THE HUNGER GAMES - MK UNIVERSE (FINISHED)

CARPOOL KARAOKE

Okay. Our show is the last to go on air.

We had three days to prepare ourselves to the Carpool Karaoke. Well, on that day, at least our skills with weapons have improved a lot. I already knew how to cut someone's throat and get away from grappling. Those techniques from Lewis are really helpful. And what about Daniel and Zoe? They are following us? They really want to have a talk, but I am afraid of get attached to them.
Anyway, Lewis was always paying attention to my moves and teaching something new to me. I could survive on the arena... That's how I feel.

After our lunch, we were called by a producer and they told us to get ready for the Carpool Karaoke.
- Lewis Tan and Fernanda Barton, please.
- I am ready! Call Ellie for make-up.
- She's already on it mr. Tan.
We did what the man asked us to do. We took a shower, I got dressed with my leather dress, my high boots and my hair was all natural, with some waves on it. Ellie made my make-up and I was looking so fucking different... I never used eyeliner, eye shadows, blush, highlights in my cheek... And red lipstick. Wow. I never looked that good. Lewis used only some powder to hide his pores.
- Okay, District 12, you are ready to go. Let's walk through the Capitol!

Lewis and I left the building, and stood hidden from people. The car would get us in an instant... I was a little shy, I confess. Lewis could not stop staring at me...
- Fer... You are stunning! We will kill James Corden tonight.
- Thank you... and I hope so.
- We will. Trust me. - Lewis grabbed my hand with strength and started to look at me with his fierce eyes - the sun was making his eyelids look clearer than I was used to, and I caught myself staring so deeply... I felt him approaching my face. I did the same, closing my eyes as he was getting closer. My heart beat got faster and I felt his hand getting around my waist...

- Hello!
- What? - I opened my eyes, we moved apart and I saw Lewis scared. What was happening?
We saw the SUV and there he was, James Corden himself.
- Hello, District 12! Was I interrupting something? I am sorry...
- Ah... Let's get inside, Lewis?
- After you.
- Wow, you two look good! Your names? Oh, sorry I have them here. You are Fernanda Barton, the volunteer lady, right?
- That's me... Nice to meet you mr Corden.
- So it means you are Lewis Tan. The martial artist!
- Yes... Exactly.
- Don't be shy, guys! I will not say a word about your affair.
- It's not an affair - Lewis said. My stomach was turning around and I was really confused.
- Hey, relax guys. Let me tell you two this. Let's play and forget about Hunger Games. Have fun and we will start recording in 10 minutes.
- Don't worry, I am fine. But I suck at singing. - Lewis said.
- So do I! And people love me still! - Mr Corden replied. I recovered myself with a whole bottle of water.
- What we will do in your show? - I asked.
- We'll do some trivia questions, nothing about the Games. And you will sing songs with me.
- That sounds good. - I said.
- I can sense you two have good sense of humor and are in love.
I started to look at Lewis and he just made a grin. I hope he really don't open his mouth about what he saw!
- Mr Corden... I don't know what you saw, but it's not what it seems. - I said.
- I won't say nothing. I swear.
- I believe it's the best option possible, if you don't mind... - Lewis said seriously.
- It's safe with me. Ok, 30 seconds to go... Get your best smiles on camera!
Wow, everything was fast! The man was trying to calm us down and he did.

The show started and it was being broadcasted live through all Panem. OMG, I can imagine my mom and Juju watching me.
- Hey guys, welcome to the Carpool Karaoke! I am here with these lovely people from District 12, Fernanda and Lewis!
- Yay! Hello - I said.
- Hi, mom! - Lewis said.
- And we're here not to talk about Hunger Games, but about trivial questions. Are you two ready?
- Sure! - I smiled and started to laugh.
- Yes, we are - Lewis replied.
- Guys, in District 12 what kind of music do you like to hear?
- Well... I will tell by my taste... I like some classic music. Like Beethoven, Bach, etc. But I already did some DJ works - Lewis said.
- Oh wow, he is fancy! And you Fernanda?
- I am... I'm addicted to an old TV show called Eurovision Song Contest. It was on Europe? I think it was... The last one I watched was in The Netherlands.
- My parents told me that was good! This contest was very popular. Do you remember any song of it? A winner one?
- Yes, I can sing it to you. This is from 2015! From the old lands of Sweden. "Don't tell the gods I left a mess, I can't undo what's been done... Let's run for cover..."
- Oh, I remember this one! The chorus says... WE ARE THE HEROES OF OUR TIME!! - Corden knew the song!
- But we're dancing with the demons in our minds... Heroes, oooow!! - I finished.
- The one I remember from this contest is from old United Kingdom. - Lewis was about to sing Eurovision. Damn.
"Love shine a light, in every corner of my heart, let the love light carry, let the love light carry, light up the magic in every little part, let our love shine a light, in every corner of our hearts..." - He sang. Not so good but he did.
- Katrina and the Waves!! Cool, Lewis! What else do you know to sing? I know only a few people in District 12 has access to music.
- But I do, James... It's a good way to distract from our reality - I said.
- So do I! - Lewis said.
- Lewis, let's sing that one from Måneskin. What do you think? - I said with a smile on my face and I saw Lewis smiling too.
- Uh, old italian music, mamma mia! - James Corden said and we laughed. He started to play it on the radio... And we started to sing in one tone:
- I wanna be your slave, I wanna be your master, I wanna make your heart beat run like rollercoasters...
James followed us. It was so much fun!
- I wanna be a good boy, I wanna be a gangster, 'cause you can be the beauty and I can be the monster!
- Yeah, that was a banger guys!!! - James Corden said. I was static and Lewis was happy too.
- Let's see if you know this one... - He started to play Montero. It was the hit of the moment in Capitol.
- Call me when you want, call me when you need, I'll be on the way like mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm... - I was singing but looking at Lewis doing the mmms. He was so hot... Damn!
Yeah, we knew that song and it was so much fun to be with someone so happy as James Corden. But we both know that Hunger Games is not about entertainment. It's about our lives. The reality shock got me at some point and I started to get serious again.
- Okay, Fernanda and Lewis, thank you so much for riding with us! Good luck at the Games!
- Thank you so much, James. - Lewis said.
- Thanks mr. Corden! And about what you saw...
- What did I see? Hey, it's with me and no one else. - He blinked at me and I just nodded.
