Katniss sighed. It was raining and cold. That meant no hunting. She still wanted to take something to Gale's house though. She trudged through the rain to Peeta's house. "Come in!" Peeta called. He pulled out some bread from the oven. "Hi, Katniss." He smiled. He tore off a piece of a warm roll. "Open up." Katniss licked her lips before feeling a warm piece of bread on her tongue.

"Peeta." She whispered. Peeta put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips. "Gale would love this bread." Peeta pulled away and scowled. "Peeta? Pleeeeease? Parcel Day isn't for another few weeks. Can I please take something to the Hawthornes?"

"Here." Peeta said grumpily before shoving a large loaf into her arms. "Take this." He said to the ground.

"Thanks." Katniss said. She wrapped it in a cloth and hurried over to the Hawthorne house. Hazelle smiled as she took the warm loaf.

"They'll love this, Katniss. Thank you so much!" Katniss embraced Hazelle and smiled. "Gale is sure happy you're back." Katniss blushed thinking about their make-out session two weeks ago. They had other episodes, but not as intense as that one. Katniss smiled and nearly skipped back to Victor's Village.

"Thanks, Peeta!" Katniss called into the kitchen window of Peeta's house.

"Yeah, glad I could make Hunter Boy happy." Peeta grumbled. He jumped as the back-door slammed open.

"PEETA BREAD MELLARK!" Katniss yelled marching into the kitchen.

"KATNISS! My name is NOT PEETA BREAD!" Peeta yelled back, his face turning a brilliant shade of red.

"WHATEVER!" Katniss screamed back. Peeta realized the bread knife was on the counter of the island in the center of the kitchen. He eyed Katniss warily knowing a mad Hunger Games victor could kill with anything. He took the knife and slid it into the drawer. "Maybe I WON'T give you the spices I picked AFTER ALL!"

"Spices?" Peeta asked, his face lighting up. Katniss had an idea. She put the cloth pouch behind her back and grinned evilly.

"Kiss and make up, Peeta Bread Mellark." She taunted. "If you really love me more than the Boy with the Snares." Peeta yanked off his apron. He checked the timer on the oven and then walked resolutely toward Katniss. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her toward him. She gasped as he picked up her light frame. He smiled as she automatically wrapped her legs around his. His kisses were gentle yet urgent.

"Peeta." She whispered. She closed her eyes and gasped as Peeta kissed her jaw and neck. "You make me so confused."

"You like this?" Peeta asked locking his blue eyes on hers. Katniss nodded. "Show me, Girl on Fire." Katniss pushed him and a cloud of flour rose up as they hit the floor. Katniss kissed Peeta with ferocity. They were both moaning each other's name as they ran their hands over each other and kissed.

"Is this how you're making up now?" Haymitch asked at the back door amused before chugging from a bottle. "Bread's done, bread boy!" Peeta yelped. Katniss rolled off of him. He threw on his apron over his now bare chest and put oven mitts on before taking two loaves out of the oven. "Hurry and make yourselves decent! We've been waiting for two minutes already!" Peeta grabbed his iPhone off the counter as he tugged his chef's jacket back on. Katniss buttoned the buttons as he checked the messages. Katniss grabbed her iPhone from her bag and they sat on the flour coated floor.

BreadforKatniss: Hi. We're here. Sorry we're late!

Huntergirl: Yeah. We're here.

DrunkSeamGuy: Sweetheart, you should change your name to BreadBoysGirl after what I saw with you two 'cooking up the love' in the kitchen.

BreadforKatniss: HAYMITCH!

Huntergirl: SHUT UP!

HottieinaSpeedo: Oh, THAT'S why you two were late! Don't worry! Sometimes after working out, I get absorbed staring at my sexy body in my full-length mirror -

SorryIaxedYou: FINNICK! GROSS!

NutsformyVolts: When Beetee sends something to the patent office, we don't schedule anything the next morning because I like to

WhiteandNerdy: Um - Wiress likes to pamper her husband. Thanks, hon [blushing]

NutsformyVolts: I just get so proud of you and love you

SorryIaxedYou: [throws up on the table] Ew! Sappy married-people grossness!

DrunkSeamGuy: As exciting as SOME of our love-lives are, I'm sure that's not why we're here... Anyone have recent news on the rebellion or Quell front?

WhiteandNerdy: Oh yes! I do! Ok, so, here's the line-up of special weapons Plutarch has lined up for our alliance in the cornucopia: My wire, a trident, a top of the line custom-made bow and arrow set, TWO throwing axes just the right weight for you, Johanna, and the usual assortment of swords, knives, and the like.

HottieinaSpeedo: WOO! A TRIDENT! Hey guys, did you know that I've been on the cover of ads for industry-grade tridents in D4? I'm wearing my favorite speedo and holding that thing in the air and OH MAN - I look HAWT!

LoveToFish: I hhave a pict ure in my room finny such a hand soome young mann

SorryIaxedYou: Wow, Mags, that's disturbing!

NutsformyVolts: No, get your mind out of the gutter, Johanna. She's proud

WhiteandNerdy: Of her tribute.

DrunkSeamGuy: Ok, since I'm the mentor for you lot, GRAB YOUR WEAPONS and GET OUT OF THERE.

Huntergirl: Yeah, because we've NEVER BEEN IN THE ARENA EVER, HAYMITCH!

LoveToFish: Plutarch caan put fish hokks in but I makk e mhy own ok

SorryIaxedYou: Ok, we need to prioritize who we need to protect and who can get killed off.

WhiteandNerdy:Johanna, can you PLEASE word that more diplomatically?

DrunkSeamGuy: K - who you guys wanna save 1st 2nd - yeah - oh yeah

Huntergirl: Haymitch, you BETTER not be getting drunk during our chat!

LoveToFish: You can ' t see hhim

BreadforKatniss: We're on the kitchen floor in my house.

HottieinaSpeedo: "baking bread"

Huntegirl: PEETA! Do you realize how BAD THAT SOUNDS! Ok um - even though Peeta drives me absolutely crazy, we should save him.

BreadforKatniss: We should save the Girl on Fire.

WhiteandNerdy: Yes, Plutarch wants to keep both of you together, Katniss and Peeta.

NutsformyVolts: My dear Beetee. Take care

BreadforKatniss: We'll watch out for Volts. And you too, Wiress.

SorryIaxedYou: Ok, Star-Crossed Lovers, Sappily Married People. Check. Finn? Capital women would hate to see life leave your sexy body in the arena.

HottieinaSpeedo: I take that as a compliment ;) ;) Oh um - I have ... secrets... about the Capital. Oh, and get Mags out too. Jo, you'd definitely be useful to give the Capital attitude after we get to Thirteen.

LoveToFish: no no finny watch out plleasee for my fin fin

SorryIaxedYou: Oh yeah, I have secrets too. But I really could care less if I get out dead or alive. Though alive would be preferrable. I'd LOVE to see the Capital land on their A$$ES! HECK YEAH!

DrunkSeamGuy: Ok, Peeta and Katniss have to come out. Beetee has to use his wire, and the rest of you will all be very valuable assets after the Quell. Done.

Huntergirl: So, I guess we can't really prioritize who to get out then.

DrunkSeamGuy: Just - all of you, try and get out of there. Especially you two, Katniss and Peeta.

WhiteandNerdy: Ok, guys, burning the 4G again! Talk to you all soon!
