Chapter 4 – The Discussions

DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE HUNGER GAMES OR ANY OF THE CHARACTERS IN IT, THIS IS SIMPLY A FICTIONAL WRITING WRITTEN FOR PURE ENJOYMENT. THANK YOU.

Peeta and I enter the room to find Annie, Johanna, Beetee, Enobaria, and Haymitch all smiling, giving us hugs as we enter the room. Each of us has our demons, but we choose to hide them, especially now in front of each other.

Beetee is struggling with depression, while Annie is, just Annie I guess. Enobaria has anger as well as anxiety issues and Johanna is stressed and aging quickly. You can tell by the multiple wrinkles right next to the crevasse of her eyeballs.

As for Peeta and I well we have our own problems.

Paylor sits us down and offers us beverages. I order a milkshake, this is one of the many delicacies we do not have back in 12. So I am going to get everything I can get here while I still can.

Paylor asks us first off how we all are, we go around the room until Paylor gets serious with us.

"As you all know there have been revisions to the constitution of Panem since the rebellion ended in victory. We need to know which things should be changed and which things we should keep and all of this fun stuff… Now this may be a sensitive subject for you all. Or maybe some. I would like to read the first few passages of the constitution and try to change or keep depending on the people's votes. May I proceed?"

We all nod, except for Beetee, of course, he is the genius of the bundle, he must know a better solution than to just re-word and change a few things in the constitution.

"I propose a different solution, President Paylor."

"And what is that, Beetee?"

"We let the people decide on the laws."

"How would we do that?" I ask, talking to Beetee makes me ever so curious. He is so smart; it is hard to believe he can even put up with us.

"Well we would proceed to make laws, narrow them down until we cannot decide on them, and then let the people decide on which ones stay and which ones go. Overall we would have our say while also letting the people get what they want. Easy." He answers the question so simply, like butter melting on hot toast.

"That is a brilliant idea Beetee, wish I thought of it myself." Answers Paylor.

Beetee blushes, was there something that we were missing here? Was there something going on between Beetee and Paylor? That's cute, in it's own way, kind of weird too. I can't really decide on which it is. I guess as long as they are happy together.

"What laws do you think should be created first?" Paylor asks all of us.

"Education on the rebellion is a must" I say.

"Yes, but that means we need to educate on the background of why it started. We should discuss this later' she looks down at her phone, 'there is something urgent I must attend to, we can meet later on this week and talk some more, but thank you everyone for coming today and I am very sorry I had to cut it short today. Have a nice day, Marcis and Genisis will escort you in hovercrafts. Thank you." She leaves.

"Katniss, I think we should stop by Dr. Aurelius just to see the possible cures, in four."

I am a little shocked, but I agree, "Okay, whatever you want."

We walk onto our hovercraft and tell the pilot to take us to four; he turns around and chuckles a bit.

"What's up Catnip?"
