Hey, sorry I haven't updated in a while. I was going to update last weekend, but I was busy. I hope you enjoy this chapter!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own the best series in the entire world. (The Hunger Games)

Katniss's POV

"So this is a formal party so we need formal outfits," Madge said. She continued rambling on about something while we walked to the dress shop in the mall. Annie and I were listening to Madge while Johanna and Clove talked about actors who did something with knives or axes in movies or something like that, but I don't know; I'm really not listening to them.

We finally reached the dress shop and I began looking for a dress. I noticed this brownish one (AN: like her outfit for the tribute parade in the Catching Fire movie) that looked really pretty. "Does this dress fit your standards, Madge?" I asked. She looked over to the dress in my hands.

"Oh my gosh! Katniss, it's perfect! Absolutely perfect," she exclaimed. Then she moved on to find dresses for the other girls while I tried it on. It was a perfect fit and the price was in my price range. I walked out and saw Madge holding a dress, waiting for a changing room.

"Madge, I'm done with this one if you need to try on that dress," I said to her.

"Thanks. Did it fit?" she asked. I nodded. She cheered and entered the fitting room. I looked out the window of the store and saw Peeta and his friends. I put the dress by my purse and ran out to say hi to him.

"Peeta," I said as I approached him.

"Hey, there's my favorite girl," he said. I gave him a hug and a kiss. I noticed he was with Finnick, Gale, Cato, and Marvel.

"You know, your girlfriends are in there trying on dresses for my party. Madge is being a perfectionist again. Every dress has to be formal," I said mocking Madge. I noticed Finnick's eyes light up and saw that Annie had just walked out of the changing room. Annie must have noticed him to because she put her stuff down and walked out to greet her boyfriend. We talked for a few more minutes before I said, "We should probably get back in there before Madge starts freaking out again."

"Again?" Gale asked.

"She found out the tables would be delivered the day of the party instead of the day before," Annie said.

"Oh," all the guys said realizing Madge was, as usual, overreacting.

"We'll help set up," Cato said.

"Thanks, how about we meet at the Smoothie Kingdom in half an hour? Madge will want to set up a schedule for you guys and maybe give you some jobs," I said.

"Hey, I'm making the cake and being the birthday girl's date, isn't that enough?" Peeta asked.

"Not in Madge's eyes," Annie said. We all laughed.

"Okay, see you in half an hour," Finnick said. He hugged Annie and Peeta hugged me. We went back inside and told the others we had to go to the Smoothie Kingdom in half an hour.

"How about we pay for these and look at shoes until we have to go," Madge said. We agreed and paid for our dresses.

We walked into the shoe store and started trying on shoes. I found a black pair that I thought would look nice with the dress. Once all of us had found our shoes, we had just enough time to get to the Smoothie Kingdom.

When we walked in, the boys were already at the couches. We got our smoothies and walked to the couches. I sat next to Peeta, Annie sat next to Finnick, Madge sat next to Gale, and the other two filled in where there was room.

We talked about my party for a few minutes and then Madge started giving the boys jobs. Setting up tables, setting up the lights in her backyard, setting up the music. Basically any job that required strength or would risk breaking a nail according to her.

"So, what are you going to do while we set everything up?" Gale asked Madge.

"Get manicures," Madge said clueless that it sounded very selfish.

"I don't get manicures. It's not me," Johanna said.

"I'm with Johanna," I said.

"Too bad," Madge said. "This is a formal sweet 16. We are getting manicures."

"I just feel bad that I'm going to get my nails down while my boyfriend has to set up my party," I said.

"I agree," Annie said.

"Do you boys mind that we will be enjoying ourselves while you work?" Madge asked. The boys opened their mouths to talk but before they could, Madge spoke again, "See, they don't care." Everyone looked at Gale.

"What?"

"She's your girlfriend. We are wondering how you put up with her," Marvel joked.

"Because I care about her," Gale said putting his arm around Madge. "But, you are being a little obsessive, Madge." Madge gave him a surprised look and everyone burst into laughter.

Peeta's POV

We stayed at the Smoothie Kingdom for another hour. We talked about our projects, Katniss's party, and some movies in theaters. I got up to get a refill smoothie for Katniss and Finnick followed.

"So, how's your relationship with Katniss going?"

"Fine," I replied.

"How's her sister?"

"She's in a coma. They are trying to find the cause but they think it was an allergic reaction."

"Katniss seems to be holding it together," Finnick said.

"She doesn't want to worry everyone. So please don't tell anyone."

"Okay." We returned to the couches and sat down. I heard the door open and Glimmer laughing.

"Oh no," Annie said.

"Katniss, I heard your birthday is coming up," Glimmer said walking up to us. "When am I getting an invitation?"

"Never," Katniss replied.

"Oh are you not having a party because your sister is in a coma?" she said. How the heck does she know about that? Everyone looked at Katniss.

"How did you know about that?" Katniss asked nervously.

"Inside source. Did you not tell everyone? Did you even tell Peeta?"

"I told Peeta because he was there when I got the call and I was waiting for more news to tell the others. How did you find out?"

"I have my ways," Glimmer responded. "Is there still a party? I would love to come."

"No, there is not. Even if there was, I wouldn't tell you." Glimmer walked away and everyone looked at Katniss again.

"I was going to tell you. I didn't want you to worry. I'm sorry," Katniss said.

"It's okay," Madge says. "We just hope she's okay."

"I do too," Katniss said. I put my arm around her and she rested her head on my shoulder. I kissed her head and began talking to Finnick about an algebra test we had last week. Katniss started talking to Johanna, but I could tell Glimmer really upset her.

"Okay, everyone. I just realized something I forgot," Madge said getting everyone's attention. "Someone has to deliver the invitations." No one spoke up. "Come on please. Do it for Katniss."

"I'll do it," Johanna said.

"I'll help," Clove said.

"Thank you," Madge replied. "Do you boys have suits?"

"We have to wear suits?" Gale said.

"Yes, it's a formal party. How weird would it look if the girls are dressed up and you guys come in a t-shirt and jeans?"

"Point taken. What do you think most of us had to wear to the dance? You know all but two of us definitely have suits," Finnick replied.

"No need to sass, Finnick," Madge said. We all burst into laughter.

I hope you enjoyed! Please review. I love hearing your feedback. I will try and update again soon because I have standardized tests next week so I shouldn't have homework.
