She kept the slingshot and a bag of marbles in one pocket and a match and fire crackers in another. No one would expect her to shoot at the snow with them, no one but Icarus. He wanted over and held out his hands for them.

“This year it’s fair and square, not ‘Chrystal uses this time as target practice.’ Hand them over now.” He ordered her.

Chrystal took out the match and fire crackers but left the marbles and slingshot in the other pocket.

“Chrystal, hand over everything. I know you have marbles, I can hear them shuffling in your pockets.” Icarus stated.

“Shit…” Chrystal handed over the rest of the stuff and pouted.

Icarus smiled as he walked away. He announced the rules of the snowman building contest, only scarves, gloves and hats you no longer use, sexuail themed snowmen would be knocked over and the builder would be disqualified from the contest. He looked at four members of his guild, Hayner, Anthony, Spencer and Lawrence.

“Also, if I catch any one of you shooting acorns, marbles, pebbles or anything small at the snowmen you’ll be disqualified and forced to clean up the christmas dinner party!” He announced, looking at Chrystal.

Chrystal just stood there, snickering to herself. She had another way to cause a mess at the snowman building contest. Shane just looked at her and waited for Icarus to announce start.

“So, what kind of snowman should we build?” Shane asked once the contest began.

“Oh I was thinking just a very large snowman then we start a snowball fight.” Chrystal joked.

“Evil!” Shane laughed.

The two started to work on making an extremely large base. When Icarus wasn’t looking, Chrystal would chuck a snowball at Lawrence, egging him on to play. She laughed when she got him in the head.

“Nice one, my love.” Shane whispered, being careful to not let everyone know they were together.

“Thanks.” Chrystal smiled as they went back to making the base.

Once the base was done, Chrystal made sure the chest was next. She asked Shane what gender to make the snowman, the two then realized it wouldn’t matter since they were trying to start a snowball fight. Chrystal made the chest and quickly put the black rocks on it like buttons. Shane made a snowball and chucked it at Lawrence who gladly threw one back. Chrystal laughed as Shane dust the snow off of his face.

“He got you good.” Chrystal laughed.

“I think I wanna aim for Icarus’ head.” Shane said.

“Do it when he’s not looking.” Chrystal suggested as she made the head.

“Okay, we’re done with our snowman. What do we do now?” Shane asked, playing the arms on it.

Chrystal gave an evil smile, pointing to Icarus as she lifted off the head. Shane nodded and waved to get Lawrence attenchen. He pointed to their leader, getting a nod back. He and his friends made snowballs and counted down to one when they all threw it at Icarus, everyone getting him in the head. Chrystal ran over to the demon and slammed the head of her snowman onto his head.

“SNOWBALL FIGHT!” Lawrence announced, everyone quickly stopped building snowmen and went to throwing snow at one another.

Icarus just laid in the snow, wondering why everyone was more willing to fight than to build. He looked up at Samara, who was laughing at her. She pointed to Chrystal, laughing at him. He got up and grabbed the head off of a snowman and went after Chrystal, wanting revenge for the snowman head in the face.

“You’re so grounded young lady!” He announced to Chrystal.

“Not if you don’t catch me, old man!” Chrystal joked as she ran away.

Samara just stood back and watched the chaos ensue, she didn’t know who to blame but she just wished that for once they would have a snowman building contest where it doesn’t end in snow everywhere. She shook her head and joined in, accepting that maybe they shouldn’t have snowman building contest anymore.

One snowman survived the great Vigila snowball war, the one that Garrett and Leia made. Once the fight ended the guild got around the snowman and took a group picture.
