"We can't turn back... it's too risky" Haymitch sits in his chair with his face in his hands, watching as his baby sister stays in space, on her way to Mars

"Evelyn... it's not good for you to be there in that condition" he warns but she gives him a small smile

"Big brother, it's all going to be okay. Everything will turn out just fine. I love you" she blows him a kiss which he pretends to catch and press to his lips

"I love you, stay safe baby sister" the call ends and Haymitch can't help but feel dread, he won't be able to know his niece or nephew, a baby who will have to live their life on Mars.

6 Months Later

"Come on Evelyn! Push!" Evelyn screams as she tries her hardest, it's much harder to do without the love of her life beside her but she's determined to get this baby out so that he can live. After more pushing and screaming, little baby cries are heard and the baby is set on his mothers chest

"My beautiful boy... I'm so happy"

16 Years Later (Peeta)

"Look at you, Mr Writer" Hazelle says, from the doorway of his bedroom, Hazelle, the only mother figure Peeta has since his mother died a couple of seconds after his birth

"I'm just updating. Have you got the thing I asked?" He asks her, she grins and gives him the small rectangular case

"It's the only movie I could find. Last researcher left it here, forgot it" she explains and he smiles, quickly putting it in a player

"Wow..." he says as the people come on the screen, different colours everywhere

"Will I ever get to go there?" He asks, looking at Hazelle

"Listen, I know that it's probably boring here for you. I... you won't be suitable to be there, Peeta" she explains rubbing his back

"But why won't I?" He pushes

"It's not easy to explain" she admits

"But I want to know why. I'm not a little child anymore" he replies, she sighs

"Your body works differently than mine would. The gravitation in Earth and the atmosphere alone can be a danger to you. I don't want that" she explains

"Can I be alone? I just... want to think" he says, she nods and kisses his forehead before leaving, when she does a little 'ding' sound is heard through the room, Peeta sits on his chair at his computer and smiles seeing her face, the message that she sent

K: So, I got adopted... I'm now Katniss Raven Everdeen

P: I told you. The family would've been crazy to not adopt you

K: Yeah, their daughter, Primrose, died a few years back. She wandered too far into the woods and got lost and wasn't found until months later. It was so sad, that kind of stuff usually doesn't make me cry like a baby but I almost did. I promise, I'm not like that though :)

P: Wow. That's really intense. I wish I could be there with you and tell you how happy I am for you

K: Riiiiight. You have a "disease"

P: It's true! It's called WISD, haven't heard about a cure but I hope to

K: WISD?

P: Weak Immune System Disorder. WISD, I'm not allowed outside. Not yet, at least

K: That's too bad. I've got to go, we'll talk tomorrow

He closes the chat with a sigh then pushes his chair to the other desk that's in his room, he types on the computer and grins as he easily gets into the system, he goes through his mom's files and sees an email
