An Abominable Snowman?! Thaw Quickly Pretty Sailor Memory!

How long had it been? Hours? Days even? No, in fact, it hadn't been too long at all!

Mere minutes prior, Creme Puff had found herself high above, precariously sat upon her Flying Nimbus. She had found herself in the mood for ice cream back in the city, but had trouble locating her favorite ice cream man. As such, she had decided to take her desire to the source; the Land of Ice Cream!

As the wind picked up and snow began to fall, Creme Puff hung off the side of the Nimbus; sticking her tongue out as she attempted to catch a snowflake. With a suddenly huge gust of wind however, she had been caught completely off guard when her face was instead met with a chunk of hail; knocking her immediately off her Nimbus, causing her to plummet to the thick, snowy ground below.

It was here, buried within the snow that she had now found herself; slightly dazed, and more than a bit cold. The Nimbus unfortunately, now blue itself from the cold, hand no choice but to retreat; leaving its friend to fend for themselves for the time.

It wouldn't take long however for a would be rescuer to aid Creme Puff in this moment of need! As with a swift stomp, Creme Puff would feel the snow atop her compress and spread as a foot came down; swiftly striking her upon the head, albeit unknowingly.

"Owie!" Creme Puff would cry out, before suddenly realizing her situation.

Pushing herself up, Creme Puff would pop out of the snow; awakened by the previous stomp, and would immediately take notice of her savior as she trudged forward with determination!

"Oh! Hi there!!" Creme Puff would call out excitedly as she attempted to rush up to the magical looking girl; only to step into a divot and once more disappear into the thick snow due to her diminutive size, "OHMF!?" Words would fail to come through as she was buried once more; with nothing more than her hand reaching out from beneath the snow, as if subtly requesting assistance.

"Bwuaah!"

Pulled from the snow, Creme Puff would take a satisfying gasp for air before rubbing at her nose.

"AHH!! You saved me twice now!!" Creme Puff exclaimed excitedly, before a shiver would suddenly shoot down her spine, "Wooooah! Hehehe, it's SUPER cold, huh?" She laughed, as she attempted to zip up her jacket and place her hood over her head.

Creme Puff, winter protection mode was ready to go! And not a moment too soon, for suddenly, just as her savior had asked a strange question, a powerful roar would sound out from afar.

"Ooooo! What was that? Do you have a friend that roars!?" Creme Puff asked excitedly, "I have a friend too! His name is Nimbus..." She would continue with a smile, before hesitating as the gears in her head began to turn, "GAH! Wait a sec, where did Nimbus go??" She questioned, looking around to find her cloudy companion; though no matter where she peered, endless white was all she could see.

That was, until the new heroic friend she'd just met suddenly made a ball of light form; and it was pink too, Creme Puff's favorite color! Right next to all the other colors of the rainbow!

"Heyhey! Whats that?" Creme Puff questioned enthusiastically; only to see the girl fire off the ball of light to clear the snow, before suddenly feeling her self hoisted up as she was taken by the girl back to proper ground, "Hehehe, that was fun! Let's do that again!" Creme Puff exclaimed, "Oh! I'm Creme Puff!" She would introduce, proudly puffing out her chest as if she had accomplished something, "What's your name? Are you a Princess? I know a suuuuuuuuper cool Knight! His name is Lait, and he wears pink armor!" Creme Puff rambled, "Oh, but he doesn't like fish!"

---

"Not a friend?" Creme Puff questioned, before smiling and giving a nod to the girl's request to stay behind her.

This was a serious problem, a serious one indeed! It they weren't a friend, that could only mean one thing... they were a future friend! They must have been someone that the girl wanted as a friend; and with the sound of a sudden oncoming roar, Creme Puff was quick to see how right she was!

"Awww, how cute!!" Creme Puff exclaimed with sparkles in her eyes.

The creature was so big and fluffy, with the purest of white fur! Just like an adorable fluffy dog, but even bigger, which just meant there was more of it to love! It had charged the Pretty Sailor as quickly as it could, bring both of it's arms down upon her.

