Regular Challenge: First Meetings
For my first contribution to the new cycle of challenges, I thought I'd continue the theme of beginnings--with some images from first encounters between the characters in the films. Use them in whatever context you please.
* You may use only the images provided.
* Blending, use of textures, etc. is permitted. Animation is not.
* You may submit up to four icons for this challenge.
Theme Challenge: Lyrical
We go from firsts to last: the song is "If Today Was Your Last Day", by Nickelback. There's a lot of imagery to play with in these lyrics, so I'm really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with!

"If Today Was Your Last Day" - Nickelback
My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had, if today was your last day?
What if, what if, if today was your last day?
Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts 'cause there's no second try
So live like you're never living twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life
If today was your last day and tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past?
Donate every dime you had?
And would you call those friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories?
Would you forgive your enemies?
And would you find that one you're dreaming of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love if today was your last day?
If today was your last day
Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart?
You know it's never too late to shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
'Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
'Cause the hands of time are never on your side
