"Hey, how you doing?" said Dicky trying to imitate Joey from the television show Friends. "No too flirty," he thought. "A simple hey, or hi, would do it," he said to himself.
It was pretty early, it was 7:30 am. Dicky decided to go downstairs to watch some early morning television. He turned on the televison and began watching some early morning cartoons.
At 7:45 Gigi came down stairs finding Dicky watching cartoons. "Hey," she said smiling at him. "Mind if I join you?"
"No go ahead," offered Dicky.
"You look really good today," exclaimed Gigi looking at him from head to toe.
"Why thank you, you don't look too bad yourself," chuckled Dicky.
"Really? You think so?" she asked.
"Girl, you are hot!" replied Dicky answering truthfully.
"Aww...that is so sweet," smiled Gigi. "You like cartoons?" asked Gigi.
"No, I love them," laughed Dicky. "So you ready to ski today?" he asked.
"Ya, I can't wait to hit the slopes," she said.
"Neither can I," smiled Dicky thinking of skiing with Athena.
They watched cartoons together until everyone else woke up.
Ruby sat down at the table beside Edison and across from Jimmy. "So we're going to the resort today. What am I going to do first? Skiing with Jimmy or Snowboarding with Eddie?" she asked the guys.
"I don't know up to you," replied Jimmy.
"Vicki which would you suggest?' Ruby asked.
"Well to tell you the truth Ruby, you are a very clumsy person, I think you should learn to ski first before you learn how to snowboard," announced Vicki.
"True," agreed Edison. "You should learn how to ski first, with Jimmy. While I check out all the hills and find a good one where it is safe to teach you. I don't want you to get hurt," he said to Ruby.
"Aww...you are so sweet," said Ruby giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I know," he said smiling down at her.
Alec entered the kitchen.
"Hey Alec, you finally decided to wake up?" giggled Ruby looking at his messed up hair. "What are you going to do today?" she asked.
"I don't know do some snowboarding, find some cute girls to flirt with, and maybe go buy my Kris Kringle her present," replied Alec.
"So you got a girl?" asked Ruby.
"I'm not saying anything," laughed Alec.
"You going shopping later?" asked Edison.
Alec nodded.
"I'll go with you," announced Edison.
"How about me?" pouted Ruby.
"You stay at the resort and ski with Jimmy today," replied Edison. "We'll go skiing together tomorrow, just you and me okay?"
Ruby nodded. "When are you going to show me how to snowboard?" she asked.
"Soon," replied Edison.
Dicky entered the kitchen, he looked at Alec and exclaimed, "Alec Su, get your butt upstairs and get ready, we're leaving in 30 minutes!"
Alec ran upstairs quickly to get ready.
"Dicky calm down, you don't need to rush him, we have two whole weeks to go skiing and stuff," replied Vicki looking at him funny.
"It's not that he's anxious, he wants to see Athena again," laughed Edison.
Dicky blushed. "No...I just want to ski today...I'm bored!" he replied.
"Whatever you say, buddy," laughed Jimmy.
At 10:30, everyone hopped into the van and drove to the resort. Dicky drove since he knew the way to the resort.
"Whoa, Dicky can you slow down a bit, you're driving a bit fast," exclaimed Louis, sitting up front with him.
"Just a bit!" exclaimed Vicki. "More like a maniac!"
They arrived at the resort in 15 minutes, half the time that it usually took normal drivers to go.
Everyone got out of the car. "How do I look?" Dicky asked.
"Like a lovesick puppy," laughed Wonbin.
Dicky's expression became nervous.
"Don't listen to him, you look great," said Annie.
"Breath," ordered Vicki. "Just be yourself."
"Okay," said Dicky. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Louis had to drag him into the lodge and everyone followed them.
Mr. Chu spotted them and smiled. He approached them. "Ah, Dicky there you are! I was wondering if you were coming or not," announced Mr. Chu.
"Good morning, Mr. Chu, how are you feeling today?" greeted Dicky politely.
"I'm feeling a little annoyed, but thanks for asking," answered Mr. Chu.
"Annoyed? Why?" asked Dicky.
"Well...," began Mr. Chu.
"Daddy, is he here yet?" yelled Athena running down the stairs. She ran up to her dad. Mr. Chu stood aside, and revealed Dicky. Athena was a little taken back, her heart began racing. She managed to say, "Dicky! Umm...Hi...nice to see you again."
