Interviews!
I gritted my teeth as Venia ripped yet another sticky strip of cloth from my lower leg, and I swear I could hear every hair being ripped from my leg.
"Okay, last one, I promise!" Octavia pipped handing Venia the last of those vile cloths.
Rip!
"OW!"
"Done! My goodness, people in District 12 are like hairy little monkeys!" I wasn't sure if that was an insult or not, so I ignored it as I listened to Flavius telling me about his new pink lapdog.
"Nero is very good. He only ever does his business in his little pan, and he is very trim thanks to Beete's new dog treadmill!" Flavius pipped as his painted my nails the same color as my dress.
I winced as Venia rubbed some kind of cream all over my body, that stung, then calmed by irritated skin. Octavia was working away at my hair making it smoother than it has d been in months! I secretly wondered how on earth Mom had the patience for all this beauty work!
"Ooo! Heres your dress! Arms up!" I held up my arms as Venia pulled the white interview dress on. It felt pretty heavy. Octavia, giggling at my confused look, explained "We had to add some more layers to the skirt when we realized how skinny you were!" I had no clue what this had to do with anything, but then again I have no clue about anything fashion.
There was a knock on the door. "Can we come in?" Dad asked peeking his head around the door. "Well you're already half way in!" I exclaimed in fake frustration. Dad threw open the door, and I saw that Mom, and Cinna were behind him, all dressed in matching white outfits.
"Honey you look beautiful!" Mom exclaimed little tears welling in her eyes.
(My Interview Dress!)
One Hour Later....
"And now, everyone's favorite host Caeser Flickerman!" A voice boomed out over the crowd at the old Training Center, as Caeser Flickerman the old Hunger Games interviewer, waltzed onto the stage (this year his hair, lips, and eyebrows is dyed metallic gold).
"And now, everyone's favorite host Caeser Flickerman!" A voice boomed out over the crowd at the old Training Center, as Caeser Flickerman the old Hunger Games interviewer, waltzed onto the stage (this year his hair, lips, and eyebrows is dyed metallic gold).
"Welcome! Tonight we have some very important guests! First, the darlings of Panem... Finch and Cinna Mellark!" The crowd's cheer filled my ears as Caeser directed me and Cinna onto the stage, and into a family sized couch, center stage.
"And now, you all know them. From tributes, to victors, to liberators.... Please welcome Katniss and Peeta Mellark!" The crowd responded with a earth shattering roar that made my very bones vibrate.
"And now, you all know them. From tributes, to victors, to liberators.... Please welcome Katniss and Peeta Mellark!" The crowd responded with a earth shattering roar that made my very bones vibrate.
After Caeser managed to silence the crowd, he immediately began the questions.
"So Katniss, Peeta, its been how long since you've been in the Capitol?"
"Almost twenty nine years." Mom answered
"Wow! And I understand little Finch here is how old?"
"Fourteen."
"My goodness, they grow up so fast don't they!" Caeser exclaimed playfully patting my head. The harmless motion reminded me of the day two weeks ago when Mom had slapped Gale. But now Mom's face was bright and happy. Not clouded and distant.
"And Peeta, I understand you hijacking is almost nonexistent?"
"Well, there are times when it comes back for a second, but I can usually tell when its coming and get a grip on it."
"Well that is indeed a relief! Now do you mind if I ask the children a few questions?"
This took me by surprise. I was just expecting Mom and Dad to do all the talking.
"Cinna, I must ask you this (the ladies want to know), is there anyone special in your life?"
"Huh?" Cinna asked confused.
"Oh you know, a special girl." Cinna blushed such a deep red I couldn't help but laugh.
"Looks like your sister knows the answer! Haha, but do tell us what her name is!"
Cinna opened and shut his mouth several times before answering.
"Er... Must I?" Man, Cinna is good at working the crowd, just like Dad.
"Yes of course!" Caeser laughed as the crowds cheers back him up.
"Her name is... Um..."
"Out with it Cinna!" Mom giggled.
"I would quite like to know myself." Dad laughed.
"Hannah Abernathy. Darn, I really shouldn't have said that! " Cinna said covering his mouth with his hand.
"I KNEW IT!" I squealed, how many times had I caught him looking at Effie and Haymitch's lovely thirteen year old daughter?
The camera cut to a close up of Hannah, who was backstage sitting next to her mother. Her face was beet red, but she too was laughing
"Oh dear, I certainly have a lot to teach you Cinna!" Dad laughed, probably remembering an interview just like this were he confessed his love for Mom. Oh the irony!
Caesar had managed to rein in the crowd, and was now ready to move on to me. Oh dear.
"Finch, what do you think of your brother's little secret. From your little outburst you knew?" Caesar smiled at me, making my stage fright disappear instantly.
"Yea I had a feeling, but I'm not going to say more. I'm already dead a million times over for that outburst." The crowd laughed. Up until then I had completely forgotten they were there! So I smiled cheekily and sweetly at the camera and waved.
"We'll make sure you are still around to hear from Hannah tomorrow at least!"
The crowd was going absolutely starkers at this point, but I was dreading what I knew was coming.
"So, Finch, any one special?"
"You mean besides my cat?" The crowd laughed lightly.
"Oh you know!" Caesar prompted.
"Yea, tell em sis!" Cinna lightly punched my arm.
"No. Nobody as of yet." I waved my hand as if dismissing the question.
"Oh well, maybe in the next year or so."
"Hopefully not!"
"Hahaha, and back to the parents!" The adults chattered back and forth for awhile. Discussing everything from Cinna and Hannah, to the new music chip Beete was inventing.
"Well thats all the time we have for today! Tune in tomorrow for live coverage of The Hunger Games Memorial feast!" Caesar signed off. The anthem of Panem played.Then we were whisked off to the old Training Center.
I played around in the shower for a little bit, testing all the knobs and buttons until I was cleaner than I had ever been in my life! I stepped on the the mat outside the shower and was instantly dried by the hot hair coming from it. Then I placed my hand on the box that instantly untangled and dried my hair. After choosing a comfortable nightgown from the huge wardrobe, I ordered come ht cocoa, watched the repeat of the interviews (laughing at Cinna's confession), then climbed into my bed. And now I'm typing this while finishing the last bit of my cocoa!
Tune in later for the Hunger Games Memorial Feast!

