    Carolyn Faye was at the Capitol to discuss about something. Carol rushed quickly to the room she was sent to. Room 341. The first person she saw when Carol opened the door was Effie, Haymitch, McKenna, the Capitol crew, reporters, and camera people.

    "What's going on?" Carolyn asked as she examined the people in the room.

   "Well," Effie began. "the Capitol would like to see a strong and beautiful girl to be seen by hundreds of crowds."

     "Say what now?" Carol asked confused.

     "You get to go to all of the districts to be viewed by the Capitol people. You're going to learn different things from the people of each you meet." Haymitch explained for Effie.

     "Oh, okay," Carol grinned but stopped at her tracks. "But wait!"

     "What is it?" McKenna asked.

     "This is something Haymitch, Effie, and I have to discuss privately." The blondie announced.

     "Alright then." Sighed Haymitch as he and Effie followed Carolyn to a private room. Carol locked the door so no one could disturb their conversation.

      "So?" Effie inquired.

      "Remember about the time when I supposedly brang Cato back to life?" Carol quized the two.

     "Yeah," Haymitch snorted. "what about it?"

     "What if Cato figures out that was the girl?" Demanded Carolyn.

     "Don't worry," Effie assured her. "we'll make sure to think of something."

     "We?" Asked Haymitch.

    "Yes we." Effie elbowed Haymitch while she spoke in her fabulous Capitol accent.

    "Ugh." Haymitch once again sighed depressed.

    The blonde smiled happily. I just hope they're telling the truth, Carol worried to herself. A few seconds later, they were back in room 341. 

     "What do you say?" Asked Carlos, one of the reporters.

     "I'll do it." Carolyn smiled as reporters snapped their cameras to get a picture of her.

      Capitol reporters, Carol giggled.

    Carol was back at District 12. While walking, she saw kids running and chasing other kids happily. A girl almost knocked her to the ground.

       "Be careful!" Carolyn cried out.

        But Carol got no reply. Kids these days just don't know how to play it safe, Carolyn sighed sadly. But that's what kids do. Just let the kids be kids. This is only happens once. Soon they'll be old and they'll settle with their own family. I wonder who I'm going to start a family with, Carol thought out loud. Snap out of this! Your just 29!, she said to herself. Carolyn decided to go to her house to rest for a while.

        When Carol was back home, she received a phone call. It was Effie.

        Carol picked up her home phone and said, "Hello?"

       "Hello dearie!," Effie excalimed. "I figured out who could accompany you to go to all the districts!"

       "Who?" Questioned Carol.

       "Why, me of course!" Effie shouted out with joy.

       "You?" Carol inquired confused.

       "Yes me!" Effie beamed.

       "I think I can handle going to all districts tomorrow by myself." Carol explained.

      "Are you sure about this, sweety?" Effie asked concerned.

      "Yes; I'm sure Ef." Carolyn reasoned.

      "Okay then," Effie spoke. "but if you change your mind, call me!"

      "I will." Carolyn smiled then ended the call.

      Tommorow's gonna be a VERY LONG day, Carol thought.
