FK Day 7 - Who is the captain?

You wake up with clean underwear, but only because Elena's teasing last night drove you so crazy that you crept into the bathroom at midnight and rubbed one out.

The chilly, but peaceful quiet in the dark only lasts until Tiff marches into the cabin, full of energy, literally banging two pots together. She keeps banging them even after everyone is awake and covering their ears.

She finally stops.

"Get dressed and get to the dining hall," she says. "Eat light, then go to yoga room 5 for warmup."

"What kind of drills today?" you ask. It can't be anything difficult because you have that practice game this afternoon.

"No drills," Tiff says, and the girls all murmur to each other in confusion. No drills?

"I'm not allowed to tell you. You'll see. You're on TV now, remember? You knew it was going to be crazy. They warned you. Quit acting surprised. Remember what I said. Eat light."

"Do we know who we play later?" Lara asks, raising her hand.

Tiff grimaces.

"Blue Team," says.

That's Adella's team.

You feel sudden apprehension. And then you feel relief. Playing against Blue Team today means you will NOT play against them in Friday's much more important game.

You all get dressed and eat a small breakfast, where the Blue Team watches you, and you watch them. There is very little interaction between the teams at the dining hall, and even less as you all go to different yoga rooms at the gym.

Tiff doesn't do yoga. She leads you through quick stretches, and then you have to change into your... uniforms? The uniform is not a soccer uniform. It's more like what olympic runners wear: like skimpy bicycle shorts and an extremely tight crop top. Confused, you and the others all put them on. It's not very modest for the girls like you, but everyone is too nervous about the day to be distracted by some bulges. You wish you weren't too scared to enjoy the view...

You wave at some of the cameras as all the girls in the camp walk out to the path into the woods, where half the teams split off and take another path. You wonder where they are going.

Your team arrives at the beginning of an elaborate obstacle course. It's long, with a LOT of obstacles. You can tell by looking at the map that it will be totally exhausting. So you will all be tired and sore for this afternoon's match.

"Cheer up, it'll be fun," you tell some of the girls who are complaining. Other captains are doing the same thing with their teams.

It's as long and difficult as you fear, but you are good at this. You are an athlete, even if some of the obstacles require a lot of upper body strength, which is not your strong suit. You still do well! You are fast and have good balance...

...until you get to the final obstacle. You are at the lake, and you have to cross a lot of spinning logs to get to the other side, but there's like this fog out there...

Someone hands you a staff with pads on the ends.

"What's this for?" you ask.

"For balance," she replies.

Oh no... You carefully go out, balancing... until you see that there is someone else in the fog up ahead, coming toward you.

So THAT is what this is about. That is why they split up the teams... part of this course is getting past this other player.

You see that it is... Zoey! She's an American player, a sporty brunette with a ponytail that reminds you a bit of Lara. You have met her lots of times, and she's cool!

This should be a fair fight. This is fun! You rush in there, swinging your staff thing, and to your surprise, Zoey actually kind of seems to know how to fight?

You splash into the water when she knocks you in, and right away she throws away her staff and tries to help you, but you pull her in, because fuck it. You both swim to shore and share a quick hug. You wish Zoey was on your team. Maybe you can text her later.

You go rejoin your teammates, and shit... Elena's lanky, muscled body is just made for this training uniform. Her long legs and rippling abs. Just wow.

Well, that was hard work. Everyone has an appetite, but you have to rinse off before lunch. You all head for the showers, and that's paradise in the steam. Maybe it was hugging Zoey, or maybe last night... but you find yourself with a hard, painful boner without even going out of your way to stare at your teammates. Luckily there's enough steam to hide it... mostly.

As some of the other girls are finishing, Elena comes to the shower beside yours, and her spectacular brown body is not helping things.

"You are distracted, Captain," she says.

You watch the other girls leave for lunch. It's just you and Elena.

"You should take care of it before the game," she says, looking right at you.

Hmm...

Do what she says?

or

Remind her that you are the captain?
