YES! WE ARE DONE WITH GARIBALDI! But seriously, nine chapters to finish the
first race? Methinks we need a better system of writing the race chapters,
cause they're getting a wee bit to long. You agree with me, eh? Good.
Great! WONDERFUL. Let's get this gravy train rolling then, shall we?
"I never knew first class was this cool," Gage said, sipping his root beer float. "Yeah- it's like they save all the good stuff for this place: good food, good movies, hot flight attendants." Inferno said, winking at one of the foxier stewardesses as she passed. "Ah. the good life," Oni said, putting her feet up. "It's too peaceful here. Where's Fisher? Shouldn't he be doing something like petitioning to watch that movie Alive?" Boris asked. "Shut up and live it for all it's worth, Boris. Leave the eating machine alone," Ryuki said.
Shadow looked out the window, bored out of his mind. "Figures I get to sit next to Mr. Chatterbox over here," He mumbled, gesturing to Nick's sleeping figure. Alexia, who was sitting on the other side of Nick, laughed. "Yeah. I think Psymon's tattoo is more talkative than this sleeping giant," Alexia retorted. The pair laughed, until Nick grunted, "I can hear you, ya know." Shadow's eyes bugged out as Alexia went pale. Nick chuckled, and went back to sawing logs.
"Yo, Rick! What really happened to Fisher?" Mac asked. "Well, the airline made some mistake in booking our seats, and Fisher's ticket ended up being a coach seat," Rick replied. Oni laughed pretty hard upon hearing this. "Anyone up for gloating after we land?" she asked. "I'm in," Lorelei said. "Me too," Inferno yelled. "I think we shouldn't rub it in Fisher's face. That is kind of mean." Brodi said from a trance-like sleep. "I'm out," Lorelei said quickly. "You're missing out." Oni said, winking at Lorelei. Lorelei blushed and sipped her soda.

Things weren't going so smoothly for Fisher, however. He was trapped between a hefty Grecian woman with a B.O. problem and a bald Satanist who was presently drooling on him as he slept. The steward, a small man with a very high voice, came by with their meals. "Sorry, sir, but all we have left is the kosher meal," he said, sounding like he didn't mean a work of it. "Kosher meal? Does it taste good?" Fisher asked hopefully. "I'll leave that to you," he replied, dropping the meal onto Fisher's tray. Fisher prodded the food with a fork, and pushed it away. "What did I do to deserve this?! How do I make it stop!?" Fisher wailed. "Ritual suicide?" the Satanist mumbled in his sleep. "That's sounding like a good option." Fisher said.
Suddenly, Fisher got up. Seeing no one was looking, he quickly snuck into the first-class area. "Fisher! What's up?" Boris asked as Fisher gave the be-quiet signal. "So how's coach?" Boris asked. "Like hell, only you get crappy air jets," Fisher replied. "So, he lives to tell the tale," Gage said. "That's right Gage, now pay up!" Inferno said. "I still say it's not official until he lands in the airport," Gage replied, paying Inferno. Fisher was about to reply, when a cross flight attendant stopped by his seat. "May I see your ticket, please?" She asked. "I know it looks like I snuck up here, but I really was SUPPOSED to be here! They just botched the seats!" Fisher yelled, but he was already being dragged back to coach.
"NO! I DON'T WANNA GO BACK! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE BACK THERE!" When he saw the flight attendant wasn't listening, he turned to Boris, Gage, and Inferno. "TELL THE WORLD! TELL THEM MY STORY!" Fisher yelled, and with a final heave, he was shoved into coach. "Did Fisher just try to break into first class?" Brodi said, snapping out of his trance/sleep. "Yup. Now we DEFFINATELY got to rub it in," Oni said. "Look sharp, people. We'll be landing shortly," Rick said.

"Rick- can we never ride planes again?" Fisher asked as he stepped into the terminal. "Sorry Fisher. Not up to me. But you guys should head over to baggage claim and get your stuff- we got a lot to do today," Rick said. "Come, comrades! Let us mosey over that way!" Ryuki said. "From man to hyper child with 2 cans of soda," Oni muttered. Ryuki, who was experiencing a massive sugar rush, sprinted over the baggage claim and grabbed his bag. Soon, everyone had their bags, save a very impatient Inferno. "THAT'S IT!" He yelled, as he clambered up the conveyer belt to the small hole where the baggage came out of. "What are you doing, Inferno?" Lilo asked. "Looking for my baggage!" Inferno said. He started to crawl head first into the hole, when suddenly the conveyer belt caught the edge of his jacket.
"Hey guys! I'm stuck!" Inferno yelled. "Well, have you found your bags?" Lorelei asked. "Yeah, but I can't move!" Inferno replied. "Maybe this button does something?" Alexia asked, pressing a small button on the side of the terminal. Suddenly, the conveyer belt started pulling Inferno into the hole. "Uh. guys!? A little help?" Inferno yelled. "Is there another button?" Nick asked. "Nah," Alexia said. "Maybe the baggage claim terminal has been infected with a strange virus that requires it to feed on the blood of living things," Ryuki said. Everyone stared at him. "Sorry, I guess I've been playing to much Resident Evil," Ryuki said. "Oh yeah! That game rocks! But do you know where I can find the rocket launcher?" Shadow asked.
"HEY! SOME OF US ARE BEING EATEN BY A BAGGAGE CLAIM TERMINAL OVER HERE!" Inferno yelled. "If we don't do something, Inferno may be on the flight to Hawaii," Gage said. "Then our task is clear- we must rid the world of the Baggage claim menace once and for all!" Fisher said. He ran up and started pulling Inferno out of the hole. "Help...me... too..out..of..shape.." Fisher said, tugging Inferno with all his might. "Alright, I'm coming," Gage said, as he began to pull on Fisher. Their combined efforts were not enough, however, as the conveyer belt started to suck all three of them in. "Ok, here comes Mr. Muscle," Boris said, as he grabbed Gage by his legs and began to pull. Slowly, the machine started to give as smoke billowed out from the hole.
