KATNISS

I can't wait to get these games over with. Cato is just so...ugh! What does he want from me any way? He couldn't have honestly thought we were friends you don't change like that. I might have been just a bit too harsh on him because the fact is I will have to talk to him again next year. I overheard District Two's guide talking to some other guide about how he was going to be mentoring next year and Brutus wanted to make sure he had some experience before he taught District Two's tributes. At least I won't have to say much to him.

Right now I have to focus on Minnie. I met her in the living room and we waited about fifteen minutes for Cato. We didn't see a hair on his head.

"Cato obviously isn't going to show his stupid little face so we might as well start," I told Minnie. She nodded.

"I agree, Cato is probably just fuming over whatever it is you did to him," She stated.

"You're pretty observant."

"I talk to Effie a lot and everyone heard Cato yelling at you. Gale wanted to go in but Effie convinced him not to. What did you do anyway?"

I grinned as I said "I dumped a bucket of ice cold water on his head." Minnie burst out laughing.

"No wonder he was so mad!" I smiled I had thought Minnie was just terrified of everything and couldn't stand up for herself. Actually, she seems like she'd be a great person to hang out with in better times.

"Now, we need to find your angle, any ideas?" Minnie looked thoughtful.

"How about timid and shy at first but a bit later add in some humor. I'm good at being shy and believe it or not I do have some sense of humor," she offered.

"I like it. Why don't you get something to eat then I'll have Cinna start getting you ready."

"Okay but you should probably get Cato to stop lurking," Minnie added. I laughed.

"I'll do that, now go eat." Minnie skipped off and I got up to go see Cato.

"Katniss shouldn't you be with Minnie?" Effie asked me as I walked to Cato's room.

"No we finished but Cato never showed so I'm coming to see what his problem is," I told her.

"OH! Let me talk to him first!" she squeaked . I nodded okay and waved her to tell her to go on in, while I was rubbing my ear. She can squeak really loudly.

EFFIE

I think I know what's wrong with Cato. I think him and Katniss would make a cute couple! As long as Gale doesn't get in the way.

I entered Cato's room and saw him lying soaking wet on his bed and staring at the ceiling.

"If your name has an 'a' or an 'n' in it go away," He mumbled.

"Well lucky for you mine name has none of those."

"What do you want Effie?"

"Katniss told me you blow off Minnie's training."

"Yeah, so?"

"Was I right or not?" Cato sighed and sat up.

"You were right."

I squealed. Yes! The capitol will love them because they are so different.

"You two are so great for each other! But watch out for Gale I think he likes Katniss," I gushed.

"Effie she doesn't like me in that way, actually she doesn't like me period."

I rolled my eyes, I'm not an idiot but I figured Katniss would be easier to convince than Cato.

"I'm here to help you with that. Did she say why she doesn't like you?"

"Yeah because I'm a sadistic killer who cares for no one but himself," He muttered angrily.

"Well you care about her is there anyone else you care about?'

"I care about my mum and my younger brother but that's about it."

"You should try to be nicer too add a please or thank you in now or then. I have to get going now, Katniss is going to come in now, good luck," I advised and left.

CATO

That was actually pretty good advise, I might as well use it. If Katniss doesn't kill me first. I really wasn't expecting Effie to be so...smart.

The door opened and I waited for Katniss to start yelling at me, instead I got. "Cato did you not dry off after I left?" I shook my head, no. I opened my mouth before she could go on, I guess I might as well give Effie's advise a try.

"Sorry about missing Minnie's training did you find an angle for her?"

Katniss nodded. "Yeah, she thought it up herself, shy and timid but a bit later add in a bit of humor and some confidence."

"That's really good, I'll congratulate her later. Now, I'll change,dry off, and met you in the living room in five minutes. I'll get the door for you."

I walked over and opened the door for her. katniss walked out looking shocked and a bit creeped out. I really hope that worked.

KATNISS

That was werid. Cato was being nice but he felt more distant when he was being nice then he is when he's being his cocky and annoying self.

"So how'd it go?" Effie asked me.

"He was nice but I didn't like it. I like him being nice but I don't want him to change, and I know I said I did but I like the Cato who's cocky and arrogant and always has a witty comment but can be nice some times and why am I telling you this? See you Effie." I told her and as I was walking away I saw Effie enter Cato's room again, a moment later I heard something heavy hit the wall. I shook my head and went to have dinner.

Cato joined me five minutes later. "I thought I said living room?" I shrugged.

"I was hungry."

"Well you could've waited for me."

"I was really hungry."

"Whatever. Where is everyone else?"

'They're getting Gale and Minnie ready for the interviews."

"I knew that I was just...testing you."

"Sure you were."

"I was!"

"I'm not saying you weren't. So what was up with your behavior earlier?"

"What behavior?"

"You were being nice."

"Me? Nice? Are you sure you weren't knocked out or something?" I smiled.

"I'm positive. You even got the door for me, so why?" Cato leaned forward and whispered in my ear.

"You're not going to believe me but that was my mission from the capitol. I was suppose to freak you out by being nice to you."

I turned and faced him. "I doubt it and don't lie to me."

"Okay I wanted to test out a different personality.'

"It was weird," I told him.

"I know I think I'll just stick to my own personality," he agreed.

"Good I like that one better," I told him. He smiled and continued to stare at me, his face was getting closer and closer.

"Okay! Are you guys ready to see Gale and Minnie?" Cinna asked bursting into the dinning room. Cato cursed and sat properly back down in his seat. We both nodded 'yes' at Cinna and waited for Gale and Minnie. It's a good thing Cinna interrupted us I don't want to know what would happen if he hadn't.

I hoped you guys liked it better then the last chapter which I'm guessing wasn't very good considering I got a lot less reviews then I usually do. So um yeah I'll update soon but first I need to figure out what I'm going to have them wear suggestions would be welcome.

Thank you for your reviews they have all been very positive and they make me so happy. Um so yeah REVIEW!. Now I have to go read the ten unread fan fictions in my in box=). R&R.
