Winterful Snowskation

Winterful for "wonderful." Snowskation for "snow" and "skating" add it up to "sensation." Get what I mean?

Oopsie! Spoiled it! Never mind.

Moving on...

~One Month Later~

Hiro's POV

I woke up at the right side of my bed next morning. It was Saturday so it means I'm free to do anything I want. As I got up, I saw frost on the window near me. I just shrugged and walked to my desk.

Whoa, what? Frost?

I checked again the window to see if it's still there. I rubbed my eyes to see if it's not a dream. Yep, the frost is still there. I rushed to the window and looked down.

Snow is falling! Awesome!

"Psst," I called to Tadashi, trying to wake him up. "Bro, wake up!"

"Few more minutes," he groaned.

Okay, then. But when it comes to snow, we usually play outside like having a snowball fight with our friends and also have ice skating, if were lucky to find an ice to skate on.

So if Dashi won't wakey wake, maybe this will wake him. I quickly went out to get some snow. Then, I went back up to throw a snowball at his face. I was 2 meters away from him and bull's eye! It was hit right on his face.

As I threw it to him, he woke up and noticed that there was snow on his face. He looked up to check if the ceiling is broken and if it was giving him snow. Or maybe he thought that it's snowing inside.

I chuckled at my very cool interpretation of his mind. And in a flash, Tadashi also threw a snowball at me. I wanted to go on with the fight but no. We should do it outside, like we used to.

"Okay, you've got one point, bro," I teased. "But let's do it outside."

"Game on," Tadshi said with a determined look on his face. "But let me call our friends."

"Well, meet you at the park," I called to him.

I went downstairs, grabbed my coat and skates. I trudged down the snow to go to the park where we are going to meet.

Hmm, maybe Gogo would like to come. So I veered right going to her house. In no time at all, I reached her house. I knocked on her door.

She opened it and said, "Hi, Hiro? I didn't expect you to come!" She looked at me and spotted my skates. "Going ice skating?"

I nodded. "Wanna come?"

"Sure! My mom's not here until 4. Be right back."

In just the matter of time, she was dressed-up for winter and had her skates on one of her shoulder. She locked the door and went to the park with me.

We arrived and Honey Lemon, Tadashi, Wasabi and Fred were there. Honey waved to us so we can come to them.

Once we reached them, Fred spoke before we could, "So, you invited Gogo, huh?"

"What's wrong with being invited?" Gogo retorted.

"Nothing," he said.

"Shall we get going?" asked Wasabi.

We all trudged through the misty and cold weather. In two minutes, we arrived at the place we usually skate. We sat down on the bench and put our skates on. Tadashi, Honey, Fred and Wasabi are already on the ice. They all followed the path which will us somewhere.

"Meet you two at the end!" Wasabi called to us.

They skated off leaving Gogo and I behind. I can see that she was having trouble putting them on.

"Do you need any help?" I offered.

"Got it," said Gogo. "No thanks."

I slid on the ice and Gogo was maybe having trouble on her balance.

"Whoops," she said. "I'm ready to go."

I waited for Gogo to come on the ice but it seems that she doesn't know how to skate. I can tell that because her knees are already wobbly when she got on the ice.

"You okay?" I checked on her.

"Yep, I'm okay," she said.

Gogo's POV

I cannot believe I really can't skate! But I already did this 5 years ago and was fun. And now, I got a case of "Wobbly-Knees-Syndrome" because I haven't skated in ages.

Hiro now and then is watching me to make sure I won't fall off my balance. But still, I fell. Hiro caught me and helped me. He let go of me and my face fell on the snow.

"A little help, please?" I muffled. He helped me and let go of me, again. I almost tripped my balance until he caught both of my hands and held them.

I sighed in relieve. "Thanks a bunch. I guess I forgot how to skate after all."

"Hey, why don't I teach you how to skate?" he offered. "But you'll have to hold my hands until you get faster."

I hesitated. Sure, I know how to skate but that was before. Well, a little help from others can help and make you improve.

"Okay," I said.

I looked down at my feet then back to Hiro. I took a deep breath and told him that I was ready. He started skating and I did too.

"It's just like you're walking on ice," he said.

I was getting more nervous because I might fall. I kept looking down at my feet and my grip on Hiro's hands tightened. He lifted my chin and told me, "Don't look down. Just look at me."

I blushed lightly. To break off the silence, he asked me, "Have you did this before?"

I nodded. "That was five years ago."

"Tell me about it."

"Back in primary school, my parents entered me into the skating program in my former school. I always wanted to skate fast so my wish was granted." I paused short. "Hey, look I'm getting faster."

"So, you want to let go of me now?" he retorted.

"No, no," I pleaded. "Just one."

"Okay then."

He did let go one of my hand and said, "So what's next?"

I continued my story. "At first, I was having trouble at it but with a little help with my friends and my coach, I finally did it. When I already knew the basics, my coach let me enter into the figure skating."

"So you were a pro before?" Hiro asked.

"Yeah," I responded. "I can do those jumps, fancy footwork, and more."

I didn't even realize that he let go of my hand. The best part is that my Wobbly-Knees-Syndrome's already gone!

"Wow," he commented. "I wish I was you."

I smiled. "Well, you never know what you can do unless you try."

"Agreed," he looked at me then at the path that we're taking. "Race you to the end?"

I smirked. "Game on."

I picked up some speed and Hiro did, too. I was already 2 meters ahead of him.

"Is that the best you've got?" he challenged me.

"Ha!" I exclaimed. "That's the last thing on my mind!"

I can already see the end and I went even faster. When I was already one meter from there I stopped because I don't to get hurt.

"Hey," I called to Hiro. "Stop!"

But I guess he didn't hear me. He just kept going and was skating to me. He quickly stopped but he can't because of the speed. And because of that, he bumped me and we slid right in the middle of the snow-covered area. Now, we're completely covered with snow.

We popped out of the snow like daises. Now, I feel like I have a frostbite.

The gang crowded to us. "Are you two okay?" Honey Lemon asked us.

"That was..." I started.

"Sick!" Hiro finished my sentence. "Let's do it again!"

"Uh-huh," Tadashi muttered. "Next time, do it in a friendly matter."

Hiro got off the heap of snow and helped me. "Thank you," I said. I turned around and saw trees. But not just any trees. They were frozen willow trees. I went there and run a hand on it.

"It sounded like wind chimes," I complimented.

"This is where we usually go every second week of winter," explained Wasabi.

"So glad you came to see them, huh?" Honey Lemon asked me.

"Yeah, it's beautiful," I commented.

Just then, I heard someone threw a snowball. I scanned everyone to see who it was. I saw Hiro with ball, same goes with Tadashi.

"We haven't finished the fight yet, bro," he called to his brother. "And I will beat you this time."

"You're on!" Tadashi told his brother, accepting the challenge.

"Hey," Fred called. "I want to join."

"Me too," said Wasabi.

Such childish memories. They started building a fort and formed snowballs. I smiled to them, remembering those things with my old friends. It was sure fun.

Hiro saw Honey Lemon and I standing and watching them. "You coming?" I shook my head no. He beamed at me and continued building the fort.

As for Honey, she took pictures of them. Now that I really know him, I think this is time I should tell a girlfriend first.

"Uh, Honey," I called for Honey's attention.

"Hey, Gogo," she said. "What do you want?"

I sighed. "Can I talk to you about something? Alone please?"

"Private or public?" she asked.

"Very private," I replied.

She grabbed my hand and went away from the fight. We sat down and she asked me, "So what is it that you want to talk about?"
