It was a brisk afternoon, and all was silent. Currently, Twilight Sparkle was alone in a room waiting to be transported to the Capital. Half of her was regretting her decision, yet the other half was determined to make it out alive. Well, ok more so 75% was regretting the decision, but she had to stay positive.

The doors opened to enter her friend, Fluttershy, "Twilight, why did you do it?" she ran towards Twilight, pulling her into a sorrowful hug.

"I just couldn't sit by watching you in that arena. You're a wonderful friend and I did it because that's what friends do."

"Then let me take my place back. Twilight, I don't want you to go." she cried out, tears hitting Twilight's shoulders.

"How about I promise to try and win. I'm really good with magic anyways. Maybe it'll give me an advantage."

"Yeah, that is true." Fluttershy backed away from the embrace, wiping her tears away from her eyes. "I believe in you, Twilight."

With this, Fluttershy pulled out a pin in the shape of the mockingpony. She put it on Twilight's small saddle bag she was carrying with her for the journey there. "Thank you Fluttershy." Twilight smiled, pulling her best friend into a long hug. The peacekeepers came in to take Twilight to the train. "Fluttershy, please watch over my library for me!" she called, leaving with the peacekeepers, saddlebag on her back. She took one final look back at Fluttershy and the town before entering the train, to have the view be cut off by the train doors sliding closed.

No more town, she was going on the train towards the Capital....Towards death.

Author's Note

Hello everpony! Hope you enjoyed Ch. 3!! It took me a while to get this story out and I'm surprised with the outcome! Glad that you all came by to read my silly fanfic and I hope you continue to follow the story.
I'm sorry it's so short, but I just wanted a short chapter dedicated towards Twilight and Fluttershy saying their goodbyes. I will be putting Ch. 4 a longer one as it'll be the train ride and her meeting the other tributes.
Remember, if you have any questions, make sure to either comment down below or PM me! Thanks everypony for stopping by! /)
