Percy Pov-

"For Capture the flag, the red team will be led by the Athena cabin. The members shall consist of: Hephaestus, half of the Hermes, Hades, Ares, and Dionysus." Chiron announced in the mess hall. "Anybody willing to volunteer to lead the other team?"

No one volunteered.

"How about you, Percy Jackson?" Chiron looked at me.

"What?" I threw my hands up in the air.

Chiron winked. "That's for purposely trying to murder my tail."

"Alright." I blushed, everyone was looking at me.

"Great. On the blue team with the er..." Chiron didn't know what cabin to put me in since I hadn't been claimed yet.

"How about the totally hot guy cabin!" the Aphrodite cabin shirked.

I blushed-I knew what this was about.

"What they said. the other half of Hermes, Zeus, Demeter, Aphrodite, and Apollo will be on Percy's team." Chiron finished then sat down.

I poked at my salad-yeah, I'm healthy like that-and glanced at Calypso, Annabeth, and Thalia.

"So..." I took a bite of my salad. "Do you guys think I'm hot?"

Nico and Grover laughed their heads off.

"No..." Thalia drawled.

"Ah ha!" I pointed at her. "You hesitated! You think I'm hot!"

Just to prove my point, I stood up on the table and took off my shirt.

I swear, Thalia was as red as fire. I threw my shirt at her and ran all the way to the creek.

When I looked back, the whole Aphrodite were running after me.

"Run, Pretty boy! Run!" the Stoll brother chanted.

I plunged into the water, escaping the girls'.

Thalia Pov-

I sat there watching as Percy ran.

"Thalia, you totally have the hots for Percy." Nico muttered.

"Shut up," I shot back. I smelled Percy's shirt; it smelled like sea and forest.

"Okay, sorry." Nico scooted away from me.

It had been at least ten minutes, and the Aphrodite cabin returned with no Percy.

I decided to go find Percy. I saw a few bubbles in the creek and waited from him to come up.

Percy head popped up as he floated in the water. "Hey Thalia," He said flirtatiously.

My breath hitched and my head spun. "I think this is yours." I threw his shirt back.

"Thanks," He put on his shirt and stepped out of the water, dry.

"Sorry if I embarrassed you." Percy apologized.

"It's cool-after all, I did break your nose."

"Then we're even." Percy smiled, showing another one of his dazzling traits. "You wanna make a plan for Capture the flag?"

I spent all afternoon with Percy, discussing battle plans, and laughing at his jokes.

About thirty minutes before the game started, Percy told our team the plan and had us suited up.

My shield and sword were polished and I was ready to gut Annabeth Chase.

Since Percy left, the field that we usually played on, was slightly remodeled. There were bleachers on the side where any one could watch.

To my surprise, the gods were on the bleachers as we marched on the field. My dad smiled at me as I waved back.

I stood next to Percy as the red team advanced. We got to center of the field, where Chiron waited.

I saw Calypso and Rachel sitting on the bleachers, watching.

Percy met Annabeth halfway as Chiron repeated the rules.

"Absolutely no maiming or killing." The centaur looked at Ares cabin. "Take off your helmets and shake hands."

Percy and Annabeth took off their helmets and shook hands.

"Good Luck, Wisegirl." Percy said.

"Good Luck, Seaweed Brain." Annabeth said.

Percy returned back to my side. "Is the flag positioned?" Percy asked, mocking a general.

I saluted him, "Yes, Sir."

In the tallest tree; our flag was far away from the other team.

"May the gods be with you. Let the game start." Chiron trotted off the field.

"Ares! Your positions!" Annabeth yelled to her team. The other team was in 4 rows, the first row was Annabeth and her siblings.

Our team was relaxed; waiting. "What's wrong with your team, Jackson?" Clarisse smirked.

"What team?" Percy snapped his fingers and the campers vanished then reappeared behind Annabeth's team.

They were surrounded, our team on the the south-Percy and I on the North.

"East, West!" Annabeth yelled as their team began separating. I whistled and the Hermes and Apollo cabin boxed them in.

The daughter of Athena realized there was no other option but to press forward. "Forwards." She yelled.

Just what I waiting for. Percy gave me the signal, and I made the sky turn dark-while everyone was distracted, Percy made a break for it.

"Get him!" Clarisse screamed.

The Ares cabin ran and threw their weapons at Percy. Percy held his hand out.

Suddenly, time was slow and I felt numb.

Percy was the only one who could run, so he pulled out his sword and slashed the Ares cabins armor. When he got a few feet away, time started again.

It was creepy-seeing Percy using his powers. The Ares cabin fell right to the ground. Both teams scattered and started fighting.

Percy looked all over the place but we saw no flags. I knocked out a girl who attacked me and met Percy at the creek.

He was fighting Nico, and with a powerful kick, the son of Hades was out.

"I have an idea." Percy smiled despite the mud and grime on him.

"What?"

Percy explained his plan and I smiled. "It's risky but worth it."

Percy took my hand and led me toward the creek, the center of all the chaos.

The son of Artemis manifested a whirlpool which lifted us up and drenched the surrounding campers. I was so scared of going up and the water; I latched onto Percy as we ascended.

"Now, Thalia!" Percy yelled. I told the winds to pick up as Percy extracted a silver bow.

He pulled the string back and aimed at Annabeth.

She was fighting Travis Stoll, whom we sent after her.

Percy released his arrow and it pinned Annabeth to the ground. With unbelievable speed, Percy jumped down with me in his arms.

I'm not gonna lie-I screamed like there was no tomorrow.

I buried my face in his armor as we landed softly.

I pried my fingers away from Percy as he bent down to grab the red team's flag, tucked in Annabeth's armor. "I think this is ours." Percy said and returned the flag to our team.

The team cheered as we entered the view. We did it, we won!

A silver arrow appeared on Percy's head and we all bowed as Chiron said,

"All hail Perseus Orion Jackson, Son of the moon goddess, hunt, wild animals, wilderness, and childbirth-Artemis."

We clapped as Chiron asked, "Where is your flag, Percy?" Percy pointed to the tree.

"Over there." he said, sprinting and climbing the tree. At the top, Percy caught the waving flag.

He was a good 25 yards away from us so it would take him a long time to get down.

But Percy did the exact opposite.

"Look out below!" He yelled and leaped from 25 yards away.

"Percy!" Calypso screamed.

Like a comet, Percy sped towards us. He crashed right into the ground but vanished.

By this time the gods were here, looking around. "Percy!" Artemis yelled.

"You guys need to calm down." Percy rose from the ground; his eyes a striking green.

"Gaea powers." He explained when the gods shot him a questioning look.

"I'm never handing you a motorcycle." Artemis commented, brushing the dirt off his shoulders.

Apart from that, today was amazing.
