"Hey, um, Sawyer...this is Zanna. I was just wondering if you wanted to go ice skating with me. In...well, fifteen minutes. So. Call me back, or just show up. Bye."
That'd been twenty minutes ago. Now, Zanna pulled into the parking lot of the ice-skating rink, tugging a beanie onto her head and switching the car off. Yes, she'd actually decided to drive today--when she was cold after skating, she could come warm herself up in the car. Good idea, right? Well, of course.
For a couple of minutes, Zanna sat still in the car, fiddling with her hat, her gloves, and the hoodie she'd brought to wear. She also wondered if Sawyer was going to show up--she hadn't replied to the call. But it had been really short notice. Zanna'd understand if she didn't come. It sure would be nice if she did, though. She needed more friends. And one of the female gender would probably be good as well.
Oh, yes, and her clothing. Her shirt was a plain and boring teal color with a picture of those two siamese cats that sang the song. The "We are siamese, if you please," song. The ones from The Lady and The Tramp. Her pants were plain and gray, with red stitching and a belt looped through the belt loops. Guess which one it was? The lime green one. SHe knew it didn't match too well, but she felt like wearing it. And her hoodie was white and had a unicorn on it as well as the words "Senses Fail." [/size][/color] "Shit. I'm gonna be late." The words came from Sawyer's mouth, as she pulled her own car into the parking lot. She knew it wasn't too big of a deal that she was late--plus, it was only ten minutes or so--but she was still mad at herself. Sawyer was never late--ever. So why today? Oh well. She was here now. Good enough, right?
Going to the skating rink, Sawyer was bundled up today. A long sleeved light blue shirt beneath a pale green shirt with random orange hearts sprinkled across it. Above that was an oversized gray hoodie--plain. She'd decided to wear jeans that day, as well. They were of the light-wash type, and had been fraying at the bottom. And her gloves--they were the same ones as always.
Wasn't that Zanna getting out of her car? Sawyer was pretty sure it was. Pulling her own gloves on, she quickly stepped from the car and raced forward. "Hey, Zan. What's up?" [/size][/color] "Sawyer! Hey. Let's get inside," said Zanna, opening the door and holding it until Sawyer, and this other guy she didn't know entered the rink. "I didn't think you'd be able to make it." [/size][/color] "Well...I did. I was just sitting at home being bored, so I decided to come. I suck at skating, but...I guess practice helps that," she said, chuckling. "Anyway, skating time." [/size][/color]

Olivia walked by the ice rink, holding Clo's turquoise leash. The small dog was yapping and trying to run, but the string that held kept her tied down. She saw her a squirrel and her big eyes lit up, as she barked once again.
"Damn. You sure are noisy today." Olivia told the dog, smiling as she went and sat down on one of the random benches of the icerink. She didn't really skate.
She watched the people gliding on the ice, wondering how they could do it so well. The one time she'd stepped on the ice, because Ophelia begged her, she'd fallen flat on her ass after five seconds. And kept on falling for a good ten minutes before giving up.
The brunette was wearing a Santa Claus hat, which was very good at keeping her warm. A shor black peacoat was over her clothes, hiding her grey shirt. You could her dark blue jeans though, and the black, high-heeled, knee-high boots that covered them. She pet the small dog who'd finally sat down, but who was still twitching excitedly.
Odd.

Ashton ran ahead of Antony and into the ice skating place. Yeah he had dragged Antony here agaisnt his will. The younger of the two was dressed in a long sleved black shirt with a black hoodie over it. Nothing special both were plain nothing on them. Because well, everything else had been dirty. On his legs were a pair of cargo pants, tan in color and held up with a brown belt. Nothing special. Unlike Anthony that wore a pair of cargo pants, black in color and a lime green shirt. Under that was a hot pink longsleeve shirt with a lime green belt holding up the pants. Over the shirts was a black hoodie with a heart on the back half hot pink and half lime green. Over that, he had on a beanie a black one with stars dancing across it.
Ashton had a new hair cut now. It was white with a really light blue. It still had the same cut to it, just different colors. Over his new hair was the same beanie as Anthony. Last but not least both had a pair of gloves. Anthony's were white and Ashton's were lime green. Nothing out of the ordnary for the two boy's, except the fact that Antony looked like he was still asleep.

