Yes it is the next chapter! I didn't give up on any of you, my readers! It's just, grr, school, homework. All of that equals zero time for an author and their work. -sigh-. Also, for your guy's patience, you get to choose the weapons they get! It can be anything! No, joke, anything. Random things will make it funnier, I think. So the more random the better. Yea, so think about not really epic weapons for a not-so-epic duel.
Enjoy! :D
Katniss walks up to us, not smiling. Then she stands before me, looking up to me menacingly, and slaps me. I hold up my hands in surrender.
"What was that for?"
"For treating me like some object that you can win!" she yells in reply.
I retort, "Well, then why didn't you slap Gale? He always treats you like that!"
She ponders this.
"True... but yoou loved me first!" Katniss slaps me again. Wow, this is what I get I get for unconditional love. Some guys get flowers, some get kisses (real kisses), but I get slaps.
Gale smiles at me smugly, but then gets a slap from Katniss. He yelps and rubs the fresh red spot on his face.
Then I get an idea to stop getting slapped.
"Katniss", I begin, "why are you here?"
"Because my fans want me to be here to slap you two."
I think Gale is trying to tell Katniss to not say anything about our dear fans because he's making a slashing-his-throat sign quickly. Gale obviously doesn't know Katniss, since she would never understand that.
"Well, we're actually here because Gale wanted to teach me how to hunt", I say, saving Katniss from embarresment. I mean, gosh, if any fans found out that she didn't think for herself, where would we be? I mean, she can't even decide between Gale and me (And that's really sad, 'cause we all know who the obvious choice is -wink-).
"In the Capitol..?" she questions. Then her face brightens. "What do you hunt in the Capitol?"
Before I can say anything, Gale interrupts, "We kill cars! Cars are evil, especially the one Effie drives!"
Katniss stares at Gale as if he went nuts, but she doesn't understand. She wasn't in Effie's car.
However, I play off of Gale's idea.
"Yea, and the only way to kill them is if you shoot them in the tires, so that they can't go anywhere", I add.
"Yea", Gale agrees.
Katniss gets a sudden gleam in her eye that makes her look as though she were mad (you know, insane, not angry). Then she asks, "Can you teach me how to shoot cars, Gale?"
Okay, now we know that if Katniss could win an award, it would be the world's most gulible person award.
Before Gale can even find his bow (which he couldn't take on the train or in the car with him, because he would probably want to kill me sooner), Haymitch interrupts us.
"I never thought that I'd pick the worst time to be sober. This whole conversation was probably more disturbing than talking to President Snow", he shudders. "Let's just go see how Finnick is doing. I think we're signed in now.
Katniss and Gale still talk about hunting while we walk into the building, only it's probably worse than I thought it would be.
Gale hides behind Katniss. Haymitch takes out a bottle of wine and begins chugging it. Katniss immediately runs behind me, wrapping her arms around me for protection from what we find in there.
Because what we see is worse than anyone can possibly imagine.
It's a doll show.
Yes, you read that right dolls. Seriously, that was inspired by a friend of mine (and she didn't even know that she inspired it!). Anyway, like I said before, if you thought of random weapons for Peeta and Gale, just let me know and I could add them in the story! Sorry that it was really short, but like I said before, I am really busy. I'll try to update soon!(really random note, but have you people ever seen a look-a-like from a book and accidently call them by the book character's name? I almost did that a few times to this Peeta look-a-like. Scary how some people look like book characters...) Hope you enjoyed it! Please Review! :D
