So I decided to do this chapter differently, underlined will be Ceaser Flickermanspeaking and bold will be Claudius Templesmith While normal text is subtext and italicized is the tributes thoughts.


Welcome everyone to the 78th annual Hunger Games Opening Ceremony! I'm Ceaser Flickerman and I am just bursting with excitement! The tributes are getting prepared for their chariot ride, Claudius do you have any thoughts?

Hopefully the crowd loves the costumes this year as much as the last few years, Ceaser. District 12's stylists, Cinna and Portia, have inspired all other districts and the costumes have gotten so much better!

And here comes District 1 with their tributes, Kim Crawford and Milton Krupnick!

Kim looked stunning in her costume; it was just a plain white elegance dress with pink gems sewn on the top half of it. It had a sweetheart neckline and one inch thick straps that crossed in the back with four inch high heels that were magenta pink but barely seen because her skirt was so long. Her hair was curled and the left side was pinned back with pink streaks in it. She had a glitter design done on the left side of her face with heavy purple eye shadow and deep red lipstick. As for Milton, he had on a purple tuxedo on with lavender gems all around it. His hair was spiked up and he had an artificial earring on his right ear. Under his jacket, he had on a white dress shirt with a yellow number 1 on his left side that glittered in the light. He had black metallic cowboy boots on and black eyeliner on. I feel like a princess! Kim thought while Milton thought I look so much like a girl, I hate my costume!

Kim looks absolutely stunning! What do you think Claudius?

Absolutely wonderful! And here comes District 2 around the bend with their tributes, Troy Bolton and Sharpay Evans!

Troy felt stupid in his costume. He had on a tan dress shirt that didn't button until his lower stomach, so it showed his chest, and the sleeves stopped at his elbows. He had on brown slacks and deep brown boots on that came up to his ankles. He had on a brown fedora with a deeper brown band on it, he also had a belt. On his belt, he had an artificial gun and a whip that he was supposed to crack when they got toward the middle of the line. Sharpay, however, loved her costume. She had on a plain grey t-shirt on that was underneath a leather jacket with leather pants on and ankle-high leather boots on. Her hair was done to the side in a loose ponytail and she had little to no make-up on. On her belt, she had an artificial sword and gun on it, her sword she was to take out when Troy took out the whip. They did as they were told; Troy got out his whip and cracked it so loud District 13 probably heard it, which made the fans crazy. Sharpay flipped her sword and caught it behind her and lunge it at Troy's throat. This made the fans wild for more. Although, District 1 looked furious, why didn't we do something that big? Kim thought.

Wow! Dinner and a show! I hope there are whips in the arena for big guy over there! Claudius?

Wow, just wow! It reminds me of a show I watched a couple of nights ago; I can't remember the name though.

And with that, here comes District 3, Isabella Garcia-Shapiro and Ferb Fletcher!

District 3's costume was simple yet extravagant. They both wore a one piece suit that was navy blue and had wires on it. Ferb's short brown hair was spiking up everywhere; Isabella's was in a military style ponytail. They just wore grey trainers and had a belt with remotes and gadgets on it. Isabella was really nervous, she wouldn't stop shaking so Ferb reached his hand out for her to hold and she accepted. When they held hands, the wires on their clothing sent sparks all around them, one piece of lightning zooming across their bodies. They looked just as shocked as the audience while the two fourteen year olds had a blast shooting smiles, waving, and blowing kisses; something their rivals in front of them didn't do at all.

Stunning! Amazing! Wow! Think we could have another set of Lovers going to the Games?

Nah, judging by the Reapings the district we need to watch the love in is District 10 for the brother and sister. Oh my! Here comes District 4 with Cody Martin and Maya Bennett!

