BRANDON
I woke up around 11:30 am with Melissa's head on my shoulder, we
woke up at the same time and kissed. "You ready for
today?" I asked. "Yeah..." she said smiling
"...as long as Amy doesn't get in my way." "Don't
even mention her, I don't want anything to spoil my mood." I
said. "It's almost time." Eric said as he leaned over
the couch. "I'm ready." Melissa replied. "Who is
in this race anyhow?" Eric asked. I picked up the clipboard
and looked it over. "First race, Test, Diana Sheridan-Wolfe,
Beyonce Knowles, Melissa, Michelle Williams, Holly, Andrea, and
Christian Coverdale." I said. Melissa grabbed her board and
went out to the starting line with the others.
I got off of the couch as Amy approached me. "Brandon..." I cut her off "...Amy, you are in the last race of the day." Amy then said "That's not why I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to say I'm sorry." "Amy, you tried to ruin what I have with Melissa, I can't forget that, nor can I forgive it. Amy, I love Melissa more then anything in the world and I personally don't understand why you are trying to ruin it." I said.
"It's because I love you Brandon, you saved me from Donnie, he could have killed me, and you can't deny that there has always been something between us." Amy said getting close to me. "Amy...." I said pulling away from her "....bottom line. It's never going to happen." I said as I sat on the couch and watched the race start.
All eight skiers sped down the course, but there was a mishap early on, Holly slipped and took out herself, Andrea and Christian Coverdale. Beyonce, Test and Melissa stayed neck and neck the whole race, but Diana Sheridan-Wolfe stayed far ahead of the pack, Test fell on his way down too. The first four people to cross the finish line were Diana Sheridan-Wolfe, Beyonce, Melissa, and Michelle Williams.
"I'm guessing people fall a lot on this course?" Matt Hardy asked. "Yep, it happens a lot, there are tiny hidden bumps in the course that can cause a fall. Case in point, Holly, she fell victims to those bumps." I said. Holly walked in and Eric went straight to her and checked on her. "Now that is love." Matt said as he looked at Holly and Eric. "Reminds me of me and Melissa." I said.
I went over to Melissa as she came in. "Congrats girl, you are racing tomorrow." I said. "Thanks" She replied, she then looked behind me and saw Amy giving us the evil eye look." Don't worry about her, ok?" I replied. I then held her close to me. "I love you." I said.

NICOLE
Two hours later
Three races down and some of the people advancing are Michelle Williams, RVD and Melissa Sheridan. Jeff Hardy, Kyle Gilmore and Eric Draco were among the eliminated. "You ready?" I asked Brandon as he warmed up for his race. "Oh yeah, I'm ready." Brandon said. "You sure Amy won't be a factor?" I asked. "She won't be any trouble." Brandon replied as he grabbed his board and went to the start line.
Andrew Martin then came up to me. "Nicole, about this morning..." I cut him off "...I'm sorry, I had no idea you would be....naked. I'm sorry." Andrew laughed. "It's ok." He said, he then moved in and kissed me. "Wow, wasn't expecting that." I replied. Andrew kissed me again. "Let's watch the race."Andrew replied. "Amy's in this race." I replied as we sat on the couch next to Eric and Holly.
Amy took off in the lead from the start with Jason Draco close behind, but Jason's size impaired his speed, and he fell. Brandon, Scott Levy and Diana Ortiz made it around him, but others weren't so lucky they collided with Jason and fell. Amy, Scott Levy, Diana Ortiz and Brandon advanced to the next round.
"Nicole, wanna come into town and get some food?" Matt Hardy asked. "Yeah, sure." I said as I got up, kissed Andrew again and left with Matt, Jason and Sheridan. There was a store about five miles from the slopes. "Nicole, what's with you and Test?" Sheridan asked me. "I think we are official." I said. Jason and Matt approached us with a cart full of chips, pizzas and other assorted junk food. "Damn, get enough crap? We still have to get the sub sandwiches." Sheridan replied. "We've got the money." Jason said. "Yeah, and we've also got a wedding to plan." Sheridan said. Matt then got in 'When is the wedding anyway?" "Mid-March is what we are shooting for." Sheridan replied.
Matt, Sheridan, Jason and I piled all of the junk food and sandwiches into Sheridan's SUV and headed back to the mountain. When we got back to the lodge Brandon, Eric, Simon Carmichael and Diana Sheridan-Wolfe were on stage performing, and the place was going crazy for them.
