19 Avalanche

???: (hugs Tabi) Боже мой, Таби !! Не могу поверить, что ты вернулся. [My godness, Tabi!! I can't believe you're back.]

Tabi: Ха-ха, да... [Haha, yeah...]

Agoti: Oh hey, Mrs. Sidorov!!

Mrs. Sidorov: О, я не знала, что ты привел друзей. [Oh, I didn't know you brought friends.] Ahem, hello kids, I'm Yelena Sidorov, Tabi's mom!!

Agoti: Hey, I'm Agoti, Tabi's boyfrie- I MEAN!! A great friend from America, and these are Deimos, Sanford, who are also very good friends.

Deimos: Sup.

Agoti: And then there's GF and BF, who are dating.

GF: It's a pleasure to meet you.

BF: Beep!!

Mrs. Sidorov: Oh, you sure are a lot.

Tabi: We're way more.

Mrs. Sidorov: What?

Tabi: But don't worry, they stay in a hotel.

Mrs. Sidorov: Oh, I see. Anyway, is very cold out here, why do you come in?

Tabi: *sigh* Спасибо, мама [Thanks, mom]. (follows his mom to the living room) Any news from Vivian?

Mrs. Sidorov: She's been coming here every day for a talk. I've asked her if you still talked with her when you were in America, but she said you didn't talk to her ever since you traveled.

Tabi: I know, that's why I'm wondering... It's been a while since I've talked with her. Any idea where she is?

Mrs. Sidorov: Probably at home right now, or maybe at the ice rink.

???: Or maybe at the mountain snowboarding.

Tabi: Oh, hi... dad...

Mr. Sidorov: (walks into the living room) Where have you been?

Tabi: I've... been at America...

Mr. Sidorov: Hmm... (looks at Agoti, and the rest of the group) Who are they?

Tabi: They're... friends I've brought from America... They've... come to... visit Russia.

Mr. Sidorov: I see... Well, welcome to Russia, fellas. (walks to the kitchen)

Agoti: Huh... Thanks?

Mrs. Sidorov: (watches Mr. Sidorov walk away, and looks back to the American fellas) Well... I'll get you something to eat, ok? (also walks to the kitchen)

Tabi: *sigh* (seats on the couch)

Agoti: Damn, I never saw you talking so nervously like that... Are you... Do you have dad issues, Tab...?

Tabi: Is not that I have dad issues, it's just... We don't get along sometimes, and he suspects me all the time.

Agoti: That's called trust issues, and I think I know someone who might have it as well... No offense.

Tabi: No, it's ok. Besides, I'm his son, I'm supposed to be like him some way...

Agoti: Yeah...

Sanford: Hehe, yeah, I understand you too, bud.

Tabi: You do?

Sanford: Yeah... (seats) *sigh* So... I was 16... (whispering) I found out that I was gay, and... When I came out of the closet, my parents just wouldn't accept me, and... I ran away from home. A while later, I teamed up with Hank and so, I was caught by the A.A.H.W., but... (holds Deimos' hand) that's where I met Deimos. Life has its ups and downs, that's for sure, but the most important thing is to live life as something unique. Of course, you can have problems with your parents and so on, but they gave you life, you can hate them, but then you'll see that one day you'll thank them for the life you'll have in the future.

Deimos: Well, I got bro issues.

Agoti: Bro issues?

Deimos: Yeah... Our parents are long gone, man. I only had him for a while, until one day I decided to say "f*ck you" because he now thinks he's the god of everything. Like, f*ck bro, he treated me like I was his slave, not just me but everyone around him.

GF: Jeez, remembers my dad...

Tabi: Just now...?

GF: No, since you broke up with me...

Mrs. Sidorov: (walks in with a board) Ok, kids, have some mini bagels. (places the board on the center table)

Tabi: Oh, I don't remember having these in quite a while. (grabs a bagel and eats)

Mrs. Sidorov: You know, Tabi, I have lots of questions about... (looks worried to his skull) That...

Tabi: Oh, it's... *sigh* a long story, mom.

Mrs. Sidorov: Oh... Ok... (seats) So... *sigh* I actually don't know what to say, it was a big surprise to have you here all of a sudden.

Tabi: Hehehe, I know, I should've warned...

Mr. Sidorov: You ran away from home, why would you warn?

Tabi: Oh... right...

Agoti: *sigh*

Meanwhile, with Garcello's group...

Garcello: (looking around) Hmm...

Edd: So, huh... What have we been searching for exactly?

Annie: McDonald's.

Matt: (picks his phone) Shouldn't we-?

Annie: No GPSs. Finding it by ourselves makes part of the fun of exploring Russia.

Edd: Yeah, I understand, but I'm pretty sure we'll get lost like that... No offense...

