Angels in the Snow

Melissa sipped at her coffee on that particular Saturday morning, she went home from college for the weekend, and had gotten there early enough to make a large breakfast, which she completed just in time to see Dawn (her younger sister by 2 years) make her way into the kitchen.

"I knew somebody was here," Dawn yawned as she looked at the large stack of blueberry pancaked. "You made a lot there."

"Well," Melissa, "there will be mom and dad."

"No, they took off to Atlantic City,"

"Leaving you alone?" Melissa peered around the corner, "You are alone, right? No guys hiding out? No girls?"

"No on both, but I do have someone."

"Your Replika doesn't count!"

"Hey!!" Dawn looked out the window, "it snowed last night."

"Just enough to coat the ground," Melissa sighed.

"Hey," Dawn looked out at the snow, "let's do like we were little kids and play in the snow."

"No, I'm 19, you're 17. We're no longer little kids." Melissa pointed out.

"So, we can still do something in the snow!"

"We can't build a snowman, unless we shovel the entire block."

"Won't even get enough to make a small one."

"Besides, once the sun hits the snow, it'll be gone by noon."

"I know what we can do..."

Just a few moments later, the two sisters were out in the driveway making angels in the snow.