"Looky! I think it wants a hug!" Creme Puff cheered, ready to give it just that!

Before she could act however, her knew friend had imposed a request upon her; go find a little girl? Most certainly, it was another potential friend!

"Aye aye, Captain!" Creme Puff giggled, giving a salute before hovering up slightly into the air, "But leave some hugs for Creme Puff!"

With that, she would float off down the trail that the creature had come from; allowing the girl to handle the situation unencumbered!

---

As Creme Puff would daintily glide down the path that was made, blissfully unawares of the epic showdown that her adorably dressed companion was engaging in, she would hum a soft tune as she looked about for a little girl.

"Hmm hmmm hm hmhm hmm~"

The path would steadily begin to come to an end, with endless snow once more taking up the area ahead of her. She had gone quite far off from where the battle was taking place after all; so much so that the sound of the creatures roaring was rather muffled. Luckily, this would be no issue however, as within moments, Creme Puff had taken notice of a peculiar sound.

"Eh? Helloooooo~?" Creme Puff would call out as she attempted to follow the sound, before quickly stumbling upon a formation of rather large rocks covered in snow, "Heellloooooololololooooo~!!" Creme Puff would call out into the cavernous dwelling that the rocks formed, playfully speaking alongside the echo that her voice was making.

"NO! GO AWAY!" The voice of a small child would shout out.

"Oh?" Creme Puff began curiously, floating closer to the girl, "Are you the friend I'm looking for?" She would asked excitedly, spinning through the air before lithely stepping back down onto the ground.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!" The girl would cry out, clearly terrified by whatever previous encounter she had endured.

"Hehehe, that's a loud scream! But you don't gotta be afraid!" Creme Puff assured in her typically friendly manner, "Creme Puff isn't gonna hurt ya!" She continued, hesitating a bit before suddenly realizing she'd forgotten to introduce herself, "Oh!! I'm~ Creme Puff!!" She declared, taking a wide, proud stance as she puffed out her chest; only for her foot to slip on a bit of ice, causing her to fall backwards, "Oof, owie!"

Witnessing the display, the previously wary girl would begin to laugh; coming to a realization that the individual before her was no monster. Still, though the fear was somewhat alleviated, the girl would quickly begin to cry once more.

"Wah! Oh no, are you okay?" Creme Puff would ask as she stood back up, "I have band-aids! Will that help?"

Quickly, the little girl would rush up to Creme Puff, clinging to her as she continued to cry.

"I wanna go home!!!" The little girl would yell through her sobs.

"Hehe, okay! I'll take ya home!" Creme Puff assured as she pat the girls head; only to hesitate for another moment as another realization dawned on her, "Woah! You're SUPER small, huh?" Creme Puff laughed with a bright smile.

---

With her mission successful, Creme Puff and the little girl would escape the cavernous abode; the likely home of the creature. Lifting the little girl up, Creme Puff would float through the air with her so as to avoid the thick snow that had foiled her once before. It would take too long for the two of them to reach the stretch of exposed ground that had been created prior thanks to the efforts of the Pretty Sailor. With the strong winds and ever falling snow however, it was plain to see that most of the path was already buried and it would be long until there was no path at all!

"Hehe, you're heavy!" Creme Puff would laugh as she set the little girl down daintily upon the ground.

"Hey! That's not very nice!" The little girl would protest; pouting as she crossed her arms in annoyance.

Before the innocent merriment could continue further however, the muffled sounds of impacts and strikes caught their attention. It was an unfamiliar sound, but something that stood out amidst the lightly howling wind. As well, the constant growls and roars of the creature also served as a dead give away that things weren't as peaceful as they might have seemed.

"AHHH!! T-that... that was the monster!" The little girl would cry out nervously; immediately beginning to shiver with fear as she backed away from the sounds.

"Monster?" Creme Puff would question before proceeding to laugh, "Heheh, there's no such things as monsters silly!" She attempted to reassure, taking hold of the girls hand before attempting to usher her down the path, "C'mon! Heh, I'll protect ya if things get scary!"

