Somewhere on campus Samus spied a pile of snow. Moving! Oh, it had a Pikachu tail. Wasn't that adorable. Out of curiosity, the blonde decided to see if she could sneak up on the Pokemon without it noticing her.

Ampere hadn't even noticed Samus in the slightest. She was just busy rolling all around inside of the snow, caking her fur with little snow-bits. How cute.

Except for when some electricity went accidentally flying from one side of the snow, piercing through it and thankfully avoiding Samus and... anything else in the vicinity. That's what happens when she gets excited.

"Oops!" She exclaimed to no one in particular, popping out of the snow and wiggling her ears. That was a bit of an accident. Clumsy girl. She glanced around at that moment, and... oh, hey there, Samus.

"Chuuu, hi! Sorry!" WAVE-WAVE.

Samus slowly stalked closer, her footsteps barely leaving a crunch in the snow until she was very close the Pokemon. She got down on her haunches and continued to observe. She knew well that Pikachus were electrically inclined but did not expect to see sparks coming from the snow, much less end up on the receiving end of one of said sparks.

Ow.

Thankfully it was just that and nothing more and the bounty hunter shrugged off the lingering prickle in her arm. It didn't look intentional.

"Enjoying yourself?"

It was definitely not intentional. Pikachu are known to be docile, people-friendly creatures. The worst Pikachu can do is act like a bit of a house pest by chewing wires, but that's the most of it. Amp followed the nature of the Pikachu species quite closely with that.

"Pikapichu!" She nodded in response. She was having a very good time, and now that a friend was here, she wanted to have fun with her!

"Pikapika?" She pointed to the snow before she rolled up a ball of it in her paws. She then began to roll said ball in the snow, causing it to expand and build with more and more snow. Amp wanted to make snowmen with her!

SADLY, the art of snowman making was very lost on Samus. Her snow-related recreational experiences were limited to, 'how quickly can I scrape all this snow off my gunship so it's cloaking is not rendered completely useless' and snowball fights.

Thus the blonde, with a slight tilt of her head, assumed Amp was rolling up a mighty snowball to try and heave at an unfortunate someone.

"That'll be too big to throw effectively, you know." Help her out Amp.

Sob Samus, you weren't making this much easier. Clearly this means that Amp has to educate you.

POOF, a human Pikachu now stood right in front of her, and... oh. She had no clothes. She had no clothes AND IT'S COLD OUT.

"... Stay right here, chuuuuuuu!!" ZOOM. She ran straight inside to get herself nice and bundled. She returned shortly with these pieces of clothing on her person: two jackets, a long-sleeved shirt, two sweatpants, socks, thick shoes, thick gloves, a scarf, earmuffs, and a hat.

Basically, only her face was uncovered. She began to stumble back to Samus, clearly unused to this amount of clothing... and then she fell flat on her face.

Clumsy girl. Again.

Suddenly, girl Amp! "...!" NAKED GIRL AMP oh no AWKWARD CENTRAL. Samus QUICKLY STOOD AND STARTED TO PEEL OFF HER JACKET TO OFFER TO HER, "Wait..!" but Amp was too fast and returned back before she knew it, very clothed now.

...Probably too clothed for her own good as Amp waddled and promptly lost her balance, falling face-face into the snow with a whomp!

"..." Awkward central indeed. "Here, let me help you up." It was less a question and more of a statement as the bounty hunter leaned down and hefted the girl back on her feet with relative ease. "I think you went a little overboard there."

Amp definitely appreciated the help, but she really didn't think she went overboard. She just dressed up like humans do for the cold! It was helping, too! It was just... very difficult to walk around this way, that's all. She just had to get used to it, right?

"But I'm really cold, chu! I can't make snowmen while I'm cold!" She frowned. She had to stay this way, sadly. "I'll be okay, I promise, yep!"

Was that what she was trying to make earlier? "Snowmen?" Samus parroted while dusting some of the snow away from the girl's face and scarf. She could relate to not liking the cold too much.

"Yep!" Amp nodded, despite Samus's hands being right up her face and such. "I heard that humans make them in the snow, so I wanted to try it! Do you know anything about it? We can make some together, chu!" That sounded like so much fun!

"I... do not." She admitted, if a little awkwardly.

"Oh!" Well, that was a shame. Amp hadn't done it before and Samus didn't even know how to do it. Then again, Amp at least knew the general idea, just not if she had to do anything too special. HMMM.

