Ok, I'm going to work extra hard on this chapter, since I have to baby sit
tomorrow, which means I won't be able to work on any of my story, so don't
blame me!! But hey baby sitting = $, so it's all good. Anywho, I've had the
idea for this chapter for quite awhile now, so it should, emphasize should,
be easy for me to write, but don't expect anything. Oh, and thanks to a
certain reviewer for giving me yet another idea, so I thank you Bella4Max,
and I'm gonna pair Bre with Max, just to make you happy!

~^ Chapter 18 - Lessons ^~
"What!?" Naomi yelled into her silver cell phone, she was talking to James, who had called about 5 minutes earlier. "What do you mean you can't go?!"
"Greg and I can't go to Fortune with you today, cause we um, kinda got in just a little trouble with our parents." James sheepishly explained.
"Fine, I guess that Bre will just have to fill in. See ya later James...Bye." Naomi sighed. She was bringing the guys up to a ski resort called Camp Fortune for the day. Not only did she want to go boarding, but also she wanted to attempt to teach Tyson, or anyone for that matter, how to snowboard. Lucky for them, winter had come early that year, and the ground was covered knee deep in fluffy white snow.
"Aw man. Now I have to teach one of these guys how to board! But I suck at teaching!" Bre whined.
"Bre, how would you know you're a bad teacher, if you've never even tried to teach anyone anything before." Naomi blankly stated.
"Oh ya. You got a point there." Bre smiled slightly.
"Anyway, lets figure out who's going to teach who." Naomi rested her chin on her thumb in thought. "All I know is that I'm not going to get Tyson."
"Jeez up Naomi. Tyson can't be that bad." Will shrugged.
"Ok then. You take him." Naomi snickered slightly, oh boy; Will sure didn't know what he was getting himself into. "Ok Bre, you pick." Naomi leaned closer to her friend and whispered:
"I think you should take Max, since you seem to fancy him so much." She grinned; this comment caused her to receive a rather painful punch from Bre.
"I don't really care." Bre huffed. Naomi just shook her head and sighed, this was going to be an interesting day.
After a long while of driving, and reasoning with Bre, Naomi had finally paired everyone off, and they were at Camp Fortune. Some how, some way, Naomi had convinced Kai to actually let her teach him some things; at least he wasn't sitting inside with Kenny, in his usual Kai stance. (A/N: I'm going to do what the day was like which each of the paired off people so ya, don't get confuzzled, tee hee, confuzzled is a funny word.)
~^ Tyson & Will ^~
"And there he goes again." Will muttered to himself, he was watching Tyson 'trying' to get stopping right, but kept on falling in the process.
"This doesn't seem very fun." Tyson huffed once he had gotten up from the ground.
"Tyson, all you need to remember, is to keep your body straight, bend your knees, and lean back, but not too much." Will explained, while showing Tyson what to do.
"Ok, I got it now!" Tyson grinned and then began doing what Will had told him, and as surprising as it may seem, he succeeded in actually not falling, and stopping correctly.
"Good job Tyson. Now the hard part, turning." Will sighed, oh boy, now this was going to be hard.
~^ Max & Bre ^~
"Ok, ready?" Bre giggled, her and Max were about to get off of a chair lift, that lead to one of her favorite hills.
"Yep, so I just sit on my board, like a sled or something?" Max grinned.
"M-Hm, that's exactly what you do, and just turn and then plop your knees on the ground, that should make you stop." Bre explained. Max simply nodded. When their boards touched the snowy ground, the two bent down and sat on their snowboards, using them as sleds, and easily sliding away from the ski lift. Once they had made their way over to the actual hill, they sat down did up their bindings, and got ready to go.
"Ok, what to do first." Bre pondered. "I know! I'll do Naomi's little teaching method thingy!" She then went in front of Max, and stopped, facing him. "K, now, put some weight on the back of your feets, so you're in the stopping position, and take my hands." Bre held out her hands, which Max gladly took.
"Now what?" He smiled.
"Put more pressure on your right foot, now your left, and then your right..." Bre laughed at Max's expression, her instructions had caused him to sideslip, not to too much, but just enough for him to make a real odd facial expression.
"And what is this for?" Max squeaked slightly.
