" We will leave here at 9:00 sharp in the morning. Not 9:05, but 9:00. Anyone not here will be left behind and must find their own way to the lodge. We will be taking 3 cars.  I will expect payment from everyone before we go. Since I have already paid the deposit, I will expect to take out my reimbursement. Everyone will be allowed to take 1 large OR 2 small bags. Not one piece more because we do not have the room", instructed  Isabel, her curls bouncing as she paced and waved her hands.
Max and Michael were sitting at the kitchen table watching her tirade.
Michael slid down in his chair and closed his eyes, mumbleing under his breath, "I wish I were somewhere else right now".
Isabel  whips  around and  pounces on him. "What was that Michael?"
Michael 's eyes fly open and he sits up quickly. "Nuthin. Nuthin at all".
"I didn't think so !", said Isabel. Max is struggling to hide a grin, but Isabel sees it.
"And just what are you smirking at?", she grits at him.
Max quickly swallows his grin in the face of his sisters wrath.
"I wasn't smirking. I had a tickle in my nose", and he twitches his nose.
Isabel just nods. 
"We will meet at the Crashdown at 5:00  this evening. don't be late!", and she walks out of the room glancing at Michael and hiding a smile.
Michael stands up and stretches. "Man, she 's  going to make this one hell of a long trip Maxwell. You would think that when the "Christmas Nazi" turned in her notebook from hell that she would be sated, but no , then out comes the "Winter Trip Queen".  I'm telling you Maxwell, this trip is going to blow. It should be fun with no chaperones this year. We're starting college. Skiing is fun. Isabel is making this suck."
Max stands up . "Michael you know she just wants this ski trip to  be nice. All we have to do is humor her and everything will be great. You'll see."
Michael looks at him and nods. "I know, but man she really lays into ya, you know? Well I've got to go and get my "1 large bag OR 2 small ones" to carry on the trip. see ya." And he walks out the door.
Max watches him go and decides he better pack his own bags or Isabel would want to know why.

At 5:00 sharp Isabel walked into the Crashdown and approached Max and Alex who were sitting in a booth. 
"I said 5:00. Where is everyone?", demanded Isabel.
Max and Alex nervously looked at each other and then Max looked at Isabel and spoke.
"Liz and Maria are working, Kyle and Tess are late,  and Michael is right behind you", answered Max.
Isabel jumped, startled  and yelled as she turned around and found Michael right behind her.
"God, could you get any closer Michael?"
She sat down in the booth next to Max and tried to recover from the unsettling feeling of having Michael so close. Why did she feel this way?
Michael was shocked at her reaction  and said, "If you would pay more attention Isabel, then you would know when people are behind you! You said 5:00 and I am here at 5:00!"
When had he noticed how good Isabel smelled?  The way  her face  got all flushed when she got excited. What was he thinking?!
About that time Kyle and Tess walked up. 
"I think I said 5:00 sharp, NOT 5:10!", gritted Isabel.
Tess glances at Max and he shakes his head. Tess understands and says, "Isabel it is my fault. I was trying to get my 1 bag packed and lost track of time. Don't blame Kyle, we came together".
"Yeah, I'm just the driver", said Kyle throwing up his hands as if to defend himself.
Liz and Maria come over to the table and look upset and nervous.
"Isabel, I can't leave at 9:00 like we planned. My Dad said I have to work. He is hosting a party and needs me until late tomorrow afternoon. I will have to drive up on my own or cancel. Sorry", said Liz.
Isabel looked at Liz like she had told her that there was no tobassco sauce.
"Didn't you tell him this was already planned?", demanded Isabel.
"Isabel, Liz can't leave her Dad in a bind like that just to go skiing. This is his livelyhood and he needs her to work. She will be out later", said Maria.
Max looked at his sister and said," I really think that I should wait and drive Liz up so she does not have to drive by herself that late".
"Hey that's great",said Alex. "My band has a gig tomorrow morning and Maria and I were going to have to come up later anyway. Can we ride with you and Liz?"
Max and Liz say that it is okay with them.
"Well it's not okay with me!", gritted Isabel. "We have a plan and the plan must be followed".
Max looks at her and tries to calm her down, 'Isabel that was your plan. Sometimes things happen that we have no control over like this. We are all going to go skiing, but we just won't all arrive together. It will all be okay, you'll see".
"Well now that the others are telling you their sad stories, let me tell you that my Dad said no trip unless I finish some chores for him. So I will have to come up later too", said Kyle.
"Oh great! So now only Tess and Michael and I are actually following the plan!", said Isabel.
"Actually...I am going to ride up with Kyle", said Tess who had become smitten with Kyle.
He turned to look at her and  grinned.
Isabel hurt , angry, and still unnerved by him,   turned and attacked Michael," And what excuse do you have? Doing your laundry? Cleaning your apartment? How are you going to get out of it?"
Michael could hear the hurt in her voice and knew that even though he would regret being locked up in a car with Isabel when she was this way , he would not let her down. 
"Actually, I'm still on board with the plan", he said hoping she would smile.
Isabel , suprised , softly smiled at him. "Thanks Michael".

