Summary: Post-Rent. First snowfall of the season in NYC. Disclaimer: I don't own a thing.

Chapter 1- And It's Beginning to Snow

A loud pounding was heard through Roger and Mark's loft. Roger, who was sleeping (Because that's what you do at 6 AM), suddenly sprung up from his bed. He looked at the old clock and hoped to God that it was wrong.

"Who the hell would be pounding on my door at 6 AM?" He looked to his left. Mimi was still sleeping peacefully. He sighed and got up. The pounding continued. He unlocked the door and opened it.

"Well FINALLY!" Maureen said, exasperated. She had been waiting a whole minute for Roger to answer the door!

"Finally? Maureen, what do you want?" He asked groggily.

"Have you looked outside yet?" She replied, jumping up and down.

"No. I just woke up. On account of an annoying pounding noise on my door."

"Oh, you're so funny. But anyway, look!" He doesn't. "Oh, go on!"

Roger looked out the window. It was snowing. "Wooo! Snow! How nice. Now can I go back to sleep?"

"Oh come on! It's the first snowfall of the season. Which is kind of strange considering its December 27th. And don't you remember what we all used to do on the day of first snowfall?" She smiled brightly. So did Roger.

"Yeah, I remember but it's early, Maureen. Maybe later."

"Roger! We're supposed to continue the tradition. And last November Mark and I tried but it wasn't any fun because you and Collins weren't there!" She yelled.

"What in the blue hell is going on out here?" A groggy Mark asked. He was having a great dream about his documentary winning a Spirit Award and then he heard yelling.

"Oh crap. Sorry, Mark. It's just Maureen seems to think that barging in on people at 6 AM is a good idea."

"Oh, stop it Mr. Grumpy! Marky, look! It's snowing!" She said excitedly.

"Yeah, that's nice. I'm going back to sleep. Good night. Or technically, morning."

"Wait! Come on you guys! I think we should re-start our tradition. And now we have Mimi. And Collins is back. And Roger-you're back, or almost, to your old-self. So, let's go outside!" Maureen explained. Roger looked at Mark. Mark grinned, which caused Maureen to grin. Which caused an amused Collins to finally say:

"I'm with her! Let's go!" They all started to walk towards the door.

"Wait! Well first of all, we need to change. Well, except Maureen. And secondly, Mimi." Roger pointed out.

"Right!" Collins and Mark said simultaneously. Which caused a fit of giggles from Maureen for some odd reason.

10 minutes later everyone was dressed and ready for snow. They all walked out of the loft laughing excitedly.

"Wait, Maureen..." Mimi said.

"Yeah?"

"Where's Joanne?"

"She, uh, she didn't want to come. Believe me, I tried." Maureen said quietly. Mimi nodded. But she couldn't help but think there was a different reason why Joanne wasn't here. But she would talk to Maureen about that later. She was going to enjoy the snow with her family.

The 4 friends played happily in the snow. Laughing and running around like 4 year olds experiencing their very own first snowfall. And that's just the way they liked it.

A/N- Uh, yeah. Not a great chapter. But I liked it. Eek, two corny endings in a row. NOT good. LOL.
