"SHIT!!" Rage cursed as the chair lift swung forward quickly, threatening to throw him off.
"Not again..." Andrew moaned. Rage and Andrew had finally gotten up one of the lifts and the rickety machine was once again stopping.
"Dammit, no wonder this place cost us only 17 bucks." Rage muttered. "Especially when the AVERAGE all-day lift passes cost around 55 bucks!"
"No kidding." Andrew said hanging on the armrest for dear life. Their chair eventually bounced, nearly causing Rage to fall off the lift and they edged closer to the end of the lift. They finally got off and sat down to bind their free foot into the bindings.
"The snow had better be good." Rage grumbled.
"Don't get your hopes up, considering the quality of the lift, the snow's probably all artificial and melting as we speak." The two stood up on their boards and pushed themselves forward. Andrew was right, they had traveled about 3 feet in the snow when they slipped and fell.
"THIS IS FUCKING SLUSH!!!" Rage screamed as he picked up a handful of snow that was plopping to the ground.
"There's another mountain about 2 hours away from here. Supposedly the best powder on the East Coast...it's pretty expensive, but if you have enough money for your own ticket then we can head down there,"
Rage opened the zipper in his detachable snowboard pants and took out his wallet. "I've got 134 bucks." He responded after counting.
"Awesome! Let's head on over there."
The two of them plowed through the melting snow and boarded downward, pitying the people who were on the lift above them.
Emi felt the curve of her board as she flew down the half pipe. She pulled herself up in the air and did a series of rotations then landed on the slanted surface again and propelled herself forward as she grabbed the front of her board. She flew down the pipe and leaned back on her board to stop herself. Maria cheered her on, clapping at the bottom of the pipe.
"That was one hell of a 720, Emi!" She complimented.
"Thanks." Emi replied as she breathed rapidly from the strenuous workout. "The snow's really great today."
Maria smiled. "Isn't it? They don't call this the best powder on the East Coast for nothing."
"Got that right." Emi said with a smile. The two of them sat down at the foot of the half pipe catching their breath.
Spike and Ice sat in their shared house's living room watching "Dude, Where's My Car?" They both started cracking up.
"Play it again!" Ice said with a dorky smile while clapping. Spike lazily rolled over to the VCR. He pushed the rewind button on the VCR and listened to the whir of the tape being rewound.
"Dude, listen!" Spike said, his British accent accenting the "u" on the "dude."
Ice rolled on his stomach like a slug to the VCR.
"Whoa man! Extreme!" He said.
"It's tight man!" Spike said. They pressed their ears to the VCR, listening to the whirring. Ice was so entranced that a chain of drool began to drip from the corner of his mouth. Suddenly, the VCR stopped whirring. The two were so startled by this that they fell back.
"Whoa...it stopped!" Spike said.
"Hey maybe it's broken!" Ice said.
"No way, that would suck!" Spike pushed the rewind button again. The VCR hummed for a split second then stopped again.
"Hey man, look at the TV." Ice said.
The word "STOP" was in the left-hand corner. Of course, and normal person would know that this meant the VCR had finished being rewound...but these guys were FAR from normal.
"S-s-s-s-tohhhhp" Spike said slowly, reading the words carefully. "Oh, it says 'stop'!"
"Hey, I think the VCR thingy is talking to us. It's telling us to stop." Ice said.
"But I want it to rewind again!" Spike whined.
"Yeah, me too." Ice glared at the VCR. "We'll show YOU who's boss around here!" He yelled pointing accusingly at the VCR. He punched the VCR with his fist.
"OWWWWWWWW!!" He yelled as he clutched his hand. There was a small scrape where he had punched the VCR.
"Dude, it bit you!" Spike said looking at the cut.
"Stupid machine!" Ice said as he swung at the VCR with his other hand, resulting in another scrape.
"No man, like this!" Spike said as he banged his head on the VCR. Now this would've hurt any normal person. Any normal person would've gotten a concussion from hitting their head repeatedly with such force. Spike on the other hand had very little brain to hurt so he felt nothing.
"Good idea, bro!" Ice said as he too started to bang his head on the VCR that now had indentations from Spike's attack. This continued for a few minutes. Then, while Spike was lifting his head to attack again, Ice let his drop resulting in the two heads banging together. Now since both heads were all skull and no brain, the two of them both injured each other...though not too much.
"Ow." Spike said stupidly, then passed out on the floor.
"Ditto." Ice said while he two passed out on the floor.
Alice walked into the dressing room while she changed into baggy jeans and a cute reddish orange shirt with green sleeves. The other dancers had already left, exchanging good-byes with one another. Alice was in her room alone...she sighed. She felt so lonely...although it was hard to believe. She was a famous dancer...a member of the super-elite group. Of course, she wouldn't be so lonely if she wasn't such a brat. Alice Ip was brought up spoiled rotten. She had almost everything she wanted...except friends. She often annoyed girls her age with her elite attitude. She pulled out her cell phone and called her chauffeur. Then she waited outside to be picked up...in a limo.
Janet sat on her knees at the edge of the dance floor.
"Tracy WAKE UP!" She yelled. Tracy drank too much alcohol and was now on the floor with a faraway expression and a goofy smile on her face.
"Ship me off to Katmandu with a sponge and a two inch dodo bird." She said, her voice out of key and slurred.
"Tracy...SNAP OUT OF IT!" Janet started to slap her friend multiple times.
Tracy began to sing with hiccups. "One (hiccup) potato, two potato, (hiccup) three potato..."
