Chapter Seven: The Memory.
Mere hours later, Effie finds the three of them on the floor, lying in a triangular formation, singing Fall Out Boy songs. She places the tray of soup down and looks at them, curiously, then asks "Are the three of you going to lie there all day or do you want food?"
The speed the three sit up at is laughable. "Food?!" they chorus, looking excited.
"Honestly, you three, you act like you'll never be fed again! Yes, I've brought spiced minestrone soup," Effie laughs.
"Effie, you are an angel sent from Heaven above," Haymitch tells her, practically drooling.
"Don't you mean Hell Above, Haymitch? Because that's what Pierce The Veil said..." Allie smirks.
"That, too," Haymitch concedes, taking a bowl from Effie's tray.
Effie smiles and asks "Band girls?"
"Band trash as," Cat nods, taking a bowl of soup.
Allie adds "That's been our way of life since we were fifteen."
Haymitch grins and mutters "Same here..."
"Haymitch, I could do with some help. Katniss is still in shock over Primrose and she's got the execution tonight," Effie tells him, biting her lower lip worriedly as she remembers Katniss's state.
"I'll come help you. Should we get someone to look after these two and make sure they don't give themselves Mountain Dew induced heart attacks?" Haymitch asks.
"Oh! Of course!" Effie exclaims, beaming at the very surprised Allie and Cat.
"That's kind of you, but we actually don't need babysitting," Allie says, looking at Haymitch and Effie with wide eyes.
"Nonsense, dear! We'll bring Phoenix in. He'll show you two around," Effie trills, then grabs Haymitch's arm and drags him with her.
"I guess it's just like old times, Allie," Cat sighs.
"Yeah. We don't get listened to. The only things that are good about their arrangements are the chance to see this place for real and the chance to find out why I recognise that Phoenix guy. You know him too, right?" Allie asks, her face filled with curiosity.
"I admit, he seems familiar," Cat nods, something crossing her eyes, too much like a memory for Allie to be okay with it. "We'll find out when he comes to collect us if he's him."
Her eyes lock with Allie's and the girls nod once, sealing their pact as Phoenix knocks on the door and calls "Allie? Cat? Come on!"
"Ready?" Allie asks.
"Ready," Cat nods.