"SIRS! PLEASE GET OFF THE TERMINAL!" an employee yelled, noticing the large crowd forming around the baggage claim terminal. "We can't! our friend's stuck!" Boris yelled. "What do you mean- OH MY GOD!" She yelled, noticing the human chain. "If we don't do something, he'll be stuck!" Fisher screamed. "But if you keep pulling, the machine will over heat!" The employee bellowed. "Maybe we should use equilibrium!" Ryuki shouted. "SOUNDS GREAT! What the hell is it?" Alex asked. "Well, I think it when we stick a Librium to Inferno and a Librium to the machine.." Ryuki muttered. "We need some Libriums, STAT!" Shadow bellowed. No one moved. "Do I have to do EVERYTHING?!" Oni yelled, clambering onto the terminal. She reached into the hole, felt around, and tugged Inferno's jacket off. Inferno flew backwards, and soon Boris, Gage, Fisher and Inferno were a pile of flesh on the floor. But the terminal had already overheated, and with a mighty shake, flames burst out of the hole.
"That looked expensive." Nick said. Fisher started to do a victory dance as Boris yelled, "Ladies and Gentlemen! You no longer have to live in fear of the Baggage claim menace!" he bellowed. "I had an Armani suit in there!" one person yelled. "And I had extremely important files in my bag!" another screamed. Soon, the crowd of people was yelling about their valuables lost in the flames. "Inferno- how many people does it take to form an angry mob?" Gage asked. "I'd say about ten, if they were angry enough," Inferno replied. "Well, how many do we have?" Gage asked. "Well, let's see: One, two three..." Fisher said as he started counting the people. "I lost count at 35.." Nick said. "Well, boys- when the going gets tough, the tough run like there was a fire in their pants," Gage said.
Needless to say, they were on the road pretty fast. "So- what's our first stop?" Boris asked. "Well, Rick said we got to stop in the town for check in and stuff. Then we can go sight seeing," Mac said. "But what about the race?" Nick asked. "Snow dream is a lit course. All events are held at night," Zoe said. Soon, the airline limousines entered a town dominated by a large mountain. "Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to Snowdream!" Brodi yelled. As they stepped off the limos, they were greeted by an onslaught of fans, many of which brandished posters of Kaori. "I have a funny feeling that Kaori is the favorite here." Gage said. "Well, this is her home country, and she seems to be the fantasy of every fan boy......" Inferno muttered (A/N: The sad part: she IS).
"Wait a minute- we have fans?" Boris asked, sounding a little dumbfounded. "Damn straight. Do you think I do this for the insanely generous paychecks?!" Eddie asked as he waved to the crowd. "Oh Gage- looks like some one's FOND of you," Inferno said, gesturing to a poster of Gage with a heart around it. "Ooh- Moochas Smooches for La ConKISStador!" Lilo said. "Hey- They have posters of me!" Inferno said. "Humph. No taste," Nick said, smiling coyly when Inferno glared at him. "Hey! There's a poster with me on it!" Fisher yelled. "You were expecting to not have fans?" Elise asked. "But..this is astronomical! No one EVER thought I was cool!" Fisher yelled. He grew so compelled that he even through them his hat. "Fisher- wasn't that your lucky hat?" Shadow asked. "OH SNAP!" Fisher yelled, and started to make his way through the fans. "FISHER! WE NEED TO REGISTAR! DOES ITENIRARY MEAN NOTHING TO YOU?!" Rick roared.
"Do you want an honest answer? If I'm not back in five minutes, uh. wait longer!" Fisher yelled back. "Why do I get the feeling we may never see him again?" Nick asked as they watched Fisher make his way through the crowd. "Relax. They're only a legion of die-hard SSX fans. What could they do?" Oni asked. By the time Fisher returned, he was clad only in his underwear, hat, and boots. He hugged his board close as he shivered. "Yo, Fisher! What did they do?!" Mac asked, barely controlling his laughter. "They made me trade my clothes for my hat.." Fisher said, sounding dazed. "Jeez, they're like piranha," Lilo said, looking at the fans greedily clutching their prizes. "What's up-" Lorelei said, catching Fisher's form full blast. "That's a lot more of Fisher than I wanted to know about..." She said, covering her eyes. "Forgive me while I poke my eyes out with sharpened sticks," Oni said. "Don't give me that! You KNOW Adonis (A/N: Favored of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love for you uncultured swine! [A/N: Just Kidding!]) Doesn't have ANYHTING on me!" He said, flexing his arms.
"You can put them away, hot shot. There aren't any cows to impress here," Elise said. Fisher blushed, and quickly hid behind his board. All the boarders laughed, guffawed, snorted, whatever and made their way to their rooms. "Where's everyone going?" Boris asked. "Silly Boris-kun! Big race tonight!" Kaori said bouncing off. Boris turned scarlet. "Better rest up- Any of us could be selected," Alexia said. "A nap sounds good. That plane ride made me sleepy," Ryuki said, stumbling into his room.. "Pleasant Snow dreams," Shadow replied.
ALRIGHT! WHO THOUGHT THAT ENDING WAS WEAK!? *Everyone raises their hand* well, then. Uh. I guess wait until next chapter for the Snow dream competition. So until then, stay frosty, folks.
"I never knew first class was this cool," Gage said, sipping his root beer float. "Yeah- it's like they save all the good stuff for this place: good food, good movies, hot flight attendants."
