Katniss's POV
Wow. No one expected shy Peeta to become a superstar. Clove, Cato and I were in the newsstand when we saw the article about a new star in Panem. We skimmed the article to find the person's name and were surprised to see "Peeta Mellark" on it. We wrote to him asking if it was true. And of course he said yes. Since then, we've kept track of his progresses. Today, Cato, Clove and I were in my house reading a new article when my mom barged in the room and said that someone wants to see us. What? We went down the stairs and found a reporter in the living room.
"Are you Katniss Everdeen, Cato Ludwig and Clove Fuhrman?" asks the reporter. (A/N Suzanne Collins never wrote down Cato and Clove's last names. So I used the names of actors...)
"Yes," I say.
"Were you, by any chance, related to Peeta Mellark?"
"We were - no - are best friends," says Clove.
"I thought so. Peeta Mellark himself said that during his interview. He's moving back to District 12 soon and I would like you to make a video of you greeting him," says the reporter.
"Why?" asks Cato.
"Just because. I will give you the tape after filming so you can modify it to your taste. And then you will send it back to this address," says the reporter before giving us an address. We start the filming.
Peeta's POV
I can't believe it! After all these years, we're moving back to District 12! But the bad thing is that the paparazzi wants to know every detail. So I just told them that I was really excited to see Kat, Clove and Cato again. But I shouldn't have. Now, they want to know everything about them.
Right now I'm sitting on the stage of he Caesar Flickerman show and he's bombarding me with questions that I do not want to answer.
But only one thing he said tonight really got me sitting up in anticipation.
"When you told the press that you have three best friends back in District 12, I told them to send over a greeting video to you. Would you like to see it?" asks Caesar.
"Are you kidding?! Of course I do!" I say and the screen behind me changes to a video that my friends filmed.
"Hey Peets. So happy that you're coming back home! I thought that you were never going to visit. Let alone come back to live here! District 12 changed A LOT when you were gone. Lots of immigrants. Everyone in the District is ecstatic about you coming here! Seriously. The only thing on the newsstand this week was 'Peeta Mellark moving to District 12!' You don't want to know what some of your fans plan to do here when you arrive," says Katniss on the video.
"Hi Pita bread. Yes, the nickname stuck. You will not be disappointed in us Peet. We've kept track of your career. Sorry we couldn't get places for your tour when you went here. The place was packed like sardines! Tickets were sold out in three days. I expect some cupcakes when you come back," says Clove. I laugh.
"What's up man. You doin' well in the Grand Capitol? Warning, they have weaponry classes in school now. I have no idea why. I know that my e-mails and letters to you are usually filled with profanity and you're wondering why I'm not using them. I can't do it here now can I? Seriously though, you cannot believe how many girls' rooms are filled with posters of you. Everyone in the District buys your albums. Us? We didn't forget you. Notice the chains and charms. I hope you're still wearing 'em," says Cato.
The video end with a black screen and letters appear. It said, "Love U. Miss U. See U soon. -Kat, Clo and Cato."
Applause. I cannot believe that they did that for me! I was so happy that I would've jumped up and and danced around if no one was here.
"What do you say, huh?" asks Caesar.
"Wow. Guys, if you're watching this, I wanna say thank you for keeping track of me and not forgetting after all these years. I miss you guys terribly and can't wait to see you! Yes, Clove. You will get cupcakes," I say.
Big laugh from the audience. Caesar bids them goodnight and we signed off.
Clove's POV
"Hurry up! Hurry up! The show's starting!" I say. Peeta's going to be in the Caesar Flickerman show tonight and I didn't want to miss one bit.
We watched our video getting showed and then Peeta thanks us.
"Wow. Guys, if you're watching this, I wanna say thank you for keeping track of me and not forgetting after all these years. I miss you guys terribly and can't wait to see you! Yes, Clove. You will get cupcakes," he says.
Katniss, Cato and I laugh.
"Yes! Cupcakes!" I yell.
"Greedy. I don't know how you managed to stay thin," says Katniss teasingly.
"That's the magic of me! I don't turn fat," I say. "Admit it. You guys are all craving Peeta's cupcakes too."
"Fine! Fine! You win! Who can't crave Peeta's cupcakes?" says Katniss.
"No one. That's who," says Cato. Then, we all burst out laughing.
"Oh my God! I can't wait to see him! It's been what? Eight years?" says Katniss.
"I know right? The problem is that he's now a superstar and all girls will automatically fall at his feet!" says Cato. We burst out laughing again.
"Sometimes I wonder how we will ever find peace when we hang out with him when he comes back," I say.
"Even principal Snow is a fan!" says Katniss.
"NO. WAY!" I scream.
"Yes way! Remember when I got sent to his office last week? He forgot to close his door and I caught him dancing to one of Peeta's songs," she says. We all burst out laughing again.
"When were you going to tell us, Kat?" asks Cato between laughs.
"Oh, I could just imagine him! That was FUCKING EPIC!" I say.
"What song was it?" asks Cato.
"I don't remember. But it was one of Peeta's more upbeat songs," says Katniss.
"Did you tell Prim?" I ask.
"Yup. She was laughing whenever she saw Snow for an entire week! I think that she still does!" says Katniss.
We all laugh again.
OOOOOOO... Snow dancing in his office! How did you all like this chapter? I had a lot of fun writing this.
Please review and I will send you an imaginary cupcake made by Peeta. JK. But it would really make my day.
Anyway, if you guys notice some letters missing from a few words, don't hesitate to tell me. my laptop has just recently become the victim of my sister's cookie crumbs and some of the keys don't press all the way through.
No update until I get at least 3 reviews.
