Sorry for the late update! I wrote a chapter, hated it and trashed it. Then, I started talking to my sister (Sadie Mockingjay Potter Ride!) and this idea just kinda popped into her mind! So I, uh, 'borrowed' it! XD (Well the premiere idea was hers- and Sadie having a dream- but the rest was mine!)

Hope you enjoy it and review! :D (Almost to a total of 50 :D Woohoo!)

Anubis-

2. How did you meet Nico

Anubis: Funny story, actually. I was back in New Orleans and this pale kid runs in screaming about a chimera. I blasted the thing to dust for him and he just started talking to me. I haven't heard from him in a while though...

Hullo again! What, you thought I'd let Anubis ramble on forever? Well thankfully, no. [Oh shut it,Jackal Head.]

So I bet you're all wondering, What is Sadie going to tell us about? What cute and entertaining story does she want us to hear? Well let me tell you.

We all have those dreams. The crazy ones where the people you love are there and a ton of crazy things happen to you and them? Yeah, this is one of them. But I didn't know it was a dream so just imagine you don't know either, Kay? Okay then let's begin.

When I 'woke up' I found myself in an unfamiliar city with Carter by my side. He looked just as confused as I did. He looked around and seemed to figure out where we were. "Well?" I asked, annoyed he wasn't sharing information.

"What?" He asked. "I have to run, date with Zia! And don't be late to the premiere."

He dashed off with his kopesh hanging from his side and me calling after him, "What premiere? What are you talking about? Where are we?"

I shouted until he was just a speck in the distance, but he never answered. So, feeling annoyed and grumpy, I plopped down on the nearest bench and sulked. The questions floated around in my mind, just as annoying as my brother. [What? Anubis! Why'd you let Carter in here? Get out, brother.]

Okay, know that thats settled back to my story.

In the midst of sulking an idea floated into my mind. I reached for my bag with my Carmel colored hair dropping past my head and pulled out -duh duh dunnn- Doughboy! The shabati was still in my bag, thank god. [Yeah, not you, Anubis.] Anyway, I took the little clay man out of the bag and stared at him. I must've looked mental- teenage girl staring at an inanimate man made out of clay crazy. I picked him up by his, uh, legs (he doesn't have feet) and shook him. "Wake up!"

Immediately he came to life with a familiar and snarky voice. "I answer the call."

Unlike my first encounter with Doughboy I saw this coming. So he didn't get to taste the bench. "Hullo again."

He frowned. "Oh, its you."

"No need to be excited," I snorted. "Anyway I have a question for you. Where are we?"

The little guy looked around for a moment before answering. "Los Angeles."

Huh? How did I get to Los Angeles? I was seriously confused, but no matter. I was Sadie Kane and I was going to find some answers.

Now, I know what you're thinking. Sadie, you've just been dumped in some random city where your brother ditched you! And what about the premiere? You should stay put and wait for help or something!

Yeah, right. You do know who I am, don't you? Besides, I sorta knew this city. I lived here until I was six, didn't I? Exactly. But first I needed to talk to my shabati a bit more.

"Ohhhkay. What part of Los Angeles?" I asked.

"I do not understand the question," said Doughboy. Great.

"What part of the town are we in?" He still looked confused, so I explained further. "Downtown, ect?"

"Oh, that's easy!" Doughboy chirped. "We're in the busiest part of town. If I am correct, which I always am-"

"Someone's full of them self," I muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing," I sweetly said. "Please go on."

"As I was saying, I believe there's a movie premiere here in about half an hour. The Hunger Games, I believe."

I shot off the bench. "That's what Carter meant!"

"Excuse me?" Poor confused Doughboy said.

"Carter said to not be late to some premiere." I rolled my eyes. Shabati are so clueless sometimes. I guess life as a statue has its downsides. Always being told what to do, what to say. It must be exhausting. "Do you think that's what he meant?"

"Well I would assume so." He was getting a bit friendlier around me, if you hadn't noticed. Well, he'd at least work until I told him not to. If that counts for anything.

"So, why do you think I have to go to the Hunger Games premiere?"

"Well," he scratched his chin. "I would say its either because you star in it? Or maybe it's a trap, Miss Paranoid."

What the heck? Since when was I a movie star? Sure, I love the Hunger Games, but I think I'd remember if I was a cast member! "What!?"

"You are so clueless sometimes," it was Doughboy's turn to roll his eyes. "Remember? You just spent three months filming it."

WHAT THE HECK WAS HE TALKING ABOUT?! I certainly didn't have a clue. But being me, I had to look like I knew; I do have a reputation to keep here. So I played along. "Oh right! Sorry, amnesia mo. Anyway, I can't wait to see how it turned out! I bet I did awesome as my part of...?" I left the final sentence like a question for my shabati to answer.

