For the 75th Hunger Games, not only did the existing pool of victors have to go back, they'd pull twice as many tributes that haven't been in the games. Effie went to the girls' bowl and picked up the only slip in there.
"Katniss Everdeen." Effie then went to the boys' and picked a slip up. She took a deep breath and whispered,
"Haymitch Abernathy."
"I volunteer!" Peeta yelled. Katniss was crying. No, howling. She made choking noises and hid her face.
"Ladies again..." Effie went to the bowl full of slips and picked one. Effie's eyes widened and a tear ran down her cheek. "Primrose Everdeen." Katniss let it go. She screamed as loud as she could. Not her little duck. Prim dragged herself to the stage and hugged Katniss tightly. Katniss was choking on her tears as she stroked Prim's hair. Effie was already at the boys' slips and she read the name, slowly.
"Gale Hawthorne." Everybody's mouths dropped open. Effie was crying. She whispered her last line...
"Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor."
