A/N-ok so the next 48 chapters are going to be short. The first 12 are going to be each district's reaping, the next 24 are going to be each tribute saying goodbye, then the next 12 after that are going to be each district's mentor on the train, and I don't know what's going to happen after that. Haven't planned that far ahead. Ok here's the chapter
(People have gathered in square. Everyone is looking anxious and excited. After everyone is gathered and silent the District 1 escort, Bermuda Bittercross, steps up to the microphone)
Bermuda-welcome. Happy hunger games!
(Crowd cheers)
Bermuda-now before we get to our tribute selections we have a film for you from the capital
(Capital film plays)
Bermuda-now that that is finished we can select one courageous young man and woman for the honor of representing district 1 in the 81st annual hunger games. Ladies first(she walks over to the bowl, selects a name and walks back to the mic. She opens the paper)JOY MERCER
(The other kids in the crowd look disappoint. Joy looks really happy as she walks up to the stage escorted by peacekeepers)
Jumpason Puckett-(steps out of crowd)I VOLUNTEER!
Joy-no way! I'm competing in these games!
Jumpason-(disappointed, he walks back into the crowd)
Bermuda-now. Boys.
(All the boys in the crowd look anxious as she walks and selects a name from the boys bowl. She walks back to the mic and opens it)
Bermuda-EDISON MILLER
Eddie-YES! YEAH!
(The other boys look disappointed as he walks up to the stage escorted by peacekeepers)
Bermuda-shake hands you two,
(Joy and Eddie shake hands)
Bermuda-happy hunger games and may the odds be ever in your favor
(Everyone onstage walks into the justice building)
