~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
They landed in Sweden nearly twenty-four hours later (an sry, I don't know the actual amount of time it takes to fly from Australia to Sweden, so we're just gonna make believe, okay?), and it was night.
"Okay, there's the lodge our reservations are at." Star said, pointing it out to the taxi driver.
"Ooh, it's gorgeous!" Minx breathed, snuggling up close to Caveman in the middle seat. They were squashed onto it with Apple, Zigzag and Star.
"Yeah, got it's own ski shop and everything." Star said. They pulled up in front of the lodge and a few bellboys ran out to get their bags.
"Man, this place is tight." Armpit said, his arm around Link.
"Somebody come with me to check in." Star said, digging around through her purse. She had a blue jean purse this time, and her silky hair fell over her face as she looked for whatever it was she was looking for.
"Squid, go with her." Zigzag said. Squid glared at him.
"Man, everybody knows that you don't like her." X-Ray whispered. "But you the only guy without a girl!"
"Fine, fine!" Squid rolled his eyes. He grabbed Star's arm. "C'mon." He muttered. She glared at him, jerking her arm free.
"Why are you coming with me?" She demanded as they walked across the lobby to the concierge.
"In case you haven't noticed," Squid snapped. "Everybody has hooked up except us. So we're automatically put together."
"Well that's stupid." Star said.
"Yeah, I know." Squid agreed. They reached the desk.
"Hi, we've got reservations." Star told the woman.
The woman smiled at them broadly "Honeymoon? So young to be married!" She said in broken English. "You make such cute couple!"
Star blushed. "Actually, we're not together." She explained. "We're here with a whole bunch of people. The reservation is under Sherry Watkins."
"Four rooms?" The woman asked. Star nodded. "Here your keys. Enjoy stay."
"Thank you." Star said politely. They returned to their group. "Here are our keys. We're on the fourth floor."
They reached their rooms, split into the same groups they'd been in earlier, and parted.
"Wow, look at this amazing view." Apple sighed dreamily, pulling aside the curtains and peering out the huge picture window. The snowy mountains were behind them, and the moon cast pale shadows on the snow.
"Do you think they speak English here?" Minx asked, pulling off her coat and hanging it up in the closet.
"I'm sure at least the people who work here do." Star said, kicking off her shoes and pulling on her tank top and shorts.
"Oh my god. Look at Fidget." Apple giggled. Fidget was fast asleep already. "She's out of it."
"She looked tired on the plane." Minx pointed out. Then she yawned. "I'm tired too. Nighty night." And she crawled into bed. Star turned out the light, and they all went to sleep.
They slept in the next morning. Magnet and Caveman showed up around eight, beating on the door.
"Come on!" Magnet urged when Star sleepily opened the door. "We're gonna go hit the slopes! None of us can snowboard, but we're gonna try to at least ski."
"No thanks." Star shook her head. "We're going to sleep in a little bit more and order room service. Then we might go to the spa or something. Meet us here at seven for dinner. Kay?" And she shut the door in their faces and crawled back into the bed she was sharing with Minx.
"Who was it?" Minx asked sleepily.
"Your boyfriend." Star said, rolling over and going back to sleep.
The other girls appeared around nine thirty, all still in their nightgowns and robes. They all sat on the two beds, piled among pillows and blankets, while Star ordered room service for breakfast.
"So what are we going to do today?" Jewel asked, absently playing with Link's blonde curls.
"There's a spa on the bottom floor, underneath the lobby." Star said, putting the phone back into it's cradle. "I thought we could check it out."
"Sounds great." Rogue agreed, smiling. It was amazing how much prettier she had become now that she'd started smiling.
So after breakfast, they put on shorts, tank tops, and flip flops and headed downstairs to the spa.
"Can I help ladies?" The woman asked in a thick Swedish accent.
"Yeah, um, we want everything. The full works." Star said, counting everyone behind her. "There are eight of us."
"Expensive for such little ladies." The woman said, raising an eyebrow in question.
"We've got cash." Star's eyes narrowed.
"Very well. Full works." The woman nodded, and Star handed her the money. "Brenda will show you to first room."
The next morning, they all ate breakfast in the dining room downstairs, then went out to the slopes. They returned for lunch around noon.
"Let's go into town and see a movie." Kitty suggested as they paid for their lunch.
"It'll probably be in Swedish." Star warned.
"I don't care." Kitty said. "Is everybody coming?" There was a murmur of assent.
"I'm not gonna." Star said, shaking her head. "I'm going to go back out onto the slopes. See if I can find somebody to race me on snowboarding."
"I'm not going to go either." Squid said. Everyone gave him a funny look, but they didn't say anything. "I'm not about to go get in the middle of all your mushy stuff." They all laughed.
"Suit yourself." Zero waved. "Bye!"
"See ya." Star muttered to Squid. Then she stopped. "Unless you wanna race me."
"I don't snowboard." Squid said.
"But you ski, right?" Star wheedled. "Come on! It won't hurt anything! Just a couple of runs! Please!"
"All right!" Squid snapped. "But only if it'll get you off my back for a while." Star grinned.
"Let's go."
It was dark by the time they finally reached the bottom of their last run. Star shaded her eyes and looked around.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"I dunno." Squid shrugged, also looking around. "I can't see the lodge anywhere."
