A/N: Hello my lovely readers! Chapter 6! Happiness and rainbows!
Disclaimer: LOSH isn't mine. I wish it was. Alariah, on the other hand, is, so nobody ca use him unless I think they'll do a good job with him and they have my permission. :)
Brainy looked around cluelessly. He had no idea what was going on. Some Legionnaires ran for cover, others had evil smirks clearly displayed across their faces. This scared him.
"What is a snowball fight?" Brainy asked hesitantly.
"It is the greatest form of competition ever created by humanoid kind!" Al screamed.
"A friendly competition!" Lightning Lad added quickly. He didn't want little Brainy to get the wrong idea.
"How do you play?" Brainy asked.
"You throw snow in people's faces!" Al said, as happy as can be.
Lightning Lad rolled his eyes. Al just liked the throwing part. He didn't care for the preparations.
"You also have to pick teams and build a small fort for protection. It sounds kinda pointless, but it's fun." Kell said. Everyone looked at him blankly.
"What?! I thought it sounded pointless the first time Al made me play, but I actually had fun!"
"Shocking…" Phantom Girl whispered.
"Hey! Just because I don't like to have fun doesn't mean it's impossible!" Kell said indignantly.
The Legionnaires teased Kell a little bit more about how the impossible had been accomplished, and what next? And will this, that, and the other impossible things be accomplished?
"HEY!" Brainy yelled. The Legionnaires were surprised that his little lungs could make such a loud noise. "I wanna do the snowball fight now please!"
The others laughed at this. Older Brainy would've looked for any excuse to not play. Younger Brainy wanted to play by any means necessary.
"Ok, so Cos and I are captains?" Lightning Lad asked. That's how it usually was.
"And whichever team gets Al can't choose Superman, and vise versa, right?" Cosmic Boy asked.
"Correct." Replied Phantom Girl.
"Ok then, Cos can choose first." Lightning Lad said.
"I'd like Cham." Cosmic Boy said.
"Saturn Girl." Lightning Lad countered.
"Umm… Kell." Cos said.
"Does he count as Superman?" Lightning Lad asked.
"No!" Kell yelled.
"Fine, just asking, you are his future-clone thingamawhatzer." (Thing-uh-ma-what-zer)
"It's your turn Garth."
"Oh! Umm, Al?"
Alariah smiled at that. Nobody was really sure if he'd yell 'NO!' or be perfectly fine with the team he was chosen for. He honestly didn't really care, he just did it to annoy them sometimes. "Sure." He said.
"I want Brainy!" Cosmic Boy yelled.
"Yay!" Brainy said. He wanted an excuse to throw something at Lightning Lad without getting in trouble.
The rest of the teams were chosen, and then they made their snow forts. Al just complained about why it was necessary to do this, he never understood why you need a fort if you're just throwing stuff at each other.
"But WHY?!" He yelled.
"BECAUSE I SAID SO!" Lightning Lad screeched, sick of Al's complaining.
Brainy found all of this very amusing.
Then it began: The Great Snowball War!
Yeah, it's short. Lots of drama in the next chapter though. I have an idea for another fic, but I need a title for it. It's gonna be an AU ending to Dark Victory and Brainy's return. Please post ideas in the reviews! I will give you credit for the title in an Author's note if I use it!
