The Winter Solstice is tomorrow! Unless you live in the southern hemisphere. But here, it is! There's also an eclipse tonight! So watch it if you can. Plus, IT SNOWED a bit here! YAY! Okay, that's it. Enjoy winter/summer! Also, I saw something about this on TV, so I wanted to write about it! The snow in California, not Channy.

Disclaimer: I want SWAC for Christmas! Unfortunately, I don't own it and I never will.

25 Days of Holiday Drabbles

Day 21: Winter Solstice

CPOV

December 21 2009

I looked at the ground, completely and utterly without snow. For once I wanted a white Christmas. I had come from Michigan, where we did have snow all winter. In the midst of my suffering, I heard my phone ring. Groaning, I picked it up.

"What?" I snapped. I was already mad about having no snow on the first day of winter.

"Wow Chad, no need to get huffy." The girl on the other line snapped. I recognized that voice anywhere.

"Sonny? What do you want?" I said, my voice softening a tad. Half of the time, she was trying to do something nice for me. I wasn't going to ruin that.

I could almost hear her smiling on the other end. "I have a surprise for you!"

"Does it have anything to Elephant manure, blue hair, a cat, some duct tape, a pair of pants and an excessive amount of applesauce?" I asked nervously.

She paused. "Have you been listening to Zora?" She teased.

"That is not something to joke about."

The brunette laughed. "Okay, well meet me outside in an hour. It has to do with snow. Are you okay with that?"

For the first time all day, I smiled. "That's fine. See you then." I almost hung up when I thought of something. "Are we going together?"

"Yes?"

"Well, we're going to tell any press that could possibly be there that we're not dating, just hanging out, got it? And we won't tell our casts." I added.

"No prob. Bye!" And then she hung up. I couldn't wait.

We had gotten there in Sonny's car. She didn't want to attract press . "Close your eyes! We're almost there!" I became nervous.

"Is there a landfill involved?" I asked, afraid. She rolled her eyes.

"No, but if you don't close your eyes there will be." Hesitant, I closed them. "Trust me a little, just for today." I would have argued, but then decided against it. When we had parked, she told me to open them.

What was in front of me was a park filled with snow and even a sledding hill! The snow was falling slowly from who knows where, and I couldn't be happier. "How did you know I missed snow?" She shrugged.

"You've been in California and the south for three years! You must want some snow." I hugged her. She was shocked at first, but then calmed down. You like her. A voice inside me said. No, I don't. I argued back. Sure. It said back. I shrugged it off.

"Let's go build a snowman!" She exclaimed.

"No, I want to go sledding." I said, pulling her toward the hill. She stopped, digging her heels into the ground.

"Snowman." I argued.

"Sledding." She said.

"Snowman."

"Sledding."

"Snowman."

"Sledding."

"Snowman."

"Snowman." I said, hoping to trick her into saying sledding.

"That doesn't work on me! We're making a snowman." She grabbed my wrist and tromped through the snow. I felt a little tingle through my wrist. You like her. Great, the voice is back. No, I don't! I argued. Sure. It said. Finally I gave in. Maybe I do! What's it to you? Now the voice was silent. Did I just lose to myself?

"Chad? Are you okay? You look lost." Sonny asked, genuinely worried.

"No, I'm fine." I said, smiling and rolling a snowball. This was exactly what I needed. Snow, and a little bit of Sonny weather.
