The next morning Kat woke up at four in the morning. She was awoken by Haymitch.

''Why are we up so early?'' Kat asked at breakfast.

''The interviews start at 9.'' Haymitch answered.

''Well arne't there two other people?'' Kat asked.

''Yes but we want you to look gorgeous.'' Octavia said.

''I thought I already do.'' Kat said.

''Well we need you to look presidential gorgeous.'' Venia said.

''Well I guess that makes sense.'' Kat said taking a sip of her juice. ''I won't have to go on some kind of stupid diet will I?'' Kat asked.

Flavious laughed. ''No of course not.''

''Good.'' Kat said.

''Hurry and eat, we have a lot to do.'' Flavious said, getting up from the table and walking into Kat's bedroom to set up. Octavia and Venia were close behind. Kat sighed. She took one last bite of her food and got up from the table. When Kat walked into her room, her make up crew had already set out the diffrent outfits on the bed, along with the makeup and diffrent hair tools which were neatly set on the dresser.

''What are we doing first?'' Kat asked, taking a seat on the edge of the bed.

''Well we are going to chose your outfit.'' Venia said, holding up two outfits. In her left hand was a pair of black jeans along with a navy jacket with gold buttons. In her right hand was a pink pencil skirt with a green blouse. ''Which one do you like?'' Venia asked.

''What about the green shirt with the jacket and the jeans?'' Kat asked. Venia thought for a moment about Kat's idea.

''That might actually look really cute.'' Venia said excitedly. ''Here go try it on.'' Venia handed Kat the outfit.

A few minutes later Kat walked out wearing the Green blouse along with the navy jacket and black jeans. ''Put on these.'' Octavia said, holding out a pair of gold heels. Kat gave Octavia an unsure look.

''It matches the buttons. Just try them.'' Octavia said. Kat took a seat on a nearby chair. Once she had them on she stood up to see how they felt.

''How do they feel?'' Flavious asked.

''Amazing.'' Kat said.

''You look gorgeous.'' Venia said.

''That's what we were going for isn't it?'' Kat asked.

A few hours later, Kat walks out the front door and is escorted by Fletcher to the lobby.

''Here put these on.'' Fletcher says to Kat as they are down the hall, holding out a pair of sunglasses.

''Why?'' Kat asked.

''Just do it.'' Fletcher said, as they walked into the elavator.

''Fine.'' Kat said putting on the sunglasses.

''Now people won't be able to know your you.'' Fletcher said with a smile. Just then, the elvator doors opened to reveal a swarm of news reporters.

''You were saying?'' Kat asked sarcastically. Fletcher sighed.

''Excuse us.'' Fletcher said pushing Kat and himself through the crowd.

''My god, are the men reporters always so touchy?'' Kat asked once they were free from the crowd.

''At least they have an excuse.'' Fletcher murmured.

''What?'' Kat asked, now standing in place.

''Nothing. Come on Haymitch is waiting for us.'' Fletcher said grabbing Kat by the arm.

''Now your doing it.'' Kat said freeing herself from Fletchers grip.

''You were just standing there. We have to make sure you get to the council interview in time.'' Fletcher said.

''I am in heels, I can't walk that fast!'' Kat said.

''Ugh.'' Fletcher said looking at his watch, which said 8:21. ''Take them off.'' Fletcher said.

''What? But why? I love these shoes.'' Kat said.

''Then I guess I'm going to have to carry you won't I?'' Fletcher said, scooping Kat in his arms.

''Fletcher! Let me down.'' Kat said firmly.

''Um...No.'' Fletcher said, beginning to run.

''Fletcher! As your future president I demand you let me down now!'' Kat screamed. Fletcher ignorned Kat's demands and continued running through the hotel.

''What are you doing?'' yelled a voice from behind them. Fletcher quickly turned to see Lavina standing there along with Annie Rose and Cato.

''Looking for Haymitch.'' Fletcher said.

''He already left. Mom was called in to be on the council for the interviews today.''

''Why did Haymitch have to go?'' Fletcher asked.

''Why does it matter? I'm in charge arne't I?'' Lavina said.

''Yes but-'' Fletcher said

''No buts, now put Kat down and follow me.'' Lavina said firmly and walked out the exit door.

''Yes mam.'' Fletcher said and put Kat down.

''Thank-you Fletcher.'' Kat said and walked out the door.

''You're welcome Mrs. president.'' Fletcher said, as a smirk played on his face.

Thirty minutes later, the group arrived at the city hall with ten minutes to spare.

''Follow me.'' Lavina said walking ahead of the rest of the group. Lavina then turned down the hall and stopped at the door closest to her left.

''Name please.'' said a voice coming out of the kep pad.

''Lavina Berry Mellark.'' Lavina said. The door immediately slid into the wall revealing a room filled with TV monitors.

''What is this?'' Kat asked.

''This is the viewing room. It's for canidates and their supporters to view the other interviews.'' Lavina explained.

''Hey theres your mom Lavina.'' Fletcher said pointing at the monitor screen.

''She looks nervous.'' Kat said.

''Probably because your up next.'' Fletcher said.

''Great now I'm nervous.'' Kat said.

''Don't be nervous.'' Fletcher said.

''What am I even going to say?'' Kat asked.

