Hi! this is the 3rd chapter of my story! its mostly about the tribute parade and stuff. I hope you like it! REVIEW!

Chapter 3

After gorging myself with food, Tinka comes in.

"We have to introduce you to your mentor!" She squeals. A pretty and very young looking woman comes in.

"Im your mentor, Honey and im here to help you guys in any way that I can." "What do we need mentors for?" I ask. "To help you survive of course!" She exclaims. "Ok lets talk shelter." She says. "Now each of you tell me how you would find shelter if you were stuck in the wilderness." She looks at me. "um.. well you could hoist some wood onto a rock ledge and put some pine needles under it?" I suggest. "Alright, what about you, Jackson?" "Well you could always just find a cave and sleep in it." He says. "Yes. Both of your suggestions are good. But also, if you really needed to, you could always climb a tree. You could rest in the branches and the leaves could hide you from pursuers." "That's a good idea." I say.

"Now ,lets talk skill. What are you good at?" "Well im good at camouflage, I can run really fast, and tracking but staying quiet." "Now what about you, Jackson?" "Well im good at camouflage, Im strong, I can climb." "Both of your skills are very good." "Now one last thing." Honey says. "Where would you get food?" "Well I know a lot of edible plants so I can collect." "Jackson?" "I can hunt." "Good guys. Now you go to your sleeping quarters now." "Ok." I get into some silk pajamas I found and slide down in bed.

I am woke by Tinka rapidly shaking me. "Wake up!" "Alright im up. What?" "We're at the capitol!" I get up and walk to the window. Wow! So this is the city they talk about!

"Wow!" I exclaim with Jackson right behind me. "Beautiful isn't it?" As we pull into the station I see a bunch more of those ridiculous looking Capitol people. They're reaching out like their trying to grab the train. Its like were celebrities!

We get off the train with Tinka stopping us for a couple of pictures. They we go inside this big building with 12 floors.

"Each district has their own floor." Tinka explains. "Since your District 8, you get the eighth floor." She leads us to the elevator and takes us up to the eighth floor.

"Welcome." She says. Wow. This is even better than my house back home! "Well make yourselves at home because later you have to get ready for the tribute parade." "Whats that?" I ask. "Oh we have to get in a nice costume and show you off to the world!" "Oh."

Later we go down into the styling room where they make you "pretty". After all the "Stripping of hair" My Prep Team of Ruby, Mint, and Diamond show my to my stylist, a nice and young looking man.

"Hi. I'm Kiwi, your stylist." He says. "Hi." "Come in here. I've got a nice outfit for you." I followed him into the room.

"Ok, I have to put you into a nice looking outfit and you will ride out in chariots to show off to the Capitol. And I believe I have just the dress."

He dresses me up in a big beautiful dress. "There. You look beautiful." He shows me what I look like. Im in a beautiful sparkly purple pink tie-dye dress that looks like im just wearing strings. I also noticed her put a ring on me with a flat top. Then Jackson comes in with a tuxedo with the same idea. He even has the same ring.

"You will notice you have matching rings. When I give you the signal, and you will see me in the crowd, hold up you hands and tap your rings together." "Whats going to happen?" "Wait and see." He says.

We get put in our chariots and start moving.

"What do you think the rings will do?" Jackson asked. "Hm. I don't know. Do you know what the 'survival thing' is?" I ask him. He shakes his head. "No." By this time, we're riding out so we look for Kiwi's signal. There!

"Jackson, Do the ring!" We hold our hands up and touch our rings together. I hear a shooting and look up. Fireworks shot up in the air. I realized they spelled something. It said, We are District 8. Don't underestimate us.

We look at each other with awed expressions then we smile. Kiwi has outdone himself. We see District 12 come out in coal mining outfits complete with the hat. Im glad I don't have to dress like that.

By this time, we're getting out of our chariots and My prep team and Kiwi and Tinka come to congratulate us.

"That was Amazing!" They exclaim. "Absolutely amazing!" "Kiwi, you have outdone yourself!" "That's what I do."

"Well its time we had dinner." Tinka says.

We go up to our apartment. We sit down at the table and look at the amount of food placed on the table. This place has everything! It's not fair!

"Go ahead. Eat anything!" Tinka exclaims and digs in herself. I take of piece of the fried chicken and Jackson takes the Turkey. Then Kiwi starts talking about tomorrow. "So tomorrow your going to go down for training." "Whats that?" Jackson asks. "Its where you go to train for survival skills. Didn't Honey talk about what skills you had?" We nod. "Okay then." "Well go and get into bed now." Tinka says. We excuse ourselves and walk into our rooms.
