Bdubs awoke early in the morning to his phone chiming. Deciding it was too early, he rolled over and went back to sleep. But curiosity killed the cat, right? Curiosity killed Bdubs too. He couldn't stand not checking his device knowing there was a notification, he rolled over and looked. The mycelium man himself had been spamming him.

Grian to BdoubleO100: <Hey! It's the first of December!>

<Wanna do something?>

<Let's go play in the snow!>

<You could being the HIP and I'll bring the Mushroomteers!>

<Bdubs!>

<Wake up!>

<I'll come over there myself!>

<STOP SLEEPING AND COME PLAY IN THE SNOW WITH ME!>

BdoubleO100 to Grian: <hold on>

Grian to BdoubleO100:<did I wake you up?>

BdoubleO100 to Grian:<Yes you did!>

Grian to BdoubleO100:<Good, now will you gather the HIP please?>

BdoubleO100:<HEP! Emergency meeting! The Mycelium men have called a ceasefire!>

Jevin:<We did?>

Xisuma:<They did?>

RentheDog:<when did that happen?>

Grian:<Just now! HIP, any of your members that are still asleep need to be woken up! Resistances members, any of us need to be woken up too! Dress warm and meet in the shopping district!>

BdoubleO100:<you don't command them! I do!>

<HEP! Wake up other sleeping members and dress warm! Meet everyone in the SD>

After about an hour of waiting, both the resistance and the HEP were chatting in the middle of the shopping district. They were trying not to think about how hot they were standing in the middle of a spring biome in winter clothes. After a while, Bdubs showed up.

"Alrighty everyone! Now that you're all here-"

"Grian isn't here," Ren pointed out.

"Don't interrupt me shroom man! Now that we're all here, Grian and I have a fun activity out in the snow biome!" Smiles and excited chatter bloomed as everyone dug through an ender chest for an Elytra. Equipping it in record time, the HEP were the first off the ground and flying in the direction Bdubs was leading them. Though the Mushroomteers weren't far behind.

"How do you guys move so fast and in unison?" Stress had caught up to False and they were chatting.

"It's training I guess. They keep us pretty swift incase you guys ever raid us," False smiled at the shocked face on Stress.

"That's...really smart! I'll have to tell Hrian about that eventually."

They talked for a while after and eventually Bdubs brought everyone down to a strange course in the snow. It looked similar to an arena, just made out of snow.

"Here we are! We've come to play in the snow!" Bdubs smiled. A few laughs rung through the group before a voice echoed through the air.

"It's December first!" It was the gremlin himself, but no one could pinpoint where he was. "Let's have some fun!" A snowball was flung through the air and hit Scar on the shoulder.

Bdubs made a run for a hiding spot as he shouted, "Three hits and your out!"

"Resistance, attack!" Doc shouted as he picked up some snow. Everyone doing the same. Scar hid behind a wall with Bdubs. Xb and Etho were behind a wall opposite to them, gathering snowballs to launch at the two HEP leaders. Stress was out almost immidietly and started building a snow fort off to the side, Impulse helping her. False was hunting Grian down, Grian was trying not to be seen by False. Keralis had started helping with the snow for at some point, and was now shouting to X to come help aswell.

Bdubs had thrown a snowball, missed, and was now screeching as Etho and Xb pelted the two leaders with snow.

"Scar! Scar help me! Oh mighty Scar please!"

"I can't do anything either! They're after both of us!" Bdubs made a run for a different wall, sliding behind it and coming face to face with the gremlin himself. "Aah! Grian!?"

"It was all planned," He laughed as he plopped a handful of snow on Bdubs' head.

"Aww! That's three!" Bdubs put on a dramatic pout as he walked over the the ice fort crew, Etho taking this opportunity to throw one last snowball.

That left False, Scar, Tango, Cub and Mumbo on the HEP side. Grian Jevin, Etho, Xb, and Doc on the Resistance. Tango, Mumbo, and Cub haven't been seen since the fight started. Doc hasn't been seen since he declared war either. Though with how many people were out, it was assumed they had found a good hiding spot.

A screech came from False, and everyone looked to see she had snow sliding down her coat. Grian wasn't far with a triumphant smile on his face. "Is that three?" A quick three snowballs flew from an outer edge wall, hitting Grian in the back.

"Is that three?" Mumbo mocked from behind the wall with Tango and Cub. Grian fell with dramatic sound effects of dying. False laughed as she walked off to join the building of the snow fort. Which looked to be almost done by now too.

