Third POV
The ski lift brought everyone to the top of Jake's Mountain. They all hopped off and headed into the cabin. They went to the counter to give in the goggles they borrowed and made their way back outside.

"Where's everyone else?" Everest asked Zuma as he made his way to her.

"Still inside," Zuma responded.

"Oh, you guys are already out," Skye said in surprise as she and her brother walked to them.

"I still haven't shoveled up any snow from the driveway," Bolt reminded Skye.

"You can do it later," Skye stated.

"It'll be colder later at night," he mentioned. "I'll go shovel the snow and meet you guys at Chase's. Just text me the address."

"Okay, sure," Skye nodded.

"See ya guys later," Bolt waved. He walked off and went down the ski lift as everyone else got out of the cabin.

"Ready?" Chase observed. Everyone looked around to make sure everyone was there.

"Wait, where's your brother?" Marshall asked Skye.

"He went to shovel the snow in the driveway," she explained.

"Is he coming later?" Chase questioned.

"Yeah. Mind giving me your address so I can send it?"

"Yeah, sure," Chase nodded, holding his hand out for her to give him her phone. Skye gave her phone to Chase as he typed in his address.

"Let's head out! Zuma hollered. Everyone got back on the ski lift and sat in the same order as before. They made their way to the bottom and started heading out when everyone was off. They all walked and had little conversations with each other. Rocky had just begun to feel cold as Zuma chattered his teeth. Everest had no struggle with this weather. She bent down and picked up a chunk of snow. Everest began to shape it with her hands into a sphere. She looked at everyone who continued to walk ahead. No one had noticed she stayed back. Everest flung her hand back and shot the snowball directly at Zuma's back.

"Ah!" Zuma shouted in surprise as he turned around. He turned to find Everest dying of laughter. "Oh, so that's funny!?" Zuma bent down and did the same procedure Everest had just done. He flung the snowball to Everest and hit her leg.

"Hey!" Everest yelled. She picked up another bit of snow and threw the snowball at Zuma. Well, that's what she intended to do. Zuma ducked, causing the snowball to hit Skye in the back of her head.

"What the-?" Skye began. She and everyone else turned around to find Everest standing with an "oops" face. "What was that?"

"Sorry," Everest apologized. "I meant to hit Zuma." Zuma caught Everest off guard and used that opportunity. He launched another snowball and hit her in the face. Zuma and Marshall began to crack up. Everest brushed off the snow ad stood there in shock. She grabbed two snowballs and threw them at Zuma and Chase.

"What'd I do?" Chase asked, bending down to get snow.

"I meant to hit Marshall," Everest responded. In a matter of seconds, everyone was throwing snow at anyone they were able to.

"Stop!" Rocky yelled, causing everyone to freeze. "I'm freezing!" Everyone looked at each other and then attacked Rocky at the same time with snowballs. "No!" He picked up snow and began to defend himself. No one was striking Chase as much, so he snuck up behind people and knocked them down. He put his two hands in front of him and pushed them into piles of snow. The first person he shoved was Rubble.

"Ah!" Rubble yelled in defeat as he got knocked down into a pile of snow. Chase quickly ran off and made his way to Rocky. He rapidly pushed him, causing Rocky to collapse in a mound of snow as Rubble had done. Chase dashed away and tackled Marshall to the ground. Skye and Everest noticed what Chase was doing, so they slung snowballs at him. Zuma joined in as Chase tried to get to Zuma. Just as Everest went off to get more snow, Chase took the chance and propelled her into the snow. Chase then took off and tackled Zuma down.

"Dude!" Zuma yelled. Chase ended up burying Zuma into the snow and was able to see his face.

"Last one," Chase said to himself. He got up and stared at Skye. She stood there, knowing she was going to get pushed down. Chase charged at Skye as she ran off. He began to chase her until Skye slowed down. She was panting for air, causing the cold air to fill her lungs. Skye stopped running and bent down with her hands on her knees, trying to catch her breath. Chase charged at her and knocked her into a pile of snow.

"Wooo!" Chase cheered. He looked around and saw everyone on snow, either chilling or cleaning the snow off of themselves. Just as Chase turned his back on Skye, she got up and got ready.

"Payback," she said as he turned around to face her. Skye pushed him into a mound of snow and started laughing at him. Chase smiled at the view of her laughing. His foot was right between her's, so he decided to trip her. He moved his foot and hit his foot against her left one, causing her to fall over. She stopped laughing and landed right on top of Chase. Their faces were close to each other as they stared into each other's eyes, seeing their reflection. Chase meant to trip Skye but didn't mean for her to fall on him. Neither of them moved or said a word. They both blushed and slowly began moving closer and closer to each other.

"Get a room!" Zuma yelled, startling them. They turned and saw everyone standing in a line, watching the two.

"Oh, uh, we weren't- w-we didn't," Chase stuttered as Skye quickly got off of him.

"Yeah, uh-huh," Marshall smirked. Skye stood up and slapped the snow off of her legs.

"Let's keep going," Rubble decided. Everyone nodded and followed as Marshall led the way. Skye and Chase stayed back. Skye was still trying to shake off the snow while Chase still sat in the snow. She gently smiled down at Chase, who was trying to get out of the snow. He looked stuck.

"Need help?" Skye asked as Chase looked up and saw Skye standing with her hand out. Chase nodded as he placed his hand on her's. Skye locked her hand on his' and pulled aggressively.

"Thanks," Chase thanked when he got pulled out. Chase looked down and noticed he got covered in snow. He shook off as much as possible. The two began walking, trying to catch up to the others.

"Sorry 'bout that," Skye apologized.

"'bout what?" Chase questioned.

"Me falling on top of you," Skye said, looking up at him. Her face reddened a little as Chase caught this.

"It's fine," he smiled.

"Careful, lovebirds," Everest stated. "There's ice all over."
