Wish it would snow, but we just keep getting rain
hope you enjoy this chapter
Jay got out of bed and opened the curtains only to be greeted by white slakes falling from the sky, Jay stood there for a moment staring out of the window before he realised it was snowing.
"Carlos, wake up it's snowing," Jay said as he continued to look out the window.
Carlos sat up being careful not to wake Dude and walked over to where Jay was standing, everywhere was covered in a sheet of white as snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, Jay and Carlos smiled glad it was a weekend, quickly getting dressed they ran to the girl's dorm.
"Guys open up," Jay said as he knocked on the door.
"Morning to you too," Mal grumbled as they walked in.
"It's snowing, it's snowing, it's snowing," Carlos said, as he opened their curtains.
"Wait, really, oh it's beautiful," Mal said as she looked outside.
"It's so white," Evie said.
"Get dressed so we can go outside," Jay said as he dragged Carlos outside.
"Hey guys, we were wondering if you looked outside yet?" Ben asked as he saw them outside Mal and Evie's dorm.
"Yes, and we are waiting for the girls to get changed so we can go out in it," Jay said leaning against the wall.
"Cool," Ben said as he waited with them.
"Are the others joining us?" Carlos asked.
"Yeah they're gonna meet us outside," Ben said, as the door opened.
"Okay we are ready, oh hello Ben," Mal said as she gave her boyfriend a hug.
"Hey, you guys ready?" He asked.
"Yeah let's go," Mal said, and they headed outside to meet the others.
When they stepped onto the snow they heard a soft crunching sound, smiling they stepped further into the winter wonderland that greeted them, a few weeks before Belle and Adam had gotten the group winter coats so they could go out without being cold if it snowed, Adam had also gotten Dude a matching one to Carlos'.
"I like the crunching sound," Evie said as she walked around a bit more.
"It's cold, but it feels soft kind of, like fluff," Carlos said trying to describe the feeling, while putting his glove back on.
"It's quite deep was it snowing all night?" Jane asked as she walked over to them.
"Not sure, it looks like it," Ben said.
"Soo what does everyone want to do?" Lonnie asked, as she put her gloves on.
"I don't know, what do you do in snow?" Evie asked.
"Snowball fights, sledging, you can build a snowman oh and snow angles," Doug said listing the different activities.
"How about building a snowman," Jane suggested.
"Sounds good to me, I'll go see if I can find any carrots," Doug said before running off.
"Okay soo, how do you build a snowman?" Evie asked, looking around.
"First you start off by making a small ball like this," Ben demonstrated, the others copied him each picking up some snow.
"What's next?" Carlos asked, holding his ball made out of snow.
"Roll it around in the snow so it gets bigger, you can make them how big you want," Ben said as he began to roll his around.
"Okay," Carlos said as he set to work.
"I got the carrots," Doug said as he ran back.
"Awesome," Lonnie said as Doug set the carrots to the side and began making a giant snowball.
"How big do we need to make them?" Jay asked as he continued to roll his snowball around.
"However big you want the next one needs to be smaller so it's up to you," Jane said.
"How many do we need to make?" Evie asked, as she came to a stop besides Ben.
"Depends how tall you want your snowman to be I usually make three," Lonnie said, as she started on her second one.
The group continued on with making their snowman, laughing and finding different things o put on their creations, from berries to leaves and of course old hats and scarfs that Doug thought to get earlier.
"They look awesome," Jane said as she stood back smiling at their work.
"They do don't they," Dude said, he had tried to make a snowman but it turned into a snow pile but Carlos still stuck a carrot in it to make him feel better.
"What are you doing?" Evie asked as she saw Mal stick out her tongue.
"I wanna know what snow tastes like," Mal said as she tried to catch the snowflakes with her tongue.
"Just do this," Jay said as grabbed a handful and ate some
"Yeah just don't eat the yellow snow," Dude said, laughing.
"Ewww," Evie said as she realised what he meant.
After taking a few pictures with their creations they decided to make some snow angels.
"Awe that looks so cool," Mal said after Jane stood up.
"Thanks," Jane said.
"Snow angels, we are making snow angels la la la," Dude sang as he rolled around in the snow.
"Magnificent Dude," Jay said as he ruffled his fur.
"Hey can we go try sledging now?" Dude asked as he jumped in the air.
"Sure Dude, let me go get the sledges," Ben said running off.
"Meet you at the hill?" Doug asked.
"YEEAHH!" Ben yelled back.
"Come on let' go," Dude said as he walked forwards.
"Wait I don't know the way, Doug lead us to the hill," Dude said.
"Yes sir," Doug said and saluted.
When they reached the hill, Ben was there waiting for them, the hill had the perfect slope not to steep and not to flat.
"So, who wants to go first?" Ben asked.
"ME ME ME ME," Dude cheered jumping in the air.
"Okay Dude hop on," Ben said, Dude pounced forward and got on the sledge.
"Hey Carlos come with," Dude said, wanting his best bud to join him.
"I'm not sure," Carlos said nervously.
"Oh, come on pleaase," Dude said giving him puppy dog eyes.
"Okay," Carlos said smiling as he got on the sleigh. "So now what?"
"I will give you a push and it stops on its own," Ben said. "Ready?"
Carlos nodded and so did Dude so Ben gave them a push and off they went.
"WOOOHOOO!" Dude and Carlos cheered as they sped down the hill.
"This is AWESOME!" Carlos yelled.
After the sledge stopped Carlos got off to pull it back up while Dude stayed on for the ride up.
"Guy's you have got to try this," Carlos said.
Stepping forward Jay took the next ride down by himself, Mal went down next with Ben and Jay gave them a push down.
"Doug will you go down with me?" Evie asked after Jane came back up with the sledge.
"Sure," Doug said as he sat down on the sledge first so Evie could sit in front of him.
"Woooo," They both cheered as they reached the bottom.
"That was fun," Evie said.
They had been sledging for half an hour each taking turns at one point they decided to all go down at once which resulted in them all falling off halfway down.
"Oh, that was fun," Lonnie said as she lay on the ground.
"Hey," Doug said when he felt something hit his head, Ben walked around staring at the sky whistling so Doug threw a snowball back.
"Hey, what was that for?" Ben asked innocently.
"Snowball fight?" Jane asked, preparing herself.
"Snowball fight," Doug confirmer.
"Wait, what do we do?" Carlos asked, looking around.
"Like when building a snowman, you make a small ball but don't roll it around just throw it at someone," Ben said as he made one and threw it at Doug.
"Like this?" Mal asked as she made a snowball and threw it at Ben hitting him in the face.
"Right," Ben said as he gathered up some more snow.
"Every man for themselves," Lonnie said, as she threw a snowball at Carlos.
"And dogs," Dude said as he ran around trying to catch the snowballs.
"Take that," Evie said as she threw a snowball at Jane.
"Hey," Jane said as she threw one back.
"Ahhh, that went down my back," Carlos said.
"I was aiming for Evie," Jane said, holding her hands up.
"Thanks," Evie said in mock hurt.
The group played in the snow for most of the day heading into town for a bite to eat at a small cafe before going on a walk through the woods, where they saw deer and birds looking for something to eat. The river was still flowing and let a serine sound fill the air as the group continued onwards.
"It's so beautiful," Evie said, as she looked around at the trees that had long lost their leaves, and now had snow clinging to their branches.
"Look at the icicles," Jane said as she admired them.
When the group returned home, they hung up their clothes to dry and took warm showers before getting into warm pyjamas, meeting back in the common room Lonnie and Doug brought in hot chocolate and they sat by the fire talking about the day they just had and what was on the menu for tea.
