Katniss
Our visit was cut short when we realized how little time we had. This sent me into a state of worry. How would we get Prim back now? The stress of her being in the Games was killing me, however, I didn't want to give up hope. After all, if something like this would've happened to me, she'd never give up, right?
Pushing my thoughts aside, I followed Gale and Posy as we headed inside Madge's house. Seeing as to the fact that she was Mayor Undersee's daughter, I figured they'd have some connections with the Capitol.
"Tell me you have a plan." I asked, as we settled down in her room. Looking around, almost as if she was making sure no one was listening in on us, she nodded, and began to explain.
"You know around this time period, they start sending out reporters to interview the families of the tributes," Madge started. I gave Gale a confused look. How would this help us?
"Now Katniss, before you say anything, keep listening. Anyway, these reporters happen to always come from one certain place, and one place only." I placed a hand against my forehead. I didn't want to spend all night solving riddles, I just wanted some straight answers! I hope for Prim's sake, Gale's getting this, I thought, before looking back at Madge. There seemed to be an awkward silence, because it was immediately broken by Gale.
"So, we snag a couple of reporter outfits, sneak onto the train, and somehow manage to get to the Capitol and do things from there?" He asked, while Madge excitedly nodded.
"Exactly."
I rolled my eyes at my ignorance. It was such a simple idea, turned completely complicated, all because I couldn't think. The two then looked at me, as if they wanted to hear my opinion on the matter. I quickly blurted out something along the lines of, 'not bad,' which seemed to please them both. We were then instructed that we were to spend the night at Madge's house, in order to catch the train, as well as prepare our disguises. Posy seemed thrilled by the idea, while I didn't sit well with it. I ended up tolerating it, continually repeating the mantra, 'this is for Prim, not for you.'
"I suggest you get to sleep as soon as possible. We're gonna have to wake up pretty early if we want to finish everything in time." She said, before escorting us to one of the guest rooms. "There's some spare clothes in the dresser, if you'd like. Gale, some of the shirts are my father's, but they look to be about your size. And Katniss, we're about the same, right? I threw some of my pajamas in there for you, though I wasn't really sure about Posy-"
"We're fine, Madge, really. Thanks for doing that, though." I stopped her, giving her a slight smile. Gale and Posy followed this action, while she only blushed.
"Well, good night guys." Madge gently closed the door before exiting, leaving Gale to give me a humorous smirk.
"What?" I asked, while he just laughed.
"Way to kick her out, Catnip. She was only being nice." He grinned, causing me to roll my eyes.
"I'm sorry for getting in the way of your future wife. Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be getting ready for bed, thank you very much."
I almost killed myself trying to keep myself from loosing it. Gale's reaction was priceless, and it wasn't this often I'd see him this way. Scooping up Posy, I selected a bed for us, then placed her down, removed both of our shoes, and threw a blanket over us. Hearing whatever Gale was going to say next would have to wait until morning.
No such luck.
After only falling asleep for five minutes, I felt myself being lifted up, and set on the floor. I gritted my teeth when I realized what he was trying to do.
"Gale, what the hell?" I asked, hitting his shoulder.
"Hey, I was lonely, and I don't think it's quite fair that Posy gains all the attention." This caused me to crack a smile.
"Gale, you realize you're an idiot, right?"
"I know. But that's why you love me."
"Shut up and fall asleep. And don't get any ideas." I whispered, not wanting to wake Posy up.
"Ruin all my fun, why don't you?" Gale sarcastically said, shutting off the light and giving me some space on the bed.
Slowly, but surely we fell asleep. Of course, I was completely dreading whatever the day would bring tomorrow. This was it. Were we finally going to get Prim?

It has to end there, because Fanfiction deleted the other half of it. Why does this keep happening? ):
