Chapter Fourteen

Let It Snow

"They sure have been in there a long time," Sam muttered and Conner gave a nod. They were lying on the bed sideways, looking at the ceiling. "This is boring."

"I agree," he muttered his foot bumping into hers "sorry." He thought a moment. "Remember when we used to go to Tez's house?" Sam nodded. "And we'd all end up singing?"

"Yeah," Sam laughed "and I'd practically jump you to shut you up."

"Only because we'd get songs stuck in your head," he laughed.

"I know!" Sam actually laughed "both of you are insane."

"If you hung out with us more you wouldn't be so dull," he poked fun at her and she rolled her eyes. "I'm not kidding, your too serious sometimes Sam. Lighten up."

"Lighten up," she repeated.

"Yeah," he nodded. They grew quiet for a moment and she started humming. He looked at her in an odd why like, 'what are you doing now'? He laughed once he recognized the song. "Don't sing that."

"Why?" she asked.

"Its cheesy," he chuckled.

"Oh and I Think I love You, isn't?" she asked "you guys wouldn't ever shut up singing that one. That and that Prince of Bellaire thing." Conner broke out into a loud laugh.

"That drove you CRAZY," he snickered.

"Thanks," she muttered.

"Aw," he laughed "I'm just teasing. How about we go outside?"

"Outside?" Sam repeated.

"Yeah," he nodded "we'll get Sarah and Jareth and go play in the snow."

"Play in the snow…" she laughed "you know," she was about to ask him if he knew how old she was but… something about that actually sounded fun. "Alright." Conner got up and wrapped his arms around her waist and they both vanished.

……………………………………………………..

"Come on!" Conner acted as a little kid hurrying everyone up to get there stuff on.

"Will you rela-" Sam fell backwards, tripping over Sarah's outstretched leg "whoa." She just hung there for a long moment, at a diagonal angle. Jareth moved his hand forward and she got back on her feet. "Thank you." He shrugged and gave a sly smile. They finally made it outside and first thing, Sam got hit with about seven snowballs. "Sure!" she laughed getting the snow out of her face "gang up on me!"

"That's what you get," Jareth teased.

"Okay, if we're going to have a snowball fight," Sam said "I have rules." They all looked at her like 'oh no, here she goes'. Sam smirked a little and threw a snowball at Sarah "no teams and no rules." Sarah gave a shocked look and shrieked.

"That's it," she laughed and threw one at Conner. It went on this way for a long time, everyone throwing snow at someone else. Conner and Jareth had an advantage though, they had magick, and gladly used it too. Luckily though, both girls got the drop on them and tackled them to the snow. Sarah and Jareth vanished (gods know where) and Conner vanished from Sam's grasp, only to re-appear and pin her on the snow.

"Let go," she laughed and he just looked at her. "Okay you win. Let go." He smirked and made a snow ball. "No!" she laughed and tried to get away "truce, peace, mercy!"

"What was the last one?" he teased.

"Conner you bum," she muttered, snow getting in her hair "lemme up."

"I want to know what the last one was," he teased.

''Mercy,'' she rolled her eyes. He gladly let her up and she took the snowball from his hand and shoved it down his shirt.

"COLD!" he ran around and finally, once he'd gotten the snow out of his jacket chased her.

"Stop it. Stop it. Stop it." she kept laughing as she ran. He tackled her and they both went tumbling over the other over and over and finally stopped. "That's it," she laughed "I give up."

"I think Sarah has too," he murmured pointing at Jareth pinning down Sarah, looking as if he was torturing her more than he should be, holding a snowball above her.

"You guys cheat," Sam smirked and shivered some.

"We should go insane," he said "before we all get sick." Sam nodded and Conner waved Jareth and Sarah in. They all headed inside, getting something warm to drink and sat in the library, all on the floor by the fire. Sarah was leaning against Jareth, his back against the side of the hearth and Sam was lying on her side, Conner kept messing with her hair.

"What are you doing?" she yawned, trying not to doze off.

"Braiding," he muttered, as if he was concentrating. Sarah laughed a little, though he and Jareth kept speaking softly to the other.

"Why?" Sam asked, turning over.

"Just cause," he shrugged "is it bothering you?" Sam thought a moment.

"No," she admitted "just feels funny." Conner motioned for her to sit with him and amazingly, she did. She rested her head on his shoulder. She pulled his hair some and he smirked at her.

"Stop that," he chuckled.

"We need to get some rest," Jareth said quietly "come on." He picked up Sarah who didn't protest, she just yawned and laid against him. They both vanished and Sam yawned.

"Can we just stay here?" she asked quietly. Conner nodded and laid next to the fire, her laying next to him. They all drifted into sleep, Sarah with Jareth and Sam and Conner.