"Hey," he said giving her a charming smile.
"Who are you looking for, princess?" asked Mr. Chu, in a teasing manner.
"Umm..." blushed Athena. A guy came buy with a sandwich. Athena grabbed it and said, "My brunch! I was hungry."
"Oh really?" asked Mr. Chu looking at his daughter, with a teasing look.
Athena nodded innocently at her father.
"Teenagers," laughed Mr. Chu. "Weird creatures, especially my little princess. I don't understand her."
"Daddy! I'm not weird!" exclaimed Athena.
"Dicky, don't you find my daughter weird?" he asked.
"I...umm...Athena is different, from most girls I know, she's special," replied Dicky. "If you want to know weird teenage girls than you have to meet some of my friends here, like Ruby, Vicki, Jessica, Annie and Teresa. They are weird. Athena is perfectly normal compared to them," laughed Dicky.
Athena blushed a bit. While the girls gave Dicky a deadly glare.
"Who are you calling weird?" asked Jessica pulling his ear.
Vicki pulled his other ear, while Annie pinched his arm. Teresa stomped on his foot. And Ruby began pinching his cheeks.
"Help!" he cried. "I take it back, I'm sorry. Louis, guys help me!" he begged.
"Dude, you know better than talking bad about them," exclaimed Louis laughing.
The others were laughing like crazy, even Athena was giggling.
"Okay, okay, that's enough now Annie, I think he's suffered enough," replied Julian pulling Annie away from him.
"You too honey," laughed Edison pulling Ruby away.
"Fine, I'm tired anyways," announced Ruby giving him one last pinch.
The others gave up too.
Dicky said, "Thank you." He rubbed his cheek and ears in pain. "You see what I mean," exclaimed Dicky.
Everyone giggled.
Dicky introduced his friends to Mr. Chu and Athena one by one. "Okay, let's start with these five tough but beautiful girls. You know Jessica from the bus, that's Annie, Teresa, Vicki and that's Ruby," said Dicky.
"Nice to meet you," smiled Athena.
The girls smiled back.
"This is my buddy Louis, that's Charmaine, that's Edison, Ruby's boyfriend. Edison's cousin Wonbin. Annie's boyfriend Julian, Vicki's boyfriend Vic. That is Kristy, Gigi, her brother Alec, Vicki's brother Jimmy, Grace and her brother Nicholas. Kristy's boyfriend Nicky. Julian's sister Cecilia and this is Tae, Teresa's umm... boyfriend!" said Dicky pointing to everyone.
Both Teresa and Tae blushed, while the girls giggled.
Athena smiled at each of them.
"Wow, you're beautiful," announced Louis kissing her hand like a gentleman. "No wonder Dicky's totally in lov......"
Dicky covered Louis' mouth before he finished.
"What?" asked Athena looking at Dicky.
"Nothing," he replied smiling at her.
Athena looked at him curiously.
"He said, no wonder Dicky's totally in love with yo..." announced Ruby.
"Ruby go kiss Edison," yelled Dicky cutting her off.
"Hump!" announced Ruby.
Athena was beginning to understand them, so looked away hiding her pink cheeks.
"Umm...so what's up?" asked Dicky, changing the subject.
"Athena do you recognize Cecilia and Julian?" asked Mr. Chu.
"What? I don't know them," said Athena looking at them carefully.
"Ya, I don't think we know her," replied Cecilia.
"Think back to when you were 5," said Mr. Chu. "Someone stuck gum in your hair."
"I remember, I was playing with of your friend's daughter, and her stupid ugly brother stuck gum in my hair," exclaimed Athena. "Then I had to get a hair cut!"
Julian looked away.
Athena looked at Julian and screamed, "YOU!"
Julian hid behind Annie.
"I remember too!" exclaimed Cecilia. "Julian stuck gum in your hair!"
Mr. Chu laughed. "Yup, and you wouldn't stop crying, so you pushed him outside and left him there for two hours."
"And Julian got sick after that, and he's afraid of gum till this very day. He thought gum made you sick," laughed Cecilia.
"Leave the past in the past," announced Julian still hiding behind Annie. "I was only 7, don't hurt me."
Annie laughed at Julian.
Athena looked like she was ready to kill.
"Sweetie, if you want her to forgive you than you should apologize to her properly," said Annie.
