Hey, so... I haven't dabbled in this fandom lately, but I've had this idea ever since I watched the HG movie 3 times in three weeks. Now I kind of need to write it up. If there's no response, I probably won't continue. If you guys like it, i'll continue. Your call. It may have been done before. Maybe not.

Basically, remember that moment in the cave when Peeta says, "I should've gone to you," or whatever it was? This is sort of what would have happened if he did.

In other, unrelated news, my friend Pearson and I have decided to start a fandom revolution but as I have more "pull" he thinks I should start it... we think Hunger Games fans should be called "Mockingjays" :) Let the revolution begin!

...and happy hunger games!

OH! and this is in the movie logic not the book logic, just because it works better with the storyline. Katniss/Peeta are around 14.

It was a cold and rainy day. Katniss Everdeen had spent all day trying to find food for her and her family. She'd ended up in front of the bakery, arms wrapped around her legs and freezing from the ice cold rain but unable to go home without something to feed her family.

That was when the back door to the bakery opened and Peeta Mellark appeared. He was in my year at school. His mother was yelling something at him as he stepped from the warmth of the bakery into the rain, bread in his hands. He started to toss it into the pig pen before slowly turning to spot Katniss. His eyes darted into the bakery, hands faltering as he tossed the bread in her direction.

She blinked, frowning at him. He didn't move. His eyes darted inside again and then he was moving through the rain, walking toward her. He sunk down beside her, frowning as he looked at her wet hair and dripping face. "Katniss."

She frowned, suddenly confused. "Peeta?" She croaked, sitting up more fully and looking at him with sad eyes.

He nodded gently. "Are you okay?"

The question was almost comical. She shook her head, shaking into his arms. "Not really."

He chuckled. "I'm sorry. That was a stupid question." His eyes darted up to the bakery then back to her. His fingers grazed her face. She was so cold. "Katniss, go home. It's going to be okay."

He helped her up, clutching the bread in her hands, arms instinctively wrapping around her frame before she mouthed a soundless thank you his way.

Little did she know that this was the turning point of everything. This was were everything changed.

I know. The A/N at the beginning was longer than the story here. But seriously, this is intro. Next chapter will be timeskip. I will update as long as I get reviews.
