Chapter 1: District Farewells

Mario's POV

I have been picked. Again. A "Games" like this happened last year, albeit a preliminary one. I guess they wanted me dead. And, to be honest, I probably will die. "May the odds be ever in your favor." I don't know what that phrase means anymore. Wishing the odds to be what you want them to be isn't the way to go about things. My brother shook my hand. Brotherly rivalry, my favorite. I hop onto the train, looking out at the district that I fear will be my last look at home.

Peach's POV

A little girl like me getting picked to go into a matter of life and death? I hardly believed that. But it did happen. When it did, I just waited for the other tribute calmly. Big mistake. Daisy, of all people, had been chosen. We were forced to shake hands, but I didn't want to, not with the person I was going to kill... Eventually.

Yoshi's POV

This is bad. This is very, very bad. A little dinosaur like me, chosen to pretty much send to the crematory. And on top of that, a girly version of me was picked as my ally. Oh, no. The little girl was apparently named Birdo. We shook hands, and I was thinking, "A bow tie on her face? This chick is going down."

Toad's POV

I guess it had to happen. Me and Toadette getting picked, I mean. I was sure I was going to get picked sooner or later; I was praying it would be later. And then, to top it all off, Toadette was picked as the other tribute. A person started laughing. District Four wasn't the nicest of all districts. We stood up, shook hands, and didn't let go as we walked to the train. People started laughing at the act, but we didn't care. Once the door closed, we couldn't hear them, anyway.

Wario's POV

Yes! I got picked, along with Waluigi. I shouted into the mic about how I was going to win the million dollars, and how we were going to be famous once we won. I guess Waluigi wasn't on my side. He just stood there. Eventually he pulled me into the car. But then he whispered about how it was just a ruse, and that he was just as giddy as I was. I like this guy!

Rosalina's POV

I thought about how the cosmos decide everyone's fate. The stars weren't smiling on me this time. My luck had run out. The Luma beside me wasn't happy, either. We shook hands, hoping this time, the stars would prevail upon us.

Bowser's POV

Me and Junior got picked today. I guess that's a good thing! We get to defeat Mario, snag Peach , and let her win! Mario, you're going down! Bwahahahahahahaha!
