Besties for the Resties

Alexandra wanted this title, I swear guys-

It was December, and Winter Break had finally arrived. Alexandra's family had made plans to rent cabins with some friends during the break. Alexandra's best friends were among those who came.

Her friend, Amethyst, who was an only child, came with her parents. Her mother was a university professor who taught Medieval History, and her father, Robert Epps, was an army captain who was friends with Mazikeen. Alexandra's other best friend, Rosalyn, came up with her family. She had an older cousin around Sam's age, who Sam had been crushing on for years. Her mother was in the police force, and her father was a mechanic. Both Alexandra's and Amethyst's fathers always gave Rosalyn's dad a hard time, given how their jobs were all heroic, while all he did was fix cars. Rosalyn's father always tried to defend himself,

"Hey, I have a very tough job. The other day, I wrestled a feisty cat to get her cat out of a car. I almost had to get stitches," 

Robert Epps chuckled,

"Yeah, sure, and the other day I was in a firefight. I was almost shot," 

Ronald laughed and clinked beers with Robert,

"Good one," 

Alexandra and her trio walked up to their dads.

"I don't mean to break this up, but can we go into the forest? We wanna go on a hike,"

Mazikeen walked up to Alexandra, 

"You guys want to go hiking in the snow? You hate the cold,"

Rosalyn nodded and nudged Mazikeen,

"Yes! Duh, it's not every day we get the chance to go on a hike together."

"We're fully prepared. We got our snow boots, snow jackets, snow gloves, and even a walkie-talkie so we can check in with you guys at the top of every hour," 

Mazikeen crossed her arms,

"Y-"

Ron put  a hand on her shoulder, 

"Calm down-"

The three teens dramatically fell on their knees,

"Pretty pleeeeeaaasssee,"

Robert chuckled, 

"The physical appearance of the 'please' makes no difference," 

The trio of friends didn't know how to respond, but their expressions were funny. The fathers laughed, and then Ron sighed,

"Oh, alright. Check-in with us every half hour, don't wander off too far, and stick together. And..."

"WE KNOW," 

Mazikeen sighed,

"We are just making sure. Now get outta here." 

They hugged their dads, and Alexandra dramatically hugged Mazikeen, 

"We will be back from the trenches,"

Mazikeen rolled her eyes with a chuckle, 

"Okay,"

Then, they took off into the white forest. Not even fifteen minutes into the hike, they were out of breath. Walking uphill in the snow was a lot harder than they thought, and the cold air didn't help either. They took a small break, then started back up again. They were too tired to talk, so Rosalyn pulled out her iPod and put some music on.
