A/N: The Second Chapter. I decided to change the plot and just turn it into a plan of Peeta's proposal to Katniss. Totally lame right? Well, I hope you like it. :|

Disclaimer: I do not own THE HUNGER GAMES.

Katniss

We all sat at the table, with Paylor smiling gaily at us. She looks like a cross between Effie and the late Alma Coin. I look nervously at the six other people around me. Peeta caught my gaze and held it. I smiled at him and he smiled back.

"So President, what is your purpose of inviting us?" Beetee asked.

Everyone grew silent. We all looked at Paylor who stopped smiling. She then had on a serious look in her face which made me feel uneasy.

"Why don't we finish this first before turning to that matter?"

"C'mon Paylor!—I mean President Paylor—why not tell us now?" Johanna burst out.

I looked at Peeta. He looked quite edgy , just like Paylor. The President looked toward Peeta. This is rather odd."There are some very deviant news I presume." Enobaria said.

Four of the people at the table started talking at once. Paylor looked tired. Peeta looked humiliated, which added to my confusion. "Peeta?" I asked him gently. He gave me a weak smile.

"Paylor? What is it?" I stood up. She gave me a chuckle and looked at Peeta.

"Better if you heard the news tomorrow. I feel tired today. I must go away now." Then, she left.

Most of us groaned. " What happened to Paylor all of the sudden? She acted very creepy." Annie said. That made us smile. Annie rarely talked.

"Maybe Paylor's right, if we knew tomorrow." Peeta said. Haymitch snickered.

"Haymitch, do you know anything?" I inquired. Haymitch shrugged, which really made me curious.

"Haymitch?"

" Well, I better go, try to find something to drink." Haymitch then stood up, and marched away.

Everyone else stood up too and left. " I'll leave too, I just hope it's good news we hear tomorrow." Johanna murmured. Peeta and I were the only ones left. I held his hand near my face.

"What do you think President P wants ?" I asked, not expecting an answer.

" Well, just like Johanna said, I hope it's good news."

I beamed at him and we left the dining area.

Peeta

I escorted Katniss to her room and joined the others. " It's about time Peeta." I heard Johanna say.

I gave them a sheepish grin and sauntered off to talk to them.

"So, how'd we do?" Enobaria asked.

"Good."

"Good? Not very good?" Haymitch asked, while guzzling a bottle of white liquor.

" I told you we could have used more practice." Beetee said accusingly.

" I agree with Beetee." Annie said.

I hung my head and laughed. "Okay, what shall we do next?"

They all talked rapidly, and I could not hear a word they were saying.

"Silence!" Paylor shouted with authority.

Everybody immediately went silent. "One by one please." Annie raised her hand. I gestured toward her and she stood up.

"Surprise her."

"Aren't we already surprising her Annie?" Johanna asked nonchalantly.

"Yes we are. So we just have to find a way to break it to her. "

"So what do you suggest we do?"

It's hard to just throw this into action without planning. What did I just do? If this plan does not go into action, I'm doomed. But I must do it. I must propose to Katniss.

Katniss

I go to Annie's room to check on her. She wasn't there so I went to the other visitors' quarters. No one was there. I rushed to Peeta's room, hoping he was there and I will have someone to talk to.

"Peeta?" I called out. He wasn't there. No one was around. I continued walking, hoping to find them soon. The pantry! I'm sure Haymitch is there! I proceeded to the pantry, walking past a room with muffled voices. Out of curiosity, I leaned in and try to process their voices. Out of the voices in the room, I could easily make out one. Peeta's voice. I stayed, hoping I could also recognize another one. Johanna, Annie, Haymitch. I turned the doorknob and went inside.

Thar she goes mateys!. Review please or else I won't update. One review is enough. Hahaha :)
