Chapter 21
Sir Gwaine slowly turned, his eye scanning the area through the scope of his weapon, and he watched the trees for any sign of his quarry. He had been tracking Sir Leon, and he'd nearly gotten the man when Sir Elyan took the senior knight out with a bright pink splatter all across his chest. Leon had cursed a blue streak, and anyone within earshot had guffawed at this uncharacteristic display of temper. Moving as silently as he could, Gwaine moved further down the trail.
THWAP!
"OW! Bloody HELL!"
Having just been shot in his backside, Gwaine turned to see none other than Camelot's Future Queen, her own paintball rifle trained on his head as she prepared to take another shot. She was dressed in dark clothing, her bright auburn hair hidden by the hood of her jacket. "I thought you said head shots were ILLEGAL!" he shouted in a mild panic, envisioning just how much a paint pellet to the skull might smart.
Kelly kept her rifle trained on the man, and she smiled. "If you surrender, it's all good." Keeping aim at his head, she moved closer, her stance a defensive one.
Pouting slightly, Gwaine capped the barrel of his weapon, the bright orange flag signaling his exit from the game so that he could return to base camp without further wounding. "You are one frightening woman, my lady," he muttered. "Hell of a shot, too…" He absently rubbed his left buttock, grimacing as he tried to soothe the bruised body part. "I probably already have a nice, dark bruise…"
"Oh, PLEASE!" Kelly laughed, watching him leave. "IF I'd gotten you at close range, maybe. It's just a baby welt!" She turned to reenter the 'arena', a mischievous smile lighting her face. "Now to find my husband…."

A/N:
Yeah, I know. I'm warped. This scene just popped into my head. Just the vision of our brave knights running for cover, armor splattered with all the pretty colors of the rainbow! *Evil Cackle* I couldn't resist. :D I hope you enjoy my random ramblings!
I'm trying to put myself back into the proper mindset, so you'll see plenty of random stuff. If there is something you'd like to see written up, please suggest away! I need some inspiration. Thanks for your support, guys, it means SO MUCH!
