Hello readers and readresses! This story includes two OCs Adam and Felicity from the New Kid series on the Phineas and Ferb Archive on Batmarcus' account, you are familier with Phineas and Ferb I'd recommend it with the warning of some spoilers but you can follow this perfectly without it. Start the story!

Blood thuded loudly against my ears as I stared at the stage, my breath hitched in the back of my throat. At age eighteen, I've been in the bowl for through five of these already and this was the last reaping for both my husband's last reaping, so why am I so much more nervous this year.

I could see him on the stage staring at me in complete shock I knew he was thinking the same thinkg I was. WHat were the odds we would be reaped in the same games our last time in?

"Feliss, Feliss, Felicity!" I hear his voice but his lips don't move nor did the words come from his direction.

"Felicity wake up!" His voice said from all around.

The world around me slowly dissolved into a million tiny pixals and my eyes snapped open into the real world. I predictably found myself in our bed with my husband of almost one year Adam over me having obviously been trying to wake me up.

He stared at me icy blue eyes filled with concern, "Are you okay?" He asked.

I swallowed the lump in my throat which felts like a cotton ball, "Yeah, just a nightmare. What time is it?"

"It's just past five in the morning," He said

As I looked up at him, guilt twinged my brain with the force of about a million tiny needles as a stared up at him. "I woke you up, didn't I?"

"Yeah, but it's alright I needed to be up anyway," He said

"Today's reaping day." I reminded nervously. "One more year and we're out of the woods for good." Even as those words left my mouth, I knew they weren't exactly true, though we couldn't get reaped after this year… no one's out of the woods in Panam unless you live in the Capitol.

"I know, but we made it through the others," He said carefully

"In my nightmare, we were both reaped." I told him trying to bite back my fear. "Then we'd have to go into the arena together… and only one of us could make it out."

"It would be you," Adam said holding her close

"No! No! Adam, I can't allow that!" I stumbled fearfully, and it was true, if he were to die I would more that likely kill myself the first chance I got, I didn't tell him that though, I couldn't.

"You know that I could never kill you," He said.

"Yet you somehow expect me to be able to kill you?" I asked sounding absolutely horrified of the idea of him being dead in general much less of my own hand. Equally terrifying is what I knew he meant, him dying by HIS own hand to save me.

"No, but we do not need to worry for now," Adam said.

"I guess you're right there's almost no chance of that happening." I said trying to convince myself as I pulled him into a kiss.

I felt better when we broke apart. I really needed that. Though we broke apart the kill, I still held close to him, I could feel every heartbeat against my own his breath down my neck neither of us daring to say a word.

After an hour or so he finally spoke, "We should get ready," He said.

"Yeah, we should. What are you gonna wear for the reaping?" I asked sliding out from underneath him, though not Career's being from District 3 does put us fairly high up compared to the background districts. Plus, from old money from my father we were in the second richest part of 3 behind the Victor Village.

"I was thinking a black suit," He said.

"Why do you guys get to have it so much easier?" I asked looking through the closet for something for myself.

"I am not sure honestly," He said stripping and heading to the bathroom.

I shuffled through the different blouses, I know girls traditionally wear a dress to reapings but a nice blouse and slacks look just a fance and nice enough to be acceptable. I swear you will NEVERcatch my in a dress, I even wore a pantsuit on our wedding day. "Adam, what do you think I should wear?" I called after him knowing where he was.

"Red and black or blue and white," He said from the shower.

Of course, red and black are his favorite colors, why didn't I think of that one? I pulled out the red and black one and layed it out on our bed before taking out his suit for him as well.

"Can I come back in?" He asked

"Of course you can, why wouldn't you be able to?"

"You might be naked," He said sarcastically.

"I'm not but why would it matter if I was?" I asked him playfully. "It not like it anything you haven't seen hundreds of times before."

"I know, but seeing you that way makes me lose control," He said

"Oh, right." I said looking down, it had to be that way today. We couldn't have the peacekeepers coming after us because we got too 'distracted' with eachother and lost track of time before the reaping.

"Yeah after the reaping though," He said

"Of course after the reaping." I said with a forced smile knowing that that's just assuming that neither of us get reaped.

"We'll be okay," He said as if knowing how I felt without seeing me.

That of course was no surprise though, he just knew me that well. "Why am I so much more nervous this year than I was at any of the previous reapings though?"

