Arya headed over to where she saw Carrie. There was still quite a few people standing around her, and all the other YouTubers, so Arya decided to stand back a bit and wait. After about 10 minutes, somebody shouted "Look! It's Bertie!" so pretty much all the girls ran screaming in the direction of the voice. Arya slowly made her was towards Carrie, who looked exhausted. She didn't get all over-excited and start fangirling because she figured Carrie had already had enough of that.

"Hey." Arya said quietly. She was surprised by how short Carrie really was, but then again, being nearly 5'10", most girls were short compared to her (even though she did slouch quite a bit).

Carrie, who'd been looking in the direction of the crazed masses, turn to face in Arya's direction, and then noticing her height, looked up. "Hi there." She said with a tired smile. "What's your name?"

"Arya." She replied. "Sorry, you look exhausted and I'm robbing you of your chance to have a break. I'll... I'll go now." Arya said, turning around.

"No!" Carrie called out, stopping Arya in her tracks. "Don't go, it'll be nice to have a proper conversation today. You said your name was Arya?" Arya nodded. "That's an unusual name... Nice to meet you." Carrie smiled. "Hey, didn't you have a bunch of people talking to you earlier?"

"Yeah, that was me... not what I was expecting to do today." Arya bowed her meekly.

"Cool, so you make videos?" Carrie asked. They spoke to each other for about half an hour, about YouTube, books, and just generally random things, like hair. By the time the crowd started coming back from meeting Bertie, Arya felt that she and Carrie had gotten to know each other quite well. Just as Arya was about to leave, Carrie stopped her. "A bunch of us - you know, like Jack, Dean, Dan, Phil, and that - are going to get something to eat later, do you fancy coming?"

Arya smiled. "I think I'm already going..." Carrie looked intrigued. "Dan asked me if I wanted to go somewhere with 'him and the guys' later, so I guess that means-" Arya trailed off as that crazy Chrissy girl waltzed up behind Carrie and scowled at Arya.

The girl coughed loudly to get Carrie's attention, and when that didn't work, she walked right in between Carrie and Arya, stepping on Arya's foot in the process. "Excuuuuuse me!" She announced loudly, making it sound like Arya was in her way. Arya didn't argue, she wasn't that sort of person, so she and Carrie waved to each other as she backed off. Arya could feel the girl glowering at her as she walked away.

Arya spent the next couple of hours milling around, talking to loads of different people, something she wasn't at all used to, but was really starting to enjoy. She was surprised by how many people made videos on YouTube and ended up writing down loads of channel names, and giving out hers to many more. She also got to talk to some other, more 'famous' YouTubers, including Bertie (after the masses of squealing teenage girls had subsided slightly). At around 3pm the Secret Santa started. Arya had brought a cute little snow globe necklace that she'd made with a miniature Christmas tree in it, with her twitter username written on a small piece of paper with it so she could find out who got her present. People started leaving as the sun set and the air turned frigid.

Not much later, there was only a group of about eight creators left standing in the square. Dan looked around for Arya, be he couldn't see her. Arya had gone for a walk to get away from the crowds earlier on, but nobody had seen her for quite some time. Suddenly, a scream was heard. Everyone tensed and looked in the direction it had come from, where there were lots of trees. Dan was alarmed. What if that was Arya? What if she's in trouble? He relaxed slightly when he heard a dog bark and started walking in the general direction that the scream came from. He remembered Arya's exact words from when they had spoken earlier. "Let's just say that dogs and I don't get on." God... was it only this morning?

They were all anxious to find out who screamed and were speculating what could've caused it. None of them thought that Dan knew the answer.

Soon enough, Dan saw a flash of bright red hair high up amongst the bare, snow covered branches. He was amazed that she'd managed to climb so high, but then he remembered seeing her run that morning. She must be really fit... unlike me... What didn't surprise Dan though, was the Boxer at the base of the tree, jumping up and down and barking like crazy. Arya was clinging onto the tree as if her life depended on it. She looked like a cat who was trying to escape the big scary dog (except without the hissing and the claws).

Carrie suddenly appeared next to Dan. "Arya, is that you?" She asked, disbelievingly.

"Well I'm not behind you, am I?" Arya called back down, Oh there was the sass again. Everyone she'd spoken to today had got a fair amount of sass aimed their way.

Dan sighed. This girl really was a mystery. "Arya, why don't you come down?" He called up to her.

"I told you already, I don't like dogs!" She shouted back restlessly, coaxing an intrigued look out of the others. "Just get rid of it already." She muttered to herself.

At that moment, the dog's owner came trotting up, leash in hand and apologised. She had the most puzzled expression on her face as she looked between Arya and the group at the base of the tree. She attached the leash to the dog's collar and walked off, occasionally glancing back and walking just a little bit faster each time she did. To be fair, everyone was staring at her in silence as she walked away, which might have been just a tad creepy.

"Will you come down now? Or are we going to have to have to call a fireman to fetch you down like a lost kitten?" Dan called once the lady was out of earshot. He instantly regretted saying that.

Arya laughed, considering the option. She looked around, checking for any other dogs, before climbing down part of the way, until she ran out of branches. "You'd best stand back... I'm going to jump."

A/N: Sorry for the crappy chapter, I'll try and make the next one a bit better. I'm so sorry if you went to the YouTube festive gathering and it wasn't like this, but I couldn't go, so I'm making it up as I go along (I live in Spain, dammit, it's not my fault! *internally raging at my parents for making me move over here*)

Let me know what you think ^_^ any thoughts are welcome!

Another quick question - What do you think about Arya and Carrie being friends? Good idea or too unreal?
