The Silver and Web Series

Special #4: Snow Day!

Early one cold winter afternoon, Chinon flew over to the window and took a look outside to see that the ground was blanketed in snow. "Chi!" she said excitedly, her eyes sparkling before she turned and flew away from the window.

Silver was in his room making his bed while Web hung from the ceiling light. Just when he was about to place the pillow on the bed, he heard Chinon call out and looked back. His furry lavender pet came dashing into the room, knocking him backward and causing the pillow to go flying. "Hey!" Silver shouted while the pillow, Chinon, and he landed on the bed. "What's up, Chinon?" he asked, looking at his pet.

The creature danced around excitedly. "Chinon! Chinon! Chinon!" There's snow outside! Let's go play in it! Then she jumped off the bed and ran out of the room.

"I like that idea!" Web said, lowering himself down from the ceiling light and onto the ground to follow Chinon.

Silver quickly stood up and ran after his friends. "Wait for me!"

Once outside, Chinon was very happy to see all the snow and was eager to play in it. "Chinon! Chinon!" she said cheerfully, running through the snow.

Web tried to run after Chinon but ended up falling into one of her tracks. "Um, a little help here?" He waved his arm up in the air.

Silver came over and used his powers to move Web out of where he was stuck. "I guess you'll have to stay away from our tracks, Web," he said.

Meanwhile, the joyful Chinon was having fun zipping about. She rolled around in the snow and made a snow angel, getting herself covered in white spots. "You're going to turn into a snow Chinon if you keep that up!" Silver joked when Web and he walked over to where Chinon was lying.

At that moment, a pile of snow fell from the branch of a tree above Chinon, completely covering her. She poked her head out with a small pile of snow on her head resembling a top hat. "It's a real snow Chinon!" Web giggled. Silver laughed.

After Chinon was free and cleaned off, Silver helped her build a snowman. While she was placing the upper body on the snowman, Web came over and said, "Brr! Aren't you guys getting cold?"

"Not with these fur coats! I practically have a built-in scarf myself!" Silver replied, looking down at the long white fur around his neck.

Web shivered. "I wish I had a fur coat! I'm freezing!"

"Here," Silver took Web in one hand and placed him in the fur around his neck near his right shoulder, "Stay right there, and you'll be nice and warm."

Now that Web was feeling warmer, it was time to finish the snowman. Chinon made a snowball for the head and set it on top of the body. Silver put a small stick on either side of the body for arms and Web used spiderwebs to design the eyes, nose, mouth, and buttons. Then the three of them admired their creation. "Now that's what I call a cool snowman," Silver remarked.

Suddenly, Chinon caught sight of snowflakes beginning to drift down from the sky. "Chi Chi!" she pointed up.

"It's snowing!" Silver exclaimed. Web, Chinon, and he all gazed up at the falling snow in awe. Chinon ran about happily and Silver followed her with Web still on his shoulder. All of them took in the beautiful surroundings; the snow sparkled on the trees and bushes in the sunlight.

Soon it was starting to get darker outside as snowflakes continued to fall. "It's getting late, and we're all getting covered in snow!" Silver said, brushing some snow off his arm, "Time for us to go inside…" Chinon looked sad; she wanted to keep playing. "…And have some hot cocoa!" Chinon's face immediately brightened at these words. Anticipating the delicious chocolaty drink, she hopped up and down cheerfully toward the house. Silver and Web followed, smiling at their friend's antics.

So Silver, Web, and Chinon enjoyed the evening together in the warm house with some yummy hot cocoa. They knew there was no better way to spend a winter day than enjoying it together.
