The Fourth Quarter Quell

Pre-game Interviews: District Five

Favonious Falcon's Perspective

The crowd settled down from the exit of Mike and Annalise.

"Okay, settle down." I laughed. "Let's welcome out next pair of tributes, a very intelligent duo. Please welcome Isabella Tanner and Logan Pike!"

Out they walked, in the same fashion as the tributes before them, arm in arm. Isabella's blond hair was curled and flowed down her back. Unlike the other girls, her dress was strapless and with a slightly poofy skirt. The royal blue bodice was decorated in shimmering silver gems that matched her shoes. Logan wore a black tuxedo with a royal blue dress shirt.

They greeted me and sat elegantly on the white couch.

"How are you both?" I asked.

"We're fantastic." Isabella tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear. "It's such an honor to be here being interviewed."

"My dear, it's an honor to be interviewing such intriguing people." I said humbly.

They both smiled warmly. Hopefully, they understood that I am truly humbled to be in their presence.

"Now, your entrance at the tribute parade a few days ago. That was spectacular!" I exclaimed.

"I loved our outfits." Isabella said, looking at Logan.

"It was nice to feel like a leader for once." Logan joked, earning some laughter.

"Well, your stylists are exceptional. From those outfits to what you both are

Wearing tonight, simply astonishing!" I pointed out.

Isabella smiled at me but it was an empty smile. She was playing a part, the part of a girl forced to act like she's okay with her current situation. On the inside was the truth.

"Let's proceed to some fan questions sent in." I suggested, pulling out a question. "To Logan: if you had to sacrifice yourself for any of the tributes, who would it be?"

Isabella stiffened ever so slightly as Logan had a blush growing.

"Well, Favonious. Id have to say anyone in my alliance. The five of them are fantastic and hilarious people with such great qualities. I would give my life if it meant their survival." Logan laughed softly.

"I understand." I said, eyes darting back and forth between the two tributes before me. Judging my Isabella's slump of relief and Logan's blush, could the two have some sort of history?

"Moving on," I said and dug out another question. "Ah! To the both of you: if you could choose the kind of arena you go into, what would it be an why?"

"I would say a forest." Isabella answered. "Because it offers plenty of natural resources, shelter, concealment, and it makes for a woodland adventure." She laughed at the last part.

"How about you, Logan?" I asked.

"Id have to agree with Bella." He said and Isabella's--or should I say Bella's--face flushed red with embarrassment.

"Bella?" I asked.

"My nickname. Only people who are really close to me can call me that." She said.

"I guess that counts me in, right?" I asked. The crowd laughed and so did Isabella.

"Of course, Favonious, you make the list." She smiled.

"Yes!" I cheered and the crowd laughed. "Well, I wish you both the best of luck tomorrow morning."

We stood up and I faced the crowd. "Let's hear it for our tributes from District Five, Isabella Tanner and Logan Pike."

The crowd raged with applause and adoration as the pair made their way offstage. Such a cute couple, I only hope they both survive.
