HI! Hm... that's all I have to say...

Whatever~ Shout out to District 5, Gir'sdoomsongofdoom, and Kittyistwix!


District One Train Ride

Dimitri sits with a blank expression. He glares out the window, as if by doing this it might burn down the capitol.

Sakura was almost a mirror image of him. She had her legs and arms crossed, lips pursed. She didn't even move when their escort brought in the laptops and their tokens that were sent from their family.

Dimitri, however, did. He was intrigued by the laptop. Upon opening it he found himself face to face with those who were going to say goodbye. It was a recording, so he couldn't actually respond.

Abby, Dimitri's twin, was saying goodluck and that he'll definitely win. At times Damien and Eddie would interrupt and say 'Don't make relationships~!' Serena and Abby would slap their shoulders and say 'You know he won't so shoosh!'

After Sakura heard the voices of Abby, Damien, Serena, and Eddie she leaned forward and grabbed the laptop placed on the table for her. She opened the top and, like Dimitri, was given a goodbye message from her family.

It was her brother and sister first, Sirius and Kurenai. They were saying goodluck, and that they wish they could be there to give her her token. She eyed the small box that was placed beside the laptop, and quickly opened it curiously. Inside was a wolf necklace. She tied it around her neck and looked at Dimitri.

'I'm assuming your box has your token too?'

Dimitri nodded and tapped snake locket hanging from his neck 'Pretty cool huh? It should scare a few of the younger tributes,' he joked.

District Two Train Ride

'I am so excited! I'm finally going into the games!' Karter exclaimed for probably the tenth time since they got onto the train.

Harvie had stopped crying, finally. And was holding up a mirror that their escort had so kindly brought to him

'My face looks disgusting...'

'Who cares? I'm just happy I'll be able to get a house in the victors village!'

'How are you so sure?' Harvie asked as he daintily put the mirror on table separating the two.

'Because, I have loads of training and will definitely win!'

Harvie sighed 'Yes, but I have training,' ('Though it isn't a lot' he added quickly) 'Yet I'm not bragging.'

'Yes, but I'm certain I'll be wi-'

There was a knock on the door and their escort lay two laptops and two small boxes in front of the both of them.

Harvie raised an eyebrow while Karter said 'Sponsor gifts? Already? Oh, they shouldn't have!'

Harvie sighed and opened the laptop. A video began to play. His father appeared on screen, Harvie didn't want to hear the rest once he heard 'All you have to do is pray!' so he fast forwarded and got to Alice's goodbye. She told him that, unfortunately, his brothers are doing peacekeeper duties and can't say goodbye. But she hopes that he'll still do his best and that he'll like his token.

Harvie opened the box, and inside was a single piano key. He smiled lightly and held it in his hand. He looked up at Karter. She was very smuug, and hadn't yet opened her laptop.

She noticed his confused face. 'No need, I'm coming back anyway, remember?' she reminded him.

He slowly pushed her box towards her, so she sighed and gave in. She opened the box, inside was a necklace with a blood red pendant.

District Three Train Ride

Immogen was pretty good at weeding stuff out from her fellow tributes, and Lavyla as well. Lavyla would gladly answer questions about the Capitol and how training will work.

Gizmo and Fidjit didn't understand the importance of electronics training, after all they are from district three, so most of them should have some pretty good training.

Jayson sat beside Immogen, sometimes telling her what was passing by. After about 10 minutes of very awkward silence, Lavyla left the compartment and came back with four laptops and four boxes.

'One for Gizmo, one for Fidjit, one for Jayson, and one for Immogen~' Lavyla sang as she handed out the laptops and boxes in pairs.

They each held their boxes and laptops on their lap. They didn't really know what to do with it, and as to not arouse suspicion Immogen asked what they were.

'They're laptops and a box for each of you!' Lavyla told them happily.

They each shrugged and opened their laptops. They each had a goodbye video from their families and friends, which made Gizmo a bit sad to watch. Immogen pretended to close her eyes when she put on her glasses. She just listened. Fidjit didn't like watching it, as it made him think about the home he won't be returning to. Jayson's mom and dad were rather awkward in their video. They said goodluck, and to try and win. Apart from that though, they didn't say anything.

Jayson didn't receive a token, it didn't bother him as much though. Fidjit, like Jayson, did not receive a token.

Gizmo received a wire bracelet from her biological brother Gadget. She immediately tied it around her wrist and smiled lightly.

