Anyways, thank you to those who reviewed ^_^


Effie woke up to a smell of freshly baked bread and strawberries. She fixed herself then she exited her room and walked towards the kitchen. She was surprised to see Peeta there holding on to a tray of freshly baked bread.

"Good morning Effie!" he greeted her gleefully.

"Good morning to you as well Peeta. Are you baking?" She asked, surprised. He doesn't need to bake, or cook for that matter. The fridge is filled with the finest food and fresh baked bread is delivered to their doorstep each day.

"Oh yes, I want you to try my own very special recipe. I made it just for you." he smiled at her sweetly. Effie couldn't help but smile back; he's such a nice sweet boy. If she would have children she wants them all to be just as nice and polite as Peeta Mellark.

She grabbed a piece from the tray. It's formed into a nice puffy ball and one could smell the strawberry jelly from the inside. She took a small bite and saw that the filling was made up of strings of coagulated strawberry jelly. They look like worms... N-no, not worms, more like snakes. They resemble snakes! She says in her mind but she doesn't want to say it out loud. She might offend Peeta.

"Well, it was quite good..." She didn't lie, they were in fact delicious; the tiny snakes just freaked her out... A LOT!

"What do you think of the filling?" he smiled.

"It was... rather interesting..."

"I see. Did it remind you of something?" his smile started to turn into a smirk. He plans on exposing her secret right then and there.

"They-they honestly looked like snakes but don't get me wrong; they tasted great." She said defensively. Peeta laughed at her response. Effie was dumbfounded by his reaction; she couldn't have anticipated that.

"But Effie, they were suppose to look like snakes." he stated.

"Why?" she raised an eyebrow at him. Indeed, this year's tributes are special-in more ways than one could ever imagine. With Katniss' outburst yesterday and Peeta's weird pastry there is no doubt that the two tributes are complete nutcases.

"Effie it's okay. I know your secret. You don't have to hide it." he stated. Effie looked at the male tribute with her mouth agape.

"H-how? Please don't tell anyone." She said. She was very afraid and confused at the same time. How on earth did Peeta find her out?

"I just thought of it... Now admit it! I won't tell..." he smirked at her. There is just something about Peeta's smile that made her think that she shouldn't trust him but nevertheless either way the others will find out.

"Okay... I'm in lov-" she was cut off.

"No! I mean about your dirty little secret! Stop trying to run away from your mistakes, Effie. We're here to help you..." he glared at her.

"W-what are you talking about? What mistake? And please stop yelling. Your manners!"

"Don't play dumb! Just admit your snake problem!"

"Snake? problem?" she gave him a questioning look. She loathes snakes; she is terrified of them but that can't be the problem; a lot of people are too. Is Peeta planning to scare her?

"Yes, didn't you get a surgery to implant snakes into your scalp?"

Effie was shocked by Peeta's strange theory. She stood there with her mouth agape. She just can't process on how he thought of such a vile idea. Haymitch! That's it. He must be posioning the boy's thoughts. There is no other logical explanation! she thought.

After a few moments, she finally broke the silence and gave out a firm no.

"Ah, so you're the actual Medusa, a surviving gorgon... What vile scheme are you up to? Are you here to turn all of Panem to stone?" Peeta took a couple of steps backwards. He suddenly became scared of Effie.

"What are you talking about? Are you sick?" she extended an arm to feel his temperature but Peeta shuffled back in fright.

"Touch me not dreadful one! I dare not look at you, lest I be turned to stone!" he shut his eyes quickly and placed his hand on his pocket and scanned for a mirror. When he found it he directed it to Effie.

"Face your own vile reflection creature! Give harm no more!" he exclaimed.

"Peeta, your manners! That's extremely rude!"

Peeta gently opened his eyes and shocked to see a not-turned-to stone Effie. He was extremely terrified as he scurried away from her.

"It didn't work! The make up-it alters the effects!" He exclaimed as he rushed back into his room, dropping a lot of baking trays on his way.

Effie pinched the bridge of her nose in frustration. It looks like Peeta's not as sweet as she thought. She walked briskly towards Haymitch's room then she rapidly banged on the door.

"Haymitch, we have to talk!"


Sorry, this one took a while. I wasn't feeling stoned/high/drunk/etc. (ps: it just sort of comes to me...) I also noticed that my Peeta humor revolves around him believing that Effie is a demon of some sort ( oh well). Next up is Haymitch's POV

Your reviews are much appreciated :D
