Hey all! How are you? I hope everyone's well! This chapter is a bit long for my normal, you're welcome haha. Had an inspiration and didn't want to stop writing!

Hope you enjoy it! Leave a review and tell me how you liked it!

Peeta frowns. "On our wedding night? Really?"

"I don't mean right this very second," Haymitch says. "You guys will have time to get it on, I promise. Just know that first thing tomorrow, we're on a train to 13 with your families and all the tributes."

We nod. "All of them?" I ask.

"They're all in danger, Katniss," Haymitch says. He looks around. "It's customary for the couple to leave weddings first. Seeing as how you two have an . . . exciting evening to get to and you have an early morning, I'd call it quits soon."

Peeta smiles. "Can we do it now?"

Haymitch laughs. "Whenever you want."

We stop by and talk to my mother, who's taking Audree again for the night. We say we can take her, but my mother knows what's going to happen and insists that Audree stay with her and Prim. We talk to Peeta's brothers and father. His mother is still sulking. We even speak to Snow once more before ducking out and heading back to the Training Center.

Upon arrival, Peeta says we should go to the roof. "I think that Panem's seen enough of us for the night," he shrugs. I comply. I know he just wants to be off camera for this. I do, too. The roof's better than the bathroom, in my opinion.

When we get on the roof, I notice instantly that Peeta's planned for this. There are at least a hundred candles, standing at varied lengths, around a Capitol blanket on the far side of the roof, where we normally end up.

"Peeta Mellark," I say. He puts a hand around my waist.

"Shall we?" he says. When we get to the blanket, we stand awkwardly for a moment before I start laughing.

"It isn't like this is new," I say. "I don't know why we're being so weird."

"We have more clothes on than we ever have," he points out. "More to get through. We should, you know, probably get started. Because we have a time crunch, and whatnot."

I laugh again and push off his jacket. Once it's off, I begin on the buttons of his vest. "I think you have more clothes on than I do," I say.

"Yeah, Portia put me in, like, an eight piece suit," he laughs.

"You looked amazing," I say. "You should wear eight piece suits more often."

He smiles. By this point, I'm trying to untangle his tie. He looks at my dress. "How do I get this thing off of you?" he asks.

"There's this thing called a zipper in the back," I say, finally pulling the tie out from around his neck. He looks at me.

"Screw it," he says, putting his hands on my back and pulling me towards him. His lips are on mine in an instant. It feels like no time passes between the kiss and him pulling off my dress. He pulls of his dress shirt and undershirt and he's left in just his pants. I'm left in the Capitol corset thing that makes me want to shoot myself. He slowly unzips the back of the corset as I undo his belt buckle. I pull off his pants just as he pulls off the corset. We're left in no clothes. He puts his hand on the clip in my hair. "May I?" he asks. I nod. He pulls the clip out and my hair falls to my face. "You're beautiful," he whispers as we lay down on the blanket. We kiss for a moment when I hear somebody clear their throat.

"I would probably get dressed if I were you," says Haymitch.

I shriek. Peeta throws the blanket over the two of us. "God, Haymitch!" Peeta shouts. "What the hell are you doing?"

"There's been a slight change of plans," Haymitch says. "The rebel train is leaving in about thirty minutes. I found out about ten minutes ago, I tried to give you guys enough time to at least get one round in–"

"Honestly, Haymitch," I say.

He laughs. "I brought you guys a bag of clothes to change in to. Just throw the wedding clothes in there once you're dressed."

"Why has the plan changed?" Peeta asks.

"Odair caught wind that they're pulling the tributes out right now and they're planning to execute them before dawn," Haymitch says. "We don't know if it's true or not, but it's better to be safe than sorry."

"If they're planning on executing them, how are we getting them on the rebel train?" I ask.

"Easy," Haymitch laughs. "We've got some doctors on the inside. All the tributes are being delivered to a hospital where they're supposedly going to be shot with some sort of poison. They're being put in rooms of doctors that are on our side and they're going to sneak them to the train."

"And what's going to happen when we get to 13?" Peeta asks.

"Who the hell knows?" Haymitch says. "Get up and get moving! I'll wait over on the other side of the roof, if you don't mind."

"Please do," I snap. Peeta and I get up and we start getting dressed.

"On the train," Peeta mouths.

"Cameras," I say.

"It's a rebel train," he shrugs. "It can't have cameras."

I nod. "I hate you, Haymitch," Peeta snaps as we walk past him to the stairs. Haymitch is snickering as he follows us down.

