A/N: So I know this one is really short I just couldn't think of what to write. Also I'm getting kind of depressed, no new tributes and no new reviews! You're killing me here people! Anyways I really wanted to update with another reaping because I'm so excited for the games and the capitol and so I want to be closer to them! Anyways in order to get to the capitol I have to have all my tributes and you know what that means…. SUBMIT! Only three spots left and we can get this show on the road! Anyways I like these tributes they had a nice back story maybe I'll add something to them later since it's so short but here are the District 6 tributes… Let me know what you think in a REVIEW! (Hinthint- you should write one!)

Blaise Emeralden POV

Today is my least favorite day, reaping day. The only good thing about it is that I don't have to work and neither does my little sister, Maddie.

"Blaise, Mom needs help!" Maddie shouts from downstairs where my mother is. Mom has been ill for a really long time now and I am stuck taking care of her because my Dad left us when I was still really little and I haven't seen him since. I walk down to the couch where my mom is lying down.

"Can you get me some water, Honey?" She asks kindly. She knows how hard this is for us which is why she is still fighting but to be honest I'm not sure how much longer she'll be around. The only good thing for her is that she doesn't have to go to the reapings. I go into our small kitchen and get some water for her and then bring it back into our very small sitting room that consists of a TV, mandatory by law to watch the hunger games on, and a small sofa that Mom occupies almost all the time.

"I have to go get ready now Mom, will you be okay?" I ask her she nods yes so I head up the stairs to my bedroom. We aren't exactly rich so it's a miracle we are able to keep this nice house in town. I suspect that it's the doctor who feels sorry for us and somehow manages to never charge us for anything related to my mother which is how we have enough money to keep this place. I pull on a nice white dress with short sleeves. I think that is looks nice and hugs my body in all the right places I decide that I look fine so I brush my hair and then head out of my room adding no accessories not even shoes, I prefer to be barefoot. I hope Keldern likes it, he's my best friend and I'm definitely in love with him.

"Maddie time to go," I shout up and she quickly comes running down the stairs dressed in a plain blouse and blue skirt and nice black shoes, I don't know how she stands wearing them all the time but I don't comment it only makes her angry. We say a nice goodbye to our mom and promise to be home right after the reaping then head off to the main square. I sign in and tell Maddie to meet me over by the fifteen year old section. I walk to my section and to my delight I see Keldern standing there waiting for me.

"Hey," he says as I walk up to stand next to him. We talk for a minute or two and then the mayor stands up on the stage to welcome us all to the reapings. He then proceeds to launch into just about the most boring speech I've ever heard before finally allowing the escort to mount the stage, by this time I've pretty much just zoned out and am not paying attention to the escort at all.

Keldern Forrents POV

I wake up in a small ally in the middle of town on top of a discarded train engine. They aren't that uncommon in district 6 after all, we are transportation. I yawn, look around for any peacekeepers, and then head out towards the square where I can hopefully find a decent bathroom to change in. Before long I pass an old abandoned shop and after quickly checking for peacekeepers I step inside. I open my worn out backpack and pull out my plain white t-shirt and nicer but still worn pair of jeans. I change quickly and stuff my regular dirty clothes back into my bag.

Generally I would head over to Blaise's to help her with her mom and sister but since today is the reaping it's probably better if I give them some space. Instead I head over early to the main square where the reapings will be in about half an hour. The peacekeeper that is checking me in looks disdainfully at my bare feet but doesn't make any comments before waving me on into the square. People think it's weird that I never wear shoes but since I don't have nor can remember having any family and I just go wherever I can sleep or eat I think that it is totally normal. Lucky for me Blaise hates shoes too. She is just so perfect which is obviously why I love her so much and I have already promised myself that if she gets reaped that I will volunteer to protect her.

I just stand in the fifteens section as people start to walk into the square for the reaping for about twenty-five minutes before Blaise finally shows up. She looks amazing in her white dress and she doesn't need any accessories she already looks perfect. To my delight I find that she isn't wearing any shoes either. We talk for a little while and the whole time I have to stop myself from blurting out how much I love her.

The mayor takes the stage and welcomes everybody and launches his boring speech and I have to do everything in my willpower not to zone out. He eventually passes the stage over to our very odd escort, Firlay. He overenthusiastically welcomes us and quickly moves on to the girls reaping. He grabs a slip and walks to the mic. I hope it isn't Blaise I think furiously hoping that the odds are in our favor today.

"Your female tribute is… Blaise Emeralden!" He shrieks out excitedly. I nudge Balise a little bit to get her moving and she walks purposefully up to the stage only shedding a few tears. The escort asks her about her lack of shoes and she gives a slightly cutting reply and I can tell that she is covering up her extreme anger at being picked. Firlay moves on to the boys hardly acting upset. I know what I'm going to do and so when he starts reading the name I am prepared.

"And your boy tribute is… Marl-" He starts but I quickly cut him off.

"I Volunteer!" I shout and run up to the stage my bare feet slapping against the cobblestone aisle. Blaise gives me a sad but understanding look as we shake hands and then we are escorted into the justice building. Firlay asks my name and I state it loudly and confidently, the best way to get sponsors.

I don't get any visitors, not that I was expecting to, my only friend is Blaise and I don't have any family which just made my decision to volunteer even easier knowing the only person who will miss me is Blaise. So I just sit there for the full goodbye hour and think about how I'm going to protect Blaise in the arena.

Blaise Emeralden

I can't believe Keldern volunteered! I can't believe this what am I going to do! He is the only person I will probably ever love and now I have to kill him! This is not fair! I shake his hand and give him a sad look as if getting reaped wasn't enough just throw my best friend and secret love into the arena as well why don't we? I want to scream but I control myself having a mental breakdown is no way to get sponsors, and I'll need sponsors if I want to keep me and Keldern alive.

I get led into my goodbye room and I sit quietly on the sofa waiting for someone to come. First Maddie comes in, she's bawling. I comfort her telling her that I'll try to win and come back home for her and then I tell her to stay strong and take care of Mom while I'm gone. After that we just sit and hug until the peacekeeper comes in and drags her away. Next to come in is my other best friend Kristina. She is usually very funny but right now I can tell that she is really worried for me, she keeps nervously twirling her lovely blond hair around her finger as she spits out a bunch of survival tips and wishes me luck. Then she bursts into tears and hugs me crying into my shoulder until it's time for her to go.

"Watch over Maddie and Mom" I shout out to her as she leaves the room. Once she's gone I just sit in the room in silence until the peacekeepers come to take us to the train.
