Disclaimer: I don't own anything Gravitation

A/N: Thanks for everyone who reviewed to 'Come With Me'. This one takes place in winter, so I don't have to write one in December and yet I can enjoy it. CHRISTMAS IN JULY! Kinda. Anywho, here's the sequel for ya!

Chapter 1: SURPRISED?

"Explain this to me one more time," Shuichi asked from the back of the car.

It was late November and snow was everywhere. Not to mention they were driving along bumpy roads to some vacation place. K had explained it to him once already, but he wasn't really paying attention.

"I'm getting sick of this," Hiro said. "Shuichi, don't you remember by now?"

-Flashback-

Shuichi, Suguru, and Hiro all sat in the waiting room. Shuichi was skimming through the TV channels, Suguru was reading a magazine, and Hiro was strumming his guitar. K had kept them after rehearsal for God knows what reason and they've been sitting in the same spot for the last half hour.

However, his entrance was evident when the door broke down.

"BIG NEWS!"

Peeking out from underneath the sofa, Shuichi sighed. It was only Mr. K. Again.

"Big enough news to scare the hell out of us?" remarked Hiro.

"Yup," the trigger happy American held up a brochure which Suguru took from him.

"A ski resort?"

"That's right! BAD LUCK, Nittle Grasper, and two other music bands have won a winter vacation at a remote ski resort!"

Shuichi and Hiro walked up and looked at the brochure. They then half-lowered their eyes and glanced up at K.

"Won?" they said in unison.

"I entered you when I saw it two months ago."

"WHO SAID YOU COULD ENTER US!"

"Tohma," his features flooded with prided victory.

"Damn Tohma," mumbled Shuichi.

"Well, I guess it could be nice," Suguru took the brochure from Hiro. "Although, I've never been skiing before."

"What better time than the present?"

"Alright. When do we leave?"

"In one week!" K strode out the door.

The others just stared as he disappeared.

"Oh, and one more thing," K said as he poked his head back in. "Each band is allowed to invite one person and I already sent the letter to Yuki since Nittle Grasper already invited me."

Then he left.

-End Flashback-

"Remember?"

"Oh, yeah," Shuichi blushed. "So who're the other two bands again?"

"MASK and SHAMELESS,"K was even beginning to get annoyed.

He was driving (A/N: a van), Yuki was right next to him; Suguru, Hiro, and Shuichi were behind him, and in the back seat and trunk of the van sat their bags. Tohma, Noriko, and Ryuichi were all riding in another car.

"Ah, there we are!" Everyone looked ahead at the sound of K's voice.

In front of them was a gorgeous scene of snowy mountains. And at the bottom, all snug and quiet, were two rather large and roomy-looking houses.

"Wow. That's some resort," Hiro gave a small whistle.

"That's because it's for celebrities only. They're building more around the mountains as this contest becomes more popular."

Ten minutes later they were all unpacked and walked into one of the large mansions.

"Wow," the word echoed throughout the space.

There was a huge kitchen, huge living room, huge bathroom, a huge chandelier in the huge dining room (which is right next to the huge hallway when you walk in the door). The kitchen was on the same side of the dining room and the living room and bathroom were located on the other side of the hallway. Finally, at the end of the hallway were two sets of stairs.

They ascended the stairs to another hallway with four rooms on each side. Each room had the same thing: a big bed, (about 5 feet from the foot of the bed was:) 2 steps descending into a small circle in the center of the room that had a round, circulating table that you could spin. Positioned into the first step was a VERY comfortable couch. The couch was elevated enough so you could easily enjoy the TV, DVD player, VCR, and surround sound system straight across.

But the table was also high enough so anyone sitting on the couch or floor around the table could easily enjoy any snacks on it. The closet was roomy and each room had a small, private bathroom connected to it, although there was no shower. (A/N: You have no idea how much I wish I had this kind of house).

"I guess there's no need to call rooms," they all sweat dropped at Shuichi's remark before each settling into a room.

Not too long afterwards, the three famous members of Nittle Grasper entered. Tohma and Noriko were awed, while Ryuichi was absolutely ecstatic. They waited till the singer had calmed down before heading over to their own rooms.

After unpacking their entire luggage they proceeded to wonder around the place. Shuichi had just passed a window when he stopped and backed up. The house across had all their lights on. Not very reasonable seeing as it was 5:00 PM. Yuki came up behind him and stared out the window as well.

"Something about that twin house interest you?"

"No, I just forgot that we would be here with others," he looked up at Yuki. "Think they're nice?"

His reply was a sigh. "Who knows, who cares?" he then walked off as Noriko announced she had just finished dinner.

Heaving a heavy sigh, Shuichi followed. And so the group enjoyed a lovely meal of ramen noodles before going to the top of the mountain to test out the slopes.

- - -

The mountain activities of each individual are listed in the following:

Skiing: Shuichi, Suguru, Tohma, Noriko, Ryuichi, K, and Yuki.

