Author's Note; Hello my friends! None of you answered the OTP question, which saddens me. Oh well! On to the story! After the shoutouts!

SHOUTOUTS!:

Cherokee rememberer gamer98: Yeah, I normally try to include everyone, but when my mind is in many places at once? POOF! People disappear! And no I have not listened to it, but I will when I get the chance. Of course it boils down to headphones, that was what I set out to do that day. I'm a bit pissed that my Mum wouldn't buy a new pair 'cause she broke my old ones. And they were HARRY POTTER HEADPHONES! But, meh. I'm lucky I had a giftcard I left at my cousin's while on vacation. That way it was unused. Also, I'm blasting FOB right now because I don't feel like using my earbuds. If I have to watch Full House, they have to listen to Fall Out Boy! Only fair.

merp: Thank you and I don't really choose the names. I only chose Diamond's, my friends picked everyone else. I didn't think they were 'tacky' per se, but whatever. it's your opinion. By the way, I like the name you used.

Rubydaawesome: I know, I'll try. My mind was stretched between FF and the book and my annoying sister and those two slipped my mind because I was trying to make the fails like they happened in the book and...they weren't in it. And I use the word 'and' a lot, sentence fragment or not, it's how I talk. And yeah, you did get it right, I said so. I think. I like Pip and Merry too, they're funny. You should check out an LotR Let It Go parody by The Hillywood Show. I love it so much! Also, if you like The Hobbit, they have one for that too. How don't you like Gollum/Smeagol? I love him so much! I mean, yeah, he's evil and all but...I've always been able to kinda sympathize with him. The ring ruined his life and became the only good thing in it. It was stolen by Bilbo and he tried to get it back. I mean, his methods were a bit unorthodox I'll admit. And malicious. Anyway, I was so sad when he finally got the ring back and then he died.

Jela: If you're talking about Sam Fraser, that wasn't constructive criticism. Trust me. He reviewed on my stories to complain about reviews I left on this one author's stories. So no offense, I get what you mean, but it wasn't constructive criticism. When I do get that, I try my hardest to listen to them.

Disclaimer; Wow, I am in a writing mood today. Don't own anything you recognize to be anyone else's. I just realized that's a good way to shorten it.

I'm A Demi-WHAT Now?

Chapter VI: Capturing Flags Is Fun

After dinner was Capture the Flag. And...well...I won't give too much away yet. The teams were very mixed. Red Team: Hermes, Poseidon, Apollo, Ares, and Dionysus. Blue Team: Athena, Hephaestus, Zeus, Aphrodite, and Demeter. I was told that very few Aphrodite children ever participated. Today, Camille was annoyed because the four girls she hated weren't participating. She wanted a chance to crush them.

"It's so unfair!" She complained. "They get to just sit out and leave the rest of their team completely abandoned! And they tease all of the other campers about stupid shit-"

"Camille!" Angie exclaimed.

"-so they can opt out and we can't give them what they deserve at the best moment! I hate those four!" Camille finished.

Jack, and I giggled while Mason smirked. "Camille, you shouldn't curse!" Angie scolded.

She blinked. "I am your older sister. You are not in charge of me Topanga. I will curse when I feel like it, and right now, I feel like it."

"Do they always argue like this?" I asked Violet.

"No," she replied. "It's usually Camille and Mason. But two of them are always fighting over stupid stuff."

Jack patted her on the head. "There, there small one."

Violet just laughed and twirled her javelin. "I'm not small"

Jade walked over to us in time to hear that last comment. "You seem pretty small to me. You know, 'cause I'm bigger than you."

"Yeah, I know. Let's just beat the other team."

"That's the spirit!" I exclaimed.

Since Hermes cabin was leader, the Stolls told us the game plan. With obvious help from Jade. She was a good strategist, especially when it came to anything violent. And I mean, anything even semi-violent or competitive. The Dionysus kids and the leader of the Apollo cabin, Lee Fletcher would guard the flag. A few Apollo and Ares kids would hide a little farther away from the flag and closer to the creek and try to keep the other team from penetrating our defenses.

"And everyone else? Split up into small groups, no more than four, and look for the flag." One of them finished. I still couldn't tell them apart, and wouldn't pretend to. Jade, Mason, Violet, and an Ares kid grouped together. Jack, Angie, Camille, and I also were in a group. The Stolls would just be going off on their own, and everyone else just got together.

Someone blew a conch horn. The game had begun.

We all surged towards the creek, which was the boundary line. Jade had told all she could not to maim or kill anyone (as Tantalus 'forgot' to mention), or we'd regret it. And the same thing goes for if she caught anyone maiming and/or killing anyone else. Nobody argued.

We reached the creek, and the groups crossed it. I found that my legs stayed perfectly dry, which was good because I wouldn't be squishing in my sneakers and making noise. I had an idea and put my hand on Jack's elbow, concentrating. "What the-"

She was completely dry in seconds. I got as many people as I could before we had to go with the 'plan'. I didn't know if our strategy really counted as a plan, especially against Pearl and the rest of the Athena cabin. Hell, as much as I hate to admit it, even Sean's a really good strategist when he wants to be. But I know Sapphire at least. We'll find her easy. She will disregard anything Pearl or anyone else in charge says and just charge straight into battle, not really caring.

We played some very high-strategy and strange games when we were...little. Yeah, like 8-10 and definitely not the week before coming to camp.

…...

Shut up.

