I want Frosty to be my friend forever! I want Frosty to be my friend forever! I want Frosty to be my friend forever! I'm screaming in my head, trying not to cry on the outside, trying not to be selfish, but it's just not fair! I want to have new experiences with this snowman every day, forever! What would be left without good, old, Frosty the Snowman? Only his classic song and movie will be left, leaving me crying, begging for winter memories again with my old friend. I don't care if I ever turn into a snowman myself, I want to be with my only friend, and have him be with his only friend! Christmas just won't be the same, even though Frosty is slowly changing my belief system for magic forever!

Frosty interrupted my thoughts and cries by asking me, softly, "We'll have to make these next five days really special. Why don't we play outside from here on out? Anything you want, I'll follow you. This is your chance. What do you want to do?"

I didn't know what to say. I wanted to say that I wanted him to stay here, but I couldn't do that. I would make him think I was being selfish, even though it might touch his heart. That's exactly what I want to do, though! I want to touch his heart to make him feel like he's not leaving me forever! I almost said it, but I chickened out. I just shyly replied, "Why don't we make snowballs today? We could have a snowball fight, or we could build that snow mountain again. What do you think?"

"I'd be happy to, Alexis. Thanks for sharing your time with me. I would really enjoy it."

We had even more fun than yesterday, since we came up with more ideas of play. We did endless things like, we built a snow fort about 4 feet tall, we knocked each other down by throwing humongous snowballs so big that they were almost bigger than ourselves at each other, making even bigger outcome splats, we climbed trees, and, finally, we warmed ourselves with hot chocolate, reminding ourselves when we first met yesterday. About an hour later, something surprised me. Me and Frosty fell asleep, and right when I was dreaming about what we could do tomorrow, Frosty, my best friend ever, dissappeared. He must've died by the fun we had today, it must've been too hard on a snowman like him, since he fell asleep after all the fun. I started screaming, "Frosty! Best friend? Where are you?" No response. I tried to feel the remnants of the wet snowman next to me, nothing. Just our leather couch, no sign of my best friend. My mom and I decided to go out, all over the state, to try to find Frosty. We asked everybody walking and driving past that might've known about the lost spirit. "No, why would you want to try to find a snowman?" Everybody already forgotten about the Christmas snowman that changed our belief systems forever! Especially mine! I will never forget the happy, exciting, wacky times me and him had together. I can almost see, in that snowy, foggy air, that Frosty might still be there. To my surprise, it took only 2 days to find the poor, helpless snowman. We finally found a policeman on Grand Avenue, and we asked him and told him about old Frosty. He understood exactly what we were talking about, and he said that we needed to hurry and Frosty was at his house at Snowy Lane. He found it along the way in the movie when he had nowhere else to go. We might've never found Frosty if it wasn't for this nice policeman! Although, it looked like it was too late when we found Frosty, half-dead, on the ground on the middle of the street across his house.
