Training, training, training. Oh, boy. Training. I feel as if I gave too much attention to Ashley and Annie, so they'll just be in the background today. Or, at least I'll try. They might have other plans. *sigh* Characters. You never know with them.

Disclaimer: Last I checked, my name was not Suzanne Collins, but maybe it's changed...

I sat down with Sheeshey and Uniqua, waiting for them to speak. "So, what did you do, Katrina?" Sheeshey asked.

I grinned half-heartedly. "I made two new enemies," I said. Both of my friends raised their eyebrows at me. "It's true!" I protested.

"What else did you do?" Sheeshey asked.

"I got pretty good at throwing knives, and I'm okay at sword fighting," I replied. "What about you?"

"You remember Rue?" Sheehshey asked. We nodded.

"On the ropes course, I almost beat her record!" Sheeshey said excitedly. Uniqua widened her eyes. I felt my mouth fall open.

"What did you do, Uniqua?" I asked, finally.

"Well, I can make a decent fire, recognize edible plants, and... yeah." Uniqua said, blushing.

I took a bite of the marvelous food. "Well, how about after lunch, one of you goes to agility, I'll go to survival stations - not hitting the ones that Uniqua did - and the other goes to weapons?" I asked, taking another bite.

"I'll go to weapons," Sheeshey said, nodding at my suggestion.

"Guess I'm going to agility," said Uniqua. We all nodded at each other just as the bell rang.

-o-O-o-

I frowned at my lean-to, hands on my hips. I had made a medium - level structure. It would house all my allies and me, had three walls and a roof, and would survive minor rain and wind. I decided it was good enough after a few minutes. I waved at the trainer as I headed over to snares.

I greeted the trainer, and sat down. "Could you teach me?" I asked. He nodded, grabbed a length of rope, and sat down as well.

After he'd told me how to make a basic snare, I tried myself. I ended up with a small snare; it would catch small- to medium size animals, but not any tributes. I sighed, but the trainer told me it was a good one. I smiled at him.

I grabbed another length of rope, and tried again. I was rewarded with a larger snare, and the trainer patted my back. "That's as good as you're going to get," he said, and walked away, to another tribute.

I got up too, and walked to camouflage. I didn't know exactly how it would help me, but I went there anyway. Until I learned that you had to paint on yourself.

-o-O-o-

The bell rang for the end of the day, and I caught up with Sheeshey and Uniqua.

"What did you do?" Sheeshey asked us.

"I learned how to make a decent snare and lean-to, and I can now weave hammocks," I said proudly.

Uniqua said, "I learned how to climb a tree really fast, and I can jump really high, too."

"What about you, Sheeshey?" I asked.

"Well, I tried out the scythe and the spear, but I think I'm better at the spear. I'm gonna go with that; it's my weapon of choice." Sheeshey said. "By the way, when you did weapons, what was your weapon of choice?"

"Throwing knives," I said. "I'm pretty accurate with them." Both my friends nodded.

"So, for tomorrow, for the first half of the day, we should each do the group we didn't do yet; I'll go to weapons, Sheeshey will go to survival, and Katrina will go to agility." Uniqua said, her voice half asking, half stating. I nodded, along with Sheeshey.

"See you tomorrow!" I called as we got to Sheeshey's level. (We had taken the stairs.)

"Bye!" Sheeshey said as the door closed. Soon we were at my level. I waved at Uniqua, and went into my living quarters.

-o-O-o-

"How was training?" Octavia asked as we sat down to dinner.

"It was good," I responded half-heartedly.

"So, what did you learn? Are you in any alliances? Have any enemies? Strengths? Weaknesses?" Beetee asked, leaning forward.

"Well, I am in an alliance with Sheeshey and Uniqua." I started.

Beetee nodded, gesturing for me to go on.

"I kinda... IkindamadeenemieswithAshleyandAnnie," I said really quickly.

"I didn't catch that," Beetee informed me. I sighed.

"I made two enemies - Ashley and Annie." I said. Beetee nodded.

"Go on," he said.

"My weapon of choice is throwing knives, I'm okay with swords, and Sheeshey's weapon of choice is spears. Uniqua can recognize edible plants, start decent fires, jump really high and climb up trees and such really fast. Sheeshey can also climb really well and move really fast, and I can also make snares and a decent lean-to, and weave hammocks." I finally took a breath, and both Beetee and Octavia nodded appreciatively.

"Good. And I'm betting you've made a plan for tomorrow?" Beetee asked. I nodded again.

Beetee looked at the clock. "Okay, that's all," he said, and I got up. Since it was only 6:30, I walked to the living room, to watch some TV.

-o-O-o-

I yawned, and looked at the clock. I was surprised to see that it was already 9:00. I stretched, and walked to my room. I changed into my PJ's, and curled into my bed. I slipped immediately into a dream.

A dream that I wished were real.

Okay, so I feel this is really short, for some reason, while my word count says I have 1,018 words. Umm... I have a couple questions for y'all - I might keep doing this, we'll see.

1) What do you think the arena is going to be like?

2) How do like Katrina, Sheeshey and Uniqua's skills?

3) Out of the three mentioned above, who is your favorite?

4) Should I keep doing these questions?

Oh, and I love reviews - they actually make me update faster (usually) and they make me feel good. :)

Bye!
