It was a snowy day outside which was a good sign for most kids. The adults were informed that today was going to be a snow day for the kids which meant they could play outside and have a day off from school because of the weather.

"I don't know if I wanna go to school, Thornton," Phoebe frowned to her big brother as she hugged her Raggedy Ann doll that Patch got her for her birthday. "I won't know anybody there."

"But that's the point of going to school," Thor smiled. "You can make friends there."

Phoebe frowned a little.

"Look, we found some kids your age that'll be in your new school, so maybe you can hang out with them since there isn't school today." Thor suggested to help cheer her up.

"Um, okay." Phoebe frowned.

Atticus, Cherry, Mo, and Patch met up with them as promised since they were off of school for the day too.

"So, where are the other kids?" Thor asked them.

"I think some of them are playing hockey." Cherry replied.

"And one of them is going to be coming out flying a kite." Atticus added.

Phoebe pouted as she still felt shy.

Patch soon had an idea and whispered to Cherry, Atticus, and Mo. "Um, do you think Frankie and Mr. Herriman would allow an imaginary friend to come out of the house for a little while for a day?" he then asked them quietly because he wanted this to be a surprise for Phoebe.

"Sure, but who do you have in mind?" Atticus whispered back.

"I was thinking maybe World." Patch replied.

"Yeah, he could help." Mo smiled.

Patch smiled back as they went to join the other kids as they played in the snow.

"Frieda and Patty are on my team." Lucy said.

"I got my hockey stick." Schroeder said.

"I got the skates." Franklin added.

"Who has the pucks?" Peppermint Patty asked.

"Looking good today, Pig Pen." Freida told the dirty boy.

"Sorry, I'm-Wait. Where's Charlie Brown?" Pig Pen replied.

"Still inside." Mo said.

"Come on, Charlie Brown!" The kids soon called out.

Phoebe hid behind her big brother from the big crowd of kids.

"Hey, who's that?" Lucy asked, seeing Phoebe.

"This is my little sister, Phoebe; she'll be a new student at your school." Thor told her.

Phoebe kept hiding.

"Bebe, come on out..." Thor said, grabbing his little sister and held her out in front of the other kids. "Say, hi! Make eye contact!"

Phoebe turned around, feeling shy.

"I said eye contact!" Thor told her, trying to make her look at them.

Although Phoebe didn't seem to do that. Thor sighed as he dropped his little sister into the snow, but luckily, it didn't hurt her.

"I've got my kite," Charlie Brown smiled to his friends as he soon came out to see them. "Today's the day. I can feel it."

"He's kidding, right?" Thor asked the kids.

"He's a blockhead." Lucy scoffed.

"That's not a very nice thing to say." Phoebe frowned.

"That Lucy tends to call Charlie Brown a blockhead." Dot said.

"Hey, kiddo!" Atticus smiled to his little cousin.

"Hey, Atticus!" Dot smiled back.

"How've you been?" Cherry asked her.

"Oh, ya know, same old, same old," Dot smiled. "Just having some fun with my best friend, Sally."

Charlie Brown's younger sister looked over and then gave a friendly wave to them as she was now Dot's best friend since that experience in Camp Remote.

"Aw!" Mo smiled.

Charlie Brown was soon trying to get his kite ready.

"Is winter the good season for kite flying?" Phoebe asked as she carried Raggedy Ann on her head.

"New kite, a perfect breeze, it all feels just right," Charlie Brown told her. "Now that the kite-eating tree's sleeping for the winter, we have nothing to fear."

"Kite-eating tree?" Phoebe asked out of confusion.

"Lift off!" Charlie Brown said as he soon ran as the kite seemed to lift off of the ground. "Wait a minute. It's in the air. It's flying! Hey, guys, look! Look, I did it!"

"Wahoo!" Phoebe cheered.

"Wait for it." Cherry said as she arrived next to Phoebe.

Charlie Brown was running so fast, he got tangled up in the kite's string and slid on the ice.

"Hey, Charlie Brown. Still no luck, huh?" Linus commented to his best friend. "Remember, it's the courage to continue that counts!"

Cherry soon had a camera out so she would record the whole thing. Charlie Brown was now sliding on the ice.

