Spirit Jerebis: Winter in Meric Land
Episode 3: "Snow Battle"
Ramadan '05
My gift story this Ramadan
Previously on Winter in Meric Land: A.J. and the others spent a memorable first night together, including their soul-warrior copedam, one way or another. A new day has just started. On with the conclusion.
"Did you enjoy it?" A.J. asked
Helen smiled, "Yep. I would guess that the first time is unforgettable, one way or another. I wouldn't have done it with anyone else."
"I wonder if Grace did it with Simon." A.J. remarked
Helen blinked, "Wow, wait. We were just talking about us, what made it change to your foster sister?"
A.J. sighed, "I really consider her my blood sister."
"Blood sister or foster sister! You ruined the fun of the night we had!" Helen sighed
A.J. closed his eyes; he knew he couldn't do anything to cheer Helen up right away. Helen got out of bed and put her clothes on. She went into A.J.'s room bathroom and took a shower there.
Grace and Simon were in their clothes, embracing each other in the bed. They woke up, staring at each other. Grace smiled.
"I'm glad we didn't do it." She remarked
"So am I! We'll have to take showers if we did do it." Simon smiled
"You're absolutely right... When we do it in the future, let's do it here even if it means taking a shower the next morning." Grace decided
"I'm with you on that." Simon agreed
"Promise?" Grace asked
"Promise." Simon replied
Grace hugged Simon. Simon hugged her back. The two kissed each other passionately on the lips. A few moments later they got out of bed and headed towards the window. They both gasped once seeing the snow. The snow covered the ground thickly. It was so clean, white and pure.
"Wow!" Simon whispered
"Beautiful!" Grace sighed
Grace turned to Simon.
"What do you say we go out and play in it?" Grace asked
"Sure thing. We could play Snowballs, Snowman or the most exciting, Snow Fort." Simon agreed
"I'm with Snow Fort." Grace decided
"Let's hurry then and tell the others." Simon urged
"Maybe some of the others are still busy." Grace noted
Simon sighed, "You're probably right. Let's go anyway, just you and me. We could play Snowballs against each other."
"Alright! I'm in!" Grace agreed
The two rushed out of Simon's room and out of Emerald Mansion. They had their snow clothes on.
Once outside, Simon jumped into the air and landed on the snow, face first. His arms were stretched out as well as his legs. The snow was soft under him. He held his breath so that the snow won't turn into ice. Simon moved his arms upwards and downwards, his legs sideways. Grace laughed at him. Once done, Simon carefully got off of the snow angel he made. He moved back towards Grace.
"What do you think?" He asked
"Neatly done. It's done on your back though." Grace remarked
"I know. I thought I'd do it differently anyway." Simon shrugged
"Because you were already that way anyway." Grace giggled
"Yeah. You're right." Simon sighed
"My turn." Grace smiled
She turned around and ran backwards. To Simon's surprise, she was pretty well at it. It was one of the things she was taught on her personal journey. Without warning, Grace let her back drop into the snow. She was some distance from Simon. Simon went up to her. Grace closed her eyes and breathed deeply. She moved her arms backwards and forwards, her legs sideways. Grace carefully got off of the snow angel she made. She moved back beside Simon.
A.J. and the others came out greeting the snow. Samantha started playing with Stan, snowballing him. Amanda and Alex just sat down, looked at each other and smiled. Helen took a deep breath, smelling the freshness of the snow. A.J. took a deep breath as well.
'Hey! Why don't I prepare them breakfast later on?' A.J. thought
'Breakfast?' Emeraldmon asked
'Comet! You know pretty well that I can cook!' A.J. remarked
'And dance.' Emeraldmon grinned
'Hey! How were you and Crownmon able to... You know, while the two of you were like that?' A.J. asked
'Actually. It was because of that, which we're like this now.' Emeraldmon blushed
A.J. nodded. Wizardmon, Greemon, Stan's Jihamon, Emerald Agumon, Soil Earthmon, Sigmalmon, Shomon, Ememon, Zonemon, Equusmon, Emeraldmon, Samantha's Jihamon, Crownmon, Sapmon, Ranbimon and Lady Shimmon were all having fun running around in the snow. Stan and Samantha walked back to A.J. and Helen laughing.
"What do you say we play Snow Fort?" Stan asked
Amanda, Alex, Simon and Grace gathered around them once hearing it. A.J. shrugged.
"I'm up to it." A.J. nodded
"We'll both be opposite team captains." Stan decided
"Fair enough." A.J. agreed
"We need a bat." Samantha commented
"I've got it." Stan grinned, getting it out.
"The first one to reach the top gets first choice and has the Snow Fort." A.J. explained
Stan nodded. He started, A.J. went next. They continued on going like that. While they were doing it, their soul-warrior copedam gathered around. Stan reached the top first, he smirked.
"I've got the fort." He smiled
"Fine!" A.J. sighed
He put the baseball bat aside.
'Shooting Star? How do you play?' Emeraldmon asked
'Stan's team makes a small fort of snow and my team is to invade it, if we succeed, we win.' A.J. explained
"How do play the game?" Ranbimon asked
Helen explained it to the other soul-warrior copedam. Everyone helped built the fort with Stan before they started choosing their team. Stan chose Samantha first. A.J. chose Emeraldmon first. They continued on choosing until there was no one left. A.J.'s team headed towards the opposite direction of the snow fort. He and his team made their own snowballs, three piles of them. Stan's team went into the fort and built their own piles of snow from around them.
Stan's team was the first to start the battle. Alex was the first to throw the first snowball. Amanda dodged it and threw her own, hitting Alex square in the face. He fell on his back, on the snow. He quickly got back up but three snowballs from A.J., Grace and Shomon hit him again.
"Why am I being the only one targeted?" Alex asked
Amanda grinned, "Sorry honey but you're the only one going on offense."
Alex blinked. He turned to the rest of his team and saw them on their stomachs.
"We'll stay on the defensive for their final attack. Continue on with the offensive." Stan ordered
Alex sighed. He quickly ducked, avoiding some snowballs. Once a snowball was thrown, A.J.'s team would make another. Alex grabbed a snowball and quickly threw it. It hit Shomon in his face. Lucky shot for Alex, he saw it. Some of Stan's teammates made more snowballs, replacing the ones Alex threw.
"Together now!" A.J. yelled
When Alex looked up after some time, A.J.'s group swiftly and powerfully threw their snowballs at once. It hit a surprised Alex, forcing him onto his back. A.J.'s group silently but quickly moved towards the snow fort's wall. They brought all their snowballs with them. A.J.'s group started raining Stan and his team with snowballs from above surprising them. They all got out of the fort and gathered snowballs fighting back. Emeraldmon sneaked passed them.
He went into the fort and Alex was about to gasp, seeing it. Emeraldmon silenced him with a snowball. Alex fainted peacefully. Emeraldmon stroke back at Stan's team from the snow fort. It surprised Stan and his team. They all ducked from the snowballs and groaned. By Emeraldmon taking the fort, A.J.'s team as won. They cheered in joy.
"Now how about some breakfast?" A.J. asked