And the winner is....
"So Finch, have you decided on your dress for the feast yet?" Venia's high pitched voice asked, as I dipped my roll in hot chocolate (a Mellark tradition).
"Yea."
And here is the winning dress..... Drumroll please.......

Tada! The green is the winner! This is perfect! It reminds me of District 12's woods.
(I have a surprise for tomorrows interview dress!)
Suddenly, I heard a very familiar voice arguing with another familiar voice.
"Reef, how many times do I have to tell you NOT to pull on my hair!" My 'cousin' Rue, her brother Reef, and my 'Aunt' Annie Cresta Odair filed into the roof, with Effie bringing up the rear!
"Surprise!" Rue called as she rushed over to hug me. It turns out ALL the living victors of the Hunger Games have been invited to this feast!
"Okay, lets get the greeting cleared up. We must stick to the schedule! Today is going to be a big, big day!"
"Hold up! Are you forgetting someone?" Johanna Mason asked as she raced to hug Mom and Dad.
I can't WAIT for the feast! Tune in tomorrow for our post-feast interviews with Caeser Flickerman!

Capitol Photoshoot Part 2
Effie found a notebooks of Cinna's (the one who died right before the Quarter Quell) entitled For The Baby Mockingjay, and inside were drawings of me!
"How did he know!? He was dead long before I even married Peeta!" Mom gasped as she flipped through the drawings of me in beautiful gowns and other outfits.
"I think even Cinna I could tell you loved me, even if it took you a Rebellion to realize it." Dad said sweetly putting his arm around her shoulders.
"Shut up Peeta!" Mom giggled, blushing.
"Yea, yea, its all so sweet, now lets choose one for that Memorial Party next week!" Haymitch said gruffly, eating a muffin that was on my plate a few seconds ago.
So I need YOUR help deciding which dress to wear! I know they are fuzzy, so just click on them to see them close up , and clear. Here are the top 5 designs/drawing....
Head on over to the POLL and vote for which outfit I wear for the Hunger Games Memorial Feast!
P.S. Please leave a comment after voting!
P.P.S. Hurry because I need to tell Venia my choose by next Wednesday! (Yes she is a amazingly quick seamstress, I think the Capitol machines help!)

