#WinterWonderland2022

Willow trotted around in the snow sniffing the ground as snow fell on her beautiful thick grey fur. Willow stared into the Mount Ormond resort a part of her wanted to go inside and investigate but knowing how aggressive Joey, Julie, and Frank were she trotted off not wanting to get attacked. Willow sniffed the ground once more trying to pick up a scent to follow; she perked up excitedly when a scent hit her nose whether it be a friend, a foe, or potentially something to eat. Her curiosity took over her and she sprinted towards the source of the scent.

Meanwhile Susie was sitting on a generator out in the snow swinging her legs back and forth, she kinda missed Ormond as much as she liked being in the realm with Willow she still missed home. When she was still in Ormond she would often feed the local strays that would come by her house. She sighed; her breath visible as she did so from the cold "I wonder where Willow is" she said as she got off the generator and began to search for her fluffy lover.

Willow's fluffy tail wagged as she excitedly followed the scent and soon she found what it belonged to; a rabbit. Willow snuck up on it and killed it immediately eating it afterwards. Willow laid down as she licked what was left of the Rabbit from her chops sighing happily now that she had eaten. As she laid comfortably a light wind picked up blowing a bit of snow into Willow's face but she didn't budge instead curling her tail around her snout.

The wind blew Susie's bright pink hair tickling her face as she continued to walk searching for Willow pulling up the hood from her favorite hoodie over her head in hopes it would keep the wind from blowing her hair in her face again. Once Susie found Willow she grinned as she picked up some snow and began to sneak up on her lover trying her hardest to not start giggling and give away her position. Once she was close enough to Willow she threw the handful of snow hitting Willow's the thick fur on Willow's neck.

Willow jumped to her paws with a yelp when the snow hit her looking around frantically for who might've thrown it. Susie could not stop laughing to the point she was in tears leading Willow right to her. Willow looked down at Susie causing her to stop laughing "I'm in trouble, aren't I?" Willow smirked and giggled as she play bowed with her tail wagging "You better start running" she said in a playful tone as she gave chase to her human love. Both of them were laughing happily as they chased eachother. Once Willow caught up to Susie she pounced her pinning her into the cold snow "Gotcha" Willow said as she slightly stuck her tongue out.

As the two were about to start play fighting and chasing eachother again the wind picked up causing them both to shiver. Willow got off Susie "C'mon, let's head to my den it's way warmer in there" Susie nodded and the two young lovers ran off to Willow's den and entered it; first Willow entered and then Susie. The legion girl laid her head in Willow's thick mane sighing happily as she did so earning her an affectionate lick from Willow causing her to blush and smile her braces slightly shining from the moonlight that peered into the den "Awww, Willow you're so sweet" she said as she hugged the werewolf she was laying on "It's because I love you" Willow responded with a wagging tail "I love you too Willow" Susie said before falling asleep.

While Susie slept Willow thought about what she might get for Susie since Christmas was right around the corner it took Willow a lot of thinking on what to do but once she got an idea a different problem had to be sorted out; Susie was still asleep all cuddled up to Willow and she didn't want to wake her up. Willow wasn't sure what to do since she needed to get something for Susie but didn't want to wake her up so she made the tough decision to leave Susie alone in the den; she carefully got out of Susie's grasp to not wake her up and then ran out of the den trying to figure out what to get Susie. She sniffed the ground and air once she caught a scent she followed it frantically hoping she wouldn't be attacked on Christmas eve and thankfully she found who the scent belonged to without being attacked.

Willow found Joey and sighed a bit she was relieved that he liked her since he knew that Susie was in love with Willow and knew that the two were happy together so in turn he didn't view her as a threat. Willow approached him "Hey, you know what Susie likes what do you suggest I get her for Christmas?" Willow said with her ears back anxiously; she felt bad she forgot to get Susie something. Joey glanced over at her and said "Follow me I think I've got something you could give her" Willow followed him into Mount Ormond resort and sat down as she waited for him to retrieve what he supposedly had for her. After a few hours he came back with a wolf plushie "I thought she'd really like this and I already have another gift for her and I think she'd appreciate it more if it came from you" Willow's tail wagged "Thank you!" She said as she took the plushie and ran off. Once Willow got back to the den she peered inside to see that Susie was thankfully still asleep, so Willow hid the wolf plushie and went back to cuddling up with Susie quickly falling asleep.

The next day

The bright light from the morning sun peered into the den marking the beginning of Christmas day. Willow yawned as she woke up and nudged Susie with her fluffy head "Hey, Good morning Susie" Susie got up and stretched "Good morning puppy" she said as she scratched behind Willow's ears "What did ya get me fur Christmas?" She asked playfully causing Willow to giggle "You know I can't tell you it would ruin the surprise" Susie giggled too "Fine, I'll go get my gift for you" she said happily as she walked off to go get Willow's gift. Willow grabbed the wolf plushie and sat it down behind herself trying not to knock it over with her wagging tail.

Susie searched for the gift she had gotten for slightly panicking when she couldn't find it. Joey chuckled "Looking for this?" He said playfully as he held up the gift Susie got for Willow. Susie perked up "Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for thank you Joey!" He smirked "You're such a mess Susie" he said playfully as Susie ran off back to Willow with her gift in hand. Once she got to Willow she sat down and placed a large Bone with a ribbon tied around it in front of Willow "Merry Christmas Willow" she said with a smile. Willow stared at the bone and her tail wagged happily as she started to knaw on it "Thank you so Much Susie! I love it" Susie smiled "I'm not done yet" Willow tilted her head and before she could speak Susie put a necklace around Willow's neck that had half of a human hand print with half a wolf paw print in the palm and Susie pulled the other half out from the inside of her hoodie and connected it to Willow's and said "Now we match" she said smiling wide with her braces in full view. Willow was also really happy "I love you Susie" Susie blushed a little bit "I love you too Willow" she said as she hugged the werewolf happily earning her a lick on her face from Willow.
