Chapter 8 – Finding Huntsgirl

Comments from the author: The eighth chapter is up! The part when Spud is dressed like a leprechaun is my most favorite part in Ski Trip. It was hilarious… Anyway, here's the eighth chapter.

I gave Spud a leprechaun costume that I found in my luggage. Spud went to dress up and I waited for Trixie.

"Umm, Jake… I feel the need to tell you that I'm a little disturbed by this plan." Spud said, looking at himself dressed as a leprechaun. "I'm more disturbed by the fact that Jake not only owns a leprechaun costume, but brought it on a ski trip. What's with that?" trixie asked.

"What? So I over packed…" I said, shrugging. Trixie and I went to the end of the hallway to see if the plan would work.

"Oh, gosh be-gora! 'Tis a sad thing indeed to be a little lost

leprechaun. I do hope a ninja huntress doesn't come upon me, don'tcha know!"

Spud said, trying to make people hear.

"Gotcha, Huntsgirl!" I said, after I saw somebody. I dove to him and I covered him in a blanket. I peeped to see who it was.

"Actually, its just Earl." The boy said. He glanced at Spud. "Hey, are you a… leprechaun?" He asked. "Your just seeing things. It's one of the high stages of altitude sickness." I said, trying to make him go away.

"Whoa, leprechauns rock." He said, touching Spud's forehead. "Uh, my room now." Trixie said, grabbing Spud. I walked with her. She then started telling me, "Jake, this has gone way too far. You're tackling innocent people--" She stopped talking after she had slipped her card key into the door. "What the?" She said.

The three of us saw Rose doing pull-ups while the bed was up. We gasped. The three of us approached her. It didn't take long for her to see us looking at her, amazed.

"Oh, uh, hi. I was just uh, getting ready for a pre-ski work out." Rose said. She got down from the bed and nervously laughed. Trixie dragged us out of the room.

"Okay, did you just see that?" Trixie asked, still amazed. "Heck, yeah! Rose is totally buff." I said. Spud and I exchanged a high five. Trixie groaned.

I then got another plan. I motioned Trixie and Spud to go downstairs to the lodge. They did so and I told them my plan.

We then snuck into the front desk. Luckily, nobody saw us. "Trust me, Trixie. This plan is fool-proof." I said. I pulled down the microphone. The two of us were still behind the desk.

I turned on the microphone. "Attention at the lodge. There is a collect call at the front desk from…" I stopped, handing the mic to Spud. "Huntsmaster." He said.

We peeped from the front of the desk and I spotted what seems like a girl that had a thick jacket on. "Yeah!" I said, leaping out from behind the desk. I got her and said, "Wrong number, Huntsgirl. You think you can hide from all that padding?" I said.

The girl turned around and thought, "Oops…" She then started speaking in a very foreign language, which I had no clue about.

I saw her rush to the bathroom. "Okay, I think we need a new plan." I said. "Shh!" Trixie said afterwards. She motioned me to turn around, which I did.

I saw Rose talking to Professor Rotwood. "So I must've lost my ski pass somewhere. Do you think I can maybe, get another?" She asked in a sweet voice. "Well, normally I would never allow it, but seeing as you ask so nicely, I'm sure I could allow it." Professor Rotwood said.

Rose smiled. A boy then accidentally bumped into her. "Oh, excuse me." He said. "Aiyah!" She said, tossing the boy on Professor Rotwood. "Ah, my ribs!" Professor Rotwood said.

Rose gasped and ran away. I saw her rush up the stairs.

"Did you just see that?" Trixie asked me. "Yeah, Rose's aerobics classes are really paying off." I said. Trixie groaned again. I then told Trixie and Spud I need to grab my snowboard from my room.

They nodded and I rushed off to my room, holding my card key.
