"It's freakin' cold out here!!" Selphie huddled closer to Irvine as they walked down the mountain in snow up to their stomachs.
"Hey look!!! There's some tracks over there!!" The two followed the tracks until they reached a tree, where the tracks just stopped.
"Hey, up here!!!" A voice called from up above. Selphie and Irvine looked up to see Jilly, Huck, and April all sitting on one big branch, with Peabody in April's lap. "Nice snow storm we had, huh?"
"You get down from there this instance, young lady!!" Selphie stomped her foot, staring up at Jilly.
"Catch Daddy!!" April tossed the little dog down at Irvine, who caught it and put it down on the ground next to him.
"Come down right now or you're grounded for a month!!" Selphie glared at Jilly, which was enough to make her come down as fast as she could. Irvine looked up at the two remaining children while Selphie dealt with Jilly.
"Aren't you coming down?"
"Mommy never told us too. She told Jill to." April answered, shifting positions slightly.
"Well, now I'm telling you to come down. So come down." The two kids hopped out of the tree. April landed next to Selphie, while Huck landed on Selphie.
"Oof!! Get off!!"
"Sorry…" The little boy rolled off to the side and Selphie stood up.
"I'm tired and cold…" April leaned on her mom's leg and closed her eyes halfway.
"Just don't run off like that anymore, ok?" Selphie picked up April and took Huck's hand. Meanwhile, Jilly was rolling a huge snowball about the size of her torso. When she lifted it, her knees shook and she looked to Irvine.
"Dad, could you give me a piggy back ride? This thing is too heavy for me to walk with."
"The very question you're asking is faulty. If you can't stand with that thing, surely I can't walk up a mountain with you and that thing on my back."
"…..You're faulty!!" After much of Jilly's convincing, Irvine lifted her and the snowball up onto his back, and started painfully up the hill with his wife.
"Are we there yet?" April whined, about to fall asleep.
"What do you think, doofus brain? Of course we're not there, do you see the house?!" Jilly growled, not feeling too good herself.
"Ohhh nooo!!!! It's starting to snow again!! And we're lost too!!!" Selphie watched the flakes of snow falling turn into sheets of blank snow, blocking almost all vision.
Huck opened his mouth and let the snow fly in, and he smiled, content. To make things worse, they heard growling behind them.
"What was that?" Irvine asked, looking around. Out of the falling snow, a huge, ugly face leaped at the 5, teeth flashing.
"IT'S A SNOW LION!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!" This sent all of them running very very fast up the mountainside, the very ground beneath them being shook by the beast chasing them. And just when they thought things were bad enough, they reached a narrow cliff. Infront of them was a drop who knows how many feet, and coming towards them from the opposite direction was obvious doom.
