Paintball! Tuesday, May 13, 2025,

It was the summer, so naturally that meant heading to the campsite away from town that had been entirely claimed as a paintball course by now to meet your very excited teachers. One was being decidedly more cool about it than the other. (It was the sunglasses that made the other one look so cool.)

"Welcome to paintball!" Steve, the less cool one, said excitedly. "For those who are new to this sport, we take these guns--" he held it up, "and shoot them safely at each other until there is only one remaining. That person has bragging right for the week and is generally the target in the next class."

"My name is Tony Stark and this here is Steve Rogers in case you're new," Tony added. "Don't worry, we'll be getting right into playing without much more preamble. For this first go at it, feel free to use any powers or skills you might have. Gives us a level we should be designing the courses for."

They'd stop before river of lava, Anakin.

"Make sure to put on the coveralls we've provided," Steve said. "And the eye protection."

"And remember to have fun!" You competitive weirdos.

"Tony and I will be joining in," Steve added because unlike cooking, they were actually pretty talented at paintball.

"Better believe it," Arden said with a laugh as she flung herself into a forward roll. "Dinner stakes again?"

"Absolutely. Especially since I get to admit now that I look forward to our dates." Cal grinned and took a shot at her, mostly as a warning. "I've already been making a list of places."

Were...were they becoming the kind of couple that flirted and bantered during battle? Even if they were battling each other?

She dodged and returned fire, but none of them hit. Stupid Jedi tricks. Unfair. "Where did you want to bring me first?" she asked, ducking behind a tree.

They were, because they really were made for each other!

"I'm still debating between you taking me somewhere fancy and getting as many tacos as we can stuff into our faces," he said. He took a chance and ran out to get closer, ducking behind another cover. "Really, the pleasure of your company is the most important part, along with the bragging rights."

"I bet you're really looking forward to bragging to people about how your girlfriend kicked so much ass in Paintball," Arden called. "Including your own!"

Okay, well, maybe not today. But third was pretty respectable!

Also, way to leave yourself open to getting shot, Arden.

"I'll definitely brag about it once it happens!" he called back, aiming at her and firing. Did he use the Force to help his aim? Maybe, but it was still fair.

Cheaty Force powers.

"You mean like tod--" Arden stared down at her torso, a painball spatter directly center mass. "...Okay, nice shot," she told him, grinning, before falling down and expiring in the most dramatic way possible.
