Meli tackled Molly to the snow and kissed her. Sammie rolled his eyes, then found himself flat on his back with Del on his chest. She giggled and kissed his nose, then jumped up and shoved Aster toward him. Aster looked nervous.
Daisy picked Aster up and dropped her on Sammie. Sammie's breath 'whooshed' out of him, but he smiled up at Aster just the same. Gently, he pulled her down and kissed her.
There were cheers and whistles from the others, then Meli, Molly and Del exchanged glances and scooped up snowballs, pelting Aster and Sammie. And the war was on.