"So what's up with you today?" Zanna asked, not meaning that there was something different or strange about her that day. She was simply asking what the brunette had been doing and was planning on doing during the course of the day. After the small line diminshed, it left Zanna in the front. "I've got my own skates, so just the two-hour session," she said, handing the person ten-dollars and walking to a chair not far away to sit down and put her ice skates down. [/size][/color] After having paid for herself, Sawyer sat down next to Zanna and took off her flats, then slipped on a pair of more padded socks and her ice-skates. "Nothing, really. I was just going to mess around on the internet, watch some TV, and go for a jog later on tonight. What about you?" she asked, returning the question at the same time she finished tying her skates up. [/size][/color] Standing up, both girls made their way to the ice, after having dropped their other things on the ground and putting on anything else they needed to be wearing. [/size][/color] "Pretty much the same, actually. Minus the jogging, though. I was thinking about seeing if there's any Yoga places--my mom told me it's great for relaxing." [/size][/color]

After paying for himself and for Antony incase he decided to get on the ice Ashton walked back over to where Antony was mentally cursing him out. "Oh come on, don't give me that look."Ashton said giving him a weak smile and putting on his iceskates. "You didn't have to come."Ashton added
"And if you got in a fight again?"Antony mummbled rubbing his eyes then yawning. "What would you do?"He asked again

"But uncle Chrisss. I wunna skate," the little girl whined in her adorable little lisp, looking up at him with big, violet eyes. They were really pretty actually, shimmering with random silver streaks, framed by thick, long lashes. And Lord, did the girl use them to her advantage.
"Don't you want some hot chocolate first?" Chris asked her from his position on the bench, absently watching as she removed her sneakers. His brother Kent was in town, and while he was out doing something or another, Chris had decided to watch the five year old for him. Big mistake really, as she'd made him bring her to the ice rink, and expected them to do some skating as well. Did he look like he knew how to skate? Jeeze.
"Nooo thanks. Skate," Kendra grinned, putting her feet out to him so he could place them in skates. Pushing her raven curls off her shoulders, and adjusting the lavender warm cap on her head, she patiently waited for him to get through.
Seeing as there was no way he was going to get out of this, Chris decided that this one time he could live with making an ass out of himself. Of course she knew how to skate, but he was a complete dunce when it came to this. He'd just look completely awkward on the ice, no doubt. He was dressed in dark wash jeans, and a thick grey long-sleeved shirt beneath a dark camel brown jacket. All about comfort, as usual. Curiously eyeing the skates he'd rented, he delayed putting them on as long as he could, weighing the options. If he broke his leg, then he'd have an excuse not to go to work. He needed the break. But then he wouldn't be able to do anything fun for a long time. Ugh.
Glancing over at his neice once again through blue-grey eyes, he sighed inwardly. There was no way he'd let her get on the ice by herself, and he couldn't tell her 'no' either. He loved kids, and since he didn't have his own, he liked spoiling the ones he did encounter. Smiling back at her as she gave him another one of her toothy grins, he picked up his skates, and began the process of securing them on his feet. [/color][/center]

"That girl," Zanna said, pointing to the brunette who had recently entered the building. "She looks like Ophelia. Do you know Ophelia?" she asked, glancing over at Sawyer, whom she realized had been skating very slowly. Ah, yes, she remembered--she'd said she wasn't a very good skater. Pausing to wait for her, Zanna wondered if she felt like doing anything other than just regular skating today. You know, like try out some of the stuff she knew. Some of the stuff she'd learned. [/size][/color] "Well, not personally, but I've seen her around. That girl does look like her. Does she have a sister?" Sawyer asked. She wasn't one to know much about people, especially if she'd yet to meet them. "A twin, perhaps?" she added. People didn't generally look that much alike for fun. [/size][/color]

Ashton made his way to the ice. He was an okay skater. He wasn't great but he didn't fall and hurt himself. He didn't go slow either he moved fast, or fast enough to not look knew. As soon as he rounded to where Antony was he slid to a stop and grabed the edge. "Antony, come join me!"He whined with a small smile on his face. Antony yawned "In a minute, let me wake up fully."He said just so Ash could hear.

