Here's the chariot rides. I decided to write this chapter a bit differently to normal!

Cameras, Lights, Action!

Well, doesn't everyone look interesting tonight folks! Now here comes the first district, I like there theme, don't you? We seem to have a Greek gods and goddesses theme going on here!

Xeno POV

I stay remotely still during the chariot ride, I don't really care as to what everyone thinks of me. The girl next to me… Er Jacinda? She tries to smile weakly, making a small attempt of getting the crowd to warm to her, waving occasionally.

Everyone's screaming around us, cheering and throwing flowers and glitter. Personally I find it annoying, but I just ignore it. I stay still and silent, the whole time thinking about how itchy and ugly this over the top tunic I was wearing was, not even to mention the awful metal pointy leafy wreath on my head, poking me and scratching me at every other moment.

And here's District Two! My what marvellous outfits they have on, it really seems to represent there district. The theme of Masonary running strong with these metal studded, leather medieval outfits!

Saffra Fairborn POV

I feel so uncomfortable, in some kind of medieval archers leather clad dress, it has flames up the bottom. I'm wearing Celtic sandals, the same as Cassius. We also wear matching bracers, gold and scaled. It's a well put together outfit, just pretty uncomfortable. Even so I know that I look good, and I know the crowd appreciate the outfit.

I grin and wave to the entire crowd, Cassius appears to do the same, we've been working up for this moment all our lives. I get such an adrenaline rush travelling across the stage to the front, the crowd cheering our names.

They love us.

Look at that chariot, that must be district three! Incredible I tell you! Both of their outfits appear to be… Flashing! Wow! Look at the lights on those outfits! That's incredible! Really showing off the Technology side of District three there!

Pryce Alexander POV

Wow these outfits are cool, I turn a few times, the radioactive looking glow illuminating the stage, next to me the quiet Arianna wears a dress, covered In LED lights, there all flashing different colours. Our outfits are definitely making an impression on the crowd, I smile broadly and put my fist in the air, causing the audience to cry out even more.

The world outside of District three was incredible.

Here comes District Four! Look at that Fishing Inspired outfit, do you reckon that's real seaweed in their hair? I really hope not!

Travis Oceanous POV

I sigh sadly, noticing around that all of the audience were cheering for us, just because we were going to fight to the death, it's sickening. I try to put on a smile, and wave calmly to the audience, they've gone wild, screaming out the tributes names who are passing by. It's crazy, and I feel utterly stupid, seaweeds weaved into my hair and I'm wearing a aquamarine suit, small white seashells weaved into the fabric. It is honestly awful, and I genuinely think the seaweeds real, unlike everything else in the Capitol, as it is giving off an awful odour.

Now we're onto District Five, Power! They are quite matching to the District three dresses this year, eh? That'll surely have some kind of effect on the crowd!

Javed Grissol POV

I squirm uncomfortably in the suit I'm in, it's a silver silk suit, so you'd imagine it to be quite comfortable, it has lights swirling around me, looking as if they're a metre from me. I admit it's quite cool, but when you're too overwhelmed, uncomfortable and terrified it's quite hard to appreciate the effects of the outfit.

I barely notice the crowd screaming around me, nor Terra, who's trying her best to keep a brave face. I just stand there, hunched and scared. I just don't know what to do, am I supposed to wave, oh it won't matter anyway, I doubt people will sponsor the thirteen year old bookworm…

District Six, wow, look at them, they appear to be dressed as… Wait, yes, that is a car! There dressed as cars guys, what a brilliant idea from the stylists for this District, the crowd are loving it!

Blaise Tanner POV

I hate this outfit almost as much as I hate the capitol. It's ridiculous, not only is it stupid that we could barely fit in the carriage, the aluminium mini cars scratching against the sides, but also even though it was aluminium, it was extremely heavy, I mean, my legs were already shaking and I'd only been wearing it for about five minutes, Charlize looked as if she was struggling too.

The Capitol sickens me. They are cheering, screaming our names as if we're there idols, yet all but one of us is going to die, why should that be fair? It shouldn't. There monsters.

Every single one of them.

Here comes the lumber District, and wow, they are looking fabulous, the crowd are going crazy for them! It looks as if they're wearing real bark!

Eilonwy Mavers POV

I turn slowly, making the crowd cry out "District Seven" in a chant, I am secretly loving this, the Hunger Games are an awful, awful thing. But I can't deny that this part is truly amazing, getting treated to go off to fight to the death is a definite perk…

I look down at my deep brown dress, it appears to have the texture of bark, even though it doesn't feel like bark at all. The best part of the outfit are the hats me and Nate are wearing, mine is like antlers, but made of mahogany bark, it branches out of the main headband in spirals and other pretty patterns, it looks incredible. Then Nate is wearing something that appears to be a samurai helmet, just that it's all made of bark, in fact he does look like a tree warrior. I guess they were going for some kind of 'fighting for their district' theme.

Now, now, textiles, District Eight are known for their outfits, and they have not let themselves down! Look at that! Boy are the outfits tonight both interesting and incredible!

