Hi! I want to thank amo-scribere for reviewing! It really gives some motivation, and I'm glad you liked it! And in other news, My guinea pig gave birth. Onto the story!

My Prep Team

As we get off the train, I am relieved that there are no more 'Mainlanders'(ARRRGH) , as I've decided to call the people from the Capitol. Meil is right beside me, almost as white as a ghost. What scared her? I wonder. It's probably the Mainlanders. I let out a short laugh. The Mainlanders are almost as scary as River. I don't plan on telling him that though. Anyway, we head towards a big building that is green and blue in color, and looks like the tallest building in the world to me. As we approach, Meil lifts up her head up to the building.
"Woah." She says, obviously overwhelmed by the size of the place. I nod my head.
"Oh this," River says. I forgot he is there. "Is the place where all the tributes get they're make-overs!" He claps his hands and jumps up and down a couple of times, sort of like a young school girl. Yup, really. "Hey, Riv, why do we need a makeover anyway?" I inquire, trying to hide my laughter at his movements. River seems to look horrified as I say this, as if this is the most important thing in the entire world and I could not have not known about it.
"So you look prettier than you are now!" He exclaims. He suddenly turns red. "Not that you guys aren't already!"
Face palm.
Meil just giggles and walks toward the building. River follows, seeming very excited. I trail the back, preparing for the worst.

The actual preparation isn't all bad, but my team is INSUFFERABLE. The leader, Kate, has this weird knack for bright pink and dark brown, which makes me look, well, like a mainlander. I ask if they have any purple shirts and baggy pants, but no. Course not. Then they show me my suit for the parade. My heart sinks as low as Titanic. It's a suit, with a color pattern of white and black spots, based off of a cow. Even though my District's main source of income is livestock, I really think its stupid. I can't imagine Meil in this thing. The though of it makes me laugh, so when I do end up laughing, Kate looks at me like I've got a few screws loose. Can't blame her. As we approach the end of the make-up part of today, Kate gives me a tip of advice. "Don't seem too optimistic, nor too pessimistic." She says, giving me a creepy smile. "In about 3 hours, you will be driven on a chariot down towards the Capitol town square. You are free until then. Bye now!" She waves maniacally. As I wonder what to do with myself for three hours, I see Meil and River walking towards the Train. Meil is wearing the same thing as me, which makes her look absurd. I follow them into the train, and see them talking.
"Do you think I can win?" I hear Meil say.
"Its entirely possible," River replies in turn.
"What about Sam? Does he have a chance?" Meil says. I lean in closer, wanting to hear the next words.
"If he does well in training, he'll be a major target for any Careers." River lets out. I clench my fists. I walk outside of the train, thinking about his words. I knew my strategy now. I would do badly in training to put the others off me, then I would kill them. This seems like a plan. I'll tell Meil at the Ceremonies.

Thanks for reading, a lot more updates to come! Snapdragon17 will write the next chapter. G'day, and G'Night!.
