The Skating rink is cold (Like most rinks...)but there is a hot cocoa stand in the corner. Rink 1 is for open skate, and Rink 2 is for team members only.

Cari skated out onto rink two, ready to begin her practice. She first started with a sit spin, the a double toe loop, triple toeloop, double axel, sit back spin, leap then ended with a triple flip. (Its not a flip like in gymnastics, Its different.) "CARI! YOU HAVE TO HOLD BACK!! DONT ROTATE YOUR HEAD!" Cari rolled her eyes, doing her routine over and over.

Penninah didn't recognize the song they played at the rink, and didn't care. She went round and round with most of the skaters. Penninah did not look half bad on skates. She did not have to crash into the wall or wobble on her ankles. She could skate forwards, backwards, do crossovers and even make a few turns. Skating was like walking only better.
All the McLaren girls could ice skate. Elisheva, age nine, was a speed demon. Even little Dorcas in her double rudders went clomping over the ice, all sixty pounds of obese three year old. You couldn't take a three year old walking several miles for exercise, but she was happy to follow her older sisters for endless turns around the rink.

Cari did her routine one last time, before her coach let her have a break. She walked off the ice, and up to the refreshment counter. "One smoothie please." She said, and waited, notising Penninah, and waved to her.

((Oh you can't respond if you're not online....))
Penninah waved back just in time for little Dorcas who was not so little to crash into her sinding both girls down on their rears. Dorcas seemed unhurt. Like Penninah she had a lot of equanimity. It was Elisheva who was the sensitive one.
Penninah watched Dorcas go clomping off. The kid had great ankles and would make a fine skater in time. Penninah picked herself up. She wondered why she bruised even when she was well cushioned. Oh well, she started skating after Dorcas again and waving to Cari who was having some kind of drink at the snack stand.

((Im not an idiot.I Know that much at least) Cari sighed as her coach blew her whistle. "Lets go." She said to no one in pirticular, and she made her way to the rink. "CARI! NO MORE BREAKS!!!" Screamed her coach as she entered the arena. "Ok..." She replied. "I want to see 3 flying camels, a sit spin, a triple axel, a dbl toe loop, a triple shlowcow (AK! I cant spell it.)) immediately after. NOW GO." Said her coach, and off Cari went. She did her 3 flying camels, sit spin, triple axel, dbl toe loop, and a triple shlowcow immediately after.......almost perfectly. After the toe loop she fell, but, like all great athletes, she got back up and did it again, again, again....until it was perfect.

"Twenty dollars, now," Alice stood by the ice next to Rosalie, both in ice skates by rink 1. "If I give you the money, you'll run out of here and go into hiding for the next few days," Rosalie took out the twenty, handing it to Edward, who was standing behind them, "he holds the money, you get it after you try skating. You liked skating before, but couldn't skate, so I'll help you." Edward sighed some, putting the money in his pocket. He had no intentions of skating, just watching, and giving them a ride home. "Fine" Alice sighed, getting onto the ice, Rosalie following her. Rosalie quickly grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her into the middle of the rink, "stay there, people aren't skating in the middle..." "Great..." Alice muttered "I'm going to fall" "You know how to go forwards, and backwards I just want to try teaching you a few tricks. It'll help you get exersize too..." Rosalie smiled "I do, when I used to kick soccer balls around at our old house" Alice mumbled. This was the most that the Cullen girls had talked in public for a long time, maybe because there weren't many people. Edward sat down, looking at the rink, watching Alice and Rosalie. Rosalie sighs "here, and easy one, and upright spin. Depending on how you do, I might try to help you with a sit spin. Since you can't spin on ice unless your falling" she glanced around to make certain nobody was around before doing a simple upright spin. "No" Alice looked at her "I can't" "Thirty dollars...." "Fine..." Alice sighed, spinning and stopping, almost slipping, but caughter her balance before she had. "Good, be right back," Rosalie skated to the edge of the ice then motioned for Edward. He sighed, standing up and walking to her as she handed him ten more dollars, already knowing what it was for, he put it in his pocket with the twenty and went back to sit down as Rosalie went back to help Alice.

"BREAK!!!" Yelled her coach. Cari walked over to rink one, looking at the skaters. She stepped onto the ice, and up to Rosalie. "Your paying her to skate?" She asked.
