hi. writing new story. read please.

Thorne was jittering with excitement. He was going to go to Tahoe with his friends. His friends being Scarlet, Wolf, Cress, and some doctor from Luna who he worked with. Their name was Roise. He didn't consider them as a friend though. Ever since he was a kid he went to Tahoe, now, for his job, he got to go. Best thing was that in a week was Christmas! And it was snowing in Tahoe! He was almost as excited as he was as a little kid.

So, what Thorne had planned out was a little break from work. They were almost finished giving out the antidote for California, they just needed to do Tahoe. Cinder also said that they could have a week break because of the holidays. She said she was too, even though Cinder never celebrated Christmas before. Thorne almost was angry at her that she didn't, she just responded saying only two percent of the Commonwealth celebrated it. She probably only remembered that because of the computer in her head.

Anyways, Thorne was planning out a surprise vacation for all his friends. They were going to pass out the antidote, then he was going to tell them that they had vacation. He just didn't know where they were going to stay. That's where he told Scarlet about it.

"So, you said your family owned two cabins in Tahoe." Scarlet was saying while looking at her port.

"Yeah, so?" Thorne responded. Then it occurred to him. "We're not staying with my family. They hate me so much."

"Now that you're pardoned, they probably don't hate you. Also, one of their cabins they're renting out for the holidays." She showed him it on her port. "They are also doing it for really cheap. We take this chance, Christmas is in a week and in a few days even the hotels will be full."

"Well, my family still hates me for stealing from them. I know it." Thorne said.

"You stole from your family?" She shook her head, "Whatever, if the big baby doesn't want to see his family for a few minutes, then I'll go met them. I'll say it's just me, Wolf, Cress, and Roise."

"Fine," He agreed. "Get that cabin!"

"You know this is really romantic of you," Scarlet said while pressing her port.

"Why?"

"Your girlfriend's never seen the snow, she'll probably start crying." Scarlet responded, and she was right. Cress has never seen the snow. She probably didn't know that Tahoe had snow, Thorne was awesome.

"Wolf hasn't either," Thorne pointed out.

"Oh yeah," She laughed. "We're going to be the best partners ever."

Scarlet just came out of the pharmacy, she was giving the antidotes to the pharmacy, she could do it alone because there wasn't a lot of sick people in Tahoe. Right now it was Thorne's job to keep Wolf and Cress in a room of the Rampion without windows. Scarlet told Rosie about what they were doing and she left to do her own Christmas stuff.

Right now Scarlet was walking to cabin, it wasn't too far away from the snowy field the Rampion was in. The cabin had two stories and was right to the woods. When she reached it, she went to the door and knocked.

Almost immediately a couple that looked in their mid fifties, opened the door. The woman had short, dark hair with sparkling blue eyes like Thorne. The man looked just like an older Thorne, but had less popping blue eyes.

"Oh, hi, you must be Scarlet." The woman said while she extended her hand. Scarlet shakes it. "I'm Holly and this is my husband Arthur."

They then showed Scarlet the cabin. It was a very nice place, it had a small kitchen, a living room, a dinning room that was connected to the kitchen, a living room, two bedrooms, and a loft with three beds. While they were giving the tour, though, she swore she saw Arthur observing her, which she found creepy.

When they were done she scanned her wrist on their port, so she could pay for the cabin. She told them that she was going to get her friends, after they scanned her wrist again so that she could get into the cabin and the back door.

When Scarlet was about to leave Arthur stopped her. "Wait, were you the one who helped saved Luna?"

"Yes," She responded while turning back around to face them.

"I thought I recognized you." She nodded, many people did recognize them. "Do you Carswell Thorne, he helped too."

"Yeah, we're really good friends." She smiled, and saw Holly smile too. They were probably his parents.

"Can you tell him we forgive him, you probably know, he has a crime record. We're his parents." Holly asked, a pleading look in her eyes.

"Sure," Scarlet responded, then she silently apologized to Thorne for what she did next. They forgave him, she needed to do it. "You know, he's going to stay at this cabin too. He's only a mile away, you can stay and say hi to him. We'll be back soon." She already regretted it.
