Rock Dog: The Songs We Sing

Chapter 5 - Soldi

"Woohoo!" Bodi cheered as he, Darma, Grem and Trey skied down the course in excitement. Skiing took him back to his childhood when he sleds down the small hills surrounding the village. After feeling down for a few days due to struggling with his music identity, he felt his energy re-kindling his body again.

With Trey ahead of him on his snowboard, Bodi found an opening just ahead and overtook him to finish the course first. He lifted his ski sticks in the air in jubilation as they got to the end.

"Damn it!" Trey cursed himself as Bodi beat him. However, he got out of his snowboard and hugged Bodi. "Well played, Bodi!" he congratulated the young mastiff as Darma and Grem joined in.

"Such a shame Angus isn't with us today..." Grem lamented, making a fact that Angus was meeting up with their agent Ian today to finalise the St Jupiter concert plans.

"We've been skiing in the beginner course for about an hour," Darma noted as she checked the watch and it was 11 in the morning. "Let's ski on the intermediate course," Darma suggested.

They all agreed and hop onto the ski lift towards the intermediate course.

8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8

The yellow-marked intermediate course is a longer and slightly difficult course. It has much tighter turns, which means controlling one's speed when going downhill is essential.

They arrived at the start of the course, getting ready to race down a new course together. A year and a half had occurred since they and Angus formed a band and they admitted that, considering Trey was not part of the band in the first place deu to his behaviour not in line with the others, they enjoyed themselves.

"You ready?" Trey asked the rest of the gang as they made their way to the start line.

"Let's go!" Bodi and the rest of the band agreed, and they start skiing down.

The thrill of skiing down a Dongshanding mountain, the speed his skis are gaining, the cold of the wind as everyone ski downwards and the excitement Bodi and his friends were expressing. However, when it comes to safety, that takes priority.

Trey was riding too fast on his snowboard.

It was because of the earlier skiing that Trey was serious in beating Bodi, but that was not important: they were approaching a tight bend in the course.

"Watch out!" Bodi shouted to the Aussie cheetah, but Trey was turning at the bend, and then he stumbled and rolled forward to a stop, stopping at the plastic barrier. Hearing a loud thump, Bodi, Darma and Grem stopped and slowly approached Trey. It seem his right arm looked dislocated, but he did not feel it.

"I'm ok, guys," Trey assured everyone, even though it was not. He landed on his right arm, meaning it looked disjointed and out of place. Bodi thought Trey was used to these kinds of injuries, considering he was enduring a lot of pain. Just then, as if by coincidence, Swifty's girlfriend Jade joined in. She has a first-aid bag on her waist and joined in.
