Where am I? The words circle round in my head in an almost endless loop, and I take in my surroundings. A small garden, with fountains and statues. It seems like something from the Capitol. I suddenly realize what I am wearing- a white suit, with a flower in it's pocket. Wait... It seems like something a boy would wear on his wedding day. His wedding day?

"Clove?" I find myself suddenly calling out. Some birds tweet, and the only noise is the gentle rushing of water from the fountains nearby. "Clove!"

"Cato?" Clove's voice comes back like an echo. She sounds like she's nearby somewhere, but I am completely alone. I suddenly spot a long, white object in the distance, and I indentify it as Clove, in a white dress.

"Clove!" I call out in joy. She lifts her dress a little, revealing a pair or satin white high heels, as she rushes over to me. Now that she's closer I can see her hair has been put into natural, soft waves, and her face has subtle makeup. Her dress is long and flowing, a row of diamonds on the top. Clove looks even more beautiful than ever, if that's even possible. She throws her arms around my neck, and I pull her closer to me. I can't help but cry a few silent tears, because I know this isn't real. Clove is dead. This can't be happening. But real or not, I want to make this moment last.

"Clove, I'm so sorry I didn't get there fast enough. I'm sorry, I'm sorry... But I got Thresh back, I promised myself I would and I did- for you."

Clove places a finger on my lips, and I'm still holding her. I don't want to let her go, because I'm afraid that if I do, I'll lose her forever.

"I'm here now Cato. It's fine. It's not your fault, please don't blame yourself. But... Where are we?" Clove looks down and notices her dress for the first time. "And why am I in a wedding dress?"

I hold her hand, and enclose my hand on her diamond ring. "I think we both know the answer to that." Clove blushes and giggles, as I keep hold of her hand.

"I, Cato Hadley,

Take you, Clove Sevina,

To be my wife,

To have and to hold from this day forward;

For better, for worse,

For richer, for poorer,

In sickness and in health,

To love and to cherish..."

I hesitate to say the last words, because I made a guess what is happening, why we are here. And I think it's right.

"Till death do us part," I finish.

"But Cato... I think it already has." I sense pain in her eyes as the fact starts to dawn upon her.

I sigh a little. "Well Clove, I think that the last line is rubbish. Nothing can separate us. I don't care about anyone else. Not my Dad, my friends, Denise, Mandy, Knight- no one. Because as long as I'm here with you, I'm happy."

Clove suddenly starts crying, as tears begin to roll down her face. "Cato, why does it have to be like this? Why couldn't we have just been like anyone else, and got married, had children and grown old together?" I hold Clove's face in my hands, and smile at her. "Clove, I think we both knew that right from the start. From the day I said I loved you, from the day we became training partners. Heck, from the day I first saw you. We were setting ourselves up for a lot, because we knew it would be dangerous and probably wouldnt suceed. We both knew we couldn't really have a happily ever after. We both knew it would be hard to be together. We both knew that our love could never be."

Clove looks down and smiles at the floor. She thinks for a moment, before saying dreamily, with a light laugh, "I, Clove Sevina,

Take you, Cato Hadley,

To be my husband,

To have and to hold from this day forward;

For better, for worse,

For richer, for poorer,

In sickness and in health,

To love and to cherish,

Because we are the lovers who made it,

No matter what life threw at us,

You and I from District 2,

The real star crossed lovers, but no one knew.

We stood tall, and faced it all,

I'll love you forever, even though now I see,

That our love could never be."

I grin at Clove, and she rewards me with a warm smile in return. I hold out my hand, and she takes it without hesitation. I pull her closer to me, and place a hand on her waist. I don't even know how long we spend, dancing in each others arms, but I do know I'm with my Clove, my knife princess, my love, my world, my everything, And thats all that will ever matter.
