Waking up around 4 am, it was still early so I got ready to go to the capitol taking another long bath, then changed into a beautiful outfit and woke David up "Good morning, love how did you sleep" I asked him "slept like a babe, mama" I smiled then helped him in exfoliate and shave any body hair.
It was now 7 am when Miss Effie barged in to see us already awake. "Good morning Miss Effie" I said sweetly "Good morning, I'm quite surprised at how early your awake, shall we?" She motioned to the dining compartment "Of course " then we went to eat a light breakfast "You look quite lovely This morning miss Effie" I complemented her "Why, thank you Zinnia, you look quite lovely as well this bright morning" Slightly blushing at the compliment still.
After eating Haymich and I were talking about strategy when we arrived at the capital and let me tell you It was Loud.
I smiled and waved enthusiastically for the sponsors when I was a small girl with a bright blue dress and a similar hair piece as what I wore... It was obvious that the girl was quite young and looked like a regular human with lavander highlights..
"Hii" I went over to the sweet girl.. "What's your name?" I asked her.. Her mother holding her so she could see me.. "Amanda " she said softly "That's a beautiful name. "
"Thank you... I hope you win the games pretty lady.. I'll make sure papa sponsors you" Amanda said cheering "Well thank you Amanda, I hope to see you at the parade.." I also said exited "Well I have to go now but here" I handed her a small pin I made "If you ever are in life danger just press it 3 times okay?"Wanting to protect the sweet girl "Okay... Bye!! " I waved at her before being moved to the cleaning stations.
Time skip
My prep team Octavia, Nonethir, and Sephent are quite sweet, they were like children blissfully ignorant so I really liked there ignorance But my stylists on the other hand... Not so much Darien.. was.. Exentric but he also was the stylist for the last 10 or so years and the only parade outfit he made for 12 is coal miners.
I immediately stopped him in making me wear that old outfit "No, I am not wearing such unoriginal clothing" I huffed "Call for my district partner and his stylist" I asked "Fine.. Whatever" He went and called for David's stylist Portia...
Soon the pair came in then I gave David his suit for the parade. As he was changing I spoke to Portia.. "My name is Zinnia Tribute of 12... I hope you don't mind that I called for you.." Portia was shocked since I was one of few tributes that was actually civil.. "M.. My name is Portia... I'm the stylist of the male tributes of district 12" She formally introduced herself.
David then stepped out of the changing room looking quite dashing with his suit, I smiled walked over and put on a tie on him. "How do I look mama" He asked cutely. Both Portia and Darien had their mouths wide open but I ignored them focusing on my son "Dashing my dear" I said Smiling like a mother.. I forgot how much I missed seeing my son in my previous life wearing a dashing suit.
After a few moments Portia finally spoke "Z.. Zinnia did David just say.. Mama?? "I sighed at such a question "Yes Portia, I have adopted him if you need to ask" Then Darien said "But you do know that you'll have to kill each other in the games right??" "Yes I do know that you got a problem?" I asked slightly irritated and I must have looked absolutely horrifying because he immediately replied a quick No..
After the incident I spoke to my son "Darling... Could you please sit in the styling chair?" He replied like a child would "Yes mama" And sat down on the chair.. I styled his hair in a slick way and said to Portia and Damian as I styled "Portia, Damian when we go in the parade and the interviews I already have an outfit for us. But I need you two to say that you were the ones to make them alright" "Why though" She asked "Because no one must know that I can make such designs else I would be monitored and interigated" I simply answered calmly which shocked both the stylists of 12.
"A.. Alright" Damian and Portia said and to that I smiled. After I finished styling his hair I then changed into a fire themed dress as well. Walking out of that changing room the first thing I see are mouths dropped to the ground "Wow. Mama you look gorgeous" David said still looking stunned. "Thank you Dear" I smiled and sat down on the chair and meticulously did my hair and make up taking around an hour.
