The cold air blew in and snow began to fall one chilly afternoon on the planet known as Terrah. Benedict, a white and yellow Terralien with a jellyfish in his visor tank, was cooking up some lunch when he noticed the snow out his window. He was surprised but overjoyed, his tail wagging as his goopy skin dripped onto the floor. He quickly finished up the grilled cheese he had been cooking and walked over to the window to admire the view. It was really coming down! And it was so fluffy! It was perfect! He and his friends had made a promise that they would all hang out on the day of the first snowfall. They all loved snow, afterall. Benedict grabbed a paper bag, stuffing his grilled cheese inside it, grabbing a scarf that he quickly threw around his neck and headed out without haste.

The chilly air made him shiver as it blew into his face and he headed out to his first friend’s house. They’d surely be waiting for him to come by. The snow had already covered the ground at this point too. It didn’t take him long to arrive, grilled cheese in one hand and the other knocking on his friend's door.

“Ramune! I hope you’re excited! It’s snowing!” Benedict told them as they excitedly answered the door. Ramune was a bit smaller than Benedict and was blue in color. They had a visor filled with Ramune and a shark. They were also able to summon holograms and even change color! Benedict always loved seeing Ramune change to the color pink.

The blue Terralien looked toward Benedict and gave a nod. “Of course I’m excited Benny! We’re gonna go get Axolotl too, right?” They asked him.

Benedict nodded. “Yeah! Let’s head there next, I’m sure he’s also super excited, honestly, he might even be making his way over here now. You know how he is!” He said and Ramune gave a small laugh at the comment.

“Okay, let’s go then!” Ramune said enthusiastically.

The snow was falling down even more than before as the duo made their way over to their other friend, Axolotl’s, house. However, halfway there, they spotted a familiar pink Terralien running amok in the snow. He seemed to be having a good time.

“Told you we’d run into him” Benedict said to Ramune.

“I didn’t doubt we would” They said and then looked to Axolotl. “Hey! Axolotl! Me and Benny are here!” they yelled to him. When they did, the pink Terralien stopped in his tracks, so abruptly that he almost fell forward onto his visor tank! Thankfully though, he caught his balance and waltzed over to his two friends.

“Hey guys! I didn’t see you! Sorry, I was heading over to Ramune’s but got distracted by the snow” He apologized.

“No worries Axo, besides, we’re here to have fun anyway! You bought the hot chocolate for after right?” Benedict asked him and received and enthusiastic nod from the smallest of the three.

“Of course! I’d never forget something so important! Anyway, come check out this cool igloo I started making, you guys should help me come finish it!” He told them, and already started running off through the snow back towards his house.

The now trio of Terraliens walked into Axolotl’s yard, and, like he had said, he had started building an igloo. It was a pretty big one too, though it was on the base of it. Axo threw himself in the snow, starting to form a block of snow with his paws. “Come on, we can all start stacking these around to make the igloo!” He told them and both Ramune and Benedict joined him, making blocks of snow and forming them into an igloo. Together they were able to build a huge igloo together, and by the time they finished, it was already starting to get dark.

“Darn, I think we should head inside for that cocoa now…” Ramine said and looked at Axo who gave a reluctant nod.

“Don’t worry, we can always play more tomorrow Axo!” Benny told his friend “I don’t think the snow is going anywhere!” he joked and got a laugh out of the pink Terralien who then stood up out of the snow.

“Alright, hot cocoa time it is then!”
