A/N: Due to later story information in this chapter, the Opening Ceremonies will be split into parts. Thanks for all the comments also!

Enjoy!

"These games are going to be perfect. I can just feel it. Better than all the years I've seen from these games." -Jasper (District Eight Prep Team)

~Opening Ceremonies~

Part One

District one is first to appear out of the gates. Their smirks plastered to their young faces. The pair completely steal the shine away from district two riding up behind them. Literally. With their jeweled fashion, they sparkle against the spotlight.

Lexi Miller, the smallest of the pair, runs her long slim fingers across the jewels around her neck. Nothing holds the glowing ember stones together but backing that sticks onto her chest. The rosette pattern of silver, closest to resembling to a sparkling diamond. Lexi's stunning little diamond heels clink together so innocently. And to finish her look, a tiara with the same ember stones from her necklace. The silver and green. The colors that make Lexi Miller seem like the angel of the games.

On the other hand, Julian, the male tribune from district one has such a sexy look, that he seems to be almost contributing to the devil. His suit, blue like midnight indigo gives his hazel eyes a mysterious tint of chartreuse coloring. The velour fabric practically outshines the jewels with its sleek texture.

But the camera's attention goes towards district two who has changed their usual routine. Even though Apollo Lunor has repeated the lab-coat look, he wears a black tie and dress shirt underneath with tuxedo pants that fit him quite well. No one really notices the medical needles hiding under his sleeves until he takes his hands out of his pockets.

Arabella stands right beside him though. Her look, something never bothered to think about, is perfectly made to accomplish her curves. Lined up in columns and rows over lacey fabric is multi-colored pills. The lace reaches as far as her shoulders completing the heart shaped dress. Some pills fizz, mostly the purple and green, which leave rainbow streaks down her dress. It's been as if someone has spilled boiling water all over Arabella Hathaway. Her makeup pops out all of her features. The pink eye shadow that fades into various shades of light mauve with her white hair like a pearl.

District three is lighten up like the shops around the districts on reapings day. A layered dress, the color of willow is perfect for Amelia. The little yellow lights that flash through the fabric of her dress compliment the small, squared mirrors stitched to the bodice of her dress. And the mirrors in fact match Riley perfectly.

Riley White almost lightens up the entire City Circle with his mirrors that lay over top of his black suit. The reflections of the spotlights aren't nearly as bright as his smile though. The sly grin he shows off steals most of Amelia's attention. The crowd seems to love him. But the only flaw of his outfit is that the light beaming off his suit covers up a lot of his face. However, the crowd still screams his name.

Aurelia Loret wears a scaled blue dress with the tinted rust color added at the flared out bottom. The scales decrease in number at the bottom where they turn into a sudden curled fashion, much like waves. She has a sea-foam green shall hung across the crook of her shoulders and a veil in her hair that is made of fish netting and has scattered sea shells and dried starfish lying overtop. No one can really forget to add the train that resembles to a flowing freshwater stream.

Standing next to her is Safin Bayview. He wears a broad-shouldered suit with a sandy texture. Like Aurelia's veil, there is a netted cape over Safin's shoulder but it is much less tangled. There is meagerly a dyed blue color on the district four boy's suit. This in which retorts into a white foam colored substance at the end of the rich baby blue "water". But it is only noticed that it is circuited when the water shimmers and starts to move in motion as soothing as a lullaby.

But either way, this year district four is not a person or thing- it is a place. It is the beloved beach that everyone seems to love so much back at home. But to how is the Capitol supposed to know this?

District five is lively this year. Nan and Jeret with their black and white theme make them look two years older. Jeret, covered in microscopic equations and formulas, looks four feet taller. As the numbers spread out, they begin to increase in size. All of the multiple numbers make his snow white suit look like a jumpsuit which in reality it's not.

Nan Weatherall is much more unique. With her bright colored hair split into pigtails and her eyes as deep as her smiling facial expression. She wears a black dress very much relative to her little shadowed flats. The dress seems to be some sort of chalkboard. Yet it is not bulky or flat, it curves around her body as any other fabric would do. Mathematical equations, larger than the ones sewed onto Jeret's suit, are written in white chalk all around her body.

Toth Attaway and Reed Pokey appear next on the screen in their district six chariot. Toth has her short hair in a ponytail, the back is tapered and looks like it's been cut off with a butcher's knife. But the perfect layers still reveal a lot about Toth. Her dress is all glass and oddly has a spiked train at the end. Toth's dress is uniquely made out of test tubes that look as much like a rock of crystals- spiked up and beautiful.

Reed goes down a different path though. He has black smeared powder covering the edges of his face and his hair is bulging up as if something has exploded into his face. Reed's white lab coat has green and blue stained patches all over it. Even if Reed looks realistic, it doesn't seem to steal the crowd away. District six seems to have split their ways and become two different personalities.

The next chariot, from district seven seems to be quite a riot. The way Shay Auburn rides on Ren Kirro's back shows the fun loving selves. As well the small pose goes with their outfit purpose. District seven tribute, Ren is wearing an outfit usually worn by most lumber jackers in his district. With the belt of supplies wrapped around his waist and the orange helmet hung on his head. Ren's climbing gloves held behind his back hold the little hitchhiker coming along for the ride- Shay Auburn.

Shay's hair is as if she ran through a forest of pine trees and cherry trees. The blossoms in her hair stick with the pines softly. She wears a long dress which fades from a dark corbeau shade to a lighter tanned shade. Shay wears a necklace made of mint leaves, with the large, orange, heart shaped leaf in the middle of her collarbone.

District eight is supposed to come next, but instead there is a sharp popping noise coming from the chariots at the front. It takes a few seconds for the cameras to adjust on the problem and then the capitol crowd bursts into screams when another circuit from the district four boy sparks off.

The crowd is not the only thing scared though, because the horse from the district five chariot brakes out into mental break down, bucking both Nan Weatherall and Jeret Pillar out of their chariot. Nan who is wearing her portable chalkboard screeches across the concrete pavement underneath her bringing the audience shrieks of ear bursting terror.

The district five horse hasn't seemed to calm down and a split second after the screeching noises, the wheel of the moving chariot heavily runs over Jeret Pillar's leg.

Static sounds and a grey blurry background fills the screen as the transmission goes off. It is like this for quite some time until a last minute weathercast comes on.

A/N: I don't ask much, just a little feedback would be nice. This chapter was much more interesting to write I must say, so I hope you find it better than the other chapters, as I did.
