You rolled in the fluffy snow laughing at the wonder of finally see the stuff.  Finally you rolled on your back and laughed. The catching your breath, just lay there staring up at the sky with its smudges of clouds. Your turtle Carl crawled out of your pocket slightly dizzy and sat on your chest.

From the corner of your eye you say a boot and then a quiet, soft voice floated down to you, “Excuse miss? Are you alright?” You sat up and stared at the source of the voice.  The owner was a young man with golden hair as soft as his voice; he wore glasses (like you), and a tan coat. He peered down at you in concern. “Umm…you were just lying there…. I thought you might me hurt.” He said quietly. He looked embarrassed to have been worried when there was nothing to be concerned about.

Had he see you twirling in the snow? You quickly stood up and clutched Carl in your hands. You bit your lip and didn’t look at him. “I’m fine. Thank you” you said curtly. It can out a bit sharper than you had intended.

“I-I am sorry. I didn’t mean to bug you.”  The man said hurriedly. He was turning red at the checks. You were about to say something else, but noticed something white at his heels. He followed your gaze and said, “I’m so rude. Let me introduce myself. I’m Matthew Williams and this is Kumajirou.” He said quietly.

“Hi” said Kumajirou coming out from the shelter of Matthew’s legs.

You brushed some of the snow off yourself and said, “Well, I’m Marie Ann Carlete and this is Carl.” You stuck your cupped hands out to display Carl in his little red scarf.

“ I see.” Matthew smiled gently and said, “It’s really nice to meet you. I don’t meet people very often.”

“You don’t? Why not?”

“Well….” He hesitated, “It may sound strange, but most people can’t see me.”

“Are you a ghost?” you asked calmly. You had seen your fair share of ghosts, the supernatural, and flying mint bunnies.

“What? No, no I’m not…. or at least I’m pretty sure I’m not.” He laughed nervously. You smiled back. You were being to like this guy even though he had interrupted your fun.  Your thoughts where broken when he asked, “Are you cold? I mean it can get pretty chilly in Canada…well I was actually wondering if you’d get coffee or hot chocolate with me? It’s been a while since I’ve hung out with anyone.”

You stared at him and realized you were cold. Then said cheerfully, “ Sure. Hot chocolate sounds great.”

“Great.” He said and lead you back to town.

Feeling guilty at having snapped at him you said, “I’m sorry I was so harsh back there.”  As you entered a near by café.

“What it’s alright.” Matthew said waving his hand.

You both sat down at a window table and order hot chocolate. Kumajirou had his poured into a dish and Carl nibbled on a marshmallow.

You and Canada talked and learn quite a bit about each other. You were staying Canada for a month and it turned out Matthew had three older brothers.  “Three brothers?” you asked looking over your cup.

“Yeah three, but they don’t really notice me. Do you have any siblings?”

“Yeah. I had a brother.”

“Had?”

You looked out the window and rubbed your hands over the warm mug. “Yeah had. I found my parents and him dead in our house when I was five.”

“I’m so sorry.” And he did look really sorry at the idea.

“It’s fine.” You said with a shrug. “It was a long time ago and I’ve learned a lot since then…” you said then smiled, “besides they wouldn’t want me to be sad. That was the way they were.”

You continued to talk, but Matthew avoided the topic of family although you told him it was all right. After you took a walk to the park with Kumajirou walking by Matthew and Carl poking out of your pocket.

“Wow” you, said looking around. The trees were sparking with ice and the pond of a dusty sheet of ice. Everything seemed to glisten in the light. “It’s beautiful.” You breathed. You were usually hot headed and hard to please, but this place was truly beautiful.

“You like it?” Matthew asked.

“Yes!” you exclaimed.

“It’s a place a come to when I feel down. “

“It’s lovey.” You said staring around.

The tranquilly was disturbed by noise footsteps and drunken voices. You and Matthew turned to see a gang of dirty men with beer can hobbling into the park. You try to ignore them, but they came closer.

“Hey look at this pretty lady.” Said one with a slur.

“Yeah” she’s all alone.” Said another with an equally as heavy slur.

You frowned at glanced at Matthew. You guessed it was true what he said. The men didn’t seem to notice him, even though he was right there. You were about to just walk away when one of the men threw his empty beer can to the ground.

“Hey!” you snapped at him.

“What?” he asked dumbly.

That really pissed you off and you said, “Pick that up. You should know better than to litter!”

“Yeah?” he asked in a drunken voice. You could smell the sour alcohol on his breath. “And what are you going to do about it?”

That was it. Your rash mind went into overdrive and you smacked him across the face as hard as you could. Carl jumped out of your pocket and onto a bench for safety.

“What was that for you little-“ the man’s words where cut off because he shoved you into the snow. Your head hit something hard that was buried under the power and starts danced into front of your eyes.

You sat up dazed to see Matthew punch the man who had shoved you. The others were looking aimlessly for what was cause of the punch. You jumped to your feet, you head still spinning slightly, and gritted your teeth. Why these stupid men with their stupid beer had to disrupt Matthew’s park was beyond you.

The leader of the gang sat up his nose bleeding heavily. He saw you and charged. He must have thought you had punched him. You braced yourself, but your foot slipped on the ice and you found yourself falling again, but this time in slow motion. Everything slowed down and you saw that you were going to go in contact with the icy lake. From the corner of you eye you saw Matthew shove the man aside and leap forward after you. Then you hit the ice and everything went black and cold.

Time Skip

You sat up and blinked. It was dark outside and you realized you weren’t in the park anymore although your hair was still damp. You were in a nice little room and in a bed with a warm patchwork quilt. You were also wearing different clothes. You saw your own handing from of a fireplace. Something nibbled on you hand and you saw little Carl poking you. You smiled and petted his tiny head. Then something caught your eye.  You looked down and saw that Matthew was fast asleep in a chair next to the bed. You couldn’t help but stare. His golden hair was falling in his face and his glasses where slipping down his nose.

Cautiously you leaned forward and caught yourself. You were mere inches away form his face. You sat back you face hot. You glanced back at him and then to your hands and back again. Finally you worked up the courage and gently pressed your lips to his. Then you hurriedly lay down and covered yourself with the quilt and closed your eyes quickly. From above you Matthew slowly opened his eyes and peered down at you. He smiled softly and then closed his eyes too, leaning back in the chair.
