A/N: Heeeey! :D Chapter six is here :D Before I start, I'm just going to answer some of the reviews;

I love it: I've actually thought of Peeta volunteering for Prim, but I kind of got this whole story planned in my head. But I think it's a really great idea.

CallMeObsessed: I guess she still is mean, to them but not as bad as in the book.

Enjoy chapter six!
R&R :D

oOo

Peeta's POV

I hear a scream, and sit straight up in the bed. I guess Prim had a nightmare again.

"Shh, Prim," I say while I hold her in my arms. "It's okay, it was only a dream."

"It was so real," Prim cries into my shirt.

"Was it the Reaping again?" I ask. She has had several nightmares about her being picked at the Reaping.

"Yes," she says. "It was you."

"Don't worry about me, Prim," I say. "I'm going to be fine."

"Can you sing?" she asks me.

"Okay," I say, and start singing the song my dad always sang to us when we had nightmares.

Deep in the meadow

Under the willow

A bed of grass

A soft green pillow

Lay down your head

And close your eyes

And when again they open

The sun will rise

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you

From every harm

Here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where

I love you

Even though, Prim is already asleep, I sing the last part of the song too.

Deep in the meadow

Hidden far away

A cloak of leaves

A moonbeam ray

Forget your woes

And let your troubles lay

And when again it's morning

They'll wash away

Here it's safe

Here it's warm

Here the daisies guard you

From every harm

Here your dreams are sweet

And tomorrow brings them true

Here is the place where

I love you

While Prim is fast asleep next to me, I silently get ready for hunting.

When I walk to the woods to meet Gale, I think about Katniss. We officially are a couple, but I don't think Katniss' mom is so happy with her daughter's boyfriend being from the Seam.

When I walk up to mine and Gale's usual meeting place, I see that he is there already.

"Hey," I say.

"Hi," he replies. "How's Prim?"

"She has a lot of nightmares." I answer. "How about Rory?"

"He's really nervous too," he says.

"He's probably more worried about you," I say. "How many times is your name in this year?"

"Forty-two." Gale's father also died in the mines, so he's the head of the family, just like me. Except he has three siblings, and I have only one.
We hunt for about an hour, and then we sit down to share our game.

"Why are you talking to the baker's daughter all the time?" Gale suddenly says.

"Katniss?" I ask, even though I know he means her. "We've been to the woods together some times."

"You've been to the woods with her?" he asks. He seems angry.

"Yes," I answer. "What's wrong with that?"

"Peeta, you can't just take random people to the woods," he nearly shouts.

"Katniss isn't random people!" my voice gets higher by the minute. "She's my girlfriend!" Wow, it feels good to say that out loud.

"That's no excuse!" Gale says. "We already risk being shot at daily basis for going out here."

"I know!" I shout. "But we don't, because we give the peacekeepers food."

"Gale, I don't want to argue today," I say in a lower tone. "The Reaping is in three hours." This seems to calm him down a bit.

"Maybe you're right," he says. "Happy Hunger Games!"

"And may the odds be ever in your favor," we say in Effie Trinket hilarious Capitol voice.

When I get home I see that Prim is already dressed. Her clothes are a bit too big, so a slip of her blouse is on the outside of her skirt.

"Tuck in your tail, little duck," I tease her.

"Quack," Prim laughs.

I get ready for the Reaping and we leave the house half past one. When we get to the square, I take Prim over to the twelve year olds.

"Okay, Prim," I say. "Just wait here and it will be over soon. Then we'll go home and eat some strawberries, I got this morning.

"Can Katniss come too?" Prim asks. I've got the feeling she likes Katniss.

"I'll ask her," I say, and give her a hug. "I love you."

"I love you too."

I walk over to my section, and Katniss finds me.

"How's Prim?" she asks.

"Nervous," I answer. She nods. "I am too," I say. "I'm worried about you."

"Peeta, don't be," she says. "I only have five slips."

"There's still a chance," I say. She gives me a kiss on the cheek, when the mayor starts speaking.

My eyes seek for Gale in the crowd, and our eyes meet. He gives me a quick nod to say good luck, and turns his head back.

The Reaping is the same every year. The mayor says something I never pay attention to, and then Effie starts speaking. I just zone out until Effie walks over to the girls Reaping bowl. Katniss gives my hand a light squeeze.

Not Katniss. Not Prim. Not Katniss. Not Prim. I say this in my head. But it doesn't work, because Effie reads out the name.

"Primrose Everdeen!"

oOo

A/N: Poor Prim :( Don't worry, Peeta isn't going to get reaped too, I'm not going to be that mean :P
