AN: At last, the final chapter that I'm dreading to post because I HAVE NO INSPIRATION WHATSOVER!

Sorry for updating really late—it's two weeks! — I have no more ideas for this story

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Nada Golden.

Fun fact: Nada is my cousin's dog, which has a golden coat! *smiley face*

Katniss

"Why exactly did you tell him that Peeta?" I crossed my arms and tried to look as stern as possible.

"Because," He started, "I know that you want to marry me from the very start. I wasn't quite oblivious. Did you know that you've been giving me subtle hints?" He gave off a silly smirk that I wanted to wipe off his handsome face.

"Wait, didn't you tell me you were nervous about what would Catnip say? That you were afraid that she would blow you off?" I looked at Gale. This was one of the times he rescues someone from humiliation—not that I was humiliated.

"Oh really, tell me more Gale." I grinned. Peeta's face was bright red but he was obviously trying his hardest to hide his growing redness.

"Well," Gale began. He glanced at Peeta before continuing. "Peet—"

"-Oh we're getting close to the fence. Gale, race you to it." Gale grinned at Peeta and ran off to the fence, the latter perceptibly behind the former, because of his prosthetic leg. Laughter was coming out from both of them and I couldn't help but smile. I think things are going better than I had imagined. More things occurred that I haven't thought about. I lugged the game bag and ran for the fence. I slid the game bag before me and Gale caught it, like always. As I bent down to slip myself in, the hum of the electric fence was heard. Damn it. The three of us took a step back, not wanting to electrocute our earthly bodies. I could see a look of concern on Peeta's face whereas no trace of it was found on Gale's. This has happened a lot to me before. Gale laughed but was cut by Peeta abruptly.

"This is not funny."

"Yeah, this is not funny." I glared at Gale. Even though I happened to have so much experience being trapped outside the fence, I honestly hate it out here.

"Okay then, this is not funny." I could see Gale was holding back laughter. I rolled my eyes. Gale was never like this. He was always serious. Did Gale spend time with Haymitch?

"Did you spend time with Haymitch?" I spoke my mind.

"A little bit." The corners of his lips twitched up into a smile.

"I knew it." I groaned dramatically.

"Okay enough. What are we going to do with Cheese Buns?"

"Cheese Buns?" Gale looked puzzled.

"Cheese Buns is my official nickname for the girl on the other side of the fence."

"No offense, but don't you think that's kind of…CHEESY?"

The two men opposite me roared in laughter. I shook my head in disgust and turned around.

"Wait Cheese Buns, don't go!" Peeta looked serious. I faced them and again started an outburst of hilarity. Ugh. What did Haymitch do with these guys? I briskly walked deeply into the woods, found a strong oak tree and climbed.

Peeta

There she goes. Perfect! I looked at Gale and he nodded. We both knew what to do next.

I barged in through the door of my house—well it's not barging in since I own it—and went directly to the study. I studied the all-too-familiar faces of the occupants of the room. Johanna, Annie and her son, Finn, were settled down on a couch. Beetee and Enobaria weren't able to come and join us. Beetee was in really bad shape to travel and Enobaria was—well, she did not want to come. Finn, about two years old, ran towards me. He looked just like Finnick. He stuck his tongue just like that and hid under the study's table. "Finnick? You've shrunk." I joked. Annie just laughed softly and quite maturely. It was different from all the giggles and laughs in the Capitol. She stood up and went after "Mini Finnick". I glanced at Johanna—who is like my best friend now—and smiled at her. She stuck her tongue out at me like Finn had done and turned her face into a scowl. The door creaked open and in came Haymitch and Mrs. Everdeen held out her arms for a hug. I awkwardly got into them and she patted my back.

"Did it work?" she asked me, her face lit up.

"Yes," I laughed. Getting her to stay in the woods was one job that was tiresome and costly. I am just glad that District 5 allowed us to use power much longer and earlier today. She nodded and smiled.

"Good to know. But remember; just make sure she won't be harmed."

"Come on, Katniss won't be harmed, we all know that!" Haymitch snickered and I saw a crease forming between Mrs. Everdeen's eyebrows." She's just like Katniss. A knock on the door was heard. I walked up and opened it. It was Gale and behind him, I could see Greasy Sae and all the other survivors in the District, walking about and doing the jobs I instructed them to do. Everyone in the District knows all about my plan for today and helping me in every way they can. Gale raised his eyebrows at me. I knew what it meant. It meant that time is running fast. I need to get this done before sunset. I need to get married before sunset. I turned around and told everyone: "Why don't we just go and make things ready for the wedding?" Different reactions were seen. On Johanna's face was a playful scowl that said: Helping out again? That sucks. Excitement was seen all over Annie's face. And Haymitch's was pure dread. I couldn't help but laugh a little. I could just remember the time when we were plotting my not-so-ingenious proposal to Katniss. Johanna must've sensed me thinking about Katniss caused she started asking about the girl on fire.

"Where exactly is she?"

