Katniss is in the Remake Center getting her legs waxed by Venia, a woman with aqua hair and gold tattoos on her eyebrows. She's also been scrubbed clean and had her nails done. The only thing they've left the same is the braid her mother had arranged.

After every hair is plucked, they call in her stylist, Cinna. When he arrives, Katniss is surprised by how normal he looks. Even his voice doesn't mimic the Capitol accent. Cinna compliments Katniss' braid, and tells her he is a new stylist for the Games. He says that he specifically asked for District 12, Katniss' home and the least favored District.

The two discuss Katniss's outfit for the opening ceremony. Usually the get-up has to do with the industry of the district. This means coal-mining. Katniss expects a coal miner outfit, but Cinna says no, this year, they're focusing instead on coal.

A few hours later, Katniss is dressed in a black unitard and a streaming orange, yellow, and red cape, that Cinna plans to set on fire during her chariot ride to the stadium.

The chariot from each district starts moving along in the parade until it's time for District 12 - that's when Cinna lights both Katniss and Peeta on fire.

At the last minute, Cinna motions for Peeta and Katniss to hold hands, adding the perfect touch of rebellion

The Capitol audience loves them and they have even bothered to find their names on the program. Katniss and Peeta are still gripping hands when the chariot is heading back to the Training Center and Peeta tells Katniss she should wear flames more often. Katniss smiles.

Katniss remembers then that Peeta is trying to kill her. But two can play at this game, so she goes on her tiptoes and kisses him on the cheek.