Thalia Lucas POV

I wonder what my parents are thinking, my dad especially. He always had a big value of factory working for the textiles industry, I don't know whether he'd be proud or not to see me representing that value throughout the games. My mother, well, I think she'd be proud, but more devastated, it was her worst nightmare for me to go into the games.

I look at Seth, who has a matching outfit to me, we're both wearing patchwork, me a dress and him a suit, they look marvellous, simple but effective. We are wearing a series of different materials, all patched together, and the different colours make out different pictures. I have to thanks Merli, our stylist, after, this is an incredible dress.

The amount of people seated in the stadium which we are riding through is incredible, not even half of the seats would be filled if the whole of District eight were to sit here.

District Nine are really looking very traditional, there suits are very representative, they actually look like grain, wow, folks. All the districts seem to be going out of their way to impress us this year.

Xavier Venture POV

I can hear the boo's coming from my side of the crowd, they all chant 'Avis' or 'Venture to lose!' and I don't even bother trying to make a good impression, just my family name has scared off any kind of kind of sponsor. I hate how the Capitol are wishing for me to die, just because of a name. What impression does a name even have? It's just a word, it shouldn't represent anything.

Me and Avis are dressed in a blur of yellow and orange, put together surprisingly well to actually give the effect of wheat rippling in the wind. Mine's like a plaid shirt, collared at the top. Hers is a dress with stripes of different colour, as we go through the different light settings our clothes move, making the colours jump and dance. We both also wear cowboy hats and boots, too give off a cool vibe, or that's what Triffy, our stylist, had said.

And we move onto District Ten, we have a lovely vintage farm theme going on here, the crowd seem to appreciate it, don't they look stunning!

Erica Wein POV

The crowd is utterly overwhelming, as is the stadium, the runway looks as if it's solid glass. It's honestly incredible. I smile and wave to the viewers and the crowd. I don't want to smile, I don't want to wave, but I want to show Cate that I'm okay, plus, I want to get sponsors, I need the help.

I stand in my vintage orange and brown plaid farm dress, my hair's in two plaits, and I'm wearing a choker with a sunflower on the front. All in all I really like it. Ever since the beginning of the train journey I've tried to avoid talking to the explosive Savoy, despite his many attempts to talk to me. He stands there now, making expletive hand gestures to a booing crowd. I feel slightly embarrassed, but at the same time I respect him, I wouldn't mind doing that to the Capitol once in my life.

Here comes District Eleven, my don't they look well… Agriculture-y, how impressive!

Surin Lee POV

Agriculture-y?! What a stupid way to describe what we're wearing, me and Angus both roll our eyes and try not to laugh as we pass through the crowd, we wave and do everything we got told to do by Rhani- our mentor. To do to get sponsors, blow kisses to the crowd, twirl in our outfits, which are basically a dress and a suit with a hat of fruit on our heads, and the gold stitching makes different types of fruit on the black dress/suit. It's quite elegant, taking away the giant bowl of fruit, luckily there all glued, otherwise I would have tipped them all off by now.

Eventually we reach the front with the other chariots, the crowd still screaming various names.

Last but not least District Twelve representing their Mining Industry, what a great finish to a great line up this evening!

Shannie Dilworth POV

I ignored my ridiculous outfit, we were both wearing black morph suits, that completely covered out faces, and a miners hat. I hand it to the stylist, it's a lot better than last year's outfit where they were naked and covered in coals. I think when I went into the stylists room I was dreading the outfits more than I was the games at that point.

I could barely see the hordes of crowds, chanting 'district twelve' repetitively after the previous district had passed through. The noise was deafening, not just the crowd but the interviewers voice booming through the speakers. I could make myself and Crown out on the big screen at the front of the stage. From what I can tell Crown is trying to play it cool like usual, waving his hand arrogantly… Can you wave your hand arrogantly? Somehow he manages to do it.

Well that wraps it all up! What an incredible line up of all the now it's time for the opening of the games!

President Snow POV

At twenty eight I'm the youngest president around. This was my second games to open personally, before that, my father was president and had opened them. I stand up, brushing the creases in my suit jacket, and walk to the microphone at the front of the balcony. The crowd roars with applause, but after a few moments, I raise my hand and everyone quietens.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." I shout to the crowd, initiating my power in a few words. "Today marks the opening of the thirty seventh Hunger Games. The Hunger Games are a reminder of how us, the Capitol, and the government, are rewarding to those who deserve it. But also a punishment for the rebellion that happened thirty eight years ago, you, tributes, are to have the honour to battle to the death, for one of you, to come out victor. And by this, I bid you. A Happy Hunger Games."

The crowd instantly starts applauding and cheering again as I turn and walk back to my seat. In the next ten minutes the Tributes have all filed out of the stadium, and are waiting to get to their rooms. I sit there until the tributes have left, then leave myself. The adrenaline of opening The Hunger Games still running through me.

Hope you enjoyed that!

The next chapter should be the start of training! Ooooo. :3
