AN-Wow, it's been ages. I swear, today Katie and Maddie were begging me to tell their story...I mean...I felt like updating...hehe...

It was Christmas vacation for the students of Eden Hall. It was a time for lounging around, sleeping in, and doing absolutely nothing for two weeks straight.

Adam Banks made his way into the room of his little sister. Katie looked up, and smiled.

''What's up?'' she asked.

He sat down onto her bed and brandished a flyer in her face. "It's perfect.''

"What's perfect?'' she asked, taking the flyer from him.

It was an advertisement for fun times in the mountains.

"I don't understand." she said.

"We've been so bored lately, what with Christmas coming and passing. We still have a week left in our vacation. Let's gather some Ducks and head to our cabin."

About 10 years ago, the Banks had bought a slightly large cabin in the heart of the mountains, which they rarely used.

"Who would we drag along?'' Katie asked.

"Maddie, Dean, Julie, Fulton, Tammy, Charlie, Connie, and Guy." Adam said, ticking a finger off for each one.

"Do you think dad would mind?''

"Are you kidding? Dad is quite happy now a days, I doubt he'd even bat an eyelash."

Katie made a face, but it was true. Ever since their father began dating Casey, he was a lot happier.

"I already brought the idea to him. He said go, have fun."

"Then we may as well." Katie said.

Adam grinned and high fived his sister.

"This is going to be amazing!'' exclaimed Maddie.

"So much fun.'' Connie agreed.

''A blast!'' Tammy said.

The five girls were hanging around Katie's room. It was the night before the trip, and everyone was crashing at Casa de Banks. Their bags were packed safe into the trunk of Adam's Jeep and Tammy's mother's mini van, which she was graciously letting Fulton drive.

"I can't wait to get up there, and get the hell away from this town for a few days." Katie said.

"I can't wait to spend some time with my boyfriend.'' Julie said.

''You're lucky. Fulton hasn't made a move since Thanksgiving.'' said a bitter Tammy.

"So, why not use this trip to tip the cards in your favor.'' Maddie said.

"What, make him jealous?''

''Exactly.''

"I can't wait to until tomorrow." Guy said.

The boys were all situated in the living room with the giant TV, the many video games, and the twenty four hour kitchen.

"Yea, getting as far away as possible from my dad will be heaven." Adam muttered.

"I hear ya, man." Charlie said.

"Aw, Charlie. Can you honestly tell me you aren't excited by the idea that you might end up being Banksie's brother?" Dean asked.

"That would also make him Katie's brother." Fulton said, grinning.

''Fuck off.'' Charlie snapped.

He rolled off the couch and made his way into the kitchen.

"What crawled up his ass?'' Dean muttered.

''Scott came by his place yesterday, getting the last of his stuff. Apparently it wasn't too cheery.'' Adam explained.

"He's still not coping?'' Guy asked.

"Can't blame him. Scott was pretty awesome...until he became the weasel." Fulton said.

"He's lucky we weren't there. We would have pounded him for what he did to Charlie and his mom.'' Dean said.

Katie walked into the kitchen and smiled seeing the familiar boy searching the fridge.

''Having fun?'' she asked.

He looked up, grinning at her. He closed the door and grabbed her hand, tugging her closer.

"Absolutely. You?''

''Oh a blast. Can't wait for the makeovers."

He chuckled and pressed a soft kiss onto her lips. "So, how's the sleeping arrangement for tomorrow?''

"Believe it or not, Adam decided to have all the couples room together. Then Tammy and Maddie will have to share, and so will Dean and Fulton.''

''So, we'll have our own room?'' he asked, grinning wickedly.

''Yes, but that doesn't mean anything will happen.'' Katie reminded him.

"I know...but that doesn't mean we can't be...prepared.''

She pushed him away, and looked at him carefully. "Meaning what?''

He sighed. "Kat, you never know what may happen."

"Please, don't tell me you're one of those guys who carries a condom in their wallet.''

"It's not what you think Kat. I don't expect anything.'' he tried explaining.

She shook her head. "Oh please Charlie, what else could you be expecting by carrying around protection!" she hissed.

"Kat.'' he began, impatiently.

"I thought you said you were willing to wait.'' she whispered.

"I am.'' he said, forcibly.

"Yea, right.'' she scoffed.

And with that, she disappeared out of the kitchen.

"Are we there yet!'' Maddie asked for the fifth time that morning.

Her, Adam, Julie, Charlie, and Katie were all crammed into Adam's Jeep. The rest of the gang were all comfortably sitting in the mini van, driving behind them.

