Cloe's POV

"Remember," Aunt Cass warned Hiro and I for the millionth time, "watch out for trees, don't go more than 45 miles per hour," she glared at Hiro, "and stay together. Hiro, that means you have to stay with your sister, got it?"

Hiro nodded excitedly. He was just as ready to go as I was. Today was the day he was going to teach me to snowboard.

Of course, it wasn't my first time. We'd snowboarded a couple times at home- down the stairs.

We got in so much trouble...

Hiro and I took our snowboards, and ran to the lift. We got on, and waited until we reached the top. Then Hiro showed me how to move with my snowboard.

Then he took off.

He went halfway down the trail, and turned to face me. "Okay, come on Clo! It's really easy!"

"If you say so!" I called back.

I started down the trail.

Snowboarding was really easy once I got the hang of it. I made it down to Hiro pretty quickly.

"Wow, you learn fast!" he laughed. "Come on, let's keep going! I'll show you some more stuff."

A few days later

"COME ON HIRO!" I yelled, half pulling my brother to the lift with me. "WE'RE GONNA GO SNOWBOARDING!"

I was learning really quickly, and today Hiro said he was going to take me to the jump park! Which is awesome! We can do tricks, and flips, and jumps, and go off ramps and- I'M SO EXCITED!

We started down the trail.

"Is this the park?" I asked Hiro.

"No."

"How about now?"

"No."

"Now?"

"Still no."

"Oh..." I waited a minute. "Now?"

"See the gates?"

I looked ahead of us. There was a wooden arch, and beyond that, another section.

"Yeah."

"That's it."

Hiro started down. He hit the first jump, and went flying, he landed, and beckoned. Excitedly, I came after him. I hit the first ramp pretty well, and slid off it.

And fell on my face.

Immediately, Hiro took off his snowboard, and ran to me.

"Clo! Are you alright?"

"Fine..." I got back up. "Let's keep going."

Hiro got his snowboard back on, and we kept going down the mountain.

Hiro hit another jump. I followed. Then shrieked as my feet left the ground. I kept shrieking until I landed, and fell again.

"Not bad..." Hiro said. He was laughing. "Come on, let's go back to Aunt Cass. Race you down the mountain!"

We both took off, going as fast as we could.

We reached the bottom. Hiro skidded to a stop, and I fell again.

"That was awesome! We were probably going, like, 50!" I laughed.

"Fifty?!"

I looked up.

"Hi Aunt Cass..." Hiro said awkwardly.

"Hiro Hamada, what were you thinking, taking your little sister, who has never been on a snowboard before, through the jump park?! She could have hurt herself!" She turned to me. "Cloe, you're alright?"

I nodded. "Yep!'

"Good." She glanced at Hiro. "Next time, your sister picks the trails, not you."

The next day I picked the jump park.

And we both got grounded from snowboarding for the next few days.
