Well, everything is looking up. I told the people who read my Teen Titans story about some of the crap going down but the week is finally good again. I (finally) got my permit, I met a British guy and got to see Breaking Dawn Part 2. Let me say - spoiler alert - the vision scene really scared me. I almost cried over Seth and Leah. Oh and Jasper - yeah. I was angered. Also, why was Tay Laut only shirtless once? I mean seriously. Oh and Aro - I feel like he was a child molester before a vampire overlord. "I want to meet her!" in a creepy voice. The people behind us cracked up and I was cracking jokes. :)

Anyway, hope you had a happy Thanksgiving. I'm thankful for my followers and reviewers. You make me so happy. 3

Here, I'll shut up. :)

Rosaleigh's POV

It was the first day of training. The girls had on form fitting camisoles, leggings and tennis shoes. The boys had on long sleeve tight shirts, sporty shorts and tennis shoes. Everything was black and gray. Kind of depressing.

I was in the elevator putting my pin straight hair into pigtails before it really set in that I was going to The Hunger Games and not coming back. I looked at the people in the elevator with me. All of Katniss and Peeta's tributes decided to go together.

I was freaking out inside, but outside I looked perfectly calm. The doors opened and I lead the way out. After the trainer talked to us I went over to the place where you learn about plants and sat down to learn. Elder made his way over and sat down beside me.

"I feel like we should have a makeshift career pack." He said bluntly.

"I agree." I looked at him. "There are a lot of promising tributes."

"You, Leaf, Azeker and me will for sure be in this." He smiled softly. "I'll keep looking."

"I'll be on the lookout for more promising tributes too."

He walked away and I learned about plants before getting up and walking away. I found Avalon by the swords mutilating a dummy.

"Avalon." I said as I approached her.

"Rosaleigh." She replied shortly.

"How do you feel about joining a career pack?" I asked.

She laughed. "Be close to my enemy? Why would I want that?" She shook her head. "I'd rather not."

Julius threw a knife her way and it almost hit her. She growled and said, "I just can't wait to be the one to gut you like a fish, and strangle you with your own intestines."

His eyes widened and he put his hands up in defense. She was a tough competitor. I grinned at her. "Alright Avalon, but be prepared." I lost the grin and went poker face. "I will not let you win. I can and will slaughter you if I have to."

"I look forward to fighting you." She smirked at me.

I walked away and found Breccan. "Are you going to join the pack?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because, I don't want to go to sleep thinking my allies have my back and never wake up because they double crossed me." He looked at me. "Rosie, you know the alliances always break up. It's almost always a Career vs. Career ending."

I hated it when he pulled out Rosie when he was explaining something, him and Caspian were the only people who called me Rosie. "Brec, stop being right all the time." I pouted and walked away.

Elder walked up to me. "Found any?"

"I'm sure Artemis and Julius will join us. I haven't asked them yet. Avalon and Breccan say no."

"Avalon would've been useful. Oh well." He smiled at me. "Lysi is with us."

"So there's five right now?" I saw Artemis sparring against Conor and Julius.

"Want to?" He grinned.

"Let's do it."

As we walked up Artemis roundhouse kicked Julius's sword out of his hand, ducked back to dodge the knife aimed at her head and then kicked them both in the chest knocking them down. "Had enough boys? This is four wins for me - zero for you."

"How do you do that?" Julius groaned.

She smirked. "I guess I take after my namesake after all."* She looked at us. "Hey Rose, hey Elder. Wanna join?"

"Actually," I grinned at her. "I was hoping you three would join our makeshift career pack."

They all agreed. I went to the knot tying section and learned everything about knots. Then it was time for lunch. I sat at a table with the rest of the pack, there were eight of us.

I scanned the rest of the tributes. Breccan was talking to Avalon who didn't seem to mind - that was the Breccan effect; Pandora was talking to some of the girls; Azeker was talking to Lysi; and Julius and Conor were talking animatedly.

I took a drink of my water then turned to Elder. "I'm not going to lie, I'm worried."

"So am I." He put his hand on my arm. "I have a good feeling though. It's like I know something bad will happen, but good will come too."

I smiled warmly. "I agree."

Katniss POV

"Peeta?" I knocked on his door lightly.

He opened it a few seconds later. He was shirtless and had a towel around his waist, his hair was dripping. "Yeah, Katniss?"

"Oh. I'm sorry." I looked up at him. "I didn't realize you were in the shower."

"I just got out. What'd you need?"

"I don't know. I just didn't want to be alone anymore."

He opened his door wider. "Come in, I'll get dressed."

I nodded and walked in. I sat on his bed while he went to get dressed. I laid down and before long he was beside me. I rolled over so my head was on his chest.

"You're thinking about her aren't you?" He whispered softly.

I closed my eyes. "Yeah."

He just rubbed my back in soothing circles. He wasn't going to tell me it would be okay - we both knew how annoying that was - but he would hold me while I needed him.

"Thank you Peeta."

"You're welcome."

Annie POV

I was curled up on the couch drinking tea when Finnick came in. "Hey Annie."

I smiled up at him. "Hey Finn."

He sat down next to me and put his arm around me. I sat my tea down and curled into his embrace.

"How are you?" He asked softly.

"Good actually." I smiled up at him. "You?"

"Fine." He kissed the top of my head. "Better since I'm with you."

"Oh hush." I giggled.

"After all of this is over what should we do?"

"I just want to spend every possible minute of the rest of my life with you."

He grinned at me. "Okay. I think I can handle that."

I wished every moment could be that perfect. We were normal for once, just two young married people making each other smile.

So yeah. That's the end of this chapter. :)

Thanks for reading.

Sponsor Question: Quoted Peeta once again. What was it, and if you wanna throw in the book that's cool too.

So thanks for reading. Toodles!
