Snow Day
In Quatre's mansion living room, Xiaohu flops down on the couch there and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ah, that was a fun time on the slopes," she exclaimed happily. "That was a great winter vacation."
"Yeah, you said it," agreed Taeko as he flopped down on the couch beside her. "Maybe we should go snowboarding more often."
He slips his hand into his pocket and takes out a picture and laughs.
"That's a nice picture of us," commented Xiaohu looking at the picture of Heero falling on his skis, Quatre petting a team of Siberian Huskies, Trowa zipping down on the slope with his skis, Wufei making a snow statue of Shenlong Gundam, and Duo airborne on his snowboard. "Kinda funny to see Wufei make a snowman. Next time we should make Heero, and Trowa try out snowboarding."
"Who came with us?" wondered Taeko. "There was Heero, Duo, Trowa, You, Me, Koji..."
"And Wufei," added Xiaohu.
"And then Duo, Wufei, Koji, you, and I took up snowboarding..." continued Taeko.
"While Heero, Trowa, and Relena went skiing," finished Xiaohu.
"Didn't Relena come with us too?" asked Taeko.
"Naw, she came with Sally, Quatre, and Noin in another car," answered Xiaohu. "We took Trowa's van. We should've taken a picture of all of us."
"Yeah," agreed Taeko disappointedly. "Too bad Duo messed up the camera before we had the chance to."
"Note to self: next time, don't let Duo take a picture while standing on his snowboard," said Xiaohu, hanging her head in exasperation.
Just then, Duo walks into the living room, rubbing his butt and groaning as he walked. Behind him came Wufei, Heero, Trowa, and Kojiro.
"Speaking of which," perked up Xiaohu. "Why didn't I see you at the beginner slopes, Duo?"
"He decided to go on the most advanced slopes," Wufei answered for the pilot.
"Why would he do that?" wondered Trowa. "He just started snowboarding."
"I don't know," replied Heero. "Go ask him yourself."
Duo whimpered in pain as he sat down beside Xiaohu.
"You should have seen him," said Trowa. "It was hilarious how he tried to get down the mountain."
"I can still see him falling head over heels in the snow," Wufei added with a smile on his face.
"And you guys thought that me falling down was funny," said Heero.
"Don't worry; that was funny too," assured Xiaohu with a grin.
"Yeah," agreed Taeko. "It's not like everyday you see a guy slipping on the snow right after he snaps on both skis."
"At least I was brave enough to go on the advanced slopes," defended Duo.
"Please," retorted Xiaohu. "I hardly consider getting to the chair lift a thing of courage."
"Maybe if you practiced on the beginner slopes before going on the advanced slopes, you could've done much better than those little kids who beat you to the bottom," exclaimed Trowa.
"Aw man, we should've taped that," moaned Xiaohu disappointedly. "I can see the headlines now: Duo, a sixteen-year-old teen, snowboards head over heels down the advanced slopes while a mere six-year-old boy beats him to the bottom by zipping fast on his snowboard and pummeling the poor teen with snowballs."
"Hardy har," Duo laughed sarcastically.
Xiaohu kicked Duo in the shins, which caused the boy to send out a shrill cry as he grabs his legs.
"You know, I really liked snowboarding," commented Wufei. "It's a great workout."
"I think skiing is better," said Kojiro. "It's like rollerblading in the snow."
"Skiing sucks," groaned Heero, crossing his arms and creasing his eyes.
At the sound of this, Xiaohu laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" demanded Heero.
"You're just saying that because you kept falling down on your skis a lot," replied Kojiro.
"I was not," argued Heero defensively.
"Were too," Taeko argued back. "Every time you snap on both skis, you fall splat on the snow."
"Not every time," articulated Heero.
"Yeah, Ronin's right," agreed Kojiro. "Remember when we got at the top of the mountain, Ronin snapped on only one of his skis and he slipped down the entire beginner course?"
"Oh yeah," remembered Xiaohu. "And the beginner course was for slow speeds only and Heero was zipping down really fast."
"And then the ski patrol was chasing after Heero on his snowmobile and nearly toppled a bunch of skiers and snowboarders down," added Trowa.
"And then when the ski patrol finally caught Heero, he slipped and smacked the ski patrol with his ski and sent the guy sprawling on the snow," added Taeko.
"And then Heero got his lift ticket taken away for the entire day because he was a 'public hazard'," chuckled Wufei.
"Where was I when all this happened?" Duo wondered upsettingly.
"Probably tumbling down the advanced slopes while that little kid threw snowballs at you the whole way," answered Xiaohu.
"Hey, that wasn't funny," pouted Duo.
"It was from where we were standing," said Kojiro.
Everyone laughed out loud as both Duo and Heero crossed their arms tightly and glared at the others.