Garcello: I'm pretty sure it's that way. Come on.

Edd/Matt: *sigh* (look at each other)

Meanwhile, with Rasazy's group...

Carol: Here it is, the ice rink!!

Whitty: Aaand... how do we get in...?

Rasazy: Hmm, maybe that lady can help us. (walks nearby the lady) Извините меня [Excuse me]?

???: (looks at Rasazy) Hmm?

Rasazy: Вы знаете, мисс, как мы можем попасть на каток [Do you know how can we get into the ice rink, miss]?

Vivian: Конечно. Ты должен иметь дело со мной. Меня сейчас зовут Вивиан [Certainly. You have to deal with me. My name is Vivian by the way].

Whitty: Wait... Vivian? You're Tabi's... Ex-ex girlfriend?

Vivian: W-Wait... Do you know Tabi?

Whitty: Yeah, we came to Russia to him present Agoti to his... parents... You ok?

Vivian: Where is he?

Back, to Sidorov's house...

Deimos: And then we-

Vivian: (quicks to entrance door) Госпожа Сидорова, ваш сын [Mrs. Sidorov, your son is]-

Tabi: (looks at Vivian) Vivian...

Vivian: Tabi...

Tabi: (gets up) H-How did you know I was here?

Vivian: Your friends told me so.

Tabi: Where were you?

Whitty: At the ice rink?

Tabi: Oh, so you're still working there!!!

Vivian: Of course I am, after what you've done over there?

Agoti: What did you've done there?

Tabi: IIII... Might have turned the ice into water, 'cause I was panicking with my fire powers...

Deimos: Wait... You're a firebender, and you didn't tell me?

Tabi: Why should I tell you?

Deimos: (lights a fire with his thumb)

(Silence)

Tabi: Damn...

Vivian: Anyway, welcome back to Russia, and if it weren't for your friends to let me know, you'd still be here, without me knowing, because besides being your... ex-ex-girlfriend, that I now found out also that you already have another ex after me, probably that redhead over there. So tell me, what brought you back to Russia?

Tabi: Huh... I-

Whitty: We just went to visit Russia!!

Deimos: Snowboarding.

Vivian: What?

Deimos: You guys do snowboarding here, right?

Vivian: Oh yeah, at the top of the Munku-Sardyk. Y'all wanna go there?

Agoti: I mean if the mountain isn't that big...

At the mountain...

Agoti: Sh*t...

Vivian: Welcome to Munku-Sardyk!! One of the biggest mountains of Russia to snowboard.

Agoti: The biggest?!?!?

Deimos: One of the biggest.

Vivian: Who would like to go first?

Deimos: I would.

Sanford: You sure you wanna do this, hun?

Deimos: Don't worry, babe, I'll be fine.

Sanford: You know I don't wanna lose you again...

Vivian: (gives a snowboard to Deimos) There you go, bud.

Deimos: Thanks. (looks at Sanford) Look, Ford, I promise, it won't happen again. (holds Sanford's hand) I know I already made that promise in Nevada. (hugs Sanford) I'll be fine.

Sanford: *sigh* (hugs Deimos back) Alright.

Vivian: Wanna come too?

Sanford: N-No thanks.

Vivian: You sure you don't wanna come to protect your boyfriend on the way?

Sanford: Well... Maybe- Wait... How do you-? You're ok with it? But you're Russian...

Vivian: Half Russian, half Portuguese. And of course, I'm cool with it, I appreciate gay people anyway.

Sanford: Oh, that is such a relief.

Vivian: Look, I know you guys aren't just here to visit Russia. You're here for something else, aren't you?

Sanford: Well, Tabi is... But, I think you should ask him that. I don't know if he's ok if I tell you.

Vivian: Oh ok. (picks a snowboard) Thanks, pal.

Sanford: No prob, ma'am.

Vivian: Here's your board. (gives the snowboard to Tabi)

Tabi: Thank you, Vivian.

Vivian: Hey, I don't wanna make you uncomfortable or anything, but... Are you here 'cause of your bisexual thing?

Tabi: *sigh*

Vivian: Tab, you know can tell me.

Tabi: Err, ok. So, we came to Russia, 'cause... I wanted to present Agoti to my parents, but... I'm afraid they won't accept me.

Vivian: Oh, I see. Well, your dad sure won't get things easy, but, I'm sure your mom will accept you. She loves you anyway.

Tabi: You... think she'll accept me?

Vivian: Yeah, she's a sweet woman, I'm sure the government wouldn't change her that way, believe me.

Tabi: Hehe, thanks. At least, you accept me.

Vivian: No problem. (picks her snowboard) Wanna have some fun?

Tabi: Sure, let's go.

Later...

Vivian: Alright, the first who gets down there, where those guys are, win.

Deimos: Haha, yeah! Let's go!

