Chapter 10
Moon just stared, wide-eyed. Cinna, as in thee Cinna. He had made his debut as a stylist in the 74th Hunger Games with tributes from District 12. Moon and Sun had been roughly four at the time and to this day Moon could still remember how breathtaking the costumes had been.
Many had hoped District 12 would win that year; apparently the tributes had been passionate lovers. The rules had even been changed that year so that if both tributes from the same district became the final two, both would win. Neither had made it though, dying in the final three. The winner had been a Career; the boy, Cato, from District 2.
Over the years the costumes Cinna had designed has always been stunning, but nothing could compare to his work for District 12.
"Nervous?" Cinna questioned gently, shattering her line of thought.
"Huh? What?" Moon asked, heat creeping into her cheeks. Cinna laughed and it put her somewhat at ease.
"I asked you if you were nervous. If you are, don't be. Could you remove your robe?" Reluctantly Moon obeyed and Cinna circled, looking her over, but not making any move to touch.
"You have a very beautiful body, and your hair is such a lovely length. Letting it fall naturally compliments you." Moon blushed even more, but refused to drop his gaze.
"Thank you," she whispered. Cinna smiled warmly and handed her the robe.
"You're welcome, now how about we chat over a bite to eat."

"Calm down, you look fantastic," Laney and Kassandra, Sun's stylist, assured at the same moment. Sun didn't' doubt that, but his costume wasn't what was worrying him.
Where was Moon?
"Such a fabulous costume…no doubt you'll get sponsors," Laney said. He really didn't doubt that.
His costume consisted of white pants tucked into gold boots and a long sleeved, loose fitting gold tunic, a white belt holding it close to his body with a sun shaped buckle. The tunic was opened a bit, showing a fair amount of his toned chest. Naturally he was also wearing his token, which according to soft spoken Kassandra, added a "tasteful" touch. Last he wore a cape over his right shoulder which stopped at his feet. On his left hip was a sword, but it was fake.
He was the perfect balance fierceness and beauty. At least, that was what his Stylist claimed. "Where are they?" he asked again, getting angry.
"Relax," Kassandra whispered. "I'm sure they'll… oh wow." Sun followed her gaze and his jaw nearly dropped.
Striding towards them was who Sun presumed to be Cinna and Moon. At least, he thought it was Moon.
Her costume was a sleeveless white dress that showed of the top half of her breasts and clung to her hips. It flared out and stopped just a few inches below her knees.
Delicate silver sandals adorned her feet and a thin silver belt wrapped around her waist; a fake dagger sitting on her right hip and to complete the costume a silver and white cape flowed down her back, held in place by a silver choker.
Her eyes were lined with silver and silver specks shone in her hair. She looked beautiful, but deadly. They were going to get sponsors, no doubt about it.
"Not bad sis. You look…sexy," Sun teased. Moon glared and smacked him.
"Just shut-up before I throw you into a pile of manure," she said as Cinna helped her into the chariot. Given they were at the bottom of the Remake Center, also known as the largest horse stable in Panem, Sun didn't doubt she meant business.
He still laughed as he joined her and got ready for the opening ceremonies. Since they were District 1, they would lead the parade which would take them to the City Circle then end at the Training Center.
"All right you two," Cinna said, getting their attention, "get ready. Show the crowd they are looking at winners!"
And with that he left, the anthem played, the doors opened, and Sun and Moon rode into the roaring streets of the Capitol.

A\N: Ha, ha cliffle! So, if any of you are wondering, here's an idea of how thing are going to play out.
Chapters 11 to 13: Pre Games\Training
Chapter 14 to 27: The Games
Chapters 28 to 30: Post Games
Mind you, this is a rough idea, it may change. Also, there will be a sequel. Anyway:
Arcticmist: I'm glad you loved the twist and I'm glad I could make you laugh. I liked that quote too.
RueofDistrict11: I 'm glad you enjoyed your chapter and good to know you liked your surprise. Yeah, I hate Sam too. Join the club. Finnick was cool, I liked him also.
Renesmee AKA Ness: Yes, I'm back and things are going good right now, so thanks for asking. Glad you liked the chapter.
