Well, I hope you all had a wonderful Holidays, I know I sure did.

New tech and such, and a new fic out as well!

Anyway, you're probably here for the next chapter, so please…

Enjoy.

About a week has passed since Nia and Lily's home was destroyed. They were now living with Joe, much to their surprise.

After Joe had healed from the explosion, he had built a whole room for the two spider girls, according to their wishes.

Beds, a chest, paintings...It looked almost exactly like their home in the cave, but it was a lot warmer, cozier, and it made the two girls more safe than back in the cave.

Joe had awoken that day to a cold shiver, as he sat up in his bed, warming his arms.

"W-Why's its s-so c-c-cold…?" He said, shivering from the cold.

He looked over to his window, and noticed it was foggy.

He risen out of bed, and walked towards his window. He used his sleeve to wipe of the fog, and was surpised to see what he was looking at outside.

"Holy crap! It's snowing! I didn't know it could snow!" Joe said, awestruck at the sight.

It was a slight flurry, with everything enveloped in snow. It was a gentle fall of snow surrounding the landscape.

Joe absolutely loved the snow, much more than rain. It was his favorite weather, because he got to wear his favorite sweaters all the time.

He then realized it was still cold in his room, as he shivered. He walked over to his bed, slipped on his sweater, and started for downstairs.

Much to his surprise and amusement, when he looked around downstairs, he saw all four girls huddled around the fireplace, all covered in blankets.

"Cold, isn't it?" Joe teased.

"It's freezing! Don't joke like that!" Nia snapped back.

Joe chuckled, as he walked to the fireplace.

"I'm guessing you don't take the cold too well?" Joe asked.

"N-Not really…" Cupa replied, tightly gripping the blanket wrapped around her.

"Well, with the way you all dress, I can see why…" Joe said, grinning.

The girls then looked at him.

"Whats wrong with the way we dress?" Andr asked.

"Ever heard of pants?" He said, looking at all the girls' skirts.

Joe had a valid point. Everyone else was either wearing a skirt, or in Cupa's case, just no pants in general.

"W-Well…" Cupa started.

"Alright, I'll see what I can do for better clothes for you all. You all must be freezing." Joe said, as he walked over towards his chest.

The girls watched him, as he rummaged through his chest, hoping to find something suitable.

"Shit…" He whispered to himself. He couldn't find anything, more or less use it to make clothes.

He closed his chest as he sighed. "Well, looks like I'm gonna have to stop by the village to find some supplies." He said.

"D-Don't go out there! You'll freeze to death!" Lily yelled, only to have Joe chuckle at her.

"Don't worry, I'm used to the cold." He said, as he walked to the door and put his shoes on. "I'll be back in about a half-hour, you four keep warm until then."

The girls all then nodded, as they went back to the fire, partially shivering.

This made Joe laugh a bit, as he then walked out into the snow.

It was perfect to him. The land covered in white, and the snow falling just right.

"Man, views like this never get old." He said, as he walked on in the direction of the village.

He was in total awe at the sight, but it got him thinking.

"Wait, aren't I in a Forest Biome? Then how the hell is it snowing here? Then again, how are most of the mobs women and girls, but I still need to question this world once in a while." He pondered to himself.

In that moment, a slight gust of wind blew towards Joe.

Yeah, he appreciated the weather, but it was the wind that was his least favorite part.

"D-Damn wind…" Joe said, shivering.

"Ah, Joe!"

He looked up to see the village priest a few feet in front of him, standing near a tree. From the look of it, she was collecting apples when she noticed Joe.

"Collecting apples, Colleen?" Joe asked.

The priest then nodded, as Joe walked to her. He didn't notice until we was feet away, but he noticed she had rather warm-looking winter gear on. Gloves, earmuffs, a scarf, boots, she looked absolutely comfortable in her clothes.

This only reminded him of his lack of winter clothes, as he shivered.

"Oh, you're freezing!" Colleen noticed, putting down her basket of apples.

