Katniss POV
We make our way to where Ceaser is sitting and sit down in the plush, white loveseat they have set up for us.
"Well, can I just say it's an honor to be sitting next to you two" Ceasor says excitedly
"Please, the honor's all ours!" Gale says with a smirk. He was always so good with words, whereas I would stumble and mumble on my words.
It really is a relief to have him here, so that I don't have to answer these questions all by myself. But if he wasn't here I probably wouldn't even be able to answer any questions.
"Now" Ceaser starts "Let's watch the highlights of this years Annual Hunger games!" He says turning to the projector placed above us. It starts off with the bloodbath scene, then to fight between me and those 4 boys, then to some stuff at the career camp, then to when Thresh and Gale find us, some romance between me and Gale, then they skip Rue's and Thresh's death and go to where Cato captures me. I can't believe that they skipped their deaths, I almost feel tears starting to flow. They're now at the final battle scene. I can't even watch, I feel like I'm going to throw up.
"Well, wasn't that exciting?" Ceaser says to no-one in particular "Now, we have some questions that we would like to ask" Me and Gale shoot each other a look, then he grabs my hand and starts to massage it with his fingers.
"I know that everyone is really interested on how you two met" Ceaser says. I look into the crowd and see a whole bunch of eager faces.
"Well, when I was 14 I had this job. It wasn't really a job, more of a volunteer type of thing. We were supposed to sort the coal that the miners mined. Any way, one day this small, 12 year old girl with her beautiful brown hair in two braids walked into the building. I watched as she went into the manager's office. While I was sorting I kept on looking at the door, waiting for the girl to come out. Eventually she did, along with the manager. He introduced us, and ever since then we became extremely close" Gale finishes. Anyone from district 12 would know he lied, but if he told the truth we would be in a lot of trouble.
"So you two have known each other for...3 years?"He asks
"No, 4 years" Gale says
"Now, the real question is, how long have you two loved each other?" He asks
"Well...uh" Gale stutters, obviously nervous
I realize that Gale has been the only one answering the questions so I decide to answer this one "Well, you see, many of the girls had crushes on Gale back home. I didn't really mind at first, I thought of him as a big brother. But when all those girls began flirting with him is when I realized I had feelings for him. I never did tell him, scared that he didn't feel the same way and end up ruining our friendship. But on the morning of the reaping Gale told me he loved me, and I knew that nothing could ever keep us apart now"
I hear a chorus of aawwww and that's so romantic coming from the crowd. I even see a few people wiping away tears.
The interview goes on and soon it's done. We make our way off the stage, holding hands and my head resting on Gale's shoulder.
"Oh that was wonderful, you two did great!" Effie exclaims
"Yeah" Haymitch says. It's pretty obvious he's had a few drinks.
A few days later we are on a train, going back to district 12. I am so excited because then I will get to see Prim again and live the rest of my life with Gale Hawthorne. He gave me a promise ring after the interview with Ceaser, symbolizing that someday we would get married, but would wait until I was older and more prepared. That's just one of the 1000 things I love about Gale, that he's always willing to wait for me. Even if that means waiting years.
The end
So I know that wasn't the best way to end the story, but I had to someway. Anyways, I was thinking of writing another story about their lives afterwards, like their children and marriage and victory tour. So let me know if you would be interested in that.
Love you all (except you haters, no one likes you
