It's two in the afternoon on a snowy December day, and it would have been a peaceful time to go walking through the large clearing that separated the Wood's, the Black's and the Dawson's. It's slightly snowing, adding more the effect that this area is some sort of winter wonderland. Sounds quaint, doesn't it? Don't you just want to walk across there and just drift away into your own thoughts and daydreams, not worrying about anything else?

Yeah, well, you're not going to get that. Sorry. Blame Felicity Wood and her friend, Xavier Dawson. The two of them, at that moment, are ~~chasing each other like goons~~ racing, on horseback (naturally) across that lovely clearing. Complete with yelling and shouted 'threats'. Both are bareback, with only bridles on their horses and, through Xavier's bright idea, wearing cowboy hats. Who knows why, he just found them in his attic and decided they'd be fun to wear.

Finally, it's Xav who crosses the 'finish line', that would be the fence post that starts the end of one of the Black's paddocks. He slows Spike down to a canter, turning him around so that Xav can grin mockingly at Felicity.

"Told you I'd win!" he says to her, earning him a scowl from her as she slows Chester down as well.

"I totally would have won if this stupid cowboy hat wasn't falling in my eyes, you know." she says. Then, to be 'professional' about her loss, she adds, "Besides, Chester doesn't like the snow." There, all better!

"Whatever. You just can't admit that I just happen to be, oh, let's see, better than you. Dork" Xav retorts. Felicity snorts and, being oh so mature, scopes up a hand of snow from the paddock railing and pelts it at him.

"No, Xav, you're the dork!" she teases. Oh, dear. Can't you just see a snowball fight coming forth here? Sigh. Well, so much for a peaceful afternoon.
