Everyone sat shocked as they stared at the tickets. They were either excited or confused. Finally charlie spoke up.

"Seriously?! How?! There isn't any ice skating rinks in hell!" Grinning from ear to ear you let out a laugh.

"That was until I pulled a few strings!~" the demon heirs eyes light up like fire works as she stumbles over and hugs you tight.

"Thank you!"

"You are welcome, my dear," kissing her forehead you wipe a tear from her cheek. "The night sky is on its way, and clear waters filled with beautiful wild life is just a bonus," Charlie's face tugged on your heart strings as she hugged you again.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," she mumbles into your shoulder.

"You are very welcome..." looking back into her puffy eyes you sigh. "Now, shall we be on our way?"

"We don't have any winter clothing," Husk narrows his eyes.

"Ah, not for long," standing up you summon your cane and bang it against the floor board three times, a cloud of smokes engulfs the group and soon everyone was in winter outfits.

"Oh my!" Niffty wore a thicker version of her dress, red gloves, a scarf and ear muffs. Angel had a hot pink furry coat and furry boots with matching gloves and scarf. Husk had a scarf and thick wooly pants on. Charlie had a red coat on with maroon stockings and a red beret. Vaggie had on a grey fur coat, a pink skirt and stockings along with grey ear muffs. Alastor had a red turtle neck and red and black fur coat which resembled his normal coat.

"Voila!" They all admired the craftsmanship. "Oh I nearly forgot," with the bang of your cane you now wore a lilac scarf and your stockings replaced with fuzzy boots. "Shall we be on our way?"

Everyone had custom skates which you also provided. Thought there were skates for customers when you open this place to the public but you wanted this experience to be extra special. Making your way to the rink you turn back to the group who were wobbling all over the place in their skates.

"Right, if you need a drink there is a bar over there," you point to a concession bar where a bored looking demon sat. "And the only rule there is, other than no violence, is have fun!" Opening the rink door you step inside and get used to the ice before skating off gracefully.

"How the fuck?" Husk looks down at his skates as Niffty drags him off to the ice. The two of them struggled but soon got the hang of it. Angel adapted to the ice quicker than the others while Vaggie and Charlie took it slow considering it was Charlie's first time on ice. Using your voodoo you conjure judges at the stands with number cards.

"Breathe..." you mumble to yourself. As a child you always went skating as often as possible, you even considered it a career at one point, dancing for the public and showing off your skill. Eventually you settled with voodoo so now you kept these skills at the back of your mind. Backing up you pick up speed and jump in the air.

"Go toots!" Angel shouts as you land and skate in a circle. The judges hold up three 7's.

"Seriously?" They all nod. "Fine," starting to skate backwards you gracefully move your arms across your chest and out before jumping and performing a triple Lutz. Landing gracefully you spin and approach the judges who hold up three 9's. "Damn right that was a nine," skating away Angel skates up to you.

"I learn more and more about you, toots," giving a short curtsy you circle Angel who laughs. "Looks like smiles needs your help," Angel nods to Alastor who was clinging onto the ledge, smile wobbling slightly as his eyes kept on the ice. He looked like a new born fawn trying to walk.

"Apparently so," skating away from the spider you stop in front of Alastor who jumps slightly. "I'm guessing you've never skated?"

"Is it that obvious?" He chuckles, his grip tightening when his legs shake.

"Maybe just a little," holding out your hand for the demon he eyes it. "Come on, don't you trust me?" He sighs and takes your hand. Slowly moving away from the ledge he refuses to let go of the edge. "You're going to have to let go," you say with a laugh.

"F-fine," letting his hand drop the ledge he immediately clings onto you a little too suddenly. You fall backwards, taking him with you. "I- I'm sorry, my dear," letting out a laugh you slowly help him off you. Now getting up he wraps his arm around you in hopes to save himself. Stifling a laugh you take his hands and settle them on your shoulders.

"Start by fixing your posture," you straighten you own back which he follows but drops it when he wobbled. "Come on," he nods and fixes his posture, staying like that. "Ok now, let's start by moving slowly,"

"Are you sure-" without warning you start to move backwards as his feet stayed in the same position, slowly moving apart.

"Seriously?" It was cute as his smile stayed on but his eyes spoke pure fear. As bad as that sounds. "Come on," he slowly fixed his position and stood up straight, grip on your shoulders tight.

"Better?" You nod and takes his hand off your shoulders and hold them tight in yours.

"Baby steps," you watch as he stomps his feet on the ice, slipping slightly. "Hey, it's ok, just follow me," you slowly move you feet which he follows. "There we go," after a bit of skating you notice his eyes were staying on his feet. "Look up," you lift his chin making his eyes meet yours.

"But-"

"You trust me don't you?" He nods. "Then it will be fine," giving a confident smile he nods again and keeps his eyes on you. "Next on the list," you let go of one of his hands which he protested to and tried to regrab.

"Wait," you give a 'do you trust me?' Look which makes him sigh and nod.

"There's still this hand," you hold up your connected hands. "Come on," you slowly moved with him by your side.
