Hi guys! Sorry it took so long to update, I have been extremely busy lately. I'm starting the train rides this chapter. They will probably be short and sweet, but I'm not sure yet... Anyways, here is the District 1 train ride!

D1 Male-Ron Tharty (18):

Ever since Madeline left the goodbye room, all I can think about is how she's going to have a baby. Something else that I now have to fight to get home too. I'm starting to question how smart volunteering was. Not that I'm worried. I know I'll win. But still, I am a little concerned for Madeline's sake. I start to play with my token, a locket with a picture of Madeline and I in it. It isn't sissy, it's love. I hear a door open and turn to see Alexis, my district partner walk in. With her are our mentors, Jacob and Vera, and our escort, Eezma, still as blindingly bright as ever. Eezma squeals with excitement when she sees me. I know she has a little Capitol crush on me, but she'll have to resist herself. I have a baby on the way, there is no way I'm going to get involved with another woman.

"So, what's the plan?" I ask Vera. She is my mentor while Jacob is Alexis's.

"For now, we eat. We can talk more in depth when we get to the Training Center. Just enjoy yourself while you can, you never know how much time you have left."

D1 Female- Alexis Urie (17):

I'm a tribute. I am a tribute. This thought has yet to sink completely into my mind. I know that it is for the best, but still. I'm going to be fighting to the death. Oh well, at least I've escaped my father. I go to my room and throw open the closet. I settle on a long sleeve shirt. It isn't cold, but I like to keep the scars and bruises from my father hidden as much as possible. I meet with Jacob, Vera, and Eezma in the living room. They stand up and we all go to the dining room where we find Ron playing with his locket. Eezma squeals (weirdo) and Ron looks up. I see him cringe, and he greets Vera. It's already been decided (I'm not sure when) that my mentor will be Jacob and Vera will be Ron's. Which is fine, because she scares me anyways. I load up a plate of food and start to talk to Jacob, but he beats me to the punch.

"What's your token?" he asks.

"It's my mom's wedding ring," I say quietly.

"Oh, well it's pretty. Is she proud of you for volunteering?" he says.

"She's dead," I reply. This is going to be one hell of an awkward train ride...

AN: There you have it! I hope you guys like it! Please review, it makes me super happy and when I'm happy, I update quicker! Thanks for reading! :D
