I'm Yours, You're Mine

She is a victor. she fought hard for her freedom in the arena, but like so many others, the Capitol made her pay the consequences. She is Victoria Shores, victor of the 61st Hunger Games, and this is her story. BTW, everything is pushed back ten years, so Finnick won the 55th, etc. Katniss/Peeta still win the 74th, though. Rated T because people die violently in the arena. (Duh)

25. Chapter 25

Sorry it's so short! I have a test everyday for the next week! And thanks to PrimIsTheBomb (guest) for reviewing! I wish I had a boyfriend like that, too! And I love your username! (It's a pun I've used many times to annoy the heck out of my friends at school!)

Disclaimer: I don't own the Hunger Games.

"Get up, ViV! Today's a big day!" "Ugh, come on Marlin, it's my first day back, can't I sleep in?" "But I have a surprise for you," he says, pulling on the sleeve of my shirt. What'sthe surprise?" "Well, Liza took the information she says you told the girl from 1- "Madeline. And she took what she says I said? Did you even watch my games, Marlin?"

He hangs his head. "Only the parade and the scores, and the interviews." "Why didn't you watch?" I say angrily, sitting up. "I tried. It- it was too painful." I nod, because that's understandable. "Anyway, she took the info and got the decorations. And a folder full of wedding dresses for you to pick from."

"Spit it out, the suspense is killing me," I complain. "Okay, okay, you get to pick out a dress for tonight." I sit up straight. "TONIGHT?!" He nods. I jump up and literally drag him down the stairs. "Wait. You can't see my dress. That's bad luck," I say suddenly, halfway down the stairs. I relinquish my grip on his wrist. He holds his hand and rubs the red marks on it. I guess I have a strong grip. "How 'bout I help you narrow it down?" he asks. I narrow my eyes, and he makes a pouty face. "Fine. But only 'cause you make an adorable puppy face."

"I see the one I want!" I say after he finishes laying them out on the table. He goes to get Liza while I put them back into their folder. Liza comes in and hugs me. I push Marlin out of the room and show her the one I want. She takes the picture and leaves through the side door..

Marlin wraps me in a bear hug, and I hug him back tightly. "I can't wait to see you in that dress walking towards me," he whispers in my ear. "You know, Marlin, now that I've caught you in my net, I'm never letting you go," I whisper back. "Are you kidding? You didn't catch me, I literally swam into the net."