"It's the last one people always get nervous when something is so close to being over," He said

"Well, I guess you're right but you'd think it would be worse when we were twelve being our first time."

"You would, but it's not the case in fact," He said and I could tell he was shrugging.

"Well, are you done yet?" I called after not hearing the shower running but he was still in the bathroom. "I need to get my shower, too."

"Yeah, just tell me when I can come in," He said

"I told you that you can when you asked the first time." I reminded in a duh! voice.

"Oh right sorry I am off focus today," He said walking in with a towel around his waist.

"That's understandable, it is reaping day after all." I reminded him giving him a quick kiss and heading into the bathroom.

I could hear the russel of clothing as he dressed in silence.

Adam's POV

Off focus? I'm surprised she didn't catch that understatement of my life. I'm nervous of all heck… but I couldn't tell her that, she'd just get even more nervous. To make matters worse, I had the same exact nightmare last night. It's almost as if it some kind of warning. No, no, it can't be. There's no way we're going to the arena together.

"Then again what if it is weirder things have happened to you," A voice seemed to said inside my head. I ignored it.

I have pretty much gotten use to this little voice in my head seeing as it been there since the incident, even pestering me on Feliss and I's wedding day, but today I just really need it to shut up.

"I'm just saying," it said.

'Well stop!' I thought to it knowing it can obviously hear me.

"Why should I?" It asked.

'Because, I am already stressed out enough with out you making it worse.' I hissed in my thoughts.

"Sorry I am trying to relieve tension."

'You have got to be kidding me, 'Really, because so far you're doin the exact opposite.'

"I am? Sorry"

'Yes, you are.' I thought getting on my suit as I heard the shower turned back off. The voice went silent.

"Adam, can I come out?" I heard Feliss double-check from the bathroom.

"Yeah you can come out," I said

She cam out with a towel draped gracefully around her. "I can't believe this is our last year in the bowl. Seems like just yesterday it was our first."

"Yeah, I met you at our first reaping," Adam said smiling

"See? Good things can come from reapings, too." She said pulling me into a hug.

"Yeah I guess they do," I said holding her close.

"On very rare occasions, they're usually bad though." She said laying her head on my shoulder. "I really should get dressed though."

"Alright you get dressed," I said heading for the kitchen.

I love cooking, it's just fun no matter how you slice it, no pun intended. That's a good thing though since contridictory to the sexist house hold, I have to do all the cooking considering that last time Feliss tried, she blew up WATER. Don't ask how that's possible, I have no idea.

I took out pans and set to work very carefully.

"Why are you being so careful?" The voice in my head asked making me frown, I told him to leave me alone for today. In a perfect world, it would leave me alone forever.

"Hey I heard that!" It said.

Darn, how do I keep forgetting that? Of course it can hear my thoughts.

"Exactly also who are you talking too?" The voice asked.

'Wait, what? Um, you.'

"Oh well okay continue," He said.

I turned my attention back to making breakfast. "You still haven't answered my question." The voice reminded annoyingly.

"Which one?" I asked

"Why are you being so careful?"

"Oh, well I am making breakfast," Adam said.

The voice went silent as Feliss bound into the kitchen in her reaping attire, barefoot as she will forever remain.

"Hungry?" I asked

"Yeah, whatcha got?" Feliss asked.

"Perfect you make the best pancakes." She said smiling, a rare sight on reaping day for anyone. "Then again, you make the best everything."

"No, I don't," I said feeling a blush coming.

"Yes, you do." She argued hugging me from behind.

"Well, thank you," I said awkwardly. I was never one for compliments.

"Adam, you REALLY need to get better at accepting compliments. I never say anything that isn't true."

"I know, I can't though," I shrugged

She turned me around to face her, "True, you wouldn't be you if you did and I can't have you not being you."

"I don't really know how to respond to that," I Said smiling at her.

"Just promise you'll always be you. I could never live without you."

"I will always be me, I could never live without you either," I said and it was true I had no idea what I would do without her.

Feliss nodded running her hands through my hair, "I told you on the day we wed, I'm gonna love you till I'm dead."

"I loved you then and I love you even more now," I said.

"I know." Feliss said laying her head against my chest. "Which is why we absolutely can't be reaped together."

"I know," I said holding her close to me.

I heard her sigh lightly, "Let's just eat, okay?"

"Okay," I said pulling out a chair for her.

She sat down she was still smiling but it was very weak. "Thank you, Honey."