Immogen received the small music box her parents bought her when she went blind. She smiled when she saw it, and pretended to feel it as to know what it was.

District Four Train Ride

Annika enjoyed talking to Tyrik. Her uncle Phinn was friends with his parents, so she's seen him a lot. He was also, in your opinion, quite cute. And seeing as he was only a year older than her she could easily date him.

After 10 minutes of them talking about pointless stuff, their mentor walked in with two laptops and two boxes. It was Halo Layer, Annika's aunt.

'The laptops each have a goodbye video from your families and friends,' she told them.

Tyrik and Annika nodded and each opened their laptops. Annika received a goodbye video from her mom and dad Killia and Micheal and her brother and sister Tera and Kail. They told her to win, which shouldn't be hard because of her training. They told her Kaya, her sister who drowned two years prior, would want her to win as a confidence boost. Her token was a bracelet weaved together with nets.

Tyrik received a message from his parents, Linda and Damien. His mom was in tears, even though she knew her son had a large chance of winning. His dad smiled and told him how proud he is that his son volunteered. When they left his friend Eadric Gorop came into view. He was smiling, telling him he'll miss him while he's gone.

'I hope you like your token!' was what Eadric said as he pressed end recording. Tyrik got a ring embedded with fish scales as his token.

District Five Train Ride

Mason hardly talked throughout their entire ride. Mari was a bit unnerved by him, but she still tried talking to him. But, seeing as he didn't like talking, she just talked to their mentor instead. When their mentor came back with their laptops and boxes, Mason only had one thing to say 'Private training, please.'

They each opened their laptops, and watched their videos. Mason's message was from his parents, Fortune and Jacob. His mom was crying, telling him to stay alive and come home. His dad said good luck, and that hopefully his token will keep him strong. He opened the box after the video ended, inside was the silver chain necklace that used to belong to his sister Is.

Mari's message was a bit longer, due to the fact that her family is a bit larger than Mason's. Her five brothers and her father appeared on screen. Her brother Ron was close to tears, as was her thirteen year old brother Sam. Max, Evan, and Victor were pretty quiet throughout the entire video. Her father Harry kept telling her not to die, and that her brothers spent a long time on the token. Her token was a flower crow large enough to hang around her neck.

District Six Train Ride

Six was ticked, very ticked. He didn't want to be there. He wanted to be hanging out with "The weirds" and plotting rebellion against the Capitol. Unfortunately, his district partner was not one of them so he couldn't talk to her about it. Quite frankly, Dani was very quiet as well, but it was because she was trying not to cry.

Their mentor, Rayle, came in after a few hours with their laptops and boxes. 'Heyo~ here's your goodbye messages and your tokens!' she sang.

They both shrugged, and opened their laptops to watch the videos. Six's message was from his parents, Swerve and Johnson. They told him that his funeral will be small, and that hopefully he won't be killed brutally. They also told him the food that will be served at his funera- Six sighed and skipped through to the end. A few kids from "The weird" said goodbye and goodluck, but really that was all. He didn't receive a token.

Dani's goodbye video was a bit longer, because she ha five sisters and two brothers. Her parents were in tears, and so was Amy, because she didn't want her to volunteer. The video consisted of crying and saying goodluck. Amy held up a bracelet that had "LO" on it in big, blue lettering. She showed herself putting it in the box. Then, she held up another bracelet that said "VE" in the same, blue lettering. She clamped it onto her wrist. Dani began to cry as she opened the box and saw the bracelet.

District Seven Train Ride

After the recaps ended, Laura stopped talking as much. Largely due to the fact that Naomi left and was now bawling her eyes out in her separate compartment. Roris is continuously asking everyone, including Tarryth, questions.

'Shut up kid!'

'Tarryth, calm down,' Ray kept telling her, but to no avail, Tarryth was annoyed.

'Ugh! Fine, I'm leaving and only coming back to give you your laptops and tokens!'

True to her word, she left the living room and came back with a "Huff!" and practically threw all four laptops and boxes on the couch.

'Now, Laura, go get Naomi's ass over here!' Tarryth demanded.

Laura jumped, nodded and ran (and fell while doing so) to Naomi's compartment. She came back with a sobbing Naomi.

'Wh- why did I need to come back?' she asked through hiccups.

'Because, you whiner, I brought you your goodbye videos, now open your laptops then your token boxes,' Tarryth told them as she left their compartment.