''Don't worry about what your going to say, worry about your going to say it.'' Lavina said.

''What do you mean?'' Kat asked.

''Well don't smile. Especially when your talking about something really serious.'' Lavina explained.

''Oh and don't roll your eyes or scoff or anything like that.'' Annie Rose said.

''Annie's right, the last thing we need is for Panem to think your a narotic bitch like your mother was.'' Lavina explained.

''My mother was not a noratic bitch.'' Kat said.

''Well that's what Panem thinks, and they don't want that as their president.'' Lavina said.

''Anything else?'' Kat asked.

''Don't be stupid.'' Lavina said. Suddenly a part of the wall slid into itself and revealed the back stage of the court room.

''Good luck.'' Lavina said.

''Your not coming with me?'' Kat asked nervously.

''Of course we are.'' Fletcher said pointing at the tv monitors. Kat nodded her head and walked up next to the announcer.

''Ladies and Gentlemen. Candidate Katniss Hawthorne.'' The announcer said. The audience clapped with excitement. Even after Kat was standing on the podium, it was as if she had just walked in.

''Can you all please settle down?'' said one of the councilmen.

''Well it seems that you have many followers Mrs. Hawthorne.'' Said Katniss.

''Is that a good thing?'' Kat asked, causing the audience to break out in laughter.

''Well what do you think?'' Kat asked.

''I want to say yes, but since I'm not president yet I don't know.''

''Well you are a candiate Mrs. Hawthorne, which is enough to know the answer to my last question.'' Katniss said firmly. Kat began feeling the pressure.

''So Mrs. Hawthorne if are president what will your 1st job be?'' asked a one of the councilmen.

''To completely end the Hunger Games of course.'' Kat said.

''And how would you do that?'' asked another councilmen.

''I- I don't know.'' Kat said. She could already hear Lavina cursing in her head. Especially when every head of the coucil, including Katniss' head feel into their hands. Kat had to think of something now, or else she would fail everything she's been working for.

''Wait- I have an idea.'' Kat said.

''An idea?'' Katniss asked.

''I mean, I have something I'd like to propose to you all.'' Kat corrected herself. The vice president looked at the rest of the council who all nodded their heads.

''Explain.''

''What if- What if I volunteer as tribute for this years games?'' Kat said. The council laughed. ''What's so funny?''

''You were serious?'' said multiple councilmen.

''Yes I was.'' Kat said.

''And if you die?'' Katniss asked.

''Then Panem has one less candidate to choose from. But if I win, wheather I am voted president or not, the Hunger Games are ended. Forever.''

''Well I would allow this, but I'm afraid we have already chosen the tributes for this years games. Not to mention, the council isn' allowed to make a decision like this without a nationwide vote from Panem. We wouldn't have enough time to get the votes and the attention. The games begin in three days.'' Said the gamemaker.

''Then I will take their place, and I'm sure if I was made a canidate within an hour after putting in my own name that people will vote even faster.'' Kat said.

''Katniss. No.'' Katniss hissed.

''Well you seem very determined, doesn't she audience?'' said the announcer. The audience let out a cheer.

''It seems like they like it.'' Kat said with a smirk. The councilmen all turned to the head gamemaker who sighed.

''Fine Mrs. Hawthorne, if you really want to do this.''

''I do.'' Kat said.

''Then welcome to the 96th annual Hunger Games.'' said the head gamemaker. The audience cheered.

''And may the odds be ever in my favor right?'' Kat asked sarcastically.

''Wrong!'' Katniss yelled.

''What?'' The audience all said at once.

''As your god mother I refuse to let you do this!'' Katniss said, standing up from her seat. The audience gasped.

''Well theres nothing you can do about it.'' Kat argued. The audience gasped again.

''You can't do this!'' Katniss cried.

''The decision has already been made. I'm sorry if you don't like it.'' Kat said and walked off the stage.

Katniss stood there motionless.

Johanna and Gale were waiting backstage with Lavina when they saw Kat walk out in tears.

''How could you say something like that!'' Lavina asked furious. ''That was the most stupid thing to say!''

''I wasn't thinking. I couldn't think of anything else to say. I'm so-'' Kat said.

''Don't bother. You completely just screwed us and yourself.'' Lavina said.

''Do you even know how to hunt Katniss?'' Gale asked.

''No, but I'm a fast learner.'' Kat said.

''The games begin in 48 hours Katniss! There isn't enough time!'' Fletcher said.

''There has to be.'' Kat said. She turned to Johanna who was emotionless. ''Right mom?''

''Of course.'' Johanna choked. Kat smiled.

''Everything will be okay. I can do this.'' Kat said.

''Come on Katniss.'' Haymitch took Katniss by the hand and pulling her away from her family.

''Where are we going?'' Kat asked, looking back her family.

''We have to get you to the tribute building now.'' Haymitch said.

''But what about them?'' Kat asked.

''You'll see them when you get there.'' Haymitch said.

''Okay.'' Kat said..

''Let's go.'' Haymitch said and escorted kat away.

''Haymitch?'' Kat asked as she and Haymitch were walking out the city hall.

''Yes my dear?'' Haymitch said.

''What if I don't make it?'' Kat asked.

''You will, I will make sure of it.'' Haymitch assured Kat.
