*February 3rd*

[February, January, Claire, May, September, and August are in a minivan, as the windshield wipes away the blizzard.]

September: I told you guys; meteorologists aren't always wrong.

August: I'm still a skeptic.

September: Of course you are. How long until we're there, anyways?

Claire: We'll be there soon. Just hang in there.

May: But I'm too small to reach anywhere to hang!

[Claire laughs. Finally, after a few minutes, they come to a stop.]

Claire: We're here!

[September nudges May, who is fast asleep on her shoulder.]

September: May, wake up.

[No response.]

September: I can tell you're awake.

May: Aw, I wanted you to carry me!

[September chuckles.]

September: You're too old to be carried, May.

May: I'm only 12.

September: Exactly.

[Everyone struggles to get out of the minivan due to all of the snow. They then enter the house, and when September closes the door, the blizzard outside is still audible.]

Claire: I'll fix everyone a warm meal!

May: I'm hungry for food, so yay!

[Claire heads to the kitchen as everyone takes a seat in the living room. January and February sit separated from everyone else, August and May sit together, and September is preparing the fireplace.]

August: So... how is everyone?

May: Hungry. And I wanna play with Actinolite.

February: Well, I'm doing wonderfully! Thanks for asking.

August: Y-Yeah.

[September walks over and sits down between February and May.]

February: By the way, January? How did you meet Claire?

January: Are you sure you want to know? It's a little long.

February: Yeah! Tell us!

[February falls back into the couch, kicking her feet up.]

January: Fine...


[January can be seen in a grocery store. The store is almost empty except for a handful of customers and employees. January bends over to get something from the bottom shelf. Claire steps by him to get something from the top shelf, accidently causing a can to hit him on the head.]

Claire: Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry! I'll pay for your stuff...

January: Ngh... no, it's no problem. It would happen to anyone.

[January puts his items into the shopping cart and begins to walk away.]

Claire: No, seriously! There has to be something I can do to make it up to you for hitting you in the head!

January: It's no big deal.

[January pushes his cart into a check-out lane. A voice over an intercom can be heard.]

Voice: Attention customers, we are currently having severe weather conditions and it is advised to stay inside until we give further word.

January: Great...
