An hour later, and the movie was over, with Skye, Everest, Marshall, and Chase walking out of the theater.

"What a great movie." Everest said, smiling.

"Yeah. Maybe this time Leo will finally get an Oscar!" Marshall said, causing the group to laugh. That's when Chase looked at his watch before glancing at his friends.

"The night's still young. You guys up for anything?" He asked.

"Actually, I think I'm going to head home. This is usually the latest I stay out." Everest said, blushing lightly.

"Aww, Eve, don't be a party pooper!" Chase teased, nudging her slightly. Skye nodded her head in agreement, a little disappointed that Everest wanted to go home so early. Everest just smiled at them as Marshall explained the situation.

"Everest has this schedule: she's allowed to stay up for as long as she wants, until 10 PM. When 10 PM hits, she has to go home and sleep, so she could face the day tomorrow bright, and early." He said, grinning as Everest blushed once more.

"Cute." Skye cooed, giggling as Everest hid her face from view. Chase sighed.

"Well, I guess that make since. Come on, I'll take you guys home." He said and the group began walking towards the bus stop, waiting for the bus. While Chase and Marshall were busy, Skye began talking to Everest, much to the blue haired girl's pleasure.

"So, what kind of things do you like to do Everest? Besides reading, I mean." She asked.

"Well, I like snowboarding." Everest said, shrugging her shoulders. Skye blinked.

"Really? Never thought you would be the type." She mused, smiling as Everest began to twirl a string of her hair with her finger.

"Well, before I had moved here in Adventure Bay, I used to live in Antarctica. There was nothing but penguins and snow, and since I had lived there when I born, I had to do something with my time." She said, shrugging her shoulders.

"Antarctica? So, like, you're Inuit, then?" Skye asked, pink eyes twinkling with curiosity. Everest could feel her stomach doing flops as she swallowed, her face heating up, before answering the question.

"I...suppose that's one way to put it. Almost no one would want to live in a cold, snowy, tundra with little to no connection to the outside world. How Russians and Canadians do it, it's beyond me." Everest said, smiling when she heard Skye laugh.

"Beats hot, dry-land, always warm all year around, deserts like Utah any day." She giggled. "Plus, the only natural predators you would have to look out for would be sharks and other animals that live in the sea."

"Polar bears." Everest said, causing Skye to blink.

"Polar bears? Don't they live in the Alaska?" She asked.

"They live anywhere it's cold and snowy; that includes Antarctica." Everest said. Just as Skye was about to respond, the bus pulled up and all four kids hopped on. Once seated, they continued their conversation.

"You know, Adventure Bay has a snowy mountain all on its own - it's called Jake's Mountain." Skye said, and Everest nodded.

"I know, I'm actually good friends with Jake and Carla." She said and Skye's went wide.

"Same! But, I was wondering if you would like to go there one day, just you and me." Skye said, smiling brightly. At the mention of being alone with Skye, Everest felt her heart stop and she nibbled a little on her bottom lip. Thinking about it, Everest couldn't help but smile, batting her eyelashes at the curly-haired girl.

"I would like that."

Skye grinned.

Soon, the bus pulled up at Marshall's stop, where both he and Chase got off.

"See ya tomorrow girls." Chase said, waving them goodbye. The two nodded and once again, the bus was on the road. The ride was silent after that, both girls being completely nervous to each other, and just when Skye was about to speak, the bus stopped again.

"Well, here's my stop. See you tomorrow, Skye. I had lots of fun." Everest said, smiling. Skye shut her mouth and nodded, watching as the blue haired girl walked out from the bus and began traveling down the road from the bus stop. It took a minute, but Skye had eventually pulled her eyes away from the window and look down at her feet.

One of these days, Everest will be hers.
