Hey guys! Yeah it's me again. Sorry I took so long to update. My computer at home broke so I have to go to the library to type all this up.

So, I really am running out of ideas for my ones shots now. If any of you out there have any ideas you can lend to me, I can make them into chapters in my stories.

Well anyways, I got into my regional track and field team for my school!

I'm doing long jump and high jump. I actually don't like doing long jump that much.

I really like doing high jump though. I find it amazingly fun.

So this one shot is in the Titan's Curse. It's when Percy and Thalia have that fight in capture the flag. Although this time annabeth is not kidnapped, so she sees the whole thing.

Oh yeah, I always forget to say this, but I do not own PJO!

Aright, on with the story…

A Game Gone Bad

Annabeth POV

Oooh, this was about to get ugly. I knew it was a bad idea for Percy and Thalia to co-captain. They could never have cooperated enough to run the team! So now the team lost because apparently, Percy had left his position at border patrol, and went to get the other team's flag.

Thalia was stalking up to Percy, and she was literally had blue sparks all around her.

She had her spear-aegis-out. It must have tooken Percy a lot of willpower to not cringe under the powerful gaze of her shield. The rest of the camp backed away, and formed a circle around both Percy and Thalia.

"What in the name of the gods were you thinking?" Thalia bellowed at Percy.

It was actually quite scary how mad Thalia was. I knew that both Thalia and Percy had bad tempers, and could never really get along quite right. Well of course being the son of Poseidon, and a daughter of Zeus, they could never get along.

This was going to get really bad.

I saw percy ball his fists, as he as well got angry. Then he said, "I got the flag Thalia! I saw a chance and I took it!"

They both would not give in. This would turn into a fight-I just knew it.

"I WAS AT THEIR BASE! But the flag was gone. If you hadn't butted in, we would've won!" Thalia shouted.

"You had too many on you!" Percy replied.

"Oh so it's my fault."

"I didn't say that."

Thalia looked so mad by this that I was surprised she hadn't blown a long time ago.

"Arrgh!"

Thalia pushed Percy, hard. At first I thought that it was just a shove, but then a ripple went through Percy's body, and he was blown ten feet back, into the creek. If he hadn't landed in the creek, he would've been knocked out for sure.

He was lying on his back in the creek. A lot of the campers gasped, surprised to see their hero being pushed around like that. And of course, some of the hunters laughed.

Thalia looked genuinely sorry as she said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to-"

Just as she was about to finish her sentence, Percy raised his arms and a huge wave came up from the creek. And it was directed straight for Thalia.

He threw down his arms, and the huge wave came down, full force on to Thalia. The water stayed on her a few seconds before washing away.

"Yeah, I didn't mean to either." Percy spat.

This was getting a little out of hand now. If they weren't stopped soon, things could get really bad.

Chiron tried to stop them by saying "Enough!", but Percy and Thalia were on a roll now. They weren't about to be stopped like that.

By now both of them were breathing heavily.

Thalia held her spear in front of her and said, "You want some of this, seaweed brain?"

Seaweed brain? Only I was allowed to call Percy that! It was kind of an unspoken rule. Something in Percy changed too. I could tell he didn't like being called seaweed brain by thalia.

He raised his sword and replied by saying, "Bring it on, pinecone face!"

Suddenly thalia yelled, and a blast of lightning came down from the sky. It hit her spear, and the bolt shot through it like it had conducted the energy. The bolt hit Percy square in the chest. Thankfully, he was in the creek so the bolt didn't do as much damage as it would've done if he wasn't.

By now, the entire camp was watching intently as Percy was sitting in the creek with his clothes singed and smoking. After all this was the camps first major big three fight since sooo long.

I was actually kind of surprised that Percy didn't even look that tired yet. Probably because he was using the water around him to give him energy.

Chiron tried to stop the both of them again. "Thalia, that is enough!" but it was only left in futile.

Percy got up again with a new determination. He stepped out of the creek and with a look of concentration; he summoned the entire creek to spin in a huge, dangerous and icy funnel.

He lifted his arms, and then pushed his arms forward. The water followed his movements, going forward ever so slowly to Thalia. Thalia stared at the funnel with a look of dread. Then, before she could even turn to run, Percy pushed his arms forward quickly and the funnel was thrown on to Thalia.

You could hear Thalia's spluttering and coughing as the funnel overtook her. Finally after what felt like an eternity, (probably felt longer to Thalia) Percy relaxed his arms and the water dissolved into thin air.

The whole camp stared at Thalia, as she lay on the ground coughing up water. I bet this was the first time that they ever saw a daughter of Zeus get almost beaten by water.

After about five minutes, Thalia got up again. This time she was so mad, you could literally see her eyes sparkling with bolts.

"THAT"S IT!" she shouted with so much fury, that the whole camp took a few steps back, including Percy.

