Title: Peeta's Peculiar Fishing Technique INT. PEETA'S BEDROOM - MORNING As the golden morning light creeps through the window of a rustic cottage in District 12, PEETA MELLARK, the dashing baker with baby-blue icing eyes and an unexpected proclivity for pastry and survival, stretches his limbs with a yawn that could wake a hibernating bear. He is suddenly hit with a craving. PEETA (With an epiphany) Ah, nothing like fish for breakfast to start a champion's day! Grinning ear to ear, Peeta jumps out of bed, revealing his bakers' buns -- a pale, kneadable surface that has seen less sunlight than the underbelly of a loaf of his famous rye bread. His cheeks are as doughy and untanned as the crescent moon on a cloudless night, and just as likely to draw the giggles from a mischievous satyr. EXT. PEETA'S COTTAGE - POND - MORNING Eager and nude as the day he was bread--I mean bred--Peeta skips toward the pond, his bakery buns quivering with each carefree step, a burlap sack swinging from his hand. He is the epitome of unadulterated jubilance, a man confident in his unconventional, yet effective, fishing methods. Entering the edge of the pond, Peeta winces as the glacial caress of water encases his toes. His face contorts as if tasting a tart lemon, while his brawny frame, a testament to many Hunger Games, reacts in a series of shivers and goosebumps, turning his skin into the human equivalent of a frosted blueberry muffin. PEETA (Chuckles through chattering teeth) Fishing, Peeta style. Capable of frying fish before they even hit the pan! Taking a deep breath, Peeta steadies himself, with his chest puffed out like a proud pigeon. He bends over, offering a full view of his double-crusted moons to the tranquil morning sky. With a mischievous twinkle in his eye, he unleashes his vile wind, an aroma so potently foul it sings the dirges of a thousand burnt cookies. SQUAT POSITION -- FISH POND -- MOMENT OF RELEASE At the moment of flatulent discharge, Peeta's face contorts, his bright blue eyes squinted in concentration, a smirk dancing on his lips as the bubbling symphony echoes through the still morning air. PEETA (Shouting triumphantly) May the scents be ever in my flavor! Fish go belly-up, surrendering to the putrid potency of his puffery. Peeta stands up tall, fists on his hips, like a naked, blond Poseidon ruling over his conquered sea. He gazes upon his helpless prey with the satisfaction of a cat with a particularly slow mouse. PEETA Who needs fishing rods and nets when you've got the buns of mass destruction? Enthusiastically, Peeta scoops up his easy catch -- fish after fish -- filling his burlap sack with the fruits of his flatulent labors, as the pond continues to roil and churn from the aftershock. EXT. PEETA'S COTTAGE - KITCHEN - MORNING Back in the safety of the familiar kitchen, Peeta presents his catch to KATNISS EVERDEEN, the Mockingjay herself, who observes his antics with a mixture of affectionate bemusement and secondhand embarrassment. PEETA (Holding up the fish) Fresh from the water, Katniss. I caught them using... family secrets. He winks, sparing her the grisly details. Together, they prepare a breakfast of fried fish, seasoned to perfection with exotic spices scavenged from the far corners of Panem and mixed into a melody that would make seafood weep in joyous anticipation. As they sit to eat, the fish is presented on a bed of wild greens, adorned with delicate herbs. The meal is humble but made with love, crafted by the boy with the bread and the girl on fire. PEETA (Playfully) Bon appetit, my dear. The wind was kind this morning, and so are the flavors on this plate. KATNISS (Eyebrow raised) You're incredibly lucky that I love you, Mellark. They both burst into laughter, their bond unaffected by Peeta's peculiar penchant for angling. They share a breakfast where love is the main ingredient, and air freshener, thankfully, is not needed.
