A/N: This is a sequel to the last chapter "Never Think". It picks up a few months after the other one stops. Hope you like it! PS: These past few chapters have been named after some sort of musical influence, so this story doesn't necessarily take place in Montana, as the chapter is named, but was inspired by the song "Montana" by Venus Hum.

Lil Kitsune-Chan: Here's the follow-up you wanted!

Raven 2547: Glad to satisfy your craving and I appreciate how you think I'm awesome.

forgetMEalways: I'm glad to have climbed that high on your list! I'll admit that I have some...strange philosophies like that one myself. You should hear my theories on Santa... lol.

anonomous//guest: With the exception of the haikus, none of the lyrics/prose belong to me. The title of the chapter is the title of the song to which the lyrics belong. And I'm glad you think I'm cool. You see, most peole that know me in real life think I'm a little on the nerdy/dorky side. XD

asakage: Well here's another one you can add to your list of favorites. Now with 300% more Chase than chapter 1! (...which had no Chase XD)

IMPORTANT NOTE: My original slash is now posted on fictionpress. The story's title is "Number Five" and the username is Embers In My Heart. Please check it out! Kthnxbai. lol


"Alex! Alex stop!" Tyler laughed.

Tyler had decided they needed a vacation. So he picked up Alex from his aunt's house, Reid from the arcade, Caleb the library, and Chase from work and they all caught a flight to a cabin Tyler's mom owned in the middle of some forgotten mountain range.

Alex was currently in the process of pelting Tyler with snowballs and giggling as the snow stuck to his cousin's hair.

"Ima get you, Monster!" Tyler yelled.

He started running after Alex, always making sure he never quite caught up with his cousin. Reid was off in his own little world not far away from Tyler and Alex making a snowman. Alex ran by the snowman and Tyler followed close behind, slipping on an icy patch and falling over, taking Reid's snowman with him. Reid looked down at the snow-covered Tyler for a moment, a blank expression on his face. Tyler was in shock from the fall, Reid was in shock that twenty minutes of work had disappeared so suddenly, and Alex was half-expecting to get yelled at. Reid started laughing at the snow-covered Tyler which started Alex laughing and Tyler eventually joined in. Reid pulled Tyler to his feet, holding Tyler's gloved hand in his own. He walked over to Alex and scooped him up, balancing the kindergardener on his hip with all the practiced ease of a many-times-over mother.

"Come on, Cookie Monster. Let's get some hot chocolate." Reid grinned.

Tyler wrapped an arm around Reid's waist and Reid threw his free arm around the brunette's shoulders.

"With marshmallows?!" Alex asked loudly.

"I dunno. What do you think, Ty? Do Cookie Monsters deserve marshmallows in their hot chocolate?" Reid asked Tyler with a smile.

"I dunno, Reid. What do you think Alex? Do Cookie Monsters get marshmallows in their hot chocolate?" Tyler asked his cousin.

"Yeah! Cookie Monsters get lots of marshmallows in their hot chocolate!" Alex yelled.

"If you say so..." Reid smiled.

"That's a real-life Kodak moment if I ever saw one." Chase smiled, shaking his head.

He was walking around mountain with Caleb and a camera, taking nature photos.

"They're cut in their own way, aren't they?" Caleb agreed.

Chase wandered into a row of trees and managed to snap a picture of a squirrel digging through the snow, looking for an acorn. Caleb walked through the trees after the older teen, a bare tree limb catching his jacket, knocking him off balance and sending him sprawling. He looked down and realized he'd landed on Chase who'd just managed to put his camera out of danger.

"Well hello, gorgeous." Chase smiled.

Caleb moved to get off of Chase, but the older teen grabbed Caleb by the scarf and pulled him back down, pressing their lips together. He waited for Caleb to start enjoying himself and he wrapped his fingers in Caleb's black hair. They laid there in the secluded, snow-covered woods for several long minutes that felt more like seconds. Chase eventually pushed Caleb away.

"Are you done?" Chase asked with a smirk.

"You started it."

"And the snow under me has melted and soaked my jacket. I'm freezing." Chase rolled his eyes.

Caleb got off of Chase and helped him up. Chase pressed Caleb against a tree and kissed him again.

"I thought you were cold." Caleb panted.

"I felt like kissing you again and I don't think Reid and Tyler would appreciate this much mature material being played out in front of Alex." Chase shrugged.

Caleb nodded and he walked back towards the cabin, Chase holding his hand.

"We were looking for you guys." Reid mused as he heated milk in a saucepan on the stove in the large cabin's kitchen.

"We got hot chocolate!" Alex yelled.

Tyler patted Alex on the head and reminded him that good Cookie Monsters used indoor voices.

"We took a little tumble out in the woods while we were looking for pictures and our clothes got filled with snow, so we're going to get changed into something dry." Chase smiled before dragging Caleb into the bedroom they were sharing.

Reid raised an eyebrow at Tyler and the brunette made a kissy-face at his lover. Reid laughed and Alex started humming a made-up song to himself as he colored in a coloring book.

"Look Tyler! I'm stayin' in the lines!" Alex chirped happily.

"You are! Now, I need you to finish that hot chocolate and go take a nap for me, Lex."

"But Tyler! The snow!" Alex whined.

"The snow isn't going anywhere, Alex. It'll still be there after your nap." Tyler promised.

"Reid! Tell him I don't gotta!"

"Nope. You gotta take a nap. Cookie Monsters that don't nap don't get any more hot chocolate." Reid said gravely.

Alex finished the last gulp of his hot chocolate and hurried off to his room where he lay down in his bed.

"You've certainly got a way with kids." Tyler smirked, hooking his fingers through the belt loops on Reid's jeans and pulling him close.

"Of course I have. I've dealt with you long enough." Reid joked.

"Funny." Tyler said before kissing Reid.

"I wonder...how...Chase and...Caleb...are taking to the...sleeping arrangements." Reid mused between kisses.

"I don't think they're going to be complaining. And what's Caleb mean when he says you and Chase had to teach him about geology before he could be happy in his relationship?" Tyler demanded.

"Well, at the beginning, his relationship with Chase was this ugly-ass rock." Reid started.

"What?" Tyler looked at Reid.

Reid told Tyler to hear him out. The blond turned off the stove and draped an arm around Tyler's shoulders, leading him to the couch, explaining all the while his philosophy on how love and rocks were a lot alike...
