Hey guys, sorry I haven't updated in a while but I have been super busy. I hope you guys like this chapter, I'll update again as soon as I can. I just need to make one small correction to the previous chapter. I said that the "fun fest of team building" was going to be on Friday, but I meant to put Saturday, so just keep that in mind. Hope you like it!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It was the morning of the super fun team building "fun fest" and, as usual, I was running late. A few of my teammates and I agreed to carpool together, and I was the driver. The first person I was supposed to pick up was Annabeth, we agreed on 8:00, now it's about 8:15. She's going to be pissed. I dashed out my front door and raced down the hall, barley missing my 75 year old neighbor holding her mail while stepping out of the elevator. Finally I reached the parking garage and sprinted to my car hoping that some greater force would make the traffic disappear.

About ten minutes later I pulled up to Annabeth's apartment building, where, of course, she was waiting outside with an extremely pissed look on her face, when she saw me it turned into a full on glare. If looks could kill, I would be pushing daisies. She walked over to the car and got in the passenger door. Then turned to me and said, "If I lose my job because I'm late, you will be sorry you were ever born!"

"Bud isn't gonna fire you just because you were late to his little funfest, wise girl, calm down."

"Clearly you have never been to one of his little field trips, I knew I should have been the driver, we would have been there by now, what took you so long anyway?"

"Annabeth, it's Saturday morning, normally I sleep in till about noon, then sit in bed, eat leftovers and watch TV."

"Productive."

"Extremely, so who am I picking up next?"

"Rachel, then Grover, Nico, and Thalia's last."

I nodded my head then pulled out onto the street. Note: I don't advise trying to drive while your best friend/crush is sitting next to you in very hot outfit. Sure maybe she wasn't wearing a miniskirt and bikini top, but she looked pretty dang good. Her hair was up in two French braids and she was wearing a red-orange tank top, her Bermuda shorts were dark denim and she had Nike sneakers on her feet. In short, she looked like a goddess. I was pulled out of my trance when she suddenly said, "Pull over, that's her apartment!" Startled, I jerked us over to the right where Annabeth had been pointing, causing all the moody New Yorkers around us to start honking. "That was graceful," Annabeth said while trying to hide her smirk.

"Shut up, you could have given me more warning."

"Oh, so it's my fault?"

"Yep."

"You're impossible." And with that we picked up all our friends and headed out to the beach where bud had instructed us to go.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Turns out we were only twenty five minutes late. Sure, the rest of our team grumbled for a bit, but for the most part, nobody really seemed to notice. About five minutes after we arrived Bud called everyone to come to the pavilion so he could distribute schedules. "Okay everybody. You ready for some FUN!" No response. "Okay, I get it, everyone is still tired, I am too, not really, but now we're getting off topic. So as all of you know today is a day for trust, friendship, teambuilding, and fun! If all goes as planned, this should be better than a new episode of Battle Star Galactica! So basically, this is how it's going to go down…dawgs. You and your team will travel around to the different stations every fifteen minutes and do the teambuilding exercise there. Some will require your whole team, and some will only require your partner, so I hope there are no sexual tensions, haha, um, ehem, okay. Don't be surprised if I pop in and take some pictures, nothing like making memories, eh? So if everybody could get with their team we can get started! When the buzzer goes off go to your next station. Please select a team leader, then come and pick up your schedules and listen for the buzzer. Hope you have an awwwwsome time!"

"Wow, he really out did himself that time." Nico murmured. We all quietly laughed and then started debating who the team leader should be. I suggested Annabeth "since she's such a smarty" and she replied by punching me in the shoulder. In the end we decided on Shelly Hann, a thirty year old Asian woman who taught English. Shelly was glad to get the part and thanked all of us continuously. We then headed up to get the schedules. I read mine quickly.

Schedule: Gamma
