Jamaica's POV:
"Hey Mom! Your home early!" I say excited that she's back.
"Yup. So go pack your bags." She says. What? Where are we going?
"Where are we going?" I ask, confused.
"...Somewhere." She says, smirking.
"Okay, fine. Don't tell me." I say sassily.
"Okay. I won't!" She laughs.
"Ugh... I give up! Thanks Mom!" I say sarcastically.
"Anytime!" She responds.
I go upstairs to start packing my bag for the,'mystery location'.

Finn's POV:
"Mum, your back!" I engulf Mom in a big bear hug.
"Yes. I'm back Finn and I have a surprise for you..." She says.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Just go upstairs and pack your bags. I'll tell you on the way there." She says.
"Okay." I nod and go upstairs. I wonder what's going on inside that wild mind of hers.

Rye's POV:
"Hey guys! Your home early!" I say excitedly.
"Yeah. The meeting ended quicker than expected. We have some things to tell you." Dad says calmly.
"What is it, Dad? You know I hate suspense." Willow comments.
"Okay. What do you want to hear first? The bad news or the good news?" Mom says.
"Bad." Willow and I comment at the same time.
"Okay. Well, there is going to be one last quell. You know like the Hunger Games?" Dad says.
"Yes." Willow and I say at the same time, again.
"What's the good news?" I ask, curiously.
"The good news is that we are having a few guests over. They should be here any minute now." Mom says, cheerfully.
"Okay. Should we clean up the house a bit?" Willow asks.
"Yes. That would be wonderful. Ladies, clean. Men, cook. Sound good?" Mom asks.
"Yes. Perfect." I say.
I wonder who's coming over....
Willow's POV:
"Okay. So who's coming over?" I ask mom while we are cleaning.
"It's a secret...." She says, mischievously.
"Oh. That's great information, Mom." I say sarcastically.
"You'll find out soon enough, sweetheart." She says, kissing my forehead.

"Hello- Johanna Mason?" Rye says. I literally run to the door.
"Yes. It's she." Johanna says.
"Let me guess, your one of our 'guests'?" I say.
"Yes. Are your parents home?" She asks eager to get inside.
"We're right here." Dad yells from the kitchen. "Come in." He adds.
Johanna comes in with a girl with light brown skin, about Rye's age.
"Hi. I'm Willow. You are?" I ask the girl behind Johanna.
"Hey! I'm Jamaica. Johanna's daughter." She says excitedly.
"Nice to meet you!" I say.
"So your Willow. Your brother over there is Rye, right?" She says pointing at Rye.
"Yes. He's 13 and I'm about to turn 17." I say proudly.
"Nice. I'm 13 also." Jamaica says.
"Awesome! So, Jamaica-" I get cut off by Jamaica.
"Call me 'Maica." She says, smiling. "Sorry, it will take less time to say my name that way. Go on." She adds.
"Do you want to go walk around outside?" I ask, when the doorbell rings, again.
"Does this thing ever shut up?!?" I ask the air, angrily.
Everyone laughs at me. I smirk.
I open the door to Annie Cresta and a boy around my age.
"Hello. Is this the Mellark household?" Annie asks.
"Yes. It is. Come in." I say happily.
Annie walks in and greets my parents and Johanna, while I greet the boy.
"Hi. I'm Willow. Your Annie's son, right?" I ask.
"Yes. I'm Finn Tai Odair." He introduces himself, picking up my hand and kissing it.
I blush. "Nice to meet you. This is Jamaica, Maica for short." I say, motioning for Maica to come over here.
"Hey! I'm Maica!" She says loudly.
"So I've heard..." He says shaking her hand and leaning in to give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Lunch is served." Dad says like the Capitol people.
"Thanks. We're going to go on a walk real quick. Give them a tour." I say motioning to Maica and Finn. " Rye's coming, too." I say leaving the house.
"So you and you are 13," I say pointing at Maica and Rye. "I'm 17 and you are..."I say pointing at Finn.
"18. So, 13, 13, 17, and 18?" He asks, making sure he got that correct.
"Yes." I say. "Should we head back? I mean lunch was ready when we left." I ask.
They all agree and start walking towards the house.
While we are walking, people keep taking pictures and asking us questions when we walk by them.
We all ignore them and keep walking.
We get to the house to eat lunch. It's mine and mom's favorite. Lamb Stew with Dried Plums. Yum.
We are all eating and Dad says that they are announcing the quarter quell request tonight.
He also said that Johanna, Annie, Finn, and Jamaica are staying a few nights until the reaping, when they have to be in their own district.
All afternoon, we joke around and tell stories of our childhood.
I wonder what President Paylor is going to read on the quell request....
