This is my first fanfic! Constructive criticism is supported!
This story takes place in Panem. The government is a monarchy. Katniss is next in line for the throne. But to become a queen, she must marry. Who shall it be?
My inspiration was from the movie Princess Diaries :P . Movie was kinda lame. But the story has totally different twists and plots! NO HG in this! THIS STORY IS DIFFERENT FROM THE MOVIE :)
Give it a chance. Enjoy :) It's a Kato fanfic!
Disclaimer-I don't own PD. Or HG characters.
Katniss POV
Wake up!
I wake up to my grandma Enobaria, who is the Queen of this big land.
I am eighteen and from the Capitol, the riches of all because it is where the royal family lives. Including me, Princess Katniss Rose Everdeen. I hope to take my grandma's throne in a few months and change this world into a better place. Right now in the 12 districts, people are in poverty. Mostly in districts 7-12 and I wish to change that when I take over.
There is no king right now because my grandpa Brutus has passed away with lung cancer. Even the Capitol's finest technology could not save him.
"Katniss wake up girl. You are to associate with fellow citizens today. Your image must look good to become Queen of Panem." Enobaria says.
I sigh. There are alot of procedures to becoming the next queen. "Yes grandma. Can you call my avox?" I ask
She nods at me and leaves. A minute later my avox is here.(Avox is just another word for maid. THEY HAVE THEIR TONGUES!)
She goes into the closet and comes out with a dress bag and places it on my bed and leaves saying "Bye!"
I crawl over to the edge of my big king sized bed and pick it up. I open the bag to reveal a shimmering simple strapless yellow dress that ends right above my knees and there is a white ribbon in the middle that is decorated with real white diamonds. Diamonds are a luxury here in the Capitol.
This dress must be made by my personal designer and friend Cinna Oswald, oh he has the most talented hands I have ever seen. Give him some fabric and BAM! A gorgeous dress.
I strip out of my silk pjs and right when I was about to put it on, my prep team barges in.
"Oh Princess! Not yet!" Venia, Flavius and Octavia yell in unison.
They prep me up to the nicest, but since my leg hair tends to grow over night they have to wax it and now my legs still sting. But hey, beauty hurts.
Finally they help me into my exgravagant dress and leave with kisses to my cheeks. Right when they leave, Effie my grandma's assistant walks in. When will I get a break? Right, never.
"Katniss dear! We must get going to meet your lovely citizens!" She says in her high pitched Capitol accent that I was lucky enough not to recieve since it does not run in this family.
She escorts me out to the garden where people are chattering but stops when they see me. They bow down to me. It's annoying really. Effie smiles at this though. "I'm so glad we all have such wonderful manners!" She says. I roll my eyes at her.
"You may stand now." I tell the people still bowing with their heads down.
They all stand up and smile at me with altered teeth.
After hours of talking, smiling and questions, I finally go back inside and change into regular clothes. Blue tank top and white jeans. My friends Clove and Johanna are over to hang out. They are both regular capitol citizens and are not royal, but they are still really cool.
Clove and Johanna come into my room with grins on their face.
"Why hello future queen!" Clove says with a fake Capitol accent. Both of them don't have the accent either.
"Do you know how tiring it is to fucking get ready?" I groan and stuff my face into a pillow. It's a habit for me.
Johanna fake gasps. "The future queen is using bad language! Call Effie!" she dramatically puts her hand over her heart, like she almost had a heart attack.
Clove and I roll our eyes.
"I like a good tough queen. I am so tired of 'Manners are expected from all!' speech that Queen Enobaria gives each year. But I think she doesn't mean it though" Clove smirks as she examines a bread roll, before eating it.
"Guys what's that?" Johanna questions, scanning the room.
"What?"
"That. Be quiet. Do you hear it?"
We all turn silent. Then I hear mumbling.
"I hear it! It's coming through the vent!" Clove points to the vent above my dresser.
"Katniss. Climb." Clove orders firmly, as she trys to tune in on the conversation.
"Fine." I take off my shoes and climb onto the dresser and put my ear on the vent.
"It's the royal court!" I whisper loudly, with wide eyes. I never knew there were was a session today. . .
"What are they saying?" Johanna asks eagerly with a raised brow.
"I hear Enobaria. She says, 'Katniss is only eighteen! She can't get married now.' The court justice replies 'Princess Katniss must marry in order to recieve the crown.' I hear Enobaria sigh. 'Oh fine.'"
"Wait what!" I stumble and fall on my bed face first, still in shock.
"You have to get married?" Johanna and Clove shout in unison. I'm surprised as they are.
Yeah how do you like it so far? This story will have a love traingle. ^.^
The story is nothing like the movie! Only the idea is from the movie. So yeah. :)
