Joey- I HATE that Rue died. She's my favourite along with Katniss, Peeta, Prim and Gale. I even liked Foxface and Thresh. I have two other The Hunger Games/Wizards of Waverly Place stories that will be coming out. They all will be different from each other. The next one that will be coming out is called "To Hell And Back". I honestly am having a field day writing that one. I am addicted to it because I am trying to keep to the books but put it in any order I want to, yet make it my own. I am at the end of writing the Catching Fire part of it, and starting the Mockingjay part, where obviously I will make it completely my own. In that one, they are wizards and there's a twist at the beginning that involves Coin, Snow and Professor Crumbs. That's all I will say because it will spoil it. Plus The Hunger Games part of it is longer then this one's was. But Catching Fire is a faster pace because I sperate the deaths and they only have 14 days in the arena, and that's not including the bloodbath.

Chapter 2

"Katniss." Katniss chuckles as Alex walks over to her and gives her a hug, "Our luck sucks."

"I know."

"Peeta's not here right?"

"No he is not." Katniss smiles. Alex sighs in relief.

"Good." Alex slips onto Katniss' lap, before moving so her feet are in Katniss' lap, "Do you think Rue is?"

Katniss shrugs her shoulders, personally hoping she isn't.

It is the Tribute Parade, and all the tributes have already been pampered and cleaned up.

Alex's hair is in pigtails flowing down the front. She is wearing all black showing everyone she is no treat... yet.

"Ok you two." Eric Phoenix, Alex's and James' stylist, starts, "Your black dress and sweater and pants will burst into flames. It will not burn you."

Alex fights back a laugh. He's copying Cinna's work.

"Ok." Alex nods. No one can beat out Cinna. Alex thinks.

Alex and James climbs onto their carriage as it begins to move.

Alex hears Caesar begin to talk.

"And here comes District 1. It's too original. Their clothes are repeats from the 74th Annual Hunger Games."

Alex looks ahead of her to see that District 1 is dressed exactly the same as Glimmer and Marvel.

"There's District 2! Are they trying to copy Cato and Clove?"

Alex snorts every District besides 12 and 13 are wearing the same clothes as the 74th Hunger Games.

"Hello District 3!"

Everything is repeated until Alex hears Caesar let out a shocking chuckle.

"Wow. We have three returners. There is District 11's Rue..."

Alex's eyes widen as Katniss turns her head to see Alex's worried look.

"District 12's Katniss Everdeen..."

Alex sees Rue look behind her surprised to see Katniss and Alex.

"And District 13's Alex Russo. Now the three friends have to fight each other to live. We know they will not be able to pull the same stunt as the 74th and 75th Hunger Games."

~A&K~

It is the welcoming interviews and Alex is talking to Rue and Katniss after getting in trouble with Eric, which Alex just rolled her eyes and ignored him.

"I still think Snow had something to do with this." Alex claims her argument. There is no way in hell that all three of them are pulled back into the Games. There is just no way.

"Ask Coin." Rue whispers, "Ask her if your name really came up."

"Ok." Alex looks over her right shoulder to see Coin talking to Boggs, "I'll be right back." Alex walks over to the two and pulls them both aside, out of all hearing rage of the other tributes.

"What would you like Alex?" Boggs asks.

"Was my name really drawn or did Snow threaten you?" Alex asks in a whisper.

Coin bites her lip and sighs. She looks over her shoulders and looks back at Alex.

"Your name was but Rue's and Katniss' weren't. Snow wants you killed more than ever along with Rue and Katniss. You three are the causes of the uprising of each District. Snow threatened our lives. He said 'If Katniss, Rue and Alex are not drawned, lie and make them be the tributes. I want them dead.'"

Alex's eyes soften and a smirk grows on her face.

"He won't know what hit him..." Alex chuckles evilly while coin and Boggs gives Alex a weird look.

"What?" Boggs whispers. Alex snaps out of it and looks at the two adults.