They were all confused and opened their laptops as to not anger Tarryth any further. Naomi's message was from her mother, Helena. She was crying, just like Naomi. She was saying 'Goodluck, Naomi! Please stay alive as long as you can!' she also apologised for not being able to get her a token.

Ray's message was from his dad. He kept joking about how "Maybe he'll see his mom in the Capitol!" and saying goodluck. Near the end he said 'Sorry, Ray, I couldn't think of anything for your token.'

Roris's message was from his parents, Roran and Cherilee, and his younger sister Lynn. Lynn was crying, saying that she doesn't want him to die. She also said she wanted to send him a tree as his token, but she wasn't allowed. Roran and Cherilee said goodluck and that if he dies it will be painless.

Laura's dad, her older brother, and her grandparents said goodbye. They all said that hopefully she won't die in the bloodbath. Her grandma showed her a small, silver branch shaped pin. 'This'll be 'ur token sweetie, please don't lose it,' and she placed it in the box.

She opened the box, grabbed the pin, and stuck it to her shirt. She looked at each of her fellow tributes and asked 'Um, am I the only one who got a token?'

They all just nodded.

District Eight Train Ride

'So, there was a strange man at the orphanage, and guess what!' Otes said and twirled his right index finger before pointing it at Bailey.

"Er, what?'

'He taught me how to fly!'

Bailey scoffed 'Yeah, of course he did~'

'No, really! Watch!' Otes told her and stood up, once he was standing he began to hover, and eventually he was flying around the small compartment.(A/N- Don't worry, this Gary Stue's dying in the bloodbath.)

Vers gasped when he slid open the compartment door to give them their tokens and laptops.

'Oh my god! Do not, I say, do not fly in the compar- wait... oh whatever, here you go~' he chimed and handed them each their laptops and boxes.

'Now, those there belong to the Capitol, the laptops I mean. So, don't wreck 'em,' he chuckled and walked out of their compartment.

'Well then...'

Bailey opened her laptop, and was greeted with a less than amused video of her mom.

'Yeah, so, don't try killing yourself. So, in other words, if you win,' her mom paused and laughed 'I'll be taking a lot of your winnings, 'kay?'

Bailey almost began to cry because of this, so she skipped to the middle. Her friend Sophia was crying, and telling her not to die. 'P- please Bailey, please don't die!' she sniffled and showed her a necklace. 'Y- your token, don't lose it, please?'

Bailey opened her box, inside was the blue and red necklace, handmade by Sophia. She smiled sadly as she tied it around her neck.

Otes smiled as he watched his video. The strange old man from the orphanage was the first to say goodbye.

(A/N-Imagine a hippie saying this...) 'Just remember Otes, you just need to fly. The odds are definitely in your favour, just fly~.'

Next were two close friends from the orphanage. A girl and a boy, twins. 'So, uh, gonna miss you Otes. Hope you come back,' the boy chuckled nervously and ran a hand through his dirty blond hair. His sister nodded and smiled.

'Oh, Ecal here wants to give you this,' he said, and held up a golden chain.

Otes closed the laptop and grabbed the golden chain from the box, he hung it around his neck.

'So, do I look kingly?'

District Nine Train Ride

Harry was sad, well, sad isn't a very good word to describe how he was now. He was sobbing, and his chest heaved every time he took a breath. His eyes were puffy and red, and he had enough tears to fill a bucket. But, sad can suffice.

Olivia tried being nice, telling him that he shouldn't be crying. 'My daddy would be so~ annoyed now, please, Harry, stop crying!' she whined.

He shook his head 'N- no, I'll be dead in the bloodbath!'

She sighed and slouched in her seat. After ten minutes of Harry's crying their mentor walked in to give them their boxes and laptops. 'Harry, please stop crying,' she said with a sigh before leaving.

Harry wiped his snot on his sleeve before opening the laptop. His fifteen year old sister, Katty, and his parents sid goodbye. They were all, excluding his father, crying. Katty stuttered in everything she said 'H- Harry, please don't die like Geegee!'

His mom slid her ring off her finger and dropped it in the box. 'Honey, it will be your token...' his dad remained silent through the whole ordeal. Harry sniffed as he grabbed his mom's wedding ring from the box, and slid it on his smallest finger.

Olivia only had one goodbye, from her father, Richard, mayor of district nine. 'Olivia, I hope you win,' he told her with a smile. 'Your mom would be proud.' he said before turning off the recording.

Olivia opened her box eagerly, only to be disappointed when she found nothing inside. 'How, like, totally rude.'