Janet groaned. "Oh PLEASE TRACY GET UP!"
"I am up, tis you who's down fair (hiccup) ladiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeee." Tracy said with a drunken Shakespearean accent.
"ARGHHH!"
Johnny sat on the edge of a lake as the Cadilac Convertibles whizzed by behind him. He looked at the far edge of the water, which reflected the afternoon sun. "I wonder what's happened to Rage and Emi..."
Charmy bounced back to the pizza parlor humming a cutsie song. She bounded to the back, nearly tackling the chef for the hundredth time...and apologizing to someone for the thousandth. She happily took her lunch break, grabbing a slice of pizza and a canned soda.
Rage zipped down the half pipe. "Now here's some great snow." He thought. He whooshed by, Andrew cheering him on from behind him. He sped downward and did and inverted 540 feeling the eyes of beginning snow boarders who were watching from the side. He then picked up speed going downward and grabbed the back of his board, arching his back. Then he flew farther down the half pipe. He did a 720 as he came up then flew down again. He was now on the last section of the half pipe. He saved his best trick for last. Picking up speed he zoomed off on the edge with incredible air as he flipped for the McTwist. But as he was rotating upside down, he saw a girl toss her head back and laugh at something that her friend sitting next to had said. This however wasn't what distracted him...what distracted him was the fact that the girl was Emi. Suddenly, he hit the side of the half-pipe and he could feel snow brush up from his shoulder's impact and into his face.
Emi turned around, startled by the sudden burst of snow that pelted her from behind. She saw a person on the floor...he had obviously fallen on the half-pipe. She hastily undid her board and propped it upside down so it wouldn't slide down the slope.
"Are you...?" She interrupted herself with a gasp. She recognized at once who it was.
"Um...hey." Rage said sheepishly.
"I...you fell and...well...I...er...you hurt?" She asked, not knowing what to say. Andrew's figure suddenly halted next to them.
"Rage are you OK?" Andrew asked, not realizing someone was next to him.
"Uh, yeah." Rage responded nervously.
Andrew then looked to his right and saw Emi. "Oh!"
The three were silent for a while.
"Erm, yeah, I'll be heading down that way." Emi muttered quickly as she ran back to her board.
"Wait!" Rage exclaimed, but Emi ignored him and put on her bindings as quickly as she possibly could, her hands moving rapidly. She quickly boarded down leaving an extremely dazed Maria.
"Hey Emi, wait up!" She called as she stood up and took off on her board.
Rage got up, shook off snow, and then he too flew down after Emi. A few minutes later, he caught up to Maria.
"Rage, I lost her!" She frantically said.
"I'll find her." Rage promised while picking up speed and whizzing down on his board.
Emi quickly flew down the slope. She could feel tears building up in her eyes, but blinked them away. She wasn't going to cry this time. Suddenly, a snowboarder cut right in front of her causing Emi to lose her balance and fall. The snowboarder then stopped and turned around. It was Rage.
"Why are you running away from me?" He asked.
Emi sniffled, but said nothing.
"Emi!" Rage pleaded she tried to get up to go again, but Rage took her hand.
"Let me go!" She yelled. To her surprise Rage did. She turned around to see what caused him to release his grip when she noticed he was disappearing. Then she looked down and noticed that her feet were gone...then her stomach...then her arms...then her head.
"Again..." Emi thought as she felt herself flying through a colorful sky.
Ice woke up and groaned as he rubbed his bruised head.
"Dude that was painful." He said, waiting for a response from Spike. But no response came. Ice looked around and saw that his best friend was no where in sight. He frantically got up and walked around the house until the clock in the kitchen caught his eye.
"Coooooool." He said, fascinated by the ticking and tocking of the clock. He sat cross-legged and stared at the clock with wonder and amazement.
Alice walked into her room, tired from her day of dancing. She walked slowly to the marble bathroom and turned on the sparkling, crystal lamp. She took an ivory brush and began to brush her hair in front of the mirror. She smiled to herself in the mirror and winked. All of a sudden, her brush slipped out of her hand and clattered on the floor. Wait a minute...hand? WHAT HAND? She looked horrified at the sight of her body depleting. She opened her mouth to scream, but her mouth had disappeared as well...in fact, she was no longer in Earth...
Afro gave Janet the bottle of water and she drenched Tracy in water.
"Thanks Afro." Janet said as Tracy started to wake up.
"No probl-" Afro replied, cut off. Janet looked up to see why Afro had stopped talking when she realized Afro wasn't there. She began to panic and began to run around, but it wasn't long before she too had departed.
Johnny walked around the lake, putting on his leather jacket with flames running on them. The heat in his chest grew...he felt a strange sensation...a familiar sensation. He looked around the lake to see that the lake was starting to melt away from view. He smiled. "I'm returning." He thought, knowing what the heat and familiarity meant.
Charmy ran into her house and quickly punched in the videophone code the guy had given her earlier. She was about to dial the last number when she realized that her feet were gone. She knew what this meant...she was going back! She let her heart rise with giddiness only to realize what she would miss.
"No no no no no no! Not NOW!!" She desperately pleaded, but it she had no sooner blinked when she realized she was surrounded by a familiar swirl of colors.
"Not again..." Andrew moaned. Rage and Andrew had finally gotten up one of the lifts and the rickety machine was once again stopping.
"Dammit, no wonder this place cost us only 17 bucks." Rage muttered. "Especially when the AVERAGE all-day lift passes cost around 55 bucks!"
