****POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT****

I think that this will happen:
Ok, expedition, blablabla, massive rebellion, blablabla, ok. So, Gale and Katniss are running through this big Capitol building looking for Peeta and/or President Snow. The building is being destroyed, by the rebels who don't know that Gale and Katniss are in there. So, they find a raggedy President Snow on the top floor. The side of the building explodes. President Snow comes out with a small pistol, tells Gale and Katniss life story and/or evil plan and/or what he thinks of them. Then he points his gun at them and fires at them, and out pops Peeta who takes the bullet and falls to the ground. Then President Snow explodes/dies somehow. Then Katniss bends over and looks at the dieing Peeta, and he says something that will be a famous quote. Something like "Go with Gale, live your life, and do what you always want to do" or something like what Leonardo DiCaprio said in Titanic. Or maybe he says, "Earn this" like what Tom Hanks says in Saving Private Ryan. And then Katniss cries, and Gale take her away from the exploding building. The rebels celebrate the overthrowing of the Capitol, and they name the country Peeta, or Mellark, or Katniss, or Everdeen, or Mockingjay or something like that. Then it skips to the Epilogue and you find out that Katniss and Gale got married, did many exciting things in their life, had a few kids, and all that stuff.
Anyway, what do you guys think?

TSE - I pretty much agree with that [with some epic Peeta-torture-scenes thrown in at the beginning]. However, I think that at the end, Katniss and Gale will get married, but Katniss by this point has realized she truly loved Peeta, and she will never be truly happy for the rest of her life. :]

Optimism ftw.

[Eagle]

Yeah, probably there will be Peeta torture scenes. But I kind of want her to move on and love whoever lives. I don't care about what happens much, but I want to know. And of course, I just want it to end good.

So yes, optimisim ftw.

My prediction:

She's running from Capitol soldiers. All that she loves is dead. The soldiers are a-firin' their guns, and she's tripping over everything. Finally, she falls, and she doesn't get back up. Just as a bullet pierces her skull, she wakes up.

Pretty weird, amirite?

[phunke]

I WILL STAB SOMEONE IF THAT HAPPENS.

I hatehatehate "and it was allll a dream!" endings. ><

[Eagle]

Oh man that would so stink if it was a dream, and if the dream ended that way. Dorothy didn't get killed in the Wizard of Oz, neither should Katniss. I actually wouldn't mind too much if the dream ended cool like in the Wizard of Oz, instead of Katniss and everyone she loved dieing.

[Jasik]

Suzanne Collins knows that if she did that kind of ending, she'd have brokenhearted fans egging her house for all of eternity.

[Prince Inigo]

I honestly wouldn't mind Katniss dying or being lonely. She is such a *****, though a reasonable one.

You don't smooch him, then smooch that guy, smooch back other guy, smooch other OTHER guy and don't expect SOME repercussion, do ya? The way I viewed it. I know that's not what really happened, but I can exaggerate and so can everyone else here.

I can see my characters doing what she did, but I expect them to get in heaps of trouble for that. A punishment, let's say. They get their desserts.

To Peeta dying and saying famous line, it's a bit cliche. So would Gale doing the same. I can honestly say I wouldn't want either dead not for a happy ending but because it's hopefully not too cliche. Perhaps the other guy can salvage his own happy ending elsewhere. Just what I think. Work for it and don't die for it, man.

Wow, I would hate it if it was all a dream or it turns out everyone is already dead and Panem is actually hell and President Snow is Satan blah blah blah.

Like the LOST ending. I hated that so much. That series had such potential it could have had a way better ending then that.

Some major person is going to die, probably Katniss' mom and Haymitch and Cinna or something. But I do hope there is some big twist at the end, but not something spiritual or anything.

[Stare]

My opinion?
Peeta will be tortured on film and the film will be sent to the rebels. Haymitch tries to keep it from Katniss and fails, Katniss goes to try to save Peeta, Gale follows her without her knowing. Somewhere in the story, Prim gets kidnapped, and after Katniss helps Peeta escape, they rescue Prim, during which Peeta gets killed. Then, the rebels are about to win and kill everyone in the Capitol when Katniss remembers how silly, innocent, and completely oblivious her stylists were. Then Katniss shouts "Stop!" and they spare the Capitol and work together to build a greater, better place in peace.
I believe this will happen because in the end of the Gregor series, Gregor has to make peace between to conflicting sides. Very similar situation, same author, same outcome.
*grins*
But ya know, that's just a wild guess...
