Khione's snowy surprise (Part 3 of next gen)

Cleo had fallen asleep a few hours ago and was halfway off the bed and wasn't even covered by a blanket. "Jeez, how does she sleep like that?" Ace asked while peaking through the window.

Gray shoved Ace away from the window so that he could look inside, Harper was behind the two of them and rolled her eyes a bit. "Nevermind that, how could she sleep in that position?"

She awkwardly coughed to get the two's attention. "Alright stop it, we just have to wake her up and show her what's going on. What if it all goes away before she wakes up?"

"How are we gonna get in though? I'm pretty sure the door is locked and we-"

He was interrupted when Gray had jumped through the window and landed into the cabin. The glass shattered into thousands of tiny pieces and landed on the ground next to Harper and Ace.

The window that he had jumped through was right next to the bed Cleo was asleep on, and luckily he didn't fall onto her. And luckily none of the glass that was in the cabin did either.

How in the world did she not even wake up from that? I didn't think she was a heavy sleeper... Ace wondered as he could faintly hear Harper shout-whispering at Gray, though he was too deep in thought to hear what they were saying.

The only things he had managed to hear from the two of them were:

"Gray, what the heck is wrong with you?!" he knew she said something else after that, though he didn't know what.

He wasn't sure if this was exactly right, though he had heard Gray say something like, "Well it at least worked, right? Now come on let's get her."

Harper grabbed Ace's hand while mumbling to herself and walked over to the door. He watched as she managed to open the door and walk inside the cabin, followed by Ace who didn't want to stay out in the cold.

She looked at her somehow sleeping sister and turned to look at Gray, "Oh would you look at that? The door was unlocked the whole time and you broke the window for nothing..." She proceeded to give him a small death-glare.

"Um...oh...come on let's just wake her up!"

The other two were just going to simply shake her awake, though Ace got an idea. "Hold on, I want to see if this actually works or not..."

He grabbed a nearby pen that Cleo luckily had with her for writing in her Diary. Harper rolled her eyes, "Oh come on, seriously? Ace that's..."

He got near the bed where the sleeping Cleo lay, and then he proceeded to drop it right next to her. Within a few seconds, her eyes shot open and she sat up.

He had a large smile on his face as he turned to look at the two, "See? I knew it would work."

She stared at the broken window and then at Gray who was trying to ignore it. Her ears twitched in annoyance as she then asked, "Did you seriously have to do that? That's gonna take a while to fix."

He chuckled awkwardly and then spoke, "Look nevermind that, but have you looked outside yet? It's the middle of June and its sn-"

She cut him off by shushing him with her tail, "It's snowing at a strange time, I know." She started to smile. "And I think I know why this is happening."

"You do?" all three of them happened to ask in unison.

She nodded as she motioned for them to follow her as she quickly ran out of the door. "Where do you think she's taking us?" Gray asked, and the two just shrugged.

Cleo was walking barefoot in the deep snow and wasn't even really wearing something to keep her from getting cold and was only wearing a tank top and shorts.

Ace stared at himself and then at the other two, who were at least wearing jackets and sweaters. That wasn't the best, though he felt at least a little bit warm. How is she not bothered by all of this? Is she even cold?

When they finally reached the area she had been leading them to, that's when they saw who was causing all of the snow. Eros was in the middle of talking to the Goddess of snow, Khione.

Those two weren't the only ones there though, there was another girl about Cleo's age sitting next to Khione. "Koi, how have you been??" Cleo happily ran over to her.

Eros looked at Cleo with a small smile and asked, "Ah, I guess the two of you already know each other?"

"Yep, we do! My mother went to talk with Khione one day and I joined her, then that's when me and Koi ended up meeting."

Eros turned to look at the other three, "Have you been enjoying the snow? Khione and Koi decided to come to visit and let us have a little snow day."

"That's not the only reason," Khione then spoke. "I've finally decided that Koi will be staying here now for some obvious reasons, I'll be leaving soon."

Harper walked over to the demigod and then spoke while extending her hand, "Hi there, it's nice to meet you, My name is-"

She shook her hand and told her with a small smile, "Oh, I already know! Your name is Harper and those two over there are Gray and Ace. Cleo told me a lot about you all."

How come I never knew about this until now? Did she not want to tell me for some reason? Harper thought to herself.

She turned away from the three of them and walked back over to Cleo, who was attempting to try and make a snowball but failing miserably. She tapped her shoulder and then said "Come on, why don't you and I go have some fun?"

Cleo turned to look at her sister and two friends as she waved and then said, "Bye! Why don't we go meet up somewhere in a few hours?"

Harper thought that she had said something else after that, though the two of them had already gotten far away in a matter of seconds. That's a little odd...

Gray started to go back the other way as he then called out, "Come on, while we wait why don't we try to fix the window I broke?"
