Author: I developed a new reviewing system.
Amu: Cool.
Author: If I get 0-1 reviews on a chapter, I'll update in 3 days, if I get 2-4 reviews on a chapter, I'll update in 2 days, if I get 5-9 reviews, I'll update in 1 day, if I get ten or more reviews, I'll update twice in one day if I can.
Ikuto: So you've resorted to bribery? And by the way, that system is way too complicated.
Author: Long story short, the more readers review, the faster the updates :)
Amu: (Sighs)
OoOoOoO Competition And Getting Lost OoOoOoO
I started to get dressed into my outfit.
When I was finished, I looked decent.
My coat was icy green colored, and misty gray abstract designs on it.
I had on a mint green hat, dark gray gloves, thick black leggings to keep my legs warm in the cold, and plain green pants over the leggings.
Some how, I managed to stay stylish despite wearing winter gear.
I came out of the bathroom, and saw that all my lodge mates were already here, unpacking their stuff.
A medium sized guy with long, maize colored hair, and orchid rose eyes, cruised his way to me.
"I'm Hotori Tadase, but you can just call me Tadase. I'm in 10ht grade, so you probably have not seen me before." Tadase said, with a kind expression.
I was surprised at his kindness, most teen boys these days are the opposite of Tadase.
But I can't believe this guy is in 10Th grade! He looks like a 6Th or 7Th grader because of his round face almost like a child's, and he isn't very tall either. Probably 5 feet tall.
I bet if you compared this guy to Ikuto, who is almost 7 feet tall, it'd look kinda funny.
"I'm... Amu Hinamori, you can call me Amu." I replied back, and Tadase in turn grinned at me.
I had a few more introductions from my lodge mates. I met Kairi Sanjo, a 10Th grader bookworm who is pretty quiet, he has hunter green colored hair, and sky blue eyes.
I also met Yuiki Yaya, another 10Th grader. She acts like a kid in grade school, and is very childish, but she also seems to have a close relationship with Kairi. She has long amber hair tied up in pig tails, and amber eyes as well.
Finally, the last person was Rima Mashiro. She didn't say much so I don't really know how she acts besides that. She had long, wavy blonde hair that cascades down to lower back, and honey colored eyes.
And you all know who Nagihiko, or Nagi is. He came back about 10 minutes later after he had a misunderstanding about him thinking Ikuto and I were making out.
Everyone took turns in the dressing rooms, and once everyone had finished, we all headed outside and headed to the mountain.
The air outside was freezing cold, but when I breathed it in, it smelled nice and pure.
However, while Rima, Nagi, Ikuto, Tadase, Kairi, Yaya and I were walking to the mountain, I noticed that Ikuto kept giving Tadase hostile looks and digging his midnight blue eyes onto Tadase.
Tadase didn't notice, he was off in his own world humming some kind of tune.
Since we were all walking in a group, I slithered past Rima so I could walk next to Ikuto.
I poked Ikuto on the left side, and he swiftly looked towards me. "What is it?"
"Why do you keep looking at Tadase like that?" I whispered to him quietly so the rest of the group couldn't hear.
I saw Ikuto's gaze harden, and fill with anger, but he concealed it away in a matter of seconds. "I'm not."
I shrugged, and kept walking. Normally, I would have asked more until Ikuto finally told me, but it seemed like a sensitive topic to Ikuto, so I stopped. It would be like poking a bad bruise.
Anyways, when we finally got to the foot of the mountain after what seemed like hours of walking, all the other students had already arrived, and they all gathered around 3 teachers. Our group joined the huge mob of teens.
"Alright!" The teacher announced loudly. "The place to get our skis is at the top of the mountain."
The teacher motioned with his hand up to the large mountain, and a bunch of kids groaned.
"The mountain will take about an hour if you walk fast, and about an 2 hours if you go at a normal pace." The teacher started. "Once you get to the top of the mountain, you will have to go to the small silver building. There, you can get your skis. Also, while you are traveling up the mountain, I want you to stay in a group with you lodge partners. Do you understand?"
"Yes!" Most of the teens responded back.
Oh great. I've gotta go up the huge mountain.
I let my eyes travel up and down the mountain. The whole thing had snow covering it, and not a single spot could be seen that didn't have snow. And this thing looked like it was gonna take more than a hour to climb...
The teacher waved us of to start heading up the mountain.
Kairi lead our group, behind Kairi was Yaya, then Tadase, then Rima, then Nagi, and then Ikuto and I at the very back.
All of the different groups split up at different ways to travel up the mountain, so our group basically had this part of the mountain to ourselves.
For a while, it was boring. No talking, just plain old hiking up the mountain. But then something funny happened.
Ikuto tripped over a small stone buried under the stone, and started to tumble backwards down the hill.
At the last second, Ikuto grabbed onto Tadase's burgundy colored jacket, (Tadase was in front of Ikuto at the time) and dragged Tadase down with him.
At first, all I heard was a quiet groan from Ikuto and a high pitched yelp from Tadase.
Our whole group turned around and watched as Ikuto and Tadase rolled down the mountain in a heap.
However, Ikuto and Tadase started to roll into the direction of a tree on the mountain... I'm sure you all know how that is going to end...
Ikuto's legs were forced to be spread open while he was rolling, and he hit his nuts right on the tree...
