The Hunger Games - Second Quarter

17

"Morning sunshine." Haymitch says.
"Hi." I say.
"Sleep well?" He asks.
"I had a wierd dream." I reply sitting down across from him.
"About?" He asks putting down the paper he was reading.
"I was a bird flying over a crumbled city and 48 tributes like there's supposed to be this year were all surrounding the cornucopia including me. I was one of the first people to the cornucopia and I grabbed knives and a sword and then I was tackled by a girl, before she could kill me a girl with dark hair with these piercing green eyes killed her when I looked up at her she smiled, I think she was an ally." I tell him.
"That girl sounds an awful like Phoebe Willows, the girl who won the 67th Hunger Games," Haymitch says, "There was a surprise quarter quell where two victors were crowned if they were from the same district. "
"But I thought Katniss and Peeta were the first ones. " I said.
"Well yeah technically, in a non-quarter quell; the capitol regretted doing that surprise quarter quell so they got rid of every recording of that Hunger Games. Her and her district partner, Brandon Brown didn't even get to go on a tour." Haymitch tells me, "they didn't think two kids would even end up making it."
"Tell me more about her." I say intrigued, could this really be the girl I dreamt of?
"Phoebe won at 17, she and her district partner Brandon Brown are from district 10. They were a force to be reckoned with, took on the careers in such a genius way." Haymitch says, "they're married now, despite him being engaged when he went into the games."
"Did you know her?" I ask.
"Yeah I knew her, she's great." Haymitch says.
"Who was his finance?" I ask.
"Her name was Leanne Johnson, she proposed a few weeks before the reaping, he was going to break up with her that day but since she proposed in front of her whole family he had to say yes." Haymitch says.
"What happened? " I ask.
"Full of questions." Haymitch laughs.
"I wanna know!" I reply.
He continues, "Phoebe and Brandon kissed during the games, she saw this and told him that he loved Phoebe and they broke up."
"What happened with the careers?" I ask.
"They took the parachutes that come from sponsors, filled it up with night lock and sent it down to the hungry careers." He tells me, "genius."
"Wow." I say.
"Too bad they both got reaped this year." Haymitch says.
"They did?" I ask, "I wish these stupid games would just stop. "
"As do I," Haymitch says reading his paper again,"As do I."
"Morning sweeties." Effie chirps walking into the room.
"Morning Effie," I say, turning to haymitch, "I want to know more, is there anymore tapes?"
"I told you, there is no more tapes." Haymitch says.
"No more tapes of what?" Effie asks.
"Elsa wants to see Phoebe Willows tapes." Haymitch replies behind his paper.
"They're all gone." Effie says.
"That's what I told her. " Haymitch says looking at me.
"Except for mine." Effie says.
"What?" Haymitch and I say at the same time.
"All the escorts are supposed to have all the tapes so we know exactly what our district is like and Mr. President Snow also has one." Effie says.
"So you have a tape?" I ask.
"Indeed I do." Effie replies.
"Can I pretty please watch it?" I ask.
"Well since you said Please, of course you can." She says
