Thanks to everyone who reviewed! You peeps make my day.

Haymitch's POV

I am in the living room, sitting in silence like Gale and Peeta are. After going into my younger brother's room, I've been kind of… I don't know, weird, emotional if I have to say it. I'm just not myself today and I'm happy the day is almost over. I look out the window to see only a little sliver of the sun left.

I shift my position and I can feel a bulge in my pocket from the picture. I am about to pull it out when I remember that Gale is still here. I quickly look over my shoulder and see Gale looking at me, like he's studying me or something.

"What?" I find myself asking without even thinking. Gale seems startled and quickly responds.

"Oh, nothing it's just that it seems like I should know you." He squints at me slightly and I look to see if Katniss is coming. She's not but I'm getting a little impatient.

"You know, I'm going to see where Katniss ventured off to." I say and head off looking for her. I wonder around for a bit until I see Katniss by her phone, just hanging up. I put down my hood and walk over.

"Who was that?" I ask. She seems surprised (Go figure) and glances between the phone and me.

"Someone." Is all she says and tries to walk passed me but I stop her. I must be intimidating because even though she's 'older', I still have a good inch on her.

"Who did you call?" I press. She once again looks back at the phone and then lets out a sigh.

"I called Finnick, to help turn you back to your normal age." Katniss looks up at me.

"What is he, the all mighty wizard of the sea or something? How can he help?" I question.

"Well, you got to give him credit for something Haymitch." Katniss says walking off. I begin to follow her but she stops dead in her tracks.

"What?" I ask.

"Gale." I hear her whisper. I quickly look towards the doorway and sure enough, Gale is standing there, wide eyed. Eyes trained only on me.

"I knew it!" He yells and walks over towards me.

"Gale we can explain." Katniss tries to convince him but he doesn't listen.

"Why didn't you tell me!" He says and turns back to me. Now I'm intimidated because he's got almost two inches on me being in his twenties. He pinches the bridge of his nose and lets out a breath.

"What's going on—" Peeta says skidding into the room, "oh." He sees the problem and walks beside Katniss.

"What happened?" Gale asks, he calmed down a bit but I wouldn't push anymore of his buttons or he might blow.

"Why do you want to know?" I snap. I don't know why but seeing Gale mad over something like this gets me ticked.

"Well Sabio, or is it Haymitch?" He throws back at me. I muster up an icy glare and he finishes his comment. "District 12's second victor is a 16 year old… again."

"Gale, it's a long story." Katniss gives him a pleading look but it doesn't work.

"We have time." Gale crosses his arms. Katniss looks at me but I keep my mouth shut.

"Haymitch went to the Capitol for a week and kind of came back a teenager." Peeta says quickly. Gale seems dumbfounded and shakes his head.

"How?"

"A Gamemaker put some sort of vaccination into him." Peeta lets out in a slight huff.

"A Gamemaker!" Gale exclaims. Throwing his hands into the air, "Why didn't you guys say anything earlier? Who knows how many people have been transformed back into their youth!"

"We didn't want to start any commotion." Peeta says quietly compared to Gale. Gale keeps his mouth shut and thinks it over for a while.

"Okay, okay. That was probably a smart idea." Gale says defeated. "So how are you going to get back to normal?" His attention turns to me.

"Now if I knew don't you think I would've turned myself back already." I say sarcastically. He just holds his gaze for a second and then turns back to Katniss and Peeta.

"Does anyone else know?" Gale asks. All eyes turn to Katniss who is twisting her braid in between her fingers.

"Yeah," She stops playing with her hair. "Finnick, but that's it, I swear." Katniss promises.

"Okay well don't let anyone else know." Gale orders. We just stand there in silence for a while until I look at the clock. 8:30. I let out a big breath and look at Katniss and Peeta.

"I think I'm gonna head home." I say and begin to walk out the door when I hear Peeta yell my name. I look back and he is pointing to his head. I give Peeta a questionable look and he just has a slight smile on his face.

"Your hood." Oh yeah, I completely forgot about it. I put it over my head and walk out the door. As I begin to walk home, I see a quick flash light up the sky accompanied by a settled rumble.

I eventually reach my house and walk into my living room. I take off my sweatshirt and quickly walk upstairs to my bedroom. As I reach the door I hear a louder rumble and the sound of rain hitting my roof. I open the door and plop down on the bed. I lay there for a while then sit back up.

I see my knife that I usually sleep with is on my nightstand beside my bed. I pick it up and I hear another crack of thunder. Huh, really adds affect I think to myself and sigh. I put it back down and reach into my jean pocket. I feel the picture and pull it out.

It's my little brother and me a week before the Reaping. A time when I actually smiled and laughed but that's the past. I'm leaning over him, ruffling up his hair while he was just smiling away. He could make anyone smile without even trying. I let out another sigh but this time it was shaky.

Right now, I wish I had my liquor to numb the pain but then another thought hits me. Will I still go into withdrawal from not drinking liquor or won't I? It never really occurred to me until now. But I just shrug it off and lay down on my bed. I find that I'm more tired than I thought because my eyelids are growing heavy and I keep yawning. I fight away the sleep because I still don't like sleeping in the night, young or not.

Eventually though, sleep wins and I am lulled by the sound of rain tapping on the roof and the quiet rumble of the storm. But something is different about tonight. Instead of falling asleep with my knife, I fall asleep with the picture still in my hands.

Okay done. Hope you people liked it. Sorry, no Finnick yet because it's not tomorrow ;) Remember to review please :D
