Long ago the Team decided that once a year they would have an epic snowball fight. There would be two teams that would be chosen by a generator on the computer. They couldn't exchange players or make alliances with the other team. Past experiences would be thrown out of the window and love was something that didn't exist. Victory was the only thing that mattered.
The rules were fairly simple. There were two flags, one in each fort built by the team in the first five minutes, which the other team would try to take down. The only weapon used would be snowballs, but they could be any size. Anything other than snow and tackling would be punished by five minutes on the side lines – except if they severely damaged another player then they would be kicked out. To stop fights from happening Red Tornado would be the referee.
This year's team blue was Dick, Jaime, Cassie, La'gaan, Karen and Conner. Team red was M'gann, Gar, Bart, Barbara, Mal, and Tim. They all put on their winter gear and went to the open space outside the mountain. Red Tornado stood by the sidelines as he started the pre-game five minutes.
Once the time was up and the forts were built everyone stayed still to see who would throw the first snowball. The air was tense as everyone held a snowball in each hand. Finally, someone threw the first one – that brave soul being Bart who was growing impatient. He aimed at Jaime who moved his head out of the way. Then the war began.
Snowball after snowball was thrown around to stop them. Bart tried to run over to take their flag, but was almost run over by a snowball ten feet in diameter. Cassie tried to get past their front line, but M'gann nearly buried her in snow. Mal attempted to use his football training, but was taken down by La'gaan.
After an hour Conner, Bart, M'gann and Dick were kicked out and rooting on their team by Red Tornado. The red team appeared to be working out a plan to get to the flag by having Gar turn into an octopus and throw snowball after snowball while the rest spread out and tried to get the flag. The blue team responded by focusing on their efforts on keeping them away.
When they were pushed back Cassie and La'gaan started charging, Cassie using her bracelets to block the snowballs and La'gaan puffed up. Jaime stayed back and provided them cover as they neared the fort. Then as they were almost there they stopped and turned around. The other team was confused for a moment until they heard wood splitting behind them.
As Cassie and La'gaan were distracting them Karen had gotten smaller and flew behind them. She had maneuvered around all of them until reaching the stick the flag was on. They tried to swat her away, but it was too late. Their flag had fallen and the blue team had won the match and the privilege of choosing what missions they go on for the next month.
