Peeta's POV-
The following morning, I get up and comb through my hair. I go eat some breakfast and find Haymitch sitting at the table with a piece of toast in his hand. "Good morning, Peeta, was it?" I give a nod. "Well I thought about this....um....mentoring thing and I started thinking that, District 12 needs another victor so, I'll mentor you."

"So let's see.....how would you find shelter in a frozen tundra? Take a guess." I think for a while and reply, "Scramble together some sticks and make a hut until I could get some sponsors." He shakes his head. "You would freeze to death." "No, because I would light a fire." "That's a good way to get killed."

"What's a good way to get killed?" Katniss walks in and sits down next to me. "Oh joy...." Haymitch says. "Why don't you join us? I was just giving some life saving advice." Katniss shrugs. "What kind of advice?" I don't even think before I interject. "Oh, I was just asking how I can find shelter."
Why can't I ever think when I'm around her!

"How do you find shelter?" Katniss asks. Haymitch shakes his head. "Give me a chance to wake up sweetheart! This mentoring is very taxing stuff." He pulls out a flask that contains alcohol, of course, and pours it into an empty cup. I look over to Katniss, who is annoyed at this point. "How do you find shelter?" She asks once more, anger rising in her voice. "Pass the marmalade-"

I don't even think Katniss was thinking. She snatched a knife off the table and brought it down to a placement Haymitch's hand was resting on. "How. Do. You. Find. Shelter." Haymitch looks shocked, but impressed at the same time. "Look at you!" He says in a sarcastic tone. "You just stabbed a place placemat!" He says pulling the knife out of it. "Look, when your in the games, and your starving, a knife, water, or even some matches could mean the difference between life and death." He says dipping his knife in the marmalade. "And those things only come from sponsors. And to get sponsors, you have to make people like you."

Katniss is taken aback by the this statement. I can see Haymitch chuckling a little. "Oh! Not what you were expecting isn't it?" Out of the corner of my eye I can see the train we are on has reached the capital. I turn and see wonderful buildings that look gorgeous under the glistening sun. "There it is!" I say walking up to the window, looking at the glorious sight. "It's incredible!"

My view is cut off by the train entering a black tunnel. Lights flash through the window as we enter another location.

Finally we get through the tunnel and all I can see when we enter is, sponsors. They fill the crowd. I decide to do what Haymitch said and start on their good side. I give everyone a small wave and with that, everyone stands up out of their chair. They must take The Hunger Games very seriously. As I wave some more I can here Haymitch say, "I better keep this knife. He knows what he's doing."