Oh my was right, they looked amazing. Cody was wearing sparkling blue shorts that had a black stripe going down the left side. He carried a fishing pole in one hand and some sort of fish in the other. His hair was slicked to the right and he had on a pair of flip-flops completing the outfit. He also had on no shirt which made the girls swoon over him. Maya on the other hand was beautiful; wearing a flowing aquamarine dress that hugged her curves until her ankles which then it fanned out. The top of her dress was sparkly, like Cody's shorts, and had a low-cut neckline with no straps. Her hair was in messy curls that reached her shoulders with an orange flower in her hair. Her make-up had heavy blue eye shadow from her eyeliner to her eyebrows, her eyeliner going out and pointing upwards while her eyelashes were already big and noticeable. She had on tan lip-gloss and blue tattoos up her arm.

She is almost begging all the boys to attack her now!

I don't know if she would like that very much, she volunteered to save her boyfriend from going into the Games, don't you pay attention to the Reapings?

… Anyway, here comes District 5, Mason Greybeck and Harper Finkle!

Harper even felt stupid in what she was wearing, and that says a lot. She was wearing a grey jumpsuit and a headset that was supposed to be a satellite. She had a black cape on that trailed behind her and it had wires all around it. They weren't like District 3's wires though, they were bright red and hideous. Mason was wearing the same costume yet somehow he looked a lot better. First, he didn't have the satellite on his head, he had a chain necklace with a satellite on it but his hair was grey and he looked like their mentor, Beetee somehow.

No comment.

Anyway here comes District 6 with Luther Waffles and Ginger Falcone!

They looked much better than the District before them, much better. Luther loved his costume, with his crazy personality and all his costume brought that out. Starting with his hat, which was a helicopter hat with the propellers on the top of his head to his train attendant uniform to the rollerblades he had on as shoes. Ginger's costume was different but it still stood out; she was dressed as a district escort. She had on a purple bob wig and a dress that came down to her knees. She had on five inch heels on and heavy make-up, like all the escorts.

She looks like a district escort!

Really? She IS a district escort!

… Okay well anyway here comes District 7 with the two boys, Luke Ross and Chad Cooper!

Luke is dressed as a tree, a handsome one. With his brown slacks, brown dress shirt and forest green tux jacket. He has a crown made of real leaves and bracelets going up his arm resembling bark. The shoes he has on are black, resembling the soil, and he has makeup on. The makeup he has on is all forest green and makes his face unseen except for his dazzling eyes and white smile. Chad, however, is a lumberjack. Complete with a red and black flannel shirt, blue jeans, and boots he also has a baseball cap on. On his belt, he has his axe and a knife. The make-up he has on just gives him some fake bruises and cuts from all the years of working. I need to make an impression, Chad thought. So he picked up the axe and held it up, declaring him as a champion. He smiled and winked at the ladies and made sure to be the center of attention. Luke was disgusted by him, we are fighting to the death and you like these people! Were his thoughts.

A lumberjack and his tree! How original! How creative! How-

District 7y? Anyway, here comes our textiles district with Olivia White and Ray Beech!

Olivia looked great in her costume. She was wearing a short dress with a turtle neck neckline that was made of a fabric that was like white carpet, she also had on a sweater that was like a thin curtain. She was wearing slippers of silk and her hair had bits of Burlap sack braided in it. Ray looked a little bit under her, but still stunning. He had the same black curtain like material but as a shirt. It was see through which made the girls in the room swoon over him, like they weren't already. His blonde hair having burlap in it also and as for shoes, he was wearing slippers. To accessorize, he had on a white silk scarf on. Ray wanted to try to kiss her, to make her know his feelings for her but he knew she didn't feel the same way, she had Wen back home.

If I didn't know any better, I would think he liked her…

Anyway ah! Here come the District 9 tributes, two 12s!

Gabe and Jo were enemies, despised one another, and couldn't stay in the same room for more than 30 seconds. Here their stylists wanted them to hold hands and act like friends. Gabe was wearing tan overalls with a black undershirt on. The thing that struck everyone wild was the headgear he had on. It was a crown that was made of wheat that wrapped around his head; Jo had a headband made of it. She had on a dress that went down to her ankles with puffy sleeves that she wanted to rip off. Her dress was blue and had a golden weed flowing up her right side and she had a pair of ballerina slippers on. They did as they were told and held hands, smiling and waving like children.

