Katniss P.O.V
After we make it through the loving crowd, we each get sent to different rooms. Then I get led to my to wait for my "styling team." Once they enter I get kinda startled because I was a bit zoned out for a minute. They look really funny. Even more
so than
Effie. "Hello sweetheart. Congratulations!" Did they just congratulate me? And excitedly at that. Ok. Can I go hunger games on them please? "I'm Flavius. (He says while putting his hand on his chest). And this is Octavia (he continues while pointing
/to her)." "I'm Katniss." I say sweetly. "We know sweetie." Flavius says softly. "Katniss, you might want to brace yourself. Cause what we're about to do is going to hurt." Octavia tells me. "Ok." Even though I don't have a lot if body hair, they wax
/every single hair that isn't on my head away. And when I say everywhere, I mean everywhere. Then they hose me down. They both start talking and I ask them what they said. Cause I didn't here then and I'm quiet scared. "Oh. We were saying how we might
/have to hide you down again. Before we take you to Cinna. Who? I ask myself.
Then they put me in a robe. I'm naked under the robe as well. He walks in and he looks quite normal for a capital resident. The capitalish thing he has going for him is gold eye liner. And that brings out the gold flecks in his eyes. He quite tall but
/everyone is tall compared to me. And he is an African-American man. I think he's in his early 30s. "Take the robe off for me please?" He asks nicely. "Wait what!?" "It's for the costume. You can trust me." "Ok." I say while I skyway and shakily take
/off my robe. He walks around me and examines me. I'm a bit uncomfortable. Then he tells me I can put my robe back on. After that we eat and talk. "I'm sorry this has happened to you. You are so brave." "Really? Most people just congratulate me." "Well,
/I don't see a point in that." He says with a smile on his face. "I'm sorry you're stuck with us. You know. District 12. Considering our reputation with costumes and winning." I say sincerely. "No it's ok. I volunteered anyways." Then he takes a bit
/of his food. "What! Why!?" "Because I have many great ideas for this district in the future. And now. Don't get me wrong. I'm tired of seeing this district humiliated." He says sincerely. "Now come on, let's get you ready." "Are you here to make me
/look pretty?" I ask. "Well that and to make an impression. We wouldn't want you looking silly now would we." "I would hope not." I say softly with a smile.
"You can open your eyes now." Cinna tells me. I open my eyes and look in the mirror. "Uhhhhh wow." I gasp breathless in shock. "I look beautiful. Thank you Cinna." Then I hug him. I am wearing a black dress. But after the waist comes a red flame design
/with glitter on it. Then my hair is in a curly high pony at the top. But then at the bottom, the rest of my hair is down my back in curls. For my shoes I have on glittery black flats. And I have on Chapstick. I also have a glittery red bow in my hair.
/I leave out the room to come face to chest with Sam. He has on a similar outfit. It's just that he has on pants. Sam grabs my hand and we walk hand and hand to our chariot. We get to the chariot and Cinna says... "Wave and smile to the crowd like
/you've been doing. Just be friendly and have 'fun'." "And I hate to admit it, but you're very adorable sweetheart. Especially when you smile so be as adorable as possible. Oh. And I can see a brother-sister relationship blossoming. So act as if you're
/her big brother got it." Haymitch adds. "No problem." Sam says. "K." I simply reply. "Alright time to get on the chariots." Effie says. Sam helps me get on then he gets on as well.
The chariots start moving and then after what feels like forever, we start moving. Once the crowd sees us, we start waving and smiling. And I even blow a few kisses. Sam also gives me a brotherly side hug at one point. I'm just not noticing that our flames
/on our costumes looks like sparks. Everyone seemed pretty impressed. Especially Caesar Flickerman. Some of the tributes look back at us with deadly glares. Especially the careers and even more so, Sparkle. Now I'm even more scared than before. After
/about 10 seconds, they stop looking. We then get in the chariot circle while the president introduces us. I smile and blow a kiss at him. He catches it and smiles back at me. Once he's done introducing us, we go back into the tribute room.
