Sun and Snow all for Show

[Sora Blake]

"Since penguins are pretty darn cute, I'll take that as a compliment..." Sora said, rubbing the thumb of their clasped hand fondly over her own hand. There wasn't much to do anyways since most people were away from the castle doing their own things while they were stuck alone in the castle. The being alone thing was pretty cool in itself except he was prone to fits of boredom since no one was around,

"The sun rising, eh? Sounds good...Got nothing else to do anyways..." he mumbled stifling a yawn.

((1000 posts! Whoot, go me! hahahaha! Okay, I'm done now. lol.))

With her free hand, Brittany had been gathering snow into a little pile. Rolling her eyes at his cuteness comment, she continued to watch the grey clouds in the sky. Since he made no move to get up, she decided that the ground was just fine at the moment. Rolling her pile of snow into a compact ball a bit larger than her fist she thew a glance at Sora out of the corner of her eye. He was letting out a yawn, completely unsuspecting of what she was doing. Raising her arm to exactly a 90 degree angle, she flicked her wrist and sent the ball straight at the top of the boys head.

Disconnecting their hands, she sat up in an attempt to get away before he could retaliate. This would wake the boy up, no doubt. Though he wouldn't hurt her or anything he might be mad so she figured that she might want to get some distance inbetween the two of them. Jumping up to her feet, she started sprinting across the snowy courtyard. Swinging behind a bushy tree that was brilliantly white in color she stopped and hid. This would not be her permanent hiding place because it was too easy to be discovered. But it would be sufficient for the time being, especially since she didn't think that Sora had had time to wipe the snow from his eyes to see where she ran off to.

Peeking around the tips of the white branches slowly, Brittany's eyes swept to the other side of the courtyard to watch what happened next.

[Sora Blake]

Sora was caught off guard with the snowball due to the fact that he was yawning so he was pretty surprised when something cold and wet collided with his already cold face,

"Argh!" he yet out, brushing the wet snow away from his eyes and spat out the coldness that entered his mouth. He quickly looked around for the culprit that was his girlfriend. He quickly spotted her running away from him as he got up. He ran quickly towards her, making great strides to catch up with her. Unfortunately, Lady Luck wasn't on his side as his foot stepped on a bit of ice, causing him to stumbled and fall down, getting a fresh face full of snow. He stood up, wiping the snow away from his face, mumbling about his horrible luck. He quickly looked around, trying to find Brittany. Unfortunately, he couldn't see her.

"...Damn, where'd she get off to?"

[Brittany Garland]

Brittany stiffled a giggle as she watched Sora flop down face first and eat snow. Like she had said, gravity hated him. Even if he was to walk across a flat, straight plane he could find something to trip over, she was almost 100% sure of it. Quickly and quietly, she gathered a mound of snow and rolled it into a ball. As he was searching for her around the Courtyard, she took her aim and shot it at the back of his head. Of course, her aim wasn't perfect so it landed around the top of his back and on his neck. Which was even funnier since the snow would go down his back and melt.

"You'll never catch me!" Brittany called out in a sing songy tone and she could almost hear the low growl in his throat that she knew would come.

With ease, she drifted to the next tree and slid behind a rather large marble statue. The girl had barely ever noticed it before but found it quite convinenient now as she hid behind it. Sora was such a funny character when he was confused and so cute when he gave up. Though she wanted him to pursue her, it gave Brittany more of a challenge. And she liked a good challenge.

[Sora Blake]

"AHH!" Sora shouted loudly, feeling the cold slush drip down his back, seemingly feeling like he was about to freeze himself. He pulled the back of his robes away and shook, hopefully the ice would be shooken off. As the last bits of ice flew away from his now wet back, he looked around, eyes in a sort of perma-glare. He would get Brittany back if it was the last thing he ever did,

"Come out, come out, wherever you are.." he said in a sing-song voice, looking around. He saw movement behind a large stone statue. Like a snake about to strike, he slowly moved towards it, getting ready to evade any snowballs that were thrown at him.

[Brittany Garland]

Brittany was watching through a small peak hole just under the statue's arm. Realizing that she would be caught if she didn't think of something quick, she started to look around. There were plenty of things to do just none that would work. She needed to get away but it was quite difficult to know what to do next. He would expect throwing another snowball and attempting to out run him would not exactly be easy. Unless.....gravity would be her best friend right now.

Bending down, she pulled out her wand. Taking aim through the statue's leg's she sent a tripping spell at Sora's feet. The second it was sent, she was off sprinting around to the next place that she could hide. Finding a bigger, taller tree around near the entrance to the castle where they had first started she decided that would do. Going around the back, she grabbed on to a low branch and propelled her self up. Swinging a leg over the first branch, Brittany kept moving up through the tree until she was sufficiently covered by most of the leaves around her. Pushing a branch down cautiously, she tried to see where Sora had went and what had happened to him.

[Sora Blake]

Sora saw a beam of light coming a mile away. Quickly using his reflexes, he jumped quickly to the right. Unfortunately, the ground was still quite icy and he had jumped into another patch of frozen ice. His luck laughed at him as he slipped once again and was sent to the snowy floor. Luck continued to mock him as the force of his landing sent reverbrations to a nearby tree, which was full of snow from its branches, causing quite a bit of snow to collaspe on him,

"DAMN THAT'S COLD" Sora yelled, standing up as bits of snow sneaked in and touched his bare skin. He furiously brushed it off, shivering slightly.

After he was all clean yet a bit wet from the snow, he quickly ran towards the direction of where Brittany had went. Unfortunately, she was gone. Making sure he wouldn't get caught unaware this time, he drew his wand from the interior of his sleeve, looking around for her.

[Brittany Garland]

((Sorry about that, RL got really busy.))

Brittany hadn't saw Sora slip and fall since she had been climbing the tree. Though she did notice when disappeared for a moment beneath the snow that fell a top of him. Stifling a laugh, she watched him look around the courtyard on top alert now. She knew if she threw another snowball then he would know where she was. So she figured that she would use her wand again. Though when she reached for it inside her heavy jacket, she found only an empty pocket. Panic shot through her. She knew if she lost that wand that she would be dead.

Quickly, she leaned up from the tree and patted her self down. No wand. Great. What was she going to do now? More importantly, where was it? Brittany scanned the grounds where she had just come from intently. She could see no sign any brown. Just white. As she traced her path from the tree to the statue, she spotted it. There, lying just by the corner of the statue it sat snuggled into the snow. Only half of it was in sight and the other half was underneath the white blanket, making it harder to pick out.

Wanting to curse her self for dropping it in her haste, she remembered the game. Swiftly, she spun her head around to see where Sora was.

[Sora Blake]

((it's alright ))

With chattering teeth he looked around to where his girlfriend had gotten off to. He saw movement atop a tree but dismissed it as a sort of squirrel, bird, or another sort of animal. He took a few steps forward as he continued to look for Brittany. He noticed something on the floor and knelt down. It looked some sort of stick or something. He picked it up for a closer look.

It was a wand.

He grinned to himself, standing up as he held the two wands in each hand,

"I have your wand, love!" he yelled out loud, smiling to himself, "I won! You can come out now!"
