"Hello citizens of Panem! It's time for the 74th annual Hunger Games Tribute Parade! I'm your host Caesar Flickerman along with co- host Claudius Templesmith. We're about to start the parade but first, Claudius, what do you think of this year's lineup?" "

Well I believe we are going to have a most fabulous year!" Claudius replied giving a thumbs- up to the camera.

"And here they come!" shouted Flickerman. "Wow, Districts 1 and 2 did an amazing job displaying their tributes this year. It's like an ' I'm going to win' attitude. District 3 is wonderful with their colorful costumes." Blake and Ross were in the fast- moving chariot still holding hands and smiling and waving to the crowd.

"We'll get 'em for sure this time..." Blake whispered to Ross as their chariot stopped with Districts 1+2. As they pulled up, the boy from District 2 was staring at her. "Strange..." Blake thought to herself.

Thousands of gasps uttered from the crowd as all eyes turned to the District 12 chariot. The girl and the boy from there seemed to be... on fire? "Are they on fire?" she spoke loudly so Ross could hear her over the loud gasps being made from the audience.

"District 12 has the audience in awe!" Flickerman shouted. All the other districts, including 3 looked upon 12 in envy.

"It was going to be the time for District 3 to shine, but 12 ruined it..." said Blake out into thin air. She would find them later in the arena. And when she did, they would be sorry.