"Didn't Peeta tell you she was in the woods?" Gale smirked at her.

"Ugh. He did tell us the plan but where exactly is the place she is?"

"We don't know the clockwork of her brain. She knows the woods more than I do."

"So?"

"We don't know. And why did you want to know anyway? Do you want to go after her?"

"You are one cocky person, you know that?" she muttered, staring directly at Gale's eyes.

"Yeah. Nada tells me that all the time."

"Where is Nada?" I suddenly ask.

"She must be around here somewhere."

"Pfft. You left your girlfriend from Two wandering in Twelve? "Johanna huffed.

"Yes. Yes I did."

A golden head caught our attention. Her blue eyes had a piercing stare and sparkled in the light. Then, it hit me. She looked a lot like the late Madge Undersee. Her head of yellow was tied up into a high ponytail. Her mouth was a thin straight line.

"Nada," Gale emitted a sound that showed surprise. Nada didn't look at Gale and proceeded to march into the room, her back straight, and like a soldier.

"The fence has lost electricity. I'm afraid Katniss may now enter the District premises."

Shoot. Shock registered on my face. I looked at Gale, who seemed to be in shock as well. District 5 said that they'll provide electricity until late in the afternoon.

"I told you we were wasting time!" Gale snapped, gritting his teeth.

"Gale! Now is not the time to point those things out. We have to act, not talk. " Wow. I feel really intimidated by this girl right here. I guess Nada is from the military. "I'm out of ideas, but Nada is right. We have to act." I said. There was a brief moment of silence at first, but Annie piped up: "Why not let someone go to the woods, find Katniss, and go lead her deeper in? " It was not a bad idea at all. But we must find someone who's not scared of the woods, not Gale nor me for we got some things to do someone who needs to bond with Katniss Everdeen. My gaze suddenly fell on Nada. I looked at Gale. He nodded. Nada it is.

Katniss

The fence seemed to have died down. I caught a glimpse of a blonde girl, in a white cotton shirt, tucked into brown trousers. I suddenly got down, for she was a stranger. I have never seen that girl before in twelve. Maybe she's from another district who moved here to Twelve. She suddenly plunged down under the fence and into the woods. I look at her. She reminds me of someone. Well, she looks like Madge, but there's more to it. She gave me a smile and held out her hand. "Nada Golden. I'm from District Two." Oh, so this is the famous Nada. I took her hand and shook it. "Katniss Everdeen," She laughed. I guess she already knew me. "Nice to meet you Nada." She nodded her head, as if saying the same.

"So um, what brought you here in the woods?"

"Gale and Peeta told me we need girl bonding time." She said, grimacing. This girl and I will have so much fun.

"Whoopee for us," I joked. She gave me a friendly smile. I smile back. I could feel that this trip would have so much smiling in store.

"What do you want to see?"

"Any place you would care to show me."

"Maybe where Gale and I used to hang out? Do you want to go there?"

"I've been there this morning."

"He showed you?"

"No, I showed myself."

"Really, then how did you know that place was it?"

"Gale told me one time at that the places he loved to go to, there were childish etches of his name on nearby trees."

"I did not know that."

"Really?"

"Yeah. Would you care to show me?"

"Okay."

"How'd you find the place?"

"I have senses, and being a soldier makes them heightened."

"You're a soldier?"

"Yes. And I always wanted to be one."

"Um, when the rebellion occurred, where were you?"

"I was in Two, Hiding. I actually think it was cowardly of me. I mean. I wanted to be a soldier, but I was hiding? Does that make sense?"

"Funny, it does."

"Thanks Katniss."

The next few minutes were silent. We did not talk. And we were amazingly looking at the exact spot Gale and I hung out. I only emitted a small "Wow," as I stared into the place Nada just led me to.

"You are so good."

"Told you." She laughed.

"What are they doing back by the way?" I asked, changing the subject.

"Uh, doing some bonding time too? Maybe?" She said, looking serious. I decided not to comment. Nada looked scary when not smiling. Then, I realized whom I compared her to.

"You're from Two,"

"Yeah,"

"Uh, do you know Cato, from the Seventy-fourth?"

"Oh, the one you killed?" She said with no emotion. I could feel my body tense.

"Do you, by any chance, know him?"

"Yes. He's my half-brother. By the way, thanks for killing the bastard." I felt my body relax unexpectedly.

"Why, do you hate him?"

"No!" She laughed. "Thank you for your mercy. He could have died painfully and slowly if it weren't for your arrow."

"I don't know how to comment on that."

"No really, thank you." I just kept silent. It was extremely awkward.

A few moments of silence took place. It was obvious that neither of us liked to talk. That made me think of Madge again. It was unhealthy, the way that I kept thinking of people who have passed away, making me lose control of my emotions deep inside. This could be put to much better use.

"Do you know how to climb?" I said, breaking the alarming silence that was building up between us. Has talking been this hard? "Not really," she said, and I could see a hint of a smile on her face. It confused me really.

"You want to learn how?"

