Hey, I was listening to some songs on the radio yesterday and I thought about how some of them worked so well with the Hunger Games story. So that got me thinking, what if they were to sing these songs? Or even better, put on a musical about it. Cinna is still alive and Effie is in 13 with them. I just couldn't do this musical without them.

Disclaimer- I do not The Hunger Games or the ipod.

Chapter 1

Katniss Everdeen sat in the District 13 headquarters at a long round table with people sitting around it. Some she recognized, like her best friend Gale, her sister Primrose, Finnick, Johanna, and Haymitch. She even saw Peeta on the other side of the table with two guards not too far behind him. It's been a month sense he was rescued from the Capitol. He still isn't completely stable, but he doesn't try to murder Katniss whenever he sees her, so he's been getting better. However, there were some people who she had seen around 13, but never really talked to.

"Why are we here?" asked Gale. Just then the doors swung open and in walked Plurtarch Heavensbae.

"Hello everybody!" he said. "I have wonderful news about a new propo. Well, actually, it's not a propo, it's a play."

"What?" everybody exclaimed.

"Oh, sorry. I mean musical."

"What!" everyone said even louder.

"There is no way I'm doing this," said Johanna.

"For once, I agree with Johanna," Katniss added. "Why on Panem we be even do a musical in the first place?"

"Think about it," said Plurtarch, "If we can show the Capitol that while they're struggling to keep their citizens happy, we can afford to make a musical people might side with our cause. Plus this wouldn't be just any musical. It's an original story that is basically the past two years with added songs. The people only know what the Capitol saw. And we're going to show them what really happened. Plus, the main character will be none other than the Mockingjay herself."

"What makes you think we would want to do this Plurtarch?" asked Gale.

"Well, what if I told you everyone who participates will get moved up a rank plus extra rations for the next month." Everyone began to give reluctant nods.

"What kind of music will we be singing?" asked Prim.

"Ya," said Johanna. "There is no way I'm singing any of that Capitol crap." Effie gave a gasp.

"That music is amazing Johanna!"

"No worries. We will be using songs from this." said Plurtarch. He took out a small thin metal box.

"What is it?" asked Annie.

"I know what it is!" exclaimed Beetee. "It's an ancient piece of technology called an iPod. It's like a music chip, except larger." Plurtarch nodded.

"Yes, and this is the device that all of out songs will come from. You can all pick the songs that you feel will best fit for what is going on. All of you will be playing yourselves plus a few other characters. They can't be here with us because they are, well... dead". Katniss realized that because the last two years were her two Games, some people would have to play the other tributes. "So, let me introduce Jackson, Holmes, Mitchel, Leeg 1, and Leeg 2." They looked at the five people they didn't know. "They will be joining our wonderful cast. Cinna will design costumes and Cressida will be my assistant director. Other then that, most of you will play yourselves."

"Wait," interrupted Peeta, "why can't someone else play Peeta?" Katniss understood what he meant by this. If they really were acting out what really happened, that would mean the two of them would have to kiss. Even though Peeta's gotten better, he still wasn't his normal self.

"I'm sorry Peeta. President Coin said that if we were doing this show, you and Katniss both had to play yourselves.

"That's why Coin is doing this. It's all a part of her sick plan to kill me." thought Katniss.

"Well, tomorrow the full cast list will be posted. Rehearsals start the next day. Our show will be in a month and, Peeta, I want you ready to kiss Katniss when the time comes." With that, Plurtarch left the room leaving them all in shock.

The thought of having to relive Rue's death with her little sister was too much for Katniss. Prim however ran up to her and said, "Yay! Katniss and I get to be allies!" Everyone else was fairly pleased with their rolls. Except for Peeta and Boggs. Peeta was still was against playing himself and Boggs didn't want to play the very man they were rebelling against. "Now," said Plurtarch, "who's ready to make a musical?"
