Parade prep.

I sat down on the bed that I'd slept in many days before. Waiting for my stylist. Trying to not focus on what would happen soon. I'd be killed in the games and I knew it. No one cared about me, to them I was just another girl who lived on the streets to everyone back in ten, and to the capital, I was just entertainment. I was taken out of my reverie when my door opened to reveal my stylist.

"Oh hello Firefly," said an young skinny lady, "I am Diana, your stylist, did you have any look in particular that you wanted to try? Because frankly I'm out of ideas." Dianna waited patiently she didn't like district 10 but this one seemed nice enough.

"Hi Diana, Nice to meet you. I was sort of thinking Sexy-Farmer's-Daughter type of look." I said, then felt my face redden. I did want to go for sexy, after all, I had always had a certain appeal to the people back in 10.

Was not expecting that, Dianna nodded and reached into an envelop she had brought with her. "Will this do?" she asked showing Firefly the picture "I believe thats what you were looking for?"

Spoiler:

I laughed at the look she had given me when i told her that. "That would work! I like the hat..." I said trailing off. I glanced around the room, it was a bit lighter than it usually was when I was in here cause I was normally training at this time.

I nodded approvingly, "Alright strip out of those clothes while the outfit starts coming down" Dianna commands eying the girl, she needed to make sure she the body to pull it off, "No complaining either."

I felt my cheeks deepen. I'd never really stripped in front of anyone before. But I took off my clothes and stood there in my bra and underwear. "Do I have the body for it?" I asked jokingly.

Dianna nodded approvingly, "Oh yes, and you're still growing that'll attract additional attention." said Dianna winking, the outfit hadn't arrived yet though. "There's a robe there," she started "but your costume doesn't call for undergarments, added appeal you see."

Oh, god, why did she have to say that?, I thought. I got the robe she was referring to, put it on my shoulders then turned around, yeah sure I was a little embarrassed to strip totally in front of someone. I unhooked my bra then threw it down, then the underwear. Then I tied my robe and faced her.

"Don't be shy now dear" Dianna scolded her "I have seen it all before you shouldn't be any different, she picked up all of Firefly's old clothes and tossed them into a chute. Far below the roaring of a fire could be heard "Don't need those anymore. Now stop being shy." Just then the attendent walked in and handed the outfit to Dianna. "Come now get out of that robe."

I laughed nervously. But then I stripped of my robe and tied the shirt on. GOD This thing was LOW it like a bra.... and then I squeezed into the short shorts. I smiled semi seductively, but then burst out in laughter. This was so weird. "Wait! What did you do with my clothes?!" I shouted/screamed.

"Oh Hush now" Dianna soothed "You'll get others, It's not like you're going to be wearng clothes often, remember I pick all of your dress attire and according to your plan you can sleep with no clothes yes?" Dianna eyed the dress "Loosen the top a little it's getting high" then she tugged down the shorts a bit "Ah yes very nice, Do a dance or something get your mind rolling"

"Um, yeah, I guess, now that I'm in a heated room. A dance? Like a pole dance or something like that?" I asked laughing, then I loosened the top. Then I knew exactly what to do. I dropped the hair tie that was on my wrist and grabbed it and straightened out slowly and seductively. "How was that?" I asked.

Dianna put her hands to her mouth "Amazing..." she breathed "Do something else.." she couldn't dare to hope for a girl embracing this better "You're fantastic so far.."

"Uhm..." I said trying to wrack my brain for ideas. Then suddenly I narrowed my eyes a little, heaved my chest a little more as I breathed, then flipped my hair and said, "Hows this?" In a seductive voice. Now I hoped I won, so I could go back to 10 and 'be the sexy girl who won the games'.

Dianna frowned a bit, "Don't try an exaggerate your features." she said tensely "In fact if your try and act smaller you get more attention that way," Dianna clapped her hands and a pole was lowered through the ceiling, "You said something about pole dancing?" Dianna looked confused "What do you mean?"

"So to be sexy, be smaller? Thats confusing." I said, then grinned as the pole dropped from the floor. "Pole dancing, is this." I said, the grabbed the top part of the bar then twisted my body in a familiar way, when we were kids we used to play this as a game but as we got older only certain people did it. I smiled as I spinned down the pole, it brought me back to when I was only 10.

Dianna raised an eyebrow "Yes I guess the words to choose are, under exaggerate your more defining curves and the audience will go crazy," she watched the girl spin around on the pole. "Is that it?" it looked like she just was spinning around a lot of times, nothing really behind it just spin and spin and spin.

"Oh, I think I got it now. And No. Its a bit more than that, but I'm not good at it. So what should I do at the parade?" I asked as I stood up dizzy, my brown hair pounding around my face still. I wondered why she didn't attempt to do anything with my hair or make-up, it certainly was a question to ponder.

Dianna thought "Be revealing but don't act like it's on purpose. For example, if you bend out of the chariot give them a few up your shirt or even better act like you don't know you're giving them a good show of your butt." Dianna said, "I think we have a fair chance of beating Chub this year as well so that could be good!"

"Oh! I get it now!" I said laughing. "So should I be holding something then drop it?" I asked, this would be fun. I loved acting. I did it everyday at school so this shouldn't be to hard.

"You act like you've done this before!" Exclaimed Dianna, then her eyebrows furrowed, "Have you ever been in the bed of another boy?" she asked carefully choosing her words. "Because it may be an idea to..." she whispered in Firefly's ear "Open your top once or twice during the ride." she quickly backed away wanting to see her expression.

My face was a mask of horror, I was sure of it, but I knew that it would get me the money I needed. "Uhm, No, I've never slept with anyone before, I'm like the only girl as poor as me who hasn't. And I'll do whatever you say." I said. I could see it now, me up next to the other boy tribute and undoing my top, if I did, I'd have to wave it over my head, cause thats the type of person I was.

"What are you thinking?" Dianna asked "I know you're thinking something and trust me wild is a good thing, I expect you to take it off but then what are you going to do?"

"Wave it above my head. I know it sounds silly but I think it might work." I said, laughing. God, I was turning into such a slut.
