Chase ran into Koda's cave, belly flopping onto the caveman's bed of furs, disrupting the sleeping ranger. Koda groaned and turned over but didn't wake. Chase laughed and shook him by the shoulder. "Koda, come on, mate. Wake up. We have an activity filled day ahead of us."
"Go. I sleep more." Koda grumbled, laying flat on his stomach. Chase sighed and laid on Koda's back, so that their backs were pressed together. The blue ranger huffed in annoyance. "Go away."
"Nope. I'm gonna stay right here until you get up." Chase defied, crossing his arms and ankles as he laid on top of the snoozing boy. Koda let out a frustrated grunt and rolled over onto his back, sending the black ranger tumbling over to the side. Koda smirked with closed eyes as he laid his head against one of his arms. Chase pursed his lips and got to his feat. He knelt down and ripped the fur blanket off of Koda's body.
Koda quickly sat up and glared at the blanket thief. He held out a hand and growled, "Give back."
Chase held the blanket behind his back and shook his head. "Not until you get dressed. We're going out."
"No." Koda argued, crossing his arm and his legs. Chase nodded dramatically.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"YES!"
"NO!"
"KODA, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, JUST GET UP!"
"NO!" Koda yelled, shaking the cave. Chase bit his lip, furious at his friend's stubbornness.
"If you get up, I'll buy you a Bronto burger." he bribed. Koda looked like he was considering it. After a little bit of thought, the blue ranger shook his head.
"Two." he demanded, holding up two fingers. Chase let out a exasperated sigh, throwing is head back in admitted defeat.
"Fine. I'll buy you two. But you have get up." he told him. Koda smiled and jumped from his bed. Chase grinned and turned to leave the cave so he could get dressed.
Chase waited for Koda outside of his cave, now dressed in a black coat, gloves and a black beanie. Koda came out, wearing a t-shirt with the sleeves torn off and sandals. Chase shook his head with a laugh. "Well, at least you're wearing jeans. Here. Put these on."
He tossed Koda a blue coat and some snow boots. Koda looked at them suspiciously but put them both on. Chase smiled and pulled out a pair of dark blue gloves and a matching beanie. Koda pulled the gloves on, grimacing at the way they constricted his fingers. Chase pulled the cap over the caveman's head, smiling as he flicked the fuzzball attached on the top. Koda gave him a confused look. "Do you like snow, Koda?"
"Snow bad." he told his friend. Chase rolled his eyes.
"Ah, don't be like that. Snow's fun." he explained, leading Koda over to the elevator, grabbing a couple of snowboards that he had propped up on the wall nearby. "You can make snowmen, or snow angels. You can snowboard or have snowball fights."
"Fights?" Koda asked, taking one of the boards.
"Don't worry. You don't actually fight. You'll see. It'll be fun." he assured him. It wasn't long before they were outside of the museum, breathing in the cold, crisp air. They trudged through the deep snow, towards the large hill behind the building. Koda looked like he'd rather be anywhere but there.
"Where others?" he asked, huffing as they climbed up the hill. Chase was about out of breath.
"They're waiting for us at the top." the black ranger panted, his breath hanging in front of him like a mist. As they neared the top, he grunted, "Hills are evil."
Finally reaching the top, they were greeted by the other three rangers, who were in the middle of building forts. Shelby was wearing a hot pink coat with matching gloves and earmuffs. She and Tyler, who was dressed in a bright red coat, gloves, and a red hat with snowflakes and snowmen on it, ran over to them. Shelby gave Koda a quick hug. "Its about time you two got here."
"We would have been here sooner but sleeping beauty here refused to cooperate." Chase teased, taking the snowboards over to the other's boards, where they were stacked. Riley popped up from behind a snow fort nearly as big as him.
"Hey, are we going to do this or what?" he asked. He was wearing a poofy green coat, thick gloves and a green hat with long tassels hanging down either side of his face. Chase and Koda immediately went to work building their own forts as snow continued to fall. Finally, when they had finished, the rangers declared war. Snowballs flew left and right, bouncing off forts and trees. Poor Koda looked so lost.
Tyler quickly ran beside him, ducking to avoid one of Shelby's shots. He packed a snowball together and handed it to the caveman. "You've got to throw them."
Koda nodded and quickly followed the red ranger's instructions, making a lumpy snowball. Tyler gave him a thumbs up and turned to run back to his fort. He stopped suddenly when he felt a snowball hit him in the back of the head. He turned to see Koda grinning with pride. Tyler shook his head with a smile and ran back to his fort.
The snowball fight raged on for another thirty minutes before they called a mutual truce. Tyler, Chase, and Riley decided they wanted to snow board while Shelby taught Koda how to build a snowman, a concept that the caveman couldn't wrap his head around.
The red, green, and black rangers raced down the hill, Tyler and Riley both wiping out twice. By the time they made it back up to the top of the hill, Shelby and Koda had made a snowman in the shape of a T-Rex. Tyler wrapped the pink ranger in his arms, kissing her cold nose. Riley and Chase looked at each other and pretended to gag.
The rest of the day was spent sledding and ice skating. Koda eventually became more comfortable with the snow, not wanting to go back inside when the sun had begun to set. That evening, they were all sitting in Koda's cave, sipping at hot chocolate and tea. Chase nudged at the caveman's foot and asked, "So, Koda, do you still think that snow is bad?"
"Snow is good." he told them with a wide smile. He took a large gulp of his hot chocolate, leaving a whip cream mustache on his top lip. The rangers laughed. It was a perfect end to a perfect day.
