Hey, here is training day one, featuring Tasi, Galinda, Ribbon, Callum, and 3rd Person!

So close to the Games!

3rd Person POV

The tributes stand in a circle around Tanna, the instructor for training. Ribbon smoothes out the creases in her pants, waiting for everyone to arrve. Callum stands there, arms crossed. Spiral shifts her weight from foot to foot nervously. Julius stands still, looking only half awake. Glint smirks, arms crossed, silently eager to start.

Mila and Kendrick walk in next, hand in hand, but immediately release their grip on each other when Glint's eyes wander to them suspiciously.

Serena walks in confidently, having done all this before, she already knows exactly what to do. Tim follows her, walking slowly with his head down.

Azgaro and Acacia stand patiently in front of Tanna, Azgaro occasionally cracking jokes and mimicking Azurei (A/N It will never get old...)

Ben and Orchid walk in, thinking about how they would of skipped training if there was a choice.

Brook walks in, holding Motrid's hand to lead him. They stand by Glint, who is thinking about nine gazillion ways to kill Motrid.(A/N Wow...)

Tasi walks in next, looking huge compared to everyone. He doesn't say a word to anyone, just stands in his place as an Avox pins the number seven on his shirt. Galinda skips in after Tasi, much to Azgaro's amusement.

Azura and Gyrke enter the room, Azura grinning wickedly at the site of all the weapons. Gyrke looks...tired.

Dixie walks in with her mentor; the mentor carrying Bradley. Dixie takes her place as her mentor sets a screaming Bradley down next to her. Bradley is desperately trying to crawl away, the poor thing.

Tanna checks her watch, waiting for the District Ten tributes to show up. Training starts at ten, and it's presently ten o' five.

Jackson and Cal rush in, knowing that they are late. Glint gives them a look for cutting away five minutes of her precious training time, or, more likely, destroying time.

After going through a long list of rules, the tributes can go train.

Tasi Merkava POV

As soon as we are allowed to go, as if instinct, I head over to axes. I've been chopping down trees all my life.

There are moving dummies for us to practice on. I can easily take off the dummy's head, but I don't think I'd ever be able to completely take out a human.

I hear talking behind me and turn around. Standing right there are two Career tributes, Mila and Kendrick, from District Two. They walk up to me.

"I'm not interested in being a Career, don't waste your time." I say immediately. They look disgusted.

"And, you think we are?" Mila says, disgusted. "Please, don't be silly."

"What do you mean?"

"We're making an alliance to get rid of the Careers. We hate them. Now, would you like to join? We could use your strength." Kendrick says. I nod, thinking.

What they know is that I have much phsyical strength. What they don't know is that I'll be of no use to their 'alliance', because I couldn't completely take out a human with it.

But, I guess joining would be better than going solo.

"Fine, I'm in." I say finally. I shake hands with Mila and Kendrick and they walk off.

And then I go back to axes, thinking of home, thinking of Hope.

Ribbon Lakey POV

I don't want to be here.

Everything is really pointy and scary, nothing like back home, except the scissors. But, they don't even have a scissors station here.

So, I just stand really still in my place, waiting for someone to take me home.

I don't want to play this Game. I pass. It's not my turn yet.

Can't we play "Monopoly" instead?

Then, there are two girls begind me. Dixie from Eleven and Orchid from five, I think those are their names.

"C'mon, Ribbon. Wanna go look at flowers with us?" Orchid asks. I nod and she takes my hand and leads me to a station with a sign that says 'edible plants'.

"Okay, Ribbon, what you do here is you guess which plants are safe to eat, then the trainer will give you a score. If you get some wrong, you stay here and the trainer will help you learn. Okay?" Dixie says. I nod and take the test.

There are a lot of pretty berries, so I think they are safe to eat.

"No, Ribbon, don't eat those-" Dixie starts.

"Why? They look so good!"

"Ribbon, please remember those are poison." Orchid says sweetly.

Anyways, I sort the plants into safe and not safe-

And get everything wrong. (A/N :( Ribbon is so cute!)

Callum Grell POV

I shakily throw a knife at the target, making sure not to hit anywhere higher than a five. I don't want any of the tributes to notice me, and if they do notice me, I want to look weak.

Then they won't see it coming when they have an arrow straight through their heart.

Anyways, I keep throwing knives at the target, trying to stay below radar. Honestly, i'm really not good at knives, but I plan to shock everyone with my training score by using axes and bow and arrows.

I really have to win these Games. Grace is sick, in bed with the flu. If I win, I can heal her, I can move us into a better house, I can get a better life for all of my District. And, if I do happen to die (which I don't plan on doing), I can't see many people heartless enough to kill my partner, Ribbon. Except Glint, maybe... Or Azgaro. but, I'm hoping to get them out of the Games fast.

Galinda Glassman POV

I wonder around the big room, I don't know what to do.

Everything's so shinyyyy...

I can't resist running to the shiniest thing that catches my eye: a knife. I run other and grab it.

"Ow!" I squeal, and put it down. The guy next to me, Callum, laughs.

"I'd suggest you don't go around stabbing yourself."

I roll my eyes and leave.

From that point, I just walk around, occasionaly feelinng the cool metal weapons. This place is really boring... what am I supposed to be doing again?

Ooh, shiny...

3rd Person POV

Glint stays mostly at swords, tearing dummies apart. She dances around it, slashing it to pieces. The Gamemakers keep a careful eye on her.

Sprik sits on a ledge for most of the day, occasionally standing up to stretch, then walking over to swords. He'll sometimes go to edible plants.

Mila and Kendrick walk around, making allies. They have grouped together Tasi, Callum, Azura, and themselves to stand up against the Careers. They also went to knives.

Serena finds a scythe and tears everything apart, showing off.

Tim tries a bunch if weapons... and fails. At least he tried...?

Acacia tries her hand at a lot off weapons, and is pretty good at most of them.

Azgaro practiced in his weak areas, and pretended to only be 'decent' at tridents.

Orchid spends her time in edible plants with Dixie and Ribbon, mostly trying to explain to Ribbon what things are poison and what things aren't.

Ben and Motrid stay together, talking and drawing with the paints from camoflauge.

Brook tries every station and finds she is really good at battle axes and throwing knives.

Azura joins Mila and Kendrick's alliance and does knives. She never misses. (A/N Anyone else reminded of Clove?)

Gyrke...sits.

Jackson tries every weapon, and stinks at every weapon. He eventually goes to camoflauge and isn't that horrible.

Cal ties lassos at the knot tying station. She tries a noose and does okay.

Dixie is with Orchid and Ribbon at edible plants.

Bradley stays where his mentor put him and cries the entire session.

Spiral throws knives...they don't hit the target..

Julius is rude to the other tributes and scares them a bit.

Zedphire Tomliss POV

Hm, what an interesting group of tributes.

I'll be sure to bring out the worst in all of them.

And, for name's sake: But it's all about the odds, right?

Whew, this chapter took a long time.

Did it pay off? *hint, hint*

So close to the Games! Here's what we have left:

Training Day 2

Private Sessions

Training Scores

Interviews

GAMES!

Unless you want me to do the Hovercraft rides...

You can tell me that in a review, by the way.