That girl is adorable! I just want to eat them up!

Eh, let's move on. Here come the brother and sister of District 10, Jackson and Miley Stewart!

Jackson looked over at his sister who still had the look on her face that wouldn't let you read her thoughts. Her outfit was a stunning, black and white one piece that was connected to cowgirl boots with a black headband in her hair, pulling it back out of her white-covered face. Jackson looked different from her, he was her owner. He had on a cowboy hat and flannel shirt with jeans and knee high cowboy boots on. His bandana covered his face until his eyes where the girls could see his dark blue gems. His image was mysterious yet troubled while Miley's was broken and someone Jackson looked after. Jackson then did something to impress the crowd. He got out of the chariot and jumped onto one of the horses in the front. Miley got his message and soon accompanied him on the one beside him. The crowd went crazy, showering them with flowers and love. Jackson just kept his head down so no one could see his face, the way he wanted it to be.

Look at them! Talented couple of kids aren't they?

Couldn't agree more Ceaser! Here comes District 11 right around the bend with our other set of 12 year olds!

Fixing her hair, Chyna was led out to the platform. She smiled right as the light hit her and Fletcher as the audience cheered. Her dress was made of and was the colour of cotton. Her hair was in two braids as it usually is and had some streaks of white in it which made her look like an angel. Fletcher on the other hand was in all black cotton with his hair sticking up in the front. They looked like opposites yet still represented their District.

Devil and Angel I assume?

*facepalm* Oh my, here come the superstars District 12! Wonder what they'll be doin this year!

As if on cue (even though it was) Sarah and Ethan came riding down the lane. To much disappointment, Sarah was wearing a white dress with pearls attached to the outlines of the skirt and the sweetheart neckline with no signs of her catching on fire. She also had on white ballerina flats and a little bit of white make-up on. Ethan was wearing an all black down to his shoes, he had on black eyeliner and his hair was done back, he doesn't look like he'll catch on fire either. Once they reached the middle they both burst into flames for a few seconds and then everything that was white on Sarah was black, Ethan vice versa. The crowd was wild, shouting their name, chanting their name, throwing roses, taking so many pictures it blinded them!

Holy cow! We have three amazing costumes, 2, 3, and 12!

Wait a minute, Claudius, we still have District 13 with Cecelia Jones and … the other dude.

District 13 was known as the free land so Gunther and Cece's stylists thought of the old country of America, the Land of the Free. Gunther and Cece were dressed in the American colors, red white and blue. Gunther was wearing white pants with a blue stripe down both sides of his legs. He was wearing a white dress shirt and a red, sparkly vest over it. He also wore Uncle Sam's hat, with all the colors on it and white stars. Cece was decked out in red, white and blue too. She had on a sparkling blue skirt that went down to her knees. She wore a lacy dress shirt with the same sparkling red vest on over it. She wore white, knee high boots and a white and blue striped headband that pushed her red curls away from her face. Both tributes had the American flag pattern tattooed across both arms, showing off their spirit.

Red, white and blue! So original if I may say, I didn't even remember America until tonight!

Well, that's all the tributes for this year's Hunger Games! They will train hard for the next few days and then we will see them for the Pre-Games interviews hosted by the one and only Ceaser Flickerman! See you then folks, now to President Snow for his speech for the tributes. After, back to your programs.


Yay! Hope it wasn't too long for you, I spent all of today making it (its 48 paragraphs long!) and I hope it wasn't that confusing. Are you sponsoring a tribute? Well, here are 4 questions and a bonus one from this story and something else, if you get them right; your tribute will be delayed from dying (if they will…)

The questions are:

Who does Sharpay volunteer for?

Which district has two boy tributes?

In District 7, who is their escort?

The girl tribute in District 8 has a ritual with her friends, what is it?

Bonus question: What movie did Troy and Sharpay dress up as in this chapter? Do you know what characters from that movie?

Hope you liked this update, feedback is appreciated!
