Katniss POV

The rest of the week flies by, Gale avoiding me and Madge 'attempting to drop subtle hints' that end up sounding like,

'Hey Peeta, you know who else likes painting? Katniss! She's really good!'

At which point Peeta would glance at my messed up piece of art work that has scribbles all over and small doodles and raise his eyebrows.

Things like that.

On Friday evening, Peeta begs me and Madge to come with him and Finnick to the train station. Finn and Peeta have got really close lately, almost as close as him and I or Madge and I. We eventually relent.

'Just let us go back to get changed, alright? We'll meet you in the town centre at half four,' Madge says, which is two hours time, and Peeta nods.

'Yeah, I have to tell my dad I can't work at the bakery tonight. He should already know, but… yeah,' he shrugs, leaving with Finn. Madge drags me in to her palace of a house and up the stairs to her room.

'Now, Kattypoo, you must look good today because Peeta's girlfriend is coming. Not that you don't look good normally, but you must look exceptionally good. So I am going to curl your hair, and do your makeup, and dress you, because I am the queen,' Madge rambles on with a few more nonsensical sentences before sitting me down in a chair and heating up a curling iron.

At four o'clock, Madge finally announces she's finished and takes the loose blindfold, 'so that it doesn't smudge my eye makeup', from my eyes and turns me to look in the mirror. I gasp quietly and Madge chuckles.

'Told you I was queen,' she states.

My hair is in loose curls that hang like a curtain down to my mid stomach. My eyes are subtle yet sweet in faint gold eye-shadow and a flick of black eyeliner, and my eyelashes painted in mascara that brings out the grey. My lips are glossy and coated with light red lipstick. I'm wearing a dress that, at the top, is creamy white with blue flowers a ruffle along the top. The bottom is like a high-waisted skirt that is navy blue with golden buttons down (A/N: Link for this dress and Madge's are on my profile - just imagine them on the girls!). I look truly beautiful, which is something I don't usually say. Madge, however, looks plain and simple in comparison to me. Her blonde hair is in a high ponytail, and she's wearing a none-sleeved green dress, which is tied with a thin string below her breasts, and clings to her slim figure. We slip on shoes, me golden sandals that tie in a bow above my ankle and Madge in pale blue flats.

'Madgeypoo, why aren't you looking all fancy like me?' I whine, and she smirks.

'Because, I can't be downgrading my best friend now, can I?'

'Fine,' I humph, crossing my arms over my chest.

'Now, come on Kattypoo, we can't keep Prince Charming and his henchman waiting, can we?' she giggles, and we walk out the door and in to town clinging to each other to stop us from falling over from laughter. The boys take one glance at us, raise their eyebrows at each other, and telepathically have the same idea to come and pick us up and throw us over their shoulders at the same time, Finnick taking me and Peeta taking Madge.

'You look lovely, ladies, but we can't be having you ruin our reputation; us being seen with two mad girls wouldn't look so good, would it?' Finnick smirks.

'Finnick, Peeta, PUT US DOWN!' Madge and I yell in unison, so loud the boys drop us and we run off, laughing again. They eventually catch up to us and all four of us walk together, hand in hand, to the train station; Finnick on one end, Madge and me in the middle, and Peeta the other end.

'You know, you look really pretty this evening,' Peeta whispers, his lips right next to my ear, and shivers flow down my spine.

'Thanks, you're not too bad yourself,' I grin, and he mock gasps. Then he tickles me, and I collapse in the middle of the street, writhing on the floor, Peeta chuckling and tickling me.

'Peeta,' I gasp out, 'Stop! It tickles!'

'That's what it's meant to do Katniss,' he grins, but relents, helping me up.

'I'll get you back for that, bread boy,' I tell him, scowling.

'Looking forward to it, fire girl,' he replies, and ends up giving me a piggy back the rest of the 10 metres it was to the station.

'Peeta!'

The shrill voice snaps Peeta and I out of whatever argument we were having and hurries over to us in a blur of pink. Peeta rubs the back of his neck then embraces the woman, who is wearing a metallic pink dress and has huge white hair.

'Hey, Aunt Effie,' Peeta smiles.

'Oh Peeta, darling, how are you? It feels like ages since I've seen you! You have been keeping up the good manners, right?' she asks, somewhat sternly, smiling toothily at him. I have to bite my lip to keep in the laugh that's attempting to come out at Peeta's awkwardness. He's opening his mouth, about to answer, when a squeal of delight interrupts his words and girl with blonde curls, mini peach coloured shorts and a white, almost see through, lacy top throws her arms around Peeta's neck and kisses him right there in front of us. Finnick makes a quiet gagging noise and Madge leans down and whispers in to my ear,

'Fuck, she's pretty.'

Oh yeah, great way to make me feel better, Madge. As if I didn't know that already.

Delly turns to us and raises one perfect eyebrows, glancing us up and down. Her eyes light up when she spots Finn and she smiles flirtatiously.

'Peety, who are these?' Delly asks in a sickly sweet voice.

'Uh, Delly… these are my friends…' he trails off, rubbing his neck again. I decide to step forwards an introduce myself.

'Katniss Everdeen,' I smile, wrapping her in a hug as though we'd been friends forever. Peeta and Madge have to stifle their laughs and Finn mock glares at me.

'Katty, I wanted to be the first to hug her!' he whines, joining in the hug. Madge grins and winks.

'GROUP HUG!' she yells, attracting many strange glances as she wraps her arms around us all. I feel Delly squirm beneath us and when we all let go she deeply inhales and practically jumps on to Peeta.

'Come on, let's go home,' Peeta says, winking at us secretly and passing Delly to Effie.

'Hey Katty,' Peeta motions for me, 'Can you show Delly here her room?'

He moves his head so his lips reach my ear,

'It's the third one on the right, directly up the stairs,' he whispers, smiling. I sarcastically thank him and grab Delly's free hand, yelling,

'COME ON DELLY!'

I hear Peeta chuckle softly as I drag her up the stairs and shove her in to her room, following suit.

'This is… your room,' I say glancing around. Everything's pink, just like her mother. Pink walls, pink curtain, pink bed sheets, pink bed… pink everything. She drops her bags as her phone begin to ring, and takes out a – you guessed it – pink, bejewelled phone. I see the word Jake flash up and she glares at me.

'Uh, this is private. Can you leave?' she spits, pointing a perfectly painted pink finger nail at the door. I happily oblige, closing the door behind me but staying to lean my ear against the door.

'Hey Jakey… no babe, of course I love you, I just can't see you right now… Oh, I'm in 12, visiting some family friends… I know, it's a crappy town… ok baby, see you on Monday. Byeee!' I hear.

Oh God.
