Comments from the author: Ha, I'm still listening to Since U Been Gone. How I love that. XD Back to the topic… Hey everybody! The sixth chapter is up! Well, guess what? The episode Ski Trip comes out on Friday at 4:30/3:30 p.m. (in the U.S.) so I'll be watching it case I missed something in the story. Thanks for all the reviews. I was writing it at like four in the morning again. I got five chapters done, so I might be done in no time. Anyway, I hope you all can watch the episode on Friday. Here's the next chapter and thanks again for all the reviews…

I spent the next half hour unloading my clothes. Brad was just on his bed, which I had no clue about. After unpacking was done, I decided to go to sleep so I can have enough energy for tomorrow.

The next day…

At around nine o' clock in the morning, I woke up. Brad was still asleep, so I crept out the door, holding my snowboard and card key.

After I had headed out, I caught up with Trixie. We decided to look for Spud until Professor Rotwood told us to go outside for snowboarding guidelines. 'Boring' I thought.

We spent the next ten minutes listening to Professor Rotwood. When the ten minutes were finally up, Spud caught up to us. "What happened to you?" Trixie asked, seeing Spud covered in feathers.

"I got the wrong room." Spud said. The three of us walked together then I remembered what I had asked Trixie yesterday.

"Speaking of rooms, how did that girl talk go last night?" I asked. Trixie then started asking, "Well--" I got too anxious that I interrupted her. "What did she say about me?" I asked. Trixie then started replying, "About that--" I interrupted again. "She likes my hair, right? D-Does she like my hair?" I asked.

Trixie then got her mind on something else, saying, "Jakey, I am warning you, think this thing through. Take it from us, it's not the easiest thing in the world finding out that your friend is a--"

"Dragon!" Rose said. "W-What?" I asked, in amazement. "Dragon, on your snowboard." She replied, pointing. I sighed in relief. "Yeah, right. Dragon, snowboard." I said. I then tried to get on another topic. "You still got that birthmark?" I asked, feeling a little lousy.

"It's kind of permanent." She said, showing us her dragon birthmark. "I've got a birthmark too." Spud said, about to pull down his pants. "Eww! Spudster, you nasty!" Trixie said, pushing Spud on the snow.

I was finally alone with Rose. "Speaking of birthmarks, there's something I want to talk to you about." I told her. Rose was listening carefully, but Brad came in the picture.

"Rose-a-licious!" He called out. "I think you got a little something caught in your jacket." He continued, pulling out a rose. "I got you a rose because that's what sensitive guys do. They give girls roses and junk. Man, I rule at this stuff!" He said.

"I uh, don't know what to say." Rose said. "Ahh!" Brad pulled her onto a ski lift. "Girls who don't know what to say rock!" He said. Rose groaned.

"Okay! We'll talk later! We're cool! We're cool…" I said, calling out to her. "Jakey, you got to stop over-thinking this Rose thing. You don't see Spud going around all being all obsessive over some girl." Trixie said.

"Yeah, I guess you're right. I just want her to know because like I said, I want things to happen like asking her out to dates, knowing each other a lot better, and other stuff." I said.

"Quiet Lift Jr., daddy's trying to read." Spud said, after I talked with Trixie. "Whoa!" He said as Trixie grabbed him.

"Okay, let's cut the chatter and get down to the matter." Trixie said. "Mastering the ski lift is all about making booty to the bench contact." She said, acting like a teacher. I just watched.

"Now, don't be afraid to use a little hip to it." Trixie said. When the ski lift was approaching, Trixie got on, but Spud fell. "How was that?" He asked, muffled. "Uh, your birthmark is showing." Trixie said.

I waited for Trixie to come back and I pulled Spud out of the snow.

When Trixie got back, she had a plan of us holding Spud and putting him on the ski lift. He was swinging too hard and fell. Then, Trixie and I watched Spud get up on his own, but he fell off a tree and all his clothes fell off.

Spud got up and shivered. Trixie and I approached him. "Oh, I need a heater." He said. "On the upside, I mastered the art of snotsicles." Spud continued. Trixie and I exchanged a glance and then I heard something.

"Ear of the dragon." I whispered. I heard the roar again and told Trixie and Spud that I'd be back.

I went dragon and followed the noise. When I got there, Huntsgirl had just finished talking to the Huntsman.

"I might be wrong, but I think abominable here is an endangered species." I said. The only endangered species I see here is you!" She yelled. Huntsgirl covered me in snow. "White's not really your color." She snickered.

I blew the snow off and continued the battle. "What are you doing here? I could've sworn you were following me." Huntsgirl said. "Well maybe I am." I said. "Well, maybe you should stop!" She said. "Maybe you should chill!" I said, knocking her into a snow bank using my tail.

She shook the snow off and ran off. I saw something and picked it up, saying, "Yo, you forgot your--" I looked at it, amazed. "Ski pass?"

I morphed back into a human and tried to catch up with Trixie and Spud. I managed to and we all walked to the lodge to keep warm. It was time to tell them my discovery by then.