Julian walked up to her, "I'm sorry, please forgive me, it's been 10 years, come on. If you forgive me I'll tell you a secret," announced Julian.
"Let's hear it," said Athena.
"Dicky loves you," exclaimed Julian running to hide behind Annie again.
"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!" yelled Dicky running after him.
Athena stood there shocked and stunned. She was so happy and excited that she couldn't move. Was what he said true? Did Dicky love her? She just stood there staring at him.
"Don't hurt me Dicky, what I said is true, I'm just trying to help you out!" exclaimed Julian.
"You...you guys promised not to say anything," exclaimed Dicky looking at Julian, than Louis and than Ruby.
"So is it true?" asked Athena looking at him.
"I...I...umm..." Dicky didn't know how to reply, "I need to go!" he ran into the guys washroom.
"Dicky! Come back!" exclaimed Vicki.
"Guys go after him," said Annie, pushing Julian towards the washroom.
"No, why me?" asked Julian. "He wants to kill me right now."
"Then Edison, you go," said Ruby pushing him in the washroom.
Edison entered the washroom finding Dicky standing in front of the mirror.
"Hey buddy, why don't you come out and talk to her tell her how you feel," suggested Edison.
"How can I face her now? You guys completely embarrassed me!" he exclaimed.
"Dude, you're usually really funny and light headed, you usually turn everything into a joke, why are you taking this so seriously?" asked Edison.
"Because, I'm serious about her!" announced Dicky. "I just feel so nervous around her, she makes my heart feel something I've never felt before! You wouldn't understand!"
"Says who? I know exactly how you feel, that's how I feel about Ruby. When she's around my heart takes over my body completely. She drives me crazy. You know how much courage for me to tell her how I felt?" asked Edison.
"You're serious about Ruby aren't you?" asked Dicky.
Edison nodded. "I love her more than anything in this world, I can't lose her."
"How did you feel when you first met her?" asked Dicky. "Was it like a rush? Did you stare at her in awe. Like you've never seen anyone so beautiful. Does the sound of her voice make your heart skip a beat? Did you stay up all night thinking about her, like what to say, what to wear, how to act around her?" he asked thinking about Athena.
"It's still like that," replied Edison thinking about Ruby. "Dude I think you seriously fell in love with Athena."
"I think so too," said Dicky.
"Then what are you afraid of?" asked Edison.
"What am I afraid of? Rejection! What if I'm wrong what if she isn't the one? What aren't I afraid of? Embarrassment! How would you feel if your friends told Ruby that you loved Ruby before you had a chance to tell her?" he asked.
"Take a chance," replied Edison. "She already knows, it can't get any worst!"
"Can you give me some time? I need to think!" asked Dicky.
"Alright," said Edison, walking out of the bathroom.
"So?" asked Jessica.
"I tried," said Edison. He walked over to Ruby and hugged her tightly.
"What was that for?" she asked hugging him back.
"Dicky reminded me why I love you so much and how crazy I am about you," said Edison looking at her lovingly.
"You are so strange, but that's why I love you," laughed Ruby.
"So how's Dicky?" asked Vicki.
"He said he needs to think," replied Edison. He walked up to Athena. "Go in there, I know he's serious. Don't worry he's in there by himself," he whispered.
"ME?" she asked.
Edison nodded.
"Go princess, you like him don't you?" asked Mr. Chu.
"I...I..." she began.
"Then go in there!" exclaimed Annie pushing her into the guys bathroom.
"So....what do we do now?" asked Julian.
"Leave them alone, and let them talk," answered Edison.
"What do you thinks going to happen?" asked Alec.
"I don't know," replied Vicki.
"Give them time to talk, it's going to take them awhile, my daughter is very shy," said Mr. Chu, pushing them away from the door. He placed an out of order sign on the doorknob.
"Now what?" asked Teresa.
"Now you kids do what you had planned, ski," smiled Mr. Chu.
Everyone headed to the counter to get the equipment.
"Edison," called Ruby.
"Yes?" he turned to her.
"Why do you love me? What made you choose me?" she asked.
"Because I do," replied Edison. "The first time I saw you I was mesmerized by your beauty, all I could say was WOW! Who is that girl? I had you on my mind for days, no matter how much I tried, you were stuck in my mind and in my heart. Then I meet you again on the cruise, I thought this must be fate. The heavens sent me this beautiful angel. You stole my heart the moment I bumped into me at the airport. Ruby I love you more than anything in this world, I need you!" he said looking at her lovingly.
