Snow Day/Short Story

Chapter 57: Snow Day: Short Story

(Three Days after Death Wish)

Bini Filters's POV

-----

Micheal, Sarah, Mollie and I trudged up a big hill, fighting the cold biting wind of the planet as we hurried through the deep snow. Each of us dragging a sled behind us.

A small Kazon ship attacked Voyager, causing enough damage so that we needed to set down and repair. The Captain picked a winter planet of all places and sent the four of us outside for "fun."

"Do you think the Captain has ever had..."Fun?" I asked to the other two, on either side of me facing the same struggles.

"I think...Mo-Mommy didn't know that the weather was this bad!" Micheal replied, his voice was slightly muffled by the scarf covering the lower half of his face.

"Mommy made mistake..." Sarah mumbled as we continued up, almost to the top.

"Maybe we should just beam back to the ship-" Micheal started.

"Can't do that. The Captain would ground me." I interupted.

"That is stupid!"

"It's life." I corrected.

"Why is it taking so long for us to climb up this hill?" Micheal snapped out. Keeping a firm grip on Mollie, who was also bundled up.

"We have been walking up this hill for two hours actually." I corrected. "It could be worse."

"Two hours?" Micheal repeated in disbelief. "Is this a hill or a mountain?!"

"A Hill. The mountains are much bigger on this world than Earth. That's why I said, it could be worse."

"Enough!" Micheal barked. Stopping in his tracks and turning around to glare at me. "Give me your com badge!"

"You have lived in Indiana, Bloomington! How are you this weak about cold weather?" I demanded.

"Because Bloomington wasn't this cold!"

"Micheal, we are almost there!" I snapped. Pointing to the top of the hill. Just meters away. "Stop arguing and move it!"

"Uggghhhh, I want hot Chocolate!"

Yeah, me too.

"Biinnniiii, I cold!"

No, really, Sarah!?

"Biinniii, I want to got inside! We are going to die!" Micheal continued to complain as we made our way closer to the top.

"Quit complaining! The slide down will be worth it!" I argued.

"I will complain until we are inside!" Micheal bite back.

"I am about 3 seconds from pushing you down this hill!"

"Mountain!"

"Hill!"

"Mountain!"

"Whatever!"

We reached the top of the hill. Sarah and Micheal clambered down on their sled. Preparing themselves for the journey down. I, of course, had better ideas.

I leaned forward and gently pushed them. Causing the two to go sliding down, Micheal actually yelled "OH, F*** YOU, BINI!" on the way down. Boy, I swear too much around those kids. I fell to the ground on my sled laughing hard, so much that tears were coming out of my eyes as I sat in hysterics. Suddenly I felt myself sliding and before I knew it, karma hit me.

I was flying past Micheal and Sarah! Screaming as I went down the hill. Hearing screams turn into laughter.
