It wasn't long before Chef and the others returned. "We've got the medicine." DJ announced.
"Good, now all we have to do is wait." Trent said.
"Isn't that what we've been doing?" Lindsay asked.
"He means for the medicine to take effect so that Gwen will get better." Heather told her.
"Not that I needed a translator, but thanks." Trent said.
A couple hours later, Gwen woke up. "Uh, guys?" She asked. "What am I doing on the floor?"
"She's okay." Bridgette said. The rest of the cabin cheered.
"Who knew your resourcefulness could actually help save a life?" Duncan asked Courtney.
"Well, after being kicked off this crappy show, I ended up reading a lot. You'd be amazed what I know."
"You've pretty much just wowed everyone here, that's for sure." Duncan said.
"I'm really glad you're okay, Gwen." Trent said.
"It was because you never left me." She told him. "Thanks."
"Anytime." He gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "So, what do you usually do around the holidays?"
"Well, I've always loved ice skating." Gwen said. "It's always helped inspire me to do sketches and it makes me feel free to be myself."
"I'm a total clutz on the ice." Tyler said. Everyone stared at him. "Sorry, continue."
"Yeah, I've never been able to skate very well." Trent said.
"Well, looks like you've got a good teacher." Gwen said. Then Bridgette took a look out the window.
"Hey, guys!" She called. "It's stopped snowing!" Everyone rushed over to the window. The winter snowstorm had stopped. Snow covered almost every part of the campgrounds and the entire lake was frozen over.
"Wow, it looks really beautiful." Lindsay said. "Almost like those ski resort photos."
"Yeah, the view's amazing." Heather agreed.
"There's someone coming!" Gwen pointed. There were a few figures moving through the snow. The group rushed outside the cabin to find more of their friends from the show.
"Geoff!" Bridgette called out.
"What's up, Babe?" He responded.
"Yo, girl! Glad to see you're all in one piece!" LeShawna said. "After you disappeared, I decided to call in some back-up!"
"It's great to see you, LeShawna!" Bridgette said.
"Well, since the storm's over, what do you say we all head back home?" Chris asked.
"Sound like a plan, I don't know how much more of being here I can take." Heather said.
"According to my scan, we should be able to make it by…"
"Shut it, Harold!" Everyone yelled.
"Actually, before we go, there's something I'd like to do." Gwen said. She walked over to Chris and whispered something to him.
"Sounds like a good plan to me." Chris said. "If everyone else is okay with spending a few more minutes here?"
"Hey, got nothing better to do." Duncan said.
"Since we're all here, why the heck not?" LeShawna added.
"I'd do anything when Gwen's around." Trent said.
Within seconds, the group was on the ice. "Whoa!" Lindsay almost fell.
"I've got ya!" Tyler caught her from falling.
"Thanks." Lindsay said.
"I have to admit, Goth Girl. This was a great idea!" Heather called as she skated past.
"Thanks, Heather!" Gwen said. "Glad you think so!" Trent was right there next to her.
"This is the lamest thing I've done in my life." Duncan complained.
"Oh, cheer up." Courtney said. "It is Christmas, after all."
As Bridgette and Geoff skidded past Gwen and Trent, he slipped something into her pocket. He wasn't exactly sneaky about it though. "What's that, Trent?"
"Just something for you to remember me by." Trent told her. "You know, for when you get bored during the holiday."
"Normally my Christmases are lame," Gwen said. "But this is going to be one that I'll remember forever."
Happy Holidays, everyone!
