Molly and Gil sit waiting.
Speaker Voice: Molly.
Molly stood up and walked away.
Gil: Hey, Molly! Shoot straight!
She picked up her bow and walks to her evaluation. She walked up to the game makers.
Molly: I'm Molly, from Adventure Bay, former Bubble Tuckian.
She shoots but misses. The game makers laughed at her. She tried again and got it perfect. She got angry because no one was watching. She shot an apple from a pig's mouth. They turned and looked at her, shunned. She bows, "Thank you for your consideration." She walked away.
At the apartment...
Deema: Your crazy!
Molly: I just got mad.
Deema: Mad? Do you realize your actions reflect badly on all of us? Not just you.
Kibosh: They just want a good show, it's fine.
Deema: How about it's bad manners, Kibosh. How about that?
Marshall enters while Deema looked at him, "Finally, I hope you noticed we have a serious situation. " Marshall bows to Molly.
Nice shooting," he said, "what did they do when you got the apple?"
Molly: They were shunned.
"Oh," Marshall laughed, "Now what did you say thanks for?"
Molly: Your consideration.
Marshall: your consider... Genius! Just pure Genius!
Deema: I don't think we are going to find this funny if the game changers decide to take it out.
Marshall: On who? On her? On him? I think they already have this in your corset. Have a drink. I would have given anything to see it.
(Scene changes to the Apollo show)
(Apollo is my OC)
Apollo: As you know, the tributes are scored 1 to 12. After three days of evaluation, the gamekeepers would like to acknowledge. From the underworld, Thatch, with a score of 9, Casper with a score of 10, Mantha with a score of 7, and from Adventure Bay, Gil with a score of eight.
They gasp.
Deema: No way! We can work with that!
Apollo: And finally from Adventure Bay, Molly with 11.
Everyone gasped. The TV turned off.
Gil: Congratulations, Molly!
Molly: I thought they hated me.
Marshall: They must have like that you had guts.
Kibosh makes a toast.
Kibosh: To Molly, the girl on fire.
Meanwhile at Mayor Goodway's Mansion.
Mayor Goodway: And 11
Thurdigree Burns: She earned it.
Mayor Goodway: She shot an arrow at your head.
Thirdegree Burns: At an apple.
Mayor Goodway: Near your head, now sit down.
Thurdigree Burns sits down.
Mrs Hopper: Why do you think we have a winner?
Thurdigree Burns: What do you mean?
Mayor Goodway: I mean why do we have a winner? If we just want to protect from overpopulation let's kill all 24. I mean execute them all, it would be quicker, hope
Thurdigree Burns: hope?
Mayor Goodway: hope is the only thing that is stronger than fear. A little hope is effective, a lot of it is dangerous. A spark is fine as long as it's contained.
Thurdigree Burns: so?
Mayor Goodway: So contain it.
Thurdigree Burns: right
At the apartment...
Deema: Oh Marshall, you should join us. We are having your favorite dinner!
Marshall: Oh lovely.
Molly: Where's Gil?
Marshall: In his room, now listen, tomorrow is the last day of working with the tributes right before the games, So I will be back at nine.
Molly: Well, what about him?
Marshall: He says he wants to train on his own from now on.
Molly: What?
Marshall: This kinda thing does happen, at this point there is only one winner right?
Deema: Wish to have some chocolate covered strawberries!
(scene changes to TV show)
Apollo: Thank you, thank you, you can welcome the tributes! We will interview them soon.
Kibosh: Amazing
Molly: I don't feel so amazing.
Kibosh: Don't you know how beautiful you look?
Molly: No and I don't know how to make people like me. How do you make people like you?
Kibosh: You certainly made me like you.
Molly: That's different. I wasn't trying.
Kibosh: Exactly, just be yourself, I'll be there the whole time. And just pretend your talking to me, okay?
Molly: okay.
Apollo: let's see if she does indeed shine. Let's have one last round of applause for Triclops.
Triclops runs onto stage.
Apollo: Triclops, I am prepared.
Triclops: Yes, see that I'm very prepared.