Adam clutched the steering wheel, trying to concentrate. Charlie chuckled from his seat in the passenger side.

"Soon Mads.''

Maddie crossed her arms and fell back against the seat. She was stuck in the middle of Katie and Julie.

"But soon is not soon enough. I am soooooooooo bored."

"Katie, will you please entertain your friend?'' Adam pleaded.

"Sure.'' Katie murmured, staring out the window.

Adam looked in the mirror at his sister worriedly. "What's with you? You're like barely alive.''

Katie shrugged, while Charlie gazed out his window, a guilty look coming and going before Adam could notice.

They finally arrived outside the cozy, two story cabin. Maddie was happy.

"Ok, now before we do anything, here are your room assignments.'' Adam announced.

Everyone looked at him, as if he were crazy.

''What?'' he asked.

"Oh God...I just got a vision of Adam's future career. Camp counselor!'' Charlie exclaimed.

"Shut up Spaz. Look, just take the map and you can find which room is your in the house."

Charlie and Guy exchanged a look, but Connie came up, smacking them both on the head before they could say anything. Everyone grabbed a map and made their way inside the house.

Katie entered a guest room on the second floor, to see Charlie already there, unpacking his things.

"Hey.'' she said.

"Hey." he said.

She too began to unpack and the room was filled with an uncomfortable silence. A few minutes later, with her clothes unpacked and nothing else to do, Katie turned to Charlie.

"So, are we going to spend the entire trip this way?'' she asked.

He sighed, running a hand through his hair in an agitated way. "I hope not.''

Katie sighed and sank down onto the bed. Charlie hesitantly sat down next to her.

"Kat, I know you think I'm expecting something, but I'm not. It's just in case we end up going to far, we'll be ok.''

"Charlie I know. I'm sorry for acting like such a bitch it's just...sex!'' she exclaimed.

''What about it?'' he asked.

''Everyone does it. Connie and Guy, half our school. Even...Julie and my brother.'' Katie said, making a face.

"How do you know?'' Charlie asked.

"I went looking for some money in his room. Came across his condom stash. Not a pleasant memory.'' she said.

''I'd think not." he said. "Can we get back on topic though?''

"Sure.''

''Kat, I love you. With all my heart and I will never pressure you for anything. Please, believe that.''

Katie smiled and embraced Charlie, kissing him. "I love you too.''

As the young couple sat there in each others arms, the confusing thoughts in Katie's mind began to clear, each one pointing the same way.

"Are you fucking serious?'' Dean Portman asked.

He was standing in a room. Not just any room, but a room belonging to a certain female Banks child. When she was about five years old!

The walls were decorated with pink bunnies and flowers. The carpeting was pink. The bed sets were pink. The room was basically a pink bomb that exploded.

''I didn't think Katie loved pink this much as a little girl.'' Fulton said.

"She didn't.'' Adam walked into the room. "But mom insisted her room look like a little girls room.''

"Why the hell did you put us in here?'' Dean demanded.

Adam shrugged, clearly unfazed. "It was a random room selection.''

"Dude.'' Fulton said, finally coming to a realization. "There's only one bed.''

"Banksie, there is no way I'm going broke back cabin.'' Dean snarled.

''Chill out, there's a trundle bed underneath. You guys will have to decide who gets what. Have fun.''

With something sounding suspiciously like a chuckle, Adam left the room.

Later in the afternoon, the gang all decided to find something to do. Maddie and Tammy went to the ski lodge, with Dean and Fulton following. Adam and Julie went snow boarding. Connie, Guy, Charlie, and Katie hit the slopes.

The Ski Lodge

Tammy and Maddie sat at one of the tables close to the stage. They sipped hot cocoa and watched the different acts.

''Man, this is the best vacation ever!'' Tammy squealed.

''Yea, and Fulton hasn't taken his eyes off you all day.'' Maddie said.

Tammy smiled and, out of the corner of her eye, spotted Fulton and Dean sitting at a different table. They were both staring in their direction.

"Well, Dean hasn't taken his eyes off you.''

Maddie blushed.

''Seriously, is there something between you guys?'' Tammy asked.

"I liked him forever, and he just wanted to be friends. Now...who knows.''

Just then two guys walked over.

"Would you ladies like another cocoa, on us?'' one of them asked.

Before Maddie could decline, Tammy nudged her, and grinned.

''We'd love some.''

They grinned and hurried away.

''What the hell Tammy?''

