Snowball fight? Did she just hear that correctly? With a tired smile, Taylor remembered her first snowball fight. It had been all the way back in Chicago, when she was a lot younger. It was a cold day in January…that much she could remember. And, it also happened to be the first day she had met Jenna.
“You’ve never played with snow before?! But it’s so fun! Tell ya what…we’ll challenge those boys over there to a snowball fight!”
Taylor struggled against the small girl’s grip, her own tiny body doing nothing to prevent herself from being dragged towards the boys.
“Jenna…can we please not? I..I don’t know how to make a snowball.”
“I’ll teach you then! Come on! We’ll beat those boys for sure!”
Taylor’s eyes were closed, and she was smiling so widely. They’d won that snowball fight…and the many more that came after. She couldn’t say that she was a pro at snowball fights, but she could say that she could make a good snowball.
“It seems like someone’s finally awake.” Clopin said, with a smile. Taylor opened one eye, looking to the gypsy. “Yeah…sort of.” Taylor said, with a yawn. She looked around the table, with a pout.
“So, where’s the food?” Taylor asked, looking to Hiccup. She brushed a hand through her frazzled hair.
Maybe the trip wouldn’t be so bad.

"It's in that cabinet over there." Hiccup replied, pointing toward the kitchen area with one hand. He'd gone to the trouble of making sure all the food he'd packed made it safely into the cabin. It had been difficult, especially in the dark, but the success had at least made Hiccup feel good about himself. "I brought cereal, muffins, some bread for toast, butter, jam, milk... we should be good in terms of breakfast. Don't worry, though. I did bring some stuff for other meals." Hiccup said. He wanted to make sure everything went over well on their trip. They were trying to relax and chase away the winter blues, after all. There was no reason to make themselves worry over nothing.
"Help yourself to anything in the cabinets. Just make sure to clean up afterward." he said. He proceeded to cross over to the kitchen and pulled a chocolate chip muffin for himself out of the cabinet before closing it again. Hungry Viking was hungry, and he didn't care to wait much longer.
Rapunzel turned her attention toward Flynn after a moment. Admittedly, she was glad he had come along. It wouldn't have been the same without him. Even if she had befriended Hiccup during the long ride over. "Good morning, Eugene. We were just discussing what we planned on doing today." Rapunzel said. She couldn't help but call him his real name. She'd become accustomed to it, even if he did prefer Flynn. "It sounds like a snowball fight is in order. Want to be on my team?" Rapunzel asked. A playful sort of look had appeared on her face. If one thing was in her mind more clearly than anything else, it was that she wanted to win that snowball fight.
"Oh! And maybe we could go hiking afterward! What do you guys think?" Rapunzel asked. This time she was directing her question to everyone in the cabin. She wanted to make sure everyone had a say in their activities if they wanted to.

"Rapunzel, did you really think i would turn you down on a snowball fight. Don't be ridiculous." Flynn made a look of mock defeat. "How dare you suggest such a thing. Of course i will join your team." he said giving the red head a pat on the shoulder before heading to join the brunette.
----
Jack looked up at Rapunzel for a moment, gosh she was pretty. Blushing a bit he turned his attention back to some of the other people. Darn it, there were so many girls here. "Uh, yeah, uh hiking...sounds cool."

"Oooh, and the stakes rise," Darren grinned mischievously as Rider mentioned the loser having to do the dishes. "I like your thinking. I'm definitely not losing now."
"Don't count on it, Braveheart," Kyle joked as she brought two bowls of cereal for them both. "I've seen you play baseball in sixth grade. You were the worst pitcher I've ever seen."
"Ahem. We don't talk about that time," Darren said sternly.
"Sorry."
Thankfully Kyle didn't have to say anymore, because two people were making their way down the stairs, one Howard and Bernadette, looking very satisfied with themselves.
"Good morning, folks," Howard greeted them all.
"How is everyone after that long car ride?" Bernadette asked in her squeaky voice.
"Tired," Leonard replied from the kitchen in a deadpan voice.
"Hey, hey, hey! Snowball fight later!" Darren exclaimed to the two of them. "You in?"
"Ooooh," Bernadette squeaked happily, "did you hear them, Howie? Snowball fight!"
"Mmmm. Maybe," Howard replied indifferently, heading toward Leonard into the kitchen. "But right now I'm starving."
"And of course I figure out there's more stuff besides cereal AFTER I've already got breakfast," Leonard grumbled.
"So now I have a muffin and you don't," Howard gloated. "First come, first serve. The world's a bitch, get used to it."
Leonard simply glared at him and ate his dry cereal. "You're getting slaughtered later for that," he growled as Howard turned around.

"Snowball fight?" Ash asked as he entered the scene hearing what everybody else was saying, he never had a snowball fight before, well except with his pokemon that is. "Sounds like fun, sure wish I brought Glaile along, he'd like it here." Ash spoke up referencing the ice pokemon he had caught in Hoenn.
"Snowball fight? Well Sounds like fun to me" Kari also walked in hearing the others. "Sure wish TK and Tai were here, and the others. Well except Davis, he gets annoying at times" Kari went to get breakfast first.

"Snowball...fight?" A french accented voice came from the shadows. The pale, super pale, white skinned in fact, male walked out of the shadows. He was wearing, much to his dismay, not his monk's robes but a pair of jeans and a T-shirt. He hated it, this was strange to him but since Ari had rescued him from that life he'd done whatever he could to please her. And if this pleased her...well he'd do it. "What is this...snowball fight?"
"You throw snow at each other," Ari's voice came from the light, grinning as she walked down the stairs. "Its fun," she said softly, "We're in, Rapunzel. And thanks for inviting us."
"Yes, yes, merci," Silas said softly. He was nervous but Ari was there so he would be fine, right?

