AN; Sorry for the wait and if this chapter sounds a little rushed, but next chapter is when the games start! EEEK! I can't wait! :D
Camera's P.O.V.
Caesar Flickerman sat on his chair, laughing boisterously, decked out in flashy shades of blue.
"Welcome to the interviews for the tributes of the Seventy-Second annual Hunger Games!" He bellowed to the audience, throwing his hands up into the air.
"Now, as you all know, we'll be starting with the lovely duo from district one!" (AN; If I did them one at a time- believe me, I tried it- everything got boring and unbearably long and blah, blah, excuses, excuses, I just didn't feel like it.)
Caesar smiled, his blue lipstick making his teeth appear blindingly white, "Will you please help me welcome Brick and Blossom to the stage!"
The Capitol people sitting below the stage clapped and cheered as the two red heads appeared, wearing smiles. Blossom's looked forced.
"Follow my lead." Brick whispered to her as they sat down.
"How have you been liking the Capitol?" Caesar asked, starting out professional as he usually did with the first few districts.
"It's been wonderful, well," Brick cut off, chuckling, "Mostly. This one makes it a little hard to focus on training."
Hysteria bubbled up in the audience's throats.
"How so?" Caesar asked, looking as eager as a kid on Christmas morning.
Blossom blushed, playing along, "Stop it, Brick. You're embarrassing me."
Brick placed a light kiss on her lips, "Like I'm the only one who noticed how sexy you are."
Caesar about choked, before laughing, "Come on you two, we want to keep this PG."
The two laughed along before being ushered off the stage.
"Next we have the pair from two, Dexter and DeeDee!" Caesar announced and the polar opposites walked onto the stage.
"Good evening, Caesar." Dexter greeted, shaking the man's hand before he sat down.
"I dare say it is. So, tell me, has anything interesting happened since you got here?" The host asked, propping his chin on his hand.
Dexter nodded, "I was successfully able to develop the molecular structure of hydrogen with only-"
DeeDee cut him off with a giggle, "I trapped him in a net!"
The crowd laughed as well as the host as Dexter glared at the blonde, "DeeDee! I specifically told you not to say anything about-!"
She cut the infuriated ginger off once again, "He made this really complex thing-a-ma-bob and ended up getting stuck in it himself! But he's really smart."
"DeeDee!" Dexter protested again, "I didn't get stuck in it! You screwed it all u- wait, what?"
DeeDee nodded wisely and hugged the little scientist, "He's practically a genius. And he's like the little brother I never had."
The audience 'awww'ed and Caesar smiled, "Isn't that sweet? Well I hope to see some more of this sibling attitude in the games!"
They left and Caesar brought out an excited grin, "Now ladies and gentleman, I want a warm welcome for Brat and Blaze!"
The trashy blonde, wearing a dress that barely covered her butt, and had her breasts spilling out of it no matter wear you looked came in, arm and arm with a stiff Blaze.
Caesar licked his lips, "Hello you two. I've got to say, Brat, that was quite an introduction on the chariots last week. But, I can't help but wonder, how on Earth did Blaze keep his hands off of you?"
Brat laughed a sultry laugh, "It wasn't without difficulty, I assure you. I had to tie up a few times just so he wouldn't get grabby. Not that I mind the occasional wonderin' hand."
She winked at the host, who was now crossing his legs and putting a pillow on his lap.
Blaze refrained from rolling his eyes, "Brat, we're keeping in PG, remember?"
The girl gave the stiff a seductive look, "Oh, but I much prefer MA. I thought you liked that about me."
She pouted and Caesar immediately felt the need to make her feel better, "We'll up the rating!"
She beamed, "You would do that for me? Such a gentleman."
The female attendant ended up having to shoo them off stage, a hot and bothered Caesar frowning in disappointment throughout the whole spectacle.
"Now for Butch and Buttercup. Come on up." The host sighed, sounding a lot less enthusiastic than before.
The raven haired counterparts sat as far away from each other on the couch as possible.
This sparked some of Caesar's interest, "I'm sensing some tension in the room. Got anything you want to get off your chest?"
Butch smirked, "Buttercup's just a little jealous, that's all."
BC shot a glare at the green eyed boy, "Shut up, Butch! I am not."
Caesar raised a blue eyebrow, "Jealousy, huh? Why would she be jealous?"
"The girl from ten," Butch began, and Caesar perked up, "is flirting with me."
"Lucky you!" Caesar exclaimed, eyes widening.
Buttercup snorted, "Oh please. I would hardly call getting kicked across the room as flirting."
"The girl from ten was able to kick him across a room?" The blue man questioned, disbelief dripping from every word.
BC nodded, "After he pinched her a- butt."
She checked herself chanting, PG, PG, PG over and over in her head.
"Sad that it wasn't you?" Butch asked her, giving her a sarcastically sympathetic look.
She merely rolled her eyes before they were dismissed.
"Joining us next is the couple from two, Belle and Blake." Caesar cheered, back in high spirits.
The two walked on stage, Blake with an arm wrapped around Belle's waist.
"How have things been working out here for you two?" The host asked, taking a swig from his water bottle.
