Sky's First Christmas

Chapter 4

Chapter 4 - Winter Wonderland

Sky's POV

"Hello Sky." Luke said.

"Hi Luke."

"It's really good to finally meet you."

"Yeah. Same here."

Everyone was standing in the back. They probably wanted to see my reaction to meeting Luke. They all came forward.

"So, I'm going to take you out for lunch then I'm going to take everyone to this winter wonderland place that Sky has been talking about as a treat."

"Ooh thanks Mum." Luke responded.

She took Luke out for lunch, leaving me, Rani and Clyde behind. She bought us a Chinese for lunch. Mum was out for a while. We started to decorate the house for Christmas. After we were done, Mum and Luke were just coming back.

"Look at this place! It's all Christmasy!" Mum pointed out.

"We haven't quite finished the tree." Clyde told her.

"Do you want me and Luke to finish it?" Mum suggested.

"If you want to." Rani said.

"I love Christmas." Luke added.

"You know my favourite thing about Christmas? The fact that families get together." Said Mum.

Luke agreed. Of course he would. I wanted to help Mum with the tree but Luke might not like it if I interrupted. He'd only been here a couple hours. He hadn't seen Mum for a couple months. I was living with Mum so I saw her everyday. Time was getting on so I went to get ready for winter wonderland. I put on my Christmas jumper that Mum bought me and then Rani helped me do my makeup. I was ok at it, but Rani was better. Rani wore some snowflake earrings. I didn't have my ears pierced so I couldn't wear any but she lent me a snowflake necklace. I did my hair by putting it up in a ponytail. Me and Rani went downstairs. Clyde was with Luke and they were ready to go. They looked like they'd been ready for a while.

"You ready to go ice skating?" Clyde asked.

"Yeah. I've never been before but I'm excited." I responded.

"You can just hold onto the side of you want to." Clyde told me.

"I think I might. I also think I might slip." I giggled.

"Don't worry if you do. I slipped my first time." Rani said.

Mum came downstairs last. She got all her things together then she grabbed her bag, and we left. Mum hadn't noticed that I was wearing makeup or a snowflake necklace. She was too interested in Luke. I didn't say anything because she hadn't seen him in a while. I stayed silent the whole trip there. Once we got to winter wonderland, Mum took us to the ice skating part. Winter wonderland looked cool in the dark. I saw some rides. There was one which was a really high tower with a drop. I was NOT going on that. Mum had booked us a skating session so we went over and got our skates. I hadn't even got on the ice and I already felt like I was going to fall. Once they announced that we were allowed on the ice, Rani helped me. It was extremely hard at first but then it stared getting better. After Rani checked that it was ok that I'd be fine on my own, she went skating around the middle. I don't know how she could do it. Clyde was finding it hard to skate properly so he was on the side and he came to me.

"Have you slipped yet Sparky?"

"No, but I will, just you wait."

"Are you having fun?"

"Yeah. It's cool."

"Ok, I'll be off. I think I'm getting the hang of it."

Luke came past. He was really good at it. He didn't say anything to me. I don't know how anyone could do it. Mum was on the outside with a tea. I don't think she wanted to go on the ice and slip then make a fool of herself. I didn't blame her. I stopped when I skated past her.
