~ Chapter 42~
I couldn't find the right words
nothing seemed to rhyme
to write something for you all
I think it will take time.
~ Piper pov~
There's nothing to say, staring off at the command room as the room fell silent. The only thing that was heard was the silence of grief, the tears of me, Diana and Maryanne along with primrose.
There's nothing more to say.
Because when you have friends
That are very hard to find
There's so much to say
Because you make everything alright
~ Diana pov~
No I'm not naming the baby Haymitch Jr or peeta Jr, and if it's a girl you can forget about naming her Kat" Diana said, firmly as Haymitch and the rehabilitated peeta complained about baby names.
As an amused katniss held peeta's hand.
Fine, what about Mitch? Or cedric—oh I know jewel—names were flying out of the two men's mouths like wild fire, as Diana and katniss looked on amused.
I'll keep your subjections in mined boys, but I'm not settling just yet" Diana said with a chuckle as peeta and Haymitch fought over Haymitch jr. and peeta Jr.
There getting into this aren't they" katniss said, leaning over towards Diana.
Just you wait, soon they will be fighting over whether to name your baby Hayitch jr. or peeta Jr." Diana said with a grin.
That is if I have any" katniss said, with a blush.
Oh, you will—making katniss blush deepen.
So I will tell you right now
exactly what I need to say
To show you how much I appreciate
You being there everyday
~Maryanne pov~
Grinning like a fool, finnick and Maryanne were leaning against each other staring at the sunset, enjoying each other's company.
Fin—do you want me to still—live with you" Maryanne asked, looking up at fin as she sat between his legs.
Of course love" he said, nuzzling into her neck.
So we will—be sharing a house—together as lovers" Maryanne said, blushing deeply.
For you love, well take it slow" he said, kissing her red cheek.
Would you like to go on a date when we—you know—get back—to district four" Maryanne asked nervously never before asking to go on a date.
I would love to" fin said, chuckling.
Then after our sixth date, I will ask you to marry you so we better start soon" fin said, chuckling as he avoided the light punch to his arm.
You're worth more than anyone
even a million pounds
because you always know what to say
When I am feeling down
~ Piper pov~
Looking at the star family, running around in enjoyment at the thought of going home soon was enough to make pipers heart sore with happiness.
Looking on both sides of her, were vulpix and thresh as they stood a side to watch the face of those that could go home.
Are you going back to district five" piper asked vulpix, as she turned her head to face her.
Ya, I want to go see my family, but I might visit eleven time to time who knows I might have found a guy there and settle down" she replied back, staring over at a muscular guard, with dark brown eyes that matched his hair.
Oh, I see" piper chuckled, at a red faced vulpix.
He's from district eleven ok, and we may have talked now and then" she said, walking over towards him as he gave her a smile which she returned.
So were heading back to eleven, and I hear that there's going to be rebuilding, we might end up being neighbors, and seeing a lot of each other" piper said, turning to thresh.
We just might" was his reply as they stared off at the star family were mister fizz was rounding up the children.
We just might" piper repeated, as she linked hands with him there fingers intertwining with his.
You make me smile big smiles
And my days so very bright
And when I lose my way
You find me in the night
~ Diana pov~
Staring at the beautiful dress, that was hand made by her lover. Diana for the last time ran her hands down the front counseling it with a dressing bag.
A knock was heard as she turned around there standing in the door way was Haymitch, he seemed to be like a father to her always there in her time of need.
Hey darling, how you doing" he said, taking a seat on a neat side chair.
Its hard to think I wont see him again, but I have people here that love me to, and others that need me" she said, turning to face him tears streaming down her face.
Where you plan to go?" he said no remorse or pity in his gaze just care.
I don't know really, maybe go see Portia and cinna`s family, and of course piper and Maryanne, but I don't really see where I'm going to settle" Diana said truthfully she really know.
You know sweetheart there wont be many people left in district twelve, and I don't think many people would like to settle in it either—and I cant stand having neighbors with people I don't know, and seeing as katniss and peeta need some help seeing as primrose and her mother are moving to district four, it would be good to have a face that we know" Haymitch said, scratching the back of his neck.
