Deucalion Family One-Shots

Snow Day! - Part Two

Next to the Hotel Deucalion was a park which had a usually grassy field.. or snowy field in the winter. This made the perfect battlefield for a war of snow. As soon as they reached the field, Fen went to sit under a tree (having no will whatsoever to participate in a snowball fight), while the other 8 split into 2 teams (Jupiter, Jack, Chanda and Frank vs Morrigan, Kedgeree, Martha and Charlie - The Yule Queen Supporters vs Saint Nick Supporters). They all took opposing sides of the field to start their planning and to start making their home bases. Five minutes later they were ready to start the battle.  

"3"

"2"

"1"

"Battle begin!"

With that, the teams scattered, attempting to dodge the flying snowballs while trying to throw their own. About five minutes in, Frank (being the drama queen he is) had been shot down and began some grand death speech, so the Yule Queen Supporters had pulled out their brollies and grouped together to shield their fallen warrior. As Frank got up, he scooped up a ball of snow and threw it at Martha, hitting her on the shoulder. All laughing, they ran about again, dodging and throwing snowballs. 10 minutes later, they had split teams and it was now everyone for themselves (there were a few alliances (Martha and Chanda)). 

It was all going spectacularly until Fen got hit - Jupiter had thrown a snowball at Chanda who had been standing in front of Fen and had also ducked, the snowball had then hit the Magnificat. She had hissed and jumped up in fright, glaring at Jupiter. 

"Whoops-"

"Whoops? Whoops?! What do you mean 'whoops'?!"

"Oh dear.. I don't think this is going to end well," Martha muttered. 

Morrigan and Jack shared a look, surely Fen wouldn't hurt Jupiter... right?

Fenestra then did something none of them were expecting. 

She smirked and bumped the tree that was towering above Jupiter, sending the snow from the branches down upon him. They all held their breath as they stared in shock. Suddenly, Jupiter's head popped out of the snow pile, "I forgot how weird snow tasted-" 

They all burst out laughing. 

"He looks like a snowman!" 

"A strange-looking one.."

That sparked the idea of creating a snowman. They wrapped him up in a red scarf and handed him a green umbrella and bestowed Jupiter's old top hat upon his head. They named him Carl.

Bidding their goodbyes to Carl, the 9 of them strolled back to the Hotel, cold and shivering but laughing joyously all the way.

Hey there! I finally got round to updating again! The last two chapters are probably not very good because I live in a warmer part of Australia and therefore have never seen actual snow, I did a heap of research about ice skating and snowball fights for these two chapters and all I can say is that it looks like fun! Also, I don't currently have my copy of Nevermoor with me at the moment so I'm not quite sure who supports which Christmas idol so if I have made a mistake with that, please tell me!
