Blizzy was leaning against a train window, her cheek slowly turning red because of the coolness of the glass. Her breath made the glass turn white and foggy. Next to Blizzy was a seven month old David. He too was quite cold. 

"Don't worry, David. It's just winter." Blizzy tried reassuring her shivering son. However, that didn't stop him from whimpering and crying. "Aww..." Blizzy picked up David, and hugged him closely. "The heat is bound to turn on soon. The train people are fixing it as we speak." 

 Blizzy knew David didn't understand what she was saying. But by the looks of it, David had been comforted by her words. He stopped crying at least.

"Mick?" Blizzy called over to the bar area of the cabin. 

"Yeh?!" Mick's snappy response came back, making Blizzy widen her eyes and look at him weirdly. 

"David's really cold. Are they close to getting the heat running again?" Blizzy asked Mick, hoping that he would know something about the current situation of the heat. 

"One second." Mick sighed softly and walked over towards his girlfriend and son, with a drink in hand. "No. It's not fixed yet." 

"Oh, ok." Blizzy said quietly. She was sad because she honestly didn't want to see little David shiver this much.

"You know what?" Mick set his drink down onto the table and slipped off his velvet blazer. He put it around David, swaddling him pretty much. "This might keep him warm."

"Probably," Blizzy nodded in agreement. "thank you." 

"Mhm." Mick then picked up his drink, and walked back over to the bar. He was more interested in talking to strangers and flirting with the bartender, rather than be around his own small 'family.'

But at least he wasn't smoking near David anymore. That was one good thing about this crappy situation. 

"What's wrong with him?" A woman from the next booth over peered over at Blizzy and David, hoping for a conversation.

"Huh?" Blizzy looked over at the woman, recognizing her. "Shirley!?" 

Shirley smiled at Blizzy sweetly, looking fashionable as always. Blizzy noticed that Shirley was pregnant, or at least looked like it. Now Blizzy was curious, but didn't want to ask that question for that would be quite rude. 

"Yep! It's me!" Shirley held her smile. "May I ask you something?" 

"Sure." Blizzy replied.

Shirley's voice suddenly dropped quieter, into almost a whisper. And her smile disappeared. 

"What's wrong with Mick?"

"Uh..." Blizzy thought about the past month, and how things only got worse. Mick was gone more often, and barely was around to even see David. Mick was busy working on new music and stuff, yes. But it was easy to see that he was doing more than just music. Their relationship had only gotten worse and worse. More arguing, and arguing, and arguing. Bickering, lying, you name it. The relationship was terrible behind closed doors, but seemingly perfect in the public's eye. 

"A lot," Blizzy firmly nodded. "We've been arguing, and Mick's been cheating a lot. He hardly even cares for either of us anymore. He doesn't seem to care much for David anymore... He seems more interested in sex. Like always. He doesn't love me, and yet I don't know why he didn't dump me by now." 

Shirley knew that this wasn't even the whole story. Something worse was going on, Blizzy just didn't want to tell. But either way, Shirley wanted to comfort her the best she could. "I'm sorry, dear... But might I ask if you still love him?"

"... I'm afraid to say that yes. I am." Blizzy shamefully looked down at her feet. She wasn't sure why she still loved Mick, but she did despite how many times he stabbed her heart and made her feel like dirt.

Shirley deeply inhaled. "Well... Uh..." 

"I know. Terrible, huh?" Blizzy gave out a short chuckle. "Oh foolish me for being so foolishly in love."

"Well, I mean think of it this way," Shirley paused. "He's stayed with you for this long. It might mean something." 

"Maybe. Or maybe not." Blizzy hugged her dear son closely, and looked out the window. The sun was already setting, and the stars started to peek out overhead. The snow died down and was reduced to nothing as the snow already on the ground glittered in the moonlight. The tempature dropped below freezing, but thankfully the heat was fixed and was on currently. Mick was still at the bar, chatting away, and Blizzy decided to take out some baby food and feed it to David. After all, that poor baby must've been hungry. 

Eventually, Blizzy was served some hot chocolate and a chocolate chip cookie. Even Mick sat down with Blizzy at the table to eat some cookies. Around an hour or so later, the train slowly screeched to a hault. A few workers on the train opened up the doors and pulled out the stairs. They checked each cart, just to make sure nothing was broken and everything was still in tact. 

Blizzy stepped off the train with small David in her arms. She made Mick carry the bag, because he needed to help out with something rather than just stand there and smile. The rest of the stones were behind them with their own loved ones and girlfriends. A few reporters and paparazzi were standing in the fridged cold, with cameras being held in their shaking, blue hands. The reporters were barely able to hold pencils, much less write!

Right outside the train station, a limo was waiting for everyone. It would have enough space to fit everybody thankfully. The chauffer opened the door to let everyone pile on in, and closed it once everyone was in there and accounted for. The inside of the limo was decorated with fluorescent green lights and red beads, trying to give this ride a little bit of christmas spirit!

The limo then made a quick 7 minute drive over to a good sized building in downtown Bristol. The limo quickly parked, and the chauffer let everyone out quickly before driving away. All the stones and the birds looked around, having never been here before. 

A man who stood by the door who wore a fancy black tuxedo got up to greet the popstars and their birds. 

"Welcome to this little convention," The man proceeded to shake all five of the stone's hands. "Enjoy your time here." 

"Thank you, I'm sure we will." Mick put on a smile before walking inside, ahead of everyone else. 

"Looks like you're real excited for this." Brian muttered under his breath and glared over at Mick as he walked inside the building.

"This seems quite nice." Charlie commented and smiled at all the Christmas decorations. "Right, Shirley?" 

"Mhm! I like these silver trees! They look quite nice!" Shirley nodded in agreement as the two of them walked inside and away from everyone else. 

Bill simply gave a smile and walked inside. Keith decided to follow Mick around, mostly to bug him. Blizzy was left by herself pretty much. Just her and David in a party full of popstars and movie stars. 

How fun.