"Well, if you can't do a sharp turn, and your near the side of the hill or something, then side slipping will get you as far as you need to go." Bre laughed slightly. "Now, you ready to learn some more stuff?"
"Yeah!" Max answered, a little too enthusiastically.
~^ Rei & Conor ^~
"ICE!!" Conor yelled and quickly stopped, Rei followed, but fell on his backside with a small * thump*.
"Oh man, I've done that before, hurts like hell, don't it?" Conor smiled and helped Rei off of the ground. Even though him and Rei had never really talked before, they had become fast friends.
"Just a little." Rei laughed.
"But hey, at least you learn quick. Poor Will is probably having just a dandy time with Tyson." Conor sarcastically stated.
"But what about Naomi? She has Kai to deal with." Rei said.
"Meh, she can handle it. Knowing her, she's probably going to turn out getting into some sort of trouble, but hey, who knows!" Conor grinned. Rei just shook his head while laughing slightly.
~^ Kai & Naomi ^~
"Jeez up." Naomi muttered slightly, she then rubbed her ribs, where a slight pain was stinging. She remembered how when she had dropped by her house to grab her snowboard and the rest of her gear, that Koby had made her trip, and fall down the stairs...once again. "Damn dog."
"Humph." Kai crossed his arms, he was sitting on the ground beside Naomi, for some reason, he was having trouble getting up, and kept on falling back wards.
"Jeez, I would expect the great Kai Hiwatari to at least be able to get up off the ground." Naomi laughed and slid in front of him, holding out her hand. She heard Kai grumble something, before taking her hand, and lifting himself off the snow covered ground.
"Quick, put your weight on the back of your feet, so you don't fall again." Naomi quickly instructed. She watched as Kai stumbled over the simple command, but finally stood up straight, lodged in the spot he was in.
"This isn't as easy as you though it was going to be, huh?" Naomi smiled. "You should've seen me the first time, now that was funny."
"It is much more difficult than I expected." Kai admitted.
"Don't worry, I'm sure you're a quick learner, and even if you aren't, I'm pretty damn patient." Naomi grinned. "Okay, this is how I taught Bre, now take my hands, and put your weight on your left foot, then your right, and so on and so forth." Kai raised an eyebrow at her, but followed her instructions anyway, and quickly learned what Naomi was teaching him.
An hour later, Naomi had taught Kai practically everything, well not everything, but the basics, like turning, stopping, recovering if you fall, stuff like that, and just as she had said, Kai had learned rather quickly. At the moment, her and Kai were going down a hill called Peeno, which was rather easy.
"Come on Kai!" Naomi whined. "Just one race!"
"Fine." Kai finally agreed, for some odd reason, to him, he just couldn't say no to Naomi.
"Okay, let's go!" Naomi grinned and then sped off down the hill. Kai just shook his head and followed. Naomi was on one side of the hill, while Kai was on the other. They were both nearing the end, but Naomi was closer, when she sped up, she didn't notice a skier cut across her path, so she didn't have time to stop, and fell onto the ground, hitting her head rather hard.
"Stupid skier." She muttered, lifting her aching body off of the cold earth.
"Are you ok, I'm terribly sorry for cutting you off, it was an accident." The person that had caused Naomi to fall came up to her.
"It's alright, it happens all the time, so I'm used to it. It's sort of my fault too." Naomi smiled as she painfully stood up. She then took off her hat, and brushed off all of the snow that was covering it. "I was going just a little too fast, having races with people can do that to ya."
"Wait a minute, I recognize you from somewhere." The young man pondered, Naomi looked at him questionly; he had dirty blonde hair, and honey brown eyes, which were studying her features.
'Uh-oh, hopefully he didn't watch the countdown.' Naomi mentally squeaked.
"You're that Naomi girl, I saw my sister reading some beyblade magazine with your picture on it." The boy smiled.
"How 'bout that?" Naomi faked a grin. "I have to go find my friends, so um, buh bye!" She quickly said before sliding down the rest of the hill, where Kai was waiting for her at the bottom.
"What happened?" He immediately asked after Naomi had removed one of her bindings.
"Nothing much, some skier just cut me off and I fell, nothing big." She shrugged.
"Well, are you ok?" Kai asked, surprising both himself, and Naomi.
"Ya, my ribs hurt a little, but other than that, I'm just dandy!" Naomi answered.