"Me neither." Star bit her lip. She was starting to get worried. "What should we do, Squid?"
"Radio the lodge." Squid shrugged. "Get them to send somebody out to get us." He picked up the radio attached to his belt loop (convenient, eh?) and pressed the button. "Yeah, me and my...friend are lost on the mountain. Can you send somebody to get us?"
"Ya." The voice said. Squid put the radio back and looked at Star, who was starting to shiver.
"I guess we wait." He shrugged.
And they did wait. For a LONG, LONG time. It was nearing eight o'clock when the snowmobile finally reached them.
"Hop on!" The guy driving said. There was no room in the front seat, and there was only one seat in the back. "One will sit in other's lap, ya?"
"Whatever." Star grumbled, climbing onto Squid's lap. She felt tingly, and she didn't like it at all. Her heart was pounding a million miles a minute, but so was his. She could feel it even through their thick coats. They started off back towards the lodge, which was far, far away they could see now.
"Turn around." Squid said.
"Why?" Star demanded.
"I want to talk to you, and I don't like whispering in your ear." Squid grumbled. "It makes me feel stupid."
"You are." Star snapped, but she turned around and straddled him anyway. It felt awkward, almost seductive. "What?"
"Why do we have to do it this way?" He asked.
"Do what?" Star asked, confused. "What way?"
"I like you Star." Squid said firmly, taking hold of her lower arms and staring straight into her eyes. "In fact, I think I might even be in love with you."
Star didn't know what to say. She looked away nervously, but he turned her head so she was looking at him. Then he leaned forward and kissed her. It was deep and passionate, unlike their truth or dare kiss. Star found herself liking it more and more, and she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss.
Squid finally pulled away. They remained looking at each other, their faces only inches apart.
"I love you, Star." Squid said gently, brushing back a strand of her hair with his gloved hand.
"Don't say that." Star whispered, her dark eyes boring into his. "I think I'm falling in love with you too, and I don't want to be."
"Only God could stop me from loving you." Squid whispered.
Star threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his collar, crying. Squid held her close. He wanted her more than he'd ever wanted anything, but he was willing to wait to get her. She was a catch, that was for sure.
Finally her breathing became regular; she'd stopped crying. But she remained with her arms wrapped around his neck, allowing him to hold her. He was hard; she could feel it. But he was also being so gentle with her; something she'd longed for for a long time.
"Star." Squid finally shook her. "We're back at the lodge." She raised her head up, her tears frozen down her face and snow sticking in her hair. He lifted her down, then climbed out. She carefully slipped her hand in his.
"Come on." She said softly. They went upstairs to Star's room. It was deserted. "I guess they're not back yet." She said.
"Yeah." Squid agreed. He was feeling nervous now that they were back in the light. It was so much easier to confess love in the dark. It seemed more romantic, as well.
"Do you want something to drink?" Star offered, no traces of her tears left now. She was just as businesslike and brisk as before. "Coffee? Cocoa?"
"Nah." Squid replied, taking off his coat and shoes.
"Getting comfy?" Star asked, arching an eyebrow and removing her coat. She hung it in the closet, and placed her shoes in there along with it. Then she came and sat down on the bed beside Squid. "This doesn't change anything between us, okay?" She said seriously.
Squid reached up and gingerly touched her face. It was cold, just like his hands. Star took her hand and held his to her cheek, leaning into it, closing her eyes. "Yes it does." He whispered, kissing her gingerly on the lips.
Her eyes fluttered open. "No one knows about this, okay?" She said finally. "Do you know how much grief we'll get?"
"Yeah." Squid laughed. He yawned, then laid down on one side of the bed. He patted the spot in front of him, and Star curled up with him. He wrapped one arm over her, and she held his hand. And they fell asleep that way.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wow, that movie was so good!" Minx giggled, her arms wrapped around Magnet as they all staggered into the elevator around eleven that evening.
"I couldn't understand a word anybody said!" Twitch exclaimed, and they all laughed hysterically. (an. You know when it feels like you get drunk off of air? Well that's what happened to them!)
"Me neither!" Fidget giggled. They reached their rooms. "I'm gonna go to Rogue's room to spend the night." She told Apple and Minx.
"Kay." Apple replied, unlocking the door. Then she stopped and shushed Minx, who was singing loudly. "Look!"
"Oh my god!" Minx grinned broadly, catching sight of Star and Squid curled up together on the bed, fast asleep. "That is the cutest thing I've ever seen!"
"We have to go tell the boys!" Apple whispered, also grinning.
"Maybe we shouldn't." Minx said, frowning. "What if they get mad or embarrassed?" She sounded worried.
"Maybe you're right." Apple agreed.
"I think we should spend the night in other rooms tonight." Minx suggested. She and Apple grabbed their nightclothes and went next door to the other girls' room.
"Squid and Star are in our room." Apple explained as they changed for bed. They had made pallets on the floor.
"They had sex?" Kitty demanded incredulously.
"Hell no!" Minx giggled. "They just fell asleep on one of the beds and we didn't want to disturb them. That's all."
"Oh." Kitty seemed slightly disappointed. (an. Die kitty! Sry. Don't know y im so against that grl)
So they turned out the light and they all went to bed.
