This story is co-written by me, Florairmatylee, and my twin sister bs13. We thought the hunger games and Avatar together would equal complete awesomness, so here goes. We do not own Avatar the last airbender or the Hunger Games. This is about Ty lee, who doesn't get the recognition she deserves. This story will be original, no copying of the Hunger Games, except for crucial parts. It's the Avatar characters if they lived in the Hunger game's world. So it's not an actual crossover, but still. Hope you like!
Sunlight floods through the crystal windows. I press myself into the soft pillow, squeezing my grey eyes shut in hopes to avoid the day. No such luck. A guard is already walking into my room to escort me to training. Representing District Two in the Hunger Games is a big deal, and all kids from 12 to 18 are required to train in case the occasion should arise that they were chosen. I'm 14 and have been spared for two years. Us kids are trained to want to be in the games, but I don't. I really like life and aren't ready to give it up. So I'm hoping not to be Two has the largest pool of victors in all of Panem and I would not be confident that I would win.
In the dining room, before training, we're served breakfast. Hot chocolate, rolls, eggs, potatoes, ham and other foods. The other trainees chat away with each other, and I have to practically have to pinch myself not to be tempted to jump into the conversation. I'm a people person and very good at making friends. The trainers for the games said if I was to go into the games, I'd win the crowds favor easily. I'm pretty, I'm young, and I've got a bubbly personality. That doesn't mean I'm eager, as I said before. I wouldn't want to be at mercy of strangers, sponsors being my lifeline. That's why I try not to make friends in my trainee group. I couldn't imagine killing any of these people if they or I get chosen.
We're lead into the training room, which is set up just like the Capitol's. We're all forced to participate. I'm not good with weapons or camouflage or even knot tying. I'm more of a hand-to-hand combat girl. I've got a real knack for chi-blocking, which leaves my victims helplessly falling to my feet. No one else can do it. I send quick jabs to my opponent's body in crucial areas and making the arms and legs malfunction. It can even take away bending for a while. Bending is a special skill, only few people can bend the elements. I'm a non bender, too bad. The winners of the games are usually benders. It's an unfair advantage they have but it's legal to use bending in the arena.
Today the trainees, including myself, are nervous. Reaping Day is tomorrow. The odds of me being chosen are slim but you can't blame me for worrying. The idea of fighting to the death sickens me. I don't even like watching the games. Lost in thought, one of the trainees grabbed my arm. I was caught off guard but used her arm to an advantage. Using her shoulder for support, I jumped into the air, my toes perfectly en pointe to the sky. I somersaulted over her and landed perfectly on my feet. I jabbed her back a dozen times and my opponent fell. The match was over. I had won.

Straight from the Capitol was an overly made-up woman named Joo Dee gave the usual speech about the games and what an honor it was to be a tribute.
"Now, to select our tributes!" Joo Dee said, smiling in her creepy way. "Ladies first, as always." She reached inside the reaping ball, the slips of paper swirling through her fingertips. Probability the only lifeline these kids have. Everyone was holding their breath, cameras trained on Joo Dee. She selected a slip, read it, then turned to face the crowd, grinning widely. "Representing District two as our female tribute is: Ty lee!"
People turn to look at me, but my brain doesn't seem to process what's happening. My 5 sisters are yelling my name, tears streaming their faces. I hear voices, see people clearing away from me. Peacekeepers grab my shoulders. My friend Kori reaches out and touches my hand before I'm lead away and shoved onstage. Joo Dee smiles at me and turns to the crowd again. I'm gaping like a fish to the citizens of District Two.
"Our female tribute Ty lee!" Joo Dee said. Then it finally sinks into my mind. I'm going to the Hunger Games.
The first chapter is short, but bs13 will be writing the next chapter. The story will be focused on Ty lee as the main tribute, and the boy tribute will be revealed next chapter. Who could it be? Well it's not that important anyway. Still, we would love to know what you think. Read/Review if you like. Thanks.
