Twenty Years Later

by Fate's Second Apprentice

Time changes people and places. Twenty years after the revolution Panem is a different place. Watching Peeta and Katniss as they raise their kids as well as Gale in district 2. I'm planning for them to have kids so a bit of teenage romance as well as couple time with Peeta and Katniss because I like to think that even twenty years on they still need each other. Long story!

Chapter 12

"Hello." Mackenzie almost jumped. A pink haired student was leaning over the bench. "What are you doing?" Mackenzie cocked his head and looked at her a bit confused.

"I'm playing a game."

"Oh really? What game is that?"

"KRILL: The Quarter Quell."

"Isn't that for other thirteen year olds?" Mackenzie shrugged. The girl moved around the bench and sat down next to him. "Do you mind if I sit here?" He shook his head. "You can." They sat in silence. The girl watching the lake, swans drifted across the pristine water, Mackenzie played his game, after all he was about to win. "Is that the Ivawa Primary School uniform?"

"Most of it," Mackenzie told her. He smiled a bit then his character died. "WHAT?" He stared at the screen. A replay of his death tracked around. The tribute from district four who was supposed to be a kid Finnick had come and stabbed him in the back with a trident. Mackenzie growled and threw the game at the swans. They scattered. The girl looked a bit taken back. "I lost." Mackenzie told her simply.

"Oh yeah," She said, she understood. He looked at her closer now, "I probably have to get another console now. Do you want to come? I'll buy you an icecream." The girl looked at him with a odd smile and then nodded. "Sure, I'd love an icecream." Mackenzie got up and they walked down the path. "You're a cute kid, you know that?"
