The snowstorm rages outside, howling and swirling through the trees, but inside the house, it's warm and cozy. The power flickers, casting the living room in a soft, golden light, and the smell of freshly baked cookies fills the air. The gang has gathered around the fireplace, everyone huddled together with blankets and mugs of hot chocolate in hand. Ponyboy lounges on the couch, a board game spread out before him, while Two-Bit is already making a ridiculous argument about how he’s the undisputed champion of Monopoly. Johnny sits quietly by the fire, occasionally joining in the banter, while Dally, leaning against the doorframe, keeps tossing playful glances at everyone.

Snowflakes are visible through the windows, the storm now a mere backdrop to this unexpected, cozy evening. There’s no rush to go anywhere, and the world outside feels miles away. As the gang settles in, someone hands you a warm cookie, and Two-Bit shouts across the room, "Who’s up for a little challenge?!"
