A/N If you are reading this I assume you have read the Hunger Games, If not, you will not understand this story so leave this story now and go read them. Ok. So what if Prim had to go into the games? Here is how I think it would happen.

CHAPTER 1

(Katniss) "Ladies first!" Effie Trinket calls out, pausing to pick a name. I hold my breath, close my eyes, and pray it won't be-"Primrose Everdeen" Everything becomes silent. I can hear the blood pounding in my ears. Prim begins her walk to the stage. By the time I realize I'm still holding my breath, it's too late. The world turns black and I fall to the ground.

(Prim) I hold my head high and walk towards the stage. All eyes are on me so I try not to cry. I hear someone fall to the ground. Immediately I look to where Katniss is standing… or was standing. I climb onto the stage and look out at the rest of district 12. Now I can see Katniss, she's lying on the ground. A boy from her age group with ashy blond hair is standing over her, trying to wake her up.

"The boy tribute of district 12….Peeta Mellark!" Effie says. The boy looks up at Effie, looks at me, looks at Katniss, back at me, back to Katniss, to Effie, and finally at Gale, who has just appeared at his side. Gale says something and the blond gets up and jogs towards the stage. Gale kneels down and picks up where Peeta left off.

Peeta Mellark. The baker's son. He is a stocky boy, of medium height; he definitely stands a pretty good chance. Then it sinks in…in the arena there's really only one rule, Kill, or be killed…. (Oh, there's also an unofficial rule that you can't eat your fellow tributes.) How could I kill someone? I've only held a weapon when Katniss tried to teach me how to shoot with a bow and arrow. (Those poor animals…I could've saved them if Katniss had let me.) Not to mention I'm only 12. What had Effie said right before the reaping? 'May the odds be ever in your favor!' Yah right. The beginning of the end has just begun. At least…for the little 12 year-old girl tribute from district 12…for Primrose Everdeen.

I'm whisked away to a room in the justice building. My mother and Katniss come in. The door closes and tears spring to my eyes.

"I don't stand a chance." I cry out. My mother wraps her arms around me and I look over her shoulder at Katniss. My sister. She took the tessera so we could survive. She had 20 entries in the reaping pool, I had 1. The odds were in my favor, but sometimes even the odds aren't enough. This is most likely the last time I will ever see my family. Katniss comes over and joins the hug.

"As soon as the gong goes off, run away from the cornucopia." She whispers in my ear. The Peacekeepers open the door. We say our goodbyes and then my family is gone, most likely, forever.

(Katniss) When I leave Prim's room, I head toward where I can see a man and woman leaving a different room. I can't see their faces, but when they're out of sight, I request, to the peacekeepers, to be let in to see the other tribute. When I am let in, I close the door immediately. I turn and there sitting on the couch is the boy with the bread. Peeta Mellark. A look of shock, confusion, and something else crosses his face. I sit down, look him right in the eye, and say, "Listen, I know that we have never spoken to each other. So what I am about to say is going to come across as odd, but I need you to make me a promise."

"I already know what you are about to say, I promise that I will not kill your sister."

"Peeta… It's a lot to ask of you, I know, and if there is anything I can do to thank you, by the way I never thanked you for the bread."

"It's fine, but, actually, there is something you could do. My dad, he really does enjoy your squirrels…"

"Squirrels got it. Thank you so much, I really owe you." With that I give him a kiss on the cheek. To show my gratitude.

"Katniss, there's something I have wanted to tell you since we were five…" Peeta blurts as the Peacekeepers open the door and motion for me to leave.

"What Peeta?" I ask as the Peacekeepers start to pull me to the door.

"I have always loved-"The Peacekeepers close the door so I am unable to hear the rest of the sentence.

I don't sleep at all tonight, the scene with Peeta playing in my head. Loved what Peeta?