Before could open his mouth and possibly ruin any chances of sponsors, Belle broke out into a breathtaking smile.
"Well, it was a little difficult at first. I mean, living with your ex is never easy, am I right?"
"Ex?" Caesar questioned, and you could just picture him rubbing his hands together like a cheesy villain whose plan was going accordingly.
Belle nodded, "We went out for a few months last year, but it never really worked out. Anyways, I think Blake and I are finally learning how to get along and we're friends now. It's kind of nice to not avoid each other anymore."
Belle smiled and patted Blake's knee with false affection.
Blake grinned like an ass hole, "Plus she is great in the sack."
Two words; Dumb. Ass.
They were escorted off the stage and Caesar was still in a mild state of shock when the the boy and girl from district six walked on.
"Bandit and Bunny everybody!" Caesar cheered after a full minute of him being in a stunned state of silence.
The two slowly exited, Bunny glancing back after every few seconds, thinking it was a joke. District six, undersold once again.
"Let's try to make this interview more eventful with Billy and Mandy!" He announced, using more gusto than necessary, making up for the previous boring act.
The two entered, one grinning moronically, the other scowling at anyone or anything.
"Welcome you two. So, Billy, I think we were- we were all a little... surprised! With your, ahem, lack of knowledge on the Hunger Games when you were picked." Caesar said, trying to say it as kindly as possible.
Billy laughed, "What's the Hunger Pains?" (AN: Lol, the parody. XD)
Caesar blinked.
Mandy sighed, "He's an idiot, in case you didn't notice."
Caesar cocked his head slightly, "No, I-I noticed. It's just... he can't be that stupid. It's impossible."
Mandy gave him a look, "Oh, really?"
She then turned to the still laughing Billy, "Billy, what's favorite number?"
"Ladybugs!" He answered at once.
And that was that on the matter.
After the two from district seven left, Bane and Brute were introduced.
"Caesar, it's a pleasure to finally meet you in person." Bane said, sitting down with his legs crossed.
"Dito." Brute mumbled, kicking her feet up on the table.
"You two as well." Caesar said, "So, how has the Capitol life been going on for you both?"
"He's annoying." Brute grumbled.
Bane sighed, "Again with this, Brute? I thought we were past this."
Brute ignored him, "All he ever does is meditate. And he never even trains! He sits in his room twenty four/ seven and does his stupid mantras!"
"Can we please not do this now?" Bane pleaded, rubbing his temples.
"How is he annoying," Caesar asked, "if all he ever does is leave you alone?"
Silence.
"Attention whore." Bane accused.
"Hippie!" Brute flung back.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Caesar butted in, laughing, "Lets save all this fighting for the games you two!"
The two walked away and Beck and Berserk walked on.
"Hello." Beck said shortly.
"And hello to you. So, and I think everyone is dying to hear the answer to this as well, what could of possibly possessed you to start tearing off your clothes?" Caesar asked and the crowd laughed.
"To tell you the truth," Beck chuckled, "The outfits were completely boring."
"That, and Beck has no shame." Berserk hissed, still more pissed than pleased by the results his actions got them.
"Thank God for that." Caesar laughed obnoxiously.
They left after a few more seconds of small talk and teasing. (AN; Ugh, I'm lazy, I know!)
"Now," Caesar exclaimed, his eyes bright and lively, "For the couple from ten, Piggy and Boomer!"
"I told you." Bubbles wailed miserably to Boomer before they walked on the stage and took her seat.
"Sorry, Bubbles." Caesar chuckled.
She offered him a small smile, "Don't worry about it. It's not you I'm mad at."
"Who are you mad at?" Boomer asked her.
She crossed her arms and huffed adorably, "That pervert from four!"
"Ah yes," Caesar said, chuckling again, "Butch said that you were the one flirting."
Her cheeks flushed with anger, "As if! I don't go for jerks. I prefer the sweet, sensitive type."
She giggled a little and poked Boomer on the nose.
Boomer blushed.
"So cute." Caesar sighed, shaking his had with a smile.
The duo fled the stage and Robin and Mitch walked on.
"Now these," Caesar boomed to the crowd, "are the two people all of Panem has been talking about!"
"Great." Robin muttered under her breath and Mitch fought a grin.
"Mitch, the way you vowed to protect this young women with such sincerity, I think it touched all of our hearts." The host said, looking around the audience expectantly as there were murmured agreements.
"I've known Robby forever, y'know?" Mitch said, ruffling Robin's hair, "She's my best friend, I'd die for her."
"Don't go all sentimental on me." Robin groaned, hiding her face in her hands.
"I'm just tellin' the truth." Mitch defended.
'"Let's save the 'I love you's for a darker day, shall we?" Robin suggested with a grin.
"Too late," Mitch said, "I love you."
"My heart bleeds for you!" Robin said dramatically, before sticking out her tongue "Get it? Because we're gonna... never mind."
"And on that note," Caesar said and the ending music started up, "I believe its time to bring the Seventy-Second annual Hunger Games interviews to an end! Goodnight everybody!"
AN; Seriously, goodnight. I'm about to pass out. R&R!
