Summary
When the first bomb falls on her house she imagines it must be a little like a meteorite, a falling star, dripping sparks like stardust in its wake. As the room around her goes bright white and then dark, Madge holds her clasped hands to her chest and wishes.
-or-
Madge Undersee dies in the bombing of District 12 and wakes up the morning of the Reaping for the 74th Hunger Games. It fixes nothing.

Summary
The new inspector is beautiful. It’s Gale’s first thought when he sees her, golden hair and big, expressive eyes and legs that go on for days under her regulation black pencil skirt. She’s beautiful and Gale has never trusted beautiful things.
His second thought is that she’s in over her pretty little head. Tonight’s mission is going to be rough, he can already tell, and she’s standing there wide eyed showing Inspector Mellark her shiny new credentials with no idea what’s in store for her. She laughs at something Mellark says, tucking her badge back into her coat pocket, and Gale flicks out his cigarette, crushing it under his heel.
He leans over to Abernathy, who’s always ready for a joke at a rookie’s expense, but the man’s staring at the new girl like she’s a damn ghost. Before he can ask what that’s all about, Everdeen is walking past, elbowing him in the arm with a hissed, “Don’t even think about it.”
Gale scowls, “I wasn’t thinking about anything.”
“That figures,” Mason snarks, “When are you ever?”

Summary
“Gale can be a bit,” Katniss furrows her brow and squints in thought, “Obtuse.”
Madge huffs out a laugh as the two begin their trek down the hall, pulling a small letter from her coat pocket, “That’s one word for it. But trust me, I was very direct in my message, and I have a whole speech prepared and everything. Peeta read over it and said it would definitely elicit a positive response.”
Katniss purses her lips, looking dubiously at the pink, be-hearted envelope, “Really?”
“Yes, I don’t think there’s any possible way he could misconstrue my meaning this time,” Madge frowns, pulling the envelope closer to her chest and away from Katniss’ judgmental gaze, “And before you say anything, this is the only stationary I had on hand and I was not about to buy brand new stationary just for him. It would be a waste.”
“I’m sure he’ll appreciate your thrift,” Katniss sighs, shaking her head, but there is a small smile playing upon her lips and Madge takes it as a win.
