We walk out of the school building on the last day of the first semester to snow falling silently around us.

"Look, Chara! It's snowing!"

"I see that, Frisk," I say, looking up at the sky.

Large flakes of pure white fall softly around us. The ground outside our school is already covered.

"What, Frisk, haven't you seen snow before?" Asriel's voice, slightly more gravely than Frisk's, sounds to my  right.

"No, I haven't." He says.

"What?" I say, startled. I look at him, "what about Snowdin?"

"Well yeah, of course I saw plenty of snow there, and I saw snow falling during the fight with Papyrus."

I flinch subconsciously. You saw snow three times, Frisk. I think to myself, I remember.

Frisk doesn't notice. Or if he does, he doesn't call me out on it. "This is the first time I've seen snow on the surface."  He finishes.

He smiles at me, a smile that rapidly fades when he sees the look on my face. "Um...Chara? Is there something wrong?"

I paste a smile back on my face again. "Nah...it's ....it's nothing."

He opens his mouth like he wants to something, but then seems to think better of it. I see in the corner of my eye Asriel looking concerned.

"Come on." I say, ignoring them both, "We should start walking."

Asriel looks doubtfully into what's quickly becoming a tunnel of snow. "I don't fancy walking in this."

"All the more the reason to start walking now," I say stubbornly. I step off the concrete steps and march in the general of the house.

Home's about a mile away, which is about a 30 minute walk. It's along a straight road with forests on both sides and pretty much nothing else. As we walk, it starts to snow a little harder. I look on the ground. We already have an inch of snow. My face spreads into an unholy grin.

"Chara, what are you thinking," Asriel says, looking wary. He's been victim to my practical jokes many times over.

"Oh....nothing." I say nonchalantly.

"I don't believe you," He says, speeding up. Frisk follows suite.

I grin wickedly and scoop up some snow in one hand. I run up behind Frisk, grab his hoodie and pour the whole lot down it.

He shivers and jumps away from me, "God damn it , Chara!" He yells. "I  knew you were up to something. Jesus, that's cold."

I stoop down to get more snow.

"Hey Chara!"

I look up to Azzy looking at me mischievously, with a hand behind his back.

"What?" I say while packing the snow together into a snowball behind my back.

"It's ICE TO MEET YOU!" He yells as he lightly throws a bunch of unpacked snow at my face.

I dive to the side so the snow barely hits me. As I'm on the ground  I throw my snowball at Asriel. I know it hits him from the cussing I hear in his general direction.

"Okay, Chara," Frisk says, wagging a finger at me, "You started this. So you asked for-"

"SNOWBALL FIGHT!!!!"  Asriel interrupts, flinging unpacked snow all  over both of us.

Me and Frisk  chase Asriel in the direction of the house laughing and yelling and throwing snowballs at each other.

A lightly packed snowball thrown my Frisk hits the side of my face sending a bunch of snow down my hoodie and shirt. "Oh, you're gonna pay for that!" I laugh.

"Don't worry Frisk, I goat  you're back!"

"Asriel, the goat puns are only funny when I say them!" I grin and throw another snowball at Frisk. "Leave the puns to me and Sans," I call to Azzy.

We keep at it fiercely for a while, an everybody for themselves snowball fight in the middle of a tunnel of snow, until my phone rings.

"Truce!" I call. "It's Mom!"

Frisk and Azzy immediately focus their energy and snow on me.

I laugh, "Seriously guys, stop!"

I pick up. "Hey mom."

"Where are you?"

"We're almost home. Why? Is there something wrong? " I ask, gripped by the familiar anxiety that something happened to one of my family while I wasn't there.

"I'm sending Sans to pick you up. This snowstorm is supposed to turn into a blizzard by tonight, and I want you at home sooner."

"Okay, I'll text him our coordinates and tell Frisk and Azzy."

"Thanks, Chara. I can always count on you."

"Of course. " I say, "bye."

I hang up and tell Frisk and Azzy the situation while texting Sans our coordinates so he can teleport to us.

A couple seconds later, Sans pops up right next to me and scares the living crap out of me. I jump four feet to the left.

"Jesus." Frisk mumbles after jumping, too. "A little more warning next time, before you give us all heart attacks, please."

"Will do." He says. "How ya doin'?" He asks us.

"Awesome!" Azzy says happily. "Winter break, here we come!"

"Heheh. Well I have the week off, so maybe we can all do something." He rolls his shoulders and yawns. "anyways, ya' know the drill. Let's get to it."

Frisk and Azzy each take one of his hands. I take hold of the sleeve of the arm that Azzy is holding. The forest and road disappears and is immediately replaced by our front porch. Toriel stands behind the door peering anxiously outside. She opens the door and ushers us inside

"Thank you, Sans," Toriel looks at him gratefully and smiles, "I do not know what we would do without you."

"You'd be fine." He mumbles, face flushing slightly.

I struggle to hide a smile when Frisk whispers softly, "I ship it!"

Sans  glares at him. Frisk just gives him the 'who, Me? ' look.

I Inhale deeply.

"I smell chocolate chip cookies." I say, looking at Toriel imploringly.

Toriel smiles and ushers us inside,"Yes I made Chocolate chip cookies and Butterscotch/ cinnamon cookies for everyone."

"And Pie?" Azzy asks.

Toriel laughs at the hopeful expressions on all of our faces. "Yes, I also made pie."

"Sweet!" Azzy says as we drop our book-bags near the front door. I automatically beeline to the kitchen, and Frisk and Azzy follow me.

I swipe a chocolate chip cookie and bite into it. I grab a couple more, placing them on a plate and sitting on a couch. I close my eyes and savor the notes of vanilla and chocolate. "Mmmm."

"Well Chara is definitely in heaven." Frisk remarks as he and Azzy sit on either side of me.

"Be careful. If you disturb her she might take your head off with her moody teenager powers." Azzy warns Frisk.

I glare at him, and he pretends to ward me off with a cookie. I grab it. "You stuck it in my face, it's mine now," I stick my tongue at him and cross my eyes.

"Ahhhh," He says, using an arm to cover his face, "It's terrifying!"

We all laugh.

Toriel comes into the living room and lights the fire. The howl of the wind outside grows louder, but we don't feel the chill.

"So are ya coming to the lab over the break, Chara?" Sans asks me.

"Of course," I mumble through a mouthful of cookie. "Wouldn't miss it for the world."

"In speaking of which, I think Undyne, Alphys, and Paps are making their way here right now," he says, checking his phone.

"I think Mettaton's going to host some sort of singing competition some time soon. At least that's what Papyrus told me." Toriel says, "Maybe we can attend ." I see Sans scowl behind her. He doesn't really like Mettaton, and he definitely doesn't like the fact Papyrus likes them.

"Sounds fun," Frisk says, "As long as you don't expect me to sing."

"Pretty much," I laugh.

We hear the door open behind us. We all turn around to see Undyne and Alphys walk through the door hand in hand, with Papyrus right behind them.