District Ten Train Ride

Marco needed strategy, a lot of strategy. So, whenever their mentor walked in to check up on them, he'd immediately ask for help. Not that he received stuff he himself understood.

After about five hours, their escort walked in with the laptops and boxes. 'This here's your goodbye videos and your tokens,' she said quickly before leaving.

Kari and Marco shrugged before opening their laptops. Marco's goodbye video was from his parents, Jordan and Christa. Christa was seated in her wheelchair, while Jordan stood at her side.

'Well, Marco, try to win... 'kay?' she said with a small smile. His father held up a silver chain necklace, with a metal bull head as the charm. 'This was your grandpa's, he'd want you to have it,' he told him and placed it in the box.

Marco opened the small, black box, surely enough, inside was the chain. He took it out and clamped it around his neck.

Kari hadn't even bothered watching the first half of the video. All it was was her parents saying how disappointed they are that she volunteered, they didn't care that she's had a lot of training. Phil would probably be boasting about how he won, and how much he doubts that she win. Shawn would probably say 'Break a leg, literally I mean.'

The only part she watched was her friend Ammis saying goodbye. She was crying, and saying that her training would come in handy.

Kari didn't open her box, as she already had her charm bracelet that she's had since she was an infant.

District Eleven Train Ride

Fig was very quiet, as she didn't know what she could say to Lewis. His brothers reaction to him being reaped scared her, so she was a bit weary of talking to him. His scars across his eye didn't help matters.

'Hey, you too,' Terron, their mentor, said as he knocked on the compartment door.

'Yeah?' Fig asked. Terron opened the slide and handed them their laptops and boxes. 'Vay says they're your goodbye videos and tokens,' thirteen year old Terron told them with a smile before leaving.

Fig opened her laptop, and watched her family say goodbye. Her father, Talon, said that he hopes she'll do well. Her seventeen year old sister, Trice, was in tears. And kept saying encouraging stuff you might hear a mother say. Her younger sisters, Poppy, Laeila, and Gem were crying, a lot. Her older brother Jest kept a straight face, sometimes adding in strategies she could use. Fig wanted to hug him, as he's her favourite. Gem showed her a braided necklace she found, it had a wooden butterfly hanging from it. 'Fig, I want you to wear this in the games.'

Fig smiled when the video ended, and grabbed the necklace from the box. She swung it over her head and around her neck.

Lewis's video was a bit different, well, a lot different. You could see two peacekeepers standing beside the door, guarding them. Another peacekeeper was standing directly behind them. His brother Nicklas was the first to speak 'I'm sorry for throwing rocks when you were reaped.'

Loupes patted his shoulder and said 'Good luck, Lewis. If we can, Marrel and I might send you bread or something,' Marrel, Loupes's twin twin nodded and smiled. 'Goodluck Lewis.'

His younger sister Heather was sitting on his moms lap and crying. 'Le- Lewis I- I'll miss you!' she sobbed. His mom Katy smiled sadly and said 'Remember what to do if you come across a Tracker Jacker's nest, Lewis,' she told him. His father, Matthew nodded and said 'I also advise you to stay away from bears,'

You could hear a peacekeeper from beside the door say 'Out!' and the video ended. Lewis didn't get a token, as the silver cylinder through top of his left ear could work.

District Twelve Train Ride

Melissa didn't talk, a lot at least. It wasn't because she didn't like her district partner, Kell. But, she is naturally quiet anyway. At times, she would leave the compartment to go to her separate room and talk to Aphrodite.

Kell, however, was deliberately trying to not talk to Melissa. He felt that because she's best friends with Aphrodite, who was one of the four winners in the 49th, he thought she was dangerous.

Melissa walked back into the compartment where Kell was beginning to sleep, and handed him the laptop and a box. 'Aphrodite told me that there's a video on the laptop from your family saying goodbye, the box holds your token if they give you one,' she told him sweetly.

Kell practically glared at her as he took the laptop from her hands. Even though he knew this was out of character, he couldn't risk possibly going into an alliance with her.

Melissa was confused by his behaviour, he's possibly the nicest boy in district twelve. She just shrugged it off and sat down to watch her video. Her mom was crying into her fathers shoulder. Her father had clearly been crying a bit before the video. Her older sister Nelle was the only one without red eyes and a pink face.

'Melissa, whatever you do, do not go near the Cornucopia. Please try to come home, Aphrodite will help you and Kell to the best of her abilities,' she told her with the smallest smile.

