A/N:

THE INTERVIEWS! FINALLY! :D okay, there are 5 interviews, but I wanted to shorten it, so I cut it down to two! The faster these next to chapters go, the faster we get to the games and the SYOT :) Enjoy the interviews!

Chapter 9-Rose Cune

"Rosaline Cune!"

I stood up from the plush couch and waved to the audience before taking my seat across from Flicker. "Well, well, well! An 11 in training! Very impressive and the second best score!"

"Thank you," I smiled genuinely. I'd been a bit surprised myself, but obviously not in a bad way. "It's a great feeling, to know I'm doing well. Oh, and you can call me Rose."

"Alright, Rose and I can imagine so! Now, I'd like to speak for many people in saying you look stunning!" The audience stomped and applauded again as I felt myself blush.

"Thank you again," I smiled a bit, sure I was beat red. My looks weren't exactly my best feature, and I knew they'd had to do a lot of work.

"Anyways, now for more serious matters. How is your alliance coming together?" Flicker asked, still grinning at me.

"Well, it's pretty good. I think there'll be a lot of talent going into the alliance. I just hope it doesn't get too violent if we split." I'd been trying to be optimistic in using 'if'. I'd seen the Games and a lot of alliances die at that point, and not too quickly. I'd be glad to help Liam, Fang and Jareth, but I was trying to avoid the split. I wanted to win, but not so much that I'd torture people.

"True, but I have a feeling you'll be a good leader," he smiled again. I wondered vaguely if his cheek bones ever hurt or got cramped up.

I shrugged. "I hope so. If not, wish me luck!" I smiled nervously at the camera.

"I'm sure you'll do very well. What do you think your biggest push to get home is?" I had to think for a moment. The first thing that came to mind was so I could keep living. Family wasn't huge, my dad left my mom while she was pregnant with me and mom died when I was two. My older sister Vickie and her four bratty boys aren't exactly the picture perfect family to live with.

"My best friend, Dana." I blurted out, unable to think of much else. "I mean, sure survival and all, but I really want to be able to see her again," I said trying not to go into a long speech about her. That would just be annoying. No, I thought I did pretty well. Just enough information for sympathy, but not too much.

"I hope you will," Flicker again smiled, but a bit more sincerely. Then my timer went off. "One more time for Miss Cune!" More mad cheers as I smiled for a few pictures then walked off stage.

A/N:

BAH that interview is finished! Alright, well one of my friends was asking about the upcoming SYOT and asked if I had considered doing "Romances". I honestly didn't! That's all up to you guys! Does anyone like the idea of having some "Romances"? If so PM me! You can have a romance with a malexmale malexfemale or femalexfemale! Just let me know and it will be done. A lot of people like the idea of "District Romances" so that's another option as well. Have fun and may the odds be EVER in your favor! :)
