jaebilityJigane stood transfixed on her little deck, her eyes wide and watering in the cold. The most amazing thing was happening, snowflakes, little white stars, were falling from heaven! Never had she seen such a sight, first she feared that heaven had exploded and the small spots were the remnents of it crashing down to earth and then she hoped that maybe it was confetti that Seraph was throwing. Whatever it was, it was absotuely awesome. It only made sense, then, to call everyone she knew to tell them of this miracle.
Kimi's excitement was negative. "It's snow, Ji-san. It happens every winter."
Rumi was slightly more amazed, but significantly less than the angel. "Did you grow up in the tropics? The first snow is always the best... I'll be sick of it come February."
When Ro came on the line, Jigane found someone to share in her enthusiasm. "Bundle up," he commanded, "Let's go make snow angels."
It was this activity that perhaps intrigued her the most, even more than the falling snow. Snow angels? Her heart pitter-patted with a thrill unfamillar to her; had he found out her secret? Did he know other angels? Jigane worried and wondered as she dressed. First came the knee-high socks, then her thick green pants, then her comfy boots. She wore two teeshirts and layed those with a sweatshirt before zippering up her jacket. Gloves, kitty hat, rainbow scraf, and she was ready.
Ro laughed and poked at the puffy ball with legs. He could barely see her eyes peering out, but he praised her for dressing warmly. She could barely see, what with her hat pulled so far down, so he took her by the hand and led her out into winter.
It took a while to find a haven of undisturbed snow. The sidewalks and streets were continuously being plowed and people with lawns refused to let the two play in their private snow. Finally Ro and Ji found a spot and to celebrate Ro fell backwards onto it. Ji stared in confused awe.
First her splayed his legs. And then he pulled them together again. And then, this got stranger and stranger by the moment, he swooshed his arms back and forth. He jumped back up and pointed with pride. "Look how wellit turned out! Hold on, I need to make a halo."
The result was an indent shaped like a person wearing a dress with wide sleaves. This was it? Jigane raised an eyebrow. "It's... lovely."
"I've always liked making snow angels," Ro confessed shyly, "I guess I need to grow up." He looked at his masterpiece again and frowned, his cold, blue-tinted lips pouting. "It doesn't really look like an angel, but you get the picture."
Funny, two angels right in front of him and he only recognized the fake.
