Raye woke up early the next morning. A light blanket of snow covered the ground. She quickly got dressed and quietly walked down to Justin and Kyogi's room. She opened the door and walked over to Justin's bed. "Justin wake up", she whispered in his ear.

"What do you want?" he asked sleepily.

"Come on get up", she told him. "It's snowing outside come on!"

"What's the big deal?" he said grumpily. "It's just snow."

"Oh just come on", she told him. "I'll wait out in the hallway for you. Now get dressed!"

"Oh fine", Justin finally gave in.

Soon they were both exiting the hotel. Raye took a deep breath of the crisp winter air. "Oh, it's just too perfect", she sighed happily. Suddenly she felt something cold run down her back. "Justin!!!" she screamed.

"Now it's perfect", Justin said as he fell over laughing.

"You are so going to pay for that!" Raye cried as she bent over and formed a snowball in her hands. Soon they were hurling snowballs at each other.

"You kids just love to wake me up at unreasonable hours in the morning!" Chibodee yelled from his window.

"Well at least this time we weren't swimming", Raye shouted back to him.

"It's time for breakfast", Chibodee told them.

Raye and Justin quickly joined everyone in the hotel dinning room. Raye quickly slipped off her jacket and hung on the back of her chair.

"So Raye why did you have to get me up so early just to go play in the snow?" Justin asked her.

"Well one time when I was little my dad woke me up really early to go play in the snow", Raye told him. "I think I was three. I know it was my first trip to Earth. My mom came in and helped me get dressed then led me outside. My dad and brother were waiting for me out there."

"Wait", Justin interrupted. "I thought you said you were an only child?"

"Well maybe it was a cousin", Raye told him.

"You said you didn't have any other family", Justin reminded her.

"Can I finish my story now?" she asked him. Justin nodded his head. "Well as I was saying my dad and "someone" were waiting for me outside. I was all bundled up in my light blue ski jacket with the matching hat and scarf and I had on a pair of stockings under my black pants and this little pair of blue boots. It was my first time ever seeing snow. I played outside almost all day. I made snow angels, had a snowball fight with my dad and "someone" (Raye glares at Justin each time she says someone), and made snowmen. It was a perfect day. I had so much fun."

Domon listened intently to her story. He had done the exact same thing with Raven when she was little. It had been her first trip to Earth. She had been bundled up in the exact same thing. They had done the same activities. Domon couldn't help but wonder. It was crazy though. He had worked so hard to move on with life after Raven was kidnapped. He was just fueling a dead fire. Raven was gone. He had to accept it.
