Because I'm amazing I know Y'all are shocked about me updating so quickly. I'm only updating so fast casuse I wanted to hurry up and post this so I could get to the next chapter. R&R.
Disclamer: If I owned the hunger games I would have bought myself a kindle and would be reading Serpent's Shadow on it.
Chapter 1
Rule 1: I shall not steal Haymitch's alcohol.
Kaylee's point of view
"Remind me why we decided to do this?" Peeta asked. "Cause I wouldn't shut up till Katniss joined me. I dunno why you wanted to help" I replied annoyed. "So what's first?" Katniss jumped in, probably worried about me trying to beat up Peeta. I probably would've. "First up" I said checking the list "steal Haymitch's alcohol" "No. Peeta tried to take it. It didn't go too well." Katniss answered "why what happened" I inquired (ooooh big word.) curiously. "Weeeelll" Peeta replied
_Flashback mode_
"So, you're supposed to give us advice," Katniss says to Haymitch.
"Here's some advice. Stay alive," says Haymitch, and then bursts out laughing.
She exchanges a look with Peeta before she remembers she's having nothing more to do with him. Katniss is surprised to see the hardness in his eyes. I would be to. He generally seems so mild.
"That's very funny," says Peeta. Suddenly he lashes out at the glass in Haymitch's hand. It shatters on the floor, sending the blood red liquid running toward the back of the train. "Only not to us."
Haymitch considers this a moment, then punches Peeta in the jaw, knocking him from his chair. When he turns back to reach for the spirits, she drive the knife into the table between his hand and the bottle, barely missing his fingers.
_Flashback over_
"Huh" I reply "I did not see that happing. Oh well. I have a loooong list." Katniss & Peeta groan
Rule 2: I shall not handcuff the most annoying tribute to the head game maker
Katniss' POV
"Well" I say "what's next?" "I dunno" Kaylee responds "I made the list I dunno the order" she tosses the list to me "you choose the next one." I skim the list & smirk at the one that I like the best. "I choose I shall not handcuff the most annoying tribute to the head game maker." Peeta has a confused & amused face on. "Okay" Kaylee says. "So we handcuff the most annoying tribute to Seneca Crane. That seems easy enough. So who's the most annoying tribute?" she asks.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO Page break
"This is meeeeaaan!" kaylee moans "hey" Seneca says insulted. "I'm a wonderful person." "Ya, and the hunger games are a wonderful event and it's amazing to be a tribute." Kaylee responds her entire sentence covered in sarcasm. "But the hunger games ARE a wonderful event." Crane answered "If it weren't for the game who knows what would've happened. As for being a tribute you get to experience wonderful things you'd never experience before." "I suppose. Kaylee backfires "but we'd probably all be dead instead of clinging to that on strand of hope that we'll be the victor. Also we try it before we die. We probably won't remember the food in heaven or hell, whichever one we go to.' "I got the key" one of the minor game makers shouts. He walks over and unhandcuffs Kaylee from Seneca. "Finally!" Kaylee shouts and walks towards me & Peeta where we're laughing giving us the evil eyes. "WHY THE FLUPPIN PANEM DID YOU HANDCUF HIM TO ME!" Kaylee shouts. "Easy" I reply calmly. "The rule was 'I shall not handcuff the most annoying tribute to the head game maker.' You're the most annoying tribute and Seneca is the head game maker." Kaylee just sticks her tongue out at me.
Rule 3: I shall not put something in Haymitch's alcohol.