"I see you take things much slower off-camera," Haymitch points out. "Are you a slow, gentle love-maker, Peeta?"

"Oh my God," I say, my face turning red.

"Because I think Katniss would like a rougher guy, just by her persona," he says.

"Oh my God, Haymitch, shut up!" I shout.

Haymitch laughs. "C'mon, we're going to be the last ones on the train!" We race out of the Center and he motions us to go towards an abandoned warehouse down the road. We go and inside is a train that isn't nearly as luxurious as a Capitol train but better than anything we have in 12. Once we're on, Haymitch does a head-check and we're off. There's about fifty of us on the train. I'm surprised to see me and Peeta's prep team there and I'm even more surprised to see Effie, sitting in the corner looking incredibly angry.

"She was listening in," Haymitch shrugged. "We had to bring her." He stands up on a table. "Look, everyone, we have a long journey ahead of us. Luckily, we have enough cabins for everyone to share with only one other person. Please give your attention to Mr. Odair over there so you can hear your room assignments."

I listen through a lot of names until one makes my ears perk. "Hawthorne, Vick, and Aldjoy, Blye, cabin 2." Peeta and I are in Cabin 4, my mom and Prim are in Cabin 6, Hazelle and Posy are in Cabin 3, and Gale and Rory are in Cabin 5. Haymitch and Effie will be sharing cabin 1. Audree, of course, will be with Peeta and I.

Once we get settled into our cabin (which doesn't take long) we walk across the hall to Vick and Blye. I'm very excited to see them. We knock on the door and Blye answers.

"Katniss!" she shouts. I hug her as hard as I possibly can. Seeing her again, in the flesh, was overwhelming. I wonder if this is how Haymitch felt when he saw us again. Probably not. I feel very maternal towards Blye. I kneel down and stroke her hair.

"Blye, you did so well in there!" I say, hugging her again. "I'm very, very proud of you."

"It wasn't hard," she shrugs. "I don't know why people say the Games are so bad. It was kind of fun."

Vick laughs from behind her. "She was saying that all week," he says. "Everyone thought she was so funny."

Peeta goes and hugs Vick. "You did a good job taking care of her," Peeta says.

"It's what Katniss wanted," Vick shrugs. "And I like Blye. She's a nice girl."

I go to hug Vick and Peeta hugs Blye. "Have you seen your family?" I ask.

"No, Haymitch told us that we had to see you two first," he says.

"Why?" I ask.

"Because he's Haymitch, I don't know," shrugs Vick. "Can I see them?"

"C'mon," I say. I knock on Gale and Rory's door. Gale opens it immediately.

"Vick!" he shouts. He throws his arms around his brother and lifts him off the ground. Rory joins in. Hazelle and Posy hear the commotion and exit their room. They join in, too. I suddenly feel as if I'm imposing on a family moment, so I go back into Vick and Blye's room. Peeta's sitting on the bed, next to Blye, who's telling some story very animatedly.

"And the alligator came out of nowhere and almost got Shine, the girl from 1. But Growt, the boy from 5, grabbed her and she got away!" says Blye. "It was so scary. Shine is seven, too, and we became friends. We slept next to each other by the fire. Vick slept on my other side, too. He was a major cuddler. I mean, we shared a blanket, but I think he was cold or scared or something. I like Vick. He's kind of cute. But not as cute as you, Peeta. But he was really nice. An alligator almost started swimming towards me and I was scared and Vick hugged me and said he'd kill it and it made me feel better. Shine as a crush on you, Peeta. She says that you're really cute and she wishes Audree was her baby and not Katniss's. I didn't know what that was supposed to mean, but she said that in District 1, you say you want to have someone's baby if they were really cute. I called her weird and we laughed. And then once, Vick tried to make bread–"

"Wow, you have a lot of stories," Peeta says.

"Well, it was like a week-long party!" Blye shouts.

"Aren't you a little tired?" I laugh.

"Not in the least," Blye says. "I could talk all night!"

Peeta laughs. "Well, Katniss and I are a little tired. You know, it's really early and we were up really early. We can talk tomorrow, alright?"

"Sure," Blye says. "Can I watch TV until Vick gets back? And do I have to share a bed with him? I mean, it'll be like a sleepover, but he cuddles, and–"

"Do whatever you want," Peeta says. "Good night, Blye." We kiss her forehead and walk out the door. My mother, Prim, and Audree are asleep in their cabin. Everyone's quieting down.

"Want to finally have our wedding night?" Peeta asks as he closes and locks the door.

"More than anything in the world," I say.
