A/n: Gosh it's been like...2 months! Ugh that is sad. But here I am updating! Ever since it came out, I've been wanting to try SSX on Tour but some people say that SSX 3 is much better because you can't play Kaori and Mac and the others in SSX on Tour. That sucks but I still want to try it!
Okay. You know in the previous chapter when I said that Griff looks like a skater? Well I found out that Griff looks like the pro skater Ryan Sheckler! XD They look a lot like each other!
I decided not to call this chapter More Sugar because well...I changed my mind over what happens in this chapter...but I'll put More Sugar for another chapter.
And I know that I'm making the boarders act a little OC but that's only because Kaori just came back to the mountain. It's like giving her a fresh start or something like that...it's kind of confusing but soon some friendships may change.
This chapter is the chapter where they try and get a better friendship with each other. Okay! Here's the next chapter!
Chapter 3: Double Dinner Date
WITH KAORI AND KIKI
Kaori unpacked most of her clothes and stuffed animals and thought of what she would wear for their dinner date with Mac and Griff.
"Kiki, what should we wear?" Kaori asked as she finished with one of her bags.
Kiki thought but another question formed in their heads. "Wait...do we wear something fancy or something?"
Silence came to the room as they thought. Kiki sighed. "We should call Mac immediately, huh?"
"Yeah." Kaori also sighed and went to the phone in their room and dialed Mac's room number.
WITH MAC AND GRIFF
Griff sat on Mac's bed as Mac looked for something in his closet.
"Dude, it's just dinner." Griff said.
"Man! You don't get it huh?" Mac said, looking unimpressed. "It's for me and Kaori and you and Kiki! That's the whole reason I planned it!"
Griff thought and blushed. The only crushes he had were on Elise and the older girls. But Kiki, who was his age, made everything harder in a way that Griff felt nervous about.
Just then, Mac's phone rang, making Griff, who was next to it, jump. Mac walked to it and picked up the phone.
"Uh...hello?" Mac asked.
"Ma-chan!" Kaori said.
Mac's eyebrows rose and his heart pounded. "Oh hey Kaori. What's up?"
Mac looked at Griff who looked at him. 'That's Kaori?' Griff mouthed and Mac nodded. Griff laughed but Mac kicked him so he could stop.
"I need to ask a question." Kaori said.
"Go ahead. Ask away." Mac said.
"Uhm...where are you guys taking us? Is it somewhere fancy or something?" Kaori asked.
Mac laughed. "Kaori you know I'm not the kind of guy who would take you and younger kids to somewhere fancy. People will think that they're our kids or something..."
Once Kaori heard this, she blushed. She never thought of a scene where Kaori and Mac had kids and were all together like a family. She shook her head to snap out of her daydreams.
Griff's eyebrows rose once he heard what Mac had said and looked up at him. Mac looked at him and Griff whispered, "What did you just say?" Mac then realized what he said and put his hands over his eyes.
'I can't believe I said that...' Mac thought. 'I screwed up...'
Silence came over the call and Kaori had to think of something to say, quick. "So...we dress casually then?"
"Oh..uh...yeah." Mac said and snapped out of his thoughts. "We're going to that one place where Marty has his part-time job...but I think he wanted the job to get some free food..."
Kaori laughed. "I see Marty didn't change. Well anyway...we can't wait for tonight."
"Us either." Mac said.
"See you later!" Kaori said and Mac did too and they both hung up.
WITH KAORI AND KIKI
Kiki looked at Kaori. "Kaori, what was with the silence?"
"Oh uh...nothing..." Kaori said. "Well anyways, Ma-chan said that we wear something casual and that we're going to the restaurant where our friend Marty works."
"Alrighty then!" Kiki said and she and Kaori started looking through their closets for something to wear.
WITH MAC AND GRIFF
"Dude, did I just hear you say what I think you said?" Griff asked.
"Yeah...and that was a wrong time to say it too." Mac said.
"And you said I needed help in the ladies department..." Griff said, rolling his eyes. "Hurry up Mackenzie...you take too long."
"Oh shut up Griff." Mac said.
"Ugh I'll just go back to my place," Griff said as he got off the bed. "It's boring here."
Griff then left the room as Mac continued to look in the closet.
'Whatever...' Mac said and gave up looking for what to wear. 'I'll just wear what I normally wear...'
Mac then picked up his MCOMM and put it in his pocket and walked down to the main lobby.
LATER THAT DAY...AT ABOUT 6 PM.
