“After you, beautiful,” Scott said as he stepped aside for Jean

Wow. Sorry I haven’t updated in a while. Internet connection down…ugh. Here’s the next chapter:

“After you, beautiful,” Scott said as he stepped aside for Jean. She smiled and continued forward.

“Flatterer,” she smirked. Jean pushed off her right foot and slid down the slope on an angle.

“Oh yes! Thank you kind sir!” Bobby joked in a high pitch voice as he sped past. Scott grumbled a bit as he caught up to Bobby.

“Hey Popsicle, wait for me!” Jubilee yelled as she tipped her wobbly skis down the hill. She whipped over the snow and headed straight for Bobby and Scott. “Scoot over Scooter!” Scott barely skied out of the way before she turned and skidded to a halt. A pile of snow flew up in the air from her skis and landed on Iceman. Jean put up a telekinetic shield before any flew on her.

“Nice one!” Amara yelled from the top. She followed the path and moved her skis side to side down to where Amanda was. Amara turned and came to the left side of her.

“I think we should keep heading down before we all cause a jam on the slope….if that is at all possible,” Amanda smiled. Both of the dark haired girls continued down just as Ororo was about to go over the edge.

“Come on Kitty, its not that bad!” Ororo laughed. She looked over at her terrified friend who did not budge. Other skiers flew past the group and weaved in and out of each other down the slope.

“I am not going down that!”

“Why?”

“Just look at it?!” Kitty piped. Ororo peered over the edge and then rolled her eyes.

“Oh please. If something goes wrong, you can just phase.” Ororo turned slightly to start down the hill. “You can’t just stand there all day. I know you can do it.” Her white hair flew behind her as she moved her skis to go on a diagonal path toward Scott and a snow covered Bobby. Once she met up with them, Logan came up behind her.

“Well, that was fast,” Ororo commented. “Now we just have to get Kitty down.”

“That’s going to be a while,” Logan grumbled. “Come on half pint!”

“You can follow behind me, Katya,” Piotr said. “Don’t worry. It’s not that steep.”

“Easy for you to say,” Kitty huffed. She then turned towards him as he started down. Kitty was following behind him and was going at a snails pace. She took one turn and almost smashed into Kurt. “Ack! Kurt, you cut me off!”

“Vell, if you vent any slower you would be in reverse,” He chimed.

“At least I know how to not get myself killed,” Kitty retorted. Kurt zoomed down to where Amanda and Amara were and almost went into the bank on the side of the slope. He jabbed his poles into the mound and pushed himself backwards until he was level on the ground.

“I’m still in one piece!” Kurt yelled back. He turned and followed the two further while Remy managed to catch up to them. He turned too quick and caused snow to fly in the air. He almost fell over and caught himself before making a face plant in the snow. Rogue came shooting toward the group and did a three sixty to face them.

“Oi!” Remy looked shocked.

“What!” Rogue glared at him. “Oh it was not that hard.” She tilted her skis and went toward the end of the slope where it separated into two paths. Trees dotted the area and encased the paths.

“Knowing Bobby, he would probably hit the only tree in the middle of the slope,” Scott sighed.

“I heard that!” Bobby yelled.

“There he goes,” Jean added as he and Jubilee made a diagonal route. Bobby curved around the tree and turned to smirk at the two.

“Hah. I made around perfectly—Oof!” Booby skied right into a tree that was to the side of the trail. The air was knocked out of him as he fell flat on his back with his skis and arms sprawled out.

“That must’ve hurt,” Ororo winced at the spectacle in front of her.

“Hey Popsicle, you still alive down there?” Logan called down.

“Peachy!” Bobby growled.

“He’s going to be okay,” Jubilee huffed as she attempted to pull him up. She was able to get him on his feet only to have them both crash down again with Bobby on top of Jubilee.

“Well that’s embarrassing!” Kitty said once she made a slow halt.

“You need some help down there?” Jean laughed.

“We’re grand.” Jubilee smiled and felt herself become giddy as Bobby stared down into her eyes. He rolled off and tried to stand again. Once he was somewhat stable he reached down to pull Jubilee up. “Thanks.”

