Summary: How did four wildly different people become friends? Well, it all started with a video….

"This must most ridiculous thing I have ever seen," Vida said as she watched.

"Come on…I think it is neat!" Chip said as he dumped the soap flakes on top of Xander's head.

"HEY!" Xander said as he wiped the soap from his head.

"Xander…stop wiping them off. You suppose to be a climber," Maddie said as she moved away from the camera.

"It doesn't snow that much!"

"How do you know? You said you been to the base!" She said in annoyance.

"Well..uhhh…"

"Vida, stop messing with him," Her sister said.

She folded her arms across her chest.

"Since when you two were friends!"

Maddie sighed softly as she pulled to her to the side.

"What is wrong, sis?"

"I don't trust him, Maddie. He has been a jerk to us for months. Now, you and Chip are all buddy buddy with him," She said angrily.

"He isn't so bad once you get to know him," Maddie said as she looked at the boys throwing soap flakes at each other.

"You guys…stop it! OR we won't have any soap flakes left," Maddie said before she turned back around to her.

"Give him a chance…okay?"

She groaned to herself as Maddie walked away. Give that jerk a chance. HA! Never.

She sat back down in the chair and watched Maddie do another take as she would call it. This was the most stupid idea she has ever seen. Who would believe that is a mountain or Xander is a climber? Chip and Xander sooo couldn't build anything if they tried.

"Mt. Kosciuszko is the tallest mountain in Australia. The peak is usually covered in snow during the winter and spring months. That never stops the skiers from coming due the snow poles and the guide up to the summit during the winter. As mountains go, it is pretty easy. You can even walk to the top with the help of chain rail…but me? I am taking the hard way up….a good old fashion mountain climb…" Xander said as he tried to climb the fake mountain.

"And cut! Good work, Xander," Maddie said.

"Thanks," He said with a grin.

"I thought it was terrible." She said as she folded her arms.

Maddie glanced over at her.

"How about a break? Snacks anyone?" Chip said as he jumped down from the chair.

"Good idea. A coke would do, mate," Xander said.

"V?"

"Gimme those pack of cheese crackers in the cabinet." She said as she stared at Xander.

"Okay…urgh…come on, Maddie…you've to help me," Chip said as he dragged her sis with him into the house.

Xander watched them go then stared at her.

"Don't stare at me," She said with a snap in her voice.

"Can't help it…you're staring at me."

"Because I don't like you."

"Always honest I see. Why don't you like me?"

"Because you're a jerk."

He sighed softly.

"Look…I know, I wasn't the best person when we first met."

"You were a jerk."

"Yes…I was a jerk. A big one…but I'm not that person anymore,"

"Really now…you are a type of guy who follows the beat that everyone else follows," She said angrily.

"What?!" Xander said in confusion.

"How many times did Jessica smile sweetly at you to make you trip Maddie when she got up from her chair? Or Billy poked you to pull on Chip's cape and nearly choking him."

He looked in shame.

"I'm sorry, okay! I didn't know them at the time! Maddie may be shy...but she is a great person. She listens what I have to say. Chip is a weird kid brother that I always wanted."

"What happened when the popular kids ask you back?" She said.

"I'm not going to lie, V. I'm going to talk to them.."

"I knew!"

"But…I know who my friends, mate. That is what important," He said seriously. She stared at him for a moment. This guy was such an idiot…and she has no clue what to think of Xander Bly.

"Hmm….." She said.

"Well, I was hoping that we could be friends too."

"If this is some ruse to see how the oddballs work…"

"NO! Why can't you trust me?"

She thought for a moment. Maybe, she gave him a chance…if he harmed even a hair or a feeling on Maddie or Chip…she beat the crap out of him.

"I suppose…I could give you a chance. What is your favorite band?"

"Stone Temple Pilots."

"It is a start."

-MFMFMF-

Carefully, Chip looked through the window to see Xander and V throwing soap flakes at each other. He smiled to himself.

"Well…did it work?" Maddie said.

"Yup…we are going to need more soap flakes…but it was worth it."

"Good."

He held out his hand for high five and Maddie hit his hand in accomplishment.
