Patrick laughed as Ace hoisted him off, holding his arms out to fully encompass the feeling of freedom he was experiencing. As they neared the top, Patrick squinted when a figure came into view. "Hey, there's Kendall!"
Sure enough, Kendall was perched at the top of this mountain peak, sitting in a meditative posture with his eyes closed and head raised to the sky. Those who knew him best meant that when he was in this state, he was tapping into the space-time continuum so he could clearly observe the timeline.

"Ah!" Ace recognized this state and rightly decided to leave him to it. In the meantime... "And off you go!" Upon reaching the top, Ace flung Patrick downhill at just the right angle for him to land on his feet at high speed. She quickly followed, sticking her boots into the snowboard and balancing herself rather proficiently.

Beth watched Ace whizz by. She only offered a smile as she kept going up.
"We're here, Mo-Beth," Chrys commented as she caught herself saying something.
"Fine."

"Whoop! Ha ha!" Patrick steadied himself and leaned in, speeding down the mountain with the wind in his hair and a joyful smile on his face. He swerved around some rocks and looked up as Ace caught up with him. "Hey, you're doing great!"
When the two passed them by, Evan found himself unable to resist hopping on his board and chasing after them then and there. "You guys have fun! I'll see ya at the bottom!"
Jen sighed and shook her head. "I guess this is as good a starting point as any. Ready?"
Darien hesitantly balanced himself and nodded. "Ready." Then, with a gentle push, he and Jen were off.
(Swift, when you get here, this is probably the best time to do it!)

(Whatever you say, Ev!)
Swift smiled, shook her head and started skiing down, ready to give Evan his comeuppance yet again. Ace laughed as she raced down the mountain with Patrick at her side. She looked over her shoulder and grinned at Evan. "Better hurry up, tough guy! Last one down buys dinner!"
But before Evan had a chance to catch up, a new sound broke through the crowd. "Whoa...! WHOAAAAAAAAAAA!! INCOMIIIIIIIIIIING!!!"
CRASH
A newcomer sped uncontrollably past the group, crashing into Evan and sending them both into a careening spiral before landing awkwardly in the snow.
"EVAN!" Swift and Ace both braked and rushed over to the two fallen boys.

Chrys stopped short. "You guys okay?" she asked.
Beth stopped before she could crash into Chrys.

Evan hadn't seen the man coming, so he took the hit pretty hard. A few awkward seconds passed before he found the strength to sit up. When he did, there was a mild gash on his forehead above his right eye, but other than that and a few sore spots here and there, he was unharmed. "Ow..."
Patrick scrambled after Ace, joining her and the others surrounding his fallen friend. "Ev, are you alright?!"
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm good..."
Jen leaned down and inspected his injury. "Whew... Just missed your eye. Doesn't look too bad. Should be able to patch it up down at the lodge." She turned to the man who had hit him. "Might wanna watch where you're going there, buddy."

"Ugh..." The red-headed young man forced himself up and scrambled over to Evan. "Aw, geez, I'm so sorry! I lost control and I could barely see and I tried to stop and...!"
As he continued to babble non-stop, Swift caught wind of that awful scent again. This time it was much stronger, and it wasn't coming from Ace; these facts only made her that much more suspicious.
"Buddy, calm down!" Ace chuckled. "You didn't hurt him too bad, and hey, no one's gonna be perfect on their first run."
"Yeah... I guess I am still kinda new at this." He awkwardly rubbed his head. "Again, sorry. M-My name's Louis."

"Chrys and derpy here is Beth," Chrys offered.
"You okay sir?" Beth asked before looking to Chrys. "And I am not derpy!"

Evan managed to stand back up with Jen's help. "Evan, and don't worry; no harm done."
"You want me to just fix that up right here?" Patrick offered.
"Oh, yeah! Thanks, Pat."
Patrick nodded and touched Evan's forehead, fingertips illuminated with purple light that spread out over the cut and instantly healed it. "There. It's like it never happened."
"Definitely a useful trick to keep in hand," Darien mused.

Louis chuckled awkwardly. "Well, glad to see you can bounce back quickly." He quickly grabbed his ski staves and stood back up. "Sorry again. Have a nice day." Then, with a push and several stumbles, he was trekking down the mountain again.
Swift sighed. "Alright, now that that's out of the way, let's keep 'er movin'!"
"Right!" Ace quickly jumped back on her board and sped off again.

"Whoa! Wait up, Ace!" Patrick laughed as he hastily got back on his board and raced after her.
Evan smiled at his friends' backs, then looked up at Jen as she gave him a light slap on the arm and asked, "Good?"
"Good." He nodded, following after the others.
"Lucky," Darien chuckled under his breath.
Jen smiled at him. "What's lucky?"
"Figured I'd be the first to crash that hard."
She gave him a teasing punch before they too resumed their ride down the slope.

Ace laughed as Patrick and Evan caught up to her. Before they reached her, however, she shot a teasing grin over her shoulder. "Try to keep up, boys!"
She then unfolded her wings, angling them so that the wind pushing against them created a slipstream and sent her whizzing down the mountain at an intense speed. "WHOO-HOOOOO!!"
"Yeah, go Ace!" Swift cheered as she skied alongside Jen and Darien. "Life's as extreme as you wanna make it!!"
Ace was laughing with pure, unbridled joy as she raced ahead of the others, but her inexperience quickly became apparent as obstacles started to appear. She found herself unable to slow down in time to effectively dodge them and wound up hitting her wing against a tree and spinning out with a startled yelp, collapsing face-first in the snow.
She barely heard her friends' shouts with her head swimming in a torrent of motion sickness caused by the rush. She wobbled as she tried to sit up, only to hunch over and vomit into the snow. Once that was out of the way, she quickly started to feel better... but at the same time, Ace noticed that her puke was almost a strange, pinkish-purple color.
"What...?"
When she heard the others nearing her, she frantically covered her puke in snow and scrambled back onto her feet. Best not to give them something else to worry about. "No worries! I'm okay!"
(No one saw her puking, mkay?)

Beth and Chrys followed behind with Chrys leading Beth.
"You sure? That was a nasty spill," Chrys offered.
