"Hey, Dani!" I called, catching sight of my best friend walking along one of the hallways on the upper level. For some reason, she was carrying a jacket and pair of mittens. "Hey, have you seen Lily? I can't seem to find her."

"Uh…" She trailed off, purposefully not meeting my gaze. I frowned, suspicious, then glanced at the mittens and jacket.

"You know, if you're leaving, the front door is easier than the roof." I commented. Again, she didn't meet my gaze, this time smirking a little. "Okay, what are you hiding?"

She hesitated. "It was Lily's idea." She told me, beginning to walk towards the entrance to the roof. Sighing, I followed her through the door.

The entire roof of our base had been transformed into a winter wonderland, with at least half a foot of snow in every direction. The edges of the roof were outlined by a small, half-wall of ice (presumably Melody's idea to avoid people falling off accidently), while the center of the room was the battle field of what looked like too-serious snowball fight. Melody, Rani, and Liam were all cheating – our resident cryokinetic was using her powers to enlarge her, Alan, Barry, and Ricky's snowballs midair, while Rani was using her magic to deflect the snowballs and Liam was using his powers to blind the opposite team so that he, Rani, Lily, and Angela could get a better advantage.

I barely had time to decide whether this looked fun or too childish when one of Alan's shots went wild. They all froze when the snowball hit me in the forehead, covering my hair with cold, white powder. Every one of them stared at me in horror, waiting for my reaction.

I took a deep, steadying breath. "Alan, you're dead."

Liam laughed as I raced to join his team, dropping to my knees behind their snow fort. "I didn't think you'd be into this." Lily commented as I scooped up a ball of snow. I glanced at her. "You said you were busy working on trying to find a lead for Dani on Lexi."

"The trail's dried up. I doubt we'll ever see her again." I replied with a shrug, watching as Dani went to join the other team. "Besides, I could use a break."

And with that, I spun around and launched a snowball directly at Alan's head, hoping to get a little revenge. It missed, unfortunately, but Alan knew exactly what I'd tried to do. The other team all exchanged wide grins, then turned their attention solely on me. "Oh crap."

Sure enough, seconds later several snowballs were coming my way. Lily pushed me down to the ground, toppling over me as we both narrowly avoided the snowballs. I looked up and smiled at Lily. She laughed, her hair falling just behind my head, and I craned my neck upwards to kiss her.
