Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games or Percy Jackson.


Is it possible that Percy and Annabeth can get people to like them?

The train ride was torture, not quite hell (For I have been there and back and nothing can compare to that horror show), but definately torture.

Right now, Percy and I are sitting together, waiting for our stylist to return. He had left a few minutes ago and had not returned yet.

I look over to see Percy staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I ask.

He takes my hand an gives it a squeeze, "Because you're beautiful." (See what I did there?)

I smile and squeeze his hand back.

Tali comes running back in, grinning, "I have the perfect outfits for you!"

The two women, Ginger and Hatty I think, rush through the doors behind our stylist and hold up two outfits that make me want to puke.

The one Ginger holds is obviously for me. It is a very long dress, and this immediately repulses me. The skirt is made from fishing nets, draped with seaweed, starfish and shells. It has puffy sleeves and a large crab imprinted on the front.

Now I look at Percy's outfit and try hard not to laugh. I snort anyway.

It is basically just boxers that have fish on them. Of course there is a little netting and shells, but that just makes the outfit even more hilarious.

I smile widely, but hide it by looking at the floor.

"No." Percy says.

"I'm sorry, but your stylist has picked out these clothes for you to wear so-" I cut Hatty off.

"What about something Greek?"

"How do you know about the Greeks? They don't teach that at school," Tali narrows his eyes.

I shrug, "I have always had a great interest in the Greeks and Romans, even if they don't teach it at school."

Percy nods, "Yeah, I like Poseidon."

Ginger smiles at us, "You would, being from district 4," She leans over to Tali and says, "Maye we should put them in something Poseidon-y."

Tali nods, "We shall."

They walk out, taking the hideous outfits with them.

Percy kisses my cheek, "Quick thinking, Wise Girl."

"I'm the daughter of Athena, Seaweed Brain, what did you expect?"

"It's been a strange day, Annabeth. We're in the Hunger Games. And to add to the weirdness, you were snorting like a pig. I really don't know what to expect next," He laughs.

I punch his shoulder, "Shut up!"

Tali returns with two gorgeous outfits, "These will do, now lets get you ready!"

Now I am dressed I am wearing a Peplos, something that my mother would wear. It is a long, tubular cloth that ended at the ankle. The garment is gathered about the waist. On my feet are brown, Greek sandals.

My hair is tied up in it usual ponytail, and my lips are a delicate shade of pink. My eyelids are smothered in blue eye shadow, my nails painted the same colour. My camp beads hang at my neck, at least I have something to remind me of home.

I never wear makeup. Ever. But this is a one off, I can let it slip.

I walk out the room to see Percy waiting for me, he smiles when he sees me and I can't help but smile back.

"You look amazing," He compliments me.

"Same to you," For he does.

He is wearing a white toga that shows off half of his muscular chest and sandals like mine. In his hand is a blue trident, and it just looks so... Right. The way he holds it makes him look so godly.

Around his neck are the beads from camp, and, as usual, his eyes sparkle in the sunlight.

"I know, Annabeth, I'm fabulous!" He chuckles and intertwines our fingers together, "Now lets go get us some sponsors!"

We walk to the bottom level of the building that we are in and look around.

The place is filled with horses and carriages. Beside me, Percy grins.

"Horses, at least I'll have friends."

"What about me?" I laugh.

"You're my girlfriend, Annabeth," He puts his face right in front of mine so our noses touch, "That's different."

He kisses me and tingles go up my spine.

"Look, if you don't want to talk then we'll come back later," I break away from Percy and see Katniss standing next to us.

"Hmm?" Percy turns, also sees Katniss, and nearly falls over.

I grab his wrist to stop him from landing on the floor and dirtying his toga.

"K-Katniss. We didn't see you there," He stutters, face red.

"Yeah, because you had your faces smushed together," She states.

"Never seen people kiss before?" I'm getting angry with her now.

"Not like you two do," She sniffs, "Tongues aren't needed."

At this, Percy really does fall over, coughing and laughing at the same time.

I glare at him, "Get up," I hiss.

He hauls himself up, still laughing, and looks at Katniss, "It's what you do when you love someone."

"Yes, but when you use your tongue its just disgusting."

"You'll do it one day," I point out.

"Not likely, I don't love anyone but my sister."

"The one you volunteered for?" Percy asks.

"Yeah, Prim," A look of sadness crosses her face, "I need to get back to her."

Percy walks up to her and puts his hands on her shoulders, "We promise to help you out with that."

"What?" Katniss backs up and shoots a look at the boy from her district, Peeta.

He comes jogging over, "What's wrong?"

"They want to help me," Katniss replies.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Peeta looks at Percy and I.

"They're in love," Katniss says it like it was a massive flaw in a plan that they had, probably was.

"Oh..." Peeta sighs.

"Look, if you have a problem with the fact that I love my girlfriend then get out!" Percy balls his fists.

"You can't be in love, it'll just make losing each other harder. As well as surviving. And winning!" Peeta says.

"We are in love. We're not going to lose each other. Surviving together is easier then on our own. And we don't intend to win," Percy glares at the two, who promptly back off.

"Okay! Sorry, I'm sorry!" Peeta puts his hands up in surrender.

"Good," I mumble.

"So," Katniss smiles, but I can tell that she is putting it on, "Allies?"

Percy smiles, no longer angry, "Allies." He confirms.

"Great!" Peeta says, just as loud music begins to play, "We should go, see you tomorrow!"

Percy waves and I smile.

Then we hurry to our carriage and hop on board just as it pulls forward.

We ride out into the crowd lined streets, and there are people everywhere. The noise is head-achingly loud.

The crowd suddenly erupts into a great cheer, and I look up to see Katniss and Peeta on a screen above us. They are on fire.

I laugh at this, they really are amazing.

"Annabeth," Percy whispers out the side of his mouth, "Do something."

I realise that I had been standing still for a long time while Percy grinned mischievously at the crowd, blew kisses and winked sexily.

And idea popped into my head, "Oh I'll do something," I whisper back.

Now I grab the front of his toga and pull him to me. Our lips collide and I melt into him. I can tell that he is surprised at first, but soon he is kissing me back.

He wraps his strong arms around me and holds me there while the crowd cheers for us. But I block out the noise and breathe in Percy's smell. The ocean. I imagine that we are back in Camp Half-Blood, on the beach.

I am jerked back to reality when Percy pulls away, grabs my hand and cups my cheek.

"I love you," He whispers, but most people hear it due to the cursed speakers.

The crowd 'Aww' at us in unison, and I feel my cheeks heat up. I'm not actually blushing, am I? Oh gods, I am.

He smirks, before stepping back and catching a red rose that was flying through the air.

"I love you so much," He hands me the rose, and I hold it carefully.

"I love you too," I tell him.

I look into his eyes and realise that he isn't just saying this to please the crowd, he really does love me.

I knew that of course, but even so, it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
