The Feral Scream
Ch II
The Ski Trip
AN: Ok, so I'm going to skip the first part of the ski trip and skip right to when they get to the resort. I'm also going to ski several parts to cut down on size. That should solve any placement problems you might have.
AN2: I'm also going to take a whole different take on the episode itself.
Disclaimer: I don't own ADJL.
The day had finally arrived, he was finally going on the ski trip, and nothing was going to stop Jake from telling Rose his feelings this weekend. He was totally exhausted though-- Grandpa's new training programs for his new body were really taxing on the nerves, especially when most people had to find a way to talk with just one mouth, but he has two.
His Grandpa was right; he needed to be levelheaded now. Even the slightest things were getting on his nerves-- whether it was Hailey, his Mom or his Dad, he felt like he would explode any second now. 'When I get a second, I'm going to take this out on something, or I might blow it with Rose,' thought Jake.
He had managed to tell Trixie and Spud slowly, so they wouldn't totally break down on him. If he might tear someone apart, he would need the two of them to know. But all his anger had totally dissipated when he looked at Rose; it was replaced by a great attraction. 'Breathe deeply, Jake. She'll be there,' he mentally scolded himself.
He didn't really pay attention to the Professor when he started saying something about key-cards. But he was soon tipped over and stepped on, so Jake just took one of the cards and took off.
Later, after he had managed to find Trixie and Spud, he was still determined to tell Rose his secret. When he saw her, he waved. He was glad when she waved back—and then she started to walk over, which is when a bit of nervousness kicked in.
"Um, Jake," said Trixie, "are you sure about this whole 'dragon secret' thing?"
Spud piped up, "yeah, man, maybe you should wait until you know her a little more?"
"You guys know what I said earlier, I waited too long to tell you, and I need to get this out in the open with her," said Jake.
Rose started walking over to Jake, but was quickly intercepted by Brad. Sometimes she really felt like giving that guy a good, swift open-handed punch to the face. 'Doesn't he ever catch a hint?' she thought.
But Rose forced herself to calm down. If she was going to enjoy this weekend, she would need to keep the kung fu to a minimum. He walked her over to the lifts, where she quickly found a way to ditch him after they had stopped. Behind her, she could still hear him calling to her as she ran through the forest.
The real reason she came up here was to find an abominable snowman, and skin it for its pelt. Everything was going well until she heard a familiar voice behind her
"I'm not sure about this, but I think Abominable there may be an endangered species," said the voice.
When she turned around, she didn't quite see what she had expected.
Jake had finally gotten his chance to blow off some steam when he heard a roar in the mountains. He rushed off into the tree line and called upon the eye of the dragon. There he saw an Abominable Snowman tied upside-down. He growled in satisfaction when he saw the Huntsgirl standing there next to it-- holding her huntspear triumphantly.
"Dragon Up!" Jake called and felt the familiar force of flame surround his body. When he was fully transformed to his now-familiar two-headed form, he grinned and took off into the air.
AN: Ok, keep those reviews coming and I'll keep pumping out the chapters.
And next chapter: The discovery!
