(Peeta's POV) dmy
I look up. "C'mon" she giggles. I look up into those brilliant eyes and know, she is the love of my life. We walk (more like stumble) through the forest, until we reach a clearing. It's Cherry Maple Meadow. I breath in the scent of the royal bells, and the cherry blossom. I look to the middle, only to find the huge, ever-living willow tree sweeping the ground with the tassels of leaves. "Where is Katniss?" I wonder… I stumble along to the tree, only to find an old wooden swing with cushions on it, and Katniss sitting on one. Who is Katniss? My best friend. Lover, Best Friend, Tribute, Victor, Healer, the list goes on and on. I am walking normally now. The grass and weeds are short under the tree. I sit next to Katniss. "So you blindfolded and dragged me out here to see Cherry Maple Meadow in full bloom?" I say, snuggling her hip with my forearm. "Yea seems so doesn't it?" She replies with a laugh, all of a sudden, I see a flash or reddish brown. "Katniss…" I say slowly, cautiously, quietly. "What?" She says seeing my fear and slowly turns her head around, "Burdock!" She squeals and picks up the small bundle of fur. "Peeta, this is Burdock. He is a fox I have known for 3 months." She sits back on the swing, puts down Burdock for a second, then decides to go ahead and put him between us. I slowly let his sniff me, then cautiously pet him. "Peeta, he won't bite." She says behind a snicker. I notice she has some weaving started, "Katniss, what are you making?" "A basket," she replies after a few seconds. "Kat, there is no way we're bring it home." She quickly retorts "Peeta, I have taken care of it for 3 months in the woods, feeding and forming a friendship with him and there is no way in hell I can keep coming out here twice a day." I sigh, "Why not something else? Like, a dog or a cat?" She pauses momentarily, takes a deep breath and says, "We have lived through the same tragedy, with Prim and my Dad, Gale's traps caught his mother about 3 months ago…" Her basket is done, and I realize how small the fox really is, the basket fits it perfectly, after her confirming that he is the runt of this litter, and he probably won't get much, if any, bigger. After deciding we can keep him, then came the question of what he was going to eat. After a bit, the conclusion was he could have half, if not all, of Katniss' squirrels and rats. Plus table scraps. After it's all said and done, we fill the basket with some long grasses and Katniss picks up Burdock, and says "C'mon we're going home" with her eyes full of tears and her voice cracks a little. I hug her, and she confesses she is nervous about keeping him, even though she has dreamed of the day for months. Cliff Hanger! Sorry only 1 chappie today :( More chapters after 5 reviews?!
