Winter break, a time when most of campus was empty, when most people were gone for the holidays. Key word, most. Of course you had to be stuck in another world, no way of going home. After your last friend went through the portal back to their home, you sighed, joking yourself up in ramshackle. What else was their to do?

Well, until the tweels showed up at your door. You worked at the monstro lounge after school so when they realized you probably weren't going anywhere, they invited you to Octovinelle for the holidays. "Better then burying yourself in this boring place anyways" Floyd commented as he practically dragged you off

Since then, you've been staying in the spare room, still helping out at the monstro lounge, even if most were home for the holidays. And since you worked in the back with Floyd, you two have grown strangely close. After all, you were the only one who could tolerate his squeezes without panicking

Currently, it was Christmas Eve, everyone else was already in bed, but you, who had grown quite homesick

Shrimpy! Floyd ran up and hugged you as you sat at the nearby window, watching the sea life what're you doin?
