Let's Go Skiing
Disclaimer: I don't own Digimon. Toei Animation does (thanks for telling me^-^)!
Jenashu: So, here we are; day two of the ski trip. I know, I know, it took me forever to get with it, but my interests go through phases. For a few days, I can't stop reading. Then I'm addicted to drawing. Next, I can't stop playing video games. Soon, I'm always web-surfing. Now I'm writing again. You might have noticed that all of my stories pop up at once, and this is the reason. Anyway, things get interesting now as the Digidestineds first step into their ski boots...

Day Two
"No.No way! You're joking! THAT'S THE BUNNY HILL?!" Joe shouted as Tai showed him the Green Slopes. Izzy frowned.
"I-it IS rather intimidating, isn't it?" he said with a gulp.
"Don't worry about it. There's a steep part near the bottom, but that's all you have to worry about. Oh, try to not plough into anyone, either." Tai said. Sora frowned.
"Well, where are they holding the lessons?" she asked.
"Over there!" Jen said, pointing towards a roped-off area. "That must be it." She tried to walk on the skies, but they were too heavy. Then she tried sliding one foot and then the other. That didn't work too well, so she used her ski polls to move herself up.
"Is that the ski instructor?" Mimi asked in excitement as they neared the area for ski lessons. A rather attractive teenage boy stood waiting for them there.
"I hope so..." Sora said with a smile. Jen gawked at him and then pretended that she hadn't.
Izzy and Joe looked rather bitter by the time everyone had lined up.
"Oh!" Jen said as she started moving backwards. "Who put this hill here? Help, I'm moving the wrong way!" she exclaimed. She bent her knees and fell over.
"Are you okay?" the ski instructor asked. He pulled Jen up again.
"Yes...Thank you." she said. Izzy frowned deeply.
"Hey, everyone. As you might've noticed, you can't hope to ski against the force of gravity. So, you have to sidestep." he said as he demonstrated. Everyone awkwardly followed his lead, and many people fell over. When everyone was in line and ready, the lesson started.
"HEY SORA! JEN!" someone shouted about halfway through the lesson. They looked up to see Tai and Matt on the ski lift. Tai stuck his toungue out at them; he knew that Jen couldn't wait to get up there. Sora grabbed some snow, twisted it into a snowball, and hurled it at Tai. It hit him directly in the face with a loud PLOP!
"Excuse me, the lesson's over. Good luck skiing." the instructor said. Sora and Jen gawked at him and looked around. Izzy, Joe, and Mimi were the only ones left waiting for them. They didn't seem to want to move. Finally, Jen pushed off and started skiing right towards a rope. She gasped and ducked. Luckily for her, she glided right under it. Unluckily for her, Izzy made it too (without ducking at all-being short can be helpful, it seems) and slammed right into her.
"Oh, ow!" Jen exclaimed. "Watch it, Izzy!".
"I-I-I'm sorry! I'm so sorry, Jen!" he said as he struggled to get on his feet. "Gese, I can't get up!"
"I'm stuck, too!" Jen exclaimed. The ski instructor came towards them, and, through his laughter, managed to lift them up.
"Thanks again. I'm sorry to be a bother." Jen said before she skiied off. Izzy just nodded and mumbled under his breath as he followed Jen.
"So, what do you guys say? Should we go for it now?" Sora asked as she looked at the Bunny Hill. Everyone shared awkward glances.
"I'm hungry and cold. Let's eat now and ski later, okay?" Mimi proposed. That sounded like a good idea to everyone, but they found themselves in the same situation after lunch.
"Okay, let's take this one step at a time..." Joe started. No sooner had the words come out of his mouth then Matt showed up and pushed him down the hill.
"Matt! That was cruel! Who knows what'll happen!" Mimi exclaimed.
"Relax! As long as he doesn't crash into someone (or something), he'll be perfectly fine! Falling really doesn't hurt at all!" Matt managed to say through his gales of laughter.
Joe didn't seem to agree with Matt; he sped down the hill, screaming all the way. Finally, he fell and slid down the hill on his side.
"C'mon guys, let's see if he's okay!" Sora said. So everyone started carefully down the hill. It didn't take long for all of them to fall, so Matt sped towards Joe without them.
"Great. We're stuck." Mimi said. Jen released her ski lock and got up hesitantly. She put her ski back on and carefully pulled Izzy up. After what seemed like an hour of wedging slowly down the hill (and falling, too-I can't forget that), they all reached the bottom.
"So do we take the ski lift?" Sora asked. Matt shook his head and pointed to a line of people.
"You take the toe rope up. The ski lift takes you to the advanced slopes, which you guys can't handle yet. Anyway, just grab the rope and hold on tight." he said. Sora, Joe, and Mimi made it up the toe rope easily, but Jen and Izzy had a problem.
"It won't take me anywhere!" Jen complained as she held the rope. Finally, she decided to walk up the hill again.
"I'll go with you." Izzy said as she started walking. Jen smiled at him.
