Caesar Flickerman

I sat on the red velvet chair with my legs crossed. I slicked back my power blue hair and gave a plastic smile to the audience/camera. I was truly nervous about this new show I had created.

A million of thoughts raced in my mind.

What if it doesn't work?

What if my contestants sue me?

What if my show is forced to close down?

Finally I erased these thoughts from my mind and my eyes bored into the audience.

"Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen. Welcome to The Bachelor!" I grinned.

The audience were cheering. Just like every year, their annoying high-pitched sounds hurt my ears. And the lights were way too bright. I have to get someone to fix that.

"This show is all about love. To find the perfect sense of romance in the world. And this contestant is Finnick Odair!"

The tall and handsome stud strutted over to my direction and he took a seat.

"Hello, Caesar. It's great to meet you. And the Capitol of course!" He made a sexy-looking smiled and his gazed upon the audience.

"So... I hear your looking for love. Meeting twenty-four gorgeous women too. Ready for that?"

"Yes, Caesar. I am ready to meet my Destined-Bride. It's hard looking for the Perfect Woman,"

"and I can't wait to see the twenty-four gorgeous women. It might be all of you guys..." Finnick purred.

The multicolored monsters began cheering once again. I wanted to kill myself right there and then.

"I'm sorry, Capitolians. Only girls from different Districts can play." I said nervously.

The audience begins moaning.

"Well, here's the game. You have to take each girl on dates. There are different kinds of dates. A group date which consists of at least six girls. And a double-date which is two girls. And finally, a Special Romantic One-on-One-Date. But of course there will be the Rose Ceremony. The Bachelor's pool of Bachelorettes will diminish each week. Up to one or two girls will be eliminated. You can only eliminate the girls which you haven't made a special connection yet."

"What happens if they are eliminated?" He asked.

"Then they are sent back home."

"And how do I keep my favorite Bachelorettes while the game goes on?" Finnick continued.

"Easy. You give your Special Girls a Red Rose which keeps them in the game." I smiled with mischief.

District 12: Coal

Prim's sobs was annoying, especially four o' clock in the morning!

I continued to roast Buttercup's body on the fire-spit. It smelled delicious. Normally, I'm not a cruel person, but we were running out of food and money here. This was the only thing left to do. Roast Buttercup over the fire.

On the brighter side, I made Prim some fur-gloves made out of Buttercup's fur. After realizing what I had just done, she threw the gloves back at my face. How ungrateful! Millions of kids here in District Twelve are running out there naked! To me and them, these pieces of cloth are luxury. I could probably sell them at the Hob for thirty bucks.

I sniffed.

Something was burning.

I looked down to see Buttercup's body which was blackened. It was no longer a cooked light red.

"KATNISS! ARE YOU DONE YET!" the old witch shouted.

The little old blonde poked her head out of the door.

"C'MON, HURRY! YOU HAVE TO GET READY!"

"For what?" I asked, dropping Buttercup's corpse.

"You know..." she said with a hint of a smile.

"I am not watching The Bachelor with you!" I snapped.

"Oh... Your gonna be in it." Mom retorted.

It takes a while for me to understand. She wants me to go in a show where I have to fight for my own man? NOT!

"Nope!" I said simply.

"Ooh, is it the one with Finnick Odair in it?! I want in!" Prim smiled, barely getting over Buttercup's death.

What?! Prim? Tiny Innocent Prim wanting to become a Bachelorette?

"See? Even your own sister is up for it! Your both going!"

Prim made a tiny fist and punched the air. "YES!"

"Fine! I will do anything to prevent my sister's first breakup!" I declared.

"Good... Everything is according to plan. Even if you guys said 'no', I already signed you in."

I listened intently to my parents as they were praising me. They were all prepping me up for the brand new show. And guess what it is called? The Bachelor! And Finnick Odair is so hot! I want to lick his six-pack abs and other muscly parts of his body...

"Clove, you have a sparkle. Do not let any of the other girls take away your sparkle." Mom said.

"If these girls start getting in your way, you can kill em'." Daddy winked.

"Yeah, Dad. Whatevs. I can totally win." I snorted.

"Clove, remember you will always be my little girl." Mom said, breaking down into tears.

I picked up a sleek black throwing knife from the rack. It had three holes in the middle of the blade which makes it lighter. It also had a leather wrapping around the handle which also had holes. I threw it at a Liam Hemsworth poster which was found in the 2013. The blade seared through the forehead and it stuck to the wall.

That shut my Mom up.

"If this Finny or Nicky guy doesn't treat you like a lady, call me and I will kill him myself."

"First off, Daddy, it's Finnick. He is totally hot. No need to hurt his sexy face." I pouted.

I began playing with my new Samsung Galaxy III which was pretty cool. It had a big screen and I started texting my friends. I got it for my Quinceanera. Well I'm not Mexican, but I get to have these lavish parties when I turn a certain age from different cultures. Next year, I will celebrate my Sweet Sixteen! And Mommy told me I will be able to drink beer! :)
