DISCLAIMER- I IN NO WAY OWE THE HUNGER GAMES OR ITS CHARACTERS.
Chapter One
As far as Effie Trinket was concerned, you weren't a grown up until you watched your first games. At nine years old Effie thought she was more than capable to watch The Hunger Games, so when she asked her Mother if she could she was rather taken back when she said no.
"But Mother this is the fiftieth Hunger Games I will be the only one in my class that will not be allowed to watch it!" Effie exclaimed.
"Yes, Euphemia I see your point but your Father said no and that is final." Cerasis Trinket replied.
Effie always got on better with her mother, her Father was all about upholding the Trinket name in society and how important it was to befriend the right people in society. Nine year old Effie Trinket did not care about any of that, all she cared about was how she was going to convince her Father to watch the Games.
"But Mother it isn't fair Flos gets to watch them so why can't I?" Flos Trinket was Effie's twelve –year-old sister and was always her Fathers favourite daughter. "It's the fiftieth Games this year; there is no way I will be able to not watch it"
At that Cerasis Trinket told her daughter that she will ask her husband when he came home from work, because as Effie pointed out this is the Fiftieth Hunger Games, second Quarter Quell, double the tributes; it would be broadcasted around the Capitol twenty-four-seven. There would be no way Effie – or anyone for that matter- would not be able to see the Games.
Phillias Trinket was a stern man. When he learnt his youngest daughter wanted to watch The Hunger Games he was an annoyed man. "Cerasis she is nine years old," he told his wife, "She is too young to be watching this entertainment"
"Phillias, please, Flos was nine when she watched her first games that wasn't a problem so why can't Effie watch them? She said herself that this year there will be extra coverage for the Games" Cerasis replied.
After lots of begging from both Effie and Cerasis, Effie Trinket was allowed to watch her very first Hunger Games.

The reaping began at 11am the next morning. Effie had always wondered what it is like in the Districts yet whenever she asks she is never given a straight answer, she would love to be able to go to the seaside in District Four or trek around the trees in District Seven. As the four District Two tributes are being reaped Effie thinks how much she would love to be and Escort one day, her best friends cousin had just been appointed to District Nine, all of the Escorts were so pretty and famous – her line of thought was interrupted by Flos Trinket saying how she declared a girl tribute from District Two her favourite. Effie sat and watched whilst she was trying to figure out who her favourite was the second boy from Six looked promising, so did a girl from Eight, but it wasn't until District Twelve came around that Effie knew who she was rooting for. "Haymitch Abernathy!" called out Twelve's Escort and Effie knew right there and then Haymitch would win.
