Clove

After yet another elevator trip Enobaria led us through a few concrete hallways to guess what? Another concrete hallway! Except this one was connected to the back stage of Caesar's theatre. It was apparently torn down and rebuilt after the announcement of the Quell to make it bigger and, according to Arabella, 'more spectacular' . Apparently now after you've been interviewed, instead of going backstage after your interview, you have to go and stand on a pedestal. Wonderful. Cato was there along with Brutus, talking to our buddies from 1. Brutus looked our way and grinned, then elbowed Cato. His sexy face lit up into one of his 100 watt smiles, which mine probably doing as well. He had on a dark grey suit with a crimson shirt underneath to match my dress. He jogged over to meet us, I would have met him halfway but anything besides walking and twirling is a physical impossibility in this dress. He leaned down to kiss me, which I was eagerly going to meet him halfway with, but instead of meeting his soft lips, I met a piece of paper. Arabella had shoved a blank index card in between us. Both of us jumped back in surprise.

"No no no, not kissing before the interview. Clove you will smear your lipstick and Cato will have red lip stains on him.", Arabella scolded. Both Brutus and Enobaria were leaning against the wall laughing. Well I'm glad to see someone finds it funny…

"Alright, alright Arabella we get it. No kissing.", Cato rolled his eyes and shooed her off.

"I want at least 4 inches between you two!" She hollered as she walked away.

"Well hello there gorgeous."

"Hello to you too sexy."

"Enobaria share the whole interview plan with you?"

"Course. Fierce and flirty, darling. Fierce and flirty."

Cato grinned and kissed me on the cheek, then checked to make sure Arabella hadn't seen. An avox ushered us into line behind Cashmere and Gloss, who after awhile were ushered onto the stage. The show was being played live on the opposite wall of the hallway so we could all see. Enobaria was right, the prima donna twins poured out a sob story. It really made me wanna gag, but the Capitol people, yes including my gremlins, were crying their little glittered eyes out.

"We're not going by choice. You are our family, I don't see how anyone could have loved us better." Gloss said solemnly to the audience. Cashmere began to sob.

"I'm sorry I just can't stop crying. It's been so hard, having to say goodbye not just do my beloved Gloss, but also to all of you. You have all treated us so well. I-I wish we didn't have to say goodbye.", Cashmere sobbed. The two hugged each other tightly and the audience began to shout for the Games to end.

" Damn, she's laying it on thick.", Cato muttered.

"You think it'll be enough?", I looked up at him.

"Who knows."

A stage hand came and motioned for us to come backstage. Cato grabbed my hand and entwined our fingers, then led us up the steps and behind the stage. We heard Caesar rap up the interview before announcing us.

"Now folks, we bring to you from District 2, husband and wife, Cato and Clove!", Caesar announced.

I glanced at Cato then squeezed his hand. He squeezed back and led us out onto the stage. I plastered on my a glare as did Cato as we walked on stage, making sure we glare at everyone in the audience. When we came to our spots next to Caesar, I placed my left hand on my hip and allowed my weight to shift onto that leg. Cato coiled his arm around me tightly before turning to give a confident grin to Caesar.

"Cato! It's been awhile since we last talked. I do wish it was under better circumstances though." Caesar began.

"As do I, Caesar, as do I."

"But this time, you have brought your stunning wife Clove!", the audience began to cheer again.

"Hello Caesar. It's a pleasure to meet you as well as all these lovely people here tonight! Cato has told me such wonderful things about the people of the Capitol. When I got here though, I found that it was all an understatement!", I chuckled. The audience went nuts at that. This'll be easier than I thought it would be.

"Although Caesar, I do wish I had more time to explore the wonders of the Capitol as well.", I sighed.

"Tell me Clove, are you worried about the Games? Many of these tributes are past victors, including your husband. How do you feel?"

"I'm not worried at all Caesar. I just didn't get the chance to prove how dangerous I can be before now. I'm quite confident that I can hold my own against the others."

