Okay, so i just completely contradicted myself in the last chapter. I said, i'm not going to make Gale look like a freak, then what do I do? I make one of my favorite characters look like a freak! Okay, I don't care if i make anyone look like a freak now... it's too late to redeem them now haha! :) I'm just so excited for this story though! So yea enjoy and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW!
Why were they here? Haymitch was supposed to be drunk. No, I looked at him again. He was definately drunk. Why was Effie here them? Wasn't she supposed to be in the Capitol until the Quarter Quell?
"There they are," says Haymitch giddily. Yup, I was right. The guy was definately drunk.
"I can see that," answers Effie exasperated. Haymitch swings an arm around Effie. Effie shakes his arm off as soon as it makes contact. I can tell that she does not care for Haymitch at all, especially when he's drunk.
"Hey, Haymitch. Hey, Effie," I say. Wow that sounded weird. Hey Haymitch. Maybe I should just say Haymitch. Get it? Get it? Oh forget it!
Effie, always the proper one corrects me. "It's not hey it's hello. Hay is for horses young man!
"Uh... why are you here?" asks Gale.
Effie explains. "I came back to District Twelve because I forgot my rainbow colored wig when I came here last time. I searched everywhere for that wig when I came to Haymitch's house. Then I thought that Haymitch will know where my wig is! So then I go inside Haymitch's house and find him passed out. I try everything to get him to wake up. Lip gloss, glass bottles, heavy metal music, and even my cell phone ringtone! Then-"
I interrupt, "As much as we would love to hear the nice story Effie, could you just tell us why you're here?"
"Don't interrupt people young man! It's very rude! It's almost as horrible as having bad table manners!" scolds Effie. Then she freaks out and goes into a fetal postision muttering "Bad table manners". As if it couldn't get any weirder.
Haymitch says, "She found me and I told her you two were here talking." Short and sweet. Well maybe not sweet. "So what are you doing here?"
Gale doesn't say anything. He just gives me a glare that says dont' say anything to this drunk.
Poor Haymitch is always misunderstood.
Haymitch sees the glare and chuckles. "I remember that look. It's the same look Cray gave me when we were fighting over a girl."
Both Gale and I stand there, shocked.
"I'm not that drunk. I only had one drink before I heard Effie at the door. So I pretended I was really drunk to freak her out." Haymitch winks. Effie is still on the ground, oblivious.
"Even the arm around her shoulders?" asks Gale.
Haymitch nods the slightest nod.
"There's only one way to solve your problem," he continues. "a duel."
"I was going to do that!" whines Gale. Man, Gale, want some bread with that wine?
"Wow... ," Haymitch and I say in unusion.
Effie perks up. "A duel? There's only one way to have a perfect duel! Follow me!"
Effie leads us back into Victors' Village, all of us parading behind her until we get to my house. She gets a set of keys out of her purse and unlocks my door.
"Stay out here, I'll be back in a few minutes!" Perky as always Effie. Not even bad table manners could phase you now.
We wait outside my door for Effie for half an hour. Haymitch tells us how there used to be this sport once called football. Every year they had this thing called the Super Bowl and almost everyone in the country would watch it. One year this team that were kind of like underdogs won. Pretty impressive. It's almost like Katniss and I winning the Hunger Games, only this sport didn't seem as deadly.
Effie comes back out.
"Okay, a train is going to come in a few minutes to pick us up. When we get there, we'll find coaches for you two.
"What? Wait hold on, what are you talking about?" I ask Effie.
"I just called the Capital. We're going to send you two into the arena."
We all stand there shocked.
Then Effie continues, "To fight to the death." She adds "Dun dun DUN!" and notices something on the ground. "OOOHH LOOK! SOMETHING SHINY!" Then she picks up a penny.
So I'll end the chapter there because it's an awesome cliffhanger! Uh yea okay I don't know what to say except that I appreciate ALL your reviews! : ) They make me feel special! So am I the only one who thinks that Peeta's theme song should be You belong with me ? Yea probably. Sorry that just popped into my head. And it's so fun to make fun of their names. I already did Haymitch. But think about it! Peetabread (pitabread), Nightengale, The Katniss in a tree. HAHA! so anyway Thanks for reading I'll try try update soon! and review because I really appreciate it!