I was very excited for this game, but managed to tiptoe quietly, barely making a sound. Which was bad, because I was normally very clumsy. Jack was kind of a ninja, she could be really quiet when she needed to be. I just had to threaten to tie something over her mouth and she became very quiet very quickly. Camille was a natural at sneaking around which didn't surprise me. I felt like she was the kind of person to occasionally sneak about and pull pranks for the fun of it. Angie...not so much. It seemed that every twig, every dead leaf, gravitated it's way towards her. I inwardly sighed.

Finally, Camille turned around. "Topanga!" She hissed. "Please, keep it down!"

"Even Diamond, the clumsiest person ever to walk this Earth, is quieter. And she's taking a stroll through the woods in armor!" Jack whispered. I scowled, but it was true.

"I'm sorry!" She exclaimed, and I decided to take her side.

"It's not Angie's fault." I whispered, and she shot me a grateful look.

We all glared at eachother for a few seconds before Camille sighed. "Alright. I'm sorry. But, please?"

"I'll try." Angie murmured.

We all nodded, much quieter. We heard voices up ahead and crouched behind a few bushes. It was Ruby and Sean. And so close in reach, was their flag, hanging from the branch of a nearby tree.

"I still don't think it was smart to let Sapphire go off on her own. We're supposed to have three guards!" Ruby exclaimed.

"Please, it's not like she'd do that good guarding and you know it! Besides, we'll be fine, we'll sense anything a mile away!" Sean argued.

The four of us had to cover our mouths to keep from giggling. The two continued bickering. I could see the flag, and their backs were to me.

"Guys, I have a plan." I announced quietly.

"What?" They all demanded.

"Which one of us is most definitely the sneakiest?" I asked.

"Camille." Three voices chimed, one being Camille herself.

"Okay, so the three of us will sneak around to the other side and pretend to be going for the flag. Camille, while they're distracted, you can grab the flag. And then we run like we're being chased by Weeping Angels." I'd found out that Camille was on Season 4 of Doctor Who, and Angie knew enough to get basic references.

"But Weeping Angels are faster than anything else in the world." Jack countered.

I grinned at the three of them. "Exactly."

We tiptoed to the other side of the clearing. While they were arguing, I gave the others the signal we'd agreed on. We pretend snuck over towards the flag. As expected, Ruby noticed us. Immediately.

"Over there!" She exclaimed to Sean, charging at us.

I swore and looked panicked as Jack and I fought off Sean. Ruby had a dagger for the game, as did Angie. In a flash of silver, I saw Camille grab the flag. Unfortunately, Sean saw her out of the corner of his eye.

He turned, but Jack and I managed to overpower him momentarily and knock him over. Angie pushed down Ruby and we all ran. "Sorry!" She yelled over her shoulder.

I wasn't. They obviously weren't hurt as they were right on our tail. We ran, dodging arrows from Ruby until a long overdue trip came for me. The longer the grace period, the worse the fall. I tripped over a twig. A twig! I fell over, taking Camille down with me.

"Bloody hell Diamond!" She exclaimed, and tossed the flag to Angie. We quickly got up and caught up to them.

"Sorry 'bout that!" I exclaimed as Angie passed the flag back to Camille.

I saw the creek and let out a cheer. We were almost there, and we hadn't even run into anyone else! Of course as soon as I thought that, Sapphire was suddenly blocking our path, flanked by Monkey and Pearl.

Sapphire was grinning evilly, axes crossed in front of her.

"Now would be a great time for a Lord of the Rings reference." I commented.

Everyone rolled their eyes. Everyone except Sapphire. She lowered her axes slightly. "Wha-"

That slight moment of hesitation was enough for Jack to push her into the very clumsy Pearl, sending them both tumbling onto the ground. I shoved my way past Monkey as Ruby and Sean finally caught up, but no matter. Camille was already sprinting towards the creek, cheering as she did so. The three of us trailed right behind her, fighting off the others as we did so.

The cheering brought people towards us, and mostly everyone (Well, it was everyone we knew and then some other people) were there just in time to see her leap across the creek and onto the opposite side, just managing to catch her footing. Everyone on the blue team cheered happily. We won!

As Angie, Jack, and I reached the other side, something strange happened to the flag. It had been silvery-grey with an owl on it, holding an olive branch. It changed, thread by thread morphing into an entirely different banner. It turned gold, with the sun on it, pierced by an arrow.

It was an Apollo flag. After that, the red team walked to their cabins in shame, while the blue team practically glowed with happiness. "Yes, yes, the game is over." Tantalus said boredly. "Now go to bed! All of you!"

We happily obliged.

There you guys go! Sorry if these are getting shorter, but I don't really want to leave you all hanging. How'd you like the chapter?

Question: What is the most annoying thing a teacher has ever done?

Answer: I have two. In second grade, I got in trouble for trying to finish the book I was reading (I only had a paragraph left!) even though Silent Reading had ended a minute ago. And on multiple other occasions that year, I got in trouble for reading when I was done my work. And in seventh grade, my history teacher was trying to explain the myth of Achilles. The River Styx was where Hades was and everyone, good, bad, mediocre went into the River Styx. No difference, that was all. And Achilles was dipped in it by his mother to make him invincible and was for some weird reason nobody knows invulnerable everywhere except for his 'ankle'. His ankle! And on our study guide for the final exam he said that Zeus was the god of prophecies.

The Adventures of Diamond Sapphire:

Last Christmas, we played 'Family Feud'. The category was, 'Things you'd find at a little kid's birthday party'. My cousin 'Kyle' immediately said, "Registered sex offenders!" We were all dying laughing, but for some odd reason that wasn't on the list. Which was good for me, because I was on the opposite team. Then comes 'Things teenagers eat' and my little sister 'Aqua' (who wasn't playing) shouted, "Marijuana!" I just facepalmed at that.
