Here is the beginning of Catching Fire. I will only be doing in the arena for that though.

LittleRedDevilKat- Haha, Taylor Swift is amazing. And it's so cool you love the songs as much as I do. :D Do you have exams going on too? Or are you done them?

Current favourite song at the moment is Wide Awake by Katy Perry. It is amazing! :D

Chapter 1

It has been 3 months since the 74th Hunger Games. Alex is currently sitting at her desk in school. All guys in her grade 7 classes have been hitting on her trying to get her out on a date with them. Alex turns them down.

Alex writes the answer of her last question in math just as the bell rings.

Alex jumps up and grabs her homework that she has to do for the weekend.

"Thank god it is Friday." Alex whispers to herself as she runs out the door.

Alex runs to her house, drops her stuff off and grabs her bow and arrows that Jerry bought her as a gift for winning. Justin got a knife.

Alex runs to the fence and looks to make sure no one is coming. Alex slips through the fence and runs into the forest.

As she arrives to the clearing, Alex sees Katniss, Gale and Peeta.

"Looks who got off school finally." Katniss teases. Alex puts her stuff down and tackles Katniss with a hug. It has been 4 days since they last saw each other.

"Today I found out what those dog things are from 3 months ago." Alex informs them as Katniss pulls Alex onto her lap.

"What are they?" Peeta asks.

"They are called muttations. I was talking to a few people today and they said they are normal for the end of the games. They only come out of the final night for the end of the games. The next day, if it's down to two one survives."

"How's Justin?" Gale asks.

"He's been having nightmares a lot. I can't blame him. I'm having them too." Peeta gently takes Alex's left hand in his, and they both feel sparks.

Katniss sees this and inwardly smirks. Over the three months, Katniss discovered she has a crush on Justin, Alex's 17 year old brother.

"Hey Alex?" Katniss breaks the 16 and 12 year olds look at each other.

"Ya?" Alex asks.

"Is Justin's 18th birthday tomorrow?"

"Yup. Max's 10th birthday is next month."

"That's cool. What about you bring them tomorrow?"

"Ok. I will do that."

"Hey Alex." Gale starts, "every 25 years, there is a Hunger Games that calls back all victors over that 24 years before." Alex looks at Gale worried.

"And how many people in my district survived?" Alex asks carefully.

"That's the thing. Before you came and Snow rebuilt District 13, there were 2. One is from the annual 51st Hunger Games then the 61st. After that, District 13 was destroyed. Or so we all thought."

"Oh..." Katniss feels Alex starting to panic in her arms. She shoots a glare at Gale before she and Peeta begins to calm Alex down.

"Alex, listen to me." Katniss puts her hands of both sides of the 12 year old girl's face and gets her to look at her, "there was a girl and guy who won before you and Justin. This year for the 75th Hunger Games, the normal was is they will pick a guy and girl who already won. Yes there is a 50/50 chance you may be picked, but I will be picked because Peeta, Haymitch and I are the only ones that have even won in ALL the Hunger Games. As for Peeta and Haymitch, one of them will be going in with me. I WILL protect you just like 3 months ago. I will NEVER let you go. I will let myself die if it means I will save you." Alex let tears fall and just hides her face in Katniss' neck. Katniss puts her left hand in Alex's hair holding her in that position. Katniss wraps her right arm around Alex rocking her side to side.

Peeta stands up and grabs Gale by the arm.

"You are an asshole you know that?" Peeta glares.

"What? I was just giving her a heads up." Gale answers calmly.

"It doesn't matter. She's only twelve!" Peeta pushes Gale slightly and ducks when Gale's fist comes flying at him.

"I hate it that Katniss always comes out here JUST to SEE that bitch!" Peeta's fist comes into contact with Gale's mouth. Katniss quickly gets up and keeps Alex behind her.

"STOP!" Katniss screams at them. Peeta and Gale stops, "Gale, go home. Peeta..." Peeta looks at her, "you comfort Alex for a little bit. I will take Gale home and will be right back."

