I'm going to skip around with the reapings, too, just because there are so many tributes. I'll let you know if your tribute is going to be a bloodbath (I'm choosing randomly), and I won't give them an introduction. Sorry, but there's so many tributes!

Danielle Summers' POV
I wince as my straightener burns me. When I release it, I'm disappointed. My wavy, dark brown hair just won't straighten. I slip on my bracelet that has a seashell charm. This is my favorite accessory. When my friend moved to District Four, she sent this to me as a gift. I decide to leave my hair and get dressed. Then it's off to the city square for the reaping.

Austre Mason's POV
I fan myself as best as I can in the square. There are others my age that gather around me. I told everyone at school my plan to win the Games. Well, I didn't tell them all my tricks, but I told everyone I was going to win. That should be enough.

Aurora McQueen's POV
Our escort, Blue Pepper, pulls the first name out. "I volunteer!" I shout. Some people say I'm too young to volunteer, but I turn a deaf ear to them. My grandmother has been training me for this moment ever since my parents died. I give a shake of my auburn hair and walk onto the stage with grace.

Mace Andrews-Ajax's POV
Two more girls volunteer. Austre and Danielle. I don't recognize any of the three. I shrug it off. I don't need to remember. Victors don't remember the faces of the ones they've killed. Then it's time for the boys.

Rancore Haron's POV
A boy in my grade volunteers. I don't know him, really, but I've seen him around. His name is Mace. I move my golden blonde hair out of my hazel eyes. Next thing I know, I'm volunteering for the Games. I walk onto the stage, feeling and looking confident. But as the next name is called, the reality of what I've just done sinks in.

I've had no real training for the Games, and I'm pretty shy. If I have any chance of surviving this, I'll have to get with the Careers. That shouldn't be hard, unless they see how awful I am with weapons.

Lenny Rain's POV
"I volunteer!" I'm very excited. I volunteered before anyone else. I heard in the 49th Games, two boys fought for a spot in the Games.

Danielle Summer's POV
"Bye, guys. I'll see ya soon. I promise to give you a good word in the Capitol, dad. Maybe they'll finally move us there, huh?" My dad's dream has always been to live in the Capitol. He works in the Nut, so he really wants to do stuff like that in the Capitol.

"Goodbye, Danielle. I love you," I hug my parents and they leave.

Austre Mason's POV
"Well, I guess this is it."

"I guess so. Enjoy the food for me. I hear it's extravagant."

"I'll try. And I'll see if I can send it back to you guys," I hug them one more time before the guard comes and leads them away.

Aurora McQueen's POV
"I'm going to miss you so so so so much. You know that, right?"

"I know. I'll miss you, too, Aurora." I give my mom one last hug before she has to leave. Then I'm lead out to the train.

Mace Andrews-Ajax's POV
I will not show emotion. My goodbyes are short, fast, sweet, and almost robotic. Hug, I'll miss you, wave. Hug, I'll miss you, wave. Over and over. Redundant. Redundant. Over and Over.

When everyone is gone, I still have a few minutes before I have to get in the train. I ask the guard if I can be alone for my last few moments before they take away everything I have.

Rancore Haron's POV
I don't remember my goodbyes. It's all a blur of grief, minor tears, and somehow I manage to get a bruise on my shin. I must have tripped on the stairs into the train, because when I come into focus again we're in the dining car, and I'm holding ice to my leg.

Lenny Rain's POV
The meal they set in front of me is bigger than what I've ever had. Steak and vegetables in a creamy sauce, a spicy salad with a light dressing, a crunchy pastry that fills my mouth with a lemon cream when I bite into it. I enjoy every bite, eating everything put in front of me but still pacing myself. I need to stay healthy.

I want to send out a special thanks to Headmund! I'm so very glad you submitted a tribute. But I wish Edmund had done one. I like him better ;)
