Maddy shook her head, a sweet smile on her face. She got to work and within a few moments his laces were perfect. She helped him with the other boot, working silently and making sure she was doing them up right. Finally she gave his leg a pat as she got up, smiling up at him. "There you are, kind Sir," she said in a mock English accent. "All done."

"Wow. You're master." Jane's wide eyes posed pure surprise. "Thank you, braveheart." he said in some accent, keeping his face innocently surprised.

Maddy gave a casual shrug but she was smiling from his compliments. "I have some friends in high up ice-skating places so they taught me well," she explained. To others it would have been a big deal, her friends, but she didn't view them differently. "And thank you. Now, can you get to the ice fine or do you need help with that too?" she added teasingly.

"Wow. You're really a masterpiece." he looked around. Well technically he had too but most of his high-up accomplices turned away because of his own behaviour.

"Well maybe I can do that myself." he said slowly getting up. That felt rather weird. Little differently than on roller-blades but more steadier. Probably because he wasn't rolling away on spot. "Doesn't seem too hard."

One step. Another. "Ok I'm ready to face ice." Jane grinned.

Maddy couldn't help but blush slightly when he called her that. "Thanks," she replied with a smile.

She giggled as she watched him test out the skates. Then she offered him her hand. "Shall we?" she asked, not wanting him to fall over and hurt himself as soon as he reached the ice.

"Sure my darling." Jane took her hand and they walked to ice, Patrick slightly wobbling on his unusual footing

The blush decorating her cheeks refused to leave. As he wobbled to the rink, Maddy put his arm around her shoulders to steady him. Getting to the ice, she went ahead of him then with a spin turned around so he was facing her. Taking his hands, she smiled as she looked into his eyes. "It's like roller-blading. The main thing is not to panic, not to worry and not be afraid," she told him, changing her grip so she held onto his wrists, so it was better support.

"Ookay." he said when finally he was standing on ice. With 'rollers' he was rolling away barely getting any footing. At least he wasn't going to roll down the whole street only to end up head-first into trash bin, though technically he just flew into it, knocking it off and making huge mess.

"Like roller-blading." he made first slide. "Not to panic, not to panic." he sung his new mantra.

Maddy smiled, her eyes glittering. "Well done, hun. That's it, don't panic. I won't let you crash or fall," she reassured him. He looked so adorable when he wasn't sure of something, when he did something he wasn't confident in. "You're doing good. Let me know when you want me to let you go," she told him, slowly skating backwards, still holding onto him.

As she finished putting her skates on, Ava sighed and a passed a hand through her hair. "I guess I'm ready," she muttered. Actually, she was not ready at all. She was scared about many things, but what could she refuse to her friends?...

He smiled at Maddy and slowly got the feeling of skating.

"Well if you'd seen me rolling down the street on 'rollers' or how I landed in trash bin. I so hope Mich doesn't have it on camera." Patrick almost whined.

"Ok I think I'm getting it." he still had his new mantra playing in mind but now seemed he's gonna do it.

She giggled. "You'd better hope not. Otherwise it'd be the next Youtube sensation. And I don't think that's the kind of publicity you're after," she teased.
She smiled. "Great. You're doing awesome."

"Depends on what Michi has in her freaky mind." oh how he actually hoped not to become new Youtube star.

"Thanks. Trying as best." he smiled and tried to slide bit faster and steadier.

"You could always try bribe her," Maddy suggested. "Y'know, get her a puppy or something to keep her quiet," she joked.

As he became more steadier, Maddy let go of one of his arms, skating over so she was beside him. She held onto the other arm. Firstly, she didn't want him to fall or crash, and secondly, she was enjoying being this close to him. Not that she'd actually admit it.

"Ok princess. Ready to hit the ice?" Ryan teased eager to just pick her up on his arms

"Well Wolfie bit tiptoeing with dogs. But Ali always says I'm her pet. Guess that I've been Michi's pet ever since that girl just simply curled up on my sofa besides me and didn't even bothered to ask permission." Patrick said. Yeah sometimes the energetic girl acted without permission, just like he.

Now when he got more steadier on his skates and got the feeling of skating it seemed so easy.

Ava looked up at Ryan with a smile plastered on her face, probably blushing as he called her that. "I guess..." she said with a slight shrug, raising her eyebrows the slightest bit. Again, she was not. But there was nothing she could do.

"Come on, I'll carry you all the time if needed. I want everyone happy-go-lucky today. We came here to have fun and my sissy made sure we all are safe and sound." Ryan said with a grin. He noticed that Ava was reluctant to get on ice and frankly he felt that way too just moments ago. Not because of his shoulder but because of his so-called-girlfriend. Now he really didn't know that there was any love left towards Sasha. He'd kinda lost that feeling ages ago after her yet another 'episode'. Only one he shared his love for was the kids, though he didn't felt that his son will ever really know his daddy like Kaya had.

Ava smiled up at him, nodding slightly. She took a deep breath before getting up from the bench and passing another hand through her hair. "Okay then," she said, looking at him. "But don't you dare to leave me alone; I'll freak out," she told him seriously, raising her eyebrows to show him that what she said was actually true.

"Well, if you're her pet, we need to get you a pair of cute ears and a tail," Maddy said in mock seriousness before breaking out into a grin. Yes, from what she knew about Michi, her turning up uninvited on his sofa was exactly something she'd do. "Well, she's seeing as our Michi's still alive, seems that you didn't kill her for touching your precious sofa," she added with a chuckle, though even to her ears the comment sounded lame.

Mich happily watched as Ryan and Ava went to ice. Then she glanced at twins who now were having fun with Ali doing simple tricks and Sammy just skating, since she couldn't do tricks.

Patrick and Maddy seemed chatting away.
From what she managed to read from their lips they, of course, were talking about her.

So without any more contemplation girl danced on ice and did her own jumps and other figure skating tricks

"Aha and feed me with cream cakes" Patrick added with straight face. Then he broke out laughing at the vivid image of him having ears and tail. Yeah really cute pet.

"Ah she's special. First person to just sit beside me and start occasional ramble. Cho and Rigsby even placed bets for how long it'll take me to shoo her away. Obviously they hadn't noticed girl had put some surprises in their drawers. But actually I was surprised how easy she took me. Usually people get offended by my comments but she just laughed and put her own remarks against. Guess who won the bets?" Jane grinned. Yeah the little 'pet master' hadn't let the cat eat her tongue

As they both stepped on the ice, Ava took a hold of Ryan's hands. She was not kidding, she actually needed help with that. Well, at least in the beginning, until she was going to get used to the conditions. She glanced over to Patrick and Maddy and couldn't help a smile. The two of them actually looked cute together, but she couldn't understand if there was something between them yet or not.

"Just relax." Ryan said holding her and sliding slowly around the rink

Ava took a deep breath, tightly grasping both his hands. "I can't really do that, you know..." she said in a kind of shaky voice. Yes, this was a silly fear, but it had been one of her biggest since she was just a kid.
