Stupid Spring

[scarletmorning]

The day before yesterday was wonderfully warm. At least most of the time. In the morning it was a bit chilly. I knew that yesterday would be a bit colder, so I thought long trousers would be sufficient. And what happened? It was freaking cold!

I was annoyed. So annoyed that I wrote fic.

Title: The reason why it was so freaking cold yesterday

"Stop it!"

"No, I have to go!" There was a loud crash. Spring tackled Summer to the ground. Summer´s head met the ground with an audible crack. "AH!"

"That's what you get for being stupid." Spring yelled at him and tried to keep him down.

"But the people want me!" Summer retorted angrily and tried to stand up. Spring didn't let him. "They are begging me to come and warm the earth. They want to run around in shorts and skirts and T-shirts! Now let me go!" Summer wriggled with all his might, but Spring was still stronger.

"It's not your time yet!" Spring yelled angrily and punched him on the head.

"But they want me! I'm more awesome than you. You're too cold."

"I'm not!" Spring exclaimed shocked. Her grip on Summer tightened. "I'm sometimes cool but most of the time I'm very nice and pleasant. The perfect mixture of cold and hot."

"But the people want hot weather." Summer whined.

"It's still not your time yet!" Spring yelled, angry again.


A few feet away from them Autumn and Winter sat at a table and drank some tea. Autumn´s tea was warm, not too hot, just how he liked it. Winter´s tea, unfortunately, was cold. Fortunately, it was not frozen. The cup was frozen though. And that made Winter mad, because she wanted to drink warm tea. But everything she touched, froze over.

"They behave like children." Autumn sighed and sipped at his tea. Winter nodded and glared at her tea.

"Yes, they do. And every year it's the same." Autumn nodded and sighed again.

"Why do they not learn from the past?"

"They would need the ability to think, which they don't have." Winter replied annoyed. She took a sip of her tea. It tasted horrible. Winter hated cold tea. And she hated having to listen to Spring´s and Summer´s quarrels.

"Don't be mean." Autumn scolded her gently. Winter threw a glare over to Spring and Summer. They were fighting now and rolling over the ground. Right over to the shelf with Winter´s snowball collection. Before anyone could say anything, Summer and Spring collided with the shelf. In slow motion the snowballs fell towards the ground. Winter was expressionless, Autumn grimaced, Summer and Spring blinked dumbfounded, when the snowballs hit the ground and turned into one mass of frozen water.

"Oh...." Summer and Spring stated simultaneously. Winter put her cup on the table slowly and stood up. Summer and Spring looked up at her. "Winter, we're-"

"You arseholes!!" Winter yelled and a freaking cold gust rushed through the room. Autumn shielded his eyes. When the gust disappeared again, he looked over to the others. Spring and Summer were frozen, inside a big cube of ice, and Winter turned around with a huff, walking back to the table. She flopped down gracefully and grabbed her tea. Autumn sighed good-naturedly and drank up his tea.

"They deserved it."

Winter loves her snowballs. :]

Hahaha, that's so cute. What a neat idea. You know, I'll bet you could write children's books about the seasons like that. They'd probably do really well. ♥

:D Thank you. Spontaneous ideas are the best. At least most of the time.
