Lex and Ethan sit on the couch, cuddling and watching a movie
A brunette girl wearing a yellow flannel and holding a spider plushie runs into the room, she sits on the couch next to them
“Snow, white, winter!” She exclaimed
Lex stood, walked to the window and moved the curtain
It’s white outside, snow conceals the grass
Icicles hang off the roof of the houses
Hannah smiled happily and squeezed her spider plushie
“Webby likes snow, i like snow.”
“Hey banana, wanna go and play in the snow?”
“Yes, will you braid my hair first, Alexie?”
“Uh-huh!”
Hannah moved to sit down on the floor
Lex quickly grabbed two hairties and began to braid her sister’s hair, Ethan watched lovingly
She continued to braid Hannah’s hair and soon, Hannah has two braids, she stood up.
She hugs Lex
“Thanks, Lexie!”
Lex returned the hug and pats Hannah’s head
“No problem, Banana Split.”

Hannah pulled on two jackets and a warm hat.
Lex pulled on a beanie and her grey denim jacket
Ethan pulled on a sweater and his leather jacket
Ethan gently ruffles Hannah’s hair
They all put on gloves
“Ya ready, Banana?”
Hannah nodded
“Uh-huh!” She hugged her plushie and grabbed Lex’s hand
Lex squeezed her little sisters hand
“Let’s go, Banana.”

They walked out and were immediately hit with the smell of the crisp winter air.
Hannah looked around and felt Webby’s presence
“Queen, Snow, Happy” Hannah exclaimed
“You happy, Banana?” Lex asked
“Very.” Hannah said
They began to walk around town, making snowballs and throwing them at each other
Hannah giggled as Lex threw a snowball at her
“Cold!” She exclaimed happily
Hannah made a snowball and hit Lex back
Lex chuckled and threw another
They kept throwing the snow back and forth before Hannah fell
Lex and Ethan ran to her and helped her up
“You okay, Banana?” Lex asked
“I’m fine, knee popped..”
She teared up
“Shh, shh, shh” Lex held her close
“Can you walk?” Ethan asked
Hannah nodded
“Uh-huh”
She smiled as she felt another presence with her
Hannah held onto Lex’s hand and they walk slowly
Hannah saw a tree and walked closer
She noticed a spider on the tree
Hannah held out her hands and the spider crawled onto them
“Hey little Webby..” Hannah whispered and she set it back on the tree, watching it crawl away
She took Lex’s hand again and walks again slowly
“You okay, banana?”
“Uh-huh, my knee is fine now.” Hannah exclaimed
“Good, good.” Lex responded
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
They walk past a familiar diner, spotting a red haired woman behind the counter, talking to a familiar dark-haired man
“Hey, isn’t that Miss Holloway?” Ethan asked
“Yeah, she’s talking to Duke.” Lex retorted
Hannah perked up
“Duke! Webby likes Duke, I like him too.”
“He’s saved us plenty of times, huh?” Lex grinned
“Yeah, I like him.”
As they walked, Lex began to shiver
Ethan looked over at the brunette
“Hey, you okay, puddin’?”
Lex grinned wider and squeezed his hand three times
communicating a silent “I love you”
He squeezed her hand back three times
“I’m fine, Sweetheart, I’m just.. getting cold out here.”
Ethan wraps his arm around her waist, he stopped for a second and took off his leather jacket, draping it over her shoulders, he gently rubbed her shoulders
“There ya go, love.”
“Aren’t you gonna get cold?” She says, gesturing to his t-shirt and sweater
“Nah, I’ll be fine.” He moved closer to Lex, now walking right beside her
“I love you, Lexie.”
“I love you too, E.”

After walking and playing with snow for a while, they decided to rest in Miss Holloway’s vintage diner, Miss Retros.
Miss Holloway slid a few plates in front of Lex, Ethan, and Hannah
Her famous cherry pie for Ethan and Lex
And french fries for Hannah
“Thanks..” Hannah murmured
“Of course, sweetheart.” Miss Holloway remarked
Duke sat at a table across from the three
“Hiya Duke” Hannah said
“Heya Darlin’!” He grinned
Hannah began to eat her french fries
Lex took a bite of pie
“Mm, that’s good.” Lex said
“I’m happy to hear that” Miss Holloway declared
Lex reached across the table and held Ethan’s hand
“How are things going?” Duke asked softly
“Everything’s good, I’ve been staying at Ethan’s house.”
“Glad to hear that.” Duke exclaimed
“Happy, Warm, Safe” Hannah exclaimed
“You sure do keep this place warm” Lex retorted
“Yeah, I guess I do, huh?” Miss Holloway spoke
Lex looked up at the setting sun and then turned her gaze to Hannah
“Hey banana, we should get going soon”
Hannah nods
Ethan and Lex ate the rest of their pie, and Hannah had finished her french fries, Lex and Hannah hugged Duke before they left the 80s themed diner, they glanced back at Miss Holloway’s jukebox and rotary phone as they left

Lex, Ethan and Hannah walked back home, they looked at the sky, it was filled with hues of orange, pink, and blue
“The sky is so pretty.” Lex said
“Uh-huh, Pretty!” Hannah retorted
They glanced over at the different houses, all the homes covered in snow, icicles hang from the roofs, they can see Christmas trees in the windows of people’s houses
“Webby likes winter, I like winter.” Hannah murmured
Lex quietly hummed a Christmas song that was stuck in her head as they headed back home.

Lex, Ethan, and Hannah sat on the couch cuddled up, a blanket was draped on all three of them and Hannah sat left of Lex, leaning on her shoulder, Ethan sat next to Lex with his arm around her, he pressed a kiss to her head
“So, movie night?” Ethan asked
“Yes, yes!” Hannah said
“What movie do you wanna watch, banana?”
“Elf!” Hannah exclaimed
“Alright, that’s a good choice!” Ethan reached for the remote
“Do you want hot chocolate?” Ethan asked
Lex and Hannah nodded
“Uh-huh!” Hannah replied
“That would be nice, thanks babe.” Lex said
Ethan disappeared into the kitchen and started to make the hot chocolate
Lex and Hannah snuggle up closer and Lex presses a kiss to the top of her younger sister’s head
“I love you, banana.”
“Love you, Lexie” Hannah murmured, wrapping her arms around her older sister
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Ethan emerged from the kitchen with two cups of hot chocolate, just hot chocolate for Lex and one with whipped cream and marshmallows for Hannah
He hands them to Lex and Hannah
Ethan walked back into the kitchen, grabbed his own cup, and sat down next to Lex, taking a sip of his hot cocoa before setting it down on the table and cuddling up to Lex
He peppered a few gentle kisses to her neck
She snuggled closer
Hannah leaned against Lex more and grinned
Ethan started the movie and adjusted the blanket as it started.
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
Around the half way point of the movie, Hannah fell asleep
Ethan grinned at the sleeping girl as Lex gently ran her hands through Hannah’s hair
After a while of Hannah’s quiet snores, the noise of the movie and the quiet giggles and chatter of Lex and Ethan
Ethan pulled Lex into his lap
Lex wrapped her arms around him, peppering kisses on his face and neck before landing on his lips
After a couple minutes, Ethan pulled away, pressing his forehead against hers
Ethan ran his hands up and down Lex’s back In a comforting manner, peppering kisses on her neck again
“I love you, Lex.”
“I love you too, Ethan.”
