AN:

This is set right before the start of the 73rd Hunger Games. I had a rough time writing for the prologue to get Kim and Jack into Panem. This chapter is not written in any point view. After this chapter, it will change between Jack and Katniss point view, occasionally I may do another characters point of view. Hope you enjoy.

Disclaimer:

I do not own anything Kickin' It or Hunger Games related.

Enter Panem

"Hey guys, wanna grab some falafels?" Jack asked the Wasabi Warriors as they packed their duffels up, having finished up practice.

"No can do, yo," replied Jerry. "Rudy's got me cleaning the locker rooms after the cheese mishap." With a shrug, he headed off towards the locker rooms, Rudy right on his heels.

"I'm meeting Julie to go over our science project." Milton threw his duffle over his shoulder and walked out the door.

Eddie sighed. "Mom's taking me to the orthodontist. I will stop by afterwards." He waved and headed out the dojo.

Jack spun on his heel to face Kim. "Kim?"

Kim nervously giggled. "So just the two of us then?" She asked shyly.

Jack smirked, "Guess so. Shall we?" The two headed over to Falafel Phil's.

Bzzzz Bzzzzz

Kim grabbed her phone and read a text from her dad telling her to get home. She let out a frustrated sigh. She was finally getting some alone time with Jack and of course something just had to come up to ruin it!

"Everything ok, Kimmy?"

Putting her phone back into her pocket, she nodded. "My dad said I need to get home. I'm sorry Jack. Rain check?"

"Oh, yeah, no it's ok," Jack replied disappointed. "I'll walk ya home." He stuck the crook of his arm out.

With a smile, Kim looped her arm around Jacks. "Thanks, Jack." He smiled as she snuggled a little closer to him.

A loud rumbling noise grabbed their attention as the ground started to shake and split. "Earthquake!" Kim yelled. Jack pulled her away from the buildings as the trembling grew more intense.

"Jack! Look out!" Kim screamed as a couple of trees came falling down right towards them, their world going black.

Jack sat up rubbing his head, finding himself in the middle of a forest. "Kim?" he called out confused.

"Here," she groaned, looking around. "Where are we?" she stood up staring up at the trees to see the little spots of blue sky. Looking back at her surroundings, she spotted a couple in a small clearing. "Hey!" She yelled out to them.

Hearing Kim yell out, Jack turned his attention to the people in the clearing and started to jog towards them when an arrow flew right in front of him and stuck in the tree next to him. "Woah!" He threw an arm out to stop Kim. They both looked in the direction the arrow came from, just barely seeing a girl about their age raise a finger to her lips and shake her head, before disappearing back into the foliage.

"Who was that?" demanded Kim. "Why is she shooting arrows at us? Arrows, Jack! Who shoots arrows?!"

"Whoever the hell you two are, take Katniss' warning, shut up and stay hidden." A male who looked to be a little older came out of nowhere, grabbed the arrow out of the tree.

Jack grabbed the guys arm. "What's going on here?" A second arrow flew by jack, nicking him in the shoulder. Gasping in pain he released the mystery man. "Tell your friend to stop shooting at us!"

The man smirked. "If she pegged you as a threat, you'd be dead before you knew to fear for your life." His eyes flicked back to the couple in the clearing. All the noise had alerted them. He shrunk back into the trees. "Your lives mean nothing to me." He whispered. "But if they mean anything to you, shut up and stay hidden." And with that he disappeared.

"Jack, I don't like this," Kim hugged herself, looking around worried.

Jack had never heard her sound scared before. She was always so confident. The fact that she was scared was making him uneasy. "We'll be ok, Kim. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise."

A loud noise from the clearing caught their attention. A huge white craft has appeared out of nowhere, the couple screamed as they disappeared into it. Just as fast as the craft had appeared, it had disappeared.

"What just happened?" a freaked out Kim asked.

Jack remained quiet as he watched the female and male approach freakishly quiet, edging along the sides of the each side of the clearing, constantly checking their surroundings. Avoiding the clearing, they met in the middle covered by bushes. The female grabbed her arrows from the male and returned them to her quiver. They seemed to be arguing and kept gesturing in their direction. The female crossed her arms and followed the male towards them. Jack positioned himself in front of Kim as they approached.

"Are you stupid?" The female eyed them both, obviously not liking what they were wearing.

The male shook his head. "Who are you?" he asked calmly, leaning against a tree.

"I'm Jack, this is Kim."

"Gale," the man replied. Glancing over at the female, he cleared his throat.

She shot him a glare before replying. "Katniss."

"Interesting names," Jack replied backing up a little just in case. This Katniss was obviously one not to mess with, and while Gale seemed nice, you can't always take a person at point blank.

Katniss rolled her eyes. "Let's go, Gale. Twelve's going to be crawling with Peacekeepers for the Reaping."

Gale gave a knowing nod. "You two obviously aren't from 12. Look to be from a career district."

"There's no way they would still be alive if that were true." Katniss cut in.

"What would you say then, Catnip?"

"You hear how loud they are. They obviously can't walk quietly through the forest. They obviously aren't starving, so they've been eating and have no weapons. How would they have gotten any game? And they are clean. If they were on the run, Peacekeepers would have caught them long before now." Katniss pointed out, shocked all of that got past Gale.

"Then what district?"

Jack cleared his throat, getting the two hunters attention. "We aren't from a district. We're from Seaford."

"And we would like to be getting back. We have a karate tournament in a couple days," Kim spoke up, stressing the word karate so they knew they could protect themselves if need be. "If you could just point the way, we'll be outta here."

"Seaford? Is that your name for District 4?"

Jack shook his head. "Seaford, California. What's District 4?"

"California?" Katniss asked slowly. "District 4 is the Fishing District."

"Like a wharf?" Kim asked getting annoyed.

Katniss and Gale looked at each other before turning back to them and shaking their heads.

"Are we in California?" Jack asked.

Katniss looked him in the eyes and said, "No. I do not know where this California is. We are in the forests surrounding District 12, the last district of Panem."