Kaylee's POV
"Okay. Since Katniss choose the last task I'm choosing this task." I say while giving Katniss a dirty look when I say task. "Wait why do you choose this task why not me? I haven't chosen any yet." Peeta whin- I mean asked. "Because" I replied annoyed with him." You volunteered to help me. I only wanted Katniss to help but since you're helping us that means you volunteered. Anyway this task is: I shall not put something in Haymitch's alcohol!" Katniss & Peeta's jaw drop. "Why should we do that? That seems mean. What if we kill him?" Peeta asks annoyingly. I mean worriedly. "Relax" I respond calmly. "It's not like we're going to put anything dangerous or deadly in it. We'll just put something gross or weird in. Like cat pee or maybe coffee." Thump. Thump thump. "What was that sound?" Katniss asked. "What are you talking about?" Peeta inquired curiously "I don't hear anything." "I do" I said butting in "it sounds like footsteps. Their obviously very good at being quite & sneaky since Peeta can't hear them their obviously either tiptoeing or naturally quite. So it's either Rue from 11 or that girl that reminds me of a fox from 5." Katniss and Peeta then looked at me like I said if you put a peanut, a bowling ball, mustard, a carrot, two blue berries & the number 91 it would make a blonde hair, blue eyed, baby that would live until it's 91 years old. "What?" I ask "why you lookin at me like I' m crazy? It's not a crime for weird people to be smart." Katniss shrugs "I guess its cause to us you seemed a bit…" she paused "crazy." "I AM NOT CRAZY!" I shout angrily "Well no sane person would make a list of things to do before the die if they go to the hunger games!" Katniss shots back at me. "OH MY GLOB!" I shout while going to get the tribute that was listening into our conversation. It turned out to be Foxface. I grinned evilly at the tribute while bringing her back to where Bread Boy & Katniss were. "Hello girl that reminds me of a fox that I will now call Foxface!" I shout loudly at her. Then I say the rest of it in a normal voice. Actually in a quiet voice. "You know about the list. You've been listening in the entire time. Since you have done that you shall help us with this task. I shall get the stuff and you'll put it in using you're sneaky skills okay?" She nods and runs away. I grab BB (bread boy) & Katniss and drag them to the kitchen. Since it's not near meal time no one was there. "Okay then." I said my voice full of cheer. "Mix together a bunch of weird & NON-lethal things. We'll mix our mixtures together, I'll give it to foxface & she'll put it in Haymitch's alcohol." They go & do that. My mixture has apple sauce, orange juice, tomato juice, strawberry smoothie, banana smoothie, milk, sugar, cream, hot chocolate (cooled down), coconut milk, and sweat. BB's mixture has flower, dough, water, frosting, peanut butter, jelly, vegetable oil, and lemonade (Hehe. He chose a girly item because he's a girl.) Katniss's mixture had hot sauce, blended fish with fish bones, strawberries, blood, 20 pounds of hot peppers, and seaweed juice. I don't know how they got seaweed. I've never even seen a beach. We then mixed our concoctions together. Then I put in 15 pounds of hot pepper & put it in the blender again to make sure it was smooth enough to put in the alcohol without Haymitch noticing it. "Don't you think that's too much spiciness?" BB asks "I mean 35 pounds of hot peppers and hot sauce? That seems mean." I ignore BB. "Foxface!" I shout. "I have de mixture. Put a little bit in each of Haymitch's bottles." Foxface quickly grabs the mix & runs to put it in. I drag BB & Katniss to Haymitch so we can watch him drink our… mixture. Hehe

Foxface's POV
Can someone remind me why I'm doing this again? Oh right. Kaylee asked me to and I don't want her as an enemy. I heard that she can use every weapon with accuracy & her intelligence is unmatched. If that's true she's basically the capitol's idea of a perfect tribute. I go up the stairs to the penthouse. Then I go into the kitchen silently. Poor Haymitch, he has to drink the stuff. I quickly pour a little bit in hoping that since most of the liquid is something he likes that it won't taste too bad.
OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO Page break
"OH MY FLIPPIN PANEM!" Haymitch shouts. "ULLLLLGGGG! IT TASTES SO HORRIBLE! WHY MY PRECIOUS ALCHOL! WHY HAVE YOU BETRAYED ME!" I guess my hopes weren't listened to. "What in the name of the amazing capitol are you screaming for?" 12's guide shrieked like a chicken. I think my ears just died. "TASTE THE ALCHOL!" Haymitch shouted handing the bottle to the guide. She hesitated before taking it then taking a tiny sip. Poor guide, after she puked about five days worth of food before going into a different room. Haymitch was so focused on his horrible alcohol he didn't notice Katniss & Kaylee laughing their heads off. The boy from 12 looked very guilty. Once Kaylee was able to talk she said "Foxface…. You… help… us… With… rule... when… we…. Need… help…" after each word she busted out laughing. I simply nodded and walk away. Oh panem what did I get myself into?
