Peeta's POV:

We woke early today, they are having us star training again today. They are not sure when our next mission is. So they want us to be ready in case something urgent would come up. Today's the first easy today, It's Katniss, Gale, Johanna, the rest of the 541 squad, and our camera filming crew. They want the filming crew to be trained in case something would happen they could help and battle with us. It makes sense I guess, but they don't want to do that. They just want to film us, not out their self's  in danger; but I guess they are either way.

I get done changing and shake Katniss gently waking her. "hey...wake up baby doll..." I whisper softly.

She mumbles something rolling over. "Don't make me jump on you."

"Bite me." She snaps back.

I flop on top of her and wiggle around. "Stop!" She yells. "Knock it off." I forgot she wasn't a morning person.

I chuckle and get off. "Good morning sweetheart."

"Blah blah blah.." She replies. I kiss her quickly and watch her walk into the bathroom clothes in hand.

"We have ten minuets to be in training." I yell through the door.

She's out just as soon as she went in. She takes my hand and walks us down to the center. She's wearing thin pants and a t shirt. Her hair is in her signature braid, it's neater than usual. I smile as we walk inside, Gales waiting. I guess he's still teaching the strength and conditioning class. We stand in line and we're handed a spandex suit and told to go change. I guess it's to make you sweat more and loose more weight, but by the looks of it none of need to loose weight here. Either way we put it on and it feels an awful like the arena jumpsuits from before. I look at Katniss who has sad eyes remembering the games. "I love you." I remind her.

"I love you too." We smile and walk into the main center.

"First up." Gale shouts. "One mile run, everyone go."

We take off through the obstacle course and Katniss sticks right by my side. "I'm slow, you go ahead and finish."

"I'm fine.." She grunts.

"No, go." She looks at me then runs ahead fast. She passes me once, twice, each time touching my side. Once she's done she falls onto the ground breathing heavy.

"Up Katniss, fifty pull-ups, fifty push ups." She doesn't hesitate to do them within minuets. By then I'm finished and my prosthetic is digging into my knee hard. I struggle to sit down, when I do she's by my side and pulls up my pant leg. She takes off the leg and sighs.

It's bloody and black and blue. "You need to stop doing this to yourself."

"Peeta fifty-" he stops. "Uh, never mind, you two have a ten minuet break." I nod.

"Stay here." She whispers. She kisses my forehead before standing with her hands on my knees. She takes the leg into the bathroom to wash it off, then comes out with a damp towel. "Here, let me clean it, we'll have to go get medicine later." I nod and she starts cleaning it.

"This is do dumb. I hate my leg."

"I know Peeta, but it's better than being on crutches all the time." I nod and she finishes. "No more running today, I'll find some crutches later and I'll carry your leg I don't want any pressure on it. I'll go talk to Gale."

She runs up to him and points subtly to me and he sighs angrily. He holds his arms out asking a question. "Half of one of his legs is fake!" She yells. He says something I can't here then shakes his head turning around. He shrugs then walks away and Katniss comes back. "We're done for the day."