Hmm- that's true, who else would have to direct katniss in the world of being pregnant" Diana said, as she gave Haymitch a smile, which he returned.
I sometimes wish I could explain
How much you mean to me
But its just not possible
To list a billion things
~pov no one~
Standing around the burial ground of a fallen friend, Maryanne along with piper, Diana, primrose and most of the victors stared as the casket was lowed down.
Reflecting the hero she was, a plaque was made that read "here lays Megan arena—age eighteen, in memory of a fallen hero that gave her life for us to be free".
A man of woody fireman lay next to her—as piper looked at his grave she wondered who he was?
So I just wanted to say
I love you so so much
And I hope you never leave me
Promise to stay in touch
~ Diana pov~
So this is it—piper said, looking at her friends.
Seems so" Diana replied, looking between piper and Maryanne.
I'm going to miss you both so much, I'm going to visit—and hiccup—and write when ever I can—I'm going to miss you both so much-hiccup" Maryanne cried, throwing her arms around us as she held onto us for dear life.
I'll do the same" piper stated, trying to hold in the tears, as I couldn't seeing as my hormones and the situation wouldn't allow me.
Also—I—I'm going to come—v-vi—visit the baby as soon as I can—I except to be an aunt by that—time" piper joked even though her lips were trembling.
And I'm going to come and spoil it rotten" Maryanne cried, her nose running.
Between you two, Haymitch, peeta possibly katniss, Portia and cinna`s mother and sisters, my baby would think it's the king/queen of the entire nation" Diana chuckled, wiping away the tears that kept on falling.
Well, this is a special baby the first baby to be born in the new world of panama" piper said, trying to calm down.
What—do you plan to do" Diana said turning to piper.
I plan to help rebuild district eleven, I will still live with the star family seeing as they wont let me go anywhere else, might get thresh to fall in love with me along the way" piper said, a watery smile on her face.
And you" Diana and piper said, at the same time to Maryanne.
I'm going back—to four—and live with fin—and were going on a date—he said after the sixth date he would—well-as me to—marry him" Maryanne said, blushing deeply.
WHAT" Diana and piper said in sink?.
t-that's what he said" Maryanne said, looking embraced.
Where is that man, I'm going to knock some since into him" piper said, marching off.
Maryanne looked panicked at the thought of piper killing finnick, I would to but piper seemed to have it handled.
He will be fine" I reassured her, even if I didn't believe myself.
Ok… where are you going…planning on doing I mean?" Maryanne asked.
This time I don't have a plan, maybe go see cinna`s family, stop by to see Portia and maybe settle down in district twelve, they need all the help they can get, also they need some kids playing around" I say, as Maryanne looked a bit discouraged at the thought of her friends being so fare away.
But of course I'm going to right and visit you and piper every chance I get" I tell her, as a small smile comes on her face.
I'm going to miss you" Maryanne whispered to me.
And I'm going to miss you" I whispered back.
MARYANNE ITS TIME TO GO" finnick odair yelled down the hall to us.
I guess this is it" Maryanne said, giving me one last hug.
Ya it is, but well see each other again" I said, relishing her from the hug.
Now you better get going before he starts worrying" I said, turning to face finnick that was on the other side of the hall.
HEY FINNICK, YOU HURT HER YOUR DEAD, and YOU HEAR ME I GOT FRIENDS IN HIGH PLACES" I yelled to him, as I got laughter in reply.
Goodbye" Maryanne said, before I saw her walk to finnick as he wrapped an arm around her waist.
~piper pov~
FINNICK ODAIRE, WE GOT SOME TALKING TO DO" I said, once I grabbed a hold of his shirt collar.
YOU BETTER TAKE GOOD CARE OF MARYANNE OR YOU WONT GET TO LIVE TO SEE TOMMOROW, YOU HEAR ME VICTOR OR NO VICTOR" I said, relishing him.
Do you know were Maryanne is love" finnick said an amused smile on his face.
Just down the hall" I tell him as he moved to walk down, but I grabbed hold of his sleeve.
