Jackie and Xavier went back to their rooms and changed out of there training suits and were super tired. "Uh….my feet are killing me". Jackie moaned. Jackie changed into a purple top and navy sweatpants. "*YAWN* I think I'll take a little nap on this….nice….comfy….couch". Jackie said closing her eyes and falling asleep on the couch in the living room. Hours later she felt a nudge on her shoulder. "Jackie wake up". Maya said. "Mmmmm…..what"? Jackie asked sluggishly.

"There's gonna be two special guests at dinner tonight". Maya smiled. "Who"? Jackie moaned. "It's a surprise you'll see". Maya said. "Sure okay let me sleep alright"? Jackie moaned. "Alright". Maya smiled. Jackie fell back asleep she thought Maya telling her about the surprise guests coming to dinner was all a dream. But it wasn't little did she know she, Maya and Xavier were gonna meet Katniss Everdeen and Peeta Mellark aka The Star Crossed Lovers of District 12.

"Jacqueline my dear time to wake up". Effie said. "Mmmmm alright just let me wakeup some kay? Oh and don't me call me Jacqueline kay bro"? Jackie asked stretching. "Well alright if you don't want to be called Jacqueline then I respect that. Another thing dear don't call me bro or dude it's not very lady like". Effie said. "Whatever you say". Jackie yawned.

As Jackie woke herself up she wondered what happened earlier, she could've sworn that Maya said something about special guests coming to dinner or something. Jackie brushed her hair and washed her face. "Jackie time for dinner"! Effie called. "Okay"! Jackie called back. Jackie walked into the living room but accidentally bumped into Peeta.

"Sorry dude". Jackie said getting up. "It's alright". Peeta said back. "Hey aren't you"? Jackie asked. "Peeta Mellark of District 12 yes". He grinned. "Awesome to meet you dude I'm Jackie". Jackie greeted. "So you're the Cool Kitty". Peeta grinned. "Um hm I guess that's my nickname now. So when are you Katniss getting married"? Jackie grinned. Peeta just at look her and didn't know what to say, Peeta's not sure when they'll do that.

He and Katniss haven't changed very much these past 6 years but Katniss has matured in her face, there 23 now there still young but there not sure if they wanna get married. They love each other like crazy but it could be dangerous to get married.

That was really awkward so Jackie decided to put the words she said and reverse them, like she didn't say them at all. "Sorry that was insensitive of me let me start over. "deirram gnitteg ssintaK uoy era nehw oS. won eman ym 'staht sseug mh mU". Jackie said reverse. "Awesome to meet you dude I'm Jackie". She said starting over. Peeta just chuckled.

"Hi". Maya greeted Peeta. "Hello you must be Maya nice to meet you". Peeta smiled while shaking her hand. "What brings you here"? Jackie asked forgetting that Maya told her he was coming. "Don't you remember"? Maya asked. "Remember what"? Jackie asked. "I told you we have two special guests coming to dinner". Maya said. "Oh….I thought it was all a dream". Jackie said remembering. "Maybe I should until after you wake up to tell you stuff huh"? Maya asked.

"Yeah sounds about right". Jackie said. Everyone sat down at the dinner table and was about to dig in but the question was. Where is Katniss? "Hey wait where's Katniss"? Peeta asked. "Right here". She said walking out and sat down with everyone. "Hi you must be Katniss it's nice to meet you". Maya smiled. "Nice too meet you to". Katniss said. "Jackie dear this is Katniss Everdeen I'm sure you to have a lot of interesting things to discuss". Effie said.

After everyone left the dinner table Jackie and Katniss were left alone to talk girl to girl. "So um…..how are you"? Jackie asked awkwardly as if she had nothing else to say. "Fine…I've heard a lot about you". Katniss said. "Like what"? Jackie asked. "Well for one that you're a living breathing feline. Also that you like to crack jokes and make a fool of yourself". Katniss said. "Ummm….is that bad that I crack puns"? Jackie asked.

"You'll get killed if you screw around in the games". She scolded. "Did I do something to make you angry"? Jackie asked. "Cause you know I've got something in my gut that I need to let out and *inhales deep* it's a big one *BURRRPPP*! Jackie burped hoping it made Katniss laugh. Katniss just looked at her annoyed. "Is everything a joke to you"? Katniss asked mad. "What? No, no I". Jackie said but was cut off by Katniss.

