"SNOW DAY!!!!!" Kacey screamed at the top of her lungs.
"What?" Kuki yawned as she walked into the living room.
Kacey turned up the TV.
"You heard right!", the weatherman said, "It's Arizona's first snowstorm in 150 years! The roads are packed with 5 inches of snow and it's still coming down! The following schools are closed today: Gallagher Elementary, Sierra Verde Middle School....aw, screw it! All schools in the Glendale, Phoenix, and surrounding areas are closed!"
Kuki cheered and ran down the hallway shouting what Kacey had shouted just a few minutes ago.
Suddenly, Kacey's phone started vibrated like crazy. She took out her phone and noticed it was flooded with texts from Raleigh, David, Megan, Raleigh, Emma, Kiki, and Sarah (also known as Numbuh 743) ...who all texted: "SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!!" (Yes. It's THAT big of a snowstorm. Hitting multiple states all at once. Don't think it's possible? Well, it is NOW!)
Kacey texted back: "You guys wanna come over?"
Her phone was then flooded with several "YES!"es...then her phone died.
"CRAP." she sighed. Then she remembered it was a snow day, and skipped to her room to put on her snow gear.
--------------------------------------------------
"WHEEEEEEE!!!" Raleigh, Megan, Maddy, David, Kuki, Kiki, her brother Chris, and Scooter (who substituted the "WHEEEEEE" with "DOOOOOOOK!") all cheered as they went down a hill in their sleds. All 8 waved to Kacey as they zoomed by.
Kacey waved back and turned to her team of snowball throwers (Val, Sarah, and Emma).
"All right, guys. You know what to do. SHOW NO MERCY!!"
All 4 charged at the other team (Abby, Minerva, Wally, and Hoagie).
Val kept throwing snowballs, but missed horribly (well, she DID hit Wally in the nuts....once). She pouted and whined, "It's not fair! I'm too short...."
Sarah picked the little girl up and put her on her shoulders.
"MUCH better!"
Both "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!"d as loud as they could and charged at the other team.
They surrendered after 15 minutes.
"All right, I'm tired...." Emma said.
"I want some hot chocolate!" Maddy whined.
Kacey looked at her watch. 2:15.
"Good idea. We've been out here since 9. Let's rest for a bit and come out later.
--------------------------------------------------
"HOLY SNOWSTORM." Hoagie shouted from the living room.
"Well, it IS a snowstorm. I wouldn't exactly say it's holy...." David said.
Hoagie rolled his eyes.
"I MEANT: look at the radar."
Kiki and Megan came into the room. The radar was completely covered in white.
"Looks like Arizona's not the only one getting hit by a snowstorm....", the weatherman said, "Much of the west and east coast is getting hammered by snow. The national weather service has issued a blizzard warning for much of the state of Arizona."
"HOLY SNOWSTORM!" Both said.
"Better call your guys' parents." Kacey suggested, "You're not goin' anywhere."
While Kiki and the other visiting operatives did so, there was a knock at the door.
"I got it!" Val said, as she skipped in her "Winter Wonderland" Rainbow Monkey footie pajamas.
The next five words scared the crap out of everyone:
"HI DADDY! HI MINERVA'S DADDY!"
As she continued saying "hi" to everyone in the doorway, Kacey went to investigate (S.P.L.A.N.K.E.R. in hand, of course). Sure enough, everyone Val had named off was standing in the doorway.
Kacey hit the "intruder button" and everyone came into the room. For 5 or so minutes, there was a stand-off.
That is, until Megan asked:
"So........what's up, guys?"