You take care of her, and I'll miss you as well…and I except to be invited to the wedding" I tell him sternly.
Of course love" he said, as he turned to leave, but I still held on.
And—tell Maryanne I'm not saying goodbye, I don't believe in goodbyes" I say, as I see the star family along with thresh and vulpix running towards me, as it was my time to leave as well.
~Diana pov~
HEY HAYMITCH" Diana yelled, sprinting to catch up with the departing district twelve.
STOP THAT RUNNING, YOUR GOING TO FALL" he yelled back at me, as I came to a stop in front of him.
Well—I though I might join you on your way to twelve, not that I'm planning to stay I'm just going to see how it is, and maybe help rebuild and things like that…that is if you still want me" I say, looking at him nervously.
You can if you don't puke on me when you get motion sickness" he said.
And also you have to be our neighbors also" came peeta's voice behind her, she turned around to peeta and katniss, and a smile came to her face.
Well of course, who else will I turn to that would heed to my every whim" I say, as Haymitch took my bags and threw them at peeta who caught them.
Be useful and carry her bags" Haymitch said, leading the way into the train, as katniss wrapped an arm around Diana's shoulders. And handed peeta her bags as well, as they chuckled to one another as they walked into the train.
Hey, why do I carry the bags" peeta said, faking to whine but the smile gave him away.
Oh, stop being a whinny pants" Haymitch said, as they all chuckled.
The past you cannot forget or undo,
The future is all we can look forward to.
Maryanne settled down with finnick, after years of asking and asking finnick finally accepted to marry Maryanne…ok he asked her. They had a little boy named Finn jr. odair. Who were a two years younger then Fiona? Then a short while later gave birth to a little girl named hayily: which means looking at the ocean.
Primrose became there neighbor, and became a doctor she was the one to actually deliver Finn.
Primrose then became primrose hawthorn, as she married Rory, they had one child named Megan hawthorn in memory of Megan arena.
Johanna became a mother of two; Benjamin mason and john mason seeing as she never married the man.
Wiress never married.
I wish I could have been there by your side...
For all the times you've wept and cried.
Diana's lived in the capitol for a year, living with cinna`s mother canner who was depressed for a long time, but had the support of her daughter kaki and halo… along with Diana as she looked at her like a daughter in law.
Soon baby, Fiona Megan hangerman was born, after two months after the birth she moved to district two, where she stayed for three year with Portia gale hawthorn became her neighbor and had a son of his own, named rice, just a year younger then Fiona.
Then she finally moved to district twelve where unfortunately for Haymitch (in a way) became neighbors, and he had ear plugs for when the baby started crying.
Katniss and peeta became god-parents, as Diana became there's when they gave birth to Rosie Diana melark (she was really touched for the middle name) and when pearl (after the pearl peeta gave to katniss in the arena) cinna melark was born, she cried when she learned the name.
Haymitch became the none-related grandfather, and when the kids didn't behave he threatened to throw them in with the gooses.
Diana didn't remarry really, or maybe not that's another story.
Know from my heart, what I say is true...
That I hurt for the pain you have been through.
Piper settled back into district eleven, where for the first four years she lived with the star family, and like she said thresh became her neighbor. For five years they skipped around there feelings for one another, till finally the kids cornered them and they confessed.
After three years of dating they got married, where vulpix came to live as a neighbor and she found that guy again and got married as well.
Piper and thresh had three children: ova fox miller the oldest, Abigail Megan miller second oldest, and Lima Flynn miller the only boy.
Vulpix rumba had one daughter: ruby sweets rumba.
Never alone shall you be,
Someday, freedom you will see
For this whole time, president coin was put away in forded of planning of killing the mockingjay on hard even dents by witnesses.
The quartet that was now a trio didn't see much of one another but on the special day of the end of the rebellion all victors and close rebels came together along with birthdays and holidays as well.
May your hopes and dreams come true,
No matter where you are, I'll always be here for you.
By most of there lives they loved and cared for one another but there's another story to tell, about a child in a world called panama but that's another story.
~I hope you liked~ I love you all and for one last time "I got my eye on you France"