Ruby felt like crying. Edison hugged her tightly. "Eddie, I love you so much. I can't imagine life without you," she said crying.
Edison looked at her and kissed her gently. He made the kiss sweet but short. He looked over to Jimmy who was waiting by the ski lift. "We'll finish this later," he said smiling at her. He wanted her to wait in anticipation and think about him all day. "Good luck, and be careful. Don't hurt yourself," he said.
Ruby nodded and gave him a shorter, but sweeter and more lustful kiss. "See you later," she said giving him a killer smile.
Edison let her go reluctantly. Instead of her thinking about him all day, he would be thinking about and waiting for her all day. Edison went over to Alec and grabbed his snowboard and left.
Ruby walked towards Jimmy. "Hey, thanks for waiting," she said trying to help him with the equipment.
"No, I can manage," he said to her. "Come sit down, we have to put the skis on first," he smiled at her.
Ruby sat down, and Jimmy helped her put on the skis. Ruby tried to stand up but lost her balance. Luckily Jimmy caught her before she fell.
"Thanks Jimmy," she smiled at him.
Jimmy picked her up.
"What are you doing?" she exclaimed.
"You're going to fall and break your neck before, we even start," he laughed as she put her down gently on the ski lift. He sat down beside her as the ski lift went up.

~In the Boys Washroom~
Athena was pushed in.
"I thought I said I wanted to be alone!" exclaimed Dicky turning around. He looked and saw Athena. "I...umm...thought you were one of the guys," he said shyly avoiding her eyes.
"Who wouldn't this is the guys washroom after all," laughed Athena trying to look in his eyes. She saw him smile. "Hey you're smiling," exclaimed Athena.
"I don't know, when you're around I can't help but smile," said Dicky looking at the ground.
Athena walked up to him. She lifted his face to face her. She looked in his eyes. "Do you like me?" she asked.
"No," replied Dicky, he looked in her eyes and saw her heart breaking, she looked away. "I don't just like you, but I think I'm falling in love with you," he said looking at her.
"Really?" she asked.
Dicky nodded.
"I don't believe you," she announced.
"I'll show you," he said.
"How?" she asked looking away.
Dicky held her face closer to his and kissed her.
When they broke apart Athena looked down to hide her flushed expression.
Dicky held her face up to him again, "Athena I know we just met yesterday, I don't know how you did it but, you captured my heart, with your beautiful smile. I couldn't sleep last night I kept thinking about you. You know the night before we met I stayed up all night thinking about my soul mate. I wanted to know when I was going to met her. I was thinking about it all morning. The next thing I realized was, you," answered Dicky. "I think, no I know you're my soul mate. Will you be my girlfriend?" he asked.
Athena looked into his eyes, his eyes told her that he was telling the truth. She nodded.
Dicky smiled and showered her with kisses. "Yes! I have a girlfriend now! I have the prettiest girlfriend in the whole wide world, and her name is Athena Chu!" he yelled.
"Quite down, everyone's going to hear you," giggled Athena.
"So, it's the truth!" exclaimed Dicky.
"Come let's go," said trying Athena pull Dicky outside.
"Why?" asked Dicky.
"Because this is the boys bathroom!" replied Athena.
"Well I'll always remember that our first kiss was in a public boys washroom!" laughed Dicky.
"No! That's not romantic!!" cried Athena.
"Come," exclaimed Dicky pulling her outside.
"Where are we going?" asked Athena.
"You promised to go skiing with me, yesterday," announced Dicky.
"You have a good memory!" said Athena pinching his nose.
"Only because you're in them," smiled Dicky.
"You are so mushy!" giggled Athena.
"Don't forget you also promised to go to town with me and dinner too!" declared Dicky.
"I said I'll think about," corrected Athena.
"Well I'm going to kidnap you if you refuse!" warned Dicky.
"Fine, it's a date!" giggled Athena. "Let's go skiing!" exclaimed Athena pulling Dicky on the ski lift.
When the ski lift went up, Dicky exclaimed "I'm afraid of heights, hold me!" as he moved closer to Athena placing his arm around her.
"Help! He's taking advantage of me!" laughed Athena.
"No, I'm just cuddling with my girl!" chuckled Dicky kissing her on the cheek.
