Ok, so you want spoilers?  Here you are:

"It was the waste of a trip. She's not here," I tell him. Buttercup hisses again. "She's not here. You can hiss
all you like. You won't find Prim." At her name, he perks up. Raises his flattened ears. Begins to meow hopefully.
"Get out!" He dodges the pillow I throw at him. "Go away! There's nothing left for you here!" I start to shake,
furious with him. "She's not coming back! She's never ever coming back here again!" I grab another pillow and
get to my feet to improve my aim. Out of nowhere, the tears begin to pour down my cheeks. "She's dead."

That what I need to survive is not Gale's fire, kindled with
rage and hatred. I have plenty of fire myself. What I need is the dandelion in the spring. The bright yellow that
means rebirth instead of destruction. The promise that life can go on, no matter how bad our losses. That it can
be good again. And only Peeta can give me that.
So after, when he whispers, "You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real."

They play in the Meadow. The dancing girl with the dark hair and blue eyes. The boy with blond curls and
gray eyes, struggling to keep up with her on his chubby toddler legs. It took five, ten, fifteen years for me to
agree. But Peeta wanted them so badly. When I first felt her stirring inside of me, I was consumed with a terror
that felt as old as life itself. Only the joy of holding her in my arms could tame it. Carrying him was a little easier,
but not much.
The questions are just beginning. The arenas have been completely destroyed, the memorials built, there
are no more Hunger Games. But they teach about them at school, and the girl knows we played a role in them.
The boy will know in a few years. How can I tell them about that world without frightening them to death? My
children, who take the words of the song for granted:
Deep in the meadow, under the willow
A bed of grass, a soft green pillow
Lay down your head, and close your sleepy eyes
And when again they open, the sun will rise.
Here it's safe, here it's warm
Here the daisies guard you from every harm
Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true
Here is the place where I love you.
My children, who don't know they play on a graveyard.
Peeta says it will be okay. We have each other. And the book. We can make them understand in a way that
will make them braver. But one day I'll have to explain about my nightmares. Why they came. Why they won't ever
really go away.
I'll tell them how I survive it. I'll tell them that on bad mornings, it feels impossible to take pleasure in anything
because I'm afraid it could be taken away. That's when I make a list in my head of every act of goodness I've
seen someone do. It's like a game. Repetitive. Evena little tedious after more than twenty years.
But there are much worse games to play.

I like to think that it is a happy ending, but It's not....  She still feels regrets and she still remembers.  Although  i was happy she was in love with peeta, rather than gale.  Even i'm not as cold hearted as gale.  Plz post ur opinion on the storyif u read it.  (sorry 'bout the spoilers)

Oh yeah, i found this for you hunger games fan's!!!
