It was 30 minutes into the ball, Gale eagerly yet politely pushed through the crowds of dancing people, trying to get to Madge. He could see her radiant smile from across the room, her golden hair falling around her angelically as her dress made her glow even more. He kept trying to get to her, to just see her but the town girls kept pulling him back, wanting to talk to the "handsome Gale"

"Oh Gale, member that kiss behind the school. Let's reenact that again," Violet purred as she came closer to Gale, her dark dirty hair clinging to her face. Gale tried backing up but stopped when he felt a body pressed on his back and tiny hands covering his eyes.

"Guess who?" a soft perky voice asked. He smiled knowing exactly who it was. He took the hands and turned around, unexpectly twirling her and capturing her in his arms. He ignored the other girls as they huffed and walked away and only focused on Madges giggles.

She looked up at him, her eyes wide and sparkling.

"We're they friends of yours?" She said, her lips trying to hide a playfully smile.

"They wish," Gale smiled, leaning closer down, pressing his forehead to hers. But she pulled away.

"Oh they wish? Do I wish?" She teased, pursing her lips.

"Oh no," Gale shook his head before getting closer to her again, not wanting to be away from her. "You already have me,"

She smiled at that. "well sense I do, let's dance," She said before grabbing his hand and gently pulling him outside to the dance floor. The soft lights twinkling against the dark skies of District 12. She let out a small sigh at the beauty before realizing the song that was playing.

"Oh I love this song!" She chirped.

"Then lets dance," Gale said before twirling her out to the floor.

And for the next 10 minutes, it was filled with the same routine. Madge would smile when a new song came on and would say "I love this song," And Gale would just laugh and continue dancing, holding her close. But after awhile Gale noticed something.

"I love this song!" Madge said again.

Gale laughed, "But Madge, you love every song!"

"Exactly, If i keep saying it we won't stop dancing," Her voice was so young and shy.

He smiled at how adorable and pure she was. He opened his mouth to say something but then his mom cut in, placing her hands gingerly on his broad shoulder, a warm smile on her soft face.

"Oh Madge you look absolutely beautiful!" Gales mother said in adoration.

Madge blushed, "Thank you, as do you,"

"Actually I wanted to thank you for that. Thank you so much for finding this dress! How did you even-,"
"My dad has great memory," Madge smiled, (There parents went to same school when they were younger) "I'm really glad that's the dress, it was no problem."

Gales mom smiled, trying to hold back small tears. She cleared her throat, before trying to fix Gales hair. "Well I will leave you 2 alone, let me just fix… his… hair,"

"Mom its fine," he said as he cringed.

Madge only laughed. "Mrs. Hawthorne he looks great,"

Gales mom smiled "Oh, she's a keeper. She likes you when you're messy," She teased before squeezing his shoulders in a hug form before leaving.

Gale turned back, a little embarrassed. "Well.. . let's hope we don't have any more interruption. We have 5 days to make up for," He said as he wrapped his arms around her, soaking in her presence.

"Well it looks like you will have to go 5 more minutes," a dark voice said. They both immediately turned to see the District 2 mayor looking at them with sharp cold eyes, an annoyed, evil look on his thin lips.

"May I have this dance?" he held out his fat hand.

Madge just looked at him, trying to remain calm. "I'd prefer not," She said as nicely as she could.

"Don't be rude girl," He huffed before forcefully pushing Gale out the way and grabbing Madge on the waist. She huffed and stared at him with angered eyes.

"So is he the boy?"

"Excuse me?" Madge said, truly confused. She pushed her thin eyebrows together and tilted her head a little.

"I don't like you,"
Madge was a little taken aback by change in conversation but she responded "But I didn't do anything to you,"

"You did. You embarrassed me in front of everybody and now you're having this party which will be the talk of Panem and you, the starlight. I don't like that. All eyes should be on District 2." His voice grew dark and irrated as his hands clenched on her waist.

"Well sorry you couldn't keep the attention." Madge snapped back and before the mayor could say anything rude back Gale cut back in, putting a strong hand on the mayors' shoulder.

"I think that's long enough." He says in a strong, demanding voice. The mayor looks back at him angrily before walking off. Gale gently turns to Madge, gently holding her, stroking her face.

" Are you okay?"

She just laughed at that, her voice full of sarcasm," No he shot me with lasers. Yeah I'm fine. You?"

Gale shook his head. "Actually no I'm not. There's something I've been dying to do for so long now," He said before opening his eyes to look at her. His strong grey eyes determined and he didn't hesitate, he went in for a kiss.

The moment there lips touched, fireworks exploded in the sky, physically and mentally. Madge smiled into the kiss before pulling away to look up at the sky, watching all the colors explode into the dark air. She laughed, shaking her head at the ironicness of how the fireworks she saw represented how she felt when she was with Gale. She smiled before turning back to him, leaning up on her tippy toes and pulling him in for a passionate kiss.
