Chapter 2: Starting Out

Shadow POV

We were at our living quarters. We had two rooms. "Well, 'captain' it's your choice. Who's going to room with who?" Blaze asked as she set down a large purple duffel bag.

I looked at her, then at Luigi and Bowser Jr. "Uh, I guess Luigi and Bowser Jr. can room together and uh… Blaze you can room with me since we don't have any other girls."

Blaze scoffed and picked up her purple duffel bag again and started walking toward one of the doors to the rooms. "Better get some privacy," she muttered. Before following her I glanced at Luigi and Bowser Jr. They were giving each other death looks.

I frowned. "You guys better not kill each other," I grumbled as I straightened the strap of my own black duffel bag on my shoulder.

Luigi looked away as he grabbed his bag. "I won't. As long as he doesn't pull any tricks."

Bowser Jr. smirked as he grabbed his orange bag with green straps. "I'll try my hardest!" They walked through the door on the left and I watched them go. I heavily sighed and after they had gone and walked through the door that Blaze had walked through earlier.

The room was very large in both height, length, and width. There were two Queen sized beds and both had four cushy pillows and yellow and green comforters that matched the walls. Blaze's purple duffel was already on one of the beds and it had been left open. The walls were yellow and the windows had dark green curtains covering them for privacy. There was one window that looked out over the frozen landscape of snow and a large flat screen TV stood against a wall in front of the two beds. A dark green door with a shiny knob opened next to me and Blaze walked out of the bathroom wearing purple striped pajamas.

She shrugged her shoulders innocently. "What? I took the opportunity while you were gone to have some privacy. We've got to get to bed soon anyways. We're waking up at 6:00 AM you know!"

My eyes looked at the clock that was on a table in the middle of the two beds. 7:56 PM it read. "Its only 8 PM," I told her as I walked over to the other bed that Blaze hadn't claimed.

"Training starts tomorrow and we need a good rest," Blaze replied. She pulled her duffel off of her bed and placed it on the ground. Then she hopped into her bed, pulled the covers over her and flicked off the light next to her bed. "Good night."

This was going to be a long 16 days.


Day 2

Someone was shaking my shoulder, hard. "Wake up Shadow! Do you WANT to miss breakfast?" It was Blaze.

My eyes flew open and I quickly sat up. I rubbed my head in confusion. "What time is it?"

Blaze put her hands on her hips. "Already past breakfast. Lucky for you I grabbed you a piece of bread. Bobsleigh training is in twenty minutes. Be downstairs in five."

She tossed a single slice of toast at me, then stormed out. It took a couple minutes before I realized what Blaze had told me. I jumped out of my bed and started getting ready.


Third Person POV

Shadow flew down the stairs in a flurry of feet. Blaze, Luigi, and Bowser Jr. were all waiting in the lobby and Blaze smiled when Shadow got there. "You made it!"

Shadow ran his gloved hand through his black fur on the back of his head. "Wouldn't miss it," he replied.

"We were just talking to our managers."

Shadow raised an eyebrow. "Who?"

Blaze stepped to the side to reveal a small yellow rabbit and one of those tiny men at the ceremony the day before. "Our managers."

The small yellow rabbit smiled at Shadow and waved to him. "Hi Shadow!" she greeted excitedly.

Shadow held his head in his hands. "Help me."


Shadow's POV

The car stopped at a large building. "We're here!" the tiny man who was driving who's name I learned was Toad said.

We all filed out of the car and into the building. We received our bobsleigh and got in position. "I'll sit first, Luigi second, Blaze third, and Bowser Jr. you're last."

Bowser Jr. groaned and I shot him a glare. He immediately quieted down. According to Cream and Toad we had to collect 20 coins to be able to pass training.

We collected about 26 coins, giving me small hope that we might be able to do this.


Then we went to Whistler Creek and completed the Alpine Downhill Skiing training, but just barely. Blaze didn't leap off at the end of the slide at the right time, she tumbled down in a mass of flying snow.

"What was that?" I taunted.

She glared at me, fire dancing in her eyes. "I lost my footing."

"Did you?"

She glared at me again. "Yes. I did." She turned around and started making her way back up the hill via stairs.

"I thought I was the captain?" I called after her.

"You are," she called back. "Just not at this moment."

We all went through it again, despite my protests. And this time Blaze went farther than all of us.

After training she smirked. "Just lost my footing," she repeated. And I watched as jumped back into the black car that was transporting us back to our living quarters.


So what did you think? I hope you liked it! :3
