"I wonder how long it'll be before the army goes to collect the people," Thresh asks one night as we sit in our room talking.
"Probably not that long now, a few weeks or so," Cato answers from his spot beside me on my bed.
"I can't wait to see how many more people turn against Snow," Clove says grinning.
Laughing I wink at her and Rue before turning to Glimmer and Marvel who look very comfy sitting side by side.
"So Glimmer, Marvel what's going on with you two," I ask smiling at them.
"We're going on a date tomorrow night," Glimmer answers grinning up at her new boyfriend.
"Aww that's so cute. Wait why haven't any of you gone on a date yet," Rue asks pointing to me, Cato, Thresh and Clove.
"That's a good point Rue. Katniss do you want to go to that cute café down the road in three nights," Cato asks looking down at me as I smile and nod happily.
"Clove there's this games place around the corner, would you like to join me next week," Thresh asks his girlfriend to which she smirks and answers yes before kissing him lightly.
"Hey guys, do you think it's weird we've all but Rue and Will paired off," Glimmer asks only a few minutes later.
"Not really, I mean who else would we get together with," Clove answers looking around at us all.
"Yeah I know what you mean. We went through something big together and it's like we're a family now, I think it would be weird if we dated anyone else, kinda like splitting up our family," I answer.
"Yeah I get you. Rue and Will are obviously going to date outside of the family but whoever they end up with will be one of us eventually," Marvel says looking at a blushing Rue and clueless Will.
"We are a family aren't we," Thresh says after a moment of silence.
"Yeah, I mean we may not be blood related, thank God, but we're as close as we're going to be," agrees Cato.
"I love you all," Rue says standing up and opening her arms wide.
We all stand and hug each other I love you's flying around. We stand their just holding each other when Will's stomach rumbles loudly causing us to laugh.
"Come on we should get some food in us," Clove says leading the way hand in hand with Thresh.
I grab Will and place him on my hip before grabbing Cato's hand, his other one already nabbed by Rue. I turn to see Glimmer and Marvel holding hands happily and I grin knowing we look the part of a family, something that makes me so very happy.
We walk straight to the food table unaware of every eye on us. They'd obviously noticed the change. Laughing we load up our plates before we find a gap at the table big enough to fit us all.
"Something's different," Thresh's mum comments watching us joke around together.
"We realised that we're a family," Glimmer replies smiling at us all.
"But you have a family," Peeta's mother says sneering at us all, angry at the fact we have shunned her son, who thankfully isn't even in the room at the moment.
"So, you can never have too many family members," Cato answers glaring at the bitter woman.
"If you really thought that you would be nice to my son," she says looking right at me.
"Your son is nothing but a bully, sorry lady but if he really liked me he wouldn't be so mean," I reply before we all ignore her as she mutters cruel things about us and our real families.