"Watch out, kids," Cherry smirked as Charlie Brown's kite seemed to attack the kids on the ice. "YouTube stardom here I come!"

"Cherry!" Atticus scolded.

"Oh, fine," Cherry pouted. "I won't post this."

"Stop filming right now!" Atticus told her.

"You are no fun at all," Cherry complained. "Can I at least keep filming until after he's ended up on the tree?"

"Cherry..." Atticus sighed.

"I'm gonna take that as a yes." Cherry replied as she kept filming, and where to her, everything that was happening on the ice seemed entertaining.

"What am I gonna do with you?" Atticus sighed to Cherry.

"Keep me?" Cherry replied.

"And now for my famous triple axle, prepare to be amazed." Lucy told the others.

Charlie Brown bumped into her, making her spin around.

"Ooh, a quadruple." Franklin commented.

"Bravo." Marcie added.

"Ooh, nice." Cherry smirked.

Charlie Brown soon flew against her. Cherry yelped to that and ran out of the way, but soon crashed into a tree with Charlie Brown, tying them both up into the tree.

"Ugh, stupid kite-eating tree." Charlie Brown groaned.

"...Cut..." Cherry groaned as she turned off her phone to stop filming.

They both soon Lucy skating over to them.

"Hey, Lucy." Cherry sighed.

"You blockhead!" Lucy glared to Charlie Brown. "I should've known. What kind of a person flies a kite in the middle of winter? Don't you know when to give up? You'll never get that kite to fly. Why? Because you're Charlie Brown."

"Well, that's a little uncalled for." Cherry commented.

"She's right." Phoebe said.

"Whatever!" Lucy replied before walking off.

Cherry rolled her eyes. Linus soon came over to help out Charlie Brown and Cherry.

"Thanks, Linus." Cherry said.

"Yeah, thanks." Linus added.

"Listen, Charlie Brown, ignoring what my sister, Lucy, says, have been able to make it this far in life." Linus advised.

"What would I do without a good friend like you?" Charlie Brown replied.

Cherry soon noticed a familiar beagle looking ready to grab Linus's blanket. Snoopy, took Linus's blanket and took Linus for a ride. Along the way, he took Sally with him.

"Ah, my sweet baboo," Sally smiled. "Isn't he the cutest thing?"

"That sister of yours sure is something." Phoebe said to Charlie Brown.

"Oh, she's something alright..." Charlie Brown nodded. "Who are you?"

"My name is Phoebe Moltenscar." Phoebe smiled.

"Nice to meet you," Charlie Brown smiled back. "I'm Charlie Brown."

Phoebe smiled back.

"Are you new in town?" Charlie Brown asked.

"I..." Phoebe was about to say what her home was until she thought back to some things her uncle told her about being in the Mortal Realm for school from now on.

"Remember, you can't tell anyone where you really came from," Drell told Phoebe. "Just say that you don't get out much, and you'll be starting school soon after being home-schooled for a while."

Phoebe then blinked and looked to him. "I don't get out much, and I'll be starting school since I've been home-schooled." she then said.

"Well, I hope we get to share the same class then." Charlie Brown smiled.

"I hope so too..." Phoebe smiled back as they seemed to become friends.

"I guess I better get my dad to fix my kite if he isn't too busy today." Charlie Brown said as he took his kite.

"I'm sure he will." Phoebe said.

Thor hid a small smile as his sister began to play with the other kids before getting hit with a snowball which made him glare and turn around. Cherry pointed to Patch in blame. Patch simply deadpanned at that. Thor soon took out his own snowball with a smirk.

"Avalanche!" Cherry called out and ran before getting hit with the snowball.

"Nice try, Cherry." Thor smirked.

Cherry pouted before throwing another snowball to him. They all laughed as they got into a snowball fight even though the kids thought they were 'too old' for that. Phoebe didn't seem to think they were 'too old'.

"Fetch!" Atticus laughed as he threw a snowball.

Patch laughed back as he soon ran and jumped in the air before catching the snowball in his mouth before eating it as he loved this version of Fetch, as did his master. Lucky smiled as he watched them all at play as he sat in the snow, keeping an eye on Dot. There seemed to be a moving van coming in as the kids were playing in the snow together.

