The Rules
Note: This is an edited, revised and finalised version. You can find the draft here. The next time Yuzuko woke up, she was in a padded cell with everyone, excluding Lisa and the bus driver. She hovered around, looking at the fear-stricken faces and stuttering bodies. Lavender's fruity perfume threw her off along. Screams were lost with the orchestra in the background. She saw that Bobby stuck close to Todd, appearing more at ease by somebody he knew and trusted. Yuzuko wrapped her arms around Sakura. "It's happening."

Dreams
Who would have thought that the library served well as a medical centre? Certainly not Fan. He was expecting endless corridors of bookshelves and dated signs. He thought his eyes were about to pop out with the cafeteria on the right, and the medical room on the left. Brushing his hands through the bookshelves, he jolted at his clean hands. "How do they keep this place so polished?"

Confrontation
Yuzuko had no idea where she was or how she ended up in darkness. Her backpack weighed her down on the floor. Panting and sweating, her palms stretched out against the wall. Her hair clung against her face as she tried to have a feel for a light switch. Why was it so silent?

Comatose
Constant beeping and distant chatter in the hallways made Yuzuko feel out of place. Every time she turned her face, she saw soldiers in slings and bandages. Many of the faces, Yuzuko had recognised from the party or the boardroom. She had never heard them speak before.

Price of Fame
The sun glistened on Harumi Lake. Its warmth reached down on Alfie and his mother paddling around the lilies. The goldfish passing by seemed friendly with the frogs bouncing on the leaves. Catherine twirled around. Giddiness with being so close to nature made her feel like a child again. Showing off in her bikini, she ventured deeper into the lake and began to swim.

Nature’s Gift
Aron's fishy breath kept the pillows warm. Rós rolled back onto her pillow, wondering if there was a block of ice below. She took her hand out from between her legs. "It feels like I haven't left home." It only took one look at the blazing sky for her to see how deceiving the blue skies were. Her country was not the perpetual winter that everyone thought it was, but their summers were always mild.

Second Scoreboard
If looks could kill, Sia was sure Sergeant Dust would rip her apart. He was talking to his soldiers but kept his eyes off Sia. Daz whizzed by, handing out cigars to everybody. Sia rubbed her hands, waiting for hers. Not that she smoked, she just hated being the left one out.

Happy Surprise Tours
Note: Some of this has been rewritten and revised. Original text in first draft stages is here. “Just play along. Pretend you haven't got a clue what's going on! Once you're at the airport, find the silver bus that says Happy Surprise Tours. Don't worry, if you can't find them, they'll find you."
