Chapter 8: Snow Fun
Chase and Snowflake walked outside to join the pups, curious as to what activity they were doing. The other pups looked like they were making a snowman. But they only had two big balls of snow on top of each other. Now the pups were standing on each other to get the last ball on.
"Hi pups, are you making a snowman?" Snowflake asked curiously, seeing the towering snow in the shape of an almost complete snowman.
"Yes,, we are. We just need to add the top. Hold on," Marshall replied as he tried pushing the last big ball of snow to the top. However, as he did, the ball slid and fell on top of all the pups.
"Waaahhhoo! Aaaahhhhh!" Marshall, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, and Rubble all exclaimed before being covered in the giant snowball. The five pups stuck their heads out from the now crushed snowball laughing at the silliness of the situation.
"Let's help them," Chase told Snowflake before they went to help their friends. They pulled everyone out of the snow pile before laughing. Just then, Ryder walked up to them.
"Hi pups, having fun in the snow?" Ryder asked kindly.
"Yes Ryder. We were trying to make a snowman until the top part fell on us," Zuma explained. Ryder laughed.
"Well, I just came out to tell you pups that you better enjoy the snow now. We're supposed to get more snow tonight, and it sounds like a big snowfall," Ryder stated. The pups all howled with excitement.
"I'm going to go get some extra clothes and equipment in case the power goes out, or we need anything extra. Have fun pups! But start heading inside when the sun goes down. The snow will start falling once it gets dark," Ryder said before he went to his ATV and drove away.
"Bye Ryder!" the pups called out. Once Ryder vanished from sight, the pups turned their attention back to the snowman. Zuma, Snowflake, Skye, and Rocky looked at the snow pile, and saw a problem.
"Pups, I think our snowman's head is too big for his body," Skye stated, noticing just how much more snow was in the pile.
"Yeah, but we can fix that," Rocky commented before moving some of the snow from the pile. He rolled the snow into a ball, then moved it over to the side before looking at the pile again.
"Hmmm? The snow pile is still too big. But at least we'll have extra snow left for something else," Rocky commented.
"Hold on, I got an idea!" Snowflake said before going over to the snow pile and digging. Snow went flying everywhere as she dug in Rocky's direction. Eventually, she was done.
"There! Enough snow for the last piece of our snowman! Now we can - wait, Rocky are you in the snow?" Snowflake said before realizing Rocky was missing.
"Yes!" Rocky answered, popping his head out of the snow. Everyone laughed until Snowflake came up with a suggestion.
"Well, we have enough snow on the side, and for our snowman. So, what if we made a mini igloo? There's enough to make a decent sized one," Snowflake commented.
"Great idea!" Marshall replied. So, with all the snow they had, the pups finished their snowman, before building their igloo. Rocky but the snow into blocks as the pups each stacked them to create their masterpiece. It took a while though, since it wasn't a big or small igloo; an igloo that was right in the middle when it came to size. Once they were done, every pup was tired.
"Lunch time!" Skye said before the pups all went indoors to have some lunch, snd rest for a while. But once the pups were rested, they went back outside to see how their igloo was. It was white, strong, and miraculously fit the whole team inside - once they went in one by one. Afterwards, they had a snowball fight.
But the biggest surprise was that both teams were equally good. Some pups would get good hits, but nobody was actually winning. Snowflake, Marshall, Rubble, and Skye were just as good as Chase, Rocky, and Zuma combined. Suddenly, Snowflake got an idea.
"Pups, get down! Rubble you dig as fast as you can! Now!" Snowflake said as she ran to the front of their snow fort and dug snow into the air, with Rubble doing the same. Chase and the others saw this as a mistake.
"You're open Rubble and Snowflake! Eat snow- Oof!" Chase called out before getting hit on the side of his head with a snowball. Rocky and Zuma got it too. Chase was baffled.
'But how? Marshall and Skye weren't throwing them, so where were the snowballs - Oh gosh!' Chase thought before seeing a big amount of snowballs about to rain down on him and his team!
"IN COMING!" Chase cried out before he, Rocky, and Zuma ducked down as snowballs rained down on their snow fort, their backs, legs, and all around them. It was only a minute or two until the snowballs stopped raining. It was now safe to look.
"How's THAT for a snowball fight?! Give up?" Snowflake called out. Zuma looked around, then grinned mischievously.
"No! We don't give up! Nice try Wubble and Snowflake, but now ... you just gave us more fuel!" Zuma said before picking up a fallen snowball. Chase and Rocky quickly caught on, and saw they had a whole pile of snowballs everywhere that they could use for snowballing the other pups. Perfect for their team.
"Zuma's right. Thanks for the snow! Now get a taste of your own medicine!" Rocky added before the three started throwing the now fresh snowballs at the other team. Snowflake's eyes widened in fear, and realization.
"WE JUST GAVE THEM MORE SNOWBALLS TO THROW! RRRUUUUUUNNN!" Snowflake exclaimed before she and Rubble ran towards their snow fort with Skye and Marshall trying to cover for them. It was a long, tough snowball fight, but Chase's team eventually won.
After resting from their fierce snowball fight, the pups made snow angels, and just enjoyed having fun in the snow until the sun went down.
"Time to head in pups," Marshall said as they all watched the sun set. Everyone got inside, grabbed a blanket, and snuggled on a bean bag in their hang out room. It didn't take long before it started snowing.
