The Fandom Games (On Hold)

The Last Night

Maddy

"So, who'd you chat with?"
I ask Kari once we're back in our own apartment.

"Just a few people."
She says taking a bite of her sandwhich.

It's the last night before the Games.

We've trained, searched for possible allies, and tomorow we're going in.

We just got back from the interviews and I'll just say that they went more or less the way I expected.

For one thing, all the tributes openly expressed their "feelings" towards the Capitol for sending them back to the games.

I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say that they had to stop filming and had to calm down a mob of very angry people.

At one point I was expecting all the tributes to hold hands or something but we all kept our distance.

"What do you think Maddy?"

"Eh?"
I say snapping out of my thoughts.

"Allies? Who do you think we should team up with?"

Hm...

That is a very good question.

Thomas was cool I guess, but I don't really trust Minho.

"Barry."
I say.
"We can team up with Barry."

"Cool."
Kari says.

Then she just stares at me.

"Uh... What?"
"Go on."
"What'd ya mean?"
"What other allies have you picked?"
"That's all."
"What?"

I sigh.
"No one else was very chatty with me."
I take a bite out of the apple I'm eating.

"Well, I talked to some people."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
"Who?"

She looks nervous.

Weird.

"Jack, Will, and Legolas."

"Wow. Someone's popular."
I am impressed.

During their games, those three never talked to anyone.

They made no alliances either...

I wonder if they'd be willing this year?

"Do you think they'd make good allies?"
Kari asks.
"Half-a-Sorta."

"What?"
"They'd obviously make good allies. They all know how to fight and they're all very skilled in combat. Remember the rankings?"

The rankings had been shown earlier today.

I got a six out of twelve.

What can I say? I got pretty good with handling guns.

Kari got a seven.
Apparently Kari is good with a bow.

Anywho, Tony, Steve, Barry, Legolas, Tauriel, Jack, Will, and Katniss got twelves.

Everyone else hovered between nine and eleven.

"I'll try and work something out with Barry. But whether or not we have those other guys is up to you."

Kari ponders it for a moment.

"We'll team up with them."
She says.
"That is, if they want to team up with the lowest ranked tributes in the games."

I laugh.

"I'll talk with them before the games. See what I can work out."

"Okay."
Kari looks out the window overlooking the Captiol.
