Feeling a little more sure of her balance, she tried swerving side to side a bit, careful not to hit the others on the ice, but finally resumed a simple line and found a comfortable gliding speed. Ahhh...this was definitely a stress reliever.
Emmy grabbed her skates, and fingers shaking from the cold, laced them up.
Hurriedly, she put her gloves back on and breathed on her poor frozen hands.
Wobbling slightly, but luckily not falling over, she took a few tentative steps out onto the ice.
What a fabulous feeling it was, to be out there, gliding across the surface of the lake - she'd forgotten, it was so long since she'd skated...
Unfortunately, she wasn't watching where she was going.
SPLAT!!!!
Next thing she knew, she was lying on the ice next to another puff girl.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you! Are you ok?" she shuftied over to make sure the girl wasn't hurt.
