Scott and Gordon set out the rules. "Okay. Each team has a flag, and will go out and set up a 'fort' or 'base' and that's where your flag will be kept. The object of the game is to capture the other teams' flags without getting shot," Scott explained. "Last man standing gets all the flags, unless someone has collected them all before everyone else is out. Then person who collected the flags wins."

"If you're shot, you're out for the round," Gordon added. "Anywhere above the neck is off limits, but the rest of the body is fair game. These paintballs do sting, and if you're really hurt, Mom is down on the beach as first aid. And that's where you should go if you get hit anyway."

"Does everyone understand the rules?" Scott asked, handing Alex a stick with a red bandanna on it. He took the blue bandanna and Gordon got a yellow one.

The players murmured their understanding, and then Scott said, "Okay. Let's go! And may my... oh, may the best team win!"

"We intend to!" replied Nikki to Scott's 'almost' slip up.

********

The three teams headed off in different directions to find a fort. Gordon found a suitable spot, and he and his team sat down to strategize.

"We'll hit Scott's fort first, Christopher, since you're not... feeling well, you're the fort defender. "

Christopher wearily agreed. "Right, Guv."

"The rest of us will cover you and each other to and from the fort. If you get hit, use your wrist-comms. Try to stay close, cover your rear ends, and get Scott!" They all laughed and, checking that their weapons were loaded, headed off towards their targets.

********

"How about over here Brandon?" called out Alex.

"Looks good to me. Make sure we can secure the fort if we get backed into it. We want to be able to shoot from all sides," added Brandon. Alex had been grateful for Brandon's help navigating through the brush and dense overgrown areas.

Kat walked along with Callie. "So, have you ever played this before Callie?"

"Years ago, but I don't really remember all the rules, I only remembered feeling like I'd been stung and I was covered in paint!" They both laughed.

"Well, I hope I can manage to shoot this thing!" replied Kat, indicating her weapon.

Virgil gathered his teammates around and discussed a plan.

Although Alex voiced his opinion about being 'gung-ho' for Gordon, it was agreed they should all go for Scott, and take out as many enemy warriors as they could along the way!

"After all, he's my only big brother and it's his birthday!" Virgil grinned. "Then once we've got Scott's flag... we get Gordon!"

"YESSSSS!!" Alex gleamed.

*******

"Okay, people, here's the plan. Cherry, you're on defense. Make sure no one gets near our flag."

"Aww, Scott," the teen huffed. "I hate being defense!"

"Like or lump it, sis," Scott said. "You're a better shot if you're stationary and a smaller target, too. From this position, you can pick our enemies off no problem."

Cherie still frowned, but she said, "Oh, all right."

"Brains, you and John make a feint at Alex's fort. Get a sense of who, what, and where, then double back to help Elise and me take on Gordon."

"Right, Scott," the engineer said. He tapped John on the arm and the two of them went off in the direction that Alex and his team had taken.

"You ready, Collins?" Scott asked.

"Ready, willing, and able, sir!" she answered with a mock salute. They checked their weapons, and headed off together. Elise closely shadowed Scott who walked carefully through the wild shrubbery.

"I see you haven't forgotten the rule," he whispered over his shoulder.

"You're right. I haven't. You taught me it and that's why I'm stuck to you like glue! Never, ever leave your wingman! Works in the air, and it'll work on the ground!"

He grinned. "You got it, Lieutenant! I'm proud of you. Now let's go kick some serious butt. It's my birthday and I want some flags!"