"Michael just stay on this road and we will be there in a few hours!", said Isabel who was looking at the map.
Michael looked at her exasperated. "Isabel, I'm telling you , there's a short cut we can take on this next road that will get us there sooner!"
Isabel dropped the map down some and looked at Michael,"If you don't want to drive Michael, then pull over and I will do it", she said low.
"Fine! We'll stay on the damn road. But I'm telling you it's a mistake", growled Michael.
Isabel looked at him. Wanting to reach over and  brush the  hair out of his eyes , she relented. "Okay Michael, take your road".
Michael  looked at her and smiled and nodded. He took the next road and they drove on for miles , Michael's Metatllic CD the only sound to be heard.
Both were lost in their own thoughts about the other and did  not notice the storm that had appeared until it was to late and it was on them.
"Man, where did this come from?", said Michael.
Isabel felt a little frightened and yelled at Michael." Great Michael! Your short cut has us lost and in a snow storm!"
"Hey, we checked the weather reports and no mention of a storm showed up. This must be one those freak storms you hear about. As for the short cut...I'm sorry about that Is", said Michael.
Isabel knows this is not Michael's fault and tells him so.
"I better get what we need from the trunk in the way of provisions. We may be here for awhile",said Michael as he forced open his door and walked to back to the trunk. He retrieved the 2 blankets, Isabel's favorite pillow, and the snack box.
He made his way back to the door and handed his load to Isabel. He then fetched the thermos of hot chocolate and the flashlight from the back seat.
Isabel tried her cell phone and said," We must be out of range".
Isabel shivered and Michael covered her up with the blankets. She smiled her thanks and snuggled down . Soon though she was shivering again. Michael pulled her close away from  the door. She greatfully cuddled next to him. He smelled so good she thought.
"Why don't you sleep and I will keep watch" , he said to her.
She began to dream. It was just like before only more of it. Her and Michael making love, playing with their baby. She woke up shaking, and unsettled.
"Are you okay?", he asked her.
She shivered from the cold and the unsettling dream. Why had the dreams started again? Was he getting them too? He had not mentioned them to her. Maybe it was just her.
"I'm just cold", she said not looking at him but wishing for just some of that dream to happen.
"I want you to drink some of this hot chocolate to warm you up", Michael tells her.
He pours her some chocolate and she drinks some and grimaces. "It's cold".
He waves his hand over it until it steams. She tastes it and grins her thanks, drinking it down.
She feels warmer now and drifts back to sleep to dream of Michael.
Michael watches her  thinking about the dreams that had begun again recently.
Was she experiencing them too? They were more detailed dreams. The love making was incredible,and to see their child was so amazing.
He to, soon fell asleep and  dreamed of Isabel and  how good he felt when he was with her.