"This is so much fun." Patch smiled.

"Guys, I think someone's coming." Dot said, pointing to the streets as a moving van drove down the road.

"Someone new must be moving in." Mo said.

They came over to the fence to take a closer look.

"Someone's moving in across the streets from me?" Charlie Brown asked in surprise.

"Looks like it." Dot said.

"I think I see a piano," Schroeder said. "I hope he loves Beethoven."

"Beethoven, Schmeethoven," Lucy scoffed before smiling. "I hope he appreciates my natural beauty."

"Who care about that?" Peppermint Patty replied as she stood on Marcie's head. "I hope he's a better goalie than Marcie."

"Why are you standing on her head?" Phoebe asked Peppermint Patty.

"So I can see." Peppermint Patty replied.

"You're hurting me, sir." Marcie groaned.

"I'm sorry, but it's true." Peppermint Patty said.

"No, you're pulling on my hair." Marcie told her.

"Yikes." Phoebe winced.

"Can you see, kid?" Peppermint Patty asked.

"Not really." Phoebe pouted.

Thor soon came out from under her and carried her on his shoulders with a smirk which made her yelp before laughing to him. And with that, she could see everything being moved in.

"I just hope he'll have an open mind about the Great Pumpkin." Linus hoped.

"I think they have a toaster." Sally commented.

"Who doesn't?" Mo asked.

Charlie Brown looked hopeful about meeting this new kid and making a good first impression, but then he accidentally broke the fence.

"Charlie Brown!" Phoebe cried out. "Are you okay?"

Charlie Brown soon looked up and just ran back home.

"He must have been embarrassed." Thor said.

"Oh, I feel bad for him." Phoebe pouted.

"You wanna go see him?" Thor suggested as he took her off of his back.

"Maybe." Phoebe said.

"Alright then." Thor smiled.

Phoebe soon held Raggedy Ann in her arms as she went to go and see Charlie Brown.

"Snoopy, why is it that everything I try turns out wrong?" Charlie Brown frowned as he talked to his dog. "Sometimes, I wonder if the kids really like me? Maybe that new kid will see me for who I really am. Like you. A dog doesn't try to give advice or love you, he just loves you for who you are. It's nice to have someone you know who just sits and listens to you."

Unfortunately for him, Snoopy hadn't listened to him as he had fallen asleep.

"Man's best friend." Charlie Brown sighed to himself.

Phoebe soon rang the doorbell as she held Raggedy Ann in her arms. After some time, the front door was opened.

"Hello." Phoebe smiled.

"Oh... Hi, kid... What's up?" Charlie Brown replied.

"I thought maybe I could come inside, you looked like you could use some company." Phoebe said to him as she hugged Raggedy Ann.

"Uh, okay." Charlie Brown said.

Phoebe soon walked in and then pet Snoopy with a smile. Snoopy seemed to like that as he smiled in his sleep. There was humming heard in the kitchen.

"Mm... Smells like cookies in there..." Phoebe smiled.

"That must be Mom." Charlie Brown smiled back.

"Moms make the best cookies," Phoebe smiled back. "I love it when my mom makes ones with chocolate spiders."

"...Spiders...?" Charlie Brown asked uneasily.

"I mean chips, chocolate chips." Phoebe smiled nervously.

"Hmm..." Charlie Brown replied.

"I must be thinking about Halloween cookies... Heh..." Phoebe rubbed her arm bashfully.

"Yeah, that must be it." Charlie Brown said.

Mrs. Brown smiled from the kitchen as she baked cookies. Charlie Brown soon came to see his mother.

"Oh, Charles," Mrs. Brown smiled to her son as she had a tray out of cookies. "You're just in time for some cookies~"

"Is Dad home yet?" Charlie Brown asked his mom.

"In a bit, Charles," Mrs. Brown smiled. "I asked him to run the store after he'd finish work today."

"Great, so then maybe he can help me fix my kite." Charlie Brown smiled back.

"Another one?" Mrs. Brown asked. "Was it the kite-eating tree again?"

"Yes!" Charlie Brown frowned. "I swear, Mom, I feel like the whole world is against me!"