Snowboarding: Hiro.

"You've done this before?" Shuichi asked Hiro.

"A few times over winter break at school."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!" K pushed off and shot down the slope.

Suguru followed, then Ryuichi, Tohma, and Noriko. Hiro was waiting for Shuichi and Yuki to go, Yuki was waiting for Shuichi, and Shuichi was paralyzed with fear.

"Are you gonna go?" Hiro asked.

Shuichi shook his head. "Can't move. Too scared."

Yuki drummed his fingers on his ski pole. He was getting annoyed. His patience finally vanished.

"Go!" he lifted on ski and gave Shuichi a good kick on the rump.

"Aaaahhhhh!" Shuichi zoomed down the slope.

"Wow, good kick," Hiro smirked and both he and Yuki pushed down the slope.

"What a wuss," was all Yuki said.

The said wuss was still screaming as he swerved uncontrollably. He quieted down some as he started to get control. Once that was accomplished he looked down at his feet attempting to keep them together. It took a few pushes but he finally got out of the painful spread eagle.

"HA!" he looked up in time to make face-to-bark contact with a low branch.

"OW! DAMN!" he (stupidly) lifted one hand (ski pole in hand) and ran his glove across his nose.

He then held up his hand to find blood.

"Oh, that's just great," it then occurred to him that he was swerving. He looked ahead to see a huge boulder.

"Aaahhh!" he swerved and dodged it, only to have another boulder in front of him.

"AAAHHH!" swerve, dodge, boulder, swerve, dodge, boulder, swerve, dodge, boulder.

He then came to a point where the boulders were much closer. He swerved one and his head hit another. A branched then whacked him in the face, causing him to swerve into a boulder, popping his back.

"OW!" but was that enough for ol' Shuichi? No, siree!

Eventually he came to a point where it was narrow path that was lined by boulders on each side. Needless to say, his head had plenty of bumps when he came out of that.

However, when he finally did come out of that, he came to another obstacle of snow waves.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

He finally got control and eventually started to ride them like a pro. Once he was off them, he once again (stupidly) looked behind him, wearing a victorious grin. When he looked back in front of him, he found an icy ramp.

"OH!" he went off it flying about 15 feet in the air.

Landing in the following spread eagle would've earned him some original points in the Olympics.

- - -

Hiro turned to the side, slowing then stopping his snowboard. Yuki did the same. The others were already at the finish line and looked a bit confused when they didn't see Shuichi.

"Where's Shuichi?" asked Ryuichi.

"The moron swerved onto the professional's course," was all Yuki said as he went to the finishing line for that course.

The others followed.

- - -

"When will it end?" Shuichi was bruised, his mid section was killing him, and he had plenty of snow in his clothes and bumps on his head to look like a snow monster.

His answer came when he saw a sign. Upon closer inspection he saw it read:

'Finish line up ahead'

"YES!" he looked up at the biggest wooden, iced-over ramp he'd ever seen.

"NO!"

- - -

Everyone looked up at the familiar panicked scream just in time to see Shuichi slide onto the huge ramp, and fly off.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" the singer spun around in the air like a clown.

"SHUICHI!" Hiro called.

"Where's a camera when you need it?" K said.

"What a Kodak moment," added Noriko.

Their heads move in sync as the followed the boy going up 200 feet in the air and going down 200 feet.

WOOMPFH!

Shuichi landed in a huge pile of snow 10 feet away from the finish line. The others rushed over to him. All that proved Shuichi was in there were the two legs sticking half way out the top and a hand sticking out the side. Yuki couldn't repress a smirk. He had no idea how he fell for this clod.

"Shuichi? Are you OK?" Hiro asked.

A muffled groan.

- - -

Shuichi closed the door to his bathroom and threw on a pair of pajamas. As he reached for the light switch, he heard music. Closing his eyes, he listened to see which direction it was coming from. He found the source at the window. Apparently the music was from the house across from this one. He couldn't hear much. They were obviously trying to be quiet.

Well, at least they're having fun, he thought to himself as he closed the window. He then hopped into his bed and fell asleep.

"Shuichi," someone was saying his name. He wasn't sure who it was, just that it was a guy.

"Shuichi," they cooed.

The voice was behind him, so he barely opened one eye and looked at the clock next to him. 7:27 AM. He closed his eyes.

"Shuichi," they cooed again.

Shuichi still didn't know who was behind him, and at this point he didn't care. Whoever it was, they were fixing to be kicked in their balls for waking him up at this ungodly hour.

"Shuichi. You need to get up," the voice was strained.

Yeah, and you need to shut up.

He then heard a click. It sounded familiar. VERY familiar. Like a gun. …..oh shit.

"I tried to be nice, but your time is up," Mr. K once again got the 'Terminator' voice going as he counted down from 5.

