The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event. You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found?

Two days later, Parker woke up extra happy for some reason. She just seemed to be…happy. She didn't have any idea as to why. She yawned and pulled away the curtains. It was snowing! She grinned and went to get dressed. She put on jeans and a long sleeve shirt. She skipped out of her room and went into the kitchen. The others were in there already. "Guys, it's snowing!" she said excitedly.

"It is?" asked Natasha.

"Yes! It is! I wanna go out! Who wants to come?"

"Me!" chorused Elizabeth and Lily. They both jumped out of their chairs and stood next to Parker.

"Hold up guys," said Tony, "let's wait until later okay? We need to think this through. If someone saw us with you, the media would be all over it."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "This tower feels like a prison! I haven't been able to get out in days! The only person anyone will really recognize is you! People might give Clint, Natasha, and Lily a second glance, but that's all."

"Okay, at ten we're all going to Central Park." There were squeals of delight from the Golden Trio. Lily and Elizabeth ran into their rooms while Parker climbed up into her chair. She grabbed a pancake and began to eat.

"So how long do you reckon I have before I…forget."

Tony looked to Bruce. "Well, maybe a day or so. But don't worry, we're working on a machine to reverse the spell."

Parker nodded solemnly. "I told Lily and Elizabeth what to do if I stay this age for too long."

"Hopefully you won't stay that age very long," said Steve.

"Yeah. Steve and I are having a hard time here," said Tony. "Lily's re-going through puberty and you're a little four year old! It's hard to be in a relationship with someone that much younger than you!"

-(::)-

Parker hid behind the tree. She fiddled with the sphere of ice in her hand. She peeked out from being the tree and saw her target. She threw the snowball as hard as she could and it hit Lily in the back of the head. She ducked behind the tree once more as Lily turned around wildly, trying to find the attacker. Parker suppressed a giggle as she threw another snowball at Clint. He was throughly caught by surprise and he whipped around quick enough to see Parker dodge behind the tree.

Clint scooped up his own snowball and threw it at Parker. She squeaked and ran towards a bridge. She picked up a snowball and threw it back. Clint dodged it, but because he did, it hit Tony smack in the face. Tony looked shocked at first but then smirked. He got a snowball and threw it at Clint, who got a head full of snow. Soon Lily joined in, along with Elizabeth. Eventually, Natasha, Bruce, and Steve fell prey to their childish games. They threw snowballs at each other in an all out war.

Parker was laughing like a four year old until she got a snowball thrown at the back of her head. She fell forward into the powdery, white snow and began to cry. Everyone stopped and went over to her. Bruce kneeled down in front of her. "Hey, are you okay?" She shook her head.

"I-I don't know what happened a-and I'm cold and…I want my mommy!" Parker sniffled.

Natasha looked worried. "Parker?" The young girl didn't make any response to the name. "Marie?" Parker looked up. "Tell me about yourself."

"I'm not supposed to talk to strangers," she said, still wiping away tears.

"But we're babysitting you. Your parents have gone on vacation. It's okay."

"But-but I don't remember—"

"It's okay. They'll just be gone for a while, you're fine."

"Oh. Okay. Well, my name is Marie Kiehof and I'm four years old."

Natasha smiled at her. "Okay Marie, we need to go back to where you'll be staying." Natasha picked Parker up and everyone walked towards the car, ending their snow day short.

-(::)-

In just the ten minute ride back to Stark Tower, Marie fell asleep leaning on Steve. He carried the exhausted toddler into the elevator which had luckily been fixed the day before. With Marie fast asleep, the two teams had time to talk. "So is there anything we need to know about Parker?" asked Bruce.

"Well she'd gotten her nickname Parker in seventh grade, so she'll only respond to Marie," explained Lily.

"She's also lactose intolerant," said Elizabeth. "Her milk allergy wore off when she was fourteen. She can have milk products, just not in large quantities. No straight milk. She can't have peanuts. She was able to eat them from age eleven on, but not right now."

"Never talk about Daisy to her," Lily warned. "She will start BAWLING. She doesn't any more of course, but she did at the age she in right now. Daisy was her pet cat. She died when Marie was three and a half. She'd told me this when we became better friends."

"Okay," said Clint. "No Parker, no milk, no peanuts, no Daisy. Got it." He checked each item off on his fingers.

Steve looked down at the little Marie in his arms. He never realized how much different she was at this age. Her dirty-blonde hair was now perfect blonde, just like Elizabeth's, just without the streak of silver. Her hair was very long and straight, unlike her nowadays pixie cut, naturally fairly curly hair. She was so small too. This situation reminded him a bit of his serum. If he got his serum taken away, he'd be small, scrawny, and weak, just as he use to be. She had a spell put on her and now she was small, scrawny, and weak just as she use to be.

The doors of the elevator opened. The Avengers and the Golden Trio — uh, Dynamic Duo — stepped into the living room. "Should I wake her?" asked Steve, looking back down at Marie.

"Yeah," said Elizabeth. "You probably should."

Steve wasn't quite sure how to wake up a four year old, or if there was a special way to do it, or what. "Marie," he said. "Marie you need to wake up now." The little girl stirred. "You need to meet everyone." Marie opened her eyes and looked around. She rubbed her eyes. "Hi Marie. My name is Steve," he said with a grin.

Marie smiled. "Hi Steve. That's my uncle's name." She looked at all of the other people and her eyes rested on Elizabeth. "You look like one of my friends. She's a year older than me. I just had a play date with her. Her name is Elizabeth."

Elizabeth grinned. "That's what my name is!" she said, trying to act surprised.

"That's funny," giggled Marie. "We played dress up and drew pictures. I drew a picture of a dolphin, and she drew a picture of a dog. We did puppet shows, and we had lots of fun."

"That sure sounds fun!"

"Hi there," said Dr. Banner. "My name is Bruce."

"That's my friend's brother's name!"

"Really?"

"Uh huh! And then there's Casey. She's the one who usually babysits me. Why isn't she babysitting me?"

"Well your parents are on an overnight trip. She couldn't babysit."

"Oh. Okay."

"Hello Marie," Tony said, taking one step forward. "My name is Tony Stark. This is my home."

"It's nice," complimented Marie.

"You met me earlier, I'm…" she glanced at Clint really quick who nodded. "…Natasha Romonoff."

"Natasha is a pretty name." Nat smiled.

"My name is Lily, Marie. I hope we get to know each other really well."

"I'm Clint. You seem like a nice kid."

"Thanks. I try to be nice. If I'm good and nice, Santa comes! And Christmas is only two weeks away!"

"Is it that close already?" wondered Tony.

Tony: *sigh* I'm not good with kids…

Lily: Yeah, well neither am I, so deal with it.

Tony: AglonAuthor?

Me: Yes?

Tony: I really don't like you right now.

Me: Don't say that Tony. I can make you be in charge of entertaining child Parker.

Tony: …

Me: Yeah! You're in my fanfiction! I have that power! Keep that in mind!
