"I can't belive Louis would do something like that! I mean, being only a few minuets late would have been alright, BUT HALF AN HOUR LATE! I mean, what is going on in his head!" "Well that is a crisis. But if you'll excuse me dear, I have other rooms to clean." the cleaning lady said as she left, leaving Ren alone in her room.
"Hey, Can I come in?" a farmiliar voice at the door asked. As she looked up she saw the most unlikely person.
"What do you want, Larry? I'm realy not in the mood for insults." "I can tell. I overheard you talking to the cleaning lady. And from what I've learned, when you do that, you need help." Larry said as he walked over to Ren's bed and sat down. "Thanks Larry, thats realy nice and... wait! Why are you being nice"
"Well it's only fun to pick on someone when they fight back. And you just looked like you could use someone to talk to. So talk away. I'm listning." "It's not like it's my life goal to fight with Louis twenty-four seven.
It's just that I don't want anything to happen to him, so I've been trying to yell at him all this time to see if it would trigger anything in his rock hard head. But I guess that hasn't been working." "Gee, ya think?" Larry said smiling at Ren. Though it felt kinda wierd being this close to her and actualy having a meaningful conversation. The last time they were this close was when they were tied together to help them with there rage isues. "Thanks Larry. It felt good to talk to someone who dosn't have to run off and clean rooms right in the middle of what your saying." "Any time Ren. Any time." At that moment, though neither new why, Ren laid her head on Larry's shoulder and Larry put his arms around her waist and his head on top of hers, and till it was time to go to bed, they stayed like that just looking out the window at the snow covered mountians.

"Are you shure you want to do this man? I mean, Ren was pretty upset with you last night. Don't ya think we should just lay off for a while?" Twitty said as he watched Louis dial a not to farmiliar number on the phone.
"Yes, I'm positive! Now shut up it's ringing. Helo. Beans, Beans, are you there little buddy?" "Yeah?" a voice behind them shouted. "BEANS! How did you get here?" "I stuffed myself in one of your bags, along with a whole weeks worth of bacon"
"So thats why my room smells like a breakfast resteraunt. Never mind. I was going to have you bring me my crash test dummy I got for half off at that yard sale." "Way ahead of ya big guy!" Beans said as he pulled the dummy out of the same bag. "He was my traveling buddy!" "What the heck! How did you...never mind. Thanks man! Now all we need is a pair of my clothes and..." After a few minuets they had dressed the dummy up to look like Louis. Complete with a pair of skiing clothes, boots, and a coon skin cap for some hair.
"Louis are you shure Rens going to fall for this?" Twitty said as Tawny and Tom walked in the door. "Hey Twitty. Hey Louis. Hey Louis. Hey...WOA! You realy put a lot of work into that didn't you!" Tom said as he walked over to the dummy and looked it over. "O.K. Why would you want to do something like that"
Tawny asked as she too went over to the dummy." "Well what I'm going to do is lay this beside one of the trails that Ren is going to be on. When she sees this she'll think that it's me and start to freak out. Then we jump out and scare her before she has a chance to do anything!"

Three Hours Later
"I can't belive you guys would do something like that! I thought you were realy hurt Louis!" "Oh, come on Ren, it was just a joke! You should have expected that from me!" "Yeah, well, I didn't. Now if you'll excuse me,
I'm going to go call the principal at tell her that you don't need to be in high school even!" "Yeah, he's right Ren,
you need to lay off a little." Tawny of all people said as she held Louis's hand. "So now it's you too! Well then I guess all you guys shouldn't be here! Your all just acting like a bunch of kinderguardiners!" "Come on guys. We don't need to take this"
Louis said as they all walked back outside into the blizzard that was slowly, but shurely, forming.
