A/N And this is where they meet :3

"Hi, I'm Atala. I'm your head trainer," came a voice behind them.

Cato and Clove turned sharply. Cato nodded and crossed his arms, determined to show off his muscles to this 'trainer'. Atala was about thirty, with skin the colour of coffee and rich, chocolate hair. She looked strong, and had an aura of wisdom. Cato wasn't scared of her, but he knew, deep down, if they were going to fight each other, that she would be some competition.

"Cato," he says shortly, shaking her hand. Clove just nods and folds her arms to mimic her district partner's.

"Well, aren't you the early birds! Usually, you careers are… I expect District One and Four shall be arriving soon."

"Hear that, Cato," Clove hissed. Cato had to bend down to hear her. "You'll see your girlfriend."

Cato just rolled his eyes and wandered over to the sword base. He was just about to pick up a mace, when a perfectly manicured hand shot out and grabbed it.

"Hey, I'm good with a mace. Aren't I Marvel!" her voice was sweet and girly, with a flirtatious edge.

"Erm, yeah Glimmer!" Glimmer. Glimmer. Glimmer. Glimmer.

It was her! The girl on the tapes!

"Hi, I'm Cato, District Two," he said, before he could stop himself.

"Oh, hey. I'm Glimmer, District One," she smiled up at him, her eyes shining. Of course, he knew that. Her expression changed quickly, like she had a change of tactic. "Anyway, I'll see you round."

And she waked off. Just like that.

Clove laughed and whispered, "I think she's playing hard to get. Or, she's resisting your erm, charms…"

"Shut up, Clove. Go find a guy who's gonna want to look at you twice."

Before Clove could punch him, Cato slipped off to follow Glimmer.

"So I hear you're handy with a mace?" He said, once he'd found her watching Marvel spear a dummy.

"Yeah… I kinda just said that," Glimmer replied, laughing. "But its sweet that you'd listened!" she said brightly.

Sweet. So Cato, fierce, brave, strong Cato, had been called sweet.

"And do you like sweet guys?" He said, trying to sound seductive.

"Well, yeah, I mean, I prefer strong guys myself."

"I can be strong!" Cato replied quickly, nodding his head. "In fact, I'm rarely, er, not strong!"

Oh my God Cato, you're so good at this, he thought scalding to himself. Just pick up a damn God sword and tear the dummy! That way, she'll have to notice you.

Cato made his way back over to the sword table, and found himself a large, sleek, show-offish one.

"Watch this," he whispered as he brushed past Glimmer.

Cato flicked a switch on the control panel, and automatically, the dummies started chucking themselves at him, while he flicked and swished and chopped and struck into their rubber skin.

When he had finished demolishing the display unit, he chucked his sword to the ground and sauntered back to where Glimmer was standing.

"Well, I have to say I'm impressed," she said, winding her hands around Cato's neck.

Cato's whole body seemed to react to her touch, and his mind blurred as she smirked, at his dumbfounded expression.

"See ya round."

So she was still playing, as Clove had said, 'hard to get'. Cato felt enraged. After all that, all she said was 'see ya round'? Well, she had hung on to his neck, but it seemed that she was very much in charge. Which he hated. It was time to show who was really in charge, he thought.
