Me: Whoa. 12 reviews. Nice. :D Thanks so much!

(yes, most were from HecateA, but still. It was nice)

I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever. My computer broke, I had to get it fixed, frantically write my mid-term paper, and then deal with a minor case of writer's block.

So, I am sorry for the wait.

This is: Teamwork.

I promised you Percabeth so Percabeth it is.

And since I had a minor case of writer's block, I already wrote Tower even though it's like 11 chapters away. I do believe that will be the weirdest chapter I have done yet, but I love it already.

Which brings me back to how we are only 9 more chapter away from Halfway point.

Intense.

Percy, Annabeth

Summary preview: They worked better as a team.

I looked at Annabeth, already know the strategy, knowing my role, knowing every step I would need to take, to bring this other side down.

Now if only she didn't see the army of skeleton spiders creeping up behind her, we might get out of this victorious.

There was a scream in the far left line (that sounded weirdly guy-ish- Malcom no doubt), and Annabeth whirled around, then froze.

But then the other team of Capture the Flag was off, and my co-captain was just standing there, frozen as was many of her siblings.

"You will pay for this di Angelo." I muttered, before taking Annabeth by the hand, throwing random objects at Athena children I passed, while running to where she had previously guess we would need the most fighter at.

The Athena cabin seemed to get over their shock long enough to start running away to where we had agreed to meet up, the Apollo cabin close behind them.

We set up the ambush, though it wasn't as sturdy as I would like considering we had a late start, but it was better then nothing.

"Get it together guys! We lost the spiders way back there. Focus on the task we have now." I encouraged them, and watched as they slowly shook off their fear to be the clever children that would slowly destroy the other team.

I knew Annabeth must be so proud.

She tugged on my hand slightly to let me know that she was back from her nightmare.

"Sorry about that. It's just, you know," she shuddered.

"Spiders." we said at the same time, and she smiled at me, before we took our place at guarding the flag.

Annabeth let go of my hand as she placed her invisibility cap on, and hid near-by.

I, on the other hand, hid under the creek, and waited to freeze any demigod that got past our stationed team.

I didn't have to wait for very long.

A group of devilish children of Hermes, ran towards the flag, a smirk on their faces.

A wave of water stopped them, and suddenly, I was beside Annabeth, and we were fighting two on one.

From the outside, I think our fighting style looks somewhat like a dance.

Every step in sync, every move helping the other, every clash a point of encouragement.

A dangerous pair, we made.

Child of Athena and Poseidon.

Oh the irony.

There was no shock when we won.

After all, we work better using teamwork.

I grinned at Annabeth, and saw her smiled back, a hint of approval in her eyes.

I felt just a little bit better then.

Me: Thoughts? Opinions? Sudden ending, I know. But, it had to end somewhere, and that was the best ending out of the four I wrote.

Next chapter: Standing Still.

I will warn you now, the fluff chapters will end with the next chapter.

Blame one too many depressing free-verse one-shots giving me inspiration to write.

Good news it, I should be able to post it tomorrow.

:)
