With a thermos full of hot chocolate, she raced along the snowy ground. Bundled up in her green wool coat with cream fuzzy trim, she decided her best friend couldn't be cold either! Flopping along behind Angel was the stuffed bunny wearing her ear muffs and scarf being dragged along by the hand.

Spinning in circles trying to catch snow on her tongue. Bright giggling filled the air. Ever changing eyes watched the coven members rush in from the cold. It was nice to be a kid, but it was better to have friends her size.

"Bunny. Do you think there will be more kids like me one day?" Flopping back to make a snow angel a great idea came to her. If there weren't more friends her size why not make them!!

Mitten covered hands set to work. Snowman after snowman sprung up on the open ground. Each with their own funny face. Sticking her tongue out as she put another coal eye in place she smiled at bunny.

"Now we have lots of friends! Oh!!! Bunny! You need a friend like you!" Dropping to her knees, the curly blonde set to work making a snow bunny the same size as her stuffed bunny. Sitting them next to each other as she finished.

"Angel. It is getting late. What have you been up to before dinner?" Miranda strolled out from the house to be greeted by what felt like a thousand eyes.

"Mommy I made snow friends! Can they come to dinner?"

"I don't think so dear. They will melt while you get warm. We can play with them tomorrow." Miranda chuckled as she plucked her daughter from the cold ground with her stuffed bunny.

"Okay mommy." With a yawn as she curled on her mother's shoulder. "We should all have snow friends. I'lll......" A big yawn came out of such a little girl. "I'll make you and daddy one tomorrow."

After playing with all her new snow friends, Angel decided everyone at the coven should have one too! Pulling out her crayons and pretty blue paper, she set to work. Laying on her stomach, feet swinging behind her as bunny was propped up watching her work.

"Think about it bunny. If everyone had a snow friend how could they every be sad. Mommy said I could ask people to make them for the big party that way it will be even more fun!"

By bed time, this little girl had a few piles of flyers around her to pass out to the coven members. Of course with mommy and Yas there was no telling how many snow friends they would have. Missy Yasmin was always fun and they could make the snowman match her! Blue with white hair! There has to be a way!

As for most events, the wild, blue-skinned, white-haired, shapeshifter was flipping through fashion magazines trying to figure out what to wear for the Snow Moon. She turned to a green trenchcoat. The model had on black leggings and black knee high stiletto heeled boots. Yasmin liked it.

She quickly morphed into the outfit, including the wide black belt. She didn't look quite right' then she realized what the difference was, and she morphed into the blond, fair skinned model. There. She looked spot on. Of course she did. She was good. Just don't ask her what?s on underneath the coat. Considering the picture didn't show anything under the coat"

When Yasmin heard Angel wanted everyone to make snowmen, her head began buzzing with so many ideas about a fun snowman to make. "This would be a lot easier if I could take my head off and take a look in there,? she thought out loud. That was the final idea she needed. Yasmin was always one for the unusual. You probably couldn't get any stranger than a snowman holding his own head.

Fiona was walking around the Bristle Crios Demon House gardens trying to find an inspiration of what to wear to the Snow Moon event. She looked up among the branches of the great trees of the forest around the gardens. Snow and ice covered the mighty branches turning them into ethereal limbs. She found the inspiration for which she was looking and she left a fun little snowmen display in gratitude by the gardens.

Fiona found a brown suede coat with grey and white fur trim, mimicking the snow-covered branches. She paired the brown coat with warm brown pants and tough boots. She even managed to find a matching grey and white fur clutch. Lastly, she added diamond jewelry to mirror the ice suspended from the snow-covered branches. Now that she had the perfect outfit, she needed to prepare her perfect chili, an Irish chili. Secret ingredient' Guinness.

Lydia was excited to attend the Snow Moon. She picked out a beautiful gown to match her elegant grey fur coat. She found warm high heeled boots to wear under her long gown. She adorned her outfit with stunning sapphire jewelry. She was hoping to run into Leta. She hadn't seen her twin in quite awhile. She had heard rumors that her sister was involved in some local crimes. It couldn't possibly be true; Leta wouldn't complete minor crimes herself.