Tadase was more fortunate. He got his but smashed on the tree, but at least that is better than getting your private part smashed...
"GAHH!." Ikuto and Tadase screeched in unison.
Ouch... That has gotta hurt...
(About an hour later, after Amu's group had hiked up the mountain, and gotten their skis and put them on)
Lucky for us, the mountain had it's own ski slope, separate from the way you come up the mountain. And after you skated down the slope, you could ride you're way back up in a cable car.
I waded through the snow to the ski slope. I looked around for the rest of my group, and I saw that they weren't far behind me.
Tadase skied up to me smoothly, leaving long tread-marks in the snow. "Hi, Amu." He greeted, and smiled.
I smiled back, and Tadase went up a ski ramp, and high in the air. He landed in the middle of the slope perfectly.
"Hey wait for me Tadase!" I called down to him, for he was already accelerating down the slope.
Tadase skidded to a halt, and waited for me.
I made my way up the ramp, and when I skied over the ramp, I found myself VERY high in the air. Way higher than Tadase was.
Fear rose in my chest. "Gahh!"
I started to fall, but Tadase caught me just in time, and held me bridal style. "Are you alright, Amu?"
From the corner of my eye, I swear I thought I saw Ikuto looking and Tadase and I.
Sure enough, I was right. When I looked up at the ski ramp, Ikuto was standing on it, looking at Tadase and I with... Jealousy...?
Why would he be jealous?
Oh well.
"I'm fine. Thanks, Tadase." I said, and Tadase gingerly set me down.
Since I wasn't that far down on the slope, I didn't need to take the cable car up, so I just crawled my way up.
While I was going up the hill, I watched as Ikuto jumped from the skate ramp, did a perfect and skillful leap, and landed softly on the snow.
That showoff! I'll show him who rules around here.
I finally got back up the slope, and I waded across the snow and went on the ramp.
I looked down from the ramp, and saw that Ikuto was staring off into space while standing in the middle of the slope, his back was facing me, and I realized the perfect opportunity to kick Ikuto's ass... Literally.
I leaped off the ramp, and aimed my direction for Ikuto.
He was still staring off in the sky, a weird look on his face.
Ikuto deserves this for teasing me in the bathroom earlier today!
I started to fall, and I put my feet out in front of me...
And kicked Ikuto right in the butt.
When I kicked Ikuto in the butt, he tumbled down the ski slope, and fell on his face.
I couldn't hold it in, and I started to laugh like crazy while trying to hold my balance on my skis after I had kicked Ikuto.
I ended up falling just like Ikuto, and I also fell down the slope.
Jeez, what is up with everyone falling down hills today!?
Ikuto was laying at the bottom of the slope, and when I came rolling down after him, I literally rolled right on top of him.
Lets just say we were in a awkward position, he was on bottom, facing me, and I was on top, facing him. It the perfect position for-
"It's the perfect position for making love, Amu-koi." Ikuto said with a smirk.
I growled at him, and Ikuto chuckled.
I rolled off of him, and got up, and Ikuto mirrored my movements.
"Lets go ride the cable car back up together, Amu dear." I heard Ikuto laugh quietly at the end of the sentence.
Did he just call me Amu DEAR?
I followed after Ikuto, grumbling under my breath about how Ikuto teases me non stop.
The cable car only had 4 things to ride up in, and they went around a tall cliff to reach the top of the slope, which would be a problem for people who are afraid of heights.
Ikuto and I got into the car, well, not the vehicle type of car, but I'm sure you know what I mean. And it was pretty squished in the car, I think it was only made to hold one person per car.
The cable car Ikuto and I were in started to rise up, and we started going over the huge cliff, which made my stomach queasy.
I looked down, and saw nothing but wilderness below the cable car.
Suddenly, I felt something sharp bite the tip of my right ear. What the hell?
There's only one person that could be biting my ear.
"Ikuto, what are you doing?!" I demanded.
"Trying to annoy you." Ikuto whispered into my ear. "And so far, it's working."
I pulled away from Ikuto, and he rolled his eyes.
"Amu!" A voice called from behind me.
I craned my neck behind me and saw Tadase riding by himself in the cable car behind us.
"What is it?" I called back to Tadase.
"Their are only supposed to be one person per cable car! That's really dangerous!" He called back in a worried tone.
Fear arose in my chest as I heard the cable car start to shake.
I again looked below the cable car, and saw that the cable car was still going over the cliff, so if this thing broke and fell, Ikuto and I had a slim chance of survival.
The cable car started to shake more and more, and I started to panic. "Ikuto! We are gonna fall!"
Ikuto tried to calm me, but then, the cable car couldn't carry our weight, and the cable car broke, sending Ikuto and I tumbling through the air, and towards the wilderness.
While I was falling, I noticed that since the cable snapped to Ikuto and I's cable car, it caused Tadase's to break as well, and he also fell out of his car, and fell down the cliff with us.
Nobody else was on the cable car, so nobody could have seen us fall... And we would be falling thousands of feet with a slim chance of survival to even live through the fall...
We are screwed.
Author: I started to get writers block again halfway through this story, but I pulled through :).
Amu: Why did you make Ikuto and I fall off a freaking cliff?!
Author: I thought it would be a entertaining idea for the readers of this story.
Ikuto: It would be entertaining to them, but not to us!
Author: Please review, the more reviews, the faster the updates :).
