*January 1st*
[All of the months are gathered around the center of Naturata's sphere. December is standing in the center, as January steps forward. Winter stands between them, taking one of each of their hands. Ice surrounds the three. As the clock strikes midnight, the ice disappears, and a blue aura surrounds January.]
Winter: The ritual has been done.
[May and June jump in a unison.]
May and June: HAPPY NEW YEAR!
[They blow into party horns, and everyone cheers.]
September: You're entering a whole new experience; going into adulthood, getting your right to vote, I'll be honest I'm a bit envious.
July: I am too! Why does January get to grow up but not me!?
[Spring pats July's hair and smiles.]
Spring: You'll eventually blossom as a newborn seed.
[July pouts.]
July: Well, I can't wait until that happens...
[Autumn walks over to January.]
Autumn: Happy Birthday, kiddo.
January: Thank you.
[January sits to the side. March's phone then vibrates in his pocket, as he took it out.]
May: Why are your pants vibrating again?
March: Because I got this new thing called a smartphone! My human friend showed it to me.
November: All of you should be getting plenty of rest for tomorrow. We've only stayed up until midnight because of New Years.
May: But I don't want to!
[November rolls his eyes.]
November: C'mon May, let's go to bed.
[He takes her hand as the two leave to Spring's room.]
[In the night, a figure is seen sneaking away from the town. The figure runs along a path to the Everfall Mountains. Behind the figure is another, slowly following the other figure. The first figure enters a cave entrance into the Everfall Mountains, and the second figure shortly enters after. The scene switches to January, no longer hidden in shadows, overlooking an ice sculpture of a deity of sorts. He hears a noise behind him, and looks behind him to see September.]
January: September!? What are you doing here?
September: What are you doing here?!
January: It's none of your business.
September: Don't try to keep secrets, I'm already here.
January: Ugh.
[January looks at the sculpture.]
January: This is the Idol of Ice. It is a source of... power, I guess. I noticed strange occurrences were happening, so I decided to see if the idol had anything to do with it. Sure enough, it seems something has gone wrong with it-now, I told you. Leave.
September: Look- January, I'm not leaving until you and I fix this thing.
January: Ugh... fine.
[September walks over to the Idol of Ice, examining it from top to bottom.]
September: Does Winter know about this?
January: No, and if you tell her I'll get you in trouble.
