Winter had arrived at Shiz University. The trees had been stripped bare of their leaves long ago and the flowers decorating the Shiz gardens were now gone, leaving the ground seemingly lifeless. The only colour in the world appeared to be the glowing green and gold Lurlinemas decorations which were draped across Shiz's halls and illuminated the small shops windows. The charmed circle were preparing themselves for a day out on the snow which covered Shiz grounds.

Glinda was perfecting her hair, placing the last few pins in.

Elphaba was pulling on her gloves and coat, which much to Glinda's displeasure were black.

Pfanne, Milla and ShenShen were jumping around their room throwing scarfs and gloves everywhere.

Avaric was warming himself by the fire.

Boq was pulling on about fifteen extra jackets, to protect himself from the bitter cold.

Fiyero was polishing his leather boots, smiling with pride at his fabulous fashion sense and Crope and Tibbet were running riot around their dorm, eager to go outside.

After breakfast had been done large group of friends made their way out onto the back lawns of Shiz. Enchanting, white snow covered every bit of grass and every twig on every tree. No one else had dared to go out into this freezing cold yet so all of the snow was perfect, with no footprints. Glinda smiled at the sheer beauty of the snow admiring it's… 'WHACK'!!! Glinda let out a piercing squeal and looked at Fiyero in absolute disgust. A big chunk of white snow covered her perfect pink coat and Fiyero was standing there, doubling over with laughter. Before Glinda could retaliate though four snowballs rocketed through the air in Fiyero's direction, all but one missed. Glinda turned around tho see her friends all standing there laughing. The battle was on.

The girls ran away covering their heads and trying to find a hide out while the boys started madly gathering snowballs. The girls stopped at a huge tree and started to make snowballs as well. "I can't believe he did that, to me!" sobbed Glinda helplessly. Elphaba only sighed at her friend's 'misfortune'.

"There, that should do us," said Pfanne smiling at the large pile of white balls. "No, it isn't enough," rushed Elphaba, sure that the boys had more.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Milla ducked to the ground. The girls were under attack. Glinda and Pfanne held hands and ran to safety, well not really safety, but they ran. The rest of the girls ran to attack the boys. "BOQ GO AFTER GLINDA AND PFANNE!" roared Fiyero to the Munchkin, who in all this commotion was confusified. Boq did as he was told and – with an armful of snowballs (which by the way didn't happen to be much for Boq) – followed the girls and chucked snowballs at their backs.

"BICK!" screamed Glinda turning around abruptly. Boq's stomach fell, he would never ever have a chance with Glinda now, damit. He thought of something to say.

"Uh, um Miss Glinda I am very sorry for uh, throwing snowballs at you." Gee, that's a good way to win someone's heart.

Glinda just glared at the Munchkin and put her hands on her tiny waist.

A snowball narrowly missed Boq's head and he turned around to see Fiyero, scooping up more. Glinda saw this as her chance and picked up a lump of snow then called the Munchkin. "Bick!" he turned about to correct her, but was hit, smack-bang in the middle of his small face. At the same time another ball of snow hit the back of his head. He ducked to the ground as Fiyero called the rest of the gang over…it was going to be a long day for this little Munchkin.