"Sure,"

"Watch my lead." I sought the tallest tree near to me and grasped the lowest branches. I hauled my body up gently and swiftly. In no time at all, Nada was two branches below me, expertly estimating which branch to pull her up with. I was in awe. She laughed, noticing the state I'm in. "You're good." I admitted, making her chuckle.

"I'm a soldier remember?"

"I remember." Oh shoot. I've just made a complete fool out of myself. Nada was just messing with me. Soldiers were trained to do this kind of things. I could hear Nada's laughter ringing in my ears. I glare at her.

"What?"

"I hate you."

"Well then, I hate you too." she slowly descended from the tree and stepped with perfect precision onto the muddy forest floor. She beamed up at me and laughed. I rolled my eyes and carefully got myself down and when I did, I grabbed a handful of mud from my feet, and aimed at Nada Golden's face.

Peeta

I just hope the girls are doing fine. I glanced at the yet to be finished cake. It just needs finishing touches. The five-layered butter cake was frosted white with green and orange trimmings. It was unusual for me to do this kind of design, but I'm feeling demented at the moment. Perhaps a bit inspired? I put the final designs and turned around to ask Mrs. Everdeen what she thinks about it. "How does it lo—". Before I could finish what I was supposed to say, Johanna burst through the door of the bakery, looking like she had something important to say. I guess she does. Mrs. Everdeen and I looked at her, as she was just catching her breath. "What is it Johanna?" Mrs. Everdeen asked calmly. "They've just entered the Fence." My heart was pounding hard. I wasn't scared, I was just…afraid.

"I guess we should get everything ready then." I said, making myself sound enthused, but nervousness drowns it all out. The two women with me felt my anxiety, making them laugh. I sighed, for I can't deny it because it was obvious. Without saying anything, I walked to the door, opened it, and stepped out of the bakery, with the two women falling in line behind me. The town square, which was out of sight from Katniss' usual place, was decorated with festive decors. Annie was behind all this, for she had pleaded for something to do. And I might say that this is pretty overdone. It's like having a festival for the wedding which is unusual because wedding traditions in Twelve only included signing of papers and the toasting of the bread. But then again, some of the traditions in Panem were lost since the uprising. Mixed traditions were left. Finn ran towards me and hugged my pseudo pod. Annie looked at me worriedly. "I like what you did here Annie!" I call out, and she smiled. Finn loosened his grip on my leg and gave me a smile and ran off to his mother. I called everyone to finish things up.

Katniss

Nada and I were covered in mud. It started when I hit her face with precision and earth resided on her face. She threw a gunk of mud and a wad of leaves at me, making me look like the forest floor. We continued to the Village to get ourselves clean. Careful not to track mud on the tiled floor, I removed my boots and went inside, ordering Nada to do the same. I gave her a towel and a robe, and sent her to the guest room. I went to my room to clean up, when I saw a note on the bed. I grabbed the paper and saw that it was from my mother, saying for me to go to the square at two in the afternoon. I laugh, it was incongruous that I go to the square at two in the afternoon. I got to the bathroom and bathed.

I wrapped the robe around my body, twisted the towel on my head and went outside the bathroom and into my bedroom. Nada sat on a chair, in front of the closet door. It was humorous, the way she sat there, guarding my closet. "Why are you guarding my closet?" I asked, laughing. She frowned at me and stood up. "I opened your closet, but only to find weird dresses that looked familiar. I believe you wore some of them on you Victory tour." Weird dresses? I took all my dresses away, now why would there be dresses in my closet? I sprinted to the closet and opened the doors. Surely enough, eleven dresses were hanged on the rack. I stumble backwards, a little too dramatically. Nada laughed. "So I guess this is what we'll wear?" I did not answer her. I threw open the drawers of the closet, but only found them empty. I sighed in exasperation. I didn't know who did this. I look back to Nada and answered her: "I guess we do."

I walk weirdly in my white dress, which Nada picked out, her wearing a light yellow dress –I think—I wore in District Nine. As we stepped out of the house, I saw Haymitch wearing a suit, and also walking to town. That was odd. Was something happening? I called out to him. He looked back, and his appearance was unbelievable. He was sober. That is the definition of something happening. "Is something happening? Why are you dressed like that?" I asked him. He just laughed. "Look who's talking." I rolled my eyes. "What is it?" I asked rather impatiently. He shrugged and continued walking. There's no other way but to follow him. Nada walked side by side with him, chatting him up, while I just kept silent. There was also something different from the path we are taking. Something's up. It's obvious. Then I remember the note from my mother, Gale being here, weird things happening. Now I know what's up and who's behind all this. I smile, knowing well that it might be another surprise from Peeta. I couldn't help but feel giddy that maybe this time, It's a wedding.

AN: That's it. Sorry if you think it's hanging, but as I had said, I'm completely and utterly UNINSPIRED. So, bye! This is the last Chapter. Check out my other stories, which I'll probably be updating soon!

FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO'VE READ THIS STORY, I LOVE YOU.