A Capitol Photoshot Part 1
RING!! Our telephone rang at about 5:00 on Thurday morning.
"Who on earth would be calling at this time!?" My dad Peeta Mellark yawned, as he stumbled down the stairs of our house in the Victor's Village, of the remade District 12.
RING!! RING!! RING!! "Hello? Peeta Mellark speaking." Dad answered the phone. "Peeta? Its Effie!" "Effie!?" Dad yipped. "EFFIE?!" My Mom Katniss Everdeen Mellark screamed as she raced down the stairs, elbowed Dad out of the way, and grabbed the phone.
"Yea, its Effie." Effie Trinket's Capitol accent made its way up to the top the stairs, where my little brother Cinna (age 13) and I sat listening.
"And how are you dear Katniss?" Effie asked, but before Mom could answer Effie plowed forward. "So President Paylor thought of a wonderful idea! She has invited you, Peeta, Finch and Cinna to come to the Capitol and shoot some propos, AND do some pictures for a new fashion line your old prep team; Flavius, Octavia and Venia are launching! What do you think?"
There was a pause, and the sound of the phone dropping to the floor.
"Katniss? Honey, are you okay?" Dad asked. Cinna and I raced downstairs, and came to a halt in the kitchen to find Mom clutching the back of the chair, and breathing heavily.
"Katniss, answer me!" Dad said brushing the hair off her sweaty forehead.
"Peeta we can't go! Its were Finnick, Boggs, all those children, and Prim d-d-d-d-d-DIED!" Mom gasped.
"Katniss? Peeta?" Effie's voice came from the phone on the floor. Cinna picked it up and said, "Hey Effie? Yea its Cinna. Can we call you back in a few minutes? Thanks bye." All eyes reverted back Mom clutching the chair, and Dad trying to uncurl her fingers from it.
"Oh Peeta, we just can't go back! I swore the day I killed Coin I would never go back!" Dad nodded at me, as I'm sometimes the only one who can get Mom out of her flashbacks of the Rebellion and the Hunger Games. So I began to sing:

Just close your eyes
The Sun is going down
You'll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and I'll be...
Safe And Sound
Mom slowly uncurled her fingers and slid onto the chair.
"Okay. Lets call Effie."
ONE WEEK LATER....
Mom, Dad, Cinna, and I stood in the Meadow awaiting the hovercraft that would take us to the Capitol. "Whats a hovercraft like?" Cinna asked.
"Well its kind of like a plane, but it goes super fast, and...." Dad was cut off by a loud humming sound that seem to vibrate in my very bones. "Well lets see for yourself!" Dad yelled over the hum.
As we boarded the hovercraft, I noticed somebody who I had only seen in old footage of the Rebellion, and who I was forbidden to speak or ask questions of.
"GALE?!" Mom and Dad shrieked as Gale Hawthorne came towards us.
"Yes its me. And who are these fine young people?" He asked pulling playfully on my braid. Suddenly a hand covered my view of him and a sharp crack echoed inside the hovercraft.
"Don't. You. Dare. Touch. Them. Ever." Mom hissed. Gale looked as if he was going to cry.
"Katniss, it wasn't my fault."
"Yes. It. Was."
"No, Katniss listen..."
CRACK!
"MOM!" 'KATNISS!" Dad and Cinna grabbed Mom's hand before she could slap Gale again.
"Hey sweetheart, don't wreck his camera face." Uncle Haymitch said, coming from behind Gale.
Mom turned, and acting as if nothing had happened said, "Hello Haymitch. How are you? Im great thanks!" Then she turned on her heel and walked off down a hallway.
"Why are you here Gale?" Dad asked, looking as if he would kill, if Gale gave the wrong answer.
"Effie, thought it would be good idea if I came and participated in the propos." Gale said, holding his hand over the side of his face Mom had slapped.
"I always knew that woman was a twat." Dad sighed. "I'm so sorry about Katniss, she still hasn't gotten over Prim's death."
"I understand." Gale said holding out his hand. Dad hesitated and then shook it. "So who are these two?" Gale smiled looking over Dad's shoulder at Cinna and me.
"This is Finch Primrose, and this is Cinna Gale..." Dad trailed off.
"Gale? His middle name is Gale?" Gale's eyes filled with tears.
"Um... Yea... It was my idea. After Katniss came out of that little blissful state of seeing Cinna for the first time after he was born, I payed dearly for it." And then suddenly Dad and Gale where both laughing!
"What the heck?" I asked Uncle Haymitch.
"Well don't your mom, but Gale and Peeta have been keeping correspondence for years. I've been personally delivering their letters when I visit Plutarch in District 2." Haymitch laughed at the sight of us two in complete confusion. And then his face grew solemn "It was one of the bombs Gale designed that killed your Aunt Primrose." I felt shocked. I knew that Aunt Prim had been killed while trying to help injured Capitol children during the Assault at the time of the Rebellion (we learned about it at school) but whenever I asked Mom about she'd just start sobbing or go into her shock mode.
"What was Effie thinking!?" Cinna asked in disgust.
"I'm not sure... But I think this trip is going to be very interesting." Uncle Haymitch replied
STAY TUNED FOR PART 2
