The Hunger Games Cartoon version!

by EmmaKoeni

Nearly 59 Years ago, there was a big war known as "The Dark Days of Cartoons". All 11 channels ended up surrendering, only 10 of them surviving to the present day. To show how the remaining channels were at their mercy, the 'Aerial', the main television broadcasters, annually hosted what is known as 'The Hunger Games'... full summary inside! T for character death!

2. Chpt2: District 1 Reaping

District 1: Nickelodeon

District 1 was stirring after a night which was sleepless for some. Today was the day of the reaping, where every year, 1 boy and 1 girl were sent into an arena at the mercy of the 'Aerial' to fight to the death in what is known as 'The Hunger Games'. Luckily for District 1, they were one of the richest along with the Districts 2, 3 & 4, making them more healthy and in some cases better trained than the later districts. There was only an hour to get ready before the reaping - which was at 9.

An hour quickly passed, and before anyone could blink, everyone was either in the square or the surrounding streets. They each had 1 slip with their name in the reaping balls, hoping that they'd be saved for another year. The reaping started at 9 sharp, any latecomers being punished. The mayor took to the stage. As had been the tradition for the past 59 years, he started off by explaining to them why the Hunger Games took place - "The Dark Days of Cartoons". It was followed by a clip of propaganda showing them how big, powerful and rich the Aerial was. Then, their representative from the Aerial, a plump lady by the name of Abina Plunkel took the stage. "Well, the time has come to select a courageous boy and a brave little girl to take the honor of representing District 1 in the 59th annual Hunger Games." she started with a smile. "As usual, ladies go first." she then walked to her right, where a big glass ball with many slips of paper was stationary. Her hand went into a hole, where she moved the papers around a tiny bit before picking one out. "Our girl tribute is... Tigress! (Kung Fu Panda)" She announced. Tigress didn't stutter one bit - she leaped right to the stage, feeling as if it was an honor to be a tribute. "And now... for the boys!" Abina announced, this time going over to the left, and repeating the movements with the paper, once again picking one. "And the boy tribute is... Mr Krabs!" Everyone was shocked. Like Tigress, he didn't stutter, making his way to the stage. "WAIT!" someone shouted. "I VOLUNTEER! I VOLUNTEER AS TRIBUTE!" And instead of Mr Krabs, they made their way to the stage. "What's your name, young boy?" Abina asked. "My name's Spongebob!" Spongebob announced, oblivious to the danger he had just put himself in. "HAHAHAHAHAHA" another voice exclaimed. It was Squidward. No one took any notice, instead going straight on with the ceremony. "Well, you two, shake hands!" Abina stepped back, allowing Tigress and Spongebob to shake hands in an awkward manner. "THESE ARE THE TRIBUTES FOR DISTRICT 1, LET'S GIVE THEM A ROUND OF APPLAUSE!" Abina exclaimed before leaving the stage entirely...
