Chapter 3
A/N: Yes, I had seen that episode, but I was thinking that was a room in the Tipton. Anyway, I changed the first chapter on that part, saying that her family was staying there for Christmas.
The twins were walking back to the hotel from where Zack had chased Cody. They had snowball fights almost every time it snowed. They found them very fun and entertaining. They once again looked at their snowman.
"It looks lonely," said Zack.
"It's a snowman," said Cody. "I think you're just thinking about Maddie."
"Shut up," said Zack. "Let's just make another one for fun then."
"Okay."
They once again began making a few snowballs and rolling them around in the snow to make them bigger. They stacked them on top of each other next to the other snowman. They then got light tan yarn and strode it from the top part of the snowman. It looked like blonde hair. They then added the licorice for the mouth and three buttons where the nose and eyes would be. They then put on a hat and scarf.
Once they finished, their mom walked out. She was on her way to get some groceries. She looked at the two snowmen. She thought they looked cute.
"Awww, it's a snowman couple. Good work, guys," she said.
She then walked in the direction of the grocery store.
"Well, what do you want to do now?" asked Zack.
"I don't know."
They sat there, both of them very bored. They sat down in the snow, and tried to think of something. After about ten minutes, Zack's face lit up.
"I know what we can do!" he exclaimed.
"What?" questioned his twin.
"Well, you know how at the beach we make sand houses?" asked Zack.
"Yeah," Cody said, catching on to Zack's idea.
"Well, we can make a little snow house."
"Awesome!"
They went upstairs to their suite, and began drawing what they wanted the snow house to look like. They talked about it and drew it on paper, and it took them about thirty minutes. On their way back down, they passed their mom in the lobby, and she had two bags of groceries.
They got outside, and began packing snow into tiny walls. They did the front wall first. It stood a foot tall. They were making a snow mansion. The used their fingers to do two holes above the little carving that looked like a door for windows. They then started on the wall next to it, packing snow and setting it up next to the other. They then did the same for the back wall and the other side wall. They then very carefully packed another part of snow, making sure it was packed very solidly. Cody carefully placed it on top of the house, and, to both of the twins' pleasure, it didn't cave in.
"Do you think it will melt or someone will step on it?" asked Zack.
"Probably. You guard it and I'll go get a camera so we can have a picture of it," said Cody.
"Okay," said Zack as Cody went upstairs.
Cody reached the suite, and his mom was on the couch watching TV. He went into their room, and found a camera in his drawer. He took it back outside, and got two pictures of the house. He then decided to get a picture of the snowman couple, since they would probably melt the next morning. So he backed up, and took a picture of them. He then slid the camera in his coat pocket. By then, it was around seven o'clock p.m. so it was dark and cold. They went back inside, and were met by the warmth of the interior of the hotel. They both took off their coats, and set them in an empty chair. Cody started toward the room where the food and drinks were to get more hot chocolate.
"Can you get me some, too?" asked Zack.
"Sure," said Cody.
While Cody was getting the hot chocolate, Zack made his way to the candy counter, where Maddie was still working.
"Hey sweet thang," he said flirtatiously.
"I saw your snowman couple, it was pretty good," said Maddie.
"Yeah, Cody and I worked pretty hard on it. We also made a snow house. Did you see it?" asked Zack.
"No," said Maddie in reply.
"Well, I can show you later. Cody took some pictures of it. I'll show you them once they get developed."
"I can't wait to see them."
Just then, Cody walked into the lobby holding two cups of hot chocolate. He gave one to Zack, and then went over to the couch next to the fireplace. Zack followed and set next to him. They enjoyed the warmth of the fire, and the hot chocolate. Once they got done, they grabbed their coats, and went to their suite, into their bedrooms, and fell asleep.