“No prob,” Bobby grinned.

“Ze trail is splitting. Which one do we go down?” Kurt asked as he adjusted his goggles.

“It doesn’t really matter. Both are pretty much the same,” Amanda answered. “Let’s go down this one.” She pointed toward the right with her pole and started down. Kurt and Amanda followed behind the girl and stopped again when Kurt almost fell over.

“Not half bad for a stop eh?” Kurt beamed.

“Yeah. Where’s John?” Amanda looked up the slope at the rest of the group.

“Hopefully far from here,” Amara grumbled. She jumped from the snapping of twigs and a loud crash of a branch. She glanced at the trees that fenced the area and saw a flash of orange. “You have got to be kidding me.” The flash hit a small bank out of the wooded area and flew threw the air. He landed and became slightly disoriented. The group stared at him with wide eyes.

“Ah yes I know, I’m Amazing,” Pyro sang as he brushed off a few twigs from his coat and hair.

“Iz that even possible?” Kurt questioned.

“He probably would make anything possible,” Amara groaned. “Is there even a trail in there?”

“Not that I know of,” Amanda inserted.

“I’m the trail blazing, path forging kind of fellow. Onwards Sheila!” John went right up to Amara and wrapped his arm around her waist. He then continued down the slope. Amara was trying very hard not to push him into any nearby tree or snow bank.

“Vell that looks safe,” Kurt breathed.

“I would stay far away when Amara loses it.”

"Are you sure I'm doing this right?" Kitty stammered.

"Yes Katya. Just turn your skis the other way and come down to this side," Piotr instructed. Kitty shifted her skis and went straight for him.

“Kitty you’re closing your eyes!” Ororo looped around her and went next to Piotr.

“I like didn’t. I have something in my eye!” Kitty shot back.

“Yeah right,” Logan quipped. Kitty hit a steeper incline of the slope and started to speed up. She whizzed down and curved around the group. She couldn’t stop herself and tried to point her skis up into the snow. She went right into Piotr and almost fell over. Kitty held onto his waist and spun around him, almost colliding into Wolverine. Colossus did not even budge and just stared down at the girl. She gave a hesitant smile back up at him.

“Well that’s one way to stop,” Ororo chuckled.

“Nice save Piotr.” Jean came down toward them.

“Thank you?” Colossus helped Kitty get her skis straight.

“We still have the rest of the slope,” Kitty squeaked when she faced the fork in the trail.

“Don’t worry, I’ll help you down,” Piotr reassured. He went down further and turned to allow Kitty to slide down. She was able to meet up with him and they both went into the left side of the fork.

“There’s our fearless leader,” Logan jabbed. Scott came down like a bullet, sifting side to side. In mere seconds, he was by Jean’s side.

“At least I’m trying to get a decent amount of speed. You’re just lollygagging around,” Scott muttered.

“Race you down,” Ororo grinned.

“You’re on.” Scott and Ororo shot off and sped down toward the fork. Ororo seemed to be ahead of him until he turned quickly and cut her off.

“Hey!” Ororo yelped. “That’s cheating! Jean gave you a nudge.”

“Oh how can you say that?” Jean sang.

“Don’t come crying to me when she comes to beat both of you up,” Logan sighed.

“Already on it.” Ororo called upon a gust of wind to knock snow into Scott before he could reach the split in the trail.

“Ergh!” Scott almost fell backwards when the pile landed on him. Ororo swiftly passed him and did a one eighty to face him.

“I win!” Ororo smirked when Scott came down.

“That’s because you practically dumped a truck load of snow on me,” Scott said.

“Coming from the guy whose girlfriend helped him,” Ororo teased.

“Don’t drag me into this!” Jean giggled when she slid next to Ororo.

“Now who are the slowpokes?” Logan yelled from the left side of the trail.

“How’d you get down there? You were up here a second ago.” Jean took a double take.

“Thought your adamantium numb skull would weigh you down—Whoa!” Scott was nudged by Jean.

“Quit the monologues and come down!” Jean was a little far ahead of him and followed Ororo down. She turned back to face him with a grin.
