One day,in the land of Toonem,Midnight Angel was going about her normal chores. She lived in district 4,the Throw district. This is where Toonem produced its Trap gags. Midnight knew that the Hunger Games were coming up,and she definitely didn't want to be reaped. She was scared. Midnight walked outside. She looked around. Same old buildings,same old electric barbed wire fence,same old pie shop. She then looked at the trap factory. Midnight was only 14,and she worked as a waitress in her mother's bakery. She had a friend,Poppy,who lived with her. "Poppy?" Midnight called. "Hmm?" Poppy asked,walking outside. "Are we gonna go out of the fence today?" she whispered."Hmm...I suppose..once we grab what we need." "Well,we should start packing up!" Midnight said,excited."But what about the Hunger Games?" Poppy reminded. "Oh,right..."Midnight sighed. Midnight and Poppy walked down the stone path towards the bakery. "I guess we should get to work if we want to earn enough money for an upgrade to the bakery.." Midnight said. All of a sudden, the loudspeakers blared."Attention all Toons!" It was Lady Powderpuff.(Effie Trinket)"The Reaping will be moved to tomorrow! Be ready!" she exclaimed. Midnight felt a pit of fear rise in her stomach. She knew that this wouldn't be good. They finally arrived at the bakery. "Mom,we're here!" Midnight cried out. "Oh! Midnight,Poppy? Do come in!" It was her mother,Ellie. "Ms. Ellie! Did you hear about the Reaping?!" Poppy exclaimed. Ellie sighed."Yes,I did Poppy..anyway,time to start your shift!" "Alright." Poppy and Midnight said simultaneously as Midnight stayed while Poppy went back into the kitchen to help bake the bread. Then,Midnight's friend Fireball walked into the kitchen. "Hey." said Fireball. Midnight jumped,then looked in his direction. "Oh,hey Fire. The usual,I suppose?" "Sure." He said. "Alright,I'll go tell Poppy." Midnight said as she quickly walked back to the kitchen. She came back a few minutes later with the cake he ordered as she handed it to him. "Here you go," she said in her normal voice and she walked back to go and serve some more customers.
THE NEXT DAY
Midnight and Poppy were wearing nicer clothes than usual,as today was the day of the Reaping. "Come on Midnight,Poppy," Ellie said,also dressed nicely. Midnight,Poppy,and Ellie walked to the square where the Reaping would be held. And there,on the stage,stood the over-the-top dressed Lady Powderpuff. "Hello everyone,and welcome to the Reaping of District 4." she said in a rather proper voice. "Today we are going to pick the tributes that will represent the Trap district in our 27th Hunger Games!" she exclaimed. Midnight and Poppy gulped. They were very nervous. "Well,without further ado,let us begin!" Powderpuff said as she reached into the jar with the male's names in it. "And the male tribute of District 4 is...Cool Fireball." she read loudly. Midnight was scared for her friend. 'Why him..' she thought. "And now,the female tribute," she said after a few minutes as she daintily walked over to the female jar. She picked up a piece of paper and unfolded it slowly. Midnight was so scared that she was shaking. "It'll be fine dear.." Ellie said, hugging her daughter. "And the female tribute of District 4 is...Midnight Angel." Midnight's mouth hung open. She was going to the Hunger Games. less
