"Was I suppose to count?" Merrill asked sheepishly. She wasn't about to admitt to a stranger how many times she had made a fool of herself. Though she also wasn't about to admit she had skater/dancer feet. Meaning if she wasn't skating or dancing she was a total klutz. "I'm much better on ice, really. Its this snow thing thats hard. I can sled and tube with the best of them."

"You become less and less confident the more time you mess up. If Nick hadn't kicked me out of the hotel the first time i would have never even dared get on a Snowboard." Kane thought for a minute, "You skate? Okay then, that helps. Use the same methods you use for the skates with skis. When you want to stop you do exactly the same thing. The only difference is that you don't have to move your feet as much to move."
((I'm gonna be an expert on winter sports at this rate.))

(Haha Damn right)
Jessica continued to lean intently over the banister on the platform, her cheeks flushed from the cold. Although the excitement was over, she was enjoying watching the skiing of the more experienced skiiers around, and also watching as Kane guided Merrill through the ropes.

"ummm the skis don't have a toe pick." Merrill said a bit confused. "But I'll try. Hey I'll make you a deal. I won't give up, if when we get back to the lodge you treat me to a cup of hot coco." She looked up at Kane and gave him her best flirty smile. Merrill may not have been tall and beautiful like the girls in Crystal House but she was certainly one of the cuter ones in Logan.

Even with the new conditions, the three snowboarcders accepted. "Ok then," Merri said as he stood up. He moved to point the slope started to descend and began to strap his booted foot back in. He was followed closely by the three Vale boys. So close that he could feel their breath on the back of his neck. He had to fight the very strong urge to just thrust his elbow into the face of the closest one. Instead he snarled. Save it for the race, he thought to himself.

Nick rested his hand on Merri's shoulder and leaned towards him, glaring at the boy that was close to them. "Don't get any closer," he hissed. The closest Vale boy saw the glare that Nickolai had given him and moved back slightly worried. His attention turned back to Merri, "Are you sure you're okay with this? We don't even know their skill?"
Kane grinned and unclipped his boots from his snowboard, "Tell you what. Lets get the hot coco now and we'll continue this tomorrow. That is if you don't mind seeing me tomorrow, of course."

*Free coco and a cute boy. Total score.* Merrill thought.
"Well, if its the only way to get a cup of coco. Then I suppose I'll have to see you tomorrow." Merrill said trying to be coy like she'd seen other girls do. "But umm, could you help me get these things off my feet? Last time I tried well, thats what I had been trying to do when I threw the snowball. And I'm pretty sure I don't want a repeat performance of that."

"They're just a bunch of punks," Meredith snarled. "Besides," he began, his snarl replaced by a grin, "I think that look unnverved that particular one quite a bit. Maybe you ought to give the same to the other two, throw them off their game a bit?"

Kane smiled and knelt down to unclip Merril's ski's, "There," he said smiling. He stood back up and picked his board up too. "Come on, let's go." He held out his hand for her and smiled again.
Nickolai's face turned till he was facing Merri's ear, "I'd do more then glare at them if they ever did anything to you." He kissed Merri's cheek slightly then stood up straight. He looked at the other boys who had seen the kiss and weren't impressed. "There's no way I'm gonna loose this to the likes of you guys." "Yeah well you best change that attitude, we're gonna win this and get our date."

Merrill took Kane's hand and was so happy she completely forgot about everything else that had happened. Even the fact that they were still on snow and she should be careful with her footing. So in her excitement Merrill had tried a small skip and once again slipped and fell into the snow, this time however dragging Kane along with her.

Kane hit the ground with a loud "oof". His board had ended up landing on his legs and his hands were behind him making sure he didn't fall backwards onto his back. "Thanks for that," he muttered sarcastically, grinning. "Come on," he stood up and held out his hand again, "Maybe this time it would be a good idea too watch where you step, maybe that way we wont have to fall so hard."

Merrill's face was beet red as Kane helpped her back up. *I really did have a dancer's legs.* she thought to herself miserably.
"And I thought the saying was suppose to be the bigger they are the harder they fall, not the other way around" Merrill muttered. *When we get back to the lodge though, maybe I'll change out of these wet clothes before coco.*

Kane smiled, "it is, but it still hurts when anyone of any size falls." Kane smiled and put his arm around her waist, "You're not falling this time and you're not taken me down either." He grinned and began walking, with her to the ski lift to go back down. He caught a glimce at Merri and Nickolai stood with the same three boys, "Man i wonder what's actually going on over there."

Merrill bit her lip as she felt Kane put his arm around her waist.
"Well as long as they don't kill each other it should be fine. And what are the chances of them doing that?" Merrill commented as she followed Kane's line of sight.

"Erm, well..." he rubbed the back of his neck, "Actually it's pretty high to be honest. Nick will hurt anyone who gets close to Merri and Merri can be very aggressive despite the feminine looks. Either way I'd say what ever is going on over there, expect to see their bodies bloodied tomorrow." Kane sighed and turned away walking back up to the ski lift.