Doc was soon found aswell when Mr. Goodtimes was taken out by two correctly placed snowballs. Now it was the best players among them, and Jevin.

"Ay! Mumbo! Wanna come here for a second?" Xb called over his wall of hiding.

"Do you wanna come here?" Tango questioned.

"I'd rather not, but if I have too.." a snowball was thrown Tango's direction, earning a startled gasp as the cold snow came in contact with his face.

Victorious laughs came from Etho and Xb as they high-fived eachother. Cub decided to end the celebration early by launch a snowball at them. It didn't hit the intended mark, but the wall instead.

"You couldn't even hit me if you tried!" Etho stood up, walking to the middle of the arena. "Go ahead, try."

This prompted Tango to pop up and throw a snowball to earn revenge. Etho moved last second, and I stead it hit the ground behind him. Another snowball was thrown, but this one belonged to Doc and it hit it's mark.

"You shouldn't stand out in the open unless your a ninja," Doc taunted the winged fire elemental know as Tango.

"Wha- but! I had too! How am I supposed-" he was quickly silenced by another snowball to the face. This one thrown by Xb.

"That's three! You're out!" Xb shouted over the wall, but soon had an angry snowball launched at him by the nether man he just outed.

"This is ridiculous! I don't like this tactic you're using!" He pouted as he walked across the white grass to the ever expanding ice palace.

"Watch out!" Jevin shouted as he threw two snowballs. One hitting Mumbo and the other hitting Cub. During the distraction of Tango being outed, Jevin had snuck behind Mumbo and Cub.

Quick reflexes from Mumbo resulted in Jevin being puted aswell. "I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the Resistance." Were his final words as he collapsed in a very dramatic death.

"Ew, now we got a dead body with us. And it looks like Jevin which is even worse!" Cub jokingly complained as he tosses a handful of slush at Jev.

"Hey!"

"You're dead! You can't talk!" Grian shouted from his dead position on the groun a few blocks away.

"Neither can you! You're dead!" Jevin retorted.

A shout, from probably Ren, was heard from the sidelined, "Hey! Someone do something interesting!"

Doc threw a snowball, aimed for over the wall, but ended up only hitting the wall. Mumbo threw a snowball in return, only instead of an underpowered throw, it overshot and barely missed Etho's feet.

"See," he looked at the remains of the snowball, "you couldn't hit me if you tried!"

A good 5 minutes passed until eventually the gathered crowd got bored. "Oi! I propose that the team with the most people alive after 60 seconds gets to win!" False suggested.

"I like that, but if it's 60 seconds we gotta take down the walls," Grian added. This earned nods and yeses from the group spectating around him. "Okay everyone out on the field! Pause, pause pause pause pause." He waved his hands as he walked out onto the playing field. "We're taking down the walls! It's like dodgebolt, but better!" He pulled out a pick and started mining away at the ice walls scattered about. Those on the playing field helping him.

Once the walls were down, Grian had each team line up on opposite sides. Etho, Doc, and Xb on one, Mumbo and Cub on the other.

"So here's what we're gonna do!" He announced to everyone, "I don't care what count you're at now, everyone is at two. You need to hit someone twice to take them out. You aren't restricted to yours sides either, you can move freely. Any questions?" Doc politely raised his hand. "No." Doc politely lowered his hand.

"Okay go!" Bdubs shouted from the side lines. Doc immidietly threw and hit Mumbo with a snowball. Grian squeaked as he scrambled put of the way, trying not to get hit.

The battle went on for the 60 seconds, Mumbo dropping in a dramatic death and Xb soon to follow. Grian waved his hands and called an end as Cub his  Etho with a final snowball. "To late! Mycelium Reistance wins!" Everyone cheered except for the two on the field, but the smiled and shook hands.

"Who knew the spoon had a nack for snowball fights! He wasn't out until the final 15 seconds!" Ren cheered, helping the mustached man up.

"Hehe, yeah having five older brothers can have some perks."

"Dang!"

"Alright everyone! Coco at the town hall! Scar's treat!" Grian called, laughing at Scar's shocked face.

"Wait a second now." he looked at everyone, noses and cheeks pink from the cold, he couldn't tell them no now, "we don't have marshmallows at the Town Hall."

"I have some! I'll bring them over after I change!" Stress offered.

"See y'all in a little bit!" Bdubs said and a chorus of byes followed as everyone went to go change into dry clothes.

Aww yis baby! First one done! And a good 1,500 words to kick off our countdown! I hope you enjoyed, see you all tomorrow

Have a lovely day/night and know you are loved <3
