Authors Note-

This is my first fanfic so please review! I really am going in at the deep end, because I had to do some research about America (where this story is set) and how they say certain things and look at a map and everything because I am English and wanted this to be as realistic as possible (If anything is wrong please tell me). I love the Hunger Games and don't want to mess this up! So read and enjoy!

I don't own the Hunger Games *sniff* or Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepson (do I have to disclaim that?)

"Hurry up!" Clove Cartwright yells up the stairs to me for the tenth time. "Half an hour late, Kat! How do you manage it?!"

"With much hard-earned skill!" I say with a cocky grin, walking down the stairs. I plonk my heavy suitcase and green rucksack on the ground. "Cato! I'm down!" Cato Harrison walks out of my family room and picks up my suitcase.

"We're leaving finally?" Cato teases. I'm known for being unorganized and late. "Quick, we still have the others to pick up".

"PanemParc, here we come!" Peeta Mellark shouts from the driver's seat as we pull out onto the highway. Me and The Victors (which is what we call ourselves, since the boys won the America High School Football League last year) are taking driving shifts in the minibus we have hired for our holiday road trip. I had invited them all over one night to pitch my ideas to the others, who at first said I was crazy. I showed them how great it would be and eventually convinced them all to come.

Our plan is simple but took a while to organize; I, Peeta, Clove, Cato, Johanna and Finnick have all saved up enough money to hire a minibus for a month, and pay for PanemParc, a holiday park in America, in South South Carolina. We will travel from our home in North South Carolina. It will take about 4 hours to drive there and we would stay for 13 nights, then travel to New York for another 13 nights and then travel back home to South Carolina.

I just can't believe it's finally happening; we have prepared for 9 months. Now we can spend a whole month with my best friends and my boyfriend, Peeta. I'm especially excited for the latter, because I've only been with Peeta for 3 months and with organising the trip, haven't had much time with him. Not alone, at least. The sound of Peeta and Cato bickering snaps me out of my thoughts.

"Dude, why would you say left when you meant right?" Peeta is shouting at Cato and pulling over onto the dusty area by an emergency telephone for broken down vehicles.

"Come on man! It's an easy mistake!" Cato argues back while trying to read the map.

"No it's not, brainless" Johanna calls out from the back, where she's sitting with Finnick and Clove. "They're completely different ways!"

"Yeah!" I agree "How do you confuse those two? It's like saying that - CATO!" I snatch the map from his hands, almost ripping it in the process. "You have the map upside down!"

"Cato!" "Seriously?" "How brainless have ya' gotta be?" People are crying out from the back of the minibus.

I look at the map and lean over to Peeta. I ask him where we are now and then help find which way to go. In the background I can still hear Johanna insulting Cato. "Peeta, let's leave before they get outa' hand, huh?"

Peeta turns the engine back on and pulls out. "OK, new plan guys," he says addressing the rest of us, "Katniss is on map duty, Cato you're canned. Any objections? No? OK! Moving on!" We all laugh at the I'm-so-offended-you-would-ever-say-that face Cato pulls,and laugh even harder when his cheeky smile can't hold back any longer and a massive beam spreads across his cheeks.

"So anyone bring their iPod?" I ask, picking up the wire to connect one to the minibus speakers.

"Yep!" Finnick shouts out, passing forward his iPod.

"Whoo!" Johanna cries, knowing that Finnick's iPod always has the best music playlists.

"I made a playlist especially for the car journey with a bit of every ones favourite music on it." Finnick is so thoughtful; he is a loyal friend who thinks of everyone. Some lucky girl will snatch him up one day. Too bad he claims to not want a girlfriend...

"Who wants first pick on music?" Peeta asks. Cato lunges forward to snatch the device from my hands. I pull back just before his fingers reach it. "Just for that, I'm gonna let my girl have first pick." Peeta says with a glance over at Cato before turning back to the road. For a second he catches my eye and gives me a quick wink. My stomach flutters.

"Ha-ha Cato" I jeer, turning the white wheel on the iPod to make my choice. I press the select button and Call Me Maybe blasts out of the speakers.

"Ugh! That's why you shouldn't get first choice!" Cato scowls.

"What? It's the ultimate summer song! The weather is perfect, we have a whole month to ourselves and I'm with the most amazing people a girl could know; this summer will be epic!"

"These beds! And look at the view! Whoa, there are 900 channels on the TV! Awesome! Jacuzzi bath!" Cato is running from room to room in our villa. While everyone had been tired after a 4 hour car journey, since arriving in our accommodation 10 minutes ago, we have all had a sudden boost of energy, hence Cato running around like a kid in a toy store.

It's already 7 pm and we have about an hour until our meal at Panem Pizza, which is here in the parc. In our villa there are two bathrooms, three bedrooms, and an open plan kitchen diner and living space.

"Guys!" Cato yells across to us, "What are sleeping arrangements?" How did I not think of that?

"Cato, what kind of beds are they?" Johanna inquires. He goes back to check.

"Three rooms, all with twin beds. So who's going where?"

"I wanna go with Clove" Johanna states. Clove nods and links arms with Johanna.

"Well, Finnick and Cato can take another room and me and Katniss will take the other. That OK?" Peeta walks up behind me and hugs me from behind. We all nod. Cato and Finnick pick up their luggage while the girls walk off to find their room.

"Behave you two" Finnick teases over his shoulder, walking out to the hallway. Behave? Me and Peeta haven't even shared our first kiss.

Peeta picks up mine and his luggage with ease and takes them to the remaining free room. We unpack our things and start to get ready for our meal.

Authors Note-

Phew! That took 1 hour and a half to write! I really need reviews to know whether to carry on or not. If you're a Clato fan or ship any other characters, just check my profile and see my shipping section to see if your favourite ship is there, because I have many more ships to come. Only if you guys like this though.

If you're American and anything seemed wrong, I did a lot of research while writing this, you might not realise. If anything was tremendously wrong, please leave in a review, but I don't think anything was...

If you're in the UK, you might recognise the name PanemParc? Well I got back from a holiday at CenterParcs today, so it was a bit of inspiration.

Thanks is you read this far!
