When Glimmer volunteered as District 1 tribute she didn't expect to fall in love, especially not with a tribute from another district.

It was a particularly interesting day, considering the fact that Glimmer had just volunteered as District 1 tribute. The next name they drew from the bowl of names was a boy named Marvel. He wasn't particularly handsome, but she thought that he would be the best looking male tribute there was. She was completely wrong.

She walked onto the train and plopped herself into a chair. She looked around for her mentor, Cashmere, she was standing in the corner and then walked forward, and sat in the chair in font of Glimmer. "Are you ready to begin training at the Capitol?" Cashmere asked. "Only if you are," Glimmer replied as she let out a little snicker.

They arrived at the Capitol soon, but it didn't seem soon enough. Glimmer and Marvel made small talk, but it was nothing to write home about, she didn't really see him as a riveting person, he just kept on talking, and soon enough she zoned out. She started thinking about what the Games were going to be like this year, as a girl she had always liked watching the Games on television.

"So what do you think?" Marvel asked her.

"Think about what?"

"What do you think the other tributes are going to be like, it's like you didn't even hear a word I said."

"Yeah, I really didn't, I don't know maybe the males strong and all, but the females the same, just not as," she replied, hoping her answer would satisfy him enough to make him shut up already.

"Look, I know you don't really like me, or really want to talk at all, but we are in the Games together, so we should try to win, shouldn't we?"

"Well, I guess," She replied, she couldn't stand this anymore he was trying to help the matter, but talking didn't help one bit. Only one of them would live in the end. Marvel was excited to start training and make some allies.

They arrived and their stylists started working their magic. Glimmer was both intrigued for the tribute parade and ready to get it over with.