Sanford: (screaming from the finish line) Be careful, Deimos!!

Deimos: Ok, don't worry, Ford!!

Tabi: This is still safe, right?

Vivian: Yeah! I guess...

Tabi: What do you mean "I guess"?!?!?

Vivian: I don't know, it's been a while since I've been here. All I've been doing now is controlling the ice rink there, thanks to Mr. Sidorov Junior here.

Deimos: Huh, guys? Shall we?

Vivian: Oh, right. (lifts her hand) When I count to 3. 1... 2... 3!!

(Vivian, Tabi, and Deimos slide down the mountain)

Rasazy: There they come.

Deimos: Ohhh, this is actually fun!

Vivian: Just be careful with the obstacles.

Deimos: Wait, what?

Tabi: (sliding faster than Vivian and Deimos) See ya later, brats, haha!!

Vivian: Oh, you're not getting away with that! (creates a medium snowball with her ice powers, and throws at Tabi)

Tabi: (turns) Huh? (creates a fire shield with his fire powers, which melts Vivian's snowball) Haha, you gotta have to try a bit harder than that, Vivian!!

Agoti: Haha, yes! Go, Tabi!

Vivian: (smiles) Your boyfriend sure is determined towards you.

Tabi: Yeah, Agoti is an amazing guy.

Vivian: I see, huh, WATCH OUT!!

Tabi: *gasp* (approaches to a giant rock, but he's able to dodge it) *sigh* That was close.

Vivian: Yeah.

Tabi: Wait... Where's Deimos...?

Vivian: I-I don't know... (looks around) Sh*t...

Deimos: (passes right up on Vivian and Tabi's heads) Ayo, guy, what's up?

Tabi: Where were you? Jeez, I thought you got left behind.

Deimos: Haha, why would you ever think that?

(Snow moving noises)

Vivian: Huh, guys? Do you hear that?

Tabi: Hear what?

Deimos: (turns) *gasp*

Carol: *gasp* Avalanche!!

Tabi: Oh god!!

Vivian: Don't worry, I'll get you guys outta here!! (grabs Tabi and Deimos, and breathes out cold air, that turns the snow into ice) Hold on tight now!!

Whitty: Holy sh*t...

Sanford: DEIMOS!!

Deimos: Sanford!!

Vivian: Just hold on!

Tabi: What if we use our fire powers?

Vivian: It's useless, we're talking about an avalanche, guys!

Deimos: Are you sure we can't use them?!

Vivian: Yeah, trust me. You'll have no chances against that!!

Tabi: Sh*******t!!

(Suddenly, a portal opens behind them, that drives the avalanche to another dimension)

Vivian: (turns) What?

Selever: (closes his hand to close the portal) Ha! I knew something was going on here. (lands)

Selene: (lands) Great job, cousin.

Rasazy: How did you know?

Ruv: (slides a bit, next to Rasazy) I had the feeling.

Selever: WE!!!

Rasazy: Where's mom?

Sarvente: Yu-hu!!

Rasazy: (looks up) Oh, hey mom, aren't you cold on that demon form...?

Sarvente: Nope, I'm completely fine, my dear.

Tabi: Ruv! *sigh* How much do I thank you?

Ruv: You don't need to-

Agoti: Tabi!!

Ruv: -he will.

Agoti: (hugs Tabi) Oh, thank goodness you're alive!! Thank you, Ruv.

Ruv: No problem, but you should thank Selever and Sarv for that.

Agoti: (looks at Selever) Thank you! Despite not liking you, Selever!!

Selever: (looks at Agoti) I hate you too, sh*tface!

Ruv: *sigh* The good thing is that we're alone.

Tabi: Oh, right. Guys, meet Vivian. (whispering) This is just half of the crew, there's still some fellas around.

Vivian: Jeez... Well, nice to meet y'all. (looks up) It seems that some of you are demons, (looks at Rasazy) or just half-demons, (pats Rasazy's hair) which is freakin' cool!!

Rasazy: (smiles softly)

Sanford: Deimos!! Are you ok?

Deimos: I'm ok. See? I told you I could do it.

Sanford: I know you did. (kisses Deimos)

Hank: Nice. You're not... dead...

Deimos: Haha, yeah. And lemme guess. You're missing Doc, aren't you?

Hank: (blushes, and looks away) *sniff* yeah...

Deimos: Aww, don't worry, Hank. He's fine, we'll see him soon...

Selever: Can we get over romantic moments, and move our asses to McDonald's?!? I wanna eat something.

(The gang talking in the distance)

???: (walkie-talkie noises) [Сэр, я их вижу ... Да ... Утвердительно. Вы можете перейти к шагу 2] Sir, I see 'em... Yes... Affirmative. You may progress to step 2.
