Our Life After

Planning

*Peeta's POV*

Haymitch, of course, tells us to dial Effie. I've not seen her in a while, but I trust her to be a party planner, given that she's from the Capitol. I call her as soon as I get back home. She answers on the second ring.

"Hello! Hello! Hello! How are you darling?"

"I'm doing great, Effie. How are you?"

"Oh, I'm just FABULOUS. I just was planning a trip down there to 12 to visit! How does that sound?"

" It sounds great, Effie. But I have some news about me and Katniss."

"Oh no! Is everything alright?"

"No, everything's great, as a matter of fact me and Katniss at getting married!"

"Oh, darling that's fabulous!"

"And we'd like you to help us plan it."

"I AM SO EXCITED!!! I have to go, I'll be in 12 in a week and we'll start as soon as I get there!"

As promised, Effie shows up one week later on a Saturday morning. But unlike she promised, she is worn out from the long trip, and decides to take a nap, which I didn't mind. She slept until dinner, which I prepared carrot soup, a fancy shrimp risotto, and a caramel chocolate cake for dessert.

When she woke up, she was delighted to see the meal. But when she came down the stairs, it was a sight to see. The Effie we had come to know was gone. She had simple blonde, naturally curly hair that fell just below her shoulders, bright blue eyes, and absolutely zero makeup, and I thought she was beautiful. Had she grown up in 12 instead of the Capitol, she would have been beautiful.

"I know what you are going to say. I look terrible but a day's travel wears one out sometimes."

"Effie," Katniss says, "I think you look beautiful."

That was the end of the conversation as we all sat down and ate away. We chatted about the wedding over dinner. Me and Katniss agreed that we wanted it to be pretty simple, but elegant. After a night of discussion, the only decision we came to was the time and the place.

"Who have you told about it?" Effie asks.

"Honestly, just you, Haymitch, and my mom," Katniss replies.

"What about your friend? Oh, what was his name..... Oh! Gale! Have you told him?"

"Um, no..... I'm not sure how to tell him," Katniss says shyly.

"Well he's on the invite list I've drawn up so far, so you'd better do it soon." Effie says after a long pause.
