Edit 3/2/19: I may be addicted to writing this story.
Some quick notes I probably should have added to the end of last chapter:
Most of the character arcs are a little out of order. For instance, many of the commoner knights are included in District 2, although Uther is still alive and prevalent. Likewise, in District 10, Leifer is already dead, but most of the characters are around their mid-Goose Girl arc. I might write out in the end notes of next chapter about where everyone is as far as character arcs, whose dead, who knows who, etc...
District 9 is pretty much all the Disney movies smashed together. They all know each other, but not well - Moana and Flynn/Eugene aren't very familiar with each other.
Also, every character in The Librarians seems to call all the other characters something different. For instance, Jacob/Stone and Eve/Col Baird usually use last names, and I think Ezekiel does too, but Flynn and Cassandra usually use first names and Jenkins uses professional names (Mr. Carson, Col Baird, Ms. Cillian, etc..). This made choosing a name hard for the District 6 scene in this chapter (and I had similar struggles with "The Protector" and "Boredom").
Anyways, enjoy!

Chapter 2
Goodbyes, Lectures, and Advice
Miri jumped into her father's embrace the second he was through the door.
"Oh, Miri," Marda cried, entering the room behind her father. "I can't believe you were reaped - and the first year I couldn't take your place as well."
"I wouldn't want you to," Miri replied. "You can take care of each other with me gone much better than I could without you. Besides, I'll be back."
"Promise?" Her father asked.
Miri nodded. "I promise. Just take care of my goats while I'm gone?"
Marda nodded. "Everything will be perfect for you when you get back."
"You shouldn't have volunteered for me," Pythagoras said, sitting down next to Jason.
"You're the closest thing I have to a brother," Jason replied. "I couldn't let you die."
"Have you even ever picked up a weapon before?" Pythagoras asked.
"No," Jason replied. "But they'll train us, right? And I have Hercules to help me."
"Hercules might not be as much help as he says he is," Pythagoras pointed out.
"He won, didn't he?" Jason asked. "That must be worth something. And he won't let me die."
"Just be careful," Pythagoras said. "You're the closest thing I have to a brother, as well."
"Isi!" Enna scolded.
"What, did you expect me to just let my best friend be reaped?" Isi asked.
"Yes!" Enna replied. "You can't go in the games, you're all I have left. I lost Leifer last year, and now you and Finn – I just can't lose you!'
"And I can't lose you," Isi stated. "You're all I have left. You've done so much for me, let me do this for you."
"And if you die? Or Finn?" Enna's eyes widened. "Both of you can't come back, but I can't lose either of you."
"You'll manage," Isi said. "And I promise that one of us will come back."
"I'm a thief," Eugene said. "I'm experienced with staying out of people's way."
"The last time you tried to steal something I had to save your neck," Rapunzel argued. "Twice."
"I won't make that mistake again," Eugene stated. He put his hands on Rapunzel's arms. "Don't worry, I have a plan."
"Yeah, that's reassuring," Rapunzel muttered under her breath. "Just be careful, Eugene, okay?"
"When am I not?" Eugene asked.
"All the time!"
David sighed and watched the door. He didn't have anyone to say goodbye to – he hadn't for a long time.
And even if he did, the goodbye wouldn't be permanent.
"What am I supposed to do?" Sadie asked, sitting down and putting her head in her hands. "I can't lose Carter, but if I die then he'll resurrect me and kill me again!"
Walt sat down next to her. "You're Sadie Kane. What do you usually do when people mess with your family?"
Sadie looked up at him. "Make them regret the day they ever messed with my family."
"Listen up, Jones," Stone said. "You can win this, understand? You have probably one of the best mentors out of any one in the games, if you play it smart, you can win."
"Don't worry, I'm planning on it," Ezekiel replied.
Jacob Stone wasn't Ezekiel's favorite person in the world, but he was still the one person Ezekiel had wanted to see – mostly for his advice.
"You're a thief, right?" Stone continued. "Stay out of the way of the other tributes. Except Cassandra – she's smarter than any of the other tributes. You'll want her by your side."
"I already know that," Ezekiel replied. "There's no one in this district more aware of Cassandra's brilliance than me – except maybe you."
"And listen to what Baird says," Jacob finished. "Don't go diddly-daddling off somewhere. What she says will save your life in the arena."
"I know," Ezekiel said. "I do take things seriously sometimes, you know."
"My two best mates in the games..." Ron muttered, sitting down. "At least one of you will come back, right?"
"Of course," Harry lied, sitting next to him. "Back before you know it."
"You don't sound convinced," Ron noted.
"I'm not," Harry admitted. "Honestly? I'm scared out of my mind. But I have Hermione on my side, right? And I'm on hers. One of us will come back. I just need to convince myself of that."
"Really? Over one stupid remark?" Reyna asked.
"It's not like you wouldn't do the same," Annabeth commented.
Reyna sighed and leaned against the wall. "Well, I'd give you advice, but I think you know it already."
"Don't die?" Annabeth suggested.
"And try some of the chocolate," Reyna added. "Hylla said it's really good."
"No one to say goodbye to?" The younger of the two victors, Steve, asked, looking into her room.
Wanda shook her head. "I only had Pietro."
Steve's face softened. "I'm sorry about what happened to him."
"Don't be," Wanda replied. "It just means that I have to win now. For him."
"Arthur!" Gwen scolded, crossing her arms.
"I'm the mayor's son," Arthur told her, automatically going through the speech he had been writing in his head. "I should-"
"Where have I heard this speech before?" Merlin wondered from behind Gwen.
"Shut up, Merlin," Arthur grumbled.
"Merlin's right," Gwen said. "You should be staying here, with us! With me. No prepared speech is going to change that."
"I will be here with you again," Arthur said. "I promise. And you know I will do anything to keep my word."
"You better," Gwen replied. "You better not die, Arthur, or I swear…"
With a sigh, Tris resigned herself to another of Caleb's lectures.
"Are you really so selfish to enter the games over one insult? Do you know what you're doing to our parents? And against Peter of all people?"
"I wanted to be in the games anyways," Tris replied. "That's why I started training."
"And do you really think you can win, Beatrice?" Caleb asked.
"I have top marks in my class," Tris reminded him. "And it's Tris now, not Beatrice."
She had shortened her name the first day at training after impressing her mentors.
Well, impressing Ten. She wasn't ever going to impress Eric.
"Top marks won't mean as much as you think," Caleb said.
"Don't underestimate me."
