                                                         Photo is of Titus Cole. 

A loud knock on my door brought me to a quick upright position. 

"Up, up, up!" Gracia's voice seeped into the door as Titus sat up rubbing his face.

"NO!" I yelled back as I fell back onto my pillow folding it over my head.

Titus yawned and stretched his sleep ridden muscles.

I felt his eyes on me as he chuckled and planted a soft kiss on my arm and got out of bed.

He turned on the shower and a few seconds later I was hurled over his shoulder.

"Uh! Titus! Put me down! Just five more minutes!" I flailed as he sat me down in the shower room and ran out my room. 

Confused I sat still a moment until I shot myself a glance in the mirror as a soft crackling was heard as the speakers began to sing the anthem.

"Good morning Tributes! You will be arriving to the Capitol in a hour flat, so please be ready to get off the train!"

My tangled blond hair fell in front of my sleep crusted eyes.

I let out a grown as the Blue haired Avoxs came into the room, setting a outfit on the counter.

The tallest one looked at me innocently and made a odd motion with her hands.

"I'm sorry...I..I don't understand." I said apologetically, getting to my feel.

She frowned a little and took a step forward and began to slip her sleeve down her arm and pointed to the shower.

"Oh... you want me to take a shower." I nodded as I quickly threw my clothes to the ground, ignoring the Avoxs here still there. 

I looked for the two nobs that controlled the water but was confused when I seen a impressive array of multi-colored buttons. 

"Ummm....What one do I push?" I poked my head out of the bath and she took a step forward and pressed the large green button.

Oh.

I rubbed the back of my head "Well that should have been pretty easy to figure out." I laughed a little as she ran her finger along a line of buttons.

I read the small words on them.

Cherry. Flowers. Vanilla. Mint. Ocean.

"This one." I clicked the smaller blue button labeled Ocean.

She took a step back as I bathed in the smell of my home.

I scrubbed down and stepped out and threw my wet hair in a sloppy bun and pulled on the black jeans and white tang top.

I contemplated the jacket. Most of the time we didn't need one back home but I have never been anywhere else so I don't know the weather. 

I slipped the leather over my shoulder and smiled at the feel.

The Avox, who pointed to the heavens an indication her name to be Sky, lead me to the same marble table to eat a large breakfast already laid out. 

Finnick smiled and sniffed the air.

"I like the ocean sent too. Reminds me of home." His eyes glazed over a moment as I took a seat and scooped eggs and a brisket on my plate.

After a few spoon fulls of egg Finnick came out of his haze and began, "Well, as you know the Parade is first, and it is tonight, so if you're still tired get rested up. Big night, its when the sponsors get their first good look at you. And the recap of the rest of the reaping should be on. If you hurry you may be able to catch the tail end of it."