"There's a lot of wrong going on in this world and the only thing you care about is making gross noises and cracking jokes"?! Katniss snapped making Jackie lean back in her chair. "I….um…I". Jackie mumbled sadly. "These games are dangerous and you don't even care about your safety. The Careers will probably take you out but it starts". Katniss glared getting up from the table.

Jackie just sat there, she felt destroyed at what Katniss said. Her eyes began to fill with tears and her throat formed a giant lump. "You okay kid"? Johanna asked. "I…..uh…. need to be excused". Jackie said getting up from the table. Jackie ran to her room and climbed onto her bed.

Jackie hugged her legs and buried her face in her knees and just cried like a baby missing her mama. "Maybe she's right I am a joke". Jackie cried. Johanna heard what Katniss said and was pretty surprised. "Katniss that was really harsh". Johanna said in disbelief. "She needed to know the truth". Katniss said. "You made her cry"! Johanna said. "What happened"? Peeta asked.

"Katniss made the cool kitty cry". Johanna said. "What"? Peeta asked in disbelief. "She said that basically she's a joke and will die first in the games". Johanna said. "Katniss is this true"? Peeta asked. "Yes….but she's just annoying". Katniss said. "You just met her! Yeah her humors a little annoying but she's just a kid"! Johanna said. "Katniss you have to fix this". Peeta said.

"He's right when the game's start in a few weeks she'll be so miserable at what you said, she'll just kill herself. Words can kill to you know". Johanna said. Katniss thought about this looks like the Girl On Fire burned The Cool Kitty to the ground with words. "Your right it was wrong of me to do what I just did. I'll go apologize". Katniss said going to find Jackie.

Meanwhile in Jackie's room Maya was comforting Jackie about what Katniss said. "I'm nothing but a joke". Jackie sobbed. "No you're not Katniss didn't mean it". Maya soothed. "Yes she did! She's the greatest thing that ever happened to the Capitol and Panem and I'm just a nobody with a tail and cat ears"! Jackie sobbed louder. "Jackie it's gonna be okay". Maya said having Jackie's head on her lap. "Jackie"? Katniss asked. They turned to see Katniss standing at the door, Maya was kinda pissed that she made her friend cry. "What do you want"? Maya asked mad.

"Can you give me and Jackie some time alone"? Katniss asked. "Sure". Maya said taking the kitty cat's head off her legs. Maya walked out leaving Jackie and Katniss alone. "Jackie"? Katniss said again. "Mmm….What"? Jackie cried. "I just wanted to say I'm sorry". Katniss said. "Why you were right. After all I'm a joke". Jackie cried. "No you're not. I just got annoyed that's all and something just slipped out that should've stayed in". Katniss said.

"You said the Careers will get me before the whole thing starts". Jackie sobbed into a pillow. Katniss wrapped her arms around the sad kitten and held her. Jackie cried into Katniss's top making it darker and wetter. "Ssshhh…..I didn't mean it I was wrong and stupid and I was way out of line. Can you please stop crying"? Katniss asked. Jackie didn't answer she just sobbed. "Can you at least look at me"? Katniss asked.

Jackie looked up her eyes were pink, puffy and wet and her nose and whiskers were wet and snotty. "Look I was dumb for saying all those things. You didn't deserve it and that burp was actually kinda funny". Katniss said.

"Really"? She asked. "Yeah but I have to ask". Katniss said. "Ask what"? Jackie asked. "Why do make a fool of yourself aren't you afraid that others will judge"? Katniss asked. "No I like to make people laugh. There's a ton of crazy shit going on and it's really deep. I make people laugh because it gives em' hope and happiness. And if you die you'll have something to remember that was happy and humorous instead of terrible". Jackie said.

Katniss smiled and missed judged her it was good that she made others smile. "That's wonderful". Katniss smiled. "Do you forgive me now"? Katniss asked. "Yeah". Jackie smiled. "I can help you and Xavier in training and it really can come in handy". Katniss smiled. "Okay sounds awesome tomorrow"? Jackie asked.

"Tomorrow". Katniss said. The conflict has settled and everything was okay but now Katniss is gonna help her and her tribute partner with the games. How will that go over?
