They were about half-way across the lake, Emily still trying to get faster until she realised 'How do I stop?'
She had not thought this through...
She was so close!
"Almost there Nika almost there." And she was just behind Emily. Only a hair away.
Now think Nika think. How to stop. HOW TO STOP!!! HURRY BEFORE YOU CRASH INTO SOMEONE" Her mind was yelling at her. She decided there was only one way that she could stop. They weren't to far from the other side. Nika thought this would be the best time to put her plan into action. She crossed her fingers as she fell onto her knees. Nika closed her eyes shut hoping that she would hurt herself. She opened one eye and it was working! Nika was successfully sliding across the ice.
"Now, this is how you get it done." "WOOOHOOOO!"
