Chapter 2
it was the dag flippy had to go to the hunger games. He was in his hummer driving to the capital. It was a long way away but he was going to make it there in time. When he got there he was impressed. This was obviously a rich city. Tall buildings, fancy clothing, bright colors everywhere. “All this fancy stuff for a competition?” he thought as he parked in a spot at the building he was told to go to. He walked inside into a room where he saw lots of other people going to. When he got there he was shocked, but not disappointed. Lots of other people were standing in a circle. He took his place in between a brown haired girl and a blonde haired boy. He looked around and realized, he recognized almost all of these people. Shifty and Lifty, their green raccoon marking obvious now. Lumpy, his antlers and blue hair clearly visible. Flaky, her porcupine quills sharp and her face worried. the mole, his light purple vacht, bont and dark purple turtleneck. Giggles, the roze chipmunk with a bow on her head. The lijst could go on. He was competing with people he knew, except the people he was standing in between and a blue eekhoorn with a red mask. Everyone but cub was here, even Cro-marmot. He was a frozen caveman. Somehow able to do normal person things and handy was volgende to him, his no hands not that obvious hidden door the people around him. On the other side of handy was nutty, he had candy all over his face and he was laughing, as usual. volgende to nutty was Pop. He was smoking his pipe, ignoring the others. petunia was volgende to pop. Her blue skunk vacht, bont and bushy tail very obvious now. Cuddles was volgende to her, yellow furred and fluffy tailed. Mime was volgende to him, purple fur, white face paint. Toothy was volgende to him. Buck teeth and bever, beaver tail very obvious. Sniffles was volgende to mime. He was wearing glasses and reading a science book. volgende to sniffles was Russell, his blue- green vacht, bont and hook and pretty easy to spot. Lastly, volgende to Russell was Disco Bear. His oranje afro sticking out the most. After flippy was done looking around a voice came from some speakers on the wall. “Welcome tributes to the 74th hunger games! I know many of u are still wondering what the hunger games are, well I can explain it all. It is a competition where all of u are sent into the wilderness to fight to the death while the districts watch and bet on the winner. There are no specific rules but only one of u can survive. Have fun!” after that the speakers shut off. Flippy's stomach turned. A death match, that's what this is! A lot of other people seemed surprised too. Flippy couldn't stop himself from imagining what it would be like and he had to fight to keep himself from flipping out. This was worse than war, this was meaningless fighting! They were putting them against each other just so they could watch them die and bet on a winner! Why did it come to this? Who invented this? Why would they put him and his vrienden and strangers up against each other in such a gruesome contest? Just then the voice came back. “don't worry tributes. This contest won't begin for weeks. Until then u will prepare door training. u will get stylists and a mentor, well some of you. Most of u are fit enough already to work it out yourself. u will get a luxury room until then. Enjoy.” then the voice was gone again. Some of the other tributes started whispering to each other. The brown haired girl turned to flippy. “who are you, we're the only humans here, u all are just human sized animals.” flippy could tell she was worried about the games too. He didn't want to speak, his throat felt like someone was choking him but he forced a reply. “we're just as confused as u are. I never thought this is what the hunger games is. I already fought in war, I don't want to relive it again.” “what's your name?” the blonde haired boy asked. “i-i'm flippy. Who are you?” he replied. “I'm Katniss.” the girl replied. “I'm Peeta.” the boy said. “so u were in a war?” katniss asked. Flippy nodded. Flippy really didn't want to talk about the war and he was glad when they stopped asking questions. Flippy needed to think about how he was going to get through this. Killing his friends, possibly flipping out and if he didn't win he would be dead, if he did win all the people he cared about would be dead. He just wanted it all to end. It's not worth it, killing for no reason. Just to entertain a few people he didn't even know. Whatever was going to happen he definitely wasn't ready for it.
