A/N: I'm back! These chapters are coming kind of slow. Could be because I'm also working on my next story, and Stranded, with Katnisspriorfangirl. Who knows? Anyways, I read the Martian, which is really good. There's lots of swears though….hmm….whatever. Anywho...

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 5:

Percy's POV

The next morning, I took a shower. The water was controlled by all these buttons that were labeled, but I couldn't read them. Instead, I cheated. I started pushing random buttons then cooled and warmed the water myself. Afterwards, I found my way into the dining room where Bea was sitting at the table eating pancakes and fruit. I sat down next to her and grabbed my own helping of pancakes. Right as I was about to shove a heaping pile of pancakes in my mouth, our mentor, Quinn, walked in the room.

"Good morning," he said. I nodded and continued eating. "Today, you guy's will begin training. Make friends. Best advice would be to learn self defense and what's poisonous and what's not. Training starts in a half hour. You'll find training clothes in your rooms. I suggest you hurry up." Jeez, he was cold. I finished my breakfast and went to get changed. I found a silvery shirt with a pair of shorts. The shirt had a four in the corner and seemed very light. I pulled it on, along with the shorts and went to meet Bea. We got in the elevator and I waited for her to push the right button. I, personally, had no idea what button to press. Bea hesitated then pushed the button on the bottom. The elevator started going down, and when it stopped, we got out. The door in front of us opened, and we walked through into a large training room. The other tributes had already arrived.

"What should we work on first?" Bea asked. Just then a certain blonde came running up to me and judo flipped me. Again. Ow. Annabeth pulled me up and gave me a hug.

"Percy! I need to tell you something!" Bea looked at me, then Annabeth, then me again.

"You two know each other?"

"Oh...Uh...Yeah. We do."

"You're Bea?" she asked. Bea nodded. "Hey, I'm Annabeth, Percy's girlfriend." Bea raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything. "Percy, I need you to teach someone to swim."

"Why me?" I asked.

"Well, think about it, Seaweed Brain." I did. Oh. Right.

"Okay," I said slowly. Annabeth dragged me over to a skinny looking boy about my age.

"Percy, this is Digit, he want to learn to swim." I waved. She dragged us into a locker room. "Get changed. There should be swim suits in the lockers." She left without another word. How hard can teaching one kid to swim be? I thought, and walked into the pool, with Digit in tow.

Hazel's POV

I stood, sword in hand and faced Piper, who had a medium sized dagger. She came at me, swiping at me and I dodged her attack. I took a swing at her and she jumped out of the way. We circled each other until I managed to disarm Piper by using the flat of my sword to block her arm and grabbed the dagger out of her hand with my left hand. I tripped her, and she fell, and I pointed my sword at her chest. I lowered my sword and helped her up.

"Nice job," I told her.

"You too."

"Hazel, come here for a sec!" I saw Frank out of the corner of my eye, staring at a booklet on a table. I waved at Piper and jogged across the room to join him.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"I'm having trouble teaching myself these plants. Could you quiz me?" he asked. I nodded and sat down across from him. I started flipping through the pages, covering the information, while Frank told me about the plant. Occasionally I would correct him, but he was mostly accurate. After Frank was done, I decided that I should learn the plants too, so I asked him to quiz me.

Once we were done, I decided to go back to weapons training. I did that for a while, then went to learn how to make a fire. I was joined by Leo, who was cheating, by using his powers. Leo was going on about a show that he watched as a kid, where people could manipulate the elements, and how it reminded him of us. I told him I had no idea what he was talking about, so he dropped it. By the time I finally got a flame going it was time for dinner, so we all headed to our floors. I decided that I would talk more to the others later.

Jason's POV

"Jason!" I heard a familiar voice call.

"What is it Annabeth?" I asked.

"I need to talk to you and the others. I had a strange dream." I looked at her.

"I think you might need to be a little more specific. Define strange," I told her.

"Creepy voice, eluding to why we're stuck here strange."

"Okay, I'll go find everyone," I said, but just then, we were told to go back to our floors for dinner.

"I'll talk to you guys tomorrow!" Annabeth said as she was leaving. I followed everyone into the hallway and got in one of the elevators and pressed 5. I made my way into the dining room, where Vina, the female tribute was waiting. I sat down and quietly served myself. While I was eating, I thought about what Annabeth's dream could have been about.

A/N: I realized that I've stopped doing line breaks. If you want me to do line breaks I can, but I won't unless requested. This chapter is short, but I had a hard time deciding on what to write. *cough* writer's block *cough*. I put a reference in there, it's kind of obvious, but still. Anyways, please review!
