The next day, at the Ramshackle Dorm, it had snowed the night before so the area was covered in a large blanket of white powdered snow. Everyone in the Ramshackle Dorm walks outside and is amazed to see the snow.
Grim looks around and says, "Ooh, check it out, Briar! We got a whole blanket of snow out here!"
"I see. It looks very lovely outside," Briar.
The snow looks kind of sparkly," Sereia replies.
Tanzanite wraps his arms and reacts, "Brrr. No wonder it seemed chilly."
"Yeah. It looks really cold outside," Jasper says.
Trinket flies to see the snow. Suddenly, the cold air blows, causing her to shiver. Theme quickly tucks herself inside Briar's pocket.
"Poor Trinket," Sereia says.
"The cold might be too chilly for her," Briar says.
Then says, "We'd better check on the fireplace.
"Yeah, maybe the fire fairies are feelin' the chill, too. Better bring 'em some firewood," Grim says.
He then smiles, "Ooh, and I can check out the kitchen an' see if they got any leftovers while I'm there! La-la-laaa!"
"Maybe. I could use something hot to eat," Jasper says.
"Well, it's best we start heading over there, the snow might make it a bit difficult if the path isn't clear," Briar says.
With that, the group of friends walk down the path leading to Main Street and to the school. After some time of walking in the cold weather, they all reach the cafeteria. Of course, Jasper, Briar, and Tanzanite hold some of the firewood needed for the job
Shivering, Grim says, "Geez, it was cold out there! My paws feel like icicles!"
"I'm cold," Sereia says.
Jasper breaths his breath into his hands as he rubs it, "Yeah. The weather is colder than we thought.
Then Grim turns to Briar, "Briar, hurry up and get that firewood in the fireplace."
"Alright then," Briar says.
Briar then places the firewood she and the twins brought into the fireplace. Suddenly, a fairy with a body and outfit made of fire appears and lights up the firewood. Now the fire ignites in the fireplace, allowing the place to warm.
Grim sighs, "Ahhh... You guys must be the fire fairies. I'm feelin' warm and fuzzy just being near you."
The Fire Fairy lets out crackle sounds in reply.
Trinket flies to the Fire Fairy and tinks to greet the fairy. The Fire Fairy crackles like it's talking. The two fairies begin to talk and are having a good conversation.
"What do you think they're talking about?" Sereia asks.
"I'm not sure, but it's nice that Trinket gets to talk to other fairies," Briar says.
"I agreed. It's nice," Tanzanite replies.
Suddenly, Grim catches a strange sound. It souls like sizzling and chopping.
Grim ears twitch and wonders, "Hm? What's that I hear over the crackling fire? Chopping? And...sizzling meat?!" Soon, Grim's nose picks up a wonderful smell, "And now my nose is tinglin' with the spicy aroma of foreign cuisine! It's coming from the kitchen."
"That's odd. I thought we might be the only ones here besides the fairies. And most of the ghosts already left the campus," Briar says.
"So then, who else could still be here?" Jasper wonders.
