Tales From CP9

Chapter 5. Snowball Fight

     It was lightly snowing outside Enies Lobby, so Lucci, Kaku, and I decided to go to the park in Water Seven in order to enjoy the nice, chilly weather. The snow covered the ground, and made it look like it was coated in a thick layer of powder sugar. It was so beautiful.

    We came across a booth that sold clothing for animals, so Lucci bought a scarf for Hattori.  Kaku brought his giraffe jacket with him, and ended up putting it on later in the afternoon. It looked cute on him. I could tell he really appreciated it. 

     Suddenly, the snow stopped. We were eating lunch in a cafe, when someone pointed out that the snow had indeed, stopped. 

     "Hey, I've got an idea!" said Kaku. "Let's go outside and have some fun in the snow, it will be like we're kids again."

     "Yeah, that's a good idea, Kaku!" I exclaimed. Lucci nodded in agreement, and we left the cafe . When we returned to the park, we were surprised to see that no one else was there. 

     "Oh well, more snow for us!" Lucci said smiling. I scooped up a handful of snow and threw it at Kaku while his back was turned. HE GAVE ME "THE LOOK!" 

     "Oh, you're going to get it!" Kaku exclaimed, and with that, he grabbed a big 'ol  wad of snow and hurled it straight at me, I dodged the attack, and the snow-wad hit Lucci. Lucci brushed the snow off of his face and hit me with a large snowball. 

     "Gyaaa!" I yelled ferociously, I ran behind a tree, and started making a surplus of ammunition out of the nearby snow, meanwhile, Kaku and Lucci were busy duking it out by a small now-frozen pond. 

     "Take this, Lucci!" cried out Kaku as he chucked snowballs at us, "You too, Shouko!" Kaku had gotten so into the snowball fight, he hadn't even noticed me sneaking up behind him, with snowballs in my hands, ready to attack!

     I let out a mighty battle cry, and unleashed an onslaught of snowballs at poor Kaku. Kaku knew he was in trouble, and used his beastial powers to transform into a giraffe hybrid, little did he know,that  it was surprisingly difficult to make snowballs when you have hooves instead of hands. So Kaku spent most of his time in his giraffe form running away from me and Lucci. 

     By the time we were done with our snowball fight, we were all worn out, and ready to head back to Enies Lobby. Hattori covered himself in Lucci's hair to keep himself warm, and Kaku lent me his jacket so that I wouldn't catch a cold.     

     When we got back home, Kalifa was making chicken noodle soup. It was warm, and delicious, it reminded me of what my mother used to make for me and my brother whenever it was cold out. Nothing is better after a snowball fight then a nice hot bowl of chicken-noodle soup.
