That morning it was Peeta's and I's first training day. I was so tired. I couldn't sleep last night. Peeta looked just as bad as me. 

He was yawning left and right. We first did our private lessons, which was archery. I was really excited to get to practice my achery skills.  I didn't know why, but being able to work a bow gave me some hope. I put my arrow in the bow, and was about to let it fly, when I noticed Peeta struggling to get it in.

He noticed me looking, and smiled. " Yeah, um when Haymitch was talking about most kids not being able to work a bow, I am one of those kids." We laughed, then I helped him put it in.

Next we had to meet our designers. Mine's name was Cinna. He wore so much golden eyeliner,but I guess it is fashion here in the capital.

We shook hands then we talked about what he was going to put on me for the Tribute Parade.  "You and Peeta will match, because we want you two to look like a team."

"I'm not going to tell you what you are going to be in, because I want it to be a surprise. But let me tell you, you will be stunning."  He smiled, and I smiled back. 

Later we had to go back to our stylist to be put in our outfits. He put a black dress on me, and a weird looking cape. 

Then the makeup people put so much makeup on me that when I looked in the mirror I barely reconized myself. My skin looked so flawless, my eye shadow was golden, and my chapped lips now looked perfect. 

I met up Peeta right before the parade. He looked absoluetely handsome. "Ok", Cinna said coming up to us. He had a lighter in his hand.

Then I realized, "Oh great, the weird cape is for the fire." He first lit up my cape. I admit I was scared.  This desinger was new, and who knew if he knew what he was doing. 

I close my eyes ready for the pain, but only feel slight heat. Thank goodness. 

Then, he did Peeta. We now were definitely stunning.  "Well, we look hot." Peeta joked. I laughed.  Cinna told us to take eachother's hand. Then the parade started.
