A/n - Okay so This will end up being like a short little six or seven chapter (yes that is short) Annie and Finnick Dabble of things memories the two share :) Please review and read. :)
Annie Cresta had etched in her mind her meeting with Finnick Odair. She was just a child only having turned six the week before. She had begged her uncle to take her to the ocean with him. She had recently learned to swim like all of the other five year olds in the district. It was a mandatory class because well the district was surrounded by water and most people in the district became fishermen, and or fisherwomen. Annie was the top in her class seeing as her father taught her how to swim as a child before his untimely death.
Annie splashed around in the shallow water while her uncle prepared the boat. It was fairly early in the morning the sun still sitting on the horizon of buildings behind Annie. Her light sun bleached blonde hair pulled into a ponytail and bouncing around her face as she giggled. She wore a coral pink dress over her light pink one piece bathing suit the bottom of the dress soaking as she spun around cheerfully.
"Annalise Ready," Her uncle called and she stopped spinning looking to see her uncle finished preparing the small john boat used for fishing purposes. Annie giggled once again and ran through the water to where the boat was jumping in her uncle's arms as soon as she could.
"Hey there little clown fish, you ready to get out there." He asked and Annie giggled in response her uncle placed the small girl in the boat before she saw two figures coming up on the beach.
"Peter, I didn't think you all were going to make it." Annie's uncle had said shaking the man's hand. Annie however wasn't concentrated on the man rather the stalky boy behind him. He was very tall but looked young for his height. He had bright reddish brown hair that drooped over his light green eyes.
"Annie, this is Peter Odair, and his son Finnick." Annie's uncle said and Annie was pulled out of her thoughts about the boy.
"Hi Mister. Odair, Finnick nice to meet you." She chirped in her airy tone.
"Nice to meet you Annie, are you going to help us fish today." Peter Odair asked in a tone that suggested one was speaking to a child. Annie was never found of this tone but she had gotten used to it. But instead of giving the man an answer she just giggled and nodded her head.
The four set out Annie and Finnick near the nose of the boat watching the ever changing water. When they had gotten far enough out Peter and Annie's Uncle stopped patting threw the small anchor over and got ready to begin fishing.
"Finnick, why don't you and go down and fish with the nets." Peter asked and Finnick smiled stripping off his oversized white shirt and diving head first into the water in his bathing suit net in hand. Annie slipped off her dress and dove in seconds later.
Then the two with goggles over their eyes dove down deep into the water amongst the fish that swam freely around the two children. They ended up catching a lot that day but Finnick and Annie created a friendship that day that weathered many a storm, and two hunger games.
