran.

"Ha!" Monica cried, smiling cheerfully. "Chandler actually fell for that stupid trick!"

"But...isn't the flag in the same area as Joey?" Rachel said, a worried expression on her face.

"Ha-ha!" Monica cried, smiling. "No, it isn't! And how do you even know where Joey is? And-" Then she paused. "You know what, don't say anything, okay? I'm going to get their flag and I'll be right back. Okay? You get that, Rach?"

"Yeah, yeah," Rachel murmured. When Monica left, Rachel sighed and said aloud, "I officially suck at capture the flag!"

Ross looked around, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Where would they hide their flag?" Ross pondered aloud, smiling. He looked around the park, thinking. There was the playground, the picnic area, the parking lot... Wait. The parking lot. Then Ross said out loud in disbelief, "Are they that stupid? Not mentioning the parking lot? Wait! I'm the stupid one! I never said where you could hide the... DAMN IT!"

"What's with all the commotion?" a happy voice interrupted. Startled, Ross turned around to see Chandler, holding up a black bandana. A proud smile was on his face.

"C-Chandler!" Ross cried in disbelief. A smile crept on his face. "You found the girls' flag! W-Where'd you find it? Oh my god!"

"Um, hello, where'd you think?" Chandler asked. "Your rules SUCKED, Ross. You never said where they could hide it. Their freaking flag fell out of Monica's back pocket! I pretended to tie my stupid shoelaces, and they fell for it!"

"I know I suck...," Ross said, frowning. "And she is SUCH a cheater! It fell out of her back pocket? Seriously? Oh my god, I cannot believe her! Now, run to the girls'hideout before they tag you!"

"And where's that...?" Chandler asked. He sighed. "Never mind. I know. I'll be right back, and next time you see me, I'll be doing the Chan-Chan man dance for our victory!"

Ross and Chandler shared a high-five, smiling.

Phoebe tripped over a chip in the ground, and fell flat on the sandy playground.

"What the-?" she began, and spit sand out of her mouth. A little feather-like object was poking her forehead. She plucked it out of the sand and gasped.

"The flag!" she cried, smiling. She stood up hurriedly, and Monica gasped once she saw what was in her hand.

"Pheebs, you found it!" Monica cried, her grin widening. She grabbed the flag from Phoebe and said, "Watch my back, alright? I don't want anyone spoiling my - our - victory!"

"You got it!" Phoebe said, nodding. She followed Monica as they ran to where Joey was. In the trees of the park, they ran silently, side by side.

"This is SO much fun!" Phoebe said excitedly.

"Yeah, 'cause we're going to win!" Monica agreed, laughing. Suddenly, she bumped into someone. They grunted, and fell on the ground. "What the-?"

"Monica!" Chandler cried, hurriedly getting off the floor. He looked at her hand. "O-Our flag!"

"OUR flag!" Monica said, gasping, as she looked at what was in Chandler's hand. "How'd it-?" She put a hand to her backpocket, and realizing that it was no longer there, she cried, "Darn!"

"You know what...?" Chandler said, sighing. He dropped the object, watching it fall to the ground. "If winning this stupid game means so much to you, then fine. You can win." He pointed behind him. "Our hideout is over there. Win, if you want."

"WHAT?" Phoebe said, her eyes widening. "You're just going to let us win? Just like that?"

"Yeah...," Monica muttered, looking down.

"WE WIN!" Ross and Joey cried in unison, appearing from behind a bustle of trees. They jumped up and down, and slapped Chandler's back. "We won, dude!"

"You actually fell for it!" Chandler cried after a moment, laughing.

"WHAT?" Monica and Phoebe. "But you have our flag!"

"No, this is a freaking piece of paper or something," Chandler said, stepping on it. He smiled, and Rachel appeared, panting.

"Rachel, what happened?" Monica asked.

"Yeah, they won," Rachel said, pouting. "Sorry."
