On the edge of the Northern fields, nearest a grove of small trees, Allegra stood, bundled up in more winter clothing than was probably necessary. The extra layers kept the California native warm enough, but made throwing snowballs almost impossible.
Yet, that's what she was doing. As best she could, she would pick a snowball from the pile she had made. She would give it a fianl pat down before tossing it towards the nearest tree, jumping a little when it made contact with the trunk.

"Watch it," Lily said, peaking out from behind the tree. "You're gonna nail me if you aren't careful." Lily hadn't really talked to Allegra in a while, well she had but Laura had been there too, and Lily didn't know how Allegra thought of her of what Allegra felt towards her.

"Oh! Sorry Lily!" Allegra answered, so surprised at the appearance of the younger girl that she dropped the snowball she had been about to throw. "What are you doing hiding over there anyway?"

"Looking at the snow," Lily said. "Wishing I owned a camera. Everything covered in snow is gorgeous. I'm trying to get it to stick in my mind."

"And a snowball on the side of the head wouldn't do that, huh?" Allegra asked before realizing that Lily might not get... or appreciate the teasing. The girls had started off with a bit of tension between them and had progressed so that they were now on friendly terms, but probably wouldn't be classified as friends jet. Allegra wasn't sure the joking would be appreciated. "I'm sorry... I was just kidding," she said, just to make sure.

Lily nodded. "That's alright I understand." She turned back to lean against the tree where she was. "It's just so amazing."

"You grew up with snowy winters, didn't you?" Allegra asked. Meanwhile, she enjoyed the stuff for a while, but really missed the palm trees dressed in twinkle lights that lined Venice Beach back home.

Lily nodded. "I did," she answered. "But I still wonder about snow everytime I see it."

"It's the ocean for me," Allegra said, smiling at Lily. "I see it every day when I'm at home, but it always takes my breath away."

"I've never been to an ocean before," Lily said. "Different various rivers, but never the ocean."

"Well, you will when you come and visit, won't you," Allegra answered, smiling slightly. Drew had already told her that he had invited Lily for the vacation.

Lily nodded. "Of course," she said. "I'm looking forward to it. I'm excited to see California. I tried to ask Drew to tell me about it, but all he could tell me was it's warm."

"Most of the time," Allegra answered, thinking her brother was the king of the understatement. "And it's usually sunny, even in the winter. Mostly, it's an attitude. It's big city place like New York, but most people are a lot more laid back."

"I've never been to New York either," Lily said with a bit of a laugh. "I've never been anywhere in the United States."

"Then we'll have to show you the sights," Allegra answered with a grin before realizing she might not be welcome. "Well, at least Drew will."
