District 1

"Attention! Attention! Ahem. Hello District 1!" said Honoka, who was the peppy announcer for the "Kaichou-wa Maid-Sama District."

"Ladies first!" Honoka announced. After fishing around in the big glass bowl filled with girls' names, she pulled one out.

"Misaki Ayuzawa!" cheered Honoka.

Misaki was stunned, but then she put on a brave face and walked up to the stage.

"And now for the boys..." Honoka said.

"Hinata Shintani!"

"I volunteer as tribute!" a voice from the crowd shouted quickly.

"And who are you?" asked Honoka.

"Usui Takumi," replied the boy.

"Well, Mr. Takumi, please come up here. Mr. Shintani, you may go back to your section," Honoka said.

Usui walked up to join Misaki.

"Hey," Usui said casually.

"Usui, you idiot! Why did you volunteer?" Misaki asked angrily.

"So that I could be the one to protect you, instead of Hinata," Usui replied.

Misaki blushed, but then said, "I don't need protection, you pervert!"

District 2

"Welcome to another Reaping," Ryuzaki, the announcer for District 2 (the "Death Note District") said unenthusiastically.

"For the girls... Misa Amane," he said.

Oh no! Misa doesn't want to die yet! Misa thought.

"For boys... Light Yagami," said Ryuzaki.

Light merely raised his eyebrows. He walked up to the stage and took his place next to Misa.

"Light-kun! Misa promises to do everything she can to protect Light," she said in a serious voice.

Light nodded and began to form a plan on how to win the Games. Luckily, Light had a page of his Death Note in this pocket.

This is going to be too easy, Light thought evilly.

District 3

"Hello. I will now be drawing the names of the tributes for this year's Hunger Games," Nico Robin, the announcer for District 3 (the "One Piece" District), said seriously.

She put her hand into one of the big glass bowls and pulled out a slip of paper.

"Nojiko," announced Robin.

Nojiko began to walk up to the stage with a stunned expression on her face, but an orange-haired girl stopped her.

"I volunteer as tribute," the girl said nervously.

"And what's your name?" Robin questioned.

"Nami," the girl replied.

"Alrighty then. Please join me up here while I announce the boy tribute."

"...Okay."

"And the next tribute is... Monkey D. Luffy."

"YES!" Luffy cheered. "WE ARE SO GONNA WIN THIS THING! Right, Nami?"

Nami replied by punching him in the face.

This is gonna be a long game... Nami thought.

District 4

"Hello, Pokemon District! I'm Nurse Joy, your announcer!" Nurse Joy said happily. "Ok! Ladies are up first!"

She grabbed a name from the glass bowl and then said, "Misty!"

I can do this, Misty thought strongly.

"As for boys... Ash Ketchum!" Nurse Joy yelled.

"Yes! Let's go, Pikachu!" Ash shouted.

"Hold on! You can't take that Pikachu into the Games!" Nurse Joy reminded Ash.

"It's my token," Ash replied.

"Oh... I think that's okay then!" Nurse Joy said.

Misty sighed with relief.

District 5

"Hello, hello, hello!" sang Yumichika, the announcer for District 5 (the "Bleach District"). "Let's not waste any time, now!" Yumichika stuck his hand into a glass bowl onstage.

"And the lucky girl is... Rukia Kuchiki!"

Rukia looked stunned for a moment and stole a glance at her brother Byakuya, who was wearing a concerned expression.

"Boys' turn! Ichigo Kurosaki!" Yumichika declared.

"Onii-chan!" Yuzu, Ichigo's little sister, cried.

"Oh shit..." Ichigo said. He walked up to join Rukia, and they exchanged a nervous glance.

"So what's the plan?" asked Ichigo.

"...Stay alive," Rukia said ominously.

District 6

"Hey. I'm Anko Mitarashi. I'm the announcer for District 6, a.k.a. 'The Naruto District.' Any questions?" Anko asked. "None? Okay good."

"The girl tribute is... Sakura Haruno."

Sakura could barely keep the tears from flowing out of her eyes. She clenched her fists and walked onto the stage.

"For the boy tribute... Naruto Uzumaki."

Sakura looked up, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

If Naruto's my partner, I'm sure I can last longer, she thought.

"Sakura-chan," Naruto said, a serious look on his face.