"Thanks, Izzy, but I'd feel more grateful if I didn't know that you can't make it up the hill either." she joked. Izzy felt his face turn red. It took them forever to get up the hill (A/N: It's a heck of a long walk, trust me-the ten-pound ski boots don't help, either).
"Hey, I've got it!" Izzy said when they reached the top. He grabbed Jen's hand. "Look, we're both wearing mittens! I bet that we can make it up if we wear gloves! That'll make our grip a lot stronger!" he exclaimed.
"I bet you're right!" Jen realized.
"So, do you want to get your gloves? We can try again, if you want." Izzy said. Jen shook her head.
"No thank you, Izzy. I've had enough skiing for today. I'm going back to the cabin to take a shower. I'll ski with you tomorrow, okay?" she said.
"Okay...," Izzy said, sounding dissapointed, "tomorrow. Just remember to wear gloves."
"I will. Hey, do you want me to bring you some handwarmers?" Jen asked. "I have tons of 'em."
"Really? Great, thanks!" Izzy said. Jen smiled and trudged towards her cabin. Melanie and Carly were the only ones there.
"Back so soon?" Melanie asked as Jen walked through the doors.
"Yeah." Jen said simply as she took her ski boots off before plopping onto her bed. After a while, Mimi and Sora walked in.
"Hi guys!" Jen said. She glanced outside and saw that it was getting dark. "Let's get to dinner, okay?". The girls went to the cafeteria and ate quickly before running back to the cabin.
"Let's play Bloody Mary!" Sora suggested. Jen gawked at them.
"Isn't that a drink?" she asked.
"You don't know what Bloody Mary is?" Sora asked. Jen shook her head. "Okay. You tell a story about someone getting killed by a cat. When it's over, everyone says, "And she was killed by...cat scratches, cat scratches, cat scratches!". Then you see if the person who was lying down next to you has red marks on her back."
"Okay..." Jen said as Mimi lied down next to Sora. Melanie turned off the light.
"Let's see...Once upon a time, there lived a girl who was terrified of cats. One day, the power in her house went out. So she went down to the basement with a flashlight to check the fusebox. When she was going down the stairs, she tripped over something. The girl shined her flashlight where she had tripped, and found-"
"-my other slipper?" Jen asked hopefully.
"A PONY!" Carly shouted. Melanie frowned and threw Starbursts at them.
"Like I was saying, the girl found a black cat. She screamed and ran back up the stairs, only to find-
"My slipper!"
"A PONY!!!!"
"NO!!! Three more cats!"
"Oh. That's it?" Jen asked.
"No, that's not it! Now shut up!" Mimi said.
"Right. Well, all four of the cats attacked the girl, and she died of-"
"CAT SCRATCHES, CAT SCRATCHES, CAT SCRATCHES!" Mimi, Sora, and Melanie cried.
"BEING TRAMPLED BY A PONY!" Carly shouted.
"A skunk!?" Jen exclaimed. Everyone looked at her and sniffed the air.
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!" Mimi shouted. "LOOK! THE DOOR'S OPEN!! THERE'S A SKUNK IN HERE! YOU CAN SMELL IT!"
Melanie flicked the lights on and jumped onto her bed. Mimi and Sora joined Jen on her bed and scanned the room for the skunk.
"Eurgh, it smells so bad! Where is it?!" Mimi shouted. Suddenly, and loud squeling noise filled the room, and another smell joined the skunk.
"SOMETHING'S BURNING!" Melanie shouted. (A/N: This REALLY happened, just like that! With the lights off and everything! Can you imagine the confusion?)
"It's the heater!" Sora said. With a sudden burst of courage, she jumped down from the bed and turned the furnace off. Then she rushed back to Jen's bunk and hopped on. Suddenly, the troop leader walked into the cabin.
"What's all of the screaming for? And what's that smell?!" she asked.
Everyone looked at her and shouted, "SKUNK! THERE'S A SKUNK IN HERE, AND SOMETHING'S WRONG WITH THE HEATER!"
After an explaination of what happened, the leader searched the cabin for the skunk. "There's no skunk in here, but it sure smells!" she said. Jen was examining the door when she saw a hole in the deck outside.
"The skunk's under the cabin! It went down this hole here!" she exclaimed. The leader looked at it and went to the office to see what could be done.
"Well, that was interesting..." Sora said. Mimi groaned.
"It stinks in here now!" she said.
"Wait 'till we tell the boys about this!" Jen exclaimed.
Melanie got up and grabbed some perfume from the bathroom. Then she picked up some Lysol. She held one in each hand and sprayed them vigorously around the room. The cabin started to smell really weird after that. The girls chatted until their leader came back with a bucket full of deoderizing towels, which she hung all over the place.
It was hard to get sleep after that, but all of the girls eventually drifted off. They were freezing cold because of the problems with the heater, and the air smelled terrible. The girls could only hope that tomorrow would be better (and less smelly!).