Rule 4: I shall not pull or trample President Snow's roses. (K)
Kaylee's POV
Hmmm…. This one I can't have Katniss or BB do… that'd just get 'em killed as soon as we get in the arena. OH! The little kid! "Hey Katniss? What's the name of the girl from 11?" I ask quickly. "Her name is Rue." She responds cautiously. "Wwwhhhy?" "Rule number four is 'I shall not pull or trample President Snow's roses' and since we'd probably get killed as soon as we get in the arena we can't do it. But since Rue's so cute and innocent she wouldn't be killed that quickly. So Rue, will you do it?" I asked realizing that Rue was listing in. I could hear her 'cause of my MAD ninja skills. "That depends" Rue responds shyly. "Will you tell me what this is about?" So I tell her about the rules and the list she agrees to help. OFF TO DICTATOR SNOW'S HOUSE WE GO!
Rue's POV
I skip around President Snow's garden pulling his roses. I smell a few too. Why did I agree to this? Oh now I remember. Chaff and Seeder, my districts mentors want me to make an alliance with Kaylee. Also the list sounds pretty funny. "What are you doing?" some capitol women shouted. She had light pink skin and orange skin. It was kind of scary. I could see Kaylee trying hard not to laugh. If I were in her position I probably would have done the same thing. Capitol people always look ridiculous. Kaylee began fluttering her eyelashes at Katniss who was looking at me worriedly. That action made Katniss almost laugh and blows their cover. Then Kaylee's face went serious, (which scared Me.) turned towards me and mouthed "act supper innocent." Since I wanted her as ally I did what she said. "What do you mean? I just wanted to look at the pretty roses and have a few. My district doesn't have such pretty flowers. The lady looked horrified while Kaylee and Katniss looked like they were about to die. "You're a tribute?" She screeched possibly damaging my hearing. Probably Katniss's and Kaylee are as well considering the faces of pain Kaylee was making. Katniss had a poker face on. I think I did as well considering the fact that the capitol lady was ranting and not looking at me. Or she didn't care about tributes. I hoped it was the first. Not just because the second one was rude but also because I didn't want Katniss and Kaylee to see me as weak. Or did I? That worked pretty well for one of the victors a few years back. But tributes this year would probably suspect that and try to kill me first. "How could you even think about exploring the capitol anyway? Tributes should be in the training center practicing skills that will help them survive! This is just proof that the game makers are irresponsible." The lady was just going on and on and on. I could tell Kaylee thought so too. Her face had a glazed over look. "Sorry" I said in the most innocent voice I could muster. "I just wanted to see as much of the amazing capitol as I can. But you're right which is obvious since you're a capitol residence and people from the capitol are always right. I'll be going now." I got out of there as quickly as I could without seeming rude because I did NOT want to hear another sentence from that capitol lady. I knew Kaylee and Katniss were following because no sane tribute would want to talk to an annoyed capitol person. Their accents are ridiculous!

"Okay" Kaylee says to me grinning. "Since you helped me with that task you are now our ally." YES! I accomplished what I was trying to do! "When you are needed for a task you must also help." I nod, that makes sense. "Does that mean Foxface is also our ally?" Katniss asked "No because she most likely did it because she's scared of me. While cute little Rue" I beamed when she called me cute "willingly decided to help us. Plus she's too cute to not want to have as an ally. Now if you'll excuse me I am going to get some bacon." Kaylee shouted while skipng away most likely to get some bacon.
If I was Kaylee I also would have went to get some bacon. Tell me rules you think of. If I like 'em I'll eventually use ! I almost forgot! Later on in the story Carrers shall be helping me. I don't know when though. they might even come next chapter! I don't really have anything else to say... sooo... BYE!
