After the Games: The Careers

Dogs
"You two dogs hungry?"
The usual was happening in the Career Capitol House; except the fact that Marvel and Cato were sitting nervously in the living room and waiting for the two Career ladies who were out shopping for a pet.
Actually, the Careers never planned to have a pet. But recently; Enobaria and Cashmere paid them a visit and insisted that they should have a bit more responsibility than they had before. They couldn't say no to their mentors who threatened them if they don't get themselves something that would give them more responsibility.
Cato wanted to get Glimmer pregnant but the other three Careers agreed that it would take longer so with a few persuasions by the Career girls, they were on their way to get themselves a pet.
"What do you think they're getting?" Marvel asked Cato who looked more nervous than Marvel was.
"I hope it isn't anything that we need to chase after." Cato responded which made Marvel chuckle.
"I hope it's just a fish or a rabbit." Marvel spoke as they heard footsteps from the backdoor.
"Girls! Are you home?" Marvel shouted as one of the females threw a knife at the couch.
"I missed you too, Clove." Marvel spoke as the two males looked at the girls who held paper bags.
"So, what did you get?" Cato asked as Glimmer and Clove set the bags on a nearby table.
"You two will have to see for yourselves." Glimmer spoke before looking at Clove with a sly smile.
"Seriously, what did you two get?" Marvel asked as Clove looked at Glimmer.
"Just go to the backyard," Clove insisted before the two boys looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Slowly, but surely; the two males walked to the backdoor and peeked at the peephole only to see an animal running around.
"You got a dog?" Marvel asked excitedly.
"Yes, yes we did." Glimmer giggled before she looked at Clove.
"Well, since you two said that it's a dog - it's fine with us." Cato spoke before he opened the door only to see that their assumed dog is actually an Arena pet.
"You girls said that you got a dog!" Marvel shouted as Clove and Glimmer laughed before pushing the boys out and locking the door.
"Have fun with Fluffy, okay? Dinner will be ready in a while." Glimmer laughed before the Girls went to the kitchen.
"Cato, how do we…" Marvel asked.
"We don't, Marvel. We have to catch the mutt. If we do, maybe we'll get an actual dog!" Cato spoke as the two boys raced to catch the mutt that infested their backyard.
It wasn't easy at all, of course; the mutt would try to catch them and make them an easy meal.
"Cato! Behind you!" Marvel shouted as Cato turned his back to see the slobbering mutt that was ready to attack.
"Catch!" Marvel threw a net at Cato who in turn wasn't able to catch it.
"Sorry!" Marvel apologized before Cato started running around the Backyard parameter.
Though, meanwhile the two girls were in the living room with an actual dog - a puppy, even.
"Do you think we should return the mutt back to Enobaria now?" Glimmer asked as Cato screamed which made the two girls laugh.
"Nah, we'll return the mutt later; right Hiddles?" Clove asked the puppy in her hands.
"Girls! Let us in!" Marvel shouted as Clove looked at Glimmer who smiled.
"No! You need to catch Fluffy first!" Glimmer shouted back as Marvel screamed.
"Please?" Cato screamed before silence overcame the backyard.
"Oh no," Clove whispered as they looked at the door.
"Do you think we should?" Glimmer asked as Clove nodded before they both stood up and set Hiddles the puppy in his bed.
"Boys?" Clove said as they opened the door only to be pushed outside.
"Your turn girls!" Cato shouted as the door slammed shut behind the two girls.
"Hey! Unfair!" Glimmer shouted as the two girls started to hit the door with their fists.
"Let us back in!" Glimmer demanded as Clove tapped her shoulder.
"What?" The blonde asked as the brunette pointed below them.
"Oh crap!" Glimmer shouted as she pushed Clove out of the way and started to run.
"Boys! Let us in!" Clove shouted as the boys started to laugh.
"Aww, what a cute puppy!" Marvel said as the two girls grunted and ran in the same direction as the boys did when they were being chased by the mutt that was owned by the District 2 mentor.
"Let us in!" Glimmer shouted as the door opened which made the two girls hurriedly run in and shut the door.
"Did you two have to do that?" Clove asked as she grabbed a knife.
"Hey, we wanted you girls to have a taste of your own medicine." Cato spoke as the two girls looked at each other and nodded.
"What are you girls planning to do now?" Marvel asked as the girls smiled and slowly walked to them.
"This is bad," Cato spoke as they started to run around the house.
"Hiddles, stay!" Glimmer shouted at the puppy that stayed at his current position.
The next day, Enobaria and Cashmere paid their beloved trainees a visit.
"Well, we heard that you guys bought a pet." Cashmere spoke as Glimmer and Clove nodded. Hiddles barked and ran to Glimmer who picked him up.
"Is this the little one?" Enobaria asked as she smiled.
"Nope, we have two more in the backyard," Clove spoke as they escorted the mentors to the backyard where two tents were put up.
"Cato! Marvel! Come out!" Glimmer shouted as the two male Careers came out in outfits that Glimmer had picked out.
"Well girls, you surely came through with the pet thing." Cashmere joked before Glimmer and Clove giggled.
"You two dogs hungry?" Glimmer asked as Cato and Marvel nodded in response.
"Well get inside the house. We don't have a big dog bowl to bring out to the both of you!" Clove shouted as the two boys raced inside the house and sat on the dining table.
"You know what, I think having Hiddles was a good idea," Marvel said as he looked at the dog that was on Glimmer's lap.
"Yeah, beats having the both of you as dogs." Clove joked as the others laughed, except of course - the two career boys who chuckled nervously at the joke of the youngest Career.
