"Is it okay if Finnick, Maple, and Willow stay with us for a small vacation?" I asked mom. She would be almost impossible to sell. I mean, she was always so stubborn and picky! But we loved her anyway. And calling her stubborn and picky is like calling me stubborn and picky, because apparently I got most of my traits from her.

"I don't know." She said hesitantly. She hates having 2 teenagers, but she couldn't handle 5 of them. In one small and confined house. Maybe the idea wouldn't turn out so great after all. But if it keeps Maple and Finnick here for longer, then it would be fine.

"Grandpa, tell her I need a social life since no one at school will hang out with me because of my name. They call me Looney." I said giving Haymitch my best pout-y face. He was wrapped around my finger. I still needed to learn about why I was named Luna and what the inside joke was.

Whenever I asked mom or dad, they did the 'I'll-tell-you-when-you're-older' thing.

"Oh come on, Katniss, let the girl have a life." Haymitch said, trying for my sake. He almost had her! With the intense look dad was giving her, she seemed about ready to crack!

"Mom, she totally deserves a break. She walks me home from school every day, set me up with some friends, and she even helps me with homework." Devin said smoldering mom with a glare too. I don't know why he was helping my case though. You could practically see mom crack underneath his gaze. So it took dad, Grandpa, and Devin to get mom to crack.

"I suppose if it's alright with Annie and Johanna." Mom said huffily.

"Thanks mom!" I squeaked. Normally I never win with her. I pulled her into a hug and she stroked my hair.

"Sure, kids. But we'll have to go back and pack your bags." Annie said.

"I already took care of it, mom. My bags are upstairs." Finnick said trying to help me sell my mom on the idea. She was possibly the most stubborn person in the world! Next to me, of course. This was important if Finnick was helping me again.

"Yeah, and Finnick and I already share enough clothes." Willow said.

"And Luna can lend me something." Maple said as I nodded.

"Okay, fine." Johanna said rolling her eyes.

"We've won. But Willy, if you don't want to do our quest, then you'll be watching movies with Devin." I said as we quietly tiptoed away. Willy was a huge analytical person. Any movie he wants to watch would be the history of the butterfly or something along those lines.

"Fine by me. I love analyzing a spectacular documentary about-." Willow said as we quietly went upstairs while he was in his movie analogue.

"So do we have any lead on who C.S. is?" Maple asked.

"No, but for now, let's work on opening the diary." I suggested.

"Maybe we should try brute strength." Finnick suggested. I shrugged and he gave it a try. But he failed!

"Maybe I should try it." I offered.

"Please, you can't lift 25-pounds." Finnick said rolling his eyes. As mean as the crack was, it was true. I just wasn't very muscle-y.

"I wish you would open." I sighed to the book trying to pry the lock open. It didn't budge and Finnick laughed.

"I don't understand why you're laughing, you lift over 100 pounds and you couldn't open it." I said.

"So clearly it isn't a test of strength. But what it is then?" Maple asked.

"I don't know. But we should go downstairs and watch the movie before we raise suspicions." I said as we nodded and went off.

"What are you watching?" I asked Devin.

"A History Movie about Panem." He answered.

"Kids! Turn that off!" Grandpa Haymitch yelled forcing the remote out of Devin's hand and shutting off the power.

Grandpa wasn't known for being completely sane, but that was weird. Even for him. And then the power went out and Maple screamed; she was notoriously known for being afraid of the dark.

"Maple, its fine. Just a little power outage." I said going upstairs to go get candles and flashlights. But something was glowing in my bedroom. I curiously crept in and saw that my pillow was glowing. The diary!

I grabbed blankets, candles, and flashlights and ran back downstairs.

"Took you long enough." Uncle Ash said.

"I couldn't reach the shelves." I said, using my shortness as an excuse.

"Guys, I need to tell you something." I said pulling everyone under the blanket.

"The diary was glowing. That's what took so long, I had to move it." I whispered very quietly.

But Finnick does not know how to be quiet!

"IT GLOWED?!" Finnick exclaimed.

"Yes Finnick! My pet firefly glowed!" Maple exclaimed covering for his stupidity. I could hear Johanna and Ash laughing.

And then Finnick and Maple started yelling at each other.

"Shut up!" I fake-sneezed.

We stopped talking and we ducked our heads out of the blanket.

"Right, well... we made a fort." I said pathetically to our parents. Mom seemed suspicious, but dad just smiled. Annie and Johanna laughed at us and Uncle Ash was shaking his head at us. Like they've never made forts.

Then the power turned back on. Finally, an excuse to run upstairs and pretend that the fort thing never happened.

"Right, well... I'm rather tired tonight. I think I will go upstairs and go to bed. Coming Maple?" I asked hurrying out of there.

I sighed in relief and we got Maple a blow up mattress.

I woke up really early when Finnick began jumping on my bed. I rolled onto my stomach and he started kicking my butt, literally.

"Okay! That's enough! What? It's only 5 a.m." I said.

"I thought of something in my sleep." Finnick said grinning.

Maybe he wasn't as stupid as he let people think.

Not really any mystery in this one. Sorry, but I thought I should let everyone see the relationships and everything. So Luna manages to talk her mom into letting Finnick and Maple stay, thoughts on that?

What do you guys think should happen next? And who are you all shipping? Leave me some reviews! I have up to Chapter 14 mostly done, plot wise. But there are going to be more than 14 chapters! Definitely!
