After hours of waxing and hair cuts, all the tributes were ready to meet their stylists and get their costumes on. This year the costumes for district 2 were gold plated with winged helmets.
(I don't know how to describe them so heres the photo lol)
Clove walked out of her dressing room in her costume with an almost disgusted look on her face. She walked over to Cato who was standing in a matching costume. "Do we really have to wear these?" said Clove "We look ridiculous." Cato who had been trying not to laugh said "Hey at least were not wearing that" He pointed to Glimmer and Marvel who were wearing a hot pink dress with a feathery frill. Clove looked at Cato then back at Glimmer and Marvel and held back laughs. "They look so stupid oh my god." said Clove after bursting out in laughter. Cato burst out into laughter too and said "They really do." Glimmer and Marvel started walking towards them so they pulled themselves together and stopped laughing. "Hey guys what's up" said Marvel. "Are you guys okay you look really red?" said Glimmer. Clove and Cato looked at each other with huge smiles on their faces before Cato burst into laughter once again. Clove still trying desperately to pull her self together said "Sorry about him. Hes just...nervous." Glimmer and Marvel shared a confused glance at each other. "One moment" said Clove. She turned around and grabbed Cato's arm pulling him across the room. She instantly started laughing and slapped his arm. "Right in front of them Cato! You lost it right in front of them!" she said merely holding back tears from laughing. "Sorry" said Cato who also was nearly crying of laughter. "They just look so stupid" he said. "I know but still" said Clove who had nearly cooled off at that point. "Tributes, report to your carriages." said a loud female automated voice from overhead. "Ok lets go" said Clove. The two of them who had completely cooled off and pulled themselves back together walked over to their carriage and got on. Brutus has told them to look very grim and "above it all" to make them look strong and like they were "the real competition" though some hope of that might have been lost during the laughing incident. After about 3 minutes of anxiously waiting there the carriages set off. District 2 was second after district one which causing them to have to pull themselves together all over again. Both of them held their hands out to wave at the massive audience once they first got out. After about 10 seconds they set their hands back down and simply just looked around at the audience without any expression. They looked at each other and made eye contact for around 5 seconds before 'returning to reality' and carrying on looking at the audience. They suddenly heard the crowd go wild only to see on the tiny screens the district 12 tributes. They were on fire, literally. Rage filled both Cato and Clove's body. The district 12 tributes held each other's hands and put them up high in the air. "How cringy" Clove thought. After listening to President Snows short speech the carriages returned to the massive hallway that led to the apartments. While talking to their stylists the district 12 tributes walked by. Both Clove and Cato gave them a death stare look before the 'district 12's' got dragged up to their apartment. Brutus and Enobaria came and took Clove and Cato up to their apartment on the second floor. After dinner, right before Clove and Cato were about to go to their room's Cato whispered "What do we do about them?" "Easy" Clove whispered back "We kill them first" Cato smiled at her. Clove smiled "Goodnight" she whispered. "Goodnight" whispered Clove back before they both went separate ways into their rooms.