Ophelia pet her sister's dog, not noticing Zanna and her friend wondering if she was Ophe's twin or not. Just like her sister, she could get into her own little mind sometimes and forget about the real world.
Sighing softly, she glanced around. The brunette tilted her head as she saw two familiar boys come in. Anthony and Ashton. Unlike her sister, she didn't run down and greet them. She just stayed put. She then saw this boy with a little girl. Awh. She sure was cute.
She wasn't one to go out and talk to people, well, she was, but sometimes she just.. wasn't. It was weird. She was like two different people in one. She could be like her sister at times - a tad more toned down of course - or very, very quiet.

"Hey, Antony!" Zanna said, seeing him across the rink and leaping a little bit. "And Ashton too," she added, just in case anyone around her was wondering. She doubted that anyone but Sawyer cared, but it was still good to let them know. What if they'd been wondering who those boys were? Zanna would have just helped them exponentially. Times four. [/size][/color] "Ay, ay, ay, it is, isn't it?" Sawyer said, not leaping. She simply continued to skate slowly because if she tried lifting a foot of the ground for more than five seconds...she'd end up cracking her head on the ice, and that wasn't really something she felt like doing. Not right now, anyway. [/size][/color] "I think she does have a twin, actually, now that you mention it," she replied, nodding and doing a twirly sort of move. "Let's say hi to someone," she added, not feeling like being completely unsociable the whole time they were here. That was definitely not something she planned on doing. [/size][/color]

Carefully getting to his feet, Chris made his way out unto the ice, though keeping a hold on the rail. Fuck. If humans were created to skate then they would have been born with feet that could change into ice-skates. Humph. Looking down at Kendra, who was making him look bad by moving backward in front of him, he crinkled his nose at her and playfully growled. Chuckling at her giggling squeal, he sobered up shortly after and took a deep breath. He could do this. No sweat. And if he fell...oh well. He didn't care what people thought, anyway.
"Come on uncle. I'll teach you," Kendra stated, putting her small hands out to him. And he better not fall on her...or, or...she'd cry. And then he'd feel bad, so staying upright was for his own good, of course. [/color][/center]

Antony got up and walked sheepishly over to Ashton and pushed him back. "Go skate. Be a show off!"Antony said grinning. Ashton chuckled and started skating again. He saw the two girls Sawyer and Zanna and skated over to them grinning. "Hey!"Ashton said waving shyly, haha, thats a lie waving his hand like a really insane person before stopping and looking at the guy with the little girl and smiling.

Sawyer looked up as she heard someone speaking to her. Someone, of course, other than Zanna, who'd been talking to her the whole time. Seeing Ashton approaching them, she smiled smally and waved her own arm, but only slightly. "Hey, there, Ash," she greeted, letting her arm fall limp to her side now. Well, sort of. It was angled out a little bit to help keep her steady. [/size][/color] "Ashton!" Zanna exclaimed, jumping and smiling. "Hiya. How are you?" she asked, slowing back down to a normal--no, wait, scratch that. She was slowing down to Sawyer's pace, which wasn't exactly normal. It was more on the slow side, actually. [/size][/color]

"Hey Sawyer, hey Zanna, I'm good, how about you two?"He asked skateing in front of them then turning around and grinning. He matched their pace moving his upper body to the song him and Anthony had been singing to ealier. It was a song of Kingdom Hearts both games Simple And Clean. Most people couldn't reach the high notes that were played but the two of them could. If only barely on Ashton's part. "I dyed my hair new colors."Ashton said nodding and pulling off his hat to show the white and light blue spikes of hair covering his eyes.

Olivia noticed Ashton's new hair color, which made her grin since it seemed so bright and.. happy. Hah. Hair could be happy now?
"C'mon girl, let's go for a walk." she said, getting up. The dog's leash was on her hand, which she hid inside her pockets. She walked down the bench, with the dog jumping down in the snow. Clover pranced daintily by, as Olivia walked around the rink.
