A/N: Hello again. I just remembered that the tribute parade was BEFORE the interviews, so I spent half of last night writing the interviews instead of this chapter.

I will sort of skip around from POV to POV in no particular order, by the way.

Anyway, enjoy!

Tori POV

Marvel and I stood in our chariot, waiting for our stylists to send us in. We were going to be the first to go in.

The sound of Panem's anthem playing told me that we were ready to go in.

"Ok guys. Remember, you're excited to be here, you love the audience, and you don't hate each other's guts!" said Glimmer, my stylist.

I nodded, and then Glimmer whipped the horses lightly. With a jolt, we headed out into the Avenue of the Tributes.

The crowd went wild at the sight of us. I could hear Caesar's voice booming through the speakers.

I smiled and waved to the crowd, taking in the excitement of it all. It was kind of cool, I have to admit.

"And here comes District 2!" boomed Caesar. I could see him in his little announcer box with Claudius Templesmith.

I turned around only for a moment to get a good look at District 2's chariot. They had sort of a Greek or Viking theme, because the boy I knew as Cato had a Viking-like helmet on. Their outfits were all gold.

Cat POV

"And there's district 3!" cried out Caesar as my chariot lurched forward down the Avenue. I looked up at the screens that lined the Avenue, and I was pretty happy with how I looked. Graham turned to me and smiled.

"You look great!" he shouted over the crowd.

"You too!" I replied. He gave me a quick squeeze on the hand and turned back to the crowd, accepting kisses from the ladies as he did so.

Suddenly, District 4 pulled out into the Avenue. They were the fishing district.

A young, good looking man and a sly-looking redhead were smiling and waving at the crowd, just like pretty much all of the districts had been instructed to do. Both of them seemed genuinely happy. I have to admit, the whole thing was pretty cool. Getting to look all beautiful and then being sent out for people to adore you.

Andre POV

I watched as chariot after chariot of tributes headed out into the famous Avenue of the Tributes. The costumes were brilliant…I was mesmerized by what I was seeing.

"You know, this part isn't really that bad," said Amelia with a slight smile. Our outfits were sort of ridiculous, but it looked pretty cool compared to what we had worn prior to today.

"And here comes district 5!"

Amelia took my hand as we headed down the Avenue, smiling and waving at the crowd like we were supposed to. Everyone seemed to get a good kick out of my dreadlocks and Amelia's beautiful long hair.

Jade POV

I stood next to Cato. The district 6 chariot was just now coming out onto the Avenue. The crowd seemed pleased but not extremely impressed by what they were seeing.

It was sort of hard for me to smile and wave so much. I wasn't used to fake smiling constantly.

I took a moment to just take in this place. The sound of Panem's anthem blaring, Caesar and Claudius booming out the districts and their comments, the amazing costumes everyone was wearing, and the ever-adoring crowd around us was a little overwhelming. In a good way though, I guess.

"Out comes district 7!"

I looked up at the screens that lined the whole Avenue, where the next district's tributes' faces were about to be shown. There was a nerdy looking guy with big, square glasses and a black afro and there was a beautiful blonde haired girl next to him.

Both the boy and girl seemed very confident though, so I had to admire that.

Beck POV

I looked around at all of the chariots and their tributes. I was not only looking for the coolest costumes, but I was also taking advantage of this time to see who my greatest competition was.

The girl from district 2 looked very lethal, and the girl from district 1 was obviously faking all those smiles. I could see that she was not in a very good mood.

"Next is District 8!" boomed Caesar's voice.

I looked behind me momentarily and saw the district 8 tributes in this blue and pink ruffle-y getup. They looked kind of childish in my opinion. Then again, with my blue almost dress-like costume and headdress, I didn't have all that much room to talk.

I almost groaned as I saw the two young tributes. The boy looked like he was no older than 12, and the girl looked as though she could only be 14 or so.

I hated seeing tributes under the age of 15 getting reaped.

"And here's district 9!"

I have to say, I really liked district 9's costumes, with the silver platinum-looking clothes they wore.

I looked around once more, but at the Capitol citizens this time.

Honestly, did they think it was Halloween every day here or something?

Robbie POV

Finally, all but two of the chariots had pulled out of the Avenue.

When the 11th district came out, I groaned for two reasons. One, the female tribute was only 12 years old, and she was adorable. She looked so scared. And two, the male tribute looked like he was about 18 and he was HUGE.

Their costumes though were at least reasonable. The little girl wore a blue fancy shirt with I believe overalls covering it. That's right, they were in agriculture. It made sense. The huge guy wore a white shirt showing off his muscles and overalls as well.

They honestly looked the best from a ridiculousness standpoint right now.

But nothing could have prepared me for the 12th and final chariot's tributes' costumes.

Tori POV

We were almost at the end of the Avenue when the final chariot pulled out.

"And here comes district 12! And…what is…are they on FIRE?" cried out Caesar.

I think every tribute's head turned back to them, and sure enough, they were on FIRE.

Katniss, I believe her name was, looked absolutely GORGEOUS what with her roman hairstyle and the flames illuminating her face. And Peeta looked quite fine if I must say so myself.

The crowd went absolutely INSANE when they pulled out into open view. The flames, it appeared, were burning a cape that they wore behind them. That made sense why they weren't getting burnt to death, but the heat must have been horrible.

"That is amazing! I have never seen anything like that before!" boomed Claudius's voice.

Katniss and Peeta were graciously accepting the kisses sent their way and the flowers that were being thrown. Katniss caught a rose in her mouth in a swift, gliding move. She was really good at this.

Finally we all reached the end of the Avenue, and Panem's anthem came to an end. The fiery capes were extinguished the second we all pulled to a stop, and it was all eyes on President Snow.

President Snow said a short introduction, and then we were released back to the place where we had come in at.

I could hear the praise that Katniss and Peeta were getting by their stylists and mentor.

Jade POV

I stood next to Cato below the training center. Our stylists were saying that "even though we weren't the highlight, we were second best".

Cato stared angrily at the pair who were the highlight of this whole thing.

I slapped him on the arm.

"Cato, quit it!" I said, now angry myself. He was probably scaring them to death, and for some reason I didn't like that.

With a ticked-off sigh, Cato turned back to the stylists.

We headed upstairs to our floor to settle down for the rest of the night.

A/N: TADA! Sorry that it was so short. Review please! :D
