Katniss' P.O.V

Peeta's taking me out to a baseball game later and I'm so excited. Baseball is absolutely my favourite sport. I've always wanted to play but I got put into the games. That ruined everything. Anyways, he's supposed to be here at 1 and it's 5 to 1 so I'm gonna get ready. I throw on a Coalminers jersey and jean shorts. Yup, that's the name of the district 12 baseball team; the Coalminers. Original, I know. I go downstairs to sit on the couch. I still can't get over how much nicer this house in Victor's Vilage is than the others in the district. We've rebuilt most of the houses in the district to look pretty much like the Victor's Village ones, but some of them still need work. I've been helping out a lot with the rebuilding and it's going really well. Peeta and Haymitch have been helping out as well. I glance at the clock and do a double take. Wait a minute, it can't be 1:10. Wow, I have really bad time management. Well, it's not my fault Peeta's late, he was never really the on time type. I'm about to call him when I hear a knock on the door. I'm expecting Peeta, but it's Effie.

"Oh Katniss!" She shrills when I open the door.

"Huh?" I say "what is it Effie"

"I have something to tell you" she says, timidly

"shoot" i say bluntly.

"Well, I was thinking about moving to district 12"

I try to talk but I'm dumbfounded.

"aghags" is all I say

"pardon me?" Effie asks

her oh-so-annoying Capitol accent brings me back to reality so I say "What? I thought you hated district 12!"

"oh, well you've really cleaned up around here" she says with a nervous laugh.

" is that it?" I say with a smirk.

" well, kind of. I want to move here for other reasons too."

"Care to list 'em?"

" well, the Capitol's not as nice as it was before and I missed you and Peeta."

"Are we the only people you miss?"

"well, no. I miss Haymitch too. Just don't tell anyone. I already told Peeta. Well, I must go. He said that he was heading over here to take you on a date"

I blush because I know that it's a date even though he never said it was in those words. She heads out the door and I just stand there, taking in what I just heard. Then comes another knock at the door and I turn around to open it. It's Peeta.

"Your late" I say, mocking Effie's accent.

"well sorry, Princess." he says, catching on and mocking Haymitch. We've known them for so long, we've gotten really good at mocking them.

Peeta's P.O.V

Pardon my French, but shit! I'm late for the ball game with Katniss. I throw on a Coalminers (original right) jersey and jeans and head out the door. Looks like Effie's just leaving. I walk over and knock on the door. She opens the door and automatically says "Your late" doing a perfect immitation of our former escort, Effie Trinket's, oh-so-annoying Capitol accent. I catch on and answer in an impression of our former drunk mentor, Haymitch Abernathy, (whom Effie misses and is moving to district 12 for) by saying "well sorry, Princess." Haymitch recently started calling Effie 'Princess' or 'Trinks'. I don't know if Katniss has noticed, but Abernathy and Trinket have been getting closer and closer. So have Cinna and Portia. Anyways, we head off to the game and talk. We get there and I lead her to our seats. Front row, centre.

"You have no idea how much these seats costed" I say "I got a discount and they were still about, oh, all of my money. She snickers and we sit.

"Oh my god! It's the wonderful Katniss Everdeen! She won a games, survived a Quell, and a war as well."

"What?" Katniss sputters and turns.

"As did I" says the fake fan.

"Johanna." Katniss says through gritted teeth. "Johanna Mason. What the HELL was that for?" She yells.

"Oh no reason" she says innocently.

"Wait." I say, realizing that Johanna's in district 12. "What are you doing here?"

"oh. am I not wanted?" She says sarcastically.

I give her a look and say "I mean, what are you doing in district 12? Your from 7."

"Well, I moved here with a guy"

"A guy?" Katniss questions.

"Yes a guy"

"name?" She says

"Jordan" says Johanna with a smile.

"great! Where are you gonna live?"

"Victor's Village, near you guys. And, don't get all questiony about it. You've got a guy. Peeta?"

I give her a nervous wave and stutter out "well, it's not like - we're not totally - it's complicated."

"Right." says Johanna, awkwardly. "Well, I gotta run. Still unpacking. See ya later!"

"looking forward to meeting Jordan!" Katniss calls after her with I wave. Johanna turns around, smiles (that's something new) and waves. we turn back around and wait for the game to start.

"Katniss? Katniss Everdeen? Peeta? Peeta Mellark?" We both expect it to be Finnick or someone. It's not. It's a shy, little 9 year old boy. "My parents told me about you. They love you and I can't believe your here, in person!"

Always being the charming one, I say "Yup, that's us!" sweetly.

"Come on guys! It's them!"

"Shit." I say under my breath. "Katniss, we gotta get out of here." I say and grab her hand. I drag her out through the hundreds of people and stop when we're a safe distance away from the stadium.

"Thank you Peeta." she says breathlessly. "That was really nice of you. I mean, without you, I would still be in there-" I cut her off with my lips. I had forgotten how good they felt on mine.

When we break apart I say "no problem. But one thing"

"shoot"

"great game eh?" She gives a breathy laugh and we walk home, hand in hand. We separate and go to our houses.

When I get inside, I close the door behind me, lean against the back of it, and think "wow. What a day"
