The Forgotten District [Percy Jackson and Hunger Games Crossover]

The Center

       As soon as all of us were in the stables, they shoved us all into an elevator and sent us straight up to our rooms. I'll be honest, the whole ride I couldn't take my eyes off of District 12. Their costumes were just..... wow. I would say that I wanted their stylists, but I have a feeling the gods would not be too happy about it. After the first few tributes got off, Leo realized that I was staring at 12. "They aren't THAT impressive." he whispered at me. "The little wimps don't know how to play with REAL fire." He lit his index finger with a tiny flame. "I think you may want to put that away." I stifled a giggle. "You may set your pretty cape on fire." "Do you think?" he asked. I laughed.

        Pretty soon, the only people left on the elevator were us and 12. The silence that stood between us was borderline unhealthy. "You look amazing!" I told them, trying to make things less awkward. "Your stylists must be really creative to think of that." They just looked at me. The elevator stopped on their floor, and they stepped out. "Well!" I exclaimed. Leo collapsed on the floor, laughing like a freakin' hyena. "Zeus, that was the best you could come up with?!" he was able to say through his fits of laughter. "Hey, I didn't hear YOU coming up with anything, pretty boy." "Whatever." was all he was able to get out.

        The elevator doors slid open, revealing Zeedee and Hedge, waiting for us. "You looked GORGEOUS!" Zeedee gushed. "After that performance, I wouldn't be surprised if all of PANEM wanted to sponsor you two." Hedge looked Leo up and down as he stopped laughing. He said "You look like a girl." and took a huge bite out of a corn can. "Yeah yeah yeah," Leo said. "Now, where do I get rid of this?" He gestured his make-up. "I don't think you can get rid of your face." I joked. He just rolled his eyes. "Come on, pretty boy." Hedge muttered. I know, right? He grabbed Leo's arm and dragged him to a random room in the hallway. "Should we wait for them?" I asked her. "We should. It would be rude to start without them." she told me (Shocker). After a few minutes, she gave up on the recap and just took me to my room.

        "Don't be up too late now." she told me. I smiled politely and waited for her to leave the room. When the door slammed behind her, I fell onto the bed and kicked off those monster heels. I basically laid limp on the bed for 5 minutes before finally deciding that I should change. I rummaged through my clothes and pulled out this (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=120440268). I figured I wasn't going to wake up early enough to get ready then, so I was just going to change now and sleep in. Maybe Aphrodite was supposed to plan my outfit for tomorrow, but considering she hasn't shown her face since she disappeared, I wanted to keep it safe. I hopped under the covers and as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out cold.

        The next morning, I woke up to a face full of ice cold water. It may seem unpleasant for mortals, but for me, that's like 3 espressos and a Monster chugged at the same time. I sat up with a sudden jolt of energy. Hedge was standing next to my bed, just munching away on a metal bucket. "I'm not sure if I should hug you, strangle you, or both." "Good morning to you too, cupcake." He look down at my feet. "Why the shoes?" I gave him a look. "Really? I'm wearing a freakin' necklace to bed and you ask 'Why the shoes'?" "Whatever. Get up, you got training." I rolled my eyes. He just trotted out with his little goat tail held high.

        I threw off the covers, literally jumped out of bed, and ran into the dining room. Zeedee, Leo, and Hedge were waiting for me. "Now that everyone is here," Zeedee shot me a look, "We have matters to attend to. Mr. Hedge?"He burped up bits of metal and grass all over the floor. I had to bite my cheek to keep for laughing. She glared at him. He smirked, then said "Ok, so, private training. I can train you alone, or-" "I'll take door number two." I interrupted. He threw me a look before continuing, "Or you could train together. Personally, I would pick the going alone." "Why?" Leo asked. "Because if you have to kill each other, you want the other to know as little as possible, if you know what I'm saying." "No." he said stupidly. I rolled my eyes and said "We'll just train together."
