The children giggled as they searched through the Everything Room, trying to find something to play with. It was raining outside but they were all far too energetic for their usual lazy rainy-day activities of reading and playing cards and listening to Moominpappa's stories.

"I know!" Snorkmaiden opened a wooden treasure-box and pulled out a long, blue ballgown. "We could play dress-up!"

It was found by the others to be quite an excellent idea. With that, they dove into the box and began to pull out random clothes and accessories none of them knew the Moominparents owned.

Snufkin attempted to pile as many pearl necklaces onto Little My's neck as possible, which ended when her face was completely covered. She pushed some of them off and demanded control of Snufkin's outfit, which Snufkin, for some reason, allowed. Much to Moomin, Sniff and Snufkin's surprise, she only used this power to dress him up in a knight's suit of armour.

"Why would Mamma and Pappa even own armour?" Snufkin questioned, taking his helmet off and tucking it under his arm. Snorkmaiden blushed and averted her gaze, for a reason only known to her and Little My, who smirked at her. Snorkmaiden glared back at the evil, evil little thing.

"There's everything in the everything room." Moomin shrugged off Snufkin's question, although he, in opposition to his girlfriend, couldn't seem to tear his eyes away from Snufkin.

"We should all take turns dressing each other up!" Sniff chimed in, because he was having fun and wanted to join in and couldn't read the room. They all agreed, regardless of any fluttering feelings they had in their stomachs. Sniff was backed into a corner of the room by Little My, who insisted he try on wig after wig after wig. The two were subsequently ignored by the other three in the room.

Moomin and Snufkin agreed they would work together to dress up Snorkmaiden, both knowing exactly what she wanted. She squealed in delight as they presented her with a floor length pink dress and a shiny gold tiara, fit for a princess. She twirled around, the skirt of the dress trailing after her and turned a pleased turquoise. Moomin openly admired his girlfriend's beauty while Snufkin stole shy, quiet glances that Snorkmaiden smugly indulged. She knew he thought Moomin handsome but she was pleased that extended to her too.

"Your turn, Moomin." Snorkmaiden said.

Moomin, who thought he knew where the theme of their dress up game was going stared at her with a deadpan expression.

"Please don't dress me up as a court jester."

Snorkmaiden and Snufkin burst into giggles and breathlessly promised they wouldn't. Instead they put him in brown leather boots and a hat and gave him a loop of rope to keep over his shoulder.

"A cowboy?" Moomin asked, confused. "That doesn't match at all." He mumbled.

Snufkin and Snorkmaiden shared several nervous, pink-cheeked glances with each other as they admired Moomin's new outfit. Moomin didn't notice, but from Snufkin's looks, Snorkmaiden knew everything she needed to know.

She smirked.
