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!

Zack and Jack were looking at their hands with sudden fascination and Franklin looked like he was about to cry. "Jasper! You're hurting Franklin's feels."

"I'm not. You are! You don't have to hang out with them. Mikael is in jail because of what he's been doing."

"I don't care! He'll come back soon, and Shannon is like a big sister to me. I can't just leave her." Jasper's teeth clenched. "I just wanted to do this…you know together. Just can say you were sick on the days you can't go, be a tree. Just please, it won't be the same without you. Franklin wants to do it." Franklin nodded. She looked at the twins who both gave her a guilty smile.

"We…Jasper is very-"

"-convincing," Jack finished Zack's sentence. Lilac looked over her friends and sighed, tears now blurring her vision. "Ok…ok I'll do it. For you guys, I can't say no to you."
