"No."

He pressed the skip button.

"No."

He pressed it again.

"No."

And again.

Rocket exhaled, irritably, throwing down the remote in frustration. He'd been looking through the video files but he just couldn't find the footage he wanted from an old Snow Kids vs. Shadows game. It was important that he found it in order to make some strategy notes for an upcoming match, but it was no-where to be seen.

And maybe it was his own fault for having so many video files on his computer (that was linked up to the holo-tv); he hadn't even sorted them into folders (something he was now wishing he had done). Still, he did need all those files, it was work not play.

He sighed, wearily and picked up the remote again, half-heartedly pressing the skip button.

He froze when he saw an unfamiliar video, the realisation that it was Tia's suddenly dawning on him- she sometimes used his computer when Mei was hogging their computer, busy shopping online for the latest trends.

Instead of skipping it, he decided to watch, driven by curiosity.

It started with a wide shot of Akillian, covered in Snow, looking completely de-saturated. He watched as he saw himself walk into frame.

From his hair, he could tell that it was from a few years ago, but he couldn't exactly remember when.

He was slouching, looking over some railings at something far away, his face not looking at the camera.

What had he been looking at? He couldn't remember.

Perhaps it was nothing, perhaps he was just staring into the distance, thinking. It looked like the Rocket of the video didn't even realise Tia was standing there, watching him. It was a strange thought, like she was some invisible presence in the video, like a ghost.

The sun broke through the clouds, dousing the shot in golden light, all of a sudden. He saw a hint of a smile on his own face now. That Rocket took one last glance into the distance, shrugged, and walked away in the opposite direction to the camera, disappearing forever.

"Bye," Rocket, the current Rocket, said to himself quietly as he turned off the holo-tv, watching the screen fade to black.

For rosehill, the prompt was : A character (any character) watches one of Tia's videos. I hope you like it, rosehill, I know it's a little odd. Review please!