"I-It's n-n-nothing...I-I'll be fine…" He said between shivers.

Colleen then crossed her arms. "Nonsense, You're shivering." She said, then took Joe's hand. "Come with me, I'll get you some warmer clothes."

Joe was then guided by Colleen over towards the village church, as the wind kept Joe freezing cold.

They had walked in, only to have them enveloped in warmth from a fire that was burning in the church fireplace.

Joe shuddered in comfort, as he camped himself next to the fire, warming his hands.

Colleen giggled. "See? I knew you were cold."

Joe chuckled between shivers. "Y-Yeah. I-I was, I-I g-give up…"

Colleen smiled, as she went to her chest. She pulled out a bundle of clothes, and walked over towards Joe.

"Here, these will keep you warm." She said, handing the clothes to Joe.

She handed him a brown jacket, a dark blue scarf, and a pair of gloves, made with leather and wool. He took them, and looked at Colleen.

"T-Thanks, I owe you…" He said, as he put on his jacket. It fit perfectly, as if it was made for him.

Colleen smiled. "Not a problem. You help this village plenty, its the least I could do." She said, then noticed he was having trouble with his scarf.

"Damned thing…" He said, struggling with the scarf.

Colleen then walked over, and helped him put in on right, causing Joe to go pink. He felt warmth all around him, as he fitted his clothes.

"There, all warm?" Colleen asked.

Joe nodded nervously. "Y-Yes, very...Thank you."

Colleen smiled, and nodded. "What were you doing out here, anyway?"

"Oh, I was hoping to find some materials to make the girls some suitable clothes for this weather. With them wearing skirts and all." Joe said, scratching his head.

"Well, that won't do. We don't want your friends cold too." Colleen said, as she went back to her chest.

"Well, could I trade you for any materials?" Joe asked.

Colleen giggled. "You always want to help, don't you?" She asked.

Joe scratched his cheek. "W-Well, its only fair…"

"Well, if you're so bent on helping, I already have clothes for you five done. You noticed that your jacket fits well?" Colleen asked.

Joe went a bit pink. "W-Well...Thanks then, I really appreciate it…"

"Do you really still want to work? Because I'd be more than happy to just give these to you." Colleen said, holding a bigger bundle of clothes, all in an array of colors.

Joe smiled. "Its only fair. You help me, I'll be more than happy to help you."

Colleen smiled back. "Well, if you really want to, could you help me gather apples? We have been getting rather low, and the weather makes them hard to gather…"

Joe made a thumbs-up. "Absolutely."

Colleen nodded, as Joe walked out of the church and into the cold.

The cold didn't bother him anymore, as he laughed to himself.

He then walked over to a nearby tree, and noticed all the good-looking apples were near the top. He sighed, as he knew he would have to get climbing.

"Well, its for the girls…" He said, as he started climbing.

About a half hour passed, as Joe collected several dozens of apples from many trees. He had trouble keeping them together, he collected so much.

He walked back to the church, and was greeted by a surprised look from Colleen.

"W-Wow, How many did you gather?" She asked, helping Joe carry the apples.

"Enough to last a while. Should be a good trade." Joe said, smiling.

Colleen went a bit pink. "T-This is a little too much for a proper trade. I should make some more clothes for you for this…"

"N-No, no, its alright. This is all plenty to keep us warm" Joe said, smiling.

Colleen smiled back, as she then grabbed the bundle of clothes and handed it to Joe.

"These should keep those girls nice and warm." She said.

Joe nodded. "Thank you very much. I think they will be more than happy."

"Good. Well, you should be off now. They must be freezing." Colleen said, her hands behind her back.

"Judging by the way they looked before I left, they must be. Well, thank you very much, I'll be back for more work if you need me." Joe replied, chuckling.

Colleen nodded, as Joe then turned and started for the door. He waved good-bye, as Colleen did so in return.

He then walked back out into the cold, the bundle of winter clothes in his hands, as he started back for home.