"Yes?" Sakura asked.

"I will do everything I can to protect you."

Sakura smiled and let a tear flow from her eye. It wasn't a sad tear, though. It was a tear of relief and hope.

District 7

"Good morning," Mirajane said cheerily. "I will be announcing the tributes for District 7, the 'Fairy Tail District.'"

"Lucy Heartfilia is the girl tribute," Mira said, not wasting any time.

Lucy gasped out of shock and instinctively put her hand in her pocket to feel her keys as she walked up onto the platform where Mira was standing.

"The male tribute is Natsu Dragneel."

"WOOT! YEAH! Let's kick some butt, Lucy!" Natsu yelled.

"Natsu! Why is Happy on your shoulder?" Lucy asked in a harsh whisper.

"He's my 'token' because he's a 'stuffed animal,'" Natsu whispered back, making air quotes around the words "token" and "stuffed animal."

"Aye," Happy whispered.

"Shh! Shut up!" Lucy scolded Happy.

"Miss Heartfilia, is there something you want to share with us?" Mira asked in an amused tone.

"N-nothing!" she replied nervously.

"You two would make a cute couple..." Mira mused.

Lucy and Natsu glanced at each other and blushed.

"What? Me and Lucy? Pshh!" Natsu denied, his face as pink as his hair.

"What he said," Lucy agreed, her face equally as pink.

District 8

"Hello, Pekoponians of the 'Keroro Gunso District!' I'm Angol Mois, and I'm announcing this year's tributes!" Mois said cheerfully.

"The girl tribute this year is... Natsumi Hinata!"

Natsumi gasped and walked up to the platform worriedly, Giroro hiding inside her backpack.

"...The boy tribute is Fuyuki Hinata!" Mois announced.

"It's really hot in here..." Keroro complained inside Fuyuki's backpack.

"Shh! Be quiet, Sarge," Fuyuki said.

Giroro was already starting to build weapons within Natsumi's backpack, which was full of sweet potatoes.

Natsumi and Fuyuki looked at each other, and one thought crossed both of their minds:

We have to win this. No matter what, I will keep you alive.

District 9

"Hello, bambinas of the 'Zatch Bell District!' It's me, Parco Folgore!" Folgore yelled in his thick Italian accent.

"For the bambinas, it's Megumi Ooumi!"

Megumi strutted up to the platform like a model and paused a step to adjust the straps on her purse, which held Tia and her spellbook.

"For the boys, we have Kiyomaro Takamine!"

Kiyo walked nervously up to the stage with Zatch squirming around in his duffle bag.

"Don't worry. I'm sure that they've trained enough to handle this," Megumi said, trying to calmed down a scared Kiyo.

"Heh. I know," Kiyo said. "It's us I'm worried about."

District 10

"Hello, 'Sailor Moon District.' The girl tribute is Usagi Tsukino and the male is Mamoru Chiba," said Haruka Tenoh, a.k.a. Sailor Uranus.

That was quick, Mamoru thought.

District 11

"Hi, 'Soul Eater District!' I'm Black Star! You can ask for my autograph later! I'll be availa-"

"Anyways," Tsubaki said, cutting him off, "the female tribute is Maka Albarn."

Maka stiffened, but then walked up to the stage with her scythe Soul Eater in her hand.

"We've got this one in the bag!" Soul said confidently.

Maka smiled in spite of the situation.

"Yeah."

"The boy tribute is... Death the Kid!" Tsubaki announced.

"Okay. If I aim my shots right, they should go exactly through the middle of the enemy..." Kid muttered to himself.

Maka and Soul groaned.

District 12

"Hello, 'Prince of Tennis District!' I'm Tomoka! I'll be announcing your tributes now!" Tomoka said excitedly.

"Sakuno Ryuzaki!"

Sakuno's heart practically stopped for a minute. Then, she began to cry.

"Ryoma Echizen."

Ryoma kept his usual calm façade as he walked up to the platform.

"Hey, Sakuno," he said casually. Sakuno responded by running to him and hugging him, still sobbing.

"Ry-Ryoma! I-I'm g-g-gonna die!" Sakuno sobbed hysterically.

Ryoma attempted to calm the crying girl by giving her an awkward hug, but it did little good.

He knew he would win, just like he won all of his tennis matches.

This would be a cinch for him.