Leta was a little pre-occupied with her current assignments, but she had to meet someone at the Snow Moon. Hopefully she could avoid Lydia, and everyone else. She quickly threw together a simple outfit in order to attend the event; a white corset, black skirt, black coat, and black knee high boots. Her plate was full these days. She didn't have time to plan out a ground breaking fashion masterpiece. Any one who had a problem with that could tell it to her face.

Lydia was excited to make indoor friendly snowmen for each of the houses of Bristle Crios with her youngest students. A few well stacked boxes and batting made festive additions to the houses. She also helped the children make fun snowmen soaps, fun pompom snowmen and other crafts. See more of Lydia's Snowman Crafts.

Leta typically didn't get caught up in festivities, but making a snowman seemed harmless enough " and that was something she could change. All around Rhydin, wherever there were patches of snow, people would find traditional snowmen with hand written signs that said, "I'll be dead soon.? That should be enough to freak out a few kids.

After many days of coming home covered in soot and flecks of metal Miranda decided for once to not only be cute for an evening, but a sexy mommy. The heavy knit plum dress would keep her warm inside and out. A classic leather trench coat to match the riding heeled boots. Black leggings would help if she decided to try her hand at the snow ball wars.

Smokey hues from pale lavender to black, bringing out those bright mint green eyes. A pink lip and just this once, Miranda straightened her hair. Of course the defiant curls decided to settle for a wave instead. Taking a look in the mirror she thought it was done still Morgan and Angel rounded the corner.

"Shut your eyes, Mommy! We have a surprise!" Angel could hardly stand still. Holding a small velvet box in her hands.

Morgan chuckled as he draped the rose gold necklace over Miranda's collar bones. Like a firework, brightly colored stones seemed to burst in all directions while ribbons of chocolate diamonds flowed seamlessly throughout. Sweet little Angel slipped on the matching ring to make her mommy's outfit complete. Kneeling down to give her daughter a great big hug, the family was ready for the party.

Having enough of snowmen and wanting to set a good example for Angel, Miranda made a snow goddess. A classic snow body with a winter wreath on it's head to represent the crone. Of course she had coal to make the eyes and a little branch for the mouth. She stood back with her hands on her hips and a smile. Now to go inside for something to warm her hands.

Morgan is planning a surprise early return to attend. He'll more or less show up during the event in his travel clothes.

At least he'll have a few treats and surprises for his little one, her friends, and the adults.

This bartender could clean up when she wanted to. Standing back in the vintage mirror that leaned against the wall, she adjusted the fedora one last time. Simple, elegant and if most things that could be spilled on her wouldn't show. Fingers tracing her grandfather's watch draped down her neck, Chris smiled softly.

"Time to shine, Chris." She could hear is rough voice. "Give them hell and if you can't be good, just don't get caught."

Spilling on her coat and shoes. She headed off to the party. Ready to give it her all.

Of course Chris had to test the bottles that were going to be used at the Snow Moon! What kind of bartender would she be if she didn't!" Honestly!

The list was three pages long and at the bottom of page two she was just about done for. Small print is very tricky folks! Staggering out into the snow, she had a wicked, wonderful, crazy idea. Maybe she had been watching to many horror movies. Maybe it had been the mixture of booze in her belly, but it all turned out good. Her art degree came in handy for once! Yay!

Waking up in the snow holding onto her fedora, Chris found something so cool. Especially, the snowman of her. How she would face the beast about to kill them all and there was no way out. Can you say BAB" Big Ass Bottle!

Sarah is calling that night, so why not wear something to be noticed in. Bright red striped hat, jacket, and the megaphone. She brings treats of course. Heart shaped cookies because it is the month of love, but also her zesty chili complete with a side order of Cinnamon Rolls. Don't rag it till ya try it!

