Rocky woke up in his father's cave. It was very cold as snow had fallen the night before.

Rocky got up and made his way towards the kitchen to get some hot cocoa to warm up and enjoy. Milly was gone. He had to get up early to run some errands and do whatever.

So Rocky was on his own.

Not that Rocky cared. Milly was hardly a father to him, anyhow.

Anyways, Rocky made some warm hot cocoa and rested on the couch as he sipped from his mug.

Rocky felt lonely, but he always reminded himself that it was better that way as he couldn't understand friendship like Willy and his kids did.

"*sigh* Just be alone, Rocky. If no one wants to be your friend, then it is their loss, not yours.", he told himself as he took another sip.

He was all alone.

************************

School was cancelled due to the huge storm that had taken place the night before.

So, everyone was free!

Everyone slept in and decided to have a lazy day while Willy did his work on the computer in his makeshift "office".

That way, they wouldn't run the risk of bothering him.

Albert read some science books about time travel and if it could be possible to bring time travel into reality.

Bonzo decided to go outside and play on the frozen-over backyard pond to try out his new hockey stick.

Tina did some sketches to brush up on her skills in art.

Hector watched history documentaries on his phone about the Mayans. He was always so curious about how those people lived and what their culture was like.

Tito did some reading about mountainous areas and how people live in those places.

Lastly, Pop decided to watch some cartoons on his phone and some funny cat videos.

It seemed to be an easy, slice-of-life day.

Nothing of any importance.

Until...

Bonzo fell right through the ice!

Willy saw this when he looked up from his computer. He instantly got up and made his way over to the pond outside.

"I am coming, Bonzo! Hang on!", he shouted as he ran.

"Hang on to what!?", shouted Bonzo back as he struggled to tred water with his frozen hands.

Luckily, Willy managed to save Bonzo and pulled him to safety using the hockey stick as Bonzo was close to the edge. The pond not being very big also helped a bit.

Bonzo was brought inside. The hockey stick was placed by the table in the kitchen to keep it safe on Bonzo's orders.

Willy wrapped a towel and a blanket around him before putting his feet in a tub of water. Bonzo shivered and sneezed. Willy shook his head.

"Don't you EVER scare me like that again!", he scolded. But, then he sighed. "But, I am just glad that you are alright, and luckily that pond isn't very big or that deep, for that matter.", he commented.

Everyone heard the commotion and made their way out of the room.

"Hey, I heard shouting. What's going on?", asked Tito.

"Bonzo fell in the pond. Don't worry, though. He is OK.", Willy replied.

Everyone looked on before reluctantly making their own ways back into the room and back to what they were doing.

**************************

Bonzo shivered and sneezed. He had a miserable cold. Willy made some nice, warm soup to make him feel better.

"Here, Bonzo! Some nice soup for you to feel better. And here is some nice hot chocolate for you as well", he said as he handed the items to Bonzo as he spoke of them.

Bonzo took them with no hesitation.

"Thank you, Willy. *sneeze* This will make me feel... *sneeze* ... much better."

Willy watched as Bonzo ate his soup and drank his hot chocolate.

He sighed heavily.

"Boy, I don't know what I am going to do with that boy, but no matter what, he keeps things surely interesting.", Willy commented to himself before turning around to get back to work.

Yep, it was just another slice-of-life day... with a nice little touch of trouble- courtesy of Bonzo, our favorite football.
