--------------- Just another day. Just another day, right? That was all the Reaping ever was for Solar. As the sun rose higher into the sky, Solar was able to breathe easy from their spot in the plaza. They didn't have to stand with the other cats their age, no no, they stood with their manager, Mr. Heliot, and the rest of the Sunnydae representatives. The company had always reassured him, year after year, that there was nothing to worry about. That he would never be Reaped. And well, Solar didn't have any friends anyway, so there was no one for /him/ to be worried about. Someday. Someday this would end. Someday, things would be better. For everyone. Until then... "May the odds be ever in your favor!" And the Reaping began. One name was called, two, then three. Just a few more, now, then Solar could go home. "Oho, this is a fun one!" The announcer said with a slight laugh. "You'll never believe this- Solar Sunnydae!" Wait, what? But- Mr. Heliot began to gently push Solar forward, a signal to get moving. He had a grim smile on his face, like this wasn't unexpected. "Go on, kid. Remember- smile. Be charming. Be happy. They'll love you." /They'd better/, was left unsaid. Solar could see their own face on the cameras. Oh no, they looked... scared. Okay. Turn that frown upside down, Solar! The company's counting on you, Solar! Make them like you, Solar! -------------
