District One: Tony/Pepper
After the prep Team was done the stylist comes in who immediately starts going on and on about mine and Sugars costume design but i wasn't really paying much attention anyway because district one always ends up looking the best anyways, and because of that, end up with the most sponsors.
Just as long as our costumes end up better than the other tributes, i couldn't care less what it looked like.
A few hours later we're dressed in our costumes, we're spray-painted silver, in tasteful tunics glittering with jewels everywhere. "Okay you guys... get ready." Our stylist Stella gestures us towards our chariot wanting us to get on.
"I was born ready." I mutter to myself hopping into the left side of the chariot while Sugar climbs in on the right.
"What's wrong?" I ask Sugar when i notice her right hand gripping the side of the chariot as if her life depended on it if she were to let go. "Just nervous." She breathed looking forward to the four snow-white horses in the front of the chariot.
"You shouldn't be." I assured her. "You look great, their gonna love you." I finished before looking up at the gigantic doors in front of us that will be opening pretty soon.
"Thanks." She whispered looking over in my general direction but i kept my gaze to the front. "You look good too." She said. I let out a light chuckle before letting telling her that. "I know."
I heard her scoff and take in a breath like she was about to tell me something but got drowned out when the opening music began and the big heavy door creaked open.
Soon enough the horses started pulling the chariot and we were soon relieved to the people of the capital as they watched us approaching. For about a second i was starting to get nervous until i heard a Smile and wave... They will love you.
It was the last thing i heard Stella tell us before the horses left. A smile spread across my face in an instant as i started waving the the capital citizens in the audience.
I looked over to Sugar and saw she was just standing their hopelessly scared out of her mind. "Smile Sugar." I reminded her quietly not taking my eyes off the people of the capital. "It's Pepper." I heard her correct me in a harsh tone as she turned to glare at me.
"What?" I practically screamed turning to see her wondering if she was kidding or not, she wasn't. "Since when?" I questioned which made her look even more angry with me, i smiled at her innocently trying to get her to calm down.
She was about to say something, probably nothing good by the looks of her face but was drowned out by the sound of the audiences applauding and screaming getting way louder.
I looked back but only saw the District Two Tributes also looking back as curious as i am. I heard someone screaming something about District Twelve which got me even more curious... What can be so fascinating about District Twelve? Finally i get my answer when i look up at one of the giant screens, it was showing the tributes from District Twelve.
The boy was a dirty Blond and the girl had dark red hair, it was pretty easy to admit that they did look good in their costumes, they were pitch black like coal and on fire.
Part of me wished their would be a mishap and they caught on fire too, but the other part felt sorry for them and was happy that everyone favored them the most instead of my district like they usually do.
I looked back over to Paprika, barley noticing how silent she was, she was still staring at one of the screens staring at District Twelve in complete amazement. Soon we enter the City Circle and the twelve chariots fill the loop of the City Circle, The Chariots pull up right to President Dooms mansion and stops.
The music ends right at the President, a tall slim man with a green hoody and some metallic face mask. He gives us the traditional welcome speech before were led to the Training Center.
The minuet we arrive were approached by the prep teams who are telling us how much of a good job we did... Well i did. Once Stella is finished talking to me and Paprika i look up right as the doors close just as District Twelve arrives, good thing their flames are out.
The boy finally takes notice in my starring, letting the girl no I've been watching them. But right before the girl can look over to my i try to turn my attention to something else only to find out that I wasn't the only one starring at them.
I look over at the other tributes and see everyone watching them, some in amazement, some in fear, and some in hatred.
Sorry the chapter is short i didn't know what i wanted to do next, anyways...Review please!:)