When the ski lift stopped, they got off and skied. Athena went ahead. "Catch me if you can," she yelled back.
"I'm going to catch you and then kiss you to death!" exclaimed Dicky chasing after her.

~Teresa and Tae~
"Teresa, are you ignoring me?" asked Tae.
"What do you think?" retorted Teresa.
"Why?" asked Tae. "Did I do something wrong?"
"Well, last night after you..." began Teresa.
"Kissed you?" smiled Tae.
"Ya, everyone thinks we're together now!" she exclaimed.
"Aren't we?" asked Tae asking her confused.
Teresa looked at him and exclaimed, "You never asked!"
"Oh, is that what's this about?" he asked.
Teresa looked away.
Tae hugged her from the back and asked, "Teresa, I love you, I'm sorry for always being so slow, will you forgive me and be my girlfriend?"
"That's better," said Teresa. "Let me think about it!"
"What?" he asked.
Teresa giggled. "Let me go, I didn't agree with you!"
"I'm not letting go until you say yes," said Tae holding her tightly.
Teresa tried struggling but couldn't he was holding her too tightly. She finally gave in and said, "Okay, okay, now let me go!"
"Nope! Now I want to hold my girlfriend forever," he smiled at her.
"Let me go! If you hold me like this how are you going to kiss her?" asked Teresa.
Tae let her go waiting for her to kiss him. Instead she threw a snowball at him. "That's for not listening to me!" she laughed.
Tae chased her and pinned her to a tree, "This is for agreeing to be my girlfriend," he said smiling at her, he then kissed her.
Annie and Julian skied by them. She stopped a couple miles ahead. "Why aren't we like that anymore?" she asked Julian.
"That's possible," said Julian with a sly grin on his face.
"Are you trying to take advantage of me out in the middle of nowhere?" she asked approaching him.
"Thanks for the idea," said Julian pulling her into his embrace and kissed her. "You know we can't do that, that much anymore, because everywhere we go there are people we know teasing us," announced Julian.
"Then this is our opportunity to make up for lost time," smiled Annie. "No one's around."

~Jimmy and Ruby~
"Come on Ruby, you can do it!" exclaimed Jimmy.
"AHHHHHHHH!" screamed Ruby falling onto the snow.
"Let's try it again you're getting it," said Jimmy helping her up.
Ruby tried a couple more times. "I'm doing it!" she exclaimed. "Jimmy help! How do I stop!" she cried.
"Use the sticks!" exclaimed Jimmy.
"How?" she screamed.
Jimmy chased after her trying to stop her. When he caught up to her she was screaming like crazy. Jimmy tried to help her stop but instead caused both of them to tumble down the hill. When they hit the bottom, Jimmy was on top of her. Both of them were laughing at the accident. Jimmy looked down on her and her angelic face. They had eye contact again. Jimmy moved closer to Ruby wanting to kiss her. She began breathing hard. Ruby wanted to kiss him badly, she wanted to feel that magical feeling again, of what she think that was her first kiss. She had always had a sensational feeling whenever she kissed Edison, then when she thought about the kiss she saw she had with Jimmy gave her a similar feeling. It was so special. She wanted to see if those feelings are real. But the thought of Edison popped in her mind. She loved him too much to hurt him.
Just when their lips almost touched, Ruby said, "Jimmy, you can get off of me now. You know you are really heavy!" she laughed.
Jimmy looked into her eyes and treasured this moment. He got off her and helped her up. "Here, I'll show you how to use these sticks so you'll know how to stop," he said with disappointment in his voice.
"Okay," said Ruby smiling at him.
The rest of the afternoon Jimmy taught Ruby all the basics she needed to know to ski. They both acted as if nothing happened.
_________________________________________________________________
~Dicky and Athena~
"HA! I caught you," he said to her, resting his arms on her shoulders.
"Only because I stopped," teased Athena wrapping her arms around him.
"You tired yet? We can go back to the lodge and cuddle," suggested Dicky raising his eyebrows at her.
"That doesn't sound too bad," said Athena laughing at his eyebrows.
"Then let's go," said Dicky, beginning to ski back to the lodge.
They passed by Ruby and Jimmy. Dicky laughed at how funny she looked falling down. "And Edison said she was graceful!" he laughed.
"You are so mean!" said Athena.
