Seven Year Snow Drought

It's been seven years since Ice Cube has seen snow. How she longed to see snow. Six years ago, she couldn't wait to prove everyone wrong. She said that on Christmas a huge snowstorm would come and cover the world like a big white blanket. But it never happened. And she was left dissapointed, for seven years.

But this year, she had hope. It was particularly colder this year. It had gone below freezing a few times last November. No snow, but hope.

And Four's weather reports have started to predict snowfall in a few days. She couldn't wait. She told everyone about it, even if they knew.

She told Bubble, Match, Pencil, Bracelety, Ruby, and Fanny when she hung out with Bubble.

Pencil and Match gave an unenthusiastic "Cool", before continuing babbling about different things to each other. Ruby let out a hooray, and Bubble gave an excited "Yay". Fanny mumbled that she hates snow. Bracelety was happy that she was happy.

But she could care less about what they think. As long as snowfall would come, she would be the happiest person alive.

She had just exited the house her team had lived in. It was chilly, for everyone else. She smiled, soaking in the cold air. She could see a few objects from other teams walking around outside and talking, scarves and hats, sometimes gloves on.

Her grin widened as she looked at each teams Christmas decor. She noticed Coiny, Pin, Loser, Needle and Leafy all putting up Christmas decorations at The Losers house.

Death P.A.C.T's house was a little messy, most likely due to Black Hole accidentally sucking up some of the decorations

Team 8 Names' house was a jumble of different decorations. From mistletoes to big inflatable Santa's, it was a mess. She chuckled, they didn't work together very well. But it did make for a funny little setup.

Team Ice Cubes house was just finished. All of their teammates seemed to share their opinions on it. Bracelety waved and cheered as Ice Cube walked by.

A Better Name Than That's house was pretty bland. Just a row of lights bordering the roof, that was it.

BEEP's house was decorated sloppily. Mainly because Balloons and Woody are the only two on the team that can really do anything.

Free Foods house was almost complete. Fries and Lollipop were talking to each other as Eraser, Marker, and Stapy worked on the decorations.

Ice Cube approached them. "Hey Ice Cube, whatcha doing here?" Fries asked, uncrossing his arms.

"I just wanted to know if you guys are excited for the snow that is coming." She cheered happily.

Lollipop gave one of her sassy smiles. "I wouldn't count on it." She said.

Ice Cube huffed at the pessimistic statement. "It doesn't matter! Cause when snow falls I'm going to celebrate like I've never before!"

Lollipop snickered, which was followed by Fries elbowing her lightly. She grunted as she glared at Fries.

Fries turned his attention back to Ice Cube. "I wouldn't mind the snow, but I won't cry if it doesn't come. For me, if it comes it comes."

Ice Cube nodded.

"Cguyz! It'z znowingk!" Cloudy shouted.

Just then Ice Cube felt a flake of snow pop on her head, followed by millions of other flakes falling.

Ice Cubes grin widened so much, where it almost hurt. Her eyes seemed to sparkle.

Fries let out a chuckle, and smirked at Lollipop. "Wouldn't count on it, huh?"

Lollipop rolled her eyes.

And that day made her the happiest girl alive.
