The Derp Games

Chapter 11

Marty is on the phone with someone, but when he sees me walk over, he makes a surprised face,

"Mom, I'm going to have to call you back! Something magical is happening!"

He puts his phone back in his pocket and turns to face me.

"So here we are, burger-girl. Do you think you handle...THIS?!"

He stands up and starts moon walking, keeping his eyes on me the entire time.

"Yeah yeah. Impressive. Lets get this over with," I say.

I walk over to the chair and sit down. When I look to my left I see a small girl being escorted out of the arena. I recognize her from the interviews; its Boo.

"Are you looking at Boo?" asks Marty.

"Yeah, she must've lost the last round," I say.

"She was up against me. She didn't have a chance. I broke her arm," says Marty, trying to sound impressive, but its not working.

I stare over at Boo and notice a small cast over her small arm. That's not fair. She was so little.

I'm going to beat this round for Boo. I walk over to Boo and sign her cast. She cries in pain.

"I'm going to beat Marty for you," I whisper.

She nods in tears and leaves the room. I turn around to face Marty and sit down.

"Let's get this over with," I say again.

Marty rolls his eyes and holds his hand out to me. From behind him I can see Peewee is against the girl from District 2, Chop. He looks completely focused. It takes me a minute to realize that the cameras are on me. I see myself on screen and I look totally lost in Peewee's eyes. The crowd is chanting from behind us,

"PEEPISS! PEEPISS! PEEPISS!"

Claudia looks at me and smiles.

I guess she really did spread around that ship name.

Before I can get my thoughts together, I hear Claudia yell "Go!"

I quickly push down Marty's hand against the table. That was easy.

"Dayyuuummm girl," is all he can say.

I flip the table over, stand up, and start fist-pumping. The crowd goes wild!

"PEEPISS! PEEPISS!" They chant.

The crowd loves us!...Well they love me anyway. Peewee is just the eye-candy.

Where is Peewee anyway? I look to the table where he was competing with Chop, and see him on the floor, unconscious.

I quickly run to his side and start shaking him,

"PEEWEE!!!!!" I scream.

He slowly opens one eye, and then the other.

"Dogpiss? What happened?" he says.

"I'm not sure, but I won!" I say.

Before Peewee can respond, he is escorted away by the Peacekeepers.