They kept going they passed Julian and Annie who were still kissing. Then they passed Tae and Teresa who were also kissing.
"These people should get a room, we're here to ski not make out with our girlfriends," he laughed.
"Then what about you?" asked Athena.
"Me? I'm different, I just got together with my girlfriend today so it's allowed," explained Dicky.
They stopped in front of the lodge and returned their equipment. Dicky sat down on the couch while Athena got them two hot chocolates.
"Thank you beautiful," said Dicky smiling at her.
"No problem handsome," replied Athena pinching his cheeks. "Wow, your cheeks are freezing!" exclaimed Athena pulling her hands away.
Dicky held her hands and brought them to his face. "Then keep me warm," he said holding her hands to his face.
"No, my cheeks are freezing too!" exclaimed Athena pulling her hands back and rubbing her cheeks.
Held both her hands with one of his. With his free hand he caressed her face and brought her lips to his and kissed her softly but passionately.
Soon Jessica, Gigi, Vicki, Cecilia, Grace, Charmaine and Kristy entered the lodge laughing and giggling. They sat down at a table and ordered a hot chocolate for each of them.
"It's so much warmer in here," announced Grace.
"I know my face is so numb now," giggled Charmaine.
"It's so cozy in here," smiled Kristy.
Vicki was looking around the room. "Oh my gosh!" she exclaimed pointing to a couple sitting on a couch by the fireplace.
"What?" asked Kristy. "Couples usually do that."
"No look who it is!" exclaimed Grace, who recognized the couple.
Gigi and Jessica looked at the couple in horror. They felt their hearts break. They both felt tears building up, in their eyes.
"It's Dicky and Athena!" announced Charmaine.
The ended the kiss to breath a bit. Dicky said something that made Athena smile. He then kissed her again.
"I think they got together," said Vicki.
"You think?" asked Kristy sounding like Ruby.
"Oh my gosh, you sounded exactly like Ruby just now!" exclaimed Vicki. "You two are spending to much time together."
"I don't know, I find her easy to talk to. It's like she knows what I'm thinking. She's really cool, you know?" asked Kristy.
"Ya I thought you two would make great friends," smiled Vicki.
"So Grace, how's things between you and Alec?" asked Kristy.
Grace blushed. "He danced with me yesterday! I was so happy," she exclaimed.
"Oooo, we can help set Alec up with you," said Vicki.
"No, let love take it's coarse!" declared Grace.
Gigi wasn't paying attention to anything she was crying in her mind. "How can my Knight in shinning armor be with someone else?" she asked herself.
Jessica couldn't believe her eyes. Dicky was really in love with her. She tried her best to hold in the tears. She wanted him to be happy. She smiled but inside her heart was bleeding.
"Jesse, Gigi, you two okay?" asked Vicki shaking them.
"Huh?" asked Gigi. "Ya I'm fine I was just thinking."
"Jesse!" called Cecilia shaking Jessica.
"What's wrong?" announced a startled Jessica.
"Don't ask me! I should be asking you that," replied Vicki.
"Me? I'm fine, just a little tired," explained Jessica.
Vicki looked at her friends worried.
Annie, Julian, Teresa and Tae entered the lodge. "Hey girls," greeted Annie pulling a chair to their table.
"Where have you two been?" asked Cecilia looking at Julian and Annie.
"We were skiing," announced Julian looking at Annie in funny way.
"And you?" asked Vicki looking at Teresa and Tae. "You two aren't official yet!"
"Who says, we're official now," announced Tae putting his arms around Teresa.
Teresa blushed.
"Whoa, Teresa is blushing, that's incredible," exclaimed Louis who just entered with Wonbin.
"Shut up, or beat..." began Teresa.
"I know, I know or you'll beat the shit out of me!" laughed Louis. "You've been saying that since day one!"
"Where are the others?" asked Vicki.
"Oh I just saw your boyfriends flirting with a whole bunch of girls, up on the bunny hills," he said looking at Vicki and Kristy.
"What? I'm going to kill him!" exclaimed Vicki standing up.
"He's kidding Vicky, it's not like you just met Louis," exclaimed Wonbin.
"You don't seem surprised Kristy," said Louis looking at her intently.
"I trust him, there's nothing to be worried about," was all Kristy said looking back into his eyes.
"You don't trust Vic, now do you Vicki?" asked Louis.
