Rainbow Dash spun around in shock of the bright and happy voice coming ont of nowhere. "What!?" "Hey silly it is just me, Cloudkicker." "You surprised me!" "Hey, I was bored." "Really!? Today is the reaping for the 78th Hunger Games. you never know if your name is destined to be picked." Dash shot back at her. "Still, does that matter?" Cloudkicker smirked. "Yes it does, now let's go before all the good views are gone." Rainbow grumbled as the took flight. As the pair walked through the gates, Rainbow Dash accidentally bumped a large, blue Colt. "Watch it!" He shouted at her. "Sorry." Rainbow mumbled in apology, as they continued on. "This year, we will be calling out the Colt first, and our tribute is Rainbow Strike!" The mayor of district 3 called out. "Now we will move onto the mare, and our tribute is, Rainbow Dash!" The first thoughts that came to Dashies mind were, how did that happen? She trotted up to the stage as the crowd stomped their hooves. " Good Luck Rainbow Dash and Rainbow Strike, and may the odds be ever in your favour." The mayor told the pair in a friendly voice. "Thanks because we are totally going to end the luck, right Dashie?" Rainbow strike, her brother smiled at rainbow dash. "Yep cause the we will totally have an army of bunny rabbits to help us." Rainbow said dully. District 8: The ReapingIt was dark and cold, Pinkie Pies mane flat from depression and the heavy rain that was pouring down in district 8. Pinkie sighed. She was hated the reaping day because she had lost her sisters Maud Pie and Marble Pie to the hunger games, as they had been called at the reaping and nopony had been willing to risk their life for pinkies sisters. "Hey, look. It is that loser pony Pinkie pie! Hahaha!" Caramel Apple, the pony who hated her, laughed at her. "Why don't you pick on some pony your own size!" Pinkie snapped as she slowly trotted to the reaping. When she got there, the town square was packed with ponies. Pinkie managed to get a spot up the back. She arrived just in time to hear the friendly voice of the mayor call out the Colt. "Bubble berry and Pinkie Pie! They are this years tributes to the Capitol for the hunger games!" Pinkie wondered if she heard correctly, as she walked home and collapsed on her bed. She started sobbing when she realised what had just happened. She hoped when she got to the arena, the other tributes would just kill her straight away, so she didn't have to suffer the guilt of killing somepony. As it grew dark outside, pinkie fell asleep but her dreams were filled with dying ponies, herself killing ponies but she was dying at the same time. Then she didn't move till the next morning. District 10: The Reaping"Hurry up Apple Bloom! We are going to be late at the rate y'all is moving." Applejack encouraged her sister. "Come on Applejack, you know it's hard enough getting around in district 10, the livestock district without having to worry about being late for anything. Let alone havin' to worry about being late to the reaping." Apple Bloom complained. " Let's go, Now! You know how the peace keepers will react to us being late." Applejack threatened. "Fine." Apple Bloom grumbled. When the pair reached the place where the tributes would have their name called, they were nearly late. "and this year the mare will be... Apple Bloom! The Colt will be... Big Macintosh!" The old voice of the mayor called out. "You may all leave-" the mayor tried to finish but Applejack called out, "Wait! I will take Apple Blooms place." She choked on the words but she said them. "Ok, Applejack is the mare. Now leave!" The Mayor finally finished. "Why did you do that?" Granny Smith asked Applejack when they got home. "Yeah!" Apple Bloom agreed with Granny Smith. "I am sorry sugar cube but I ain't letting them take you away from granny. She needs you. More than me." Applejack finished firmly. "No! You should have left me Applejack! You don't deserve this!" Apple Bloom said with tears in her eyes. " I am not letting them hurt you Apple Bloom. I am doing this to save your life. I am 17 now. You are only 12, not old enough to go die in those games. So I am the one who will die with Big Mac." Applejack finished. "Still, you should not have done that, AJ." "This conversation is over." Applejack finished, her voice cracking. They ate the rest of their dinner in silence. At the end of dinner, Applejack went straight to her room. To think about what happened, and what Apple Bloom and Granny had said. District 12: The ReapingFluttershy slowly walked down from where she had been feeding her birds. One of the little bird chirped at her to ask her where she was going. "I am so sorry sweetie but, I have to go yo the reaping to find out who is this years tributes." Fluttershy answered absentmindedly. The bird chirped again to tell her it understood. "Ok, I'll see you soon." Fluttershy answered tha bird as she started toward the markets. Then when she got a seat she could relax listen to a speach, and listen to the names called out. As she walked on, Fluttershy got this feeling that she was going to be picked. "Don't be silly." She told herself. "I have a 1 in a 1000000 chance of getting picked. I am only 16." She muttered to herself. "Whoa!" She stumbled into a yellow Pegasus. "Hey, are you ok?" He asked and unlike a couple of colts who were mean to her, she could tell from the look in his eyes that he was actually caring for her.then she realised that he was the bakers son, butterscotch. "Oh, I am sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going." She said shyly. "That is fine. I was on my way to the reaping. Care to join me?" He asked, sweeping a hoof out in front of her. "Oh. If that's ok with you of course." Fluttershy answered in a soft tone. "Come on." He waved at her and the pair started walking along. When they got to the market, the stage had been decorated slightly with some old ribbons and that was it. The mayor of the coal district, district 12, had already drawn out the slips and had finished the speach and was about to call the names out. "Could Fluttershy and Butterscotch please come to the stage?" He asked gruffly. The pair gasped in shock as then began to walk forward. As Gluttershy walked up she began to black out from the shock. By the time they got to the stage, she blacked out completely. When she came to, she was at home, in bed. Butterscotch was there with her little sister, scootaloo. "Shhhh. Go back to sleep. Tommorow is another day." Fluttershy fell back to sleep, the butterfly's and birds, filling her dreams. The ScoresSomething has gone wrong.

