OH ***** NO AL!!! MUSH!!!
Bette did her best to get her sled going at top speed to catch up to Alice who had seemed to make hers fly all of a sudden. Tina and Dana were hanging on for dear life as the two competitive friends were hauling ***** to beat each other.

UmAlice where are we going? The map says to stay along the river bed, not go over the mountain.
Shhhh. Dont worry Dana, I know a short cut. And its not a mountain, its a hill.
No Alice! I dont care if it is a fricken hill! No shortcuts please!
Oh quit being such a ***** Dana! Bette and Tina are ahead of us and we need to make up ground. I refuse to lose to priggish Porter!
Well maybe if you stopped talking so much ***** before we left, your crack head wouldnt be dragging my ***** up and over this damn mountain! Now turn around and go back to the trail were supposed to be on Alice!
Like I said Dane, stop being such a ***** about it and suck it up! Were gonna win this damn race!

With that Alice urged the dogs to move faster, throwing Dana back on the sled, hanging on for dear life. Dana had no other option but to close her eyes and pray that Alice wouldnt kill them and that their guardian angels liked the cold, because she had a feeling that they would be needing themand probably soon.

Bette and Tina continued to follow the river and make there way to the next checkpoint. Tina could tell that Bette was just itching to find a short cut to get them their faster, but she made sure to keep her in check. Since pulling in front of Alice and Dana Bette seemed to grow more driven than ever before to prove to Alice that she could do this. Tina was a bit worried that the competition between Alice and Bette would get out of hand, so every so often she would sneak a peak behind them to see if Alice and Dana were alright.

T, why do you keep looking behind us?
I just want to make sure that Alice and Dana are okay thats all.
Well theyre old enough to take care of themselves and if they cant keep up with us then they deserve to be eating our dust!
Oh come on babe. Theres no harm in checking on our friendsespecially Dana, Im worried about her.
Well the only thing you should be worried about is helping us win this race, because I refuse to a Alice.

Tina shook her head as she looked behind them. She could have sworn that Bette and Alice acted like the biggest kids sometimes, especially when it came to competing against each other.

Oh *****! Babe, where did Alice and Dana go? They were right behind us a minute ago!
Maybe they couldnt cut it and decided to quit!
Okay Bette, thats enough! I know you want to win this race, but I want to make sure that we all finish safely.
They cant be that far behind T, why dont we just keep going to the checkpoint. Im sure well see them dragging ***** to campeventually. And besides, if they dont make it there, Im sure we can ask to send someone out to find those losers.

Throwing her hands up over her head Tina decided to give up. Bette competitive nature had taken over and there was no way she could convince her to double back and look for their friends. After some thought, she decided that Bette was probably right when she said that they should make it to the checkpoint instead of trying to find Al and Dane themselves. Sitting back on the sled, Tina decided to do her best not to worry and to make the most of the day and enjoy the ride.

While Bette and Tina continued down below, Alice was driving the sled like a mad woman. Dana was still hanging on for dear life, watching the dogs run through the snow as she listened to Alices unconscious mantra behind her,

I wont lose this race. I wont lose this race. Porter your ***** is mine. Your ***** is mine. I wont lose this race.

Just then, as if out of nowhere, a huge rock appeared in the path of the dogs and the sled. It was too late for Alice to stop the dogs and the sled as they headed straight for the rock. The dogs were able to avoid the sled, breaking away from their harness, but the sled carrying Dana, Alice and the supplies continued on toward the black, jagged nemesis.

Oh ssshhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttttttttt!
Oh fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkk!!

The sled hit the rock and was sent flying through the air. The supplies went flying end over end, landing with a loud thud in the snow as Alice and Dana were also thrown into the air. They landed on their asses and began tumbling down the side of the hill. They were flipping, rolling and tumbling down the slick snow, unable to stopa feeling of nausea begin to over whelm them both. Legs were flying, arms flailing, and the continuous motion of ***** over head was all that they felt for god knows how long. They continued slipping and sliding along, for what seemed like an eternity, before crashing into a large pine tree. They lay there sprawled out on the snow, waiting for the spinning to subside, staring up at the blue sky.

***** Al! What the ***** just happened?!
I dont know, but it was fun! Lets do it again!
Oh ***** no! Where the ***** are we? What the fuckowwww my hip!
Ouch.oohhhh
Oh gawd Alare you hurt?
I think Ill be okay, just a little banged up. Nothing broken, but boy does it hurt.
Good! Im glad it hurts! I hope it hurts a lot!
Wwhhhaaaatttt?!
Well it was your stupid crack head idea to take this so called short cut and now we dont even know where we are, where the dogs are, and where our ***** is!
Okay, okay! SheezI get it, I get it! I messed up okay!
Well at least you admit it! Now come on we have to go and find the sled and the dogs.
What? Why? Cant we just stay hereplease. I think Im gonna cry.check that I think Im gonna be sick.
Oh, stop being a ***** Al. Now get off you ***** and start marching it back up this damn hill!

