CHAPTER 2: OK! I'm introducing two of my friends to this story now! They are Veronica and Nick! Enjoy! ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Zell: "Who in their right mind would come here in the middle of the night?!"

Emerald: "Excuse me? I came in the middle of the night, did I not?"

Zell: *Sweat drop* "Um.err...I mean.. Am I in trouble?"

Emerald: "Not if you answer the stupid door you lunatic!!"

Zell: "Alright alright. I'll answer the dumb door." *Answers the door*

Girl in the hall: "Hi Zell! I really have to talk to you."

Zell: "You had better not kiss me. One girl has already tried that." *Looked back at Emerald*

Girl in hall: "Really??? Well then. No. I'm not here to kiss you!! It's just, I had a disturbing phone call! I found out that my grandmother passed away. Your dorm is closest to mine, so I came to see you!" *Starts crying*

Emerald: "Zell? Who is it?"

Zell: "It's Veronica! She's having a bit of a crisis! Come on in Veronica."

Veronica; "Thanks a lot Zell. I knew you were the right person for me to go to." *Enters Zell's dorm room*

Zell: "Yeah. No problem." *Smiling*

Emerald: "Hey Veronica. Do you mind filling me out on this crisis of yours?"

Veronica: "Sure. I just received a call from my parents. They told me that my grandmother just passed away last night."

Emerald: "Oh. I am so sorry. Maybe we should tell Instructor Trepe. You'll be able to take time off of school."

Zell: "Yeah! Emerald has a point there. You should let Instructor Trepe know!"

Veronica: "Yeah. I guess you guys are right." *Rushes away to tell Instructor Trepe about her grandmother* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ NEXT MORNING ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Zell: *Met up with Emerald* "Hey. Good morning."

Emerald: "Hi. 'Morning."

?: "Hey. What's everybody up to today?"

Emerald: "Hey Nick. Everything is cool with us. Maybe you should be asking Veronica instead of us."

Squall: *Rushes over* "Why? What happened to Veronica?"
