Chariot Rides:

President Tycoon

I check my watch. Why haven't the cameras started rolling? They should of started a minute ago. I look over at Peyton Dorsey, the announcer for the Games, and see he looks anxious as well. "Do you know why they haven't started yet?" I ask.

"No, President," he answers. "I'm sure they'll start soon."

Finally, I hear the head cameraman start to count down. I clear my throat, and I hear Peyton do the same, next to me. "Ladies, and gentlemen," I say. "Welcome to the chariot rides for the One Hundred Thirty-Fourth Hunger Games. I'm your president, Leyland Tycoon, and this is this year's Hunger Games announcer, Peyton Dorsey.

Peyton starts speaking now. "Let's get these chariots rolling. In the first chariot we have Diamond Lupis and Twilight Ross of District One. Diamond is a beautiful seventeen-year-old girl who is dressed in a lovely multicolored, floor-length dress. Twilight is dressed in a multicolored tuxedo."

Now it's my turn. "From District Two we have Candy Lux and Venom Tryyne. The pair of them have gone with the traditional gladiator look. They have on matching headsets and full body armor."

"Next comes Ashleigh Thorpe and Devon Carter of District Three. Ashleigh and Devon have dressed up as electric circuit boards, with flashing lights. I have to say, they look pretty stunning."

"From District Four we have Lydia Alcove and Fusion Sanders. Lydia is a beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who has dressed up in a flowing blue dress. Fusion is a sixteen-year-old boy who is dressed up in a blue tunic."

"District Five brings us Evanna Rae Lynn and Griffin Synchez. Both of these lovely tributes are very young. Evanna Rae is only twelve, while Griffin is fourteen. The pair of them are dressed in what looks to be battery costumes."

"Next comes Catherine Mayberry and Crimson Barley of District Six. This District brings us two older tributes, this time. Catherine is sixteen, and Crimson is eighteen. The pair of them are dressed up as train conductors, something trains had many years ago."

"From District Seven we have Nikki Lowell and Dimitri Calzone. Nikki is dressed up as a traditional tree. Dimitri has gone with a lumberjack look. I guess I'm glad that District Seven has wavered away a little bit from the traditional tree."

"District Eight gives us the lovely Kaylee Stuart and the handsome Ryder Colette. The pair of them are dressed up in black jumpsuits with patchwwork quilts draped over them like capes."

"From District Nine we have Charisma Dayton and Isaac Lysander. Both of these tributes are on the older side, being seventeen and eighteen. They are dressed up in jumpsuits with sequins meant to represent grain."

"District Ten brings us a pair of siblings, Gloria and Lukas Zychh. It's very unfortunate that they were reaped in the same year. Gloria is wearing a horse costume, and Lukas is wearing a cow costume."

"Next comes Lucy Evans and Juno Young of District Eleven. Lucy is dressed up in a completely orange; clearly meant to portray an orange. Juno is dressed up all in green, with a stem on top of his head. He is clearly dressed up as a pear."

"Last but not least, we have the tributes of District Twelve, Simone Rose and Alec Leopard. Simone is dressed as coal, with a completely black costume. Alec is dressed as a coal miner."

Peyton ends the show, by saying, "Thank you everyone. Make sure to tune back in to watch the private training scores in three days. Good night!"

So there you go, chariot rides. Next chapter will start the first day of training, and after that will be the second day of training. :-)