He looked around, as the sight of the snow still amazed him.

"Never get old." He said to himself, as he walked on.

He approached his home, as he noticed the girls still bundled around the fire. He noticed they were laughing, as Nia looked a bit embarrassed. For what, he may never know.

He walked in, announcing his entrance.

"Hey, I'm home. I got some clothes for everyone." He said, holding the bundle of clothes in his arms.

They girls looked over to him, all with excited looks.

"C-Could you bring them here? We're far too cold to move…" Andr asked.

Joe chuckled, as he walked towards the girls, and placed the clothes on the couch.

"Colleen went ahead and made all these winter clothes for us. I think she even got our colors right!" He said, sorting through the clothes.

The girls then looked at the clothes he was wearing. Everyone except Lily went a bit pink as they looked at him.

Joe noticed this, and was confused. "Er...Anything wrong?"

"W-Well...The jacket and scarf looks good on you…" Cupa said.

Joe looked at himself, and was unconvinced. "I-Its just a jacket…"

"You look very….handsome in it." Andr said, smiling.

Joe went red. "W-Well, lets just get your clothes for you…" He said, going back to the clothes.

He handed each girl a jacket, scarf, gloves, and a pair of pants. He also noticed a pair of fuzzy earmuffs for each of the girls. Much to his surprise, he found he was right.

All the colors of the clothes matched them perfectly.

Each girl had a set of warm clothes, as he then stood up and turned the other direction.

"Anything wrong?" Nia asked.

"W-Well, I'm sure you girls want some privacy to put on your clothes. I-I'll be waiting upstairs, tell me when you're done." He said, as he walked towards the stairs and climbed up.

He walked over to his window, as he looked out into the winter wonderland outside.

He then moved his hands inside his gloves, feeling the warmth.

He sighed with comfort. "Man, all this needs is some Christmas specials…"

"Hey! We're done!" Came Nia's voice.

Joe then walked down the stairs, and was surprised at the sight.

He saw all the girls dressed in their winter clothes, all adorned with their pants, jackets, and scarves. He turned bright pink at the sight.

"H-How do we look?" Cupa asked nervously.

"G-Great...You all look great!" Joe complimented, smiling.

All the girls except Lily went red, as Lily grinned.

"Well, lets go outside! The snow is begging to be crunched!" Lily yelled, as she ran towards the door.

"W-Wait! Don't-"

Joe was too late. Lily had already kicked the door open, and sprinted outside.

He sighed. "...Kick the door open…"

Cupa then walked up to Joe. "Looks like Lily-chan's hyped for the snow. Want to go out?" She asked.

Joe chuckled. "I thought you'd never ask." He said, as he smiled at Cupa.

She then smiled back, as she and the other two then walked outside, with Joe following after.

They walked outside, to see Lily jumping around in the snow, as Nia and Cupa ran after her to join her.

Joe walked on, watching the girls frolic in the snow, as Andr stood next to him.

"You don't want to join them?" Joe asked.

"I-I'll be alright…" Andr replied, nervously.

Joe scratched his chin, as an idea popped in his head.

"Want to make a snowman?" He asked.

Andr looked at him, and smiled. "Sure, sounds fun!"

Joe nodded, as he made a snowball, and rolled more snow, building the first part.

Andr did the same, as she then started on the second part of the snowman.

They both rolled large snowballs, as Joe rolled his near Andr's. He helped lift hers on top of his, as they both then thought.

What would go on top?

Joe grew curious. "What if we...I'll be right back." He said, as he ran back into his house.

After a few moments, he came back, with a pumpkin in his hand.

"What's the pumpkin for?" Andr asked.

"I thought it would be a little humorous." Joe said. "Hey! Want to see our snowman?" Joe yelled towards the other three girls.

The three girls looked over at Joe and Andr, and ran towards them.

After everyone was gathered, Joe lifted the pumpkin.