They both awoke with a start. 
The climax in their dream was  so hard it had shaken them as if it was really happening.
Isabel was so embarrassed that she could not look at Michael. What would he say if he knew she had these thoughts about him? If he knew she had feelings for him that were not for a friend, but for  a lover? For someone she loved.
He glanced her way and saw she was embarrassed about something. My God! She must be having the dreams too. He hoped she didn't know how he felt about her. It would upset her. But he had to know.
"Isabel, are you having the dreams again too?", he asked her quietly.
She closed her eyes and nodded her head. Yeah, just as he figured, she was upset.
"I think we need to talk about this. Now is the perfect time since we have no where to go. Why do you think we keep having these dreams? At first I thought Tess was making us have them. But now with Tess  so into Kyle and not interested in a destiny with Max anymore, I can't imagine why she would do it. Plus , how could she do it out here? ", questioned Michael.
Isabel turned to him lashing out," What do you want me to say Michael? That I'm having  very erotic dreams about you and me, and I'm even feeling these dreams? That I see our baby and know how it feels to hold him? To hold you and make love with you? That I feel more for you than just friendship? That I have strong feelings for you? That I'm in love with you?"
They stare at each other shocked by what she has just admitted. She closes her eyes and wants to die. How could she have just admitted that to him?
She had strong feelings for him? She was in love with him?
She felt like he did!
He leaned over and gently kissed her. Her lips were so smooth and warm. He parted her lips  with his tongue and she gave him access to her mouth. Their tongues danced about until she withdrew shivering with pleasure and cold. 
"Your freezing again. Lay down and sleep". 
He put her pillow behind her on the seat and lay her down , joining her and covering them both up with the blankets.
"Go to sleep Isabel", he said, holding her close in his arms. She was confused and embarassed. He had not said anything to her about how she felt. 
"Hey Isabel?", Michael said. 
"Yes?", she answered trying not to cry.
"I love you too", Michael said feeling strange. He hugged her to him and kissed her hair.
She smiled and nodded in relief.
They dreamed even more intensly than ever before. They could feel it all. They even felt the baby growing inside her.
Michael awoke and shook his head to clear it. These dreams were becoming more and more real. He looked down at Isabel and frowned.Why didn't she wake up? He felt of her and jumped at the coldness of her skin. Ice. He reached for the flashlight and shined it on her face. Her lips were losing their color. 
Oh God,please don't let her die!, he prayed.
He had to get her warm.He did it the only way he knew how.
He quickly undressed himself and then her. She shivered violently and he moved ontop of her and pulled the blankets over them. She would be furious with him for this , but he would not let
her die. 
He loved her. Was in love with her. Would die for her, or with her.
He slept.

She awoke to a pleasant , yet heavy warmth ontop of her. They were naked! She didn't think Michael tried anything, he cared for her to much. She supposed it was for warmth. Didn't they say body heat shared was the best?
She called his name softly," Michael? Michael?"
He stirred and smiled at her. She didn't act mad. He kissed her.She kissed him back.
"I dreamed of you all night", she said.
"I know, I dreamed of you too".
"What do we do about it Michael?"
He looked away and moved to get up. She stopped him.
"Don't get up. Stay and kiss me again".
"Isabel, if we keep kissing and laying here naked, then something else is going to happen".
She thought about that and said," I know Michael. I think I want it too".
He studied her face and then he began to make the sweetest, gentlest, passionate love to her. He kissed her, and caressed her, and stroked  her  until she knew she would die. 
Then he entered her slowly , feeling how tight she was. How good.
He knew he was causing her pain and he hated that. She cried out and then she encouraged him to keep going. "I'm okay, just don't stop", she said feeling pleasure take over the pain.
He carried her to her orgasm and watched her face as she came over and over. He held himself in check so that she could have her pleasure, then when he knew that she was done, he let himself go and pushed into her hard,grazing her sensetive nub and making her cum again with him. They came back to earth  with labored breathing, holding each other, afraid to let go.
"Isabel, I love you. I think I always have."
"I know Michael, I know. Me too".
They made love over and over again.And then they slept sated in their love.

