Colby slumped forward slightly as he tried to steady himself on the ice as he'd done for the last twenty or so minutes. He'd always been great at skating or anything to do with skateboarding but he was completely out of his element when it came to ice skating. He'd never once felt the need to try so it was completely new to him. The soreness he'd gotten from falling so much was enough to prove that he could only guess that they'd turn into bruises mottling his skin soon. His eyes seemed to almost glow a light blue with the determination that lay within his eyes. Before long he'd managed to skate a little ways away without falling but before he could even begin to feel proud of himself he found himself hitting the cold ice.

''Dammit Sam,'' He huffed while blowing a strand of his hair out of his eyes. '' How do you make it look so easy?''

And it was true the older man was significantly better than he was at this. He couldn't help but be a little envious of the smirking sunshine blond. Sam still of course fell as well just not nearly as many times as he had. His best friend seemed to possess a natural gracefulness that he himself lacked. Honestly, the dark clothing didn't quite match the feeling that Sam's skating gave off either.

'' It's called not being a klutz Colby'' He heard Elton snicker from across the ice.

He only rolled his eyes playfully before picking himself up off of the ice. It took a couple of tries to get his balance but once he was up he steadied himself. He dusted off his soft oversized hoodie before messing with the black rose design on the hoodie.

'' Whatever you say, Uncle Elton,'' he joked '' Let's just film this video I think I've fallen enough.''

Laughter followed suit before Sam had skated over to take place beside him. While Elton directed the camera towards where the two of them stood.

''You ready?'' The eldest asked at his nod the dark-haired man began filming.

''What's up guys it's Colby Brock welcome back to my channel!''He clapped his hands as he talked only to find that it made keeping himself steady difficult. ''I know times are hard lately but hey at least this video is out.'' He locked eyes with the blond before the other spoke.

''We can still be here for you all because we're Youtubers.'' The blonde remarked.

'' But yeah these are insane and crazy times so-'' He paused as he waited for Sam to finish his statement. They'd always finished one another's sentences.

''We're here to hopefully make them happier!'' Sam said happily making him laugh as well revealing his dimples.

''By doing the Figure Skating Challenge!''

After filming the intro he explained the challenge with the help of Sam. While smirking the whole time as he faced the camera Elton had faced towards him. He could tell that the man was most likely zooming in on his face or doing something similar to that just by the amusement perched on the bearded man's face. Soon after they'd finished explaining as he spoke.

''Okay first move!'' He staggered out of the frame on his ice skates as he planned to edit a transition. He queued for Elton to stop filming momentarily.

Elton seemed to get the message and stopped filming while he showed Sam a video of the first figure skating move they had to do.

''A double-double spin,'' He murmured off to the wide-eyed blonde, '' That looks hard.''

It was harder than he could've prepared for once he had Elton start filming again. He'd fallen more times than he could count and none too lightly either. His gray rose engraved hoodie and white distressed jeans had been scuffed up in the process. By the 4th attempt, he'd finally managed to not fall and made a clumsy attempt at the double-double spin. Although he didn't care that it wasn't anymore near what it was supposed to look like. He hadn't fallen for once and that was good enough for him.
