Gale walked into my room. I had been sitting on the window bench, looking at the yellow flowers. When I heard the door open I had tried to slink down and pretend I was asleep, but it didn't work. ''Hey sweatheart.'' That's what Haymitch calls all the girls... sweetheart number one (Aunt Katniss), number two (Finch) and then me. One day, by accident he called me sweatheart. I think he was a little drunk, but who knows...
Now Gale calls me that for life. ''Wassup, honey?'' I asked. He turned pink. Gale and I don't have anything going on, let me tell you, but Haymitch also called Gale honey. I will never let Gale forget it...
''Nothing much. You shouldn't try for gangster. You should try for alien princess,'' Gale informed me. I was about to stick my tongue out at him. ;) Earlier at a photo shoot today (not really today... a few days ago at least) they (the people who don't tell us their names) dressed Finch, Johanna, and me up as a 'family' for the new 'Happy Families, Happy Panem!' Johanna had been promoting a Chinese style business suit, Finch was doing fashion for teens, and though I'm only a year younger than Finch I was 'seven'. I wore a green alien costume, labeled as 'Princess Zerki's spacewoman outfit!'. It was the worst day of my life. :P
They had also tried to get Gale and I holding hands... at which Mom refused and looked like she was going to boil over. Gale refused, too, and so did I. Haymitch got really angry though and said: ''Whatever! Who cares, give the capitol a little love story!'' And at which I promptly said: ''Get Gale dating Johanna, then, and I'll pretend I'm heart-broken.'' Haymitch admitted it wasn't a bad idea. I had said it sarcastically though. :p
So now who knows what comes next. Part3 should be the last....

Why I took revenge on Gale... part1
So, below you'll see my interview. My 'ha! ha! Gale, revenge!' interview. :)
But why did I do it? It all goes back to the second day we arrived in the Capitol.
''Gale is sorta like a body-guard. But mostly he's just here for his 'camera-face','' Finch explained to me while we were walking outside. Gale. Big bulky somewhat cute for an old dude madman named Gale. Okay, I got it, I thought. ''He's also the one who designed the bombs that... that killed Aunt Prim,'' Finch said. I froze. Killing? Not good. ''I think you'll---'' Prim was cut off by some dude (who looked younger than he was and was somewhat cuter than I imagined) yelling.
''Your father died, Gale, in a mine accident.''
''Where is he? I want Father!''
''Waa!''
''Make Posy shut up!''
''Father is... Father is... dead.''
Voices drowned my head, and I had fallen to the ground. Finch was screaming, Gale was rushing towards us, and I had no idea what was going on. Nothing, perhaps. Just lucid dreaming, maybe. But is wasn't. I stood up, still slightly dizzy. It was like somebody else took over my brain. ''Gale,'' I muttered and searched around until I found him. I don't know what happened, but the next thing I was in full-combat with Gale. Let me tell you, it feels odd to fight a full grown man, being all but 15. Then Gale just stopped fighting. I realize now that he didn't do it because he is puny and weak, but because he didn't want to hurt me. :P So he let me hurt him. On purpose. And I can never repay him.

Interviews!
''Just a bit tighter... There! Dear, that wasn't so bad, was it?'' Aeura asked. I didn't answer, because I could barely breath.
After the Mellarks' went (they were so funny), it was our turn. ''Now we'd like to bring on the Odair family!'' He screamed. Really, he screamed. The crowd was still being so noisy after the Mellarks. Then the crowd quieted down. ''Rue and Reef,'' He said and there was a small round of applause. ''And their mother, Annie!'' A little more. We weren't really bringing the house down. ''You look wonderful, Rue. Would you turn for us?'' He asked. I glanced at Mom. She nodded. I turned. ''Simply amazing! What do you think about your dress?'' He asked. ''Painful.'' I answered. He laughed. ''And you, Reef?'' ''I'm not wearing a dress,'' Reef answered. He was looking at the crowd, probably at some pretty girl. The crowd laughed, a real laugh. ''Wait, what?'' He asked, looking up. The crowd laughed harder. ''Maybe I'll ask your mother some questions. Just one more for Rue. Any person in your life, Rue?'' I looked up. Huh? Oh, person in life. Big bang love story for the crowd. Perfect. ''Well, there is the one person,'' I sighed, looking bashfully down. Mom's eyes widened. ''Hmm?'' ''Yes. He's, very nice, you see. He's name is,'' I sighed dramatically. ''Gale.'' Mom tried not to laugh. I was getting back at Gale, you see. Ha! Reef looked at me oddly. He didn't know what I was doing. The cameras turned towards Gale. He was red, and looked like he was choking. He knew I was getting back at him.

Very Modest, Yes?
Just three days after Mom had given me the letter a plane arrived. We quickly got to Panem, where Mom's old prep team were waiting. They had retired before the rebellion, so they lived on. ''Perfect! You now have little boy and girl too! I design clothes for them, too!'' Mom's team chattered. They had an odd accent, not from Panem. Where else was there? I had been taught in school that Panem was the most powerful country, but not the only one.
~One Week After~
''You try on your clothes now, no? I had very hard time! Very modest, yes? Not fancy, from designs you showed me! So I modified some, no? Let's try!'' Aeura asked.
Here are the designs....
Hunting/normal outfit Fancy outfit Fancy outfit
Fancy Outfit Fancy outfit Fancy outfit
You might of noticed but most of my fancy outfits seemed to be my ''normal'' clothes. I had a problem with this, and I told Aeura so. ''Little girl, don't you know? Fancy dress all the rage now!'' Aeura laughed.