Apollo: I like it. That assurance, that self assurance. Round of applause! Thatch!
Thatch: woooo!
Angelina walks onto stage.
Apollo: Welcome Angelina
Casper: It's an honor representing my town.
Apollo: Your a fighter.
Casper: I'm prepared, vicious and ready to go!
Apollo: Casper
An applause roars from the audience making Casper smile.
Dummy Girl: I can apply myself to any situation I will be able to figure out.
Apollo: Thank you, lovely to see you, thank you so much.
Goby walked onto the stage.
Apollo: Mantha, you can climb trees. You're pretty quick. Are you a hunter or a gatherer.
Molly walks to stage.
Apollo: From Adventure Bay, you know her as the girl on fire and we know her as the lovely Molly!
An applause roared from the crowd as Molly got onto stage and waved her hand.
Apollo: Welcome! Welcome! (Muffled) Well that was quite an entrance the other day.
Molly: What?
Apollo: I think someone is a bit nervous. I said that was quite an entrance you made the other day at the parade. Do you want to tell us about it?
Molly: I was hoping that I wouldn't burn to death.
The crowd laughed as Molly went off stage.
Deema: You did it, girl! That was a-to the mazing!
Molly: Thank you!
Marshall: Hey Molly, nice job!
Molly: haha, thanks you two.
Marshall: Nice dress too!
He turns to Deema, "Not yours."
Apollo: Please welcome Gil, Gil welcome. How are you finding the Capitol and please don't say a map.
The crowd laughed.
"It's different," Gil said, "Very different then back at home."
"Different?" Apollo asked, "Different in what way? Give us an example."
"Okay," Gil said, "The showers here are different. "
"Showers." Apollo said, "We have different showers."
Gil: I have a question, do I smell like roses to you?
Laughter roars from the audience.
Apollo: erm... Alright, yes I do smell like it.
Gil: You definetly smell better than I do.
Apollo: Well, Ive been here longer.
Gil: That makes sense.
More applause came from the crowd.
Apollo: So Gil, tell me, is there a special girl back at home?
Gil: No, not really.
Apollo: No! I don't believe it for a second. Look at that face! A handsome man like you. Gil, tell me.
Gil: well... Uh... There is this one girl I've had a crush on forever.
Apollo: Ah!
Gil: But I don't think she noticed me until the reaping.
Apollo: Well, I'll tell you what, Gil. You go out there, and you win this thing, and when you go home she'll have to go out with you. Right folks?
Gil: Thanks. But I uh... I don't think winning will help much.
Apollo: And why not?
Gil: Because she came here with me.
Apollo: Well, that's bad luck.
Gil: Yes, it is.
Apollo: And I wish you all the best of luck.
Gil: Thank you.
As Gil walked backstage a very angry Molly grabbed his arm and pinned him against a wall.
Molly: What the heck was that? You don't talk to me over years and now you say you have a crush on me? You Say you wanna train alone? Is that how you play? Huh?
Marshall bites on to Molly's pant leg, "Stop it! Stop it, now! Are you crazy?"
Molly gave Gil a mean and cold stare, "Let's start right now!"
Marshall: He did you a favor.
Molly: He made me look weak!
Marshall: Gil here made you look desirable, which in your case wouldn't hurt.
Kibosh: He's right, Molly.
Marshall: Of I'm right! Now I can sell the star crossed lovers from Adventure Bay!
Molly: We are not star crossed lovers!
Marshall: It's a TV show! And being in love with that boy could get you sponsors which could save your life.
Marshall turns to Gil, "Okay. Why don't you get out of here. Maybe I can deliver you both in one piece tomorrow."
Deema: Manners.
On the last night before the game starts, Molly, unable to sleep, walks into the living room of their allocated living accommodation and sees Gil is also awake.
Molly: Can't Sleep?
Gil: Of course not.
Molly: I'm sorry I went after you.
Gil: You know, I meant that as a compliment.
Molly: I know, Gilly.
Molly smiles at her blue haired friend and sits with him. They watched out the window as they hear crowds cheering for the tributes outside.
