Cato was already down in his seat when Glimmer came down to eat. Snow was there as well and surprisingly so was another woman. She sat to Snow's right like she sat next to Cato's but at the other side of the table. She gave a light smile when she saw Glimmer and Glimmer returned it weakly.

"Morning Glimmer." Snow said like he always did.

"Good morning President Snow."

"This is my wife Malkia. She just recently got out of the hospital so that's why she wasn't here before."

"Oh well, it's very nice to meet you." Glimmer smiled wider, now knowing who it was.

"You too, darling." Malkia nodded.

"Alright so," Cato interrupted, "Glimmer and I are going to do some stuff today. I was wondering if we could borrow the car later?" he asked.

"Why of course. It's so strange to here that you are actually going out." Snow nodded happily.

"Yeah well, I want to show Glimmer around." Cato smiled over at her, placing his hand on hers.

She looked down at it, shocked, and then back up at him with the same expression. He quickly looked down, embarrassed, and took his hand away. Snow missed this since he was too occupied with his newspaper and coffee, but not his wife.

"I'm going to go get ready." Glimmer said quickly and hurried away.

"Glimmer?" Cato called out, knocking on the door.

"Come on in!" she called back.

"Um, you ready to head out?" he asked, peeking into the room.

"Yep, but I thought we were going to go swimming."

"We will, I just want to get out of here. Away from Snow and we can do whatever you want."

"Shopping?" Glimmer gave a sneaky grin.

"I should've known." Cato sighed, but nodded his head with a smile.

"Perfect." She said, bouncing out of the room.

Cato followed behind until he reached Plath's room. He called down the hall and told her to wait by the elevator for him, then made his way in the small room.

"Let me guess, you need advice." Plath said, not looking up from his book.

"Yeah, I'm taking Glimmer out on the town to shop."

"Just compliment her when she wears something nice and tell her nicely that the outfit doesn't work if it doesn't." he shrugged.

"Okay I know that, but how do I get her to like me more? I told you about last night."

"Cato, you need to understand that these things take time and you should be able to do this on your own."

"I can't Plath," Cato pleaded, "I'll only ask for help a few more times I promise. Just give me something!"

"Fine! Carry her bags, pay for her, and maybe take her to a casual restaurant."

"Casual?"

"Yeah, you two aren't dating so it doesn't make sense to take her somewhere fancy."

"Right, right, I got it!" Cato cheered and sprinted down the hall.

"Hey, where were you?" Glimmer asked as Cato came to a halt in front of her.

"Just had to talk to someone." He smiled, pressing the 1 button.

"Okay, hope you're ready to shop till you drop."

"Well, I hope you work up an appetite because I'm taking you out for lunch."

"Then we come home to swim?"

"Yes." He laughed as the doors reopened.

Cato trailed behind Glimmer with ten big bags full of shoes, jewelry, and girly clothing. She strutted ahead of him proudly in her new heels, not even noticing that Cato was struggling to keep up.

"Glimmer!" he shouted as he began to fall.

She quickly turned and hurried to catch him and the bags. "Whoa there partner!" she laughed and helped pick up some bags.

"I guess I should start working out again, huh?"

"Well, I don't know what machine would help you learn how to carry shopping bags."

"I think this is the point where we have someone drop the bags off back home and go get some grub."

"Agreed." Glimmer groaned and helped carry the bags as Cato dialed up a servant.

"What can I do for you two?" the young waiter asked, glancing over at Glimmer.

"Um, I'll have a grilled cheese sandwich with a Pepsi." Glimmer smiled.

"Um, I'll have a cheese burger and coke." Cato said, glaring at the boy checking out Glimmer.

"I'll be right back with that." He said, giving a wink to Glimmer.

She saw how he didn't even try to hide it and smiled seductively at him as he walked back to the kitchen. She leaned back in the chair and checked him out before he disappeared.

"Mmmm," Glimmer made a satisfied noise, "hello." She grinned, twirling her hair.

"Don't look at him." Cato ordered.

"Why?" Glimmer frowned.

"I just don't want you to."

"Cato you're not my boyfriend." Glimmer sneered.

"Yeah, but that doesn't mean you can just flirt with other guys in front of me!"

"Why not? If I'm going to be living here for a while I might as well make some friends."

"You weren't looking to just be friends with him."

"So what? He's cute and seems nice, why can't a think about dating him?"

"He can't provide for you with a crappy minimum wage job!"

"I'm not looking to be provided for! Just someone to hang out with!"

"Why can't you hang out with me?" Cato shouted, slamming his fists on the table.

"Because you always get like this!" she motioned to him.

"Like what?"

"All yelling and shouting and just mean!"

Cato stopped, looking around to see everyone was watching them but he didn't care. Glimmer was glaring hole into him as the waiter came back with their plates, glancing between the two. Cato gave him a glare, earning and kick from Glimmer under the table.

After that they didn't talk or even look at each other the rest of the time. They were silent the whole lunch and when they were standing outside the little café, waiting for their ride.

Cato continued to glance over at her though, not knowing what to say, as they waited and as the car took them back to the mansion. He only figured out something to say once they were pulling up to the front doors.

"Um, are we still going swimming?" he asked, even though Glimmer avoided eye contact.

"I'm not really up for it anymore." She mumbled and stepped out of the car.

She left ass her bags in the trunk along with Cato, knowing someone would bring them to her room. Or well, Cato's room.
