A/N: Probably the one I'm least happy with, so far. Let me know what you think?

3. Snow

Jess loved snow. She wasn't really big on cold weather in general, apart from the excuse to wear her winter wardrobe - but snow was the exception to the rule.

As a kid, she'd loved making snow angels and snow-women, and even building igloos she's play games in with her friends.

But her favourite thing of all was the snowball fights.

She woke up one morning, and, as predicted, the snow was thick and fluffy on the ground. They'd struggled, but succeeded, to get to work, but things were slow moving. At lunchtime, Jess was bored, and she'd had enough.

There was a large park, about fifteen minutes' walk from the ARC. So, with an idea in mind, she text the main team.

meet me by the lifts on hub level w/outdoor clothes on in 15 mins :) xx

When she arrived, she was met with five questioning faces.

"Jess, where are we going?" asked Abby.

"Outside!" she exclaimed brightly.

"Oi!" Connor exclaimed, as something wet and vaguely solid hit his head. He whirled around to face Becker, who raised his eyebrows in shock.

"Oh, just blame me, why don't you, Temple?" Becker asked dryly.

"Who was it then?" Connor asked, looking around the group. As he began to turn around, another snowball hit him.

"Oi!" he cried again. "Jess!"

Jess giggled, another snowball in her hand, and a smirk plastered over her face, as Matt exclaimed his surprise.

Jess ducked as Connor threw a snowball at her, though it missed by several inches. Sticking her tongue out, Jess returned fire.

Seeing Abby raising her hand to help her husband, Becker bent down, and swiftly covered Jess. Smirking, Becker quickly fired another two snowballs at Becker's attackers. Jess met Becker's eyes, and both nodded. Jess ran off toward the woods, whilst Becker covered her, backtracking slowly all the while.

Matt, Abby and Connor found it impossible to break past Becker, especially as he had Emily helping him.

When the group finally arrived at the forest, Jess was prepared. Hiding behind a wall of snow, quickly compacted, she began firing snowballs at the enemy. Becker and Emily dived behind the shield, as Connor quickly began forging one of their own. Slowly, but surely, Matt and Abby broke down the wall, and Jess' team fled.

"First ones to cave are on paperwork duty!" Jess cried as they left.

"Oh!" she exclaimed, as Becker caught her from slipping. Rolling his eyes, with a smirk on his face, he tutted.

"Jessica, you ought to be more careful."

Sticking a tongue out at him, Jess righted herself.

"How far away are they, Em?" Jess asked, as Becker began climbing one of the trees.

"Quite far. They are attempting to follow the tracks, but I think we threw them off the scent."

"Good to know that the branch did its job," Jess said, as Becker spoke.

"Good," Becker said from above, smirking. "Gives me more time to rig the trap."

"What trap?" Jess questioned.

"That would be telling," Becker said, with a grin.

Though Becker's trap backfired, and though they ended up, rosy cheeked, doing the team's paperwork once they got back, Jess could safely say she'd had fun. Especially with the benefits, such as getting Becker's thick jacket around her shoulders, a large chocolate bar, and the delightful company of the man himself.

Yeah, it wasn't all that bad.
