" Okay. The Capitol is a glorious place filled with knuckle heads called human beings. " Elliot says over breakfast, actually drinking something that isn't alcohol. Adelaide hisses at Elliot and he just shrugs.

" We're not knuckleheads. We are just people without super powers and freaky abilities. " Adelaide says, stirring her tea. I am on my phone, which has no service so I am just playing a game. " By the way, I will be taking phones due to if you want to try and call your family during the Supernatural Games journey. It's illegal. " She takes my phone out of my hands. Chase pulls his out from his pocket and she takes his as well. In return, she throws us a bright smile. I give her a glare.

" Knucklehead, " Elliot whispers to us, pointing at Adelaide. Unexpectedly, she hears him and raises an eyebrow. Me and Chase begin quietly giggling. Their relationship is hilarious. " Now. Once we arrive, you two will be taken to meet your stylists and glam up for the Red Carpet and Dinner Party at the President's Mansion tonight. " The red carpet show is televised for all of Panem to watch. Goody.

" Does everyone have to attend? Parties aren't really my scene, " I say. Even socializing with other individuals that come from a different species.

" Well, sweetheart you must. If you're a no show, the President won't be so thrilled. " Elliot sips on his coffee.

" Oh my God, we're here! " Chase squeals, going by the window. My eyes turn to the window and see all the Capitol people cheering. Chase begins to wave at them and I just stare at them. Chase is automatically a crowd pleaser.

" I suggest you do what he does. Seems like the kid already has some fans. " Elliot says from the table. " Kids, welcome to the Capitol. "

I am standing in a capsule which they call the Dressing Capsule, wearing a hospital-like gown and my curly hair is down. A group of human people come over and open up the capsule. A man with black hair and has tan skin comes up to me. " Hello Miss Bree, my name is Daniel. Your think big stylist and this is going to be your team. This is Roxanne, John, Lexi. " He points them out and shakes my hand quickly.

" Nice to meet you. " I say, smiling big and feeling awkward cause I never been around many humans. They all look at me all happy and show me their white bright teeth. It freaks me out a little.

" Alright, people. Roxanne and John, start the washing and drying. Lexi, start picking out the nail polish color and makeup that will match her skin tone. And I, will fix up your outfit for tonight's big tribute dinner party. " Daniel is a fast working man, I see.

The crew gets their work down. It only took like around 30 minutes. My nails are perfectly done, my legs, arms, and underarm hair were shaved off during the washing and drying process and my face is very smooth. As I exit out the capsule, Lexi applies light blue eyeshadow, mascara, lipstick on my face. Daniel returns to the room with a tablet in his hand.

" Alright, Bree. Your outfit is very much ready. " He lays in down on a nearby chair. " Now, you go along and enter inside the dressing capsule. " I nod and enter in. In a flash, the hospital-like gown has changed to a beautiful dress. As the capsule door opens, I rush to the mirror and take a close look at the dress. It's a long, strapless solid purple tulle beaded crystal ball gown. It's mesmerizing and very elegant for this formal occasion. My hair is styled waterfall braid with a soft wave hairstyle. Daniel gasps in delight and the crew starts applauding him.

" My goodness. You look astonishing, Bree! " Daniel says, pulling out his pocket hanky and dabbing his eyes. " Very beautiful. " His voice starts squeaking and I roll my eyes playfully.

The Tribute Dinner Party takes place at President Snow's mansion. Elliot, Adelaide, Chase, and I all took a limo to get there. It was a short ride, only taking a few minutes. The moment when we reach the mansion, I see flashing lights and fireworks. There is a ton of Capitol people cheering as we all exit the limo.