"Alright, now to add the finishing touch…" Joe said as he placed the pumpkin on the unfinished snowman, having the face of the pumpkin face them.

"There, done!" Joe said, as he raised his hand to Andr for a high-five.

Andr returned the high-five, as Cupa gasped.

"H-Hey, why is the snowman glowing?" She asked, pointing at the snowman.

Joe looked over, and found the snowman was glowing, with light shining from it.

The light was blinding, as everyone covered their eyes.

In that moment, Joe felt something hit him in the head, as he fell back and started to black out.

"J-Joe-kun! Are you alright!?" Was all he heard before falling unconscious.

Joe found himself in darkness again, as the color from his face sunk.

"N-Not another nightmare! I can't take these anymore!" He yelled, as he fell to his knees, covering his ears.

Nothing.

"H-Huh?" He said, as he raised his head.

Much to his surprise, he saw a bright light shining in the darkness.

"W-What?" He asked, as he stood up, gazing at the light.

Your time shall come…

Joe jumped at the voice.

"P-Please! Not again!" He yelled, closing his eyes.

Don't be afraid, He won't do anything this time.

Joe opened his eyes. "W-What? What do you mean?"

I cannot say much. I do not believe in destiny, but you must be strong when the time comes…

"Huh? Time? What are you talking about? Who are you?" Joe asked.

You have a strong heart. I believe you will persevere.

"What are you saying? I don't understand!" Joe yelled.

Mas...Wa...up…

"Huh? Who was that?" Joe asked, noticing a different voice.

It seems its time for you to awaken. Your friends are calling for you.

"A-Awaken?" Joe asked.

The light then grew, cutting through the darkness, enveloping everything in white.

Your friends shall be your strength. Never forget that.

"W-What are you talking about!?" Joe yelled, as the light grew brighter.

Awaken.

All Joe could see was complete white, as the light enveloped him.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Joe groaned, as he awoken, with the girls surrounding him.

He tried to sit up, up found him bound to the ground.

He looked up, and noticed another girl on top of him, her hands on his shoulders.

"Ah! You're finally awake!" The mysterious girl said.

He looked at the girl, and found she had light orange hair, with strands flowing in front of her ears. She had on a large jacket/dress, with three buttons that looked like three stones for a snowman. Her sleeves were brown, with darker brown stripes to look like sticks.

He had noticed she was wearing what looked like a pumpkin for a hat, as she looked at him with a relieved look.

"Y-Yeah...W-Who are you?" Joe asked.

The girl giggled. "I'm your snow woman!" She said, as he tightly hugged Joe, rubbing her face against Joe's.

Joe went red at this, both confused and surprised.

"Y-You're my...Snow woman?" He asked.

"Yeah! You created me, and here I am!" the girl said, as she let go of Joe.

"W-Well, could you get off of me?" He asked, in which the girl did so. He brushed the snow off his clothes, as Cupa went to him.

"Are you okay? You have a bruise on your head…" She asked.

"I'll be fine." Joe replied, smiling. He faced the snow woman. "So, could you tell us your name?" He asked.

The girl tilted her head. "Well, you just made me, so I don't really have a name…What do you think would be a good name, Creator?"

"Er..Creator?" Joe asked.

"Well, you created me! That makes you the Creator!" The girl chirped. "And as the Creator, I shall do anything your heart desires!"

Joe was confused. "A-Anything?" He asked.

"Anything!" The girl replied.

Joe thought to himself, and looked back at the girl.

"Well, first off, I would like you to call me by my name. My name Is Joe. These are my friends, Cupa, Andr, Lily, and Nia." He said, introducing each of the girls.

"Hi!" The girl said, smiling at the girls.

The girls then smiled back, as they all said "Hi" back.

"Now, if you're...living and all, you're gonna need a name…" Joe said, holding his chin with his fingers in thought.

"What do you think would be a good name for her?" Lily asked.

Joe thought for a second, and snapped his fingers.

"I got it!" He said, as he then walked towards the girl. "Snowy."

