Sometimes the snow comes down in June…

 

The time was 3:54 a.m. She was sitting outside and watching the white petals of these unusually late-blooming flowers on the trees around the Central dorms fall silently to the ground. He decided to join her. She sighed as she heard him coming. “So you're up late too?” she asked. “Yeah, couldn't sleep,” he replied. A comfortable silence fell between them. “Doesn't this remind you of snow?” she commented. He raised an eyebrow at her seemingly random outburst. “I never thought of it like that. But I guess it does.” She smiled. “Let's make snow angels!” she exclaimed as she shot up and ran toward an empty section of grass. He sighed as he noted, “I don't think that's going to work. It's not really snow, you know.” “I know that!” she retorted, now angry. However, that feeling instantly subsided. “Doesn't hurt to try, right?”

“Oh all right.”

She smiled.

“Thank you.”

He couldn't help but smile back. “You're welcome.”

The next morning, Maes Hughes walked to work as usual when something caught his eye. He turned to the right and saw Ed and his mechanic and friend lying asleep in the grass. They were in the middle of two rough but recognizable snow angels. Well, they were actually `petal' angels; there was no snow on the ground. He smiled as he pulled out the camera he always keeps with him. He snapped a photo and went over to wake them up. “Snow in June, who would've guessed.”