They awoke to sun streaming in the window and the sound of snowmobiles.
"Michael, do you hear that?", asked Isabel.
"Yeah, get dressed. I think our rescuers are here", he answered.
They quickly dressed . A knock came to the window, and Michael found two men, rescuers.
"Are you the ones from Roswell ?", one man asked.
"Yeah, that's us", replied Michael.
'Well your friend's sent us to look for you. Said you would probably be here. Said you would look for a short cut", said the other.
They took Michael and Isabel to the lodge where their friends awaited them.

Max hugged his sister and friend and and then whispered," I want to know what happened out there".
They  stared at him  uncomfortably and shifted around to the others.
Alex  and Kyle slapped Michael on the back and ribbed him for his short cut.
Tess, Maria, and Liz kidded Isabel about her plan.
Then Tess took Isabel aside and asked, "Well was it better than the dreams?"
Isabel 's mouth dropped open. "What are you talking about?" She felt herself grow warm.
Tess grinned and shrugged. "I don't know really. Max and I both felt something.Several times actually". She grinned.
Isabel looked toward Max and saw him watching her. A slow grin started on his face. Isabel turned red. How could they know? This was so embarassing.
She hurried to Michael and told him she needed a shower and a bed. He nodded while looking at her with passion and love filled eyes. He stroked her hair without thinking.
They were both so caught up in each other that they did not see the others watching them.
Max  was happy for his sister and friend, yet felt funny knowing they had had sex.
Tess and Kyle were  pleased that Isabel and Michael were not growling about their misfortune.
Liz was happy for them, yet sad for Alex and Maria. She glanced their way.
But Alex and Maria took it hard. Granted they had not dated the alien's in two years, but it still hurt to see them together, just like their destiny predicted.
"Uummm, you two should get a room before you do something out here in public", said Max interrupting them.
Michael and Isabel glanced around and saw the faces of their friends and fled into the lodge.

Michael and Isabel showered and made love all afternoon to the delight of most of the others.
Tess and Max knew that they would not be pursueing their destiny with each other, but with Kyle and Liz.  If Michael and Isabel had found destiny in each other, then they were glad for them.
Michael and Isabel lay exhausted after making love again. 
Michael was deep in thought and then suddenly said," Isabel, would..."
"Oh my God, Michael, you just scared me to death! I thought you had gone to sleep!", Isabel exclaimed.
"What? Oh , I'm sorry, I just...well I wanted to ...I want you to marry me. Will you marry me Isabel?", he finished in a rush.
"What! Marry you!", said a shocked  Isabel.
The look on Michael's face let her know that she had hurt his feeings by not answering the way he had expected.
"Oh , Michael, yes I'll marry you!"
He felt like he would burst he was so happy. Isabel had said yes . He loved her so much. 
He kissed her and they made love again.

They went to dinner and told their friends of their plans. Congratulations were given all around, even by Alex and Maria, albeit sadly.

Several months later...
Micahel and Isabel 's wedding day was sunny and beautiful.
She had wanted a fancy wedding. He had not. They had compromised.
I t was held in the garden of the Evans's home .
Isabel wore a white sheath dress with straps, and low heels. She wore flowers from the garden in her hair and she carried some in her hand.
Michael wore a dark suite and light colored collarless shirt.
Tess and Liz, wore dark blue  strapless dresses with flowers in their hair.
Kyle and Max wore what Michael did minus the jacket. Michael thought that totally sucked that he was stuck wearing a jacket.
Alex and Maria performed the music and had come to accept Michael and Isabel being together.
The reception was lovely and everyone wonered who would catch the bouquet and marry next. No one was suprised when it was Liz. And with the look that Max gave her , they knew it would be soon.

Michael and Isabel were entwined on their honeymoon bed and trying to catch their breath.
Isabel smiled to herself and said," Michael? "
"Yeah, babe?"
"You know dreams come true don't you?"
"What?" , he asked her.
"All of your dreams are about to come true very soon", she replied.
He thought about this for a minute and then it hit him.
He turned to her and asked," Are you pregnant?"
Isabel just smiled and nodded her head.
He placed his hand on her abdomen and then leaned down to kiss where his child lay nestled in her belly.
"I love you Isabel".
"I love you to Michael".
