x) Orlando's Hot Chick - Oh, the sabbotaging of the wedding shall be very fun... very fun...LoL. Don't freak out on me! And I'm sorry I led you on like that, but I thought it'd be funny. More clarification to come! Thanks and enjoy! Woot! LoL...

x) Kenny - I noticed the pattern, too, LoL. My bad. Promise not to do it again, but we really didn't sabbotage it in JAOPS 3 so much... that was prayer, LoL. This is planned - attack! Haha... You'll see in about... two/ three more chapters what goes on. Thanks for reviewing for me! Enjoy this new chapter!

x) Sentinel Sparrow - Whoa, you pose a great question as Kenny has, LoL. I don't know! In this story, it's more actually planned out than it was in JAOPS 3. In our story, we were just hoping for something to go wrong, but here it's more of a bomb, haha. I know it seems like two sabbotages, and it might be, but there's a bit of distinguished difference, LoL. And yes, never underestimate Ronie with a skateboard! Thanks for the review! Enjoy!

Thanks everyone!

Chapter Fourteen

. Ronie's PoV .

We got some rooms in the lodge; like three. Me, Val, and Ana; Brandon and Julie; and Clay, Jack, and Will. We had time before the lifts opened, so Val some breakfast sent up. Ana left to go somewhere unimportant to me.

Then Val pestered me til I spilled about me and Clay.

"After he read me like a book and I came clean," I said from the front end of the bed where I was eatingm, "he asked for another kiss."

"I'm gonna kill him!" Vall said, mouth full.

She was sitting in front of me, up by the pillows on the bed.

"Chill, Val," I said. "It got hot and heavy again for like two minutes, but that was it."

"But why?" Val asked stupidly.

I sighed and didn't answer.

"Let me guess..." Val said, setting aside her plate. "BJ on the brain."

"Shut up," I said quietly.

Val just smiled.

"Oh, I'm so stupid," I said. "Get out of jail and go to your old boyfriend from five years ago. Sure, Ronie, you dip. He didn't bail you out, but he still loves you..."

"Oh, cut it out," Val said. "You aren't dumb. I've already filled that position."

"Val-"

"Ronie, shut up," she said. "BJ'll come around."

"I've already told you I don't care!" I said.

"Sure you do."

"I do not."

"Then what about the whole 'coming clean' thing with Clay?" Val asked.

I looked at her angrily and got up.

"Ah ha!" she yelled. "Denial!"

"Will you people QUIT with the denial thing!" I screamed.

"Denial! Denial! De-"

"SHUT UP!" I bellowed.

"Can I say one thing?" she asked.

"NO!"

"Did you find that skateboard in the camper? Cuz that was sweet-"

SLAM

I left the room and went down to the main lobby.

I am going to kill her...

Oh my gosh! They have chinos!

. Brandon's PoV .

. 3 hours later .

I was riding the lift with Jack and Clay. We were going snowboarding cuz skiing's boring.

Plus, I don't know how to.

"You ready for this, Jack?" Clay asked him as we reached the top.

"Aye," Jack said simply.

God does he look whack in snowboard ger.

We hobbled over to the top of the slope. Jack looked down like he was gonna be sick as this one dude beefed it.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Clay asked again.

"Of course," Jack said. "I can do this easily."

"Maybe it's another hidden talent," I commented.

"Let's hope so," Jack muttered as we got ready to go.

"Kay," Clay said. "Go!"

"Ah!"

While Jack fought to keep his balance, I was shreddin' and rippin' down this mountain with all this other weird lingo.

I did a few moves off the drifts, and this person next to me was copying me. After a couple more just to test this person out, I got evil.

"Okay, pal," I said to myself. "Let's see if you can handle this."

I did a triple spin, and the person followed. A flip, a 260, a double spin...

Damn, this person's good.

Then I did my own move.

The Devil's Dance.

I did it.

And so did the person!

Grr...

I looked at the person after he landed it.

My eyes widened.

Or she landed it.

"Ronie?" I whispered as I stared in disbelief.

She raised her eyebrows with her challenging smile and kept going.

My jaw dropped, and I still stared.

Oh my god!

How could I not see that it was her?

I looked forward again.

Crap. Tree.

Didn't see that, either.

CRUNCH

. Ronie's PoV .

The look on his face was priceless!I laughed all the way down to the bottom where I waited for him. Clay and Jack came rolling down the rest of the slope in a screaming jumble. They stopped at my feet moaning. Will suddenly came out of nowhere, too.

"Did you guys see Brandon?" I asked, looking for him.

"No," Clay said, getting up. "Wait... when did you get here?"

I ignored him and kept looking.

"Come on," I said. "We're riding the lift back up."

"What!" Will yelled. "I don't trust that thing. Forget you."

. On the lift .

"I hate you, Ronie," Will said. "How come Jack got to go back to the lodge, huh? Why not me? I wanted some cocoa! I'm freezing!"

"Because you are usually less of a baby, but I might be changing my mind," I said dangerously. "Shut up."

Clay was with us, too, but he was all quiet.

"Do you see him yet, Clay?" I asked,

"No, but there's a bunch of people around that tree right there."

Will and I looked down, and there were four ski patrol dudes there.

"Ooo, someone hit a tree," Will said.

"That's gotta suck," Clay said. "Glad it's not me!"

