"I'll look out for your mom and Prim again, Catnip." Gale said. He wrapped his arms around Katniss. She buried her face into his shirt and cried. She breathed in the scent of woods mixed with coal-dust.
"Oh - Gale -" She whispered.
"Katniss -" Gale whispered. He pulled her closer. As his lips met hers, Katniss heard a buzzing coming from her hunting bag.
"Gale - I'm sorry - hold on." Katniss pulled out her iPhone and checked it. There was a line of text indicating someone had sent her a message via the Panem Online chat system.
BreadformyKatniss: Hi, Katniss, dear.
Huntergirl: PEETA! THIS HAD BETTER BE GOOD OR I SWEAR OVER SNOW'S DEAD BODY I WILL KILL YOU AFTER I KILL HIM!
BreadformyKatniss: Group chat after dinner. Come to Haymitch's house again 7pm. I'll let you go since I guess *sniff* you were telling the Hunter you were his Girl...HUNTER'S GIRL! :'''[ (sad teary face)
Huntergirl: -4 (MY ARROW) -:( (to YOUR head) WHATEVER, BREAD BOY! BYE!
"Catnip?" Gale asked concerned. He saw Katniss typing away on some little rectangular device with a furious look on her face.
"Nothing. It was just bread boy." Katniss muttered as she tossed her iPhone back into her bag. She smiled at Gale before wrapping her arms around his neck, pushing him up against the nearest tree and kissing him soundly. When the sun began to set, they collected their weapons and game and headed back to Distrct 12.
After dinner, Katniss and Peeta trooped over to Haymitch's house with their iPhones. They signed in and waited for Beetee to begin the chat session.
WhiteandNerdy: Hello everyone, are we all on?
Huntergirl: I'm here. Would rather be killing Snow.
BreadformyKatniss: Present! I alerted my Girl on Fire about our chat tonight :) :) :) :D
Huntergirl: Peeta - I know where you sleep and I can aim through windows!
DrunkSeamGuy: Mmmmmmmfhsdfs
SorryIaxedYou: Haymitch is drunk already? REALLY? *sigh*
NutsformyVolts: I can see the chat but I'll still be working in
WhiteandNerdy: Yes, I know, in your study.
LoveToFish: Heere 1!
HottieinaSpeedo: Sugar cube, anyone?
WhiteandNerdy: I have two pieces of information! The first is there IS a District 13!
Huntergirl: WHAT IN THE FREAKING NAME OF PANEM! You mean there's a whole DISTRICT that hasn't participated in the GAMES and hasn't had to watch tributes die and HASN'T HELPED THE REST OF THE DISTRICTS OUT! WHAT THE HECK!
BreadformyKatniss: Katniss - dear - calm down -
Huntergirl: NO! I will NOT CALM DOWN! Gale and I could've escaped to DISTRICT THIRTEEN if we knew! WHAT THE HECK!
BreadformyKatniss: But - but *sniff* *sniff* then - you wouldn't have - ever - fallen in love with... me! OW! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW - she just slapped me! :( :'''''''[
SorryIaxedYou: Will you two hormonal teenagers just SHUT UP! GEEZ! You could fill half a NOVEL with your drama! Uuuuuuugh! GROSS!
HottieinaSpeedo: Peeta, dude, slip her a sugar cube! Works like a charm!
LoveToFish: Finn don t teaach Peta to b a baad byo boyy!
NutsformyVolts: How does District Thirteen maintain its
WhiteandNerdy: Infrastructure? Good question, hon. I think they have enough people to at least grow food and maintain what machinery they have left after the Dark Days. At any rate, District Thirteen is our ultimate destination. It is underground, just so everyone knows.
HottieinaSpeedo: Noooooooooooooooooooooo! I will loose my sun-kissed tanned skin look underground! :( :( :( Will they have a swimming pool? Ha ha - I work out!
BreadformyKatniss: So even if Hunter Boy and you ran away, you wouldn't have found it since it's UNDERGROUND!
Huntergirl: -4
WhiteandNerdy: ?
BreadformyKatniss: That stands for her arrow - HOLY MOTHER OF SNOW, SHE JUST SHOT ME IN MY LEG!
SorryIaxedYou: [facepalm]
Huntergirl: It was his PROSTHETIC LEG!
WhiteandNerdy: Um - Katniss - if you would do us the courtesy of keeping yours and Peeta's fighting to a minimum in the chat room, that would be great.
Huntergirl: Sorry.
BreadformyKatniss: Ow - I'm back!
DrunkSeamGuy: ? aaaaaa now what?...jjjjjjjj
BreadformyKatniss: Beetee, is there a way to send the chat to Haymich so he sees it when he's sober?
DrunkSeamGuy: - What the heck! District 13.
WhiteandNerdy: Yes, District 13 exists. They have enough room for us when we leave the arena. We will help them with the rebellion as well as with upkeep of the district itself.
NutsformyVolts: I can look around and invent
WhiteandNerdy: Invent better machinery and processes they might not have. Yes, they know that's your specialty :) :)
NutsformyVolts: :*
SorryIaxedYou: Get a room guys. OH GOD - MENTAL IMAGE! :P
HottieinaSpeedo: Or just find a beach.
LoveToFish: O you Kids
WhiteandNerdy: Ok well - the Capital is wondering who's sucking away their 4G! Sign off people! Until next time!