"We're making them jealous. Hush.''

The boy returned quickly and sat down at their table. They introduced themselves as Mark and Roger Johansson. Their family was vacationing here as well.

Fulton and Dean watched from their table, eyes narrowed in anger. Dean stood up, and Fulton grabbed his arm.

''What are you doing?''

''Going over there.''

''Dude, why. You and Maddie aren't anything.''

''You think I don't know that? Look man, I've been wasting this whole year by just sitting back. I'm gonna take action.''

Before Fulton could stop him, he was heading to the girls table. With a sigh, he followed.

''Excuse me, but I believe you boys were just about to leave.'' Dean said.

Maddie, Tammy, Mark, and Roger looked up just as Fulton walked up to the table.

"We were?'' Mark asked.

''Yes, because you see, you're wasting your time.''

Mark, clearly the more intimidated one, sat up at once. With a farewell wave to Maddie, he was gone. Roger, however, turned to Tammy. "Am I wasting my time?''

Fulton walked over to where Tammy sat, grabbed her hand and pulled her up. The moment she was standing, he was kissing her, passionately.

''That answer your question?'' Dean asked, smirking.

Roger glared and followed his brother. Maddie turned on Dean.

''What the hell Portman?'' she asked.

Dean sighed, suddenly nervous. "I didn't like the way those guys were looking at you.''

''You were jealous?'' she asked, hopefully.

''No...just concerned.''

Maddie sighed, and went to sit back down, only to see Tammy and Fulton still kissing. She stood up and walked over to where the boys were sitting.

''Mads, I'm sorry.'' Dean said, sitting down next to her.

She sighed, and then grinned. ''You were jealous.''

''Was not.'' he said.

''You were too.''

''Was not.''

''Were too.''

Later that day, Charlie and Guy charged into the ski lodge carrying Katie in their arms. Connie walked in behind them. Adam and Julie were sitting on the couches next to the fire, but immediately hurried over to the group. So did the rest of the gang.

''What happened?'' Maddie asked.

''She fell while skiing.'' Charlie explained. "We tried to get her to go to the doctors.''

''I'm fine Charlie. Look, just help me back to the house so I can rest. I'll be fine.''

''Are you sure Kat?'' Adam asked, clearly worried.

''I'll be fine. Please, stop fussing.''

Charlie grumbled and helped Katie up. She leaned on him for support, able to make it back to the cabin.

''My sister, the klutz.'' Adam muttered after she left.

Everyone laughed and started making their way back to what they were doing. Tammy and Fulton sat back on their couch and began to kiss again. Dean and Maddie sat at a table, talking and laughing. Connie and Guy made their way to the couches too, collapsing on them.

Charlie carefully lay Katie down on their bed.

''I'll be right back with some aspirin.''

He ran downstairs into the kitchen and poured her some water. Grabbing the pill bottle, he raced back upstairs, stopping in surprise when he saw Katie standing up.

''Kat, you're gonna hurt your ankle even more!'' he exclaimed.

''Charlie, I didn't hurt it in the first place.'' she said.

He stopped, looking carefully at her. ''Seriously?''

''Yea, I know how to ski perfectly. I never fall. You'd think Adam would remember.''

''Then why the lie?''

She grinned, and moved forward placing her hands on his shoulders. "I wanted to be alone with you.''

They kissed passionately. As the kiss deepened, Katie started pressing herself against him, causing Charlie to walk backwards. He hit the door and looked at his girlfriend in shock.

With am impish grin, she locked the door, kissing his cheek in the process.

"Kat...what are you doing?'' Charlie asked, his voice squeaking nervously.

''Ever since our talk, I've been thinking.''

She took his hand, leading him towards the bed.

''Katie.''

''I love you, Charlie. With my mind, body and soul.'' she kissed him. ''I want you to be my first.''

Katie removed her shirt. Charlie swallowed staring at her. She bit her lip nervously under his intense gaze.

''What?'' she asked.

''You're so beautiful.'' he whispered.

She blushed and leaned up to kiss him. As the kiss turned more passionate, he broke away, leaving a trail down her neck. She gasped softly as he nibbled her collar bone.

''Charlie.'' she whispered.

He picked her up and set her onto the bed. Hovering over her, he looked into her eyes.

''I'm sure.'' she murmured.

He leaned down to kiss her again.

AN- And that's where we end. I'll try not to stay away so long next time and I'll try to write some more tomorrow, but idk if I'll be able to...the Kids Choice Awards will be on!