Hermione Granger certainly hadn't been late waking up. In fact, she had probably been one of the first awake of the little group, but whether they were on holiday or not, her charms homework had still needed doing, and so it was that that made her one of the last downstairs, slipping her wand into her pocket. It wouldn't do for the muggles here to know they had a witch amongst them, after all. Giving a nod of greeting to the others, still a little preoccupied by the complicated final question on the charms paper she'd been working on, the young witch selected two pieces of bread from the breaskfast cabinet and slipped them into the toaster, as she did so feeling rather grateful for once that Ron wasn't here to make a scene over the muggle artefact. It was only once that process was complete that the girl finally turned to face the rest of the room.
"What was that about a snowball fight?" she asked, giving a slight frown. It wasn't that she entirely disapproved of the idea, but it had been a long time since she'd engaged in any activity of that sort, what with the last few years being taken up by Voldemort's return. Even she had to admit, though, that the idea sounded appealing.
(ooc: For the record, as far as Herman is concerned, this is set the year following Deathly Hallows, since according to the HP wiki, she returned to Hogwarts to finish her NEWTs while Harry and Ron didn't bother)

"Oh, it's no problem. We want everyone to have fun on this trip. It wouldn't be any fun if someone got left out, now would it?" Rapunzel asked. Obviously this was the case. Though the whole trip had initially been Hiccup's idea. How he had managed to get everyone together in the first place was beyond her knowledge. "We should get out there soon. While the snow's still fresh." she said. Of course the snow would probably remain fresh for a while. It wasn't as if it was going to just get trampled upon and destroyed in an instant.
Hearing Hermione, Rapunzel turned to face the other girl and waved a little in greeting. "We just thought it would be fun to start things off with some games in the snow. Mainly... starting with a snowball fight. Would you like to join us too, Hermione?" Rapunzel asked. She did want to include everyone, after all. Rapunzel was sure Hiccup would approve of that as well.
Said redheaded Viking was stuffing his face with his muffin at that point in time, nodding in agreement with the idea of the snowball fight and trying to not look like a completely rude person by talking with his mouth full. Upon swallowing his bite of muffin, Hiccup decided to speak up. "I think once everyone's finished eating then we can get out there and have that snowball fight. From there, we'll decide what else we can do." Hiccup said.

"UGH muffins!? There were muffins too?"
Ingrid groaned softly as she rose to grab a chocolate-chip-muffin. The sleepy, irritated girl sat again, taking a big bite. She was antsy at this point to just get ready, go out, and maybe spend a little time with Benny. That was it.
"Maybe I'll join your snowball fight," she piped. "I'm not too good at it, but maybe. Sounds kind of fun."
Benny however was quietly finishing up his breakfast. The sooner he could finish, the sooner he could embark on his trek up the mountain and to survey the surrounding area. He was as excited as a 5-year-old child on Christmas morning.

Taylor herself strolled over to the cabinet, fetching a blueberry muffin for herself. She would’ve made some eggs, but that would have required some sort of effort that she simply didn’t want to make. As she bit into the muffin, the snowball fight came up again and again, prompting her to stand up and make her own little announcement.
“I’m not too shabby at snowball fights. I’m not all that good at throwing, but I can make a really good snowball, and pretty fast.” Taylor said, extending the hand without the muffin. “So, whoever wants me on their team…have at it.” Taylor said, showing her pointy-toothed smile, before taking a seat.
The punishment wasn’t all that bad either. Taylor’s OCD tendencies were already building up at the sight of crumbs on the floor, and bowls of finished cereal left to sit. Cleaning the dishes would be no issue for her. “Are you joining in on the snowball fight too?” Taylor asked, prodding Benny with a finger.

"Snowball fight?"
A teenage girl approached the group, clear grey eyes jumpping from person to person. She had been watching, observing from the safety of the shadows. She didn't know anyone here so it felt odd for ehr to step out and make herself known.
"C-Can I join?" Emily asked nervously, twisting her fingers.

Soft-spoken male turned his head to face Taylor at the girl's poke. He pondered it for a minute. Was he going to be involved with the snowball fight? He hadn't done anything of the sort in a while...
"It's certainly a possibility. As long as it don't interfere with mah hiking trip, ah might join in."

Jack was the one that recongized Emily, and gave her a smile. "Sure you can! You can be on my team! We will kick all these guys butts!" he grinned a goofy and overconfident grin but he had to admit that it was nice to be around others.
"So then, snowball fight." Flynn said cracking his knuckles.

A small smile spread on Emily's face. She hadn't had a snow ball fight in ages...no since she and James...Emily cut that thought off immediately. Not here. Not now. It was too painful to think about that now. Hopefully though, in the summer she'd be back with her best friend again.
She moved closer to the group and positioned herself beside Jack.
"Ready when you are." she declared, flicking her braid off her shoulder where it rested.

"Well, if everyone is done eating then I think we can get going." Hiccup said. He'd proceeded to finish his muffin while the conversation had gone on and was throwing away his wrapper. Once he'd finished that, he turned to the group that wanted to have their snowball fight. "All right. I'm game for a snowball fight. Just give me a little bit to get prepared, and I'll join you guys outside." he said. Of course, he was referring to getting some warmer clothes on. At that moment all Hiccup was wearing was his usual outfit. Normally that was fine for him, but today he wanted to make sure he was extra warm.
Rapunzel just about jumped for joy when Hiccup confirmed they could go. "This is going to be so great! I'm ready when everyone else is." she said. Of course she wanted to start right away. What fun would it be if they had to wait around forever?
