I walk onto the train, I am honored to be in these games. I quickly take a cupcake from the snack bar and sit down, I take the wrapping off it and take quick nibs of it.

I wave good-bye to my brother and father as the Peacekeepers take me from the good-bye giving station. "See you in a couple months!" I call as I leave, smiling to cheer them up. I haven't given up on my future yet, and I have to remind them of that.

I step onto the train, look around. My district partner seemed to be friendly earlier, and what I've seen of Spencer, I think he's not going to be too bad of a mentor, so naturally I'm in a hurry to find one of them. I don't have to look very far to find Jennifer, or at least I think that's her name, she's in the food car, which seems to be an appropriate place. "Hi, Jennifer, is it? Or would you prefer I call you something else?" I greet her before even taking a second glass at the rows of cakes, casseroles, and other food laying about on the table.

---District 3 Mentor---Male---20---

The train began to move as the main doors closed and the echo could be heard throughout the entire train. Spencer walked into the food cart doing what he usually did at this time as the train began to take off from the station. He had just began reading a leather bound book that he had probably read on a few different occasions but it didn't matter. He still read the book anyways and tried to absorb all its knowledge, a feat that wasn't so difficult for the man with the eidetic memory. Now all that was left for him to do was bring his book with him opened up towards his face as he went to grab his yearly dose of cake, the Capitol delicacy that he had always requested on his train ride. This was the one thing that he ever asked and he always made sure to think of Solange as he did, eating a slice in her memory every year. It was crazy to think that it had been about 3 or so years now since his time in the arena, and yet his nightmares still hadn't gone away. The waking images still haunted him every night and for the last year or two he had been getting terrible headaches, probably a side effect from not sleeping well at night and his over active mind.

Spencer knew the tributes would be out there but he really didn't think much about it. This was his third set of tributes since he had taken over as the mentor for their district and honestly he hadn't done too much except for reiterate certain statistics and of course to tell everyone how important it was for them to remember to just sit back and breathe for a moment. Breathing was, of course, the most important function for humans after all. Some of his tributes forgot that fact, they worried too much that they forgot to even do the simplest of human functions, but it was one that everyone needed to remember. If not even the literal act of breathing but just to say 'hey, calm down for a second and think' was also more of the message that he wanted to spread. Also the act of breathing, that was important after all; wouldn't want a tribute dying on him because they forgot to do just that. Great...now even his thoughts were rambling, it wasn't just him speaking that caused the long string of words to leave his mouth uninterrupted but now even the quick thoughts entered into his brain at a mile a minute. Breaking off into new subjects every second without much time to think in between them.

I look up at the boy that is my district partner, "Hey!" she said with a smile. I decided I'd be friends with this dude since they were gonna be living together for a bit. "I'd like Jenni, but Jennifers' good enough." I answer his question. "Whats your name, I may ask?" I ask him, I continue eating the cupcake.

"Oh, silly me, where are my manners? I'm Cai," I say, genuinely angry at myself for not giving an introduction sooner, "It's nice to meet you, Jenni." I would have attempted to shake her hand, but Jennifer was obviously busy with the cupcake in her hands. I was about to comment on it, but a door opened, which distracted me from my thoughts, causing me to look around in order to acknowledge the newcomer.

I turn around to hearing a door open, I cant see so I stretch my head, I was too lazy to get up and move. I see a newcomer coming in and suddenly am not interested, I finish my cupcake and wipe my fingers on a napkin. I get a glass of water and drink it, I suddenly hiccup- "UGH" I groan, I continue drinking water, to try and cure my case of hiccups....hiccup.....hiccup.... once it stopped I put the glass down and waited for the newcomer to come in and introduce himself.

---District 3 Mentor---Male---20---

Spencer had grabbed his cake and sat down in a comfortable and plush arm chair. His book was still opened and to a page and it did get a little difficult to hold his plate of food then have to turn the page every few seconds or so. But he awkwardly did it and it was probably both entertaining to watch as well as suspenseful wondering if he was going to drop either of the things in his hands at some point. He didn't though which was lucky enough for him, he really didn't want to have to change out of the clothes he had on because he got cake on them and he hated causing trouble for the people charged with keeping this metal train clean. While he continued to both eat his cake and read his book he could hear chatter from the tributes he was mentoring behind him, but none of it was in reference to him in anyway, so he felt no need to say anything. Instead he would rather awkwardly just sit there reading a book. That is until he heard hiccuping. Now he couldn't keep his mouth shut, he had to give out a few facts first because this was Spencer Watts we were talking about, not your regular run of the mill mentor who spoke of normal things like how to get sponsors or how to do your interviews. No, no. Instead he just told you facts because unlike the Games, that was something he was good at. "Did you know that hiccups are the spasms and convulsions of your diaphragm? Usually happens after eating to fast or laughing too much or sometimes, God forbid, you breathe too much. Though that is not something I would tell you to not do very often." He didn't look up from his book, in fact his face was still buried in the pages with the plate of cake sitting half eaten on the table next to his arm chair.

Jennifer looked at her mentor awkwardly, what the fluck is that useful for? she thought to herself. She decided to shake it off, "So, what do you advise for us to do once in the arena, or in the training room?" she asked the man. She wanted everything to go smoothly for a chance of an allience. She decides to get a drink, and pours a glass to drink.