"Oh, Charles, you shouldn't think like that," Mrs. Brown replied. "Just stay positive."

"Hmm..." Charlie Brown simply pouted.

"Who's your friend?" Mrs. Brown smiled.

"Hello, ma'am, my name is Phoebe." Phoebe smiled back to the woman.

"It's very nice to meet you, Phoebe." Mrs. Brown smiled back.

"It's nice to meet you too," Phoebe replied. "May I have a cookie?"

Mrs. Brown smiled and allowed her to have one. Phoebe soon took one of the cookies.

"What do you say?" Mrs. Brown prompted.

"Oh, thank you." Phoebe then said as she ate the cookie.

"You're welcome." Mrs. Brown smiled.

Phoebe smiled back as she liked this so far since she didn't really have any friends back home and usually hung out with her dolls or big brother.

After sometime, Charlie Brown's dad came in. Mr. Brown opened the door, carrying some bags.

"Um, Dad, can you fix my kite?" Charlie Brown asked his father.

"What's wrong with it?" Mr. Brown asked.

"The tree got it." Charlie Brown pouted.

"Again?" Mr. Brown sighed.

"Yeah..." Charlie Brown frowned. "Can you fix it for me?"

"Well... All right..." Mr. Brown replied. "Give it to me, and I'll get to it when I can."

"Thanks, Dad." Charlie Brown smiled.

"Of course..." Mr. Brown replied with a small smile back before looking at him. "Hey... Why aren't you in school?"

"Miss Othmar called, it's a snow day." Mrs. Brown told her husband.

"Oh... Right..." Mr. Brown then smiled bashfully.

Phoebe soon noticed Woodstock. She came out with a smile. "What a cute little birdie~"

Woodstock tried to fly up to the window, but seemed to hit the glass. Phoebe soon opened the window for Woodstock. Woodstock soon flew in, the best that he could before falling into her hands.

"Such a cute little bird..." Phoebe smiled before kissing him.

Woodstock seemed to blush from the kiss.

Phoebe giggled and smiled to Woodstock before looking to Charlie Brown. "Do you have a pet bird?"

"No, that's Snoopy's friend, Woodstock." Charlie Brown told her.

"He must visit a lot." Phoebe said.

"Yeah, he really does, and he seems to like you." Charlie Brown replied.

Phoebe smiled to that. "I've never had a real pet before."

"Really?" Charlie Brown asked.

"Uh-uh..." Phoebe replied. "I guess I just haven't been responsible enough for one yet."

"I'm sure you'll be responsible someday." Charlie Brown said.

"Thanks, Charlie Brown." Phoebe smiled.

Charlie Brown smiled back as they became friends. And where this was good news.

Later on, Phoebe soon left to meet up with the others after hanging out with Charlie Brown and his friends.

"So how'd go?" Mo smiled.

"Mrs. Brown let me have a cookie, and I met a bird, and they were all nice, and the doggy was cute!" Phoebe smiled back.

"Nice." Patch smiled back.

"Maybe now she'll leave me alone." Thor whispered to the others with a smirk.

"Maybe." Atticus shrugged.

"Thor, you love your sister." Mo said.

"...Yeah, but not when she's around all the time." Thor smiled nervously.

"Fair enough; sometimes we just need a little break from our little siblings." Atticus said.

Thor had a small smirk.

Later on, they soon went back to Thor and Phoebe's home to have some hot chocolate after Phoebe was done playing for a while.

"That sure was fun." Phoebe said.

"Glad you had fun, kid," Thor said. "I just hope you're ready for school when it starts up again."

"I'm sure I will." Phoebe smiled.

Thor smiled back as he felt happy that his little sister got to finally have some fun and make some friends. The others were also very happy for Phoebe.

"I'm sure you're gonna have school tomorrow," Thor said. "The snow seems to be clearing up a bit."

"Aww... I wanted to make a snowman with my new friends." Phoebe pouted.

"Maybe after school." Thor said.

"Hmm... Okay..." Phoebe replied. "Thornton, will you have a tea party with me and the Sky Dancers before bedtime?"

"...Sure..." Thor forced a smile.

"Yay!" Phoebe cheered.

Thor looked over to the others who chuckled to him about playing Tea Party with his little sister.
