Chapter 5: Arrival to the Capitol

Katniss' POV

"So… Delly went to bed. Are we going to bed too?" Peeta asks.

I look at Peeta with sad eyes. I don't know if I'll be able to fall asleep on a train. Each trip I've had on one has never been good. But tomorrow is a big day. Tomorrow we go to the Capitol. We're going to need rest.

"I… I don't know if I'll be able to sleep on the train." I admit. "I haven't had nightmares with you around of course, but on this train?"

"We have to at least try, Katniss. Tomorrow is a very big day." Peeta says. "We have interviews and stuff. Besides, we'll be getting there pretty early, so we'll have to wake up."

"I know…" I say. "Let's go to bed then I guess."

Peeta and I walk into our little sleeper room. I go in the bathroom and change into my pajamas. Then, I lay down on my bed and find Peeta already laying there. We get under the covers.

"Goodnight, Mrs. Mellark." Peeta says and kisses my forehead.

I just lay there staring at the ceiling of the train. I know sleeping will not be an easy task tonight. There's too many horrible memories from trains.

"Can you sleep?" Peeta asks.

"No. Can you?" I reply.

Peeta turns over and looks at me with those eyes. He shakes his head no.

"Maybe I'm not even tired." I say. "Or maybe it's the memories."

"I know how to fix both of those problems." Peeta says.

Peeta throws his arms around me and pulls me closer to him. He kisses my neck, then my forehead, then my cheek and stops at my lips. Shivers go down my spine. He just then stares at me as if I was the most beautiful thing in the world. Finally I can't take it anymore and I just start kissing him on his lips. That feeling comes to me again, and doesn't stop. The feeling that I have to have Peeta as long as I live. And this feeling mixed with the feeling that we're getting married is the best one in the world. Suddenly, the train doesn't seem so bad anymore. But he refuses to stop kissing me. And this I don't mind. We kiss and kiss, take a breath, and then kiss some more. It seems to never end, and I love it. When he does stop, I'm tired out and finally ready to sleep.

"Now can you sleep?" He asks.

I giggle and nod. He puts his arms around me tighter, and the feeling of his heartbeat against mine makes me slowly drift off to sleep. I am awoken to the feeling of Peeta shaking me awake.

"No nightmares?" He asks.

"No nightmares." I say. "Are we already in the Capitol?"

"No, we're just about to arrive in District 1. I thought you'd want to be awake to see Madge." Peeta says.

I look out the window and see factories galore. District 1. The District where everything luxurious is made. All the things that would be considered useless in District 12, but a must have in the Capitol. I walk into the bathroom, take a quick shower and brush my teeth. I put my blue dress back on and braid my hair into its signature braid. Today is a big, big, big, day as Effie would say it. All the lies are going to be erased, and replaced with true facts. When I come out of the shower, Peeta is waiting there for me with a muffin in his hand.

"Eat up." He says. "We won't have much time to eat today with all we're doing."

To my surprise, Peeta is wearing what he wore on the day of his first reaping too. A white collar shirt with black pants. His hair isn't slicked back though, it's normally combed like it usually is. I can't help but laugh out loud.

"What?" He says. "Do I not look… Extremely handsome in this?"

This makes me laugh even more. He always knows just what to say.

"No, of course you do. And I mean EXTREMELY handsome." I say with another laugh.

"I guess we're both wearing our reaping clothes. Maybe it'll make us fit in with the Capitol people more." Peeta says.

Now I majorly doubt that. With what they wear there, we won't even begin to look like them. We'll stand out so much that everyone will notice us. Everyone already knows that we're going to be here though. Anyone and everyone is invited to the interview, so a lot of people will probably show up. There's probably a paparazzi waiting at the train station for us. The sound of the train creaks and slowly comes to a stop. It's been forever since I've seen Madge. When I was living in 13, she and her family were presumed dead. But, someone recently notified me that her and her family escaped to District 1 during this time. I guess it just seemed like the place that was furthest away from 12 besides the Capitol.

"We're here!" Peeta says and runs to the door.

I see Delly meet him at the door, and I walk over there as well. I grab the latch and cautiously open the door. There in front of me, I find Madge looking no different from when I last saw her. Skinny, with straight blonde hair and green eyes. She's wearing a white polo shirt with a khaki shirt.

"Well if I would've known we were wearing our reaping clothes, I would've worn my white dress!" Madge says with a laugh.

Delly looks over at Peeta and me, and laughs too.

"I would've brought my yellow dress!" Delly says.

Instead, Delly is wearing a jean skirt with a yellow shirt. Peeta grabs Madge's suitcase, while Delly helps her on the train. The conductor walks up to Madge and takes her ticket, and then walks away. We all go over to the dining car to sit down and talk.

"So… You guys are getting married! I always knew you guys actually liked each other!" Madge squeals.

"We always have." I say to Peeta and kiss him on the lips.

"Aren't they so cute?" Delly says to Madge.

"The cutest." Madge says.

Delly and Madge have really never known each other. They've always been in the same class, but have never talked much. They seem like two girls that would get along though. They're both extremely nice, and also pretty girly. Madge would usually talk with me, and Delly with Peeta I assume. District 1 is only about an hour away from the Capitol. The time goes by quickly. We basically catch each other up on each other's lives. Apparently, Madge has gotten a boyfriend named Fred. Delly plans on moving away from District 12 soon, since she hates being underground so much. We tell them about what we have to buy here, and about the interviews tonight. Maybe even they'll get interviewed. We tell them how different the Capitol people are, and how they'll meet Effie and our prep teams. We start to come up the mountain to the Capitol. Nothing has changed at all. It's still the beautiful gleaming city it was before. Delly and Madge rush to the window. They've only seen the Capitol on TV. Peeta and I just sit back and hold hands. When we've arrived, the conductor takes all of our luggage off board.

"One more time… For the cameras?" Peeta asks.

I only laugh, and kiss him. The door opens, and I take his hand. This time, I know I'll never have to let go.