"Oh, Kat, Rue and I plan to team up like normal. We are just going to grab a bag and flee. If we are separated, we will find each other." Alex answers simply.

"We should have known." Coin shakes her head with a smile, "But Alex, do everything you can to stay alive."

Alex nods.

"I will."

"Now get in line." Alex looks at the line to see only James and her left.

"Now please welcome, from District 13... James Smith!" Caesar calls. James walks on as Alex walks over to where the line once was, and leans against the wall.

Alex looks at the screen and suddenly feels history repeat itself.

"Is there a special girl back home?" Caesar asks James.

"No." James shakes his head.

"Do you have a crush?"

"Yes."

"Please don't tell me..."

"It's Alex Russo."

Alex feels her heart stop and her breath get caught. Alex's eyes widen and she doesn't even feel Coin grab her arms.

"Alex! Breathe!" Coin panics. But to Alex it's faint.

After 3 minutes, Alex snaps back to reality.

"And that was James Smith everyone!"

Alex turns to the stairs and just as James walks down the stairs Alex starts to charge at him but Boggs wraps his arms around Alex's waist and lifts her off the ground.

"LET ME AT HIM!" Alex shouts.

"And now. Please welcome the winner of the 74th and 75th Hunger Games... Alex Russo!" Caesar announces.

"Get up there Alex." Coin tells Alex. Alex narrows her eyes as Boggs puts Alex on her feet. Alex fixes her black and red dress and walks up the stairs in her red running shoes, but not before glaring at James.

~K&A~

Alex is sitting on the chair looking at Caesar.

"So what is it like being back her Alex?" Caesar asks.

"Oh, it's fun because I get to see Boggs, President Coin and you again." Alex answers with a forced smile that no one, but Katniss, Rue, Boggs and Coin knows that it's fake.

"Aww, thank you." Caesar smiles, "So is there anyone special back at home?"

"No. I'm more focused on taking care of my little brother because Justin is busy with work along with dad."

Caesar nods.

"So we all saw how you reacted when you saw Rue at that Tribute Parade."

Caesar points Alex at the screen behind them. Alex looks at see a clip of her, Rue and Katniss all looking at each other shocked.

"How did you react when you saw them? Like what was going through your head?" Caesar finishes.

"Well, I saw Kat on the train ride here. And my first thought was 'Oh god we are cursed.'" Alex answers, "Then when I saw Rue I thought 'Oh seriously? We are SERIOUSLY cursed, yet lucky.'"

"Why lucky?"

"Because we get to see each other again. Even if it is a fight to the death."

Caesar nods understanding Alex's side.

"So how old are you now?"

"I'm 14."

"Are you ready to start training tomorrow?" Caesar watches as Alex immediately smiles.

"Yup! I love the training part."

"Why?"

"Because I get to climb the net!" Alex claps her hands randomly while her smile grows.

Caesar chuckles.

"And that is Alex Russo everyone!"

~A&K~

Alex walks down the stairs and her eyes lands on James like a bullet locked on target.

Before Coin and Boggs could react, Alex runs at James and punches him in the face. Boggs pulls Alex away and lifts her off the ground like she's a football.

"Stop it Alex." Coin orders in a warning voice.

Alex takes a breath, closing her eyes. Boggs feels Alex calm down and puts her back upright.

"Now Alex, violence is not the answer." Boggs tells Alex, putting his hands on her shoulders.

"Ya, ya, ya. I was told." Alex rolls her eyes and looks at James, "Why did you say you like me? You have never met me before we were chosen to represent District 13."

"I pulled a Peeta ok?" James glares at Alex.

"So you were trying to make us look like 'star-crossed lovers'?"

"Yes." Alex looks at Coin with a sigh.

"What do you want us to do?" Alex asks Coin and Boggs, "You want us to do what Kat and Peeta did or..."

Coin bites her lip knowing Alex and Peeta loves each other. She doesn't want to blow it for them. But then again, this can give them supporters.

Please review.