Alice hung her head as she trudged back up the hill, Dana following right behind her, smacking the back of Alices head every so often to remind her of who got them in this mess. They got back to the top of the hill where the hit the rock and began the pain staking process of finding, picking up and repacking the supplies onto the sled.

Okay I think we got everything. Wheres the dogs?
How the ***** should I know? Maybe you should go and find them, since it was your damn crack ***** idea that caused us to lose them in the first place.
Are you going to remind me of that at every opportunity you get?
Yup!
Okay I got itsince your hip hurts, and since I got us into this, why dont you sit on the sled and Ill pull you while we look for the dogs.
You know what Al? Thats the best idea Ive heard from you yet. Now mush! Mush I said!

Alice obliged and began the slow humiliating trudge through the snow, as Dana sat on the sled, scanning the land for signs of the dogs and for other racers. Traveling along the edge of the hill, both women strained their eyes, trying to look for other signs of life. They carried on for a while, Alice trying to formulate another plan in her mind, Dana trying to suppress the fears that were quickly growing inside of her.

AlIm scared. What if we dont get back? What if they never find us?
Stop talking like Dane. Everything will be alrightyoull see.
But what if we freeze and die a miserable death out here.
Its not gonna happen I tell yah. Now cheer up you hear.everything will be A-okay, youll see.

Alice turned back to look at Dana trying her best to calm the fears that were growing while hiding her own. All of a sudden, the sled slipped as the weight shifted toward the edge. Alice tried her best to stop the sled from slipping any further but was quickly knocked off her feet and right into Danas lap.

Oh sshhhhhhiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt! Not again!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!

Both Alice and Dane held on for dear life as the sled went zooming down the side of the hill. They were being tossed and whipped in all directions, yelling as the sped down toward the base of the mountain. They ducked and swerved, doing their best to avoid another painful slide on their asses down the hill. The speed of the sled seemed to keep increasing the further the slide down the hill and before they knew it they where headed straight of another treethis time at the base of the hill.

Agghhhh.ouchohhhhlookowwwthe dogs!
Sssshhhhhiiiiittttt the tree!

They came to an abrupt halt, crashing into the tree and landing in a heap. As they lay there sprawled out yet again in the snow they heard a pair of familiar voices.

Holy *****! Bette, look its Al and Dana. AL! DANA! ARE YOU OKAY?!
What the ***** happened to them?

Bette and Tina pulled up besides the heap that they called their friends and jumped off of their sled. Tina ran over to Al and Dana while Bette went off to round up their sled dogs that were resting under a tree as the whole hilarious sight unfolded before them.

Hey Al. Dana. Are you guys alright?
Huh? Where are we? Oh Tina! Am I ever glad to see you!
Hey Dane. Ouchlooks like you got a nasty bump on your head. How are you feeling?
Cold. Scared. Pissed. Other than that I feel okay.
Are you sure?
No. Oh my god Tina. It was awful. I was so scared. Someone had the bright ***** idea to take a short cut, I dont think I need to name names. We crashed and went tumbling down the hill. Had to climb back up and now we came crashing down again. I thought I would never see you guys again.
Its okay Dana. Come here. Youre safe now. Everything will be okay. Youll see.

Tina and Dana embrace each other in a tight hug, completely ignoring Alice who was sulking off near the sled surveying the damage to their ride. Tears of joy and relief flowed from both Tina and Danas eyes as they talked. Alice already felt bad that her mouth got them into this mess, but now she felt even worse as she watched the interaction before her. As she was rubbing her head ans her ***** simultaneously, Bette walked up with the dogs behind her,

Hey Al. Are you okay?
Never better. I feel great!
Are you sure? That must have been one nasty ride.
Yup Im sure. Ive never been better, and Ive never been more ready to kick your *****.
Oh yeah? Is that so? Well then why did you feel the need to take a short cut?
Huh? What short cut? I was merely conducting field research when unfortunate events happened. But everything is okay, and Im still gonna win this race!
Well well just see about that missy. Here I think you lost something.

Bette handed the dogs off to Alice before leaving to talk to Tina and Dana. Alice was left standing in the middle of the mess, sulking as she tried to figure out how to get them back on track so they could win the race. A loud whoop and yell jarred her from her thoughts and she looked up just in time to see Bette and Tina beginning to pull away. Both Bette and Tina called out in unison to Dana,

Take care Dana. Well see you at camp.

They waved and smiled at their friend before Bette turned and locked eyes with Alice. Pointing a finger at her and giving Alice her cockiest look she shouted,
See you later sucka! Eat my snow!

Alice could still hear Bette laughing as she watched Bette and Tina pull away. She was grouchy as ***** now, especially after Bettes last comment. She couldnt move so she just stood there as she watched in envy the sled with her friends grow smaller and smaller against the white blanket of snow covering the ground. She stood there until they could no longer be seen, and as if by some delayed reaction, she finally managed to yell,

Just you wait Porter! Well see whos eating whos dustI mean snow! Loser!
