"The Interview"

Melissa was measured again to make sure she hasn't grown.

She was fitted into her corset until she couldn't breathe. Her skirt was exactly like the one from the parade but had a long tail at the back of it to frame her legs better and it had a red underskirt. The shoes were normal Pointe shoes brand new but red. Her makeup was neutral mostly, she had rose petals on her eyes and red eye shadow, with bright red lips and red mascara. She had her hair dyed in red streaks and pulled back into bun.

"Melissa my baby, you look so beautiful." Makayla sniffed, Rose consoled her, while Amethyst gave her a tissue.

"Yes mum, I have to get in line though." Melissa said.

"Oh I almost forgot, do five pirouettes." Amethyst said, help Melissa get up from her chair and walking her to the line.

"What will happen." Melissa asked.

"It will be amazing don't worry about it." Amethyst said.

"Next up we have the wonderful Melissa Becker!" Caesar said. The crowd went wild.

Melissa walked out waving, smiling, the usual. Caesar took her hand gave her a spin to show off a little bit. They sat down.

"Now Melissa is it true that you are the daughter of two victors?"

"Yes, my mother of the 45th and my father of the 41st." Mel smiled.

"Yes, and your mother is her with what about your father?" Caesar asked.

"Umm, he died in a weaponry accident." Mel lied through her teeth.

"Well, that is tragic what else about your family." Caesar said changing the subject.

"Well, there's Maverick he is my baby brother, Enobaria is like my older sis-" Mel said but was cut off.

"Enobaria winner of 62nd hunger games?" Caesar asked shocked.

"Yeah, I've known her since I was twelve. Anyway, then there Angie she's my aunt not really though." Mel said.

"Really, were almost out of time, anything else you like to say." Caesar asked really interested in her family tree.

"Ahh, yes Mav I love you Enobaria and Angie take care of him I love you too, and one last thing." Melissa stood and got in fourth position and started.
