Dear Guest who reviewed on chapter 21: Yes I know everything is happy again! Lets' see how long that lasts! Gale and Madge ;) maybe, maybe not! You'll have to keep reading and see!
Dear RageHer0 who also reviewed on chapter 21: Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the idea! I thought about it but it just didn't fit in with where I wanted that specific chapter to go, but I think I'll use your idea later in the story! Thanks a lot for sharing it!

Peeta Pov
I had kissed one or two girls before.
They weren't particularly good or bad, they were fine.
Afterwards I just assumed that all those fireworks and butterflies and sparks flying that people say comes with kissing was just for kids and over exaggerating poets and love story authors.
But when Katniss Everdeen's chapped, crooked lips met mine I swear I saw fireworks appear behind my eyes.
Or maybe I am just one of those dramatic, over exaggerating poets.
It was short, quick. Only a few seconds long.
I barely had time to close my eyes and reciprocate before she was pulling away.
A blush, far deeper than any I've seen her wear before, spread across her cheeks as she attempted to smile while stuttering a "Goodnight."
Frozen, I was helpless other than to watch as she entered her house and shut the door, that damn, stupid, insufferable door which separated me from her.
I stood outside her house for a minute or two, staring at the door, trying to convince myself that what happened wasn't a dream or a hallucination.
Eventually my feet move backwards and in my haze I find myself in the back of Finnick's car once more.
Bluntly ignoring Finnick and Annie's teasing remarks and jokes, I stare out the window once more.
My mind works in overdrive, every cell in my brain trying to remember every detail about that moment.
How the strand of caramel hair had fallen and brushed against my cheek.
The shining sparkle in her grey eyes before they closed just as her lips touched mine.
The way her soft, small hand touched my arm and she stood up on her toes to reach me.
The feel of her long, black eyelashes against my blonde ones.
Her lips pressed against mine.
The tightening knot in my stomach, how my heart seems to be beating three times as fast as normal.
How the simple memory of it caused me to break out into a massive smile.
Most of all the fact that couldn't stop swirling round and round in my head was that kissing Katniss Everdeen, going out on a date with Katniss Everdeen wasn't just a fantasy anymore.
It was a memory.
A beautiful, wonderful, perfect memory I would treasure forever.
Without a doubt this was certainly the best day of my life.
And it was only just the beginning.