Mac and Griff were in the main lobby thinking of advice of how to talk to Kiki. Mac was wearing a white and brown jacket, jeans and his MP3 player while Griff wore a white jacket, and jeans. It was snowing outside in the darkness outside of the lodge.
"Okay." Mac started. "What should you do when she comes here?"
"Uh..." Griff started. "Say hi?"
"NO." Mac said. "Say something like 'how are you doing' or 'what's up' or something."
"Okay." Griff said. " What else?"
"Since we're going to the place where Marty works...sit across from Kiki. Sit next to me and hopefully Kaori will sit across from me too." Mac said. "Then you can see Kiki face to face and eye to eye and stuff like that. Remember to smile or else she'll think you're bored."
"Alright then." Griff said. "If you make me embarrassed or anything, I'll break you're board."
Mac's eyebrows rose at Griff's threat. The board Mac was using now wasn't his onlyand favoriteboard, unlike Griff, who only has one.
"Deal." Mac said and they shook hands.
Then, the elevator door opened and two girls appeared and they walked out. The tallest and oldest out of the two had her brown hair down, was wearing a pink jacket and tan capris, and wore silver dangle earrings while the younger one had her hair in a top knot, was wearing a black jacket and jeans, and wore chandelier earrings.
Mac's eyebrows rose in surprise as he looked at Kaori. He never saw her with her hair down before. As for Griff, in his mind, his mouth was open the whole time he looked at Kiki. She was very pretty and he felt like he didn't know what to say to her.
"Wow Kaori..." Mac said. "You look...great tonight..."
Kaori blushed and smiled. "Thank you Ma-chan!"
"You do too Kiki." Griff said and Kiki also blushed and smiled.
"Wow...thanks Griff! You do too!" Kiki said, smiling, as Mac and Kaori were already walking out of the hotel.
'Griff say something that Mac said!' Griff said in his head and he looked at Kiki.
"So...how're you doing?" Griff asked as they also started walking outside.
"Pretty good...you?" Kiki asked, smiling.
"Great." Griff said, also smiling.
"You know...before I came here, I never thought it would be like this." Kiki said.
"Really? Like how?" Griff asked.
"Well...like I wouldn't meet guys like you...and Mac...and everyone else. I thought the only friend I would have here was Kaori but...I was really wrong." Kiki said. "And I'm really happy I came here...because I got to meet you and everyone else."
Griff and Kiki blushed. Griff continued to smile. "Well...I'm glad that I met you too."
"Aww...thank you Griff." Kiki said as they continued to walk behind Mac and Kaori.
Meanwhile, Mac and Kaori were talking to each other.
"I'm just going to say this Kaori." Mac said. "While you were gone, I really missed you."
"Really Ma-chan?" Kaori said. "I missed you a lot too."
There was silence and they both blushed. Mac then looked behind them to see Griff and Kiki talking and smiling.
"Kaori...have you noticed that Griff has gotten close to Kiki?" Mac asked.
"Yeah! And I didn't think that Kiki's first good friend here would be a guy!" Kaori exclaimed.
"Anyway, what was the reason Kiki came here?" Mac asked. "Was it only because she wanted to learn how to snowboard?"
"Actually that's only half of it." Kaori said and Mac looked at her. "She came here to not just to learn how to snowboard but to compete in the SSX circuit as well. It was sad...just as Kiki comes here, Nate leaves. It sounded like a coincidence. I called Atomika before we left the hotel to tell him about Kiki."
Just then Mac thought of something. "Then that means that Griff and Kiki don't have partners...and Kiki's a newbie...and Griff told me that his new partner would be a newbie who's a really good skater..."
"Which means that..." Mac and Kaori said at the same time and gasped.
The group walked towards the fast food restaurant and noticed that two security guards stood at the entrance. Kiki looked at them as the group entered. A guy that looked just like Mac stood next to the wall, waiting to give the customers their orders. There were more security guards inside, and were wearing their black sunglasses and held their radios. The guy who looked like Mac looked up at the group.
"Mac! What's up?" Marty said and did a handshake with Mac.
"I'm good." Mac said and Marty looked at the others.
"Kaori! You're back!" Marty said and hugged Kaori.
"Hi Marty!" Kaori said as they stopped hugging.
Marty then looked at Griff. "Hey Grommet. Isn't it past your bedtime or something?"
"Shut up Marty." Griff said. They both smiled and chuckled a little and did a handshake as well. Marty looked at Kiki and his eyebrows rose.
"You must be Kiki." Marty said. "Good to finally meet you."