We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.District 1: the Reaping" Come along sweetie belle, we must not be late. You know what the peacekeepers will do." Rarity reminded sweetie belle for the 13th time. " Look, we are almost there." Rarity was dreading this day for years. This was the first day that Sweetie belle's name would be able to be called. She was 12 now after all. Rarity herself was 18, which ment she was at a bigger risk than sweetie but Rarity still cared about her sister more. Rarity sighed. She was in the draw 6 times, Sweetie Belle was in there 1 time so it was very unlikely that 1 of them would be called. When they got there, the town square was jam packed. The mayor of district 1, the luxury goods district had already called out Applebolt as the stallion and was about to call out the mare. " Sweetie Belle!" The mayor called out. Rarity thought vividly, how did this happen? It was a 1000000 to 1 chance and it happened. " I volunteer myself in replace of Sweetie Belle." Rarity called out as she walked forward. " Exelent, Exelent . " The mayor said in his deep voice. " Everypony give a round of applause for this brave mare, Rarity!" He called out to the crowd On the way home Rarity felt sick. Sweetie Belle had nearly been a district 1 tribute to the Hunger Games and she had volunteered. Rarity! A contestant in the hunger games! It made her feel sick. At home, she couldn't eat a thing and she had a hard time sleeping. When she'd drifted of into sleep, her mind was filled with ponies getting killed by others. She hated it. District 5: The Reaping"Twilight. Twilight. Twilight. Twilight!" Twilight Sparkle finally looked up from her book. "Yes? What did you need to speak to me about Lemon Drop?" "Did you forget? It's reaping day!" Lemon Drop, Twilight's best friend squealed. "No, but I want to forget! Do you not know how big a chance we have at being called now we are 18!?" Twilight asked in a rush. " You might not know but I do so I am studying in case I do get called!" Twilight answered herself. "Ok? Any hoof, let's go bookbrain!" Lemon exclaimed, marching out the door with Twilight in tow. When they got there, there were only about 200 ponies,which is a small amount considering they lived in district 5. It was very strange. "Maybe they are at work, you know, fixing a broken power circuit?" Lemon suggested when Twi asked why there were not many ponies there. " Ok, let's get this straight. The mare I just chose was Twilight Sparkle and the stallion was Dusk Shine. Meeting dismissed." The mayor of district 5 told them gruffly. Twilight gasped. She, twilight sparkle in the hunger games? Twilight was so shocked, she fainted. When Twilight came to, she was at home, in bed. "Please tell me that was a dream." Twilight begged Lemon. "No, it was not. Go back to sleep. Tomorrow is another day" she whispered as Twi went back to sleep. Meeting the other tributesAs the tributes from all of the districts entered the training area, they began to introduce themselves, starting at district 1. "Hello, I am rarity and this is my partner, Applebolt. We're from district 1." Rarity finished telling them. " I am Lyra heartstrings and this is my partner, Elusive, from district 2." She explained. "I am Rainbow dash from district 3 and this is rainbow strike." Rainbow dash huffed. " I am Bon Bon, from district 3 and this is my partner, bubble berry." Bon Bon said shyly. "I am Octavia, from district 4 and this is my partner, musical melodies." Octavia said absentmindedly. "Hi I'm twilight sparkle and this is dusk Shine. We're fron district 5." Twilight told the group. "I am DJ-pon3 and this is Apple flight." We are from district 6. The DJ said. " I am Derpy hooves and this is doctor hooves. We're from district 7." Derpy said as she scrunched up her face. " I'm pinkie pie I guess, were from district 8. This is bubble berry." The pink pony said gloomily. " I am soft silk and this is berry pie. We are from district 9. " the posh, blue pony said, turning her nose up. "Howdy! I am applejack and this is my brother, Big Mac. We're from district 10." The happy farm pony finished. " I am Anna and this is Chris. We are from district 11." The brown unicorn explained. "Oh, I'm Fluttershy. And this is butterscotch." Fluttershy couldn't say more if she tried. "We're from district 12." The firm, but kind voice of butterscotch finished for her. He looked down and smiled at her. "Could all mares please progress to the training area to get started on training? Thank you!" The loudspeaker startled everypony. " I guess we should go." Bon Bon suggested. " good Idea." Twilight agreed exiting the room. The boys kept chating.
