The mayor couldn't help but chuckle to himself as the two raposa raced in circles around him, shouting at each other. It made him happy to see everything coming back to the norm. He had thought that he'd never see the people of this village like this again: Play, smiles, and chit chat.
     
The young raposa boy, Jowee, skidded to a halt behind the mayor, using him as a shield against his attacker: Mari.
   
"Stop chasing me!" He whined, threatening to move in the opposite direction every time Mari made to outwit him.
   
"Oh, so THAT'S how it is, huh!?"She fumed, finally giving up on trying to trap him."Throw a snowball at me then run to my dad for help!?"
   
"That was a accident!"
    
"Yeah, right!"
  
The mayor smiled. "It's great to see everyone out and about!" He said cheerfully.
     
Both of the raposa seemed to pay no mind to the Mayor,still keeping eye contact with each other, eyes narrowed.
   
The mayor looked at them both, finding the scene before him rather funny.
The two were always quite entertaining to watch compete and it made him proud to watch Jowee chicken out when met face to face with Mari's rare but dangerous challenges. (The fact that she was his daughter may have had something to do with his pride)
    
Compete...
    
Competition...
    
Inspiration!
   
   Before the Mayor spoke, a strange creature came stumbling up to the group, falling flat on it's face as it neared. It was strange, but simple, being made of nothing but simple, white spheres. It possessed no ears, and no mouth, just two pitch black eyes. It seemed to have trouble walking in the snow shoes it was wearing.
   
"Sorry I'm late! Had to get snowgear: I'd rather not sink knee-deep in freezer burn!" It said, brushing itself off as it got to it's feet. "What'd I miss?"
    
Ah, Doodle!" The Mayor smiled at the creature known as Doodle. Of course, in his and the rest of the raposa's eyes, this was no strange creature: he was their greatest
ally, and dearest friend.

"Just in time! I was just about to say...we should have a village snowball fight..."
The Mayor grinned at Doodle cleverly. "...Doodle vs. everyone!"
    
"WHAT!?" Doodle jumped back in surprise, eyes wide.

"Yeah!" Said Jowee, not moving from his hiding spot. "...We can use Mari as bait!"he added, glaring at her.
  
Mari rolled her eyes. "In your dreams, rapo dork!"
    
"It's decided then!"Said the Mayor. "I'll round up the villagers and we'll start right away!"And with that, the Mayor left, feeling quite proud of himself, (Jowee whimpered, "No, come back!") Though, of course,  HE wouldn't be competing...
...or maybe....

"Ah...uuuh..." Stuttered Doodle. "You...you guys will go easy on me, will you...?"
    
Both raposa slowly turned to Doodle, evil grins on their faces.

"....Is that a "No"?"