"Way to make a good impression out there." Haymitch says. "Thanks." Sam and I say at the same time. "Um can we go upstairs? The careers are kind of freaking me out." "As your big brother, I got this." "What!? No!" I say scared. "No it's ok let him do
/it." Cinna says softly.
Sam's P.O.V
I'm not that scared. I know I'm going to die for Katniss anyways. The careers are all together so I walk up to them. "HEY!" I shout at them angrily. They all turn with shocked and deadly expressions on there faces. "Yeah I'm talking to you. Stop looking
/at my little sister. Your freaking her out. She's just a little girl! And you guys are sick, cruel individuals to take an advantage of that. I don't really care if you were trained to be ruthless if you really want to know. But stop being such jealous
/assholes and bitches and show a little class!" I say just s tad bit loud and really angry. When I turn around everyone is looking at us. Now I know they are ready to kill me. But I don't care. So I stare them down, wink at sparkle cause she's cute,
/and walk away. I walk back over and hug Katniss. She is shocked, but she's hugs me right back really tightly. I'm going to protect you 'Rosie Cheeks.' I promise." "Rosie Cheeks?" Katniss questions sweetly. "Your sister name is Primrose and you blush
/a lot." I explain as she blushes. "Seeee. But it's very adorable. Come on lil sis. Let's go to our room. You guys want to lead the way." I say to them. "Sure thing pretty boy." Haymitch says.
Katniss P.O.V
I love my big brother. I guess we protect and comfort each other. Well I can't do much protecting so just comforting really. "You are going to love the suite. It's so fabulous..." Effie says in her annoying, high pitched, Capitol accent. But I just
/tone her out. We get on the elevator and it takes us straight to our room. It's so nice. "Go freshen up before dinner." Effie says. Then we get led to our rooms. I look around the room and it's very nice. I take off my clothes, hang up the dress,
/and go to the bathroom to get in the shower. After 20-25 mins or so, I get out the shower, dry off, and put on lotion. After that I put on my underclothes and then I put on black skinnies, a white tank top, and a half blue jean jacket with some black
/flats. I put my hair in my signature braid, put on some perfume, and head to the dining table. "Ah. Just on time Katniss. You look lovely." Effie says. "Thank you, Effie." I say while blushing. "I saved a seat here for you Katniss." Sam says while
/patting the seat next to him. "Thanks." I say while I take my seat. As we're eating Haymitch starts to talk. So your good with a bow and a knife. And your good at hand to hand to hand combat right?" "Yep." "Don't show off your skills." He says calmly.
/"Oh and focus on important things. Like how to make a fire, learn about the different types of plants, fruits, nuts, and animals there are. Also rope tying." He adds on. "Wait, why?" I ask kind of scared and shocked. "Because sweetheart, you want
/them to underestimate and think you're weak. Because if they know your strengths, they can use that against you. Or better themselves. Do you know about the careers?" "Yeah." I reply then take a bite of my food. There from districts 1, 2,-" "And 4."
/He adds before I'm able to finish my sentence. "That's right. They start training for the games at 8. Until there 18 years old. And by that time, there pretty lethal. But there arrogant. And arrogance is a full proof plan to death most time." Now
/I talked the game makers and the trainers and they are open at night for each district at different time slots. You can come anytime, but they prefer if you come at different times. If someone comes on your time, stop practicing your strengths and
/go back to your day exercises. Am I clear." "Crystal." I say. "Like glass." Sam says.
Once we finish dinner, Sam and I go and watch the Tribute Parade. We actually looked really good. All the good costumes ended up on the news. Like ours. They're also talking about the confrontation with Sam and the careers. And people really love it.
/They're just mean and cruel. After awhile we fall asleep with me in Sam's arms and his head on my head. It's going to be a very long day tomorrow.

A/N: I know Katniss is a bit OOC, but since she is 12, I want to portray her as innocent and a bit naive like Prim. But still strong. And yes, I did make her a little more girly,likable, and compassionate.
