Ever After

(Disclaimer: I don't own SSX 3 or anything the company owns. If I did, I would put cute cut scenes of Kaori and Mac.)

Summary: It's been 3 years since Kaori retired form SSX 3. Why? No one know's! She is now a famous author all over the world known as Tokiko Suzuzuno, but lately she's been having a horrible writers block. So she decides to go to Nyuto Onsen. A lovely hot spring resort. What happens when the SSX goes there for their next tournament? Emotions will fly! (Most likely Mac's and Kaori's.)

"Blah, blah, blah." Talking

Blah, blah, blah. Thinking

Chapter 1

"Masaka!" Kaori yelled as she bursted through her front apartment doors. The 22 year old women flopped head first onto her fluffy couch, and started to make small whining sounds. "I told you so." A voice said behind her. Kaori lifted her head and laid on the side just barely being able to see the person's legs and hem of a business skirt.

"Michiko-san, I really don't want to hear it." Kaori said softly near the brink of tears. Her closest friend/ Editor just "Humph!"-ed.

Kaori slowly sat up just enough space for Michiko to sit down. "You really haven't been yourself lately. Doushita?" Kaori looked up at Michiko. "What do you mean? I've been just fine." Kaori stated. "Well lets see," Michiko began. "You've been really depressed, your started to lose weight, and fast! You won't answer your usual fan mail, I've seen you watch the snow out side for hours, and your recent book was just rejected for the 3rd time this year." Kaori groaned.

She had hoped that Michiko hadn't noticed. She looked at her best friend with tiredness in her eyes. Michiko's face softened. "Listen, Kaori-chan? Howa 'bout you take a long rested vacation. Hmm? I hear Nyuto Onsen is just kirei this year." Michiko said with delight.

A smile appeared on Kaori's lips. I do need a vacation. Maybe this could be my lucky break. She looked up at Michiko's curious face. "Yoshi." Kaori replied. Michiko smiled, but then went back to her normal business like self. She cleared her throat and stood up. "Okay then Miss Suzuzuno, the closest amount of time you have to pack is one week. Your flight will leave on Saturday the 8."

All of this took Kaori by surprise. "Chotto matte! You mean you had this all ready planned out!" Kaori asked. Before Michiko walked out the door, she turned around and gave Kaori a friendly wink. "Well if I didn't, you would be miserable for the rest of the season." She opened the door, and walked out.

For the first time in 3 years, Kaori laughed.
