"Oh come on kid, pull!" Plaxum crouched by pidge as she struggled to pull herself up on the branch 10ft high.

"Why the hell is this so hard?!" Pidge grunted but pulled herself up swinging her legs wildly.

"Cause your cute and little and no muscles," Plaxum patted her head as pidge was able to stand.

"I'm working on it," pidge looked up at her and Plaxum used her as an arm rest looking ahead of the afternoon.

"Kinda cloudy for October," Plaxum huffed as she looked at the sky and pidge rubbed her bare arms.

"Oh fuck..." Plaxum looked up as a light snow flake fell on her shoulder.

"What is that?" Pidge asked curiously.

"Snow,"

"You say it like its a bad thing," Pidge crossed her arms.

"It is, crops, staying warm and alive, the trees are slick, it's not to good," Plaxum jumped down easily from the 10ft above and looked at pidge for her to follow.

"Coming?" She raised a dark eye brow.

"If I don't break my legs," pidge grumbled to herself and took a leap, she cried out as the ground got closer but Plaxum caught her smiling gently.

"I got you pidge, it's what we do for another," Plaxum set her down and pidge chuckled awkwardly and squawked when she was tugged harshly when they began to run to the camp.

"Queen Allura!" Plaxum called as they ran in and Allura was already beginning to hand out blankets for the winters and furs.

"How much worst is it?" Allura shivered slightly as she wrapped a fur cape around her shoulders and pulled on long black gloves that covered her arms.

"Heavy snow fall, best bet it'll be frosty from now on," Plaxum told her firmly nodding as Lance offered her a long sleeve shirt that was thicker along with a cloth that covered her neck and could be pulled to her nose.

"Winter came early," Lance stated as he pulled a cloth over his head that covered his neck and was able to be pulled up as well like Plaxum while he had a hood over his head and wrapped an animal fur around his waist.

"Hopefully it'll be gone early in spring, we can start planting crops then," he finished as he handed pidge a blanket as she shivered slightly.

"One bright side to it," Plaxum nodded.

"We'll send the farmers back out to save the crops and anything that's still of use, anything and everything," Allura said, Lance and Plaxum nodded racing off as the light flakes of snow started to grow thicker.

"What should I do?" Pidge asked her and Allura looked at her for a moment with suspicious but smiled instead kindly.

"Tell the other toppers of the trees being slick, try to save some of the wood as well, dryer the better," Allura motioned to the far of people who where brings wood inside as others where fixing huts and homes for the winter as the roofs could take more for the next few months.

"What are winters like?" Pidge asked hesitantly.

"This is your first winter isn't it?" Allura walked with her to the others slowly. She nodded.

"It's truly beautiful I won't deny, but it's also very dangerous, cold and deadly," Allura explained and pidge nodded slowly.

"Will we die?" Pidge asked again softly.

"No, not if you stay near and never in a blizzard, it's safe and we have each other's backs here, we don't let each other die so easily," Allura said kindly with comfort as pidge looked at her.

"Snow is what's cold right?" She pointed out and the older woman nodded.

"Thank you for letting me and my brother stay and our friends," Pidge blurted out as she gulped softly.

"Of course Pidge, you show loyalty and it's gratefully appreciated here, I don't care where you came from, your one of us," Allura held her hands behind her back as pidge blew a soft breath watching it in the cold air amused.

"Your very intelligent, we could use someone like you," Allura nodded as pidge snorted but didn't deny.

"Thank you queen Allura," Pidge nodded but Allura waved her off.

"No one really calls me that unless it's serious or formal, it's not a dictatorship, we are a community," Allura motioned around as pidge saw everyone working together to be prepared for the season.

"I already miss the warmer weather," Pidge huffed but picked up her feet to make it to the others as they gave her instructions as if they've already accepted her as their own.

"Allura," Lance walked up to her as he pulled his mask down.

"Is everything okay?" She asked seeing the panic on his face.

"Acid fog is heading our way, the winter winds are pushing it faster and spreading it out," he told her and Allura eyes widen.

"Everyone get to the bunkers!" She called as everyone stared at her but soon dropped everything and ran to a hut disappearing on the inside as more and more piled in but it didn't seem crowded. Allura and Lance rallied everyone to the hut and Lance walked in as there was a underground bunker with a ladder to the bottom.

"Lance hurry," Allura touched his shoulder and he gasped a jump looking at her.

"It's going to be okay, all of us are there with you," she smiled gently and lances hand rose to his neck and his thumb and index finger touched the necklace in hope of comfort as he began to climb down. Allura took another look at the camp and soon jumped down as she grabbed a thick square of metal placing it on the hole as there was torches lit in the bunker already.

"It'll pass," Allura noticed Lance sitting against the wall in a ball as he had his hands over his ears and wide eyes.

"It'll be okay Lance," she whispered knelling next to him but he didn't notice her but his breathing was shaky and quicker.

She stood with a small sigh and walked forward to make sure everyone was down with them.