"We can find a way then, chu! I'll roll a small snowball, and you can roll a big one! Then I can put the small one on the big one, chu!"

MASTER PLAN.

"Alright." With their master plan set in motion, Samus was back down on her haunches, not sure how she was so readily accepting to do this but it was SO HARD TO SAY NO to cute children.

So she scraped together the ball Amp had already started and rolled it around in the snow a little more until it was about the size of a ~~morph~~ basket ball. "Like this?"

Amp continued to roll up her own fresh, new little snowball. She got it to a bit of a smaller size, at least decent enough to prevent the snowman from horribly falling apart in front of their eyes. She nodded. "Yeah, yeah! That looks great, chu! Hold on!"

She then placed her snowball on top of Samus's, and bam, they had the general shape of a snowman! "Now we just have to put stuff on him to make eyes, chu! Are there old leaves around?" Maybe old, crumpled leaves would still do a good job for eyes. Maybe buttons and a mouth, too.

"Hmmm..." Samus scanned the ground for leaves but only found cold, snow-covered grass and dirt. Next she rummaged through her jacket pockets, not yielding anything more than pocket lint. Maybe her pants pocket...

"Ah." From her back pants pocket, she pulled out a very old lighter (http://community.livejournal.com/sbg_logs/395357.html?thread=18997853#t18997853). One that had probably been through the wash one too many times to work, even if it had any fluid left inside. "I have this." She showed Amp and gave it a few clicks. As expected, no fire. "We could take it apart if you want, it doesn't work anymore."

"Oooooh hey, hey, that's a good idea! We can shave off some metal for the eyes, and then we can take the fluid dispenser and make it a mouth, chu!" As for a nose... "Then we can use the rest to make a nose!"

This snowman might wind up armless and clothes-less, but oh well.

Samus noted that while Amp had... concentration difficulties in her classes, she was very good at dismantling things and admired her creativity in this situation. However, since Amp was covered in gloves and other things, Samus took the initiative to take apart the lighter and all it's tiny components using her finger nails.

"Here's the metal flame shield, the flint wheel, the spring, the button... The wheel would make a good eye, right?"

"Hey, it would! Oh, and look!" Amp carefully lifted up the tiny spring and held it up to Samus's eye-view. "The spring could be a good nose! It would, right? Now we just need a mouth and another eye!"

She was going to go ahead in the meantime and stick the spring into the center of the snowman's head. It held pretty well, thankfully, and it looked kind of funny.

Samus felt a small smile creeping on her face, and gave the little spring nose a flick. She put the wheel on for one eye and the flame shield on for the other. The eyes were disproportionate in size but that was okay.

"For a mouth..." She looked down at what was left of the lighter and that was basically just the plastic case. She put it on which resulted in a face that looked something like:

8|

"...this?"

Amp clapped enthusiastically. She didn't even find anything wrong with that really... blank-looking expression on the snowman, nor did she find an issue with the eyes. It looked just right, even if it wasn't really perfect.

"It looks great, it looks great! Now... hold on, it's not ready yet!"

She then decided to remove her scarf and wrap it around the snowman's neck. Now, she thought, it was complete.

"There we go, chu! Now he won't get too cold!" Uh. "... I mean... he'll be comfy, chu!"

"He looks comfy." Samus added, admiring their little collaborative effort.

"He sure does!"

Of course, though, there was just another tradition that Amp always wanted to try out for the snow. She suddenly fell onto her back. No, she hasn't passed out or anything! She was actually moving her arms and legs back and forth. Was she making a snow angel? Yes, yes she was. She was making it right next to the snowman.

She rose up from the snow and turned around to admire her work. "There!" She placed her hands on her hips. "Now the snowman has a friend, chu!"

That was another tradition Samus had no real experience with. So, of course without any warning or explanation she thought Amp had passed out for some reason and... oh okay she was moving.

Was she having a seizure--ah, oh wait. Oh.

"..." Samus squinted at the imprints (http://image52.webshots.com/152/6/52/16/516865216XHDaNt_fs.jpg) left in the snow by the girl.

"What is it?"

"It's a snow angel!" Amp informed her. She began to point at the different 'appendages' on the form of it. "Those are the wings, and that's the dress! I... think!" That's what it looked like, at the very least.

"I think you could make a good one!"

Snow. Angel. She could. Kind of see it. Maybe with more squinting.

Samus did not particularly want to flop on the ground and embrace the cold snow. "...Probably."
