AN: Hey! Sorry I haven't updated in a while… I've just been really busy. I'm sport captain of a few sport teams at my school, and a lot of pressure was put on me! So, THANK YOU FOR ALL THE REVIEWS, I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!

I'm definitely in love with The Hunger Games, read all the books, know all the names of the actors/characters and everything. But I was curious to see what the parody The Hunger Pains is all about, since my guy friend who also likes THG told me to read it since it's funny. I read it, (don't hate me!) and it is indeed funny! I admit it's disrespectful to THG, but it's funny and the stupidity of it makes you laugh even more. THG beats it by a long shot, but I still like The Hunger Pains. At the end, Kantkiss (Katniss) is about to kill Archie (Cato) but he then declares his love for her (to survive) and she realizes that she loves him. Pita (Peeta) is like he is clearly lying to you to stay alive, but she refuses to listen. They kiss, and then Kantkiss tells three of them to eat the berries so they can all pretend to die, and they won't have a victor. Greg (the announcer) then tells them to stop so there can be three victors. Kantkiss and Archie stop, but Pita eats them. His last words were "I was…so hungry." Kantkiss tries to kiss Archie some more, blah blah blah. Then, after the interview, Archie tells Kantkiss he doesn't love her and walks off. She still thinks he loves her. It's hilarious, but stupid, I would still recommend it if you are looking for a laugh! So technically, it has Catoniss in it. Just one sided, sort of. Don't hate me because I read it!

Sorry for the really long Author's note, here is chapter 14!

Chapter 14: Acting As Lovers

"So, how was the victory tour?" Caesar asks me and Cato, while we snuggle close to each other.

"It was…nice. It was just speeches and things like that, you know." I answer.

"Hmm…well in The Capitol Times, there were quite a few pictures of you two, just before you left to district 1. Care to explain that?" Caesar grins while my face goes red.

Explain that…I never loved him then, it was an act. Cato's idea for an act. Therefore, Cato must be the one to explain it.

"Oh…those pictures. Embarrassing right? For them to catch us doing that right?-" I remember how we set up the chair and positioned each other. They didn't catch us. We planned it. But they don't have any proof, so…

"Cato, honey, what to explain?"

"Just that a bunch of cameras would never stop us."

I hear the audience go wild at Cato's remark, and I curse. The answer was so easy! How could I have not thought of it?

"Ahh…young love. It is truly beautiful, am I right folks?"

Everyone yells in excitement, Caesar definitely has the audience wrapped around his finger.

"So, just tell us more about the victory tour."

…

After the interview ends, Cato and I follow Brutus and Haymitch backstage.

"We heard some strange noises while we were talking downstairs. It was coming from upstairs. What were you two exactly doing?" Haymitch asks, and our faces go red.

"We were…having a "who can make the best animal noise" competition." Cato states, obviously lying.

"Well, you guys certainly sounded like animals. Who knew animals could say "Cato" and "Katniss"?"

"If you already know, what's the point of asking?" I growl, knowing Haymitch is just looking for a good laugh.

"Well, I think you two are getting a little too much into this 'acting as lovers thing'. Or is it not acting anymore? I'm lost."

I remember how I've said I love you to Cato several times now. We both know this isn't acting.

"We're not acting anymore…are we? I'm confused." Cato saids scratching his head.

"What? You saying you said 'I love you' twice for nothing!"

"No, I'm not Katniss…"

"What?" Brutus asks Cato and me.

"You said those three words to her? Cato, what happened to the man I trained?"

"I don't know…he died…in the hunger games…?" Cato's silliness makes me giggle. Ok, maybe he was trying to be serious, but it certainly turned out as a joke to me.

"Wow Cato, that was so funny I actually forgot to laugh." Brutus saids sarcastically.

"But seriously, you guys are in love now? So you're not acting? So you're telling me that Caesar was right, this is a young love story?"

"Yep. That's it. I think." I state, holding Cato's hand tightly.

"Good…" I hear Haymitch mutter, but he doesn't say anything after that.

"Why is it good? Haymitch!" I shout as he and Brutus start to walk away from us.

"You guys do what you want for the next hour! We're then going to sort out where you guys are living then!"

…

"Cato…how are we going to sort out the housing? I don't want to separate from you…"

"I don't either. Katniss, don't you think you're a bit…clingy?"

"What?"

"I said-

"I heard you. But, it's just because-"

"You're afraid of losing me? Katniss, we've been through that. I'm not going to leave you. I'm. Not. Going. To. Leave. You. Understand?"

I nod my head and give Cato a peck on the lips. He has friends back home…will he be willing to sacrifice not seeing them as often for me?

"Yes I will, Katniss. Also, yes, you said that aloud." Cato laughs, and gives me a passionate kiss on the lips which I happily kiss back to.

"You really want to live in district 12?"

"Hey, I'm living with you. It's worth it. Besides, I'm going to visit district 2 regularly." He saids before giving me another kiss.

"I don't mind…"

"Good, because like I said I don't like it when you're clingy."

"But you never said that!"

"I just did now!"

…

"So how are the houses going to be sorted out?" Brutus asks as we're (Brutus, Cato, Haymitch and I) sitting on a table discussing the housing.

"Me and Cato have decided that he'll be living with me in district 12; but he will visit district 2 regularly."

"Are you sure Cato?" Brutus asks Cato one last time.

"Positive." He replies, pecking my cheek sweetly.

"Okay…that's a start." I hear Haymitch whisper to Brutus.

What is going on? Haymitch is hiding something…I need to know what it is.

"So now what?" I hear Cato question our mentors.

"We will be leaving the train tonight. Just a warning, we will be visiting the Capitol after living a 'normal life' for a while. Don't know when, just soon."

"Ok…."

Whatever Haymitch is hiding, must have to do with the Capitol.

"Fine by us."

For some odd reason, I start to think about what happened with me and Cato.

How we touched each other in ways hard to describe.

It felt magical. I loved every bit of it.

It feels special that I lose my virginity to Cato.

Cato Lennox.

"Katniss, Haymitch is talking about how I'm living with your family. Are you even listening?" Cato asks me, as I then stop thinking.

"Oh, I'm sure my family will be fine with it." I smile to reassure Cato that they will be fine with it. But Gale…I'm not sure…

"Good…Katniss is being positive towards Cato." Haymitch then again mutters to Brutus.

Ok, I have to know.

"What the hell is going on? Haymitch is whispering crap about me and Cato! I want to know what the hell is going on!" I yell, as everyone then freezes in their spot because of my sudden outburst.

"Katniss…I was waiting until next time we go to the Capitol to tell you."

"Tell me what?"

"You have to marry Cato."

…
