Chapter One

"Ow!"

Tibbi screeched as she fell into the snow, Jason laughing as she did. Tibbi's long hair flew into her mouth, her jacket getting caught on her pants .A brunette girl ran after her, her short bouncy hair reflecting her character, Paine. Jason, a blonde boy with dark clothing, continued to laugh at the struggling Tibbi. Rachael, a girl with long brown hair and green eyes, jumped into the snow beside Tibbi.

"You ok Rikku?"

Tibbi nodded as she sat up, snow covering her entire face. In the distance, everyone saw a black figure coming towards them. Rachael smiled.

"Sexy Leblanc is here!"

Danielle finally arrived to the mid-winter bash Rachael was having, dressed in her usual black clothing, mascara smeared down her cheeks. Jason ran towards her and nearly ran her over, but Danielle flipped him so he missed her and landed face first into the snow. It was Tibbi's turn to laugh as Jason sat up with a white beard. Danielle perched herself up against a tree, regaining her 'cool' attitude everyone seemed to notice she was beginning to have. Leah looked at Tibbi.

"How did you fall?"

Tibbi shrugged.

"I tripped on something...."

Tibbi pulled a little glowing ball from the snow, and Rachael's eyes went big as she stared at it.

"That looks....like a....like a....."

"Sphere, maybe?"

Rachael shot Danielle a look as Danielle took the ball away from Tibbi, examining it for herself. Rachael snatched it back.

"It looks like a sphere-but it can't be. That stuff is pish posh.... doesn't exist. Isn't that what you said about Shuyin?!"

Danielle growled as Rachael ignored her comments, but she couldn't help but smirk. Danielle had a sick imagination, especially with her obsession with having sex with something that didn't exist-Rachael had to put a stop to that a long time ago.

"If it isn't a sphere...what is it?"

Leah took the ball and began throwing it up in the air. Jason caught it, and started examining it too.

"Look at the knobs! Maybe...if it is a sphere...we can watch it!"

Jason began to push and pull the knobs, and Danielle shook her head.

"It-isn't-a-sphere"

Jason stuck out his tongue as he wondered back to the house, everyone following him.

........::::::::::::::::::::::::::::............

It was almost past 10 o'clock, and Danielle was beginning to be bored.

"I'm tired"

"Shut up"

"I'm bored"

"Shut up"

The other four were still intending to find out what the ball was, but Danielle had lost interest in it long ago.

"I think I got it!"

Jason pulled one last knob. The yellow orb began making a sound, a clicking noise. A screen popped up, bit then vanished.

"CRED!!!!!"

Jason chucked the globe at the wall, pouting. Danielle, who had been sprawled out on the floor, sat up and stared at the pissed off Jason.

"Told you. It isn't a sphere, and if it is, it aint gonna work. Give up already."

Jason was about to say something, but bit his tongue. He knew Danielle was a wussy and would flip out if he said anything about her past. Tibbi picked up the unshattered orb.

"Weird............."

"I'm going to bed!"

Danielle finally declared as the night began to turn into early morning. The other four mumbled in response, and Danielle shrugged.

"Oh screw it"

Danielle grabbed the orb and put it in her robe, and curled up on the floor. Rachael looked at Danielle.

"Eh! Give it back!"

Danielle heard the hint of a giggle.

"Make me!"

Jason quickly jumped on Danielle, and the other three did the same.

"I wanna go to bed! UH!"