"I trust him, it's just that I don't trust his looks, he can attract girls without evening looking at them," explained Vicki.
"Hey Louis, we all got somebody now, how about you?" asked Teresa looking at him.
"What, Jesse doesn't have anyone, and Dicky's still single at the moment, so I there's no worries about me," said Louis, sneaking a glance at Kristy.
"Well Jessica's single, but I doubt Dicky is anymore," giggled Annie noticing Dicky on the couch by the fireplace.
"What?" asked Louis.
Vicki pointed to Dicky and Athena.
"Whoa what a traitor!" exclaimed Louis. "Now how am I going to handle all the girls that usually surround us at clubs! This is your fault Tae, he saw you have a girlfriend, now he has one. You guys ditched me!" laughed Louis.
"Stop blaming others, and find yourself a girlfriend," said Vicki.
"Ya Louis, I never actually seen you with a girlfriend, you flirt a lot and go on dates but I've never seen you serious," announced Annie.
"I've only been serious once, but got rejected, so I'm better off being a player," laughed Louis.
"With who?" asked Tae. "You never told us, and I thought we were buddies."
"None of your business!" said Louis. "What about you Jess, anyone on your mind? When will my little Jesse find a boyfriend?"
"Louis you haven't called me Jesse in years," scolded Jessica. "You know me, I'm really picky about guys, they have to give me that special feeling, and right now I've lost all hope," replied Jessica.
"Don't worry Jesse you'll find someone," said Vicki.
"Whatever, you guys are all so mean! We grew up together, now everyone has a boyfriend, you girls leave me alone to die with Louis," cried Jessica.
"I'm not that bad am I?" asked Louis.
"Ya maybe you and Jesse should hook up," suggested Julian.
Kristy studied Louis' expression, but saw nothing no emotion whatsoever.
"Now that I think about it you guys look good together," exclaimed Vicki.
Louis was in deep thought, "She rejected me before why would she agree now? She's like my best friend, my sister. I lost all romantic feelings and thoughts for her long time ago. Didn't I?" He looked at Jessica.
"Oh no he's looking at me like that again, please tell me he isn't thinking about it. Not him, I love him so much, but just in sisterly way. Don't I? I don't want to lose him, I can't!" thought Jessica, looking at Louis. Old feelings were stirring in both of them. They already think they fell in love with someone else, but the fact that it could never be made them vulnerable.
"What are you talking about?" exclaimed Louis. "Jesse and me? Come on! Haven't I ever told you girls that you girls are like my little sisters? But now that you mention it, me and Jessica do look good together," laughed Louis. "But then again I look good with anyone."
"I know, you guys are crazy, me and Louis?" giggled Jessica. "He's my mean and overly protective older brother. He is not what I pictured as my boyfriend."
"What? Am I not good enough for you?" said Louis pretending to sound hurt.
"Yup," she giggled. Jessica accidentally glanced over to Dicky again. He was still kissing Athena. She felt like crying.
Louis noticed her changed expression. He looked in the direction she was looking in. He understood now, Jessica likes Dicky. He didn't want Jessica to be hurt so got up and walked over to Dicky. "Hey buddy, when were you two an item?" asked Louis with his cheeky smile.
"Whoa, Louis don't scare me like that!" exclaimed Dicky. "How long have you been here?"
"Not as long as them," smiled Louis pointing to the table where their friends were sitting.
"Yikes, where did they come from?" asked Dicky.
"We've been here for half an hour," answered Grace, giggling.
"Really I didn't hear you come in," answered Dicky.
"Because you were too busy kissing your girlfriend," announced Jessica, with a hint of jealousy and hurt in her voice.
Athena blushed.
"Stop Jesse, you're making my beautiful girlfriend blush," said Dicky.
Athena turned redder.
"Now who's making her blush?" asked Vicki.
"What, make Annie and Teresa blush," exclaimed Dicky. "Annie and Julian were making out like no tomorrow, out in the middle of nowhere. And Teresa and Tae were doing the same, just a few miles up the trail. So they didn't do much skiing today."
Both Annie and Teresa blushed, they were redder than a tomato.
"Dicky don't embarrass my girlfriend!" exclaimed Tae.
"Don't embarrass mine," replied Dicky.
"Did you guys see Ruby?" asked Gigi trying to change the subject.
