Disclaimer: I don't own SSX 3.

Blue Rogue: Nothing much to say.....once again, Zoe is doing the interviews.....and now Nate's the victim.

-[back with Zoe in the SSX Lounge on Peak 1]-

Zoe: Well, now I'm hyper. Hehe. I shouldn't have had any more coffee after the third cup. Zoinks.

((Nate walks in))

Nate: Wasup, Zoe?

Zoe: The sky. Now sit down.

Nate. Ok. (sits down) So when's the interviewer gonna be here?

Zoe: I'M the interviewer, butt munch.

Nate: Uh.....

Zoe: You gotta problem?

Nate: 'Course not, foo'.

Zoe: Foo.....sounds like some kind of Chinese soup.

Nate: Just start asking your fcking questions, I have to be somewhere soon.

Zoe: For your information, they are not fcking anything. They are simply sitting here on a piece of paper in my lap.

Nate: .....What?

Zoe: Hey, I'm asking the inquiries, bub. So.....first one--What's your name?

Nate: .....What kind of stupid question is that?

Zoe: A darn good one.

Nate: Uh, it's Nate...?

Zoe: I see. Second question--What's it like being a new guy?

Nate: It sucks. Everyone expects me to live up to their standards even AFTER I claimed a peak on the mountain.

Eddie: (walks in) That'll change soon enough.

Nate: Hey!

Zoe: Eddie? What are you doing here?

Eddie: Must escape from fan girls. Do you mind if I just casually duck under the desk in front of you?

Zoe: Uh, sure, no problem.

Eddie: Thanks. (crawls under the desk)

Zoe: (whispers) Psst, Eddie. Tuck in your 'fro.

((Eddie's hand comes out to squish the top of his hair down under the desk))

Zoe: ...So anyway, (turns back to Nate) third question--What do you see yourself as?

Nate: Well, other people see me as a cowboy from the ol' open range. I'm a cowboy, but other times I'm a cowboy gangsta.....foo'.

Eddie: (from under table) Haha! Oh, that's funny...(voice trails away)

Zoe: But you're not actually a gang member, right?

Nate: No, of course not. What gave you that impression?

Zoe: Is that what little high school kids say all the time or something? I never gave a crap about that stuff.

Nate: We noticed.

Zoe: Right. Fourth question--since you said you're sometimes a cowboy "gangsta," do actual gang members shoot you often?

Nate: Yeah, actually, I was shot at once. But it just so happened that I was wearing a bullet-proof vest, and--

Zoe: Yes, that's very nice. Fifth question--Did you know that only posers label themselves?

Nate: ...............Maybe...

Zoe: Sixth question--Do girls think you're hot?

Nate: I dunno. I doubt fan girls would come all the way up here just to get an autograph.

Eddie: Yes they would.

Nate: Not for me.

Eddie: Oh, right.

Zoe: Boing!

Nate: .....What the--?

Zoe: Ever been really hypery on tasty coffee? Oh, the goodness of coffee. Gweh-heh.

Nate: Just shut the hell up and ask me something else.

Zoe: Ok, last question--did you just tell me to shut the hell up?

Nate: Yeah.

Zoe: Wrong answer! (punches him)

Nate: Ow! Why'd you hit me?

Zoe: I told you before, I'M asking the questions, not you! (punch)

Blue Rogue: Will Nate get out of the lodge alive? Will Zoe drink yet another cup of coffee? Will I recover from writer's block? And will Eddie ever get out from under the table? Answers in the next episode, so until next time...(salutes)