"Thank you Marty," Kiki said, smiling. "You too."
"So you're becoming an SSX boarder soon huh?"
"Yeah and I'm really excited...but I'm just anxious to see who my partner will be."
Griff looked at Kiki. He didn't know that she would be in the circuit because no one told him about that. 'No wonder she's here...' He thought.
Marty smiled but then noticed that they didn't get their orders yet. "Hey you guys go get your food. I'll talk to you guys at your table."
The group ordered their food and went to their table where Marty was at. Kiki looked at the security guards as she sat down. Just like what Mac had hoped for, Mac sat next to Griff and Kaori sat next to Kiki and Mac sat across from Kaori and Griff sat across from Kiki. Marty took a chair and sat in front of their table.
Kiki looked at the security guards. "Hey...what's with all the security around here?"
Marty sighed and looked at the guards. "Well, since this place is near the hotel where the SSX boarders stay at, a lot of fans and paparazzi come here, since the boarders come here a lot for breakfast and stuff. I guess some of them don't like the hotel's breakfast. So the security guards are here to protect the boarders. Before they were here, I had almost 14 girls stalking me around the mountain and while I worked. Hey Mac weren't you and Kaori surrounded by a big group of paparazzi at the theater before?"
"Ugh...yeah. I remember we had reporters asking us questions and all those cameras flashing at us." Mac said. "And a camera hit my head and next to the paparazzi was the fans and...ugh...they chased us. We finally got in my car and immediately started to drive back to the hotel. But some of the paparazzi were in their cars and were chasing us."
"And we were in the tabloids and the newspaper at least twice saying that we were a couple and stuff like that. It was in every magazine saying something about us." Kaori said. "Atomika got mad and hired security guards to look out for the boarders. Well, that's what he told us before I left."
"Ugh...I had a big group of girls following me." Griff said. "Most of them were younger than me and about the same age and I didn't like how they just shoved a pen in front of me! Then those girls older than me were pushing and shoving and I fell on the fans..."
"Wow...you guys are famous..." Kiki said. "You guys have fans and paparazzi all up in your faces."
They continued eating their fries and burgers and sodas and once they were done, Marty, who worked there, threw away their food for them.
"See you later Marty." Mac and Kaori said and waved goodbye and started to leave the fast food restaurant.
Like last time, Mac and Kaori walked faster than Griff and Kiki.
"We should walk even faster than them." Kaori said. "This'll give them more time to talk."
Mac nodded and the two started to walk faster than they were.
Griff just looked at them. "Why are they walking faster than us?"
Kiki looked at them and shrugged. "I don't know..."
"Anyway...I didn't know you were going to compete in the circuit." Griff said.
"Oh...I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Kiki said. "I wanted it to be a surprise for everyone."
"So when are you going to talk to Atomika for your MCOMM and registration and all that stuff?"
"Probably tomorrow." Kiki said. "But Atomika said he'd call our room when he wants me there."
"Can't wait huh?" Griff asked.
"Yup." Kiki said.
The group finally entered the hotel. It was so warm inside and many boarders were inside talking and laughing. Elise was talking to Zoe, and Allegra, Viggo, Psymon, and Moby were next to the fireplace talking. Elise and Zoe looked at the group as they went to the elevator and watched how the door opened and closed.
"Hey Kiki, do you want to learn how to snowboard before Atomika wants you?" Mac asked.
"Of course, it'll be weird when I talk to him if I didn't learn yet." Kiki said.
"I'll teach you." Griff said and Kaori looked at him.
"Okay then!" Kiki said. "Thank you!"
"Remember to wake up at 6 AM then." Kaori said with a smile. "He'll probably want you at 10."
"And we'll go to Happiness too." Griff said. Mac's eyes widened at what Griff said. Sometimes, Happiness had avalanches and the boarders had to board faster than it and reach the bottom. It seemed risky to teach Kiki somewhere like that.
The elevator door opened and Kaori and Kiki went to their door.
"Bye Ma-chan." Kaori said and hugged Mac. Mac's heart pounded and he blushed.
"See you in the morning Kiki." Griff said and they smiled. Mac and Griff then watched Kaori and Kiki go into their room and they stayed in the hallway.
"Dude," Mac said, being serious. "Are you sure you want to take Kiki to Happiness?"
"Yeah." Griff said.
"Are you sure?" Mac asked again. "I mean, there's a chance that there will be an avalanche there."
"Trust me there won't be one tomorrow." Griff said.
"I hope you're right." Mac said and they went to their rooms.