"Ya, we saw her earlier. I feel so sorry for Jimmy. Edison says she's graceful, but I don't see it. She fell like 50 times is less than two minutes," laughed Dicky.
"Don't be mean," said Athena slapping him lightly.
"Okay, I'll listen to you," he said pinching her nose lightly.
Alec and Edison entered.
"Hey guys, Dicky, Athena," smiled Edison looking at the couple.
"Hey Edison," exclaimed Dicky. "Thanks for the talk earlier," he whispered.
"No problem, we're buddies," laughed Edison punching Dicky softly.
"We'll your buddy was laughing at your girlfriend a minute ago," said Vicki.
"He was laughing at her cause she fell a lot when she was skiing," explained Annie.
"Is she hurt?" asked Edison who was getting worked up.
"No need to worry, you said she's graceful, she fell gracefully," chuckled Dicky.
"Shut up, don't talk bad about my girl, or I'll kill you," warned Edison. "Do you guys have anything planned for tonight?" he asked.
"Nothing really," replied Julian.
"I have a date," smiled Dicky looking at Athena.
"Well I want everyone out of the house tonight," announced Edison.
"Why?" asked Vicki. "Are you planning to take advantage of Ruby?"
"No, nothing like that," laughed Edison. "It's our month anniversary today, I'm cooking her dinner and making a romantic evening of it," explained Edison.
"Aww...why are you so sweet?" asked Annie.
"I thought you two didn't start dating till until early September?" said Teresa.
"No, it's for when we first met, when she bumped into me at the airport and stole my heart," answered Edison.
"I wish my boyfriend, was that sweet!" exclaimed Vicki.
"I know, Ruby is so lucky," replied Teresa. "Her boyfriend is such a romantic."
"Annie, how about we go out for a romantic dinner tonight," exclaimed Julian hugging her tightly.
Annie smiled, "You catch on quick."
"I learn from the best," said Julian smiling at Edison.
"Oh so you're teaching him," laughed Annie.
"You need to teach our boyfriends too!" exclaimed Teresa, Kristy and Vicki.
"When I have time," laughed Edison. "Where is Ruby?"
"Probably still falling," chuckled Dicky.
"Don't jinx her!" exclaimed Edison.
Jimmy and Ruby entered the lodge, laughing and giggling.
Edison ran up to her and hugged her and began spinning her around. "You're okay!" he exclaimed.
Ruby laughed. "What are you talking about? Put me down!" she yelled hitting him lightly.
"Dicky said you kept falling during your ski lesson, are you okay?" he asked putting her down and caressing her cheek.
"Don't worry Jimmy's a great teacher. I admit I fell a lot, but I can ski now," smiled Ruby. "Don't worry too much," she said caressing his cheek.
"You sure you're not hurt or anything? You didn't sprain anything, brake anything?" he asked concerned.
"Don't be silly, don't you think I'll be screaming in pain if I did?" she asked.
"You are worrying over nothing," laughed Julian.
"No, he's sweet, it shows that he really cares for her," said Annie.
"I know," exclaimed Ruby. "I told you I had the best boyfriend!"
"No you may have the sweetest boyfriend, but mine is the best!" announced Annie.
"No mine is," cried Vicki.
"Don't start this again," begged Cecilia.
The girls just stuck their tongues out at each other and giggled.
Everyone sat down. Ruby sat on Edison's lap because there wasn't much room.
"What are we doing tonight?" asked Ruby.
Everyone looked at Edison. Edison signaled to everyone that it was a secret.
"Oh, we're just going out again. The couples are going out to dinner and stuff," announced Annie.
"Are we going anywhere special?" she asked turning to Edison.
"No, not really. How about McDonalds', and a romantic stroll through the town," he answered.
"Okay, I haven't had McDonalds' since our first unofficial date," she giggled. "But promise not to eat my dinner again!"
"Aww...but yours always taste better," he laughed.
"That's what I say!" pouted Ruby.
"Too bad," laughed Edison.
They waited for the other guys to come back. When they came back everyone decided to go back to the cottage to change for another night in town. Athena went with them. She brought the clothes she was going to wear in a bag.
In the car Ruby sat beside Edison. Ruby yawned.
"You tired?" Edison asked.
"Just a bit," replied Ruby resting her head on his shoulder.
"Sleep a bit I'll wake you up when we get there," said Edison kissing her forehead.
Ruby fell asleep.
