Hi! Thank you to reviewers and readers for supporting my first fic! Since I'm so excited about this story, I decided to write this. Here! *hands story over*

Merida POV

All was silent. Then Emma, the little girl chosen for the reaping, cried out in relief and ran back to her mother in the crowd. The silent, grim guards escorted I to the stage. Tooth smiled, "Thank you to this wonderful girl who volunteered! What is your name?"

"Merida DunBroch."

"Everyone, a big hand for Merida DunBroch!" Emma big brother clapped really loud and whistled, along with her mother and herself. Tooth wasn't disheartened by that, in fact, she looked relieved. "Well, it's time for the boys…" Her words trailed off into a sigh. She reached into the bowl. She pulled out a slip. The whole crowd was holding its breath. You could have cut the tension with a knife. "Oh!" Unexpectedly, a sob arose in Tooth's throat. "Jackson Overland!" Oh, no. Overland. That's the same last name as the girl I saved! I looked to the back, and saw the person who I guessed was Jackson. His face was pale, and tears welled in his eyes.

"JACK! No, no no no no no!" Emma screamed out. I saved her just so she could lose her sibling… I hate fate.

Emma ran up to Jackson, hanging on to his legs. That snapped him out of his daze. "Emma… go back to mom. Please."

"NO! Not until you promise me… PLEASE! ANYONE! VOLUNTEER!"

It was silent. I was disgusted. Nobody would save the girl's sibling, after the girl had been saved? I called them some choice words under my breath. Some Capitol guards walked up and wrenched Emma off her brother. After glaring at the shiny black visors that the guards had on, he walked up, silent as the crowd. After a few minutes of me and Jackson staring down the crowd, Tooth spoke up. "Everyone, Jackson Overland!" This time, nobody clapped. At least they knew enough to do that. Humph.

After another nervous silence, Tooth spoke again. "It's time to draw victors now! Ladies first!" As she drew the slip, she looked at the previous three victors. Stoic Haddock was the oldest. He was stronger than a bull, and bigger. He had a HUGE red beard, and his hair in a braid. Next to him was his son, Hiccup, who hd been chosen when he was fourteen. It's been three years since then, and now he's seventeen. He's really skinny, with long brown hair. Next to him was a girl a year younger than him, Rapunzel Corona. She had short, mousey brown hair that was uneven on the ends, and kind green eyes. Hiccup and Rapunzel won in the same year, and they couldn't have done it without each other. With Rapunzel's ability to get almost anywhere and to disguise things well, and Hiccup's talent for inventing, they caught the people that were killed by them in deadly traps. Stoic just used pure strength.

Tooth pulled out the strip. Everyone knew who this one would be, we only had one girl champion. "Rapunzel Corona!" The pretty brunette walked up calmly. She had most likely been preparing herself for this moment for months. I glanced over at her, and she gave me a small smile. I smiled back. There were a few claps. "Well… it's time for the boys!" Tooth reached once again into the boy's bowl… and pulled out a slip. Stoic leaned forward eagerly, while Hiccup was leaning as far back as possible. Father or son… "Hiccup Haddock!" Stoic and Hiccup's faces fell, and the latter trudged up to the stage. All was silent, just relieved that it was over. Tooth smiled a big smile, "Happy Hunger Games! And may the odds be ever in your favor!"

Sol: this one turned out longer than I thought it would. But, I liked it. I'd like to do shout outs now:

LO: thank you! I'm really excited about this story!

Guest: thank you! Do you really think this is the best one? If so, than I really appreciate it. And I've always been a fan of Jarida.

udidntseeanythin: okay, thank you for the criticism! I'll try that when we get further in. And, I just like calling her Pippa, because she reminds me of Jamie's friend Pippa. Thanks for the suggestions!

Okay, conclusion of shout-outs. Next chapter is going to be a bit different… be prepared for a short but intriguing chapter! G'syr: phew! No line breaks this time… ahh… oh, and Sol? You forgot the disclaimer. Sol: Oh! Thank you, G'syr! I don't own the setting or any of these characters. Okay, done. G'bye, everyone!

*EDIT- changed Pippa to Emma in both chapters
