So once again, we return to the North Pole to find Lilly Sitting at a staff meeting after summer break. Frantically looking
around, yet with no avail, for the love of her life, Bernard. It was then that Santa gloomily announced that Bernard would
not be returning to them, for a certain incident had given him the sack. So now due to his absence, Curtis would be
replacing him at the workshop. 'But not in my heart…" Lilly thought near tears. Bernard had always been by the book, he
never did anything wrong! What had he done to cause such an unfortunate event? I suppose you're wondering many
things by now. Well, let me start off right after Lilly and Bernard kissed in the band room, that amorous scene.
Bernard of course had made sure Zack was watching Lilly's true feelings unravel. Zack after having have heard Lilly declare
her love for Bernard, thought maybe he could still get her to turn over to his side, cold and seductive. But he couldn't take it
the moment he witnessed Lilly's beautiful, finely draw lips touch those unruly and plain lips of Bernard. Zack had made a
run for it, crushed, despair and envy racing through every nerve in his body. He evaded Lilly and Bernard for the remainder
of the work year.
Now another question is what did Bernard do to get the sack? Well it wasn't so much what Bernard did, but what Jack
Frost did. For you see, old perverted Jack had also been keen of Lilly. He obviously didn't know of Zack since everyone saw
Lilly and Bernard had become inseparable. Having have fallen for the elven girl, he devised a vile plot in order to get
Bernard fired. Just on the last day of work, after all had cleared the factory but him and Bernard, he snuck in to the naughty
and nice center, and tampered the program so that nice kids were on the naughty list and vise versa. Frost made himself
scarce seconds after committing this, which left Bernard to blame. Santa, of course, had never believed it was Bernard who
caused this, but the evidence was incontrovertible.
Back to present time, Lilly was barely able to make through the staff meeting in one piece. Zack, sitting only a few feet
away immediately noticed, and for the fraction of a second had almost felt contempt for her, had almost rushed to her side
in order to sooth her sorrow. But no, she'd wounded him too deeply, so all he did was burn her even more with his icy
stare. Lilly merely had to glance at him to know his intensions, and could only suffer further. Ivana, Lilly's best friend-
turned enemy, was malevolently chuckling at Lilly's sorrow. 'Miss Perfect finally lost it all….now Zack's ALL mine...' she
thought immorally.
