Chapter 9

Haymitch.

"Wait a second… WHAT? Haymitch?"

"OH OH PICK ME! KATNISS PICK ME!" Haymitch squawks enthusiastically. Katniss face palms herself.

"Maybe we should spin it again." Peeta suggests.

"Yes, that's a good idea." Katniss agrees.

"No! That's not fair! It landed on me! The bottle of death is pointing at me! See! See! See! Look! Just look! It's right there just staring back at me! Wait… it's glaring at me! THE BOTTLE IS GLARING AT ME! Oh mighty bottle, please spare me!" Haymitch howls while bowing down to his liquor bottle.

"Yep, let's spin the bottle again." Katniss says as she nods her head.

"NO! LET THE BOTTLE SPEAK!" Haymitch snatches the bottle from the floor and places it on his ear.

"It speaks. It speaks to me. Welcome almighty bottle of the east. Oh. Oh I see. Yes I understand. Thank you so much bottle of death. Do you have a name? Bob? That's a beautiful name. Okay, thank you Bob for reaching out to us." Haymitch murmurs.

"What the hell was that?" Katniss asks.

"Didn't you hear Bob? She was so dizzy from all the spinning and she said that she chose me! So we are not spinning the bottle again!"

"She?"

"Yes, she! Gosh, do you ever listen Katniss?"

"Um… Yes but not to hallucinating drunks I don't…"

"Katniss is being mean. Stupid girls. SO LET'S DO THIS! What are we doing again?"

"Um Haymitch truth or dare?"

"OR!"

"Haymitch. Listen. Very. Carefully. To. The. Words. That. Are. Coming. Out. Of. My. Mouth. Truth. Or. Dare. You. Can't. Pick. Or. You. Can. Pick. Truth. You. Can. Pick. Dare. Are. You. Understanding. Any. Of. The. Words. That. Are. Coming. Out. Of. My. Mouth?" Katniss slowly says, stressing every single word she says.

"OH! NOW I GET IT! DARE THEN SINCE I'M SUCH A PARTY ANIMAL!" Haymitch hoots.

"Okay then. I dare you to go sit over there in the corner of the room and stay there."

"But Katniss! You're acting like such a mom! Wait… are you my mommy?"

"Haymitch, it is impossible for me to be your mom. You are like 30 years older than me."

"Fine then. I'll go sit somewhere else…" Haymitch saunters to the corner of the room and he takes a swig of his grape juice.

"Okay let's play some proper truth or dare now." Katniss spins the bottle again and it lands on Peeta.

"Truth or dare?"

"Um… truth." Peeta gazes at Katniss making her feel uncomfortable again.

"Okay. Name all of the crushes and girlfriends you've ever had."

"Well… I've never had a girlfriend because I've always been waiting to ask my crush out but I've always been too scared…"

"HAHA! WIMP!" Haymitch roars with laughter.

"Haymitch, shut up or I'll take the grape juice away." Katniss threatens.

"But-but- fine…"

"Okay, I'll continue. Well, Katniss I love you and I always have since the moment I saw you." Peeta smacks his lips onto Katniss. When he pulls away, his face becoming at least 10 different shades of red.

"Hahahaha!" Cato and Finnick burst into laughter.

"What?" Peeta asks.

"Do you have any idea how wimpy and pathetic you look! You admit to Katniss that you love her then you give her that pathetic smack on the lips you can barely call a kiss." Cato sneers.

"Shut up! At least I can admit to the person I like, I like her. You can't even admit to Clove."

"I don't like Clove!"

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever you say big boy. So Katniss, do you like me back?"

"Um, well… I don't know."

"Finnick! You said that this would work!"

"Oops." Finnick says sheepishly.

"What? You and Finnick?"

"Well… I've sort of been asking Finnick for dating advice…"

"HAHAHAHA! The heart throb Finnick? Wow, Peeta, way to look desperate." Cato laughs.

"Can we just get on with the game guys?" Glimmer whines. Peeta nods his head and slowly climbs to the middle and spins the bottle. As he's got his back turned to Katniss, Katniss moves away from his place in the circle as she possibly can. "Things can't possibly get weirder or more awkward than this." Katniss thinks but this is truth or dare, things always get weird. The bottle comes to a stop and it's pointing at…

A/N: Guys I LOVE YOU! I actually love you! I mean 65 reviews! Are you kidding me! I'm so happy so that's why I'm giving you guys an early chapter :) Also, please please please take a look at my other story "Incurable Love". One of you guys suggested that I get Peeta to make out with Katniss but that's a little bit too forward so I guess you'll just have to settle for this. Again, I LOVE YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH! If I knew you guys and saw you on the street I would literally give you a hug and maybe a peck on the cheek. Okay maybe not since that would be a little weird but I'm giving all you guys cyber hugs and kisses!

Goal: Again, don't think that you have to review this. It's just a motivation sort of thing for me! So if you can help me reach 70 reviews, I'll give you a new chapter by Sunday. If you guys can reach 75 then it's Saturday. If you guys can reach 80 then I'll update on Friday! Thank you thank you thank you. I love you guys so much! And the more reviews, the faster updates. :)
