The Last Arena .
Ten years Later.

I sit by the lake of what used to be District 12. I still remember those days when Gale and I used to go hunting for food. Now all we have to do is walk ten minutes to the shop. The fence was cut down and we decided to live in the place that held so many better memories for us.
The lake is still. There is no wind and I happily wait until Gale returns.
It takes no longer than ten minutes and happy as I am to wait for them, I am ecstatic when they return. I never hear Gale approach. His hunting skills never left and they won't. Peeta, however cannot master the silence and insists that he will have to make more sound to cover them both.
"Mummy!" He runs up to me and wraps his six year old hands around me tightly. I turn slightly and see Gale, admiring his son.
Peeta is too like Gale to stay doing nothing and he decides to get changed to do a bit of swimming. We watch him from the bank.
I take Gale's hand in my own and turn it slightly. He smiles slightly. He really is beautiful when he smiles though he was never much of a smiler when we were younger. But life is so much better now. The Capitol was destroyed and all the survivors voted on a new President.
President Abernathy.
My mother stayed in our house in Victor's village and continued her healing though there is not a lot of whipping going on anymore. Prim is working with mother full time. Everdeen and Daughter.
Madge took her father's place and was elected Mayor of our new village. She is doing fantastically.
Finnick and Annie moved to our village and though Annie's mind hasn't improved, her health has immensely and Finnick is much too pleased.
Gale and I married when I turned twenty and we had Peeta during the same year. We moved to the small cement house by the lake and though it is small, it fits both our personality's and we have forgotten about the argument we had their all those years ago.
Gale's mother and Vick were killed in the bombing of District 12. Posy and Rory survived and we found them upon our return to our home.
Peeta's waves to us from the lake and we wave and smile back.
"I have something for you." Gale says. I turn to him surprised.
He takes something from his pocket.
"Peeta found it in the woods this morning." He takes out a small golden brooch with the symbol of a bird on it. My Mockingjay.
"Where did you find it?" I asked and he pointed to Peeta.
"He came bounding up to me with it and asked me what it was. I said it used to be yours."
I smile at him and kiss him. He kisses me back and we hear Peeta groaning from the lake. We laugh together. Our life is full of these little moments that even make the memories of Panem and the Hunger Games bearable.
