A/n: Sigh...I love this story so far. Your reviews are so cool! Yes...and...Griff is cussing for a reason lol. You'll see in this chapter lol. I knew someone would notice.

I AM SO SORRY FOR BEING LATE!

You know...I imagine Griff to be looking like a skateboarder in real life...you know...the famous teenage kind...I don't really know who that could be so I guess he could look like any blonde messy haired guy in real life.

Anyway, onto the chapter :)

CHAPTER 2: Kiki

Kiki went and tried to pick up her luggage bags when Griff stopped her and smiled. "Uhm...I-I-I can do this for you..."

Kiki smiled back. "Thank you Griff."

Mac did the same with Kaori's belongings and Griff picked up Kiki's bag and felt its contents. They weren't really soft...but they were lumpy...and he felt a wheel inside.

"Uh...is there something that rolls in here?" Griff asked, not stuttering.

"Oh. That's just my skateboard." Kiki replied. "I figured that before I snowboard, I should train on my skateboard. I don't know how to snowboard yet though..."

"So you're using your skateboard to learn how to snowboard?" Griff asked as they came out of the airport.

"Not really." Kiki said. "I'm just training for any tournaments...I do skate park tournaments..."

"Oh..." Griff said as they headed towards the helicopter. The pilot sat there and when he noticed them coming, he sighed and smiled.

Mac opened the door. "Ladies first."

Kaori giggled and Kiki smiled as they entered. Griff was next, but Mac held him back.

"What's wrong?" Griff asked.

"Grommet, what is with you and your cussing?" Mac asked.

"Uh...I think it was breakfast..." Griff replied.

"And what did you eat?" Mac said.

"Sugar...and lots of sugar.." Griff said and Mac sighed.

"Dude...DON'T EAT SUGAR FROM NOW ON." Mac said, loud enough for only Griff to hear. "I know you like Kiki. And dude...if you lay off the cussing, she could like you a LOT more."

"Fine..." Griff mumbled. "But...sugar gives me power..."

"Not now it doesn't...and DON'T STUTTER." Mac said as they got onto the helicopter. Kiki sat on one side, the side with no window, and Kaori sat on the other, the side with the window. Griff sat next to Kiki, and Mac sat next to Kaori. The helicopter rose again into the sky and was now headed back to the lodge on Peak 1.

As it flew, Kiki saw the peaks on BIG mountain. "Wow...this is a big mountain..."

"Yep. It has three peaks too." Griff said, before Kaori could even speak. "Peak 1 is for beginners, Peak 2 for intermediate, and Peak 3 for the experts."

"What peaks are you guys on?" Kiki asked.

"Three!" Kaori and Mac said at the same time.

"All thanks to Ma-chan!" Kaori exclaimed.

"No it's Kaori!" Mac exclaimed.

"No you."

"Kaori, it's obviously you. You're older."

"No Ma-chan. It's you. You're more energetic."

"But you're more graceful Kaori. I always land on my butt."

"No. You because you're faster."

Mac and Kaori continued while Kiki and Griff stayed silent.

"What about you Griff?" Kiki asked, managing to focus on Griff.

"2..." Griff said quietly.

Kiki frowned. "Well, don't worry. To me, you're one of the best."

Griff looked at her with widened eyes. "Wow...heh, t-t-t-thanks Kiki."

'Ughh...don't stutter Griff!' Griff said to himself.

"Don't mention it." Kiki said smiling. "Soon, I'll probably be as good as you someday."

Griff laughed. "Heh. Yeah."

Griff looked at Mac and Kaori who were still arguing. Kiki sighed and shook her head.

"But Kaori, you do your tricks better. You know why they call you Tricky Nishidake?" Mac said.

"No. Ma-chan, you are the Mac "Smack" Fraser. The girls go lovey dovey when you pass by." Kaori said.

"No they don't."

"Yes they do."

"No they don't."

"Yes they do."

"Gosh, you two, maybe it's because of your teamwork that you guys can get to Peak 3?" Griff asked and Mac and Kaori looked at him.

"I'll go with that." The two said at the same time as the helicopter landed next to the lodge.

Mac opened the door once again for Kaori and Kiki and he and Griff got their luggage and got off the helicopter too.

"This is the lodge." Kaori said as they passed by it. "This is where you can relax or get your clothing and snowboards from as well."

The four of them approached the hotel where most of the snowboarders stayed. As they entered the main lobby, two heads turned their way. A blonde girl got up from the sofa and ran towards them and a another girl got up from the other sofa.

"KAORI!" They both shouted and hugged her. Kaori smiled and hugged them back. As soon as the two stopped, they turned to Kiki.

"So this is Kiki?" One of them said. "Well, welcome to BIG Mountain. I'm Zoe."

"And I'm Elise." Elise said.

"Luckily, Kiki and I will be staying in one of the rooms in your hallway." Kaori said. Griff and Mac rose their eyebrows and started to head towards the elevator to their rooms.

"Well, it looks like you got to follow those two." Zoe said. "They could look through your stuff."

"Especially Griff." Elise replied. "We'll see you tomorrow okay?"

Kaori nodded and followed Griff and Mac to the elevator. As the door opened, another familiar face was inside.

"Ah Kaori. You've returned?" He said.

"Lay off, Psymon." Mac muttered. "She won't be your victim this year."

"I can see why." Psymon said looking at Kiki. "And who is this? Mini-Kaori?"

"Grrr...DON'T CALL ME MINI-KAORI." Kiki said, with a little anger in her voice. "My name is Kiki!"

"Well then, Kiki, you'll be my victim this year." Psymon said, slightly smiling. "Whether you're a snowboarder or not."

"I will become one you know." Kiki replied.

"Well then, I'll crush you on the mountain." Psymon muttered as the elevator stopped.

"Don't worry. Cuz I'll crush you first." Kiki said, slightly smiling.

"You know I like you kid. You got spunk." Psymon said, turning to leave. "See you on the mountain sometime."

The door closed as Psymon walked out. Griff looked at her. "Wow...I thought Psymon would get to you..."

"I'm not that afraid of him." Kiki said.

The elevator soon reached their destination and the group left the elevator and went to Kaori and Kiki's room. Mac opened the door and noticed the two big beds in the middle.

"Gosh, this is bigger than my room..." Griff said.

Mac and Griff dropped the luggage in front of the beds. "You two should get ready to eat cuz we're taking you two out for dinner."

Griff looked at him with wide eyes. "We? Who's we?"

"You Griff, you." Mac whispered to Griff.

"What? I have to come too?" Griff whispered back.

"Yeah." Mac whispered. "I need to help you in the ladies department."

"See you two later." Mac said turning to the door. "We're gonna pick you up at 6 o' clock in the evening."

Mac and Griff left the room as Kaori and Kiki started unpacking. "You brought your trophies?" Kaori asked as Kiki took everything out.

"Yeah. I figured they would give me good luck." Kiki replied. "Well, we should get ready for the little dinner date with Mac and Griff..."

Kaori smiled. "Aren't you excited?"

Kiki looked at her. "Uh...I guess...why'd you ask?"

"Well, it's for me and Mac and you and Griff." Kaori replied.

Kiki thought of this and blushed. "W-w-w-well I never really thought of that...!"

"Aww look you're acting like Griff!" Kaori exclaimed. Kaori also noticed that Griff stuttered at the airport.

Kiki smiled, still blushing. "Oh be quiet...just start fixing your stuff already!"
