And we're back on Fan Fiction! Just another heads up, these characters are only from SSX Tricky cuz I've only had SSX 3 now for only.. umm... 2 days? Hehe. But, I might sneak one or two in there as a guest. OK, well.. here's chapter 4...

Mac was walking down to the coffee shop. He looked down at his watch. "2:46. 'Bout 15 minutes early. Man, I hope Brodi's right." He went in and took a seat in the back where Kaori wouldn't see him so he could surprise her.

Kaori was walking down to the grand opening with Elise. "Oooh.. I'm so nervous. I look nothing like I usually do! He's going to think I'm weird!"

Elise sighed. "He will not. You're hair looks prettier than ever, and you've got an outfit to match it. He's

not gunna know what hit him!"

Kaori looked at her watch. "It's 2:47. If I know him, he should be here already. He would want to be first in line." Kaori smiled as she pictured him waiting eagerly at the red tape.

Elise looked over. "..Kaori?" She waved her hand in front of her face. "HEY! KAORI!"

Kaori awoke from her day dream. "Oh! Um.. yes?"

"Sheesh, girl, you are obsessed."

Kaori blushed. She stopped to look around for him. "Hmm.. He's not at the front. Odd. Where do you think he is?"

Brodi came rushing down to them suddenly. He was out of breath. "Kaori! Oh, thank goodness I found you!"

"What's wrong, Brodi-san?"

Brodi stopped. How could he explain this to her? "Um. Well, you see, uh, the coffee shop.. um.. is.. on fire! Yeah."

"WHAT!" Kaori screamed.

"Yeah, yeah, um, the man there, um, dropped a match into some.. gas.. thing and there's this huge fire and since you always go there, I'd think you would want to go.. see it.. before it's all gone." Brodi was punching himself in the head on the inside. "What a stupid explanation!" he thought.

But Kaori bought it full on. "Oh my, oh my! I have to go see if anyone was hurt!" And she ran off as quick as she could. Brodi and Elise stood there staring after her.

Elise looked at him. "How did you know there was a fire?"

Brodi looked away. "Uh, my friend told me on his cell phone. And I just had to find Kaori. Um, I have to go now to.. hold down Psymon." And he walked away quickly.

Mac sighed. He checked his watch again. It was 3:03. "Hm. She should be here by now. I think I'll get a coffee. I'm fallin' asleep over here." He was about to order when Kaori busted in through the door. She stopped suddenly and looked around.

"What the..? Hey, this place didn't catch fire. That stupid Brodi." And she was about to walk out when Mac came up behind her.

"Hey Kao!" Kaori turned around. Her eyes grew large.

"Oh! Hello Mac-san! What are.. you.. doing here? I thought you would be over at the grand opening!"

Mac felt his heart pumping. "I came here to.. um.." His mind was racing. Should he tell her? "I came here to.. get a coffee! Yeah, I was, uh, really tired this morning. Didn't catch a wink, you know?"

Kaori tilted her head a little. "Oh. So.. coffee was more important than a grand opening? Hehe."

"Well, yeah, if you're too tired to snowboard."

Kaori giggled. Mac looked down at her outfit. She looked amazing!

"Wow, nice outfit!"

Kaori smiled. "Sumimasen! Oh. I mean, thank you."

"Did you do something with your hair? It looks different."

"Um yes, I.. wanted to try something new. Do you like it?" Kaori said with a little unsureness.

"Yeah. It looks really cute."

Kaori's heart leapt inside. She smiled at him. She looked down at his hand. "Is that a.. rose?"

Mac panicked. "Oh yeah, I just, um, found it.. on the ground."

"Oh..."

"You can.. have it, if you want."

"Aww.. thank you." She smelled it's lovely scent.

"You wanna.. sit down?"

"Oh, of course!"

They both sat down at a table. Mac looked around the place. "So, you come here often?"

"Oh, yes. Every Sunday. I just love it here. It's so quiet and it gives me time to just.. relax. Sometimes I just want to get away from it all. And I..."

The two talked for 5 hours straight. They had completely lost track of time. A man came over to the table. "Hey, you two. We're closing up in 3, so I'd get moving okay?"

Kaori and Mac looked at their watches. It was 7:57.

"Oh my Gosh! I didn't know it was that late!" Kaori said.

"Yeah, I guess we sorta lost track of time. Let's head back."

"Kay."

The two started walking back in silence. They would glance at each other for a second and then look away quickly. Mac looked at Kaori's hand. He wanted to hold it so badly. Every time he worked up enough courage, he just lost it when the time came.

Kaori looked at Mac who was glancing at her hand every now and then. She wondered if he wanted to hold it or if something was wrong with her hand. She looked at it; It looked fine. So now she had to either wait for him to make the move or be brave and do it on her own.

Mac was just about to grab it when he looked up and they had reached the hotel. "Damn" he thought. He held the door open for Kaori.

"Thanks." she said.

Psymon and Luther were playing a racing game in the lobby. Psymon turned around and saw them. "OOOOOHH! IT'S MAC AND KAORI COMING IN TOGETHER! AWWWWWWWWWW! HOW CUUUTEE!" Him and Luther laughed.

Kaori blushed. Mac rolled his eyes. "Would you shut up for, like, five minutes?"

Psymon laughed. "Hell no! This is my job!" He got up and put his arms around both of them. "I always

knew you two would end up together!" Mac elbowed him in the ribs.

"Oof!" He fell backwards. Kaori and Mac laughed.

Luther went over to him. "Hehe. You got beat by a kid younger than ya! You just gunna take that?"

Psymon kip-upped to his feet. "Nope!" He went over and shoved Kaori from behind.

"Eek!" she screamed as she fell. Mac went over to her.

"You alright?" He helped her up.

"Yeah.. Just a little soar."

Mac looked at Psymon. "You shovin' girls now, biatch! This is between you and me. Leave her out of it."

Psymon grunted. "You tellin' me what's what now? I AM SUPREME WARRIOR OF OBLIVION! JUST TRY AND TAKE MY UNICORN!"

Mac stared at him. "..What?"

"KYAHHHHH!" Psymon kneed Mac in the nuts.

Mac fell to the ground. "Aww...Son of a..."

"Well, at least we know he's a boy now!" Psymon and Luther laughed.

Now Mac was getting really mad. He quickly tripped Psymon and Psymon fell to the ground. Mac leaped on him and started punching him.

Kaori screamed. "Oh my God! Stop it, you guys! Stop! Stop! HELP!"

The man who was working at the front desk looked up. "Oh Jesus Christ." He picked up the phone. "Security, get down here quick!"

Luther tried to pry Mac off Psymon but it didn't work. Kaori just watched the fight in horror.

Psymon shoved off Mac and took out his knife. He held it up to Mac's neck. "You wanna screw around with me! Well, it's NOT gunna happen, buddy. I. Am. NOT the guy you wanna have as an enemy. I will KILL you in your sleep. Or I'll KILL you right now in front of your little girlfriend."

Mac looked at Psymon in fear. Luther was even shocked at what was happening. "Psymon, man, chill out. Put the knife away."

Psymon looked at him. "SHUT UP, YOU!"

Psymon looked down at Mac. "Say your prayers, Macky Boy!"

"NOOOO!" Kaori screamed.

Ohohoho. Suspenseful, no? ..No? No. Okay. Whatever. I'm gunna keep writing 'em. Heha. So, now that chapter 4 is done, I can chill while you get caught up. Write a review and then do a somersault. Yay somersaults!
