A/N: Okay, I'm trying to make the chapters longer like people requested and trying to be a little less OO. With the characters. I, also have a question. Would you guys like a little Madge x Gale in this? Or more cute pairings? I could have a little Perlia later on or Thalico. Whatever. I just say in the reviews.

I packed lightly, only bringing Riptide. If this was a game filled with mortals, I couldn't hurt them. Like Chiron said on my first quest, a hero wouldn't do that unless absolutely necessary. It wouldn't matter anyways, Riptide wouldn't hurt them but it would just appear in my pocket. I met up with Thalia and Nico who didn't have any weapons with them either. Chiron, was now in human mode or what I'd like to call "motorized cafe table mode". This time I listened. "You will travel to the future with Lord Chronos-", "KRONOS!?" Nico and I yelled. Thalia slapped us over the heads. "Not that Kronos Death Breath, Kelp Head." We looked at Chiron confused. "I mean Lord Chronos as in the Primordial God Of Time." "Ohhhhh." Nico and I said in sync. Thalia rolled her eyes. "You know you love us." I said as Nico and I hugged her just to make her mad. She electrocuted us leaving our hair smoking and clothes singed. "Yeah, I'd love for you two to drop dead." Thals retorted. "That's not fair! It's bad enough I'm cousins with him, but smell like road kill too!" I yelled in mock whine. I pouted. "Yeah!" Nico shouted. "Wait.. HEY!" We all burst out laughing. Even Chiron cracked a smile. A large man with golden eyes and who was 20 freaking feet tall appeared. Chiron looked at me. "Close your mouth Percy, you'll catch flies." I narrowed my eyes. He shrunk down and offered us his hands. With a flash of golden light, we fell into a gloomy place surrounded by gloomy looking people and a very scary clownish lady...

I had my wand with me and that was all I needed. Hermione, Ron, and I we're in the Chamber Of Secrets where I still had bad memories. Ron was still angry about this, muttering from time to time about gits. Hermione accepted it and as soon as she did studied some strategies for these Games. Practicing new spells, and studying for what Hermione calls may be an "intellectual challenge of survival". Professor Dumbledore came in again with an old dusty book. Hermione's eyes lit up with excitement. It had a powerful aura ancient as the beginning of time. He blew the dust off, after we finished our coughing fit, opened it to a page. "There is an ancient spell here hasn't been used in centuries. It will transport you to the future." He began chanting in a language I didn't understand. Next, thing I knew I was on the ground with Ron and Hermione next to me. Gloomy people were looking at us in surprise and fear. Well, at least it's a step up from being famous. I honestly didn't care about the fact I had a lightning bolt on my forehead. We dusted ourselves off, and stood up. I smelled nauseous gases, and there were numerous factories with nuclear signs printed on it. Hermione observed everything and made her way to the closest person, a woman who resembled Professor Umbridge. Hermione tapped her on the shoulder. "Excuse me ma'am but-" Ron cut her off. "Where in the bloody blazes are we?!" Hermione glared at him. I chuckled. "Ronald!" Hermione scolded. We turned back to the Umbridge clone. "You're in District 5 of course!" Hermione thanked her and left. "Now all that's left is to enter the Reaping, Dumbledore told us about." How the blazes are we going to do that!?