Suddenly, the lift made this really weird sound and stopped dead. We were rocking slowly back and forth, and I glared sideways at Clay.

"Yeah, glad it's not us!" I said sarcastically.

"Sorry," Clay mumbled.

"So now we're stuck in a ski lift!" I yelled. "Fabulous!"

"I said I was sorry!"

"Oh, just-"

"It's BJ!" Will shouted.

Clay and I shut up as Will pointed down to the tree. It was Brandon! They were putting him on a stretcher.

"Oops," I said. "My bad."

"Wait, that was you flying down the hill?" Will asked. "With BJ?"

"Yeah... matching Brandon's moves better than he did 'em," I added.

"Sweet..."

"Hey! Let's yell for help, too!" Clay suggested.

"Hey! Let's push you out the lift!" I said.

"Psh... whatever," Clay said.

"So now what?" Will asked.

"I guess we sit here and freeze our asses off til help comes," I said.

"Well that idea blows!" Clay yelled.

"We could always stick to the original idea and puch you out," I said.

"No thanks. My ass is overdue for a freezing anyways."

. Val's PoV .

. 8 PM .

Julie and I had just retired after skiing all day. The others went boarding, but I went skiing. Ha!

I got changed into my nightgown right beofre Jack opened the door.

"Hey, Jack, you seen Ronie and them?" I asked. "They aren't back yet."

"Well, Edwards hit a tree and is in the infirmary for the night," he said.

"What? That sucks!" I said. "So, have fun today?"

"Not my idea of fun, but it was interesting."

"Good."

There was an awkward silence between us as I brushed my hair. God, I hate awkward silences!

Suddenly, I saw Jack walk up behind me via mirror.

He started stroking my hair gently til I turned to him.

"Jack, last night at the dance... when you all ganged up on Alex like that-"

"He didn't treat ye right, luv," Jack said. "He's a shamed sailor."

I felt tears. I really like Alex, but he was so rude. I looked back up at Jack and blinked a few times. He was right. So I threw my arms around him and cried. He hugged me back akwardly and rocked me slowly.

"It hurts so bad," I cried."Now I... now I know what ronie goes through. In a way. I'm so dumb."

"Calm down, lass," he said. "Calm down."

"But I am..."

He tilted my chin up, and I looked at him.

"I don't wanna get hurt again," I sobbed.

Then he came inched from my face with the most serious look on his face I've even seen.

"I won't let ye," he said quietly. "I'll make sure of it."

I took a deep breath and dried my eye.

"--I'm so glad it was you in that box instead of Alex that night," I whispered as I sniffed a few times.

"Me, toom" Jack said. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Have what any other way?" I asked.

"You right herewith me," he said.

I was so happy. I dried my eyes and smiled.

"Jack-"

He cut me off with a kiss. I wasn't really prepared for that, but I kissed back. He wrapped his arm around my waist, and the other met the back of my head. I brought my arms up around his neck, and the kisses only deepened from there.

. Brandon's PoV .

I opened my eyes and squinted a bit.

Ow...

My body...

Pain...

"Uh, Brandon Edwards?" I heard some guy say.

"Yeah" I moaned.

"You've sustained a slight concussion, but you should be okay. As for right now, we've brought you back to the lodge, and there is a Julie Klydehare here to see you."

"Julie?"

I looked to my right, and she was sitting beside me.

"Hey," she said. "Val and I were coming back from skiing, but she went back up to the room. I saw them bring you in, and now I'm here."

"Wow... uh, what time is it?" I asked.

"About ten," the doctor said. "You've been out about three hours now."

I went to sit up, and my entire back suddenly cracked.

"Sheeze! You sure I only got a concussion?" I asked.

"You could've broken your neck," Julie said. "I suppose now we'll have to postpone the wedding -"

"No!" I siad.

"Brandon-"

"No, we aren't gonna postpone it."

"But the wedding's the day after tomorrow," Julie said. "Will you even be well enough?"

"Yeah, sure," I said. "We'll leave tomorrow and head back."

"I'd feel better if we waited another week or two..."

"Julie, I just got a little bruise on my brain. At most, I won't be able to drive home tomorrow, okay?" I said. "We're still gonna have the wedding."

She stopped after that, and I layed back into the bed.

The wedding has to go on. If it doesn't who knows what Ronie's gonna do to me. I couls end up in worse condition than this! Oh my god, I hate mind games. They hurt really bad. Ow...

. Ronie's PoV .

. 1 AM .

"W-ew are s-s-so gonna d-die from hypo-hypothermia," I shivered.

"C-can't we f-fall out and try our l-luck?" Clay asked.

"Not l-l-likely," Will muttered. "My b-butt's frozen and so is th-the lock on this st-stupid thing."

"H-huddle together," I said. "We'll st-stay warmer."

Clay and Will tried their best ti scooch next to me, and I felt a bit warmer.

"Th-there, see?" I said.

"I'm tired," Clay said.

"D-don't fall asleep," Will warned. "Y-you won't w-wake up."

"But I c-cant feel any of-of my body," Clay moaned.

"Join th-the club," I said.

"C-can we check the l-lock again?"

I pushed Clay away from me, and he started shrieking. Will and I looked over at him; his tongue was stuck to the side bar, Clay still shrieked.

So we laughed.
