Author's note: Hello again everyone. Owing to cruel, sadistic teachers who give finals and homework, I am currently only able to write over the weekend mostly. Therefore, I try to get as much done as possible. Just to get you hyped up, I will tell you that before the Whistler section is over, there will be a new pairing (so there will be Sly/Carm, Bent/Penel, and ?) in the gang. To cause suspense, I will not tell you who is in the pairing, hahahahahhahahahaha. You will just have to read in order to find out. Also, I have started a new forum for all lovers of Sly Cooper. Ciao!

When the gang landed in Vancouver, they all proceeded to the airport. Grabbing their stuff from baggage check, they went out in to the nearly sub-zero weather. Outside, they waited for the person Cedric had called, Julie, to pick them up.

Waiting in the freezing cold, Sly wondered if and when Cedric's friend would show up. Suddenly, three cars cam rocketing around the corner, just under the speed limit. The cars pulled to a screeching halt right in front of the group. The first car was a deep purple Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, the second was a black Lexus GS 450h, and the third was a blue Toyota Sequoia. Cedric ran forward and began examining the Lexus inch by inch.

"You did leave the auto-drive on right?" Cedric asked looking at the driver of the Lancer through the window, "and you didn't do anything reckless getting here right?"

The driver of the Lancer stepped out and shook her head. She was a lynx, and a very pretty one too. She had long, highlighted, strawberry-blond hair and a figure most women would kill for.

"Don't go crazy, I didn't touch your baby," she reassured Cedric nonchalantly, "I simply turned on the follow function and drove the Lancer, calm down."

"Sorry," said Cedric , "It's just that I put too much effort into this car for you to total it like the last one."

"Hey, that tree had never been on that road when I drove there before," the lynx objected, "It was an honest mistake."

The lynx girl stepped forward and put out her hand towards Sly.

"I'm sorry we haven't been introduced. I'm Julie Summers," she said, taking in the extremely handsome raccoon she was looking at.

"Sly Cooper," said Sly politely, taking her hand and kissing it.

Carmelita glared at Julie and began to step forward as if to yank Sly back. Sly however, let go of Julie's hand and introduced the others.

"This is the brains of our gang, Bentley," he said pointing to each person as he did, "this is Penelope, his girlfriend, and this gorgeous beauty is Carmelita."

Carmelita calmed down as Sly slid over next to her and reached one arm behind her back and began rubbing her shoulders. Carmelita shivered slightly as Sly's rubbing relaxed her.

Julie cursed under her breath when she learned that the hunk of a raccoon was spoken for. Annoyed she walked towards the Lancer, but Grace jumped into the drivers seat right before she did.

"Hey! What was that for?" she asked.

"I like my car in one piece, thank you very much. I think I'll drive her home. You can pick which car to ride in," Grace said, smiling.

Sly and Carmelita jumped into Cedric's Lexus, and were shocked when they saw the inside of his car. He had altered the car's inside so much that it was almost unrecognizable.

"You like? I tricked her out during one of my off days. She's got a surround sound system, satellite TV, DVD player, wireless Ether-net, satellite video feed, and there are TV screens on the back of the front seats while the driver and the passenger seats have fold-down screens on the roof. The car has an auto pilot and, if necessary, there is an automated defense system. I figured if we were going to have a vacation, we might as well get there in style," said Cedric proudly.

While Sly and Carmelita were stunned by the interior, Hugo slipped into the passenger seat. Julie, grumbling, had gotten into the passenger seat of the Lancer, while Penelope and Bentley got into the back seat. Grace insisted they leave the Sequoia on auto pilot or else Julie would want to drive it.

Sly and Carmelita got into the back of Cedric's Lexus and they took off, radio blasting as they traveled quickly to their cabin, right on the slope of Whistler.

Once they go to the cabin, they spent a few hours preparing it for anything they might have to do. Then, Cedric drove the whole group down to Whistler Village to get their gear.

Cedric already had a pair of Rossignol Z-7s, and Hugo had his own custom board, but none of the others had their own gear. Sly had gone skiing before, as had the others, but he had never gotten his own gear. Once there, Sly, Carmelita, Grace, and Penelope each found their own pair of skis, while Julie got a snowboard. Bentley spoke with the assistant and after a few minutes, they had put together a pair of skis that could be controlled from the handset on Bentley's wheelchair. They picked up the rest of their gear and charged onto the slopes.

Grace offered to help Sly, Carmelita, and Penelope warm up and get Bentley used to his wheel chair. Cedric, Julie, and Hugo took the gondola up to the top and went down the black diamond run Ratfink to warm up, before taking the Harmony Express up to Little Whistler Peak.

"You guys ready to shred?" asked Julie anxiously.

Cedric and Hugo looked at each other, then charged forward and leapt off, diving into Glacier Bowl (black diamond). Julie grumbled about them leaving her behind, then jumped off after them. Taking the Peak chair to Whistler Peak, they took a series of double and single black diamond runs down the mountain until they reached the bottom. Meeting up with Sly and the others, they went off to find Murray.