"I'm sure I speak for all of us here when I say I can't wait to see how dangerous you can be. Right folks?!" the crowd cheered in response.

"So Cato, you will have to go against your wife in the arena. The thought must take its toll. What's been going through your head?"

"It tears me apart Caesar…But I know that the people of the Capitol are to good to choose for this tragedy to happen. I've been trying not to think about it."

"And what about you Clove?"

"It's like Cato said Caesar. The thought is unbearable and the thought tears me up inside. If only there was a way for this to stop this… I would do anything.", I said solemnly. The crowd began calling for the Games to be cancelled.

"Thank you both for taking the time to share this with us. Unfortunately we are out of time. Ladies and gentlemen, Cato and Clove!", Caesar announced. I put on a flirtatious smile and winked at the crowd before walking to one of the two staircases that led up to a second tear where 24 pedestals stood. Cashmere and Gloss occupied the first two, respectively. Cato helped me up onto the 3rd before stepping onto the 4th. I kinda zoned out for Beetee and Wiress, but I came back to Earth halfway through Finnick and Mags. Mags didn't say anything, just nodded yes or no. Finnick Recited a poem, which was most obviously for Annie. Even though those Capitol twits thought it was for one of them. It was kinda funny to watch people in the audience faint though. When they walked by Finnick paused for a moment.

"How many fainted?", he whispered.

" At least 100." I whispered back. Cato gave him a discreet high five. In all honesty I didn't bother to pay attention to 5 and 6. Then came Johanna and Blight. Turns out they were both picked together because neither had families and they were sort of friends.

"We have seen a lot of tears tonight. But I see no tears in Johanna's eyes. Johanna, you are angry.", Caesar said.

"Well yes, I'm angry. You know, I'm getting totally screwed over here. The deal was that if I win the Hunger Games I get to live the rest of my life in peace, but now, you want to kill me again. Well, you know what? Fuck that. I said fuck everybody that had anything to do with it!", she screeched. Caesar was paralyzed from shock, as was the audience. I covered my mouth with my hands trying not to laugh but failing miserably. Finnick ended up doubled over in laughter as was Cato. Cashmere was running a hand through her blonde curls while chuckling and Gloss, like me, had his hand over his mouth laughing. After being escorted up to the pedestal by Blight, Johanna stepped up onto her pedestal and crossed her arms. Caesar awkwardly continued. Blah blah blah more people. And then of course District 12. Katniss joked around with Caesar for a bit then WABAM THE WEDDING DRESS TURNED INTO A MOCKINJAY DRESS WHEN SHE SPUN! Okay, seriously, mad props to her stylist Cinna on that one. Then Peeta dropped the married in secret thing, which of course got everyone in an uproar. Not the only married couple buddy, hate to rain on your parade. At least ours is real and not some stunt…

Then the baby bomb. I gotta admit, I did not see that one coming. It' s gotta be an act, right? I glanced over at Cato who was just as shocked as I probably was. That really had everyone calling for the cancellation of the Games. The two made their way up onto the pedestals, and then held hands. Katniss grabbed the guy from 11's hands, and the chain continued. When it reached Cato, he paused for a moment, as if thinking on it, before taking Wiress' hand and then mine. I grabbed Gloss' hand who then took hold of Cashmere. We all held our joined hands up in the air, following Katniss' lead. Then the lights went out, probably to try and cover it up. Stage hands ushered us quickly off the stage. I was going to go and talk to Johanna, but we weren't given the chance. We were shoved into an elevator, along with Brutus who was holding back an annoyed Enobaria who was threatening to tear out someone's throat if they manhandled her again. Boy aren't people from 2 pleasant. Enobaria composed herself when the doors closed.

"Nice job guys! Had them eating outta your hand.", Enobaria cheered.

"Till 12 stole the show.", Cato grunted.

"Screw them. Anyway, if it helps in the attempt to cancel the show, then good on them."