Shuichi knew the routine, he needed a funny answer. Kind of hard to be funny when your life is at stake, but his life was at stake.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP! IT LIVES! SHUICHI SHINDOU IS READY TO KICK ASS AND NOTHAVESOMEPSYCHOTICTRIGGERHAPPYAMERICANBLOWHISHEADOFFATSEVENTHIRTYINTHEMORNINGWHILEHEISONVACATION!"

About fifteen seconds of silence passed between them.

"Nope, not funny enough."

"Oh, come on! YOU'RE HOLDING ME AT GUNPOINT! BESIDES IT SEVEN THIRTY IN THE MORNING AND I HAVEN'T EVEN GOTTEN MY COFFEE YET! MY BRAIN'S NOT READY!"

"Then I guess you should get used to waking up this early on your own!"

"BUT-,"

"WILL THE TWO OF YOU SHUT UP? I DON'T NEED THIS SHIT THIS EARLY! IF YOU CAN'T WAKE HIM UP QUIETLY, DON'T BOTHER WAKING HIM UP!" Yuki's voice exploded from downstairs.

"No sense of humor," K put away his gun, but Shuichi was still frozen in shock from the eruption.

"Oh, and breakfast's ready," the American left the room.

-10 MINUTES LATER-

Shuichi descended the stairs into the dining room where everybody was already eating. He took a seat and looked down. Ramen.

He looked up.

"I'm trying to get rid of it," was all Noriko said.

She's married to a chef dude and this is all she can come up with? Sighing, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat his 'breakfast'.

He then looked across the table out the glass sliding doors and blinked. In the middle of the yard was a pretty big snowman.

"Who made Frosty?" everyone looked up at him, then out the doors as well.

"Who did make the snowman?" Tohma's replies were all 'not me'.

Putting down his ramen, Shuichi put on his coat and tied his shoes. Also curious, Suguru did the same. The two walked out onto the porch. It appeared to be the back of the house because the front didn't have a long wooden porch and a little roof overhead.

The others all lined up on the porch, ramen in hand, and watched. There was something odd about that snowman. Shuichi and Suguru walked up to it, tapping it, brushing it, and examining it.

"Maybe one of the other bands made it while we were sleeping," Ryuichi suggested.

"Or maybe some crazy fan made it for us with a video camera inside," was K's suggestion.

The others nodded. Stepping to one side, Shuichi crossed his arms and stared at it.

"Should we leave it there or knock it down?" asked Suguru, coming up beside him.

"Let's knock it down!" was the pink haired boy's answer.

Just as he was about to strike, the snowman lurched its arms and roared. "GOT CHA!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Shrieking like girls, Shuichi and Suguru blindly took off away from the monster with tremendous speed.

The others froze, eyes bulging as they watched the snowman proceed in chasing the screeching duo. It was like two cartoon characters being chased back and forth across the screen by a predator.

To add to the surprise and shock of a moving, carnivorous snowman, two snowballs came towards the group. One hitting K, the other hitting Hiro, both making contact with the left side of the face.

"Ow!" the two, along with others looked to the left at the other house. Comfortably seated on the back porch were two girls, one with long black hair and piercing green eyes, the other with blonde hair and soft blue eyes.

Kyra and Terra stood on the porch, waving. In the doors behind them the group could make out Sano and Kyo, looking out at the scene. The two, along with Yuki, could only stare in shock for a few seconds. That is before that state was broken by a rather loud, nuclear bomb-sounding scream.

"MY GOD, IT'S LIKE AN EVIL FROSTY THE SNOWMAN!" the said evil Frosty the Snowman nearly grabbed the two when they suddenly took off like bats out of Hell.

Missing the target, the snowman slipped, fell and…..broke. This revealed…..a body. The figure stood, laughing like crazy. They were wearing all black (jacket, vest, pants, boots), including a black mask with goggles over the eyes. From the looks of it, the person was a girl.

After calming the hysterics, the girl removed the goggles and the mask to reveal short red hair and blue eyes. Josie calmly waved at the rest of the group, smirking like a fool. The two bands and guests all sweat dropped at the ridiculously childish prank.

Shuichi and Suguru stopped at the sudden silence and looked back. Their already blood-shot eyes bulged. Josie noticed them and waved to them too. Suguru gave a small wave back. Shuichi fainted.

If you're wondering why this is being reposted it's because for some retarded reason I could post chapter 11 and one of my author friends suggested I remove it then repost it so hopefully this works. While I'm at it I'm gonna edit it and change some things. Nothing drastic I assure you. Sorry about this – but I'll have 11 up in no time.

Well, there's the first chapter. I was in an accident-prone humorous mood when I wrote this chapter, if you can't already tell. Anyway, I wanted to add Kyra and co. in this chapter, but I didn't want to do it so quickly. You see, originally, the skiing scene wasn't in there. But I felt creative and had plenty of time, so I said 'What the heck? Let's give him a work out!'

As for the spread eagles, MAN did I have fun with those! But I'm sure that's evident. As for the snowman scene, I had that idea in December of 2003 but had no idea how to put in a story, so what better story than this?

PLEASE R&R!
