Okay, I couldn't think of anything to put for the rest of the week so I decided to just make Haymitch come home in this one. ;) It might turn out really short cuz I'm saving the fun for next chapter. Again, thanx to booksandmusic97. You make my day :D lol

Haymitch's POV

I wake up in the white room, tired for some reason even though I just 'woke up'. My vision is a little whack but I can make out the dumb Gamemaker in his stupid blue, no, purple cloak. He comes over with his poor excuse for a smile.

"What did you do?" I practically yell at him. He just gives me a smirk and removes the tubes connected to my arm. What did he do to me?

"Oh calm down Haymitch, you are free to go and yes it has been a week." A week already. So that's it, I'm going to leave without knowing why I came to this hellhole in the first place. Questions keep swimming in my head, which makes the side of my head hurt.

"You still didn't answer my question. What. Did. You. Do to me?" I say slowly hoping the idiot gets it.

"Nothing you need to know, we finished our test so you're free to go. This'll teach you not to mess with my Games." With that, he leaves and the Peacekeepers take me over to the train station. I'm a bit wobbly but not as in the drunken way, but the dizzy way.

I board the train heading back to District 12 and eventually fall asleep from being so freaking tired. For some reason I have a strange dream about being sixteen again.

Peeta's POV

Stupid sun, why does it always have to be in my eyes even if they are closed? I just want a couple more minutes to sleep in the warm, empty bed. Empty? I sit up to no Katniss. I figured she might be hunting but I can't fall back asleep. I hang my legs over the bed and remember what day it is. Haymitch comes back today. This gives me the push I need to get off of the mattress, change my clothes, and head downstairs.

When I reach the bottom, I see Katniss come in the door holding a squirrel, dead in her hands. I must've been staring because she holds the squirrel up to shoulder length and starts to shake it.

"Take a good look Mr. Sunshine, it's dead so it's not like it's going to jump at you." She laughs and tosses it on the table.

"Do you know when Haymitch comes back?" I find myself asking.

"Jeez tiger slow down, you seem eager to know," She pauses to look at me, "Eleven o'clock." She say's flatly. Before I could ask she hands me a piece of cheese. I stuff it down my throat and we wait till eleven.

It was painstaking but eleven o'clock finally came and we rushed down to the train station. It seemed like minutes until the train came but really, it was only seconds. It stopped with a screech and smoke blew everywhere around the station. When it cleared, I see Haymitch come right up beside Katniss.

"Hey, long time no see." He says with a hoarse voice as if he was yelling and Katniss looks him up and down.

"You don't seem like you're glowing so I guess you're okay." She says then gives him a welcoming hug. Coming from Katniss, that is surprising. I too welcome him back and we walk home to the Victor's Village but he's unstable when he walks and seems exhausted.

"Haymitch are you drunk or something? I thought Peeta told you not to touch the liquor." Katniss accuses Haymitch playfully.

"No I didn't touch the liquor." It looks like he's about to yawn but he doesn't. We approach his house to find a box of liquor on his porch, "Ripper." He says quickly as he opens the door and scoots the box inside with his foot. "I'll get to it later."

I can't help but feel like he needs to sleep so I think about leaving him alone for the day, "Umm…you know what, how bout Katniss and I let you, rest." I give Katniss a look and she agrees.

"Yeah sure." He walks over to his couch then plops down on it and closes his eyes. We leave without a word and walk across the street.

"He's different. And I don't like it." Katniss says with a hint of hatred in her tone. I know what she's talking about and who. Call me paranoid, but I have another gut feeling that the Capitol did something and I want to find out.

I kinda hate this chapter because it seems…kinda boring and bland. It's an opinion but still. I might be posting a lot so sorry for the updates (unless I get writers block which I will xD) but I'm planing on staying up tonight and I kinda like to type when I'm bored ;) but…that can be a good thing :D