"IT was my pleasure, Dear," I said handing her pancakes.

As she took it, I tried to convince myself that the voice was wrong this time.

"So, nervous?" She asked

I sighed getting my own plate. "Of course, everyone is."

"Except for childless adults," She said

"True, and Capitolites," I added. "but we are neither both of our names are in those bowls."

"Seven times this year,"She sighed

"Well, at least we never had to take out any tesserae." She added trying to find a bright side, she's always been good at that.

"Yeah imagine how bad that must be," He said

"Yeah, I heard of someone that by the time they were eighteen, there name was in the bowl sixty-eight times." She pointed out looking down.

"Poor them," I sighed I really hated this whole system, but what could I do?

"Well… it's a good think that's not us though." She said sadly.

"Or Isabella," I said thinking of my sister.

"Yeah, it her last year in the bowl, too." She said worriedly as she finished her food. Isabella and I are obviously twins so what she said is true.

"I know and I am very grateful for that," I said

"Well, we still have plenty of time before we have to head to the reaping." She observed looking outside, the sun was just barely rising for the forever dreaded day.

"Yeah, so what do we do?" I asked really lost for ideas.

She looked down looking lost as well. "I was hoping you had any ideas."

"Not that we could do this morning," I said

She sighed, "You're right, the only thing we can do on reaping morning is worry… just like every year."

"It gets worse each year," I sighed.

"At least next year we'll fit into the 'childless adults' category until twelve years after we finally have our own children." Feliss reminded to, we do plan on having kids actually, we've been trying for months but haven't had any luck so far. We know they would go right into the bowl like everyone else's but it was a high risk that we both agreed we were willing to take.

"I know and that will be a welcome relief." I said

"I'm sure it is for everyone." She said with a small smile. "We just need to make it one more year."

"Yeah one more year," I said smiling slightly

She sauntered over sitting down on my lap.

"Then we can focus on kids," She whispered smiling.

I smiled genuinely as I pulled her up closer, not just looking forward to the sex but simply the idea of being a father. "I definately look forward to it."

"I am too," She said

"You know, I would be perfectly happy just staying like this until we have to go to the reaping, would you?" I asked running my hands though her medium brown hair.

"I would love to," She said laying her head on my shoulder

And we did stay just like that for hours. Luckily, we kept track of time well enough to not get ourselves shot.

"We should go," I said after a while.

Feliss nodded looking disappointed at that fact as she offered me a hand. "Yeah, we need to."

"Stay with me," I said walking to the door and out into the street.

"I will as long as I can." She said but we both obviously knew that they'll separate us soon.

"Good," I sighed relieved.

She moved in so she was right up next to me as we walked.

We came into the town square.

'I'll find you after the reaping.' I mouthed a promise to my wife as they seperated boys from girls.

She nodded looking nervous.

Once we seperated into age groups, the escort Robyn stepped up to the stage tapping the microphone, she had bright blue hair spiked into a star around her head and her dress or whatever you'd call it was the same color and wrapped around her body like a snake, her skin was also a strong orange from freaky Capitol skin dye. "Hello, happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor."

"We don't want the odds to include us at all," I muttered

"I know, I know, so exciting." Robyn said in naïveté and the broken speach of a Capitolite. "Now, we have a very special treat for you guys, all the way from the Capitol."

"Oh what fresh hell is this?" I thought

"It's just the movie," I sighed.

She turned as the screen showed the same annoying movie they show EVERY year. I completely tuned it out looking over towards the eighteen-year-old girl's section for my wife and sister.

I found them standing side by side and looking as nervous and bored as I was. We'll be ok, there's hundreds of names they could draw, most of which are repeated a number of times. The three of us will make it out unreaped just like all the previous years. Right? Please tell me I'm right.

"Okay you're right," Said the voice in my head.

'Really?' I mentally asked it, it was a relief to have my voice actually agree with me.

'Yeah really," He said.

I let out a physical sigh of relief, if we both agree on something, then it must be right. "Now, to pick the yound girl and boy who will have the honor of representing District 3 in our 74th Annual Hunger Games." Robyn said snapping me out of my mental conversation. Shit, does that sound crazy or what? "As always, ladies first." She walked up to the female's bowl and pulled out a name. Not Feliss or Isabella. Not Feliss or Isabella. Anyone but Feliss or Isabella.

Review and you have premission to flame. I'm immune.
