Katniss Everdeen was crying.

She was crying because she had wanted each person to get a tiny mockingjay as they entered the wedding to her beloved Peeta Mellark, but instead, Effie Trinket, her wedding planner, had messed up and hadn't ordered enough pins.

"Katniss, dear, please, we're only short by about fifty -" Effie was saying as Katniss sobbed into a hankerchief.

"oh my god, effie! FIFTY. We're fifty short! I can't even handle this right now, okay!" she took adeep gasp of air and tried tobreath, "This is going to ruin everything. I thought you were on top of this~!"

she tried to breath again and burst into tears, "Instead the favours are ruined!"

Effie fluttered her hands around and glanced around the room. Prim stepped up and tried to comfort Katniss but she brushed her off.

"Today is ruined!" she wailed.

Today was her wedding day. She had been planning it with Effie and her stylist, Cinna, for months. She had put hear heart and soul tinot this wedding and what was she getting? Failure at every tun.

First off, prim's dress didn't fit right, because prim just HAD TO GO and grow a bunch inbetween the fitting and the wedding. Then the flowers weren't even here yet – don't get her started on that – as well as Cinna was running late because of a stupid accident. God, whatever. Effie was ueless as a wedding planner, running around in six inch purple heels and smothered in makeup. And to top it off, her mother had shown up with a white dress.

"Areoy uou kidding me mother!" she had screamed.

Why was no one getting this right?

"Katniss," effie said gently, "I'll work on the mockingjay pins but we have to get you to hair and makeup, cinna is almost here."

She took a shuddering breath. She could do this. She really could. She would have to get through today and it would have to be perfect or else.

Ci na came in at the last moment, a bluster of energy, ordering his team around. Katniss calmed down once he came in, maybe this would be okay.

"You've been crying." he said.

"Sorry, but today is just so stressful."

"It shouldn't be, if people are doing their jobs."

Effie scowled and stoemed off to deal with the pin debacle.

""chinna the pins aren't right and the flowers aren't right and prim's dress doesn't fit properly and I jut odon't know what to do okay."

"It'll be okay katniss. Let's make you beautiful, okay? Then we'll go from there."

she let out a sigh and wiped her face.

"okay. Just make sure you use the right color tones okay?"

"You're in my hands, Katniss."

she nodded and looked over at prim.

"Prim, for the love of god, go see mom and fix your dress, you look like a baby prostitute."

Prim frowned and left the changing room. Cinna helped Katniss into the makeup chair and started to work on her hair.

This was her wedding day. It had to be perfect.
