AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT...
The woods were dark and freezing cold. Quistis shivered a little. I'll get warmed up in a minute, give me a few monsters and I'll be fine... She walked further on but still no monsters.
"Even the monsters don't want to know me," Quistis sighed unhappily. Suddenly she felt her foot go right through the ground beneath her.
"Ouch!" She began to feel herself slipping. The floor opened up and seemed to swallow her as she fell into the dark depths.

DROPOUT...
"NOT GOING?!?" Selphie bellowed at Squall, "you can't just 'not go'. Why aren't you going?"
"Selphie... I have a pile of work to do and it's just isn't my type of thing."
"B-but we've been planning this for two weeks now, you can't just drop out!" Selphie whined, "Irvine, tell him!"
Irvine walked over to Squall, "I think she's kinda right Squall. You promised..."
"I didn't promise anything. I'm sure you'll all be fine without me."
"SQUAAALLLL, you know we all have to be together on Christmas day, it's so unfair," Selphie sulked.
"Look, you'll see me when you get back, OK! I don't wanna do and that's the end. I'm not changing my mind," Squall frowned.
"FINE, we don't need you anyway. Come on Irvine, let's go," Selphie pulled Irvine to Squall's dorm room door and slammed it as she went out.
Irvine shook his head sadly as Selphie stormed off down the corridor. She had been planning this party to every last detail and wanted it to be perfect. Irvine knew that Squall had just spoilt it all. Irvine ran after her, concerned.

HEADING OFF...
"Okay, so who are we supposed to be taking?" Zell asked.
"I think it's just us. I'm sure Selphie and Irvine are taking Quistis. We were meant to be taking Squall but as you know he's not going," Rinoa replied, rolling her eyes as she talked about Squall.
"Oh yeah, Selphie went really mad didn't she?" Zell laughed.
"Well, I'm not pleased with him either. Selphie's right to go mad. I'll miss him so much on Christmas day but I'm not staying here just because he is. I really want to go to Trabia."
"Yeah that does suck a bit huh? Anyway shall we put the stuff in the back-seat?" Rinoa nodded at Zell and helped him pack their luggage into the rented car.
* * * * *
OOPS...
"Right, all set Irvy?" Selphie smiled at Irvine as she loaded the decorations into Irvine's new car.
"Yeah but where are the others?"
"I dunno. Shall we just go ahead and wait for them there? We aren't taking anyone anyway. We were supposed to be taking Squall but obviously now we don't have to. Quistis is going with Zell and Rinoa and they're not here so they probably have already gone."
"I suppose so." Irvine opened the car's passenger door for Selphie.
"Awww can't I drive?" Selphie whined.
"No. I only just got this baby, I don't want it wrecked."
"Are you trying to say I can't drive?" Selphie frowned.
"I'm not saying that!... Oh whatever just get in," Irvine gently pushed Selphie into the passenger seat. Selphie sulked but soon came around when Irvine said that she could be on radio station choosing duty.
Several hours passed and Selphie drifted off into a deep sleep. She awoke to hear the car making a weird spluttering noise.
"Uh oh," Irvine frowned.
"What? What is it?"
"Um, I think we just ran out of fuel..."
"WHAT!!! Didn't you check the tank before we left?" Selphie yelled.
"...no... Well I would have if you hadn't been bugging me about the stupid decorations," Irvine shouted back.
"BUGGING YOU?!?... STUPID?!? Excuse me, I'm not the one who forgets to put fuel in the car before heading off on a long journey! Geez if you'd have just let me drive!"
"Whoa, Sef, calm down!"
"Where are we?"
Irvine consulted his map, "Somewhere between this mountain and this mountain, I'm not sure. We are in the Trabia region though."
"Oh just great! We are totally lost and it's all your fault!" Selphie began to yell again ,"AND we are going to freeze to death out here."
"Hello, I think it was YOU that was supposed to be navigating us!"
"Yeah well why didn't you wake me up?!?"
"Why did you fall asleep?!?"
"Because... Because... oh who cares?!? We're never gonna get anywhere arguing like this... We need to go and find help."
"Yeah but we are like in the middle of nowhere. What do ya think we're gonna find? A nice, friendly Bed and Breakfast?"
"Don't be sarcastic with me, Irvine... I'm just saying that we need to go and see if there is any civilization out here."
"I'm sorry... Okay, I'll go. You stay here with the car and I'll go get some help."
"No oh!!! I'm not staying here on my own. I'm going with you, besides you need someone to protect you!" Selphie laughed.
"... Alright but it's getting dark now. We'll sleep in the car and in the morning we'll go look around."
"... I dunno. Maybe we should go now, it's far too cold to sleep here."
"But it wont help if we get lost in the dark and freeze out there. At least we'll have shelter here."
Selphie sighed, "oh okay then... But I'm having the back seat!!!"
"Good. I think I'll join you back there."
"I don't think so. No way!"
"Awww Selphie!"
"NO!!!"
"Right, but first thing tomorrow we have to head out and get some help," Irvine settled down uncomfortably on the front seats.
"Irvine..." Selphie whispered.
"Yes?" Irvine asked hopefully.
"Who put you in charge?" Selphie giggled.
"Oh..." Irvine smiled, "goodnight Selphie."
The woods were dark and freezing cold. Quistis shivered a little. I'll get warmed up in a minute, give me a few monsters and I'll be fine... She walked further on but still no monsters.
"Even the monsters don't want to know me," Quistis sighed unhappily. Suddenly she felt her foot go right through the ground beneath her.
