The area where we are all getting prepped and ready for the opening ceremony is absolutely packed. With the 48 tributes, their stylists and escorts down here, what did I really expect?

I turn to Lucy, "You know, with all of these outfits and floats, this looks like some kind of super early christmas parade."

Lucy giggles, "You're right! It's just a fancier version, plus there's no Santa."

I sigh, "I bet Steffie has a great christmas costume, I swear, she's changed outfit three times today. Her wardrobe must be huge!"

Just then Anna teeters over to us, trying not to rip her dress, just like the rest of us. It's actually really hard to have a conversation whilst wearing these, because we have to stay about a metre apart to keep our dresses from touching.

"Hey girls! There's a great snack table over by District F's area, they've got some delicious 5SOS decorated cupcakes."

"I can't be bothered walking all the way over there in this dress to get one..." Serena groans, grabbing a glass of punch from our Districts table, before reaching up to check if her hair is still in the tight bun we've all had styled for the ceremony.

I decide to take a few seconds to survey the giant space as my fellow District R girls check their hair, and do a bit of people watching. 

The one sound that invades my ears, is the sound of instruments tuning, the District O tributes must be jamming out on their float this year. And I can hear the loud voice of the flamboyant District U escort shouting at their tributes to stop touching up their outfits. It looks like an episode of Project Runway in that Districts' area.

I'm so busy watching as one of the District U girls throws a fit at their escort, that I completely miss the person heading towards me.

It's only when they're directly in front of me that I notice their presence.

"Want a sugar cube?"

"SHOOT!" I gasp, cursing under my breath as I blink a few times and focus on the hand outstretched to me, and then to who's hand it is.

Instead of reacting to my outburst, the person just continues, "They're supposed to be for the unicorns, but who cares? They've got years to eat sugar, whereas you and I... well, if we see something sweet, we'd better grab it quick."

I roll my eyes and take a sugar cube, "You rehearsed that, didn't you?"

They sigh, "Yeah, it's one of my pickup lines, Finnick Odair is my role model."

Have you all guessed who I'm speaking to by now?

It's Jimmy.

I shrug, "Fair enough, he's a real man."

Jimmy coughs, "Well, um, he is fictional...but it is true, I mean, they wont let us eat sugar cubes in the games anyway."

"Whatever, hold up...I'll play along." I quickly finish eating the sugar cube I'd taken, and then bat my fake long eyelashes.

"No thanks," I say, "I'd love to borrow your outfit sometime, though."

This is true, Jimmy is absolutely smoking in this Ashton Irwin style outfit. I don't know if I would wear the outfit if I borrowed it though, cause I'd end up like my younger sister. Oh, I may wear the top under a jacket though...