The girl tilted her head.

"Your name shall be...Snowy." Joe said, smiling.

The girl then smiled, then glomped Joe.

"Yay! I like it!" The girl now named "Snowy" cheered, hugging Joe.

Joe couldn't help but chuckle. as he had Snowy let go of him, and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Welcome to the world, Snowy." He said, smiling.

Snowy then smiled back, as the girls then walked towards her, and greeted her.

"How does the world seem to you, Snowy?" Cupa asked.

"Its all so beautiful! I'm so happy I'm here!" She said, as she pulled all four girls in for a hug.

Joe chuckled at this sight, as he then looked behind him.

He looked out into the snowy landscape, and found everything covered in snow.

He then felt something hit him in the back, as he looked back, and found snowballs in each of the girls' hands.

They all had sly grins on their faces, as they looked at Joe.

"Oh crap." He said, as he was met with a flurry of snowballs flying towards him.

A few hit him, as he then ran towards a tree.

"Alright, this isn't fair!" Joe yelled, as snowballs flew past his face. He peeked around the corner, only to have a snowball hit him in the face.

He wiped the snow off his face, as he stood with his thoughts.

"Alright, Its a snowball fight, that okay, but its five on one, so I'm at a disadvantage here... maybe if I…" He said, but noticed Cupa to his left.

His face froze.

"Er...Cupa?" He stuttered.

Cupa giggled, as she pushed Joe out of his hiding spot, only to have a flurry of snowballs hit him, covering him in snow.

The rest of the time passed, as Joe was able to throw some, but not a lot, while he was bombarded with snowballs.

"Achoo!"

Joe was sitting in front of the fireplace, bundled up in blankets, shivering.

"Well, that was fun...Until I got sick…" Joe said, with a congested nose.

Joe had gotten covered in snow, giving him a slight cold. It wasn't too serious, but he was sneezing, and had a runny nose.

"S-Sorry there, we got a little carried away…" Snowy said, handing Joe a cup of hot tea.

Joe chuckled. "W-Well, at least you all had fun."

The other girls had slightly guilty faces, as they looked at Joe.

They talked among each other, some taken aback in embarrassment, until it seemed they all reached an agreement

They all walked over to Joe, as Cupa whispered something into Snowy's ear, only for her to smile and nod.

Meanwhile, Joe watched the fire, sipping his tea, when he noticed the girls in front of him.

They all sat on the couch, and sat rather close to him.

"H-Hey, anything wrong?" Joe asked.

"We're gonna warm you up!" Snowy said, as she then sat in Joe's lap, and hugged him around his chest.

"H-Hey, What are you…?" Joe said, only to have his arms constrained by Cupa and Andr, both hugging his arms, and sitting next to him.

He then felt something wrap his calves, as he looked and noticed Nia sitting on the floor, holding both of his legs close to her.

"H-Hey, why-" He said, only to see a pair of arms in front of him, and wrap around his neck. He noticed that they were Lily's sleeves. He looked back to see Lily's grinning face as she held him close.

He turned bright red, as he felt each of the girls wrapped around him of some sort.

"Calm down, we're just trying to warm you up." He heard Lily's voice behind him.

And warmth he felt. His arms, legs, chest, and neck were all enveloped in warmth, much to his surprise.

"You got us these clothes, and we got you sick...So, don't worry about it." He heard Cupa's voice.

"A-And you took us in, room and everything...Its the least we could do…" He head Nia's voice.

"So just enjoy the warmth." Came Andr's voice.

He was silent, as he sighed.

"A-Alright...It's embarrassing, but it's warm…" Joe said, as he relaxed himself.

The six then sat there, all bundled up in front of the fire, as the snow outside kept falling, with everyone smiling in comfort.

Well, I hope everyone had a wonderful Holidays, and I would like to thank you all for being so supportive of my stories this year. Its been a great year working with these, and your support has kept me going at some points.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year, and I will see you all in 2015!
