This is a story that inputs my characters. The characters are Ivy, Aiden, Emely, Talon, Ray, Zeke, Poison, Calysta, and Storm. Don't be mad at me. I have tried to preserve the original feel of Suzanne Collins's books. I do not own them or claim any rights to them. But please enjoy!

Ivy was admitted to see Katniss. She entered, and asked Katniss, "What would you give for someone to take your place?"

Katniss immediately answered, "That would never happen now. But I would give a lot of things."

"You can walk out of here and I'll take your place. I can erase any memory of your being chosen for the Hunger Games. Only you will remember, if you choose to."

"And how is that going to happen?"

"Magic."

"Yeah, right, and I'm Effie Trinket."

"If you don't believe me, then look."

Ivy glanced at a potted plant, and held out her hand towards it. Swirls of green magic came from her fingertips and curled around the plant. It grew until it was a large bush. Katniss pursed her lips and touched it. The plant was real. She turned around to Ivy, "I'll really walk free? No one will remember what happened? Not even Prim and my mother?"

"No one but you and the other tributes whom my friends and I are replacing. And only if you choose to do so."

"Is Peeta being replaced?"

"Yes. A friend is talking to him right now."

"So I can walk out right now?"

"Yes. Go, your ten minutes are up. Peeta will not remember. He has chosen not to. Do not talk about this to anyone. Even Gale. He will assume you have been touched in the head."

"Yes. Bye." Katniss walked out, and she looked at Peeta, and smiled.

Ivy turned towards a window, and asked, "Is everyone situated?" Replies flowed into her mind, only one did not go as planned. Emely was having a hard time replacing Clove. Ivy mused, "If you erased her mind of this, the she might go mad. But please go ahead and do it. We have no choice. "

Emely and Talon had managed to replace Cato and Clove. Ivy smiled a close-lipped smile, "The plan is working. Ray, you are supposed to be the weakling, though. Zeke, be over-protective. I don't know if that will be a problem or not. But good luck to all."

The Peace-Keepers walked in and escorted Ivy to the train. She remained emotionless. Her green frock swirled in the slight breeze, and her long hair waved slightly. Aiden's solemn yet unmoving face mirrored hers. They boarded the train and faced Effie Trinket and Haymitch. Ivy took a big breath. Effie was very bubbly and happy about how this year things might go well for District 12.

Ivy stood at about 5'7, and she was thin but curvy, with toned muscles and tanned skin with a few scars. Her face was pleasing, with dark green eyes that were bright and alive. Aiden had broad shoulders and well-muscled arms. His Slate blue eyes provided a striking contrast to his pale features and sandy-blonde hair. His face seemed to be carved out of wood. Ivy smiled a big, open smile that lit up her face, "I hope so. This is a very beautiful train. Do you know much about it?"

Effie looked pleased to be asked, "This is the quickest and most efficient train ever built. It will only take us two days to reach the capital, but the best part is that you can't even tell that we are moving. You each have your own private train car, and there is one main dining car where we will meet."

Effie showed them their rooms, and moved faster than all of them even though she was wearing five-inch stiletto heels. Ivy took a shower and pulled her dress back on before going to the dining car. A sumptuous feast had been set out for them, with hearty, rich beef stew and fluffy, white rolls. Ivy and Aiden ate at a moderate pace. Trying to look hungry while still being polite. Effie beamed, saying, "Both of you have such wonderful manners. Why, the last tributes we had ate like pigs. No manners at all." Haymitch had been drinking, and he slurred, "So they're good a'eatin'. They're sure t' win." Effie's brow wrinkled infitesimally as she watched him down another bottle of liquor. After they had had a dessert of chocolate mousse, Ivy and Aiden went to bed quietly. When everyone had gone to sleep, Ivy crept into Aiden's room. They talked over for a while what to do now. Ivy decided that none of their family should be mentioned, and if it came up, the they were both orphans.

Aiden cut in, "So how will we act towards each other? Lovers, haters, friends, I don't know you, or what?"

Ivy replied, "What would you like?"

Adien shrugged, "Lovers works. (this is to keep more with the original Hunger games.)

Ivy nodded. She laid her head on his chest, and stared into the distance, pondering. Aiden thoughtfully stroked her hair, playing with it. Ivy got up after a while, and disappeared back to her own room. She woke up and stepped into the shower, and pressed a dozen odd buttons, and stood there soulfully. SHe got out and dried off, dressing in a brown tunic and green leggings before going to breakfast. It was bacon and eggs benedict with orange juice. Ivy wolfed down her breakfast and went to the room with all of the tapes about the past Hunger Games and watched the modified reaping. She watched as all her friends were "called" to be tributes. And she smiled. The plan was working.

So this was my first posting/ first Fanfic story. Go easy. I'll try to fill you in on tidbits of info about my characters. But here is the First: Ivy has three sisters, they are Calysta, Poison, and Storm. They are two sets of twins. Poison and Ivy, and Calysta and Storm.