Though the girl was hesitant at first, with a small nod she would accept Creme Puff's proposal; clinging to her arm as the two walked down the path. At their small sizes, the walk would take a good bit longer; but the two would arrive just in time. Sadly, what they were in time for, was to see their valiant hero being struck down and buried within a mound of snow!

"Hehe, lookit! They're playing!" Creme Puff said excitedly, giving the girl a bright smile that seemed to calm her before looking out towards the battle, "Hey Hero lady!! I found our new friend!!!" She would shout out, giving a wide wave with her free arm to get the Pretty Sailor's attention.

The two would still be at a somewhat safe distance away; with Creme Puff having decided to stop near a rather large snow covered rock. Though it was one that could have been used as cover if needed, Creme Puff's intention was simply not to interrupt the playtime that the Creature and Pretty Sailor were having.

---

Carrying the small girl with her, Creme Puff would float to the top of the large rock the two had stopped at. It seemed like the perfect vantage point to watch the ensuing confrontation unfold; as well as the perfect spot to enjoy some snacks, if not for the constant cold and snow. Removing a couple candy bars from her jacket, Creme Puff would pass one off to the small girl; showing her how to unwrap and eat the delight before turning her attention back to Pretty Sailor.

"Heeeeeeeey!" Creme Puff would call out, "Are you guys almost done playin'? I got snacks if yer hungry!" She would cheer happily before taking a bite of her candy bar.

Even from within her jacket, the cold had seemed to seep through and harden the candy bar to an annoying point. Biting into it was almost like biting into a rock; it took effort to gnaw and chew at it, but no snack would defeat Creme Puff!

"I don't think they're playing..." The small girl would say nervously as she clutched tightly to her own candy bar while watching the battle unfold, "They're fighting!" She would exclaim before shouting out to the Pretty Sailor, "You can do it!! I believe in you!!!" While the small girl may have felt fearful at he sight of the creature, she would still wear a look of hope and determination; trusting in the ability of the Pretty Salior to save the day.

"Fighting?" Creme Puff would question as she continued to gnaw at her candy bar, "Hehe, yeah! I believe in ya too!! You can win!!!" Creme Puff would shout, still entirely convinced that the Pretty Sailor was simply playing a game and having fun with the creature. If the small girl was going to cheer for her though, then Creme Puff would too; it seemed like fun after all!

---

In a dazzling display of light and power, the area would become completely enveloped by the Pretty Sailor's impressive magical attack! With a light so brilliant, Creme and the small girl were forced to avert their gaze; the small girl more so, as Creme merely stared blankly with a wide smile as the massive wave of energy pulsated across the area. The form of the creature would be completely engulfed in the display, and the light would continue on for a nearly unfathomable distance. The sound of the attack would boom and echo throughout the vast empty ice lands, overtaking even the sound of the blizzard; until finally, the display cease.

Snow would no longer fall, as the clouds above had parted due to the intensity; silence would be all the remained, save for the Pretty Sailor's decree of victory. As a light breeze whisked through the area however, the realization of the situation would finally set in for the two small girls.

"HAHA!! YAAAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!" Creme Puff would exclaim excitedly, with the smaller girl following suit with cheers of her own.

Leaping down from the rock, the two girls would rush up to the Pretty Sailor; with the smaller girl even rushing it to hug her would be savior.

"You're my hero! Thank you, thank you!!!" The little girl would cry out with tears forming in her eyes.

"Hehehe, that was so bright! Yer not just a hero, but a SUUUUUUPER super hero!!" Creme Puff would exclaim as she played around, using her hands to imitate the Pretty Sailor's actions; adding in sound effects as well to spice things up, with the smaller girl joining in quickly on the imaginary fun.

The threat had been defeated, and the young girl had been rescued; all in all making it a job well done for the duo, even if the Pretty Sailor had done most of the work. The three would be able to return to Penga Village without worry, taking pride in their adventure. For Creme Puff however, there would be only one regret; and that was the fact that she had sadly failed her original mission this day. Though she wouldn't immediately remember, it would soon become apparent to her as a craving stuck some time later... she had never gotten any ice cream!