Her mom continued to cry as they left the room. Melissa pressed the escape button and closed the laptop. She leaned forward slightly to grab the box and lifted the top off. It was empty. She sadly put the lid back on and looked up at Kell 'Did you get one?'

He was still watching his video, so he shrugged his shoulders and continued to watch. His mom and dad didn't even go. Only his two brothers, Moac and Asrel, and his older sister Gennifer. He raised an eyebrow and, as if he could see him, his brother Asrel told him why.

'They didn't come because you were reaped, they said you'll die anyway.'

Gennifer and Moac nodded. Gennifer was nineteen, and had avoided being reaped. 'If you manage to win I don't know what they'll say to that,' she chuckled lightly.

Moac nudged Gennifers shoulder and whispered 'We only have a minute left.'

Gennifer nodded and held up a card 'It's from one of the Everdeen boys, I think at least, he wasn't able to come,' she told him and placed it in the box. 'We have to go,' Asrel told him and pressed "stop recording".

Kell lifted the lid off the box, and inside was the card. In neat calligraphy were the words "Good Luck, Kell."

Melissa smiled 'Yup, you got a token, haha.'

ARRIVAL AT THE CAPITOL! (A/N-Zedphire's POV will be used at all times, but may change when I point it out.)

The reactions varied from tribute to tribute. There were a few that I found funny and others interesting.

For example, Sakura and Dimitri had similar reactions. They both looked angry, and didn't wave at the audience and were, clearly, unhappy to be there. Definitely not typical careers. Not something I'm particularly happy about, as I, and the capitol members, love careers for their bloodthirstiness!

Another one would have to be district three, because of that blind girl.

Immogen Jones' POV

Upon arriving I can see hundred upon hundreds of Capitol members. And the Capitol itself, I can't even think of a word to describe it! I move my walking stick across the floor until it hits Gizmo. She looks at me 'Oh, Immogen, isn't the Capitol breathtaki- I mean...'

'It's fine, I was looking for someone to describe it for me,' I tell her. She nods, in a slightly apologetic way, and begins to describe the Capitol.

'Well, there area a lot of bright and colourful buildings which tower over the train tracks. It's very... sparkly,' she paused and laughed. 'The capitol members are all screaming outside the train, hoping to get a glimpse of all the tributes, a lot of them have crazy tattoos and weirdly coloured hair,' she concluded.

Fidjit walked beside Gizmo and waved out the window, he hissed at Gizmo and I 'Lavyla told Jayson and I to wave, so you should too!'

Jayson was already waving, and managing to make a few girls swoon. I wave out the window, and stare blankly above the crowd. Better keep up the act.

Of course, I can't leave out Six Dressiden, he didn't do anything except wave. Which is what interests me. He didn't look overwhelmed, well, maybe a little. His district partner, Dani, did something similar. But she was actually smiling kindly and looked surprised by the capitol.

District seven was amusing to watch, because of the fact that there are four of them.

Naomi Chang's POV

The Capitol. It's very... colourful. I don't like it, plus the people who live here are just creepy. I don't care what Tarryth says, I am not waving or "smiling brightly". Tarryth looks unamused.

'You should act more like Laura or Jayson over here, at least they're trying to get sponsors!' Tarryth snapped at me.

'So, not like Roris?' I ask and cock my head to Roris.

He's waving, and flashing a bright smile at the crowd. He looks absolutely above everyone, and very cocky. Clearly, he'll be getting a few sponsors.

Mason and Mari had completely different reactions! Mari was shy and scared. Slowly waving out to the crowd, smiling nervously. Mason, however, acted like no one was there!

There's also Otes, flying around in front of the window with Bailey in his arms. That gave me a good laugh.

Harry Hills didn't even come out of his room, and he had the blinds rolled down. Poor Olivia was left awkwardly standing in front of the train window waving out to the crowd like her mentor and escort told her too.

'Pellope!' I call, as I turn off my computer screen.

Pellope walks into my room and nods, straightening her grey, tattered maid like dress.

'Write a note to president Snow for me...'


This, this took more than a day...Mainly because I was (re)watching AVPM and AVPS whenever I got bored...

Oh, and I am very surprised by how long this chapter is... o_o I'm sorry if you don't like long (ish) chapters. ^-^'

Also, I apologise if your tribute doesn't have as long of a train ride ^-^'

Oh, Jaide, Melissa gets her token later on :D
