Disclaimer: I do not own the Hunger Games Trilogy
Okay, this is just an idea of mine. I've been writing weird parodies lately and this is one of them. The characters are pretty OOC. Anyways...
All morning the four of them has been replaying videos of the previous games to gain more information, survival tips and strategies for their upcoming games.
"I need to organize our schedule for this week. I will be in my room if you need me." Effie excused herself from the group.
"Kay, you go do that princess. We'll be here." replied Haymitch.
Once Effie was far away from earshot Haymitch got up from his seat and went inside the kitchen to get a drink. Katniss, who was bored out of her mind turned the television off.
"Are you bored Katniss?" Peeta asks.
Katniss sighed then replied "Yeah, We've been watching these videos since morning and I still have no strategy."
"Don't worry, I'm sure it will kick in eventually." stated Peeta.
The two relaxed themselves on the couch, staring at the blank TV screen; watching nothing in particular. Moments later Peeta got uncomfortable with the silence and he decides to break it with the first question that pops into his mind.
"Hey Katniss, do you know what's up with Effie's hair?"
"What do you mean?" She turned her head to look at him. She is clearly interested in that topic.
"You know... It's so big and remember the reapings. It sort of angled a little. I don't think that that's her real hair." He stated.
"Peeta, everybody knows that that's not Effie's real hair. It's so obvious but that does raise a question though." Katniss smirked.
"Okay, what is it?" Peeta leaned closer, suddenly more interested in their strange conversation.
Katniss smiled at him. Looked around the room if there's a sign of Effie then she signaled him to lean closer and whispered in his ear. "What's under that wig?"
"Ah, that's a very good question Katniss!" Peeta smiled in amusement. The two then theorized in their minds on what could be under those colorful and elaborate wigs.
Haymitch then returns from the kitchen; carrying two bottles of booze. He looked at the two teenagers on the couch and couldn't help but notice their smirks and the amusement in their eyes.
"Alright you two, what's up?" he asks. Peeta gave a questioning look at Katniss, asking her if he should tell Haymitch and Katniss nodded in approval.
"Okay, we'll tell you... It's about Effie's hair. Do you know what's under there?" he said.
'I was never sober enough to care...until now that is." He smiled at the two giggling teenagers.
"You know,hahaha-I-I think she's bald under there." Katniss said in between laughs.
"That's a good one sweetheart. Can you please elaborate?" requested Haymitch.
"Well, I think she was a former member of an all-women's biker gang that would shave and tattoo their heads. She eventually quit the gang but her hair couldn't grow back because of the tattoo. She then runs away from her own past by getting a job as an escort and concealing her bald tattooed head with wigs.
Peeta and Haymitch then gave her a look that can be comparable to this emoticon O_O before laughing out loud.
"That's nice sweetheart, really nice..." Haymitch said sarcastically.
"Really? Well, I guess we have different theories Katniss." Peeta said.
"Let's hear it then!" Haymitch encouraged him.
"You guys do know Greek mythology right? Do you guys know Medusa?"
"Wait! What are you proposing? That Effie has snakes under there?" Katniss asked as she tried to stifle her laughter.
"Yeah, you see I have this whole back story for it as well. You know about the weird surgeries they do in the Capitol right? What if snakes as hair were all the rage back then and Effie decides to get that enhancement. After putting a lot of thought into it she realized her mistake and how she has completely scarred herself for life, so now she wears that wig. It conceals the deep dark secrets that she dares not to show to the world but it is also a constant reminder to her of her previous mistakes. She is now but a mere shadow of her past self..." Peeta explained.
Katniss and Haymitch then looked at him dumbfounded; their expression can be comparable to this emoticon O_o
"O-okay?" Katniss replied. She questions Peeta's theory but she must agree that it is rather amusing.
"Fine! Don't believe me but I'm telling you the truth. I bet she's feeding them now."
"What does she feed them then?" Haymitch smirked.
"The flesh of district 12's past tributes!" he exclaims.
Katniss then gave him another look (O_o) while Haymitch facepalms himself.
"Remind me to win the games. I don't want to be fed to snakes..." says Katniss sarcastically.
"So what about you Haymitch? Any theories?" Peeta asks.
"Were you guys really serious with the theories that you gave? answer me honestly." he says as he gave questioning looks to the two tributes. He thinks that they are just joking but they both nodded.
"First of all, you're theories are not only unrealistic and weird, it's stupid. What made you think that Effie was an ex-badass running away from her past or a surgery crazed mess running away from her mistakes. No, she is neither one of them. She's actually a princess with magical long flowing golden hair. She got separated from her parents when she was just a baby. She escaped from her captors somehow, then she lived in the Capitol. A lot of people wants to seek her hair's magical properties for their own personal gain. That's why she wears a wig and thick layers of makeup so that no one will know of her true identity."
"Does she have a prince?" Peeta asks jokingly.
"Wipe that smug off your face Peeta and yes she does. She's waiting for him to come along to know the real her and return her to her parents."
"So she's Rapunzel?" Katniss asks.
"Something like that."
"Who is her prince then? You Haymitch?" Peeta smiled jokingly.
"Ye-I mean what made you thought of that?"
"Nothing.. nothing at all." he smirked.
"That's why I call her princess all the time..."
The two teenagers then gave him a weird look that cannot be compared to any emoticon then they laughed at him.
"My theory was better!" exclaimed Katniss.
"Is that a bet? I'm gamed!" says Haymitch.
"What do you mean?" Peeta asks.
"We'll try to get that wig off her head. Whoever guessed the correct theory will be served by the two losers."
"What if no one guessed correctly?" Katniss asks.
"That won't be necessary because I'm sure that I will win!" exclaimed Peeta.
"Don't be so confident in yourself. I have the correct one." stated Haymitch.
"Let's make this more interesting. Let's have a contest as well. Whoever gets Effie to remove her wig or at least get a current picture of her without the wig on will be treated by the two losers to lunch." suggests Katniss.
"Okay then, do we have a deal?"
"DEAL!"
I know that there's a fic out there with the same title -_- but I have already thought of it and started typing before I even saw it and besides our plots are different, so it's okay (I think). Plus, I'm too lazy to think of another one. I even made a song that goes with it. Inspired by one of the "The Little Mermaid: the movie" 's songs (Under the Sea)
