---NEW YEAR, NO MIND---
Fantasy cast: Chloe Cherry, Nickey Huntsman, Codey Steele
The end of the year was drawing near as Nickey was celebrating with her boyfriend Codey. Also joining the happy couple was Nickey's friend Chloe, who was spending new year's eve alone after her boyfriend dumped her two weeks previously. As Chloe sat on the couch, looking a bit sad while watching the new years eve live musical performances, Nickey sat on the couch next to her to console her.
"It'll be alright Chloe, it's gonna be a whole new year and you'll have plenty of guys AND girls to date.."
"I just wanted to have someone to kiss when the ball drops..." Chloe said in a somber tone.
Nickey smiled as she put her hand on Chloe's leg and quietly said "Well you just might!"
Chole began to blush at Nickey before Nickey's boyfriend Codey entered the room, carrying a bowl of chips.
"What are you two whispering about in here?" he asked.
"Oh nothing sweetie.." Nickey said as she patted him on the knee as he sat on the couch next to the two of them.
Codey smiled at Nickey before looking over at Chloe.
"So Chloe, any new year's resolutions?" he asked.
Chloe rolled her eyes and played with her fingernails as she said "Yeah, don't date assholes, for one thing!"
Codey chuckled and nodded his head "Yep, that's a good one haha"
The new years eve show on TV switched back to the main stage as the clock ticked towards midnight.
"Oh shit, I almost forgot the confetti poppers," Codey said as he got up off the couch.
"Well hurry back before the ball drops" Nickey said as Codey walked out of the room.
The two girls sat together and looked at the TV, seeing the bright ball hanging with the large clock below it. Suddenly the girls felt a strange tingling sensation as they looked at the ball.
"Wow... the ball looks.... Different this year..." Chole said, struggling to look away from the TV to talk to Nickey.
"Yeah.... it looks so.... Soothing..." Nickey said as her speech began to slow.