"Prim, duh. And my service is done!" And with that, he turned into a plain old statue and left me sitting alone looking like I was talking to a park bench. Splendid. I still couldn't believe what I was hearing. I'd starred in a movie? It was all complete rubbish; there must've been a mistake. I was no movie star. So why was everyone convinced I was?

Well, I was determined to find out. So I ran to the nearest dress shop and bought a pretty black, strapless dress that barely reached my knees. It had a red belt just below the chest area. It was fairly nice, and I needed something to wear to the premiere didn't I? The funny part is that the clerk said the dress was already made just for me. And I thought this could get no weirder.

Once I left the shop I started to wonder about a few things:

1. Where was Anubis? (Yes, I know, really got my priorities straight.) [Yes you were the first thing on the list, Anubis! Try not to let your head get any bigger, kay?]

2. What were the trainees up to? If I was in L.A. where were my students. (Ugh, that sounds so odd!)

3. What exactly had happened the last few months that I didn't remember?

Sad outlook on my life; Anubis was the one I was most worried about. What of we'd broke up and I couldn't remember it? I pushed that thought out of my mind with a I'll-ask-Carter-later thought as I charted a cabbie to take me to the premiere. I'd managed to get the address from the dress store clerk, which was helpful.

Anyways, the ride was short and I paid with the money I found in my bag. I still couldn't believe what was happening and things only got crazier when I looked at the theatre. It was huge, five stories tall, and really wide with bright pink paint! Holy -uh, cow. Insert awkward cough here. But I managed to keep a calm look on my face because people were standing all around shouting for some random people. I didn't recognize the names even though I knew the cast members of the Hunger Games. Then again, from what I remembered, my name shouldn't have been screamed along with the rest.

I was starting to feel the urge to scream from confusion and annoyance when a familiar hand slipped itself into mine. My heart beat went from ugh this is annoying to fifty meter dash. Anubis. [Quit flattering yourself, it was a dream!]

"Hey," he said. Before I could respond he pulled me into a hug and whispered in my ear, "listen, I know I shouldn't even be here, but I wanted to let you know. Because you're frustrated and annoyed with this. This is a dream, sweetheart."

I didn't know which was better: the fact that none of this was real or that he'd called me sweetheart. [THATS IT! GET OUT OF THE ROOM, NOW!] So I was dreaming... And could do whatever I wanted.

An evil and completely corrupted smile came onto my face. I could do whatever I wanted! How cool was this going to be! And, as a plus, Anubis was here. [Thank god he isn't here to hear that. (I sent him to sulk in the hallway)]

Well, what did I do first you ask? I did the obvious thing if you know me well enough. I grabbed Anubis's hand and dragged him away from the crowd. Even if this was not the real city,it was still Los Angeles. And I wanted to see a certain place.

Anubis ran along my side as we ran away from the confused fans. "Where are we going?"

"I want to see my house," I shouted to him- the wind was louder than my normal voice.

"Oh," he nodded. Not easy to do while dashing. "I see. Hang on." Anubis stopped abruptly and pulled me to a stop. I was confused, but he quickly opened a portal and I understood. I should've thought of that, really. I jumped through the wall of sand.

The second the sand cleared I gasped. It looked just like I remembered. The blue walls and wooden floors. A table of wood sat in the middle of a dining room to my left and a leather couch in the living room I was in. A small tv against a wall, even though it was hardly ever used. My mom always thought television was a waste of time. The only thing out of place was the god at my side. He was studying me with his gorgeous chocolate brown eyes. His hand was still intertwined with mine.

A pang hit me in the chest as I realized how much here, in my old home, it looked like nothing had changed, yet everything had. I was no longer happy, carefree little girl, but a snake killing, god dating, magician.

I will not cry, I will not cry, I chanted in my mind. Over and over as I felt my eyes start to sting and water. No, I didn't want to cry; especially in front of Anubis. I didn't want to embarrass myself.

"I like this place," Anubis smiled at me. "It's nice. It looks so much like your dad's home in the underworld."

"Yeah," I sniffed. "He told me he based it off here."

And with that I pulled Anubis into a hug as tears fell down my face. He wrapped his arms around me. "Hey, it's okay."

"No it's not!" I sobbed. I couldn't help it. I'd been through a lot and for once, I just couldn't hold everything in. Thank god none of this was real. Of course, I still remember and so does Anubis.

"Yes, it is," he urged. "Whatever may have gone wrong in the past can only get better in the future. You've got your brother, and parents. And you've got me, for whatever that's worth."

"I love you," I said. I'd never said that before, I realize now. Not to someone I'm not related to, anyways. It felt good and I meant it.

"I love you too."

Before I could respond I woke up in my bed at Brooklyn house. A smile crossed my lips as I remembered the dream.

So, what'd you think?:D

I hope you enjoyed it and REVIEW?:3

I'll give you a, uh, um... Virtual hug! -(^-^)-