Despite all the planning it was very clear a sweater dress would not hold up to a duel. Holding an outfit in the locker room just in case, Miranda relaxed. All was taken care of now.

The dark washed denim with snow flakes embroidered on the back pockets. Pink satin tank shirt and black ruffled coat. How she loved the heels. Angel was the one who picked them out. Oh what a night this promised to be.

Spinning and twirling with bunny in her arms, Angel couldn't wait to go down to the party. She had kept her dress clean, shoes sparking pretty and her coat extra fluffy! That was the only way to pretend to be a snow bunny like bunny! She was going to get into a snowball fight with mommy and daddy and win! Bunny was going to help her so how could she lose!

Charm bracelet jingling as she jumped up and down telling bunny the story of how they would take down her parents.

"You keep making the snowballs behind the fort we make, cause we are going to need a fort. They are bigger than us, but that means they will be easier to hit too! Go for daddy's arms and mommy's sides. I'll go left...No! I will go right! No.....maybe the middle! You know what we will just charge, bunny!"

This whole thing had fight written on it from the get go. She had been promised parts damn it! If those brass fittings did not appear a certain blue neck was going to feel a vice grip on her neck. Speak of the...oh no....It's a trap!

Rounding the corner holding a pink dress with brass gears sewn on for decoration was Yasmin. Trying to turn tail and run, Jack found herself trapped in Morph House! Arms crossed over her chest she started doing calculations, anything to forget what abomination was being held up in front of her.

Feeling something crawl on her skin, Jack stopped looking at the ceiling and looked down. She was in the dress and Yasmin was nowhere to be found. Fingers digging into the dress till it said ouch' Since when do....A pair of eyes blinking up from the full skirt.

"Get off of me and give me back my clothes! I don't like you that way or in anyway woman! Off! Take your body tape with you and give up! I will wear what I like and that is that! I don't care if that guy shows up and further more it is not a date!"

The half fae stormed on the coven grounds back to her bunker half naked in the snow. Clothes bundled up in her arms. She would show her. Can't put together an outfit that is cute. Why the hell does it have to be cute!? The blue one doesn't even know how to run a basic boiler for the love of chaos! Safe in her bunker of doom, Jack set out to prove Yasmin wrong! Mwhahahahahahahahahah! Warning! There is a plotting Jack on the loose!

"What the heck?" Between her greasy palms was Angel's handmade letter about snow friends. Crumpling it up and tossing it on the work bench, Jack reached for her markers and spare cardboard. Fast scribbling and a snow mound later she was back in the bunker.

A few hours later and her computer bracelet went off. C.A.M's calm tones chimed through about dinner and the need to make a new snow creation or the next parts shipment would be with held. "You wouldn't dare." Jack growled. Of course she would. Jack had created C.A.M to beat her to the punch and keep things running smooth so she could work.

"Fine! Just make sure there is a large cherry coke with my dinner."

Not more than 5 minutes later what she liked to call a minion looked like it would bite the ankles of anyone who passed them.

There were many things she could have been doing, but right now she wanted to help! Her mommy was going to marry daddy and no one seemed to know how to make a cake when she asked. Storming off she followed her nose to Lydia. After much begging and promising not to touch the oven, Angel was handed and apron and set to work.

Giggling as she watched the sugar bubble under the cooking blow torch. Whipping away with a whisk her size mind you and of course sprinkles! What little girl doesn't love sprinkles!

Nothing was safe from her wrath. Batter flung this way and that. Speckling her, Lydia and bunny boosted up in a chair with cookbooks. "Cause bunny has to watch. Bunny will remember the order and how much."

If asked she would declare her favorite moment to be when she spilled a whole bag of flour. Gasping and scrambling down from her stool, Angel declared that it looked like snow! "Miss Lydia! I can make an indoor snow me!"

Flopping down in the flour to send it every where in a hazy cloud, her giggling filled the air. Soon there was a snow Angel on the floor. In desperate need of a bath, Angel was guided back home to her mother. Still giggling and shimmering in sugar.
