What if I met Katniss and Peeta?
I knock on the wood door. Wait for a minute, and then knock again. Finally a boy with blonde hair in his 20's greeted me by opening the door.
"Can I help you?" He says, mystified.
"I just wanted to say hi. My name is Skye." I put out my hand for him to shake. He diligently shakes it. After a few moments of silence I ask if I can come in, surprisingly, he does let me in.
"Make yourself at home." He says to me while I look around the house. It has a kitchen, a living space and Katniss, who is sitting on one of the couches. She gives me a weird look and then asks Peeta, "Who is she?" "I am here to meet you, from a long time ago." Katniss and Peeta exchange weird looks while I stand, looking proud.
"I'll tell you a bit about myself, some tea please?" I invite myself to sit on one of the couches and ask for tea. "It's soft and bouncy!" I bop up and down while sitting on the fleece couch with neutral colors. Everyone is in silence, we're not friends; yet.
Peeta takes the tea over to the table and I instantly flock to it, Katniss follows behind.
"So, tell us about yourself Skye?" Peeta softly says. "Well I come from a long time ago, when this place was called North America." They both raise their eyebrows. "But that's impossible; you'd be dead by now." I shook my finger at them, "You don't get it, well I'm an avid fan and I decided to meet you by writing myself into your world, isn't that great?" they both look skeptical. "That's not physically possible." Peeta states. "But it is, really! I'm here now, see?" Katniss puts her hand to her temple and looks in deep thought.
"Okay I give up. It's impossible, but almost not entirely. Forget about it, just tell us about yourself." I nod and think of something to say. "If I lived in Panem I would live in The Capitol, believe that?" "You wouldn't want to live there." Peeta said frankly. I shrugged, "I think I would rather live in the past then the future. Because clearly you people have no imagination." I feel the air tense up.
"What was it like, a long time ago?" Katniss asks, "Well the leaders were nicer. Most of America had food to eat all the time and-" I try to finish but Katniss cuts me off. "You weren't ever hungry?" She asked, flabbergasted, not believing that nobody ever starved.
"Of course! If you had a little money you could go buy a chocolate bar from Target or something. If you had no money then you could ask the government for some. Or try shoplifting but that's a bad idea." "Did people get whipped like now?" Peeta asked. "That would probably be illegal. Worst that could happen is you get thrown in jail. Normally you just get a fine of some sort." Katniss and Peeta were in awe. I looked at my watch. It was getting close to dinner time.
"Well I should be getting off. I'm having Red Lobster tonight, crab legs, I love them more then you could imagine. I'll come back sometime okay?" I stood up and gave them a quick wave goodbye.
"Wait, wait, can you take us with you?" They asked. I looked stunned. "I really wish I could but that's not possible. I wish, it would be dreams come true." Their faces looked rueful. "Well at least come back sometime." Katniss coldly said. I nodded and stepped out the door, and then vanished from Panem, and back to my room.
