AN: Sorry for the long wait =( I had to do so much for school =( And sorry this is so short!

The idea for the snowballfight is from SilverHeart09, she used it in her fic 'December with Clint and Natasha'. I hope it's okay that I kind of steal it.

Pepper hated the winter.

Most of the times, it rained, it was way to cold and nasty business associates wanted to clear everything before the new year (like the deal with that computer-company couldn't wait till january!), what meant that she had even more meetings than usual.

And now, to all this, she had five Avengers (Thor was on Asgard, once again) hopefully standing in front of her, pleading her to go out with them to see the snow.

It's not that Pepper didn't like the snow, she in fact loved the innocent white that made even the darkest ally look brighter, but she had really no time.

That didn't stop the other five from giving her a puppy look and trying.

„Oh, come on! It's gonna be fun!"

„I don't doubt that, Tony, I just have this two really important meetings today..."

„Can't they wait? You're CEO, just cancel them!"

„It's not that easy, Clint, I..."

„Why not? CEO means you're the boss, doesn't it?"

„Yes, Steve, but the other board members have a say in this too..."

„Let me talk to them!"

„No, Natasha, I still need them!"

„Oh, come on, just an hour." Bruce asked.

Pepper closed her eyes. She really didn't want to go to this meetings.

„Okay, but just one hour."

They were in the central park, and to Peppers big suprise it was nearly empty. She wondered where all the kids were that usually played here on such a wonderful day...

...till a snowball hit her side.

She glared in the direction where the ball had come from and saw a shocked Steve. He obviously had wanted to hit Tony.

„Snowballfight!" Clint yelled, and Natasha rolled her eyes.

„Really?"

„Yes. Dirty and unfair."

„I'm in." Tony said exited.

„Me too" Steve said, while Bruce only nodded.

Pepper looked around and than found her answer: She threw a snowball in Steves and one in Clints face.

Both looked at her horrified.

„You said dirty and unfair." She shrugged.

„That's my girl!" Tony laughed.

After – of course – much more than one hours, after they made sure Pepper missed both her meetings, they finally got home, soaked but happy.

„We have to do that again tomorrow!" Tony stated.

AN: I feel kind of bad for sending Thor away again, but truth is I can't really write him. The others are easier. Tell me what you think!