Peeta nods and wraps his right arm around Alex gently.

Peeta likes Alex more than a friend. Katniss knows he does as well. 2 months ago, Alex told Katniss about how she feels about Peeta, but thinks she is too young to feel that way. Katniss ended up telling Peeta that Alex feels the same about him, but is afraid. Katniss told Alex that Peeta likes her back.

Peeta knows this is Katniss' way on telling him to hurry up and confess to Alex, that he likes her.

As Katniss and Gale leaves, Peeta and Alex sit down on the log. Alex wipes her tears away looking at the grass.

Peeta takes a deep breath.

"I have something to tell you Alex." Peeta looks at Alex. When he spoke, Alex looked up at him.

"Ok." Alex whispers.

"May I show you?" Alex nods. Peeta leans forward slowly, giving Alex enough time to move away. When she doesn't, Peeta lets his lips fall on Alex's. Alex closes her eyes and slowly kisses him back.

~K&A~

"I like you Katniss. More than a friend."

"I don't like you that way Gale. I'm sorry."

Katniss walks into the clearing once again and sees Alex and Peeta kissing.

The two of them pulls away and Katniss watches as Alex smiles softly.

"I like you a lot more than a friend Alex. If you let me, I would like to be your boyfriend." Peeta tells Alex gently.

"I like you too Peeta. But, I though you and Katniss are 'star-crossed lovers'?" Alex confesses. Peeta chuckles and rolls his eyes.

"Well, in the Games, we are. But in the real world, we're not. The 'star-crossed lovers', were just to get sponsors." Alex nods. She rests her head on Peeta's shoulder as Peeta wraps his arm around her shoulders.

"I would love to be your girlfriend." Peeta smiles happily and kisses Alex's cheek.

"Don't worry about your age Alex. You will be turning 13 just a little bit before the 75th annual Hunger Games. And besides, Katniss and I just turned 16. We will be 17 a month before you are 13."

The new couple hears a branch snap and looks up to see Katniss laughing.

"Took you two long enough to get together." Katniss smiles walking over. She sits down and lifts Alex onto her lap so she can stretch out.

Alex rests her head on Katniss' shoulder and rests her legs on her older sister's.

Peeta rolls his eyes chuckling.

"You like Alex's brother Justin." Peeta sticks his tongue out at the other 16 year old. Katniss blushes as Alex giggles.

"Would you like me and Peeta to play matchmaker with you and Justin?" Alex raises her eyebrow smiling, "besides, then I will have a reason to call you my future sister-in-law."

"Does Justin even like me that way?" Alex sighs, rolling her eyes.

"He keeps bugging me about seeing you again. He's just never home when I come out. Girls are hitting on him, and I have a reason to bitch at them." Alex smirks getting an evil glint in her eyes, "He never bugs me about girls that he likes. Yet, NOW he is bugging me about you, so he likes you A LOT." Katniss smiles knowing Alex never lies to her.

"Good. I like him too. I never like guys, yet, there is Justin."

"Katniss Everdeen-Russo. Katniss Russo. Which one do you like?" Katniss laughs, rolling her eyes.

"Personally, Katniss Everdeen-Russo." Peeta smiles playing along.

"Good. I like that way too." Alex claps her hands together, "now let's plan their wedding."

Alex gets up and takes Peeta's hand in her's.

"You can't be serious!" Katniss gasps shocked. Alex turns and looks at her 'future sister-in-law'.

"Oh I am completely serious." Alex sticks her tongue out and takes off into the forest with Katniss chasing her. Peeta laughs and lies down on the log.

Man, today is amazing. Finally got the girl of my dreams, Alex Russo. Yet, Alex and I playing matchmaker with Katniss and Justin. Nothing can destroy this day. Peeta thinks.

Hope you like the opening for Catching Fire. Please review.