She let a shout, and a humongous lightning bolt materialized out of nowhere. This time it didn't detour at her spear first, it shot straight to Percy.

Luckily at the last minute, Percy put a barrier of water between him and the lightning bolt as if he were using it as a shield.

I looked at the lightning bolt. It was really, very big. It was a bolt worthy of Zeus.

I glanced over at Thalia. Her eyebrows were scrunched up, but her face showed no sign of mercy. She didn't look tired at all, as if summoning that bolt took no energy out of her. Which it probably didn't, because of all the adrenaline that was probably coursing through her right now.

I then looked over to Percy. On the other hand, he didn't look too good. I could tell he was straining against holding the barrier of water. Beads of sweat were trickling down his forehead. He dug his feet into the mud near the creek a little more with each passing second.

By now, the entire camp was on edge and biting their nails. They didn't want to see either of their heroes lose in this battle.

I figured it would only take a little while longer for Thalia to break Percy's barrier of water. Then…then he would get hit by the lightning.

Of course, I was right.

The lightning broke through the water with a BOOM and Percy was hit with the lightning. The sky around was illuminated as the lightning coursed through him. Finally the lightning died, after staying inside of him for as long as three minutes. And Percy was left to stand there.

I could see the hole in his shirt where the lightning had hit him.

He wobbled on his feet, swaying side to side. His sword dropped to the floor.

Then his eyes rolled upward as he hit the ground with a thud.

There was nothing but silence after that.

All the anger had melted from Thalia's eyes, and she just looked at Percy's broken body in shock as if she couldn't believe she had just done that.

I found my voice again as I shouted "Percy!" and ran to him. He looked so broken lying on the ground. I could see the angry red burns all across his chest where the bolt had hit. I also felt Thalia by my side.

A few Apollo medics and Chiron came to help Thalia and I carry Percy to the infirmary.

Once we got there, we put him down on one of the empty beds in the corner of the infirmary. I sat down beside his bed in a chair.

Will Solace, one of the Apollo medics gave him some ambrosia, while others bandaged his chest where he has been hit.

"He'll be ok", Will told me.

I sighed. "Thanks"

Thalia sat beside me on a chair. I had forgotten she was still here.

"I'm really, really sorry Annabeth!" she said. "I guess I just got out of control! I didn't even realize what I was doing until…" she cut herself off. She looked as if she was about to cry.

I turned to look at her. "I know Thalia. I know it was an accident, and I totally forgive you. It's fine."

She looked at me. "Really?"

"Really."

Nether of us said a word after that.

We just waited. Waited for when Percy would wake up.

I was asleep when I felt a nudge next to my hand. I woke with a start, and the first thing I saw was Thalia sitting on a chair beside me, asleep with her head supported by one hand.

I then turned to look at Percy and saw that he was awake.

I gasped.

"Percy, you're awake!"

A grunt came from Thalia and she slowly woke too.

"Huh? what? Percy's awake?" she said groggily. Then her eyes slowly widened with realization. "Oh, Percy you're awake!"

He winced as he lifted himself off his pillow.

"Agh, yeah I'm awake."

I could see a patch of blood on his bandaged chest.

"Oh Percy, I'm so sorry!" Thalia suddenly exclaimed.

"I hate myself for hitting you with the bolt!

"It's ok Thalia." He said with a painful smile on his face. "If I were in you're place, I would've done the same thing."

Thalia smiled at Percy, and Percy smiled back. For the first time, I could see a potential friendship bonding between them.

"When did you wake up?" I asked him.

"About five minutes ago." He paused. "How long has it been?"

"Two days." I answered with a grim expression on my face.

Thalia looked down guiltily.

"Two days?"

"Yep."

Percy sighed. "Well, it's not like this hasn't happened before.

He stopped and looked at both me and Thalia in the face.

"You guys look terrible. You should really go get some sleep."

"But-" Thalia tried to say something but she was interrupted by Percy.

"Why don't both of you go down to your cabins. I'll be fine."

Percy laid back on to his pillow.

I sighed once again. I knew it was true, and that we probably looked terrible after being in the infirmary for so long.

"Ok, fine" I said. "Come on Thalia.

"kay"

Me and Thalia both walked out of the infirmary.

I started walking toward the Athena cabin, while Thalia went to the Zeus cabin. It was late at night, so everyone at my cabin was asleep.

I slowly walked over to my bunk, trying not to disturb anyone and collapsed onto bed.

My eyes would barely stay open. I had only gotten about three hours of sleep at most ever since Percy was knocked out.

So for once I was so tired I actually had a dreamless sleep.

I know, this wasn't one of my best, but I tried!

I really wanted to do a capture the flag fight story for a long time now and I finally got to do it.

I just was really pissed when the oracle came and ended the fight. I really wanted to know what was going to happen!

so anyways, people don't forget to review.

Remember, more reviewing means more updates sooner!