I shut up as Thalia and Nico started laughing uncontrollably, clutching their
stomachs and rolling over the sand. Wait... Sand? I smelled sea salt. I sensed the ocean very close. Then I realized. I just voiced out my thoughts about the clownish lady. I looked around, at everyone wearing dresses and their shirts tucked in. I guess we looked pretty stupid with parkas, orange t-shirts, and aviator jackets. There was a buff looking guy, with bronze hair and emerald green eyes. He looked like a god. Thunder rumbled. Seriously!? Here too?! I stood up while my cousins were still rolling around the floor, looking like they were just released from a mental hospital. This wasn't going to go well. Me, being the smart, intelligent 17 year old I am asked, "Where are we and do you have food?" Don't judge me. I was hungry, alright. Being a demigod is very hard work. A woman with blue curls came up to us. Great. The clown lady. "You are in District 4. Fishing." She said with a sneer. Jeez. Thalia and Nico groaned. "It just had to be fishing." Nico grumbled. "I would've been fine going to Textiles, wearing pink but no we had to go here." Thalia murmured. "Imbeciles! Complete idiotic trash!" The clown lady threw her hands up in the air and for a few moments stared into space, then glared at us menacingly. "I'll have Peacekeepers lock you up in a asylum for years!" She cackled. "Woah, wait a second Sierra. They didn't do anything." The buff guy came down, girls swooning around him. "There's gotta be another way." He smiled at her. Smooth. Using charm to make her see sense. Everyone stared at me again. I looked at Thalia and Nico asking if I accidentally said it out loud again. They mouthed, "Yup." Sierra didn't seem to notice at all. "Well, there is one way." She smiled sweetly. She turned towards us. "You three. What are your names?" We told her. She strutted up the stage again, putting on a dazzling smile. "Here are our District 4 tributes, Thalia Grace and Percy Jackson. With a special addition, Nico Di Angelo!" The buff guy looked at us with wide eyes. So that's what she meant. Well, we were going to enter anyway.

I watched Hermione tap her chin thoughtfully. "I got it! We could use a Manipulation or Illusion Spell to trick them into thinking we're tributes!" Ron stared at the people talking about the 'Reaping'. "Or we could just volunteer." He said. We stared at him. When did he get so smart? Hermione quickly recovered from shock. "I suppose we could just do that." We stood around the square with all the people. A man with neon green corkscrew curls came up to the stage. "Welcome. Lets just get this over with." He strut over to a glass bowl to his right and pulled out a slip of paper. "Our female tribute is Pandora Scarlett." As soon as a fox-faced girl came up, Hermione stepped away from the crowd and announced, "I volunteer!" Se went up the stage, with the corkscrew curls man beckoning her forward lazily. Pandora went back to her place in the square. "Our male tribute is Jaymes Obsydian." I did the same as Hermione, and before I knew it I was on the stage. "There's been a rule change. 3 tributes now." Ron didn't even step forward yet, before the man said, "I believe you want to join your friends?" Ron nodded. "Our tributes for District 5...them." He motioned towards us. Glad that's over.
KATNISS
I remained quiet, the whole ride to the train as Effie kept talking and talking. Gale was stone cold, and Peeta kept fidgeting. This was not the best situation. Gale was turning red from anger as Effie complained about our coal mining production. Who knows how hard this thing is going to be for him before he loses it and shoots an arrow at someone's head. I should've listened to him while I had the chance, but what would happen to Prim? I must've been quiet for a long time because when I turned Peeta, Gale, and Effie were looking at me questioningly. "What?" "Effie was just asking if you were excited to see the Capitol." Peeta said. I scowled. "Yeah, sure." I turned back towards the window. I really didn't care. We soon got to the train, as went straight to my room where Effie directed me. I laid on my bed, deep in thought. Was this really what it had come to? Fighting to my death to the point where I might have to kill my best friend? There was a knock on my door. "Go away!" I groaned. "Katniss, get up. Effie said we have to watch the Reapings." I dragged myself out of bed and opened the door. Gale was there and chuckling at my bed head and my grumpy attitude. I glared at him. "Damn you Gale." I followed him outside to where Peeta, Effie, and my drunken mentor Haymitch was. I plopped down on the couch next to Gale watching the TV. The district Reapings were kind of boring but a few people really stuck in my head. A beautiful dangerous looking girl from 1, a deadly duo from 2, a burly boy from 11, and a petite 12 year old, most of them had scrawny third tributes. District 4 and District 5, however stuck in my head immensely. For District 4, three dangerous looking kids that looked like they resembled the power of a god caused a huge disruption and eventually were chosen by just giving their name. For District 5, there were three kids that volunteered they looked skinny and not a threat but their fierce looks gave any weakling comments I had about them. This was going to be one interesting Games.
