The afternoon sun's rays on a clear Monday day shined down brightly in Skyland. It was a most peaceful day.

"HEART FREEZE! WHERE ARE YOU?!"

…almost peaceful.

"HEART FREEZE! HEART FREEZE!"

Closets were being thrown open, cupboard doors got ripped off their hinges, and unfortunate furniture was being picked up and thrown aside. And unfortunately for Wash Buckler, his face got well acquainted with a cupboard door as he came into the room.

"NREAT NEANULS!" He shouted, holding his face in pain.

"What's going on?" Spy Rise eyed his leader as he came in. And only after three seconds of saying those words, a chair was bouncing off his head. "GEARS AND WIRES!"

Trap Shadow, who was leaning against the doorway and there when both swappers got hit, burst out laughing, ducking below before a tossed away lamp could hit him while still chuckling.

"IT'S NOT FUNNY!" The two swappers shouted, a bit off in Wash Buckler's case.

"It sure is!" Trap Shadow grinned, ducking again to avoid a sofa flying overhead. "This day might turn out alright."

"Alright for you, but what about Night Shift?"

The three looked over at the boxing champion, who was tearing up the room in a frantic search for something. Or possibly, someone.

"Nf ne neeps nis np, nhe nhole niving noom nill ne none."

"…What?"

"He said that we should stop Night Shift from tearing up the room."

"Oh. Well that should be easy as getting Freeze Blade to take off his mask."

"Trap Shadow." Spy Rise gritted his teeth at his friend. Did he not notice the urgency in stopping Night shift before he tore down Woodburrow in his frantic search?

"What I'm just pointing out the obvious." He shrugged, getting down on the floor along with Wash Buckler and Spy Rise as they dodged get hit by a trophy cabinet, which went flying over them and hit the passing by Bouncer square in the chest. "Besides, the only real way to stop him is if he knows where Heart Freeze is."

"Well that's a problem then." Spy Rise dusted his arms as he picked himself off the ground. "Because we don't know where that girl is."

Trap Shadow snorted.

"And what's so funny now?"

"I know exactly where the little kitten is."

"VAMPIRE!" Night Shift shouted as he teleported beside Trap Shadow, startling the three. "She is a vampire and you know it!"

"Vampire? Well excuse my mistake oh Night Shift. But last I checked, I was very sure she was more feline than vampire." Trap Shadow grinned, mocking Night Shift who was glaring fire at the tiger.

"Bah! Just because she finds chasing a dot of light is fun, does not make her more like a cat! She's more vampire."

"Cat."

"Vampire."

"Cat."

Vampire!"

"Alright, alright, break it up you two. This room is already a mess." Wash Buckler pushed the two apart, getting between them. "Now Trap Shadow, would you please kindly tell us where Heart Freeze is?"

"At the park."

"…"

"…what? Why are you guys staring at me like that?"

"She's not alone…is she?"

"…"

'Trap Shadow. Someone is with her, right?"

"…"

"…please tell me you didn't leave her there alone."

"…do you want me to say that?"

"TRAP SHADOW!" Trap Shadow put both hands up, looking at each Skylander as they shouted at him.

"Of all the!" Spy Rise face palmed. "Why did you leave her alone?! She's only four—!"

"Three."

"Really?"

"YES!" Night Shift and Wash Buckler shouted at Spy Rise, who flinched and backed away.

"Look, Trap Shadow, you didn't leave her at the park alone a long time now, did you?" Wash Buckler rubbed his templets in irritation.

"No! I only left there about…an hour now I think."

"…AN HOUR?!" Night Shift screamed in Trap Shadow's face. "YOU LEFT HER THERE FOR AN HOUR?!"

"…I'm pretty sure it was an hour."

Night Shift stared at Trap Shadow, then his eye started to twitch, his body began to shake, furious growls emanated from his throat, his eyes narrowed and his face slowly turned dark red. Now Trap Shadow knew there were limits to Night Shift's breaking point that have many different danger levels. Few of which Freeze Blade had broken a couple times in the past. But he was certain that he had broken the big time breaking point.

"You." Night Shift hovered closer to Trap Shadow, bring up a boxing glove.

Trap Shadow, sensing there was going to be a storm so, backed away slowly, looking at Wash Buckler and Spy Rise for help. Unfortunately, he was not going to get that help as both swappers had ducked behind a fallen over coach for cover.

"You."

"Now Shift, let's not do anything we might regret later!" Trap Shadow raised both arms up, trying to have some guard against the enraged vampire boxer, though it would do no good.

"You."

"Come on Shift." His back meet the wall. "You wouldn't want to hurt a friend now would you?"

"YOU."

The two swappers peeked out from their cover spot, fear etched in their faces.

"YOU!"

By now Trap Shadow's heart was beating faster than an engine, his claws digging into the wall, fear escalating as Night Shift's shadow cloaked his whole being. This was not going to be good.

"YOU! LITTLE! UNFORGIVABLE! UNEXCUASEABLE!" Night Shift wound up his right fist, glaring at the tiger. He was going to make sure he knew pain. "LOW DOWN! HORRIBLE EXAMPLE OF—"

"Where's my daughter?"

Night Shift's boxing glove was inch away from Trap Shadow's muzzle. Now it was Night Shift's turn to turn pale.

"Night Shift, where's Heart Freeze?"

Slowly, Night Shift turned his head and looked over his shoulder. Pink glowing eyes were glaring at him, belonging to one Skylander everyone knew.

"I asked you a question Shift." Roller Brawl crossed her arms, tapping one skate blade. "Where's my little girl?"

"…" Night Shift glanced at Trap Shadow, then Roller Brawl, then at the tiger, then slowly back at the female vampire. "…Ask Trap Shadow!" He disappeared in a puff of mist, reappearing next to Wash Buckler.

Trap Shadow threw a death glare at his so called comrades.

"Trap."

His eyes snapped over to Roller Brawl, grinning weakly.

"Where is Heart Freeze?"

He swallowed. He had heard of how vampires were protective of their young, and had seen firsthand how scary Roller Brawl could be. And to sum it up, he knew very well that he was dead. Very dead. "Well…"

"BUUUUUUUUCK! HERE BUCK!"

Eyes snapped open. Head twisted around to the sight of a bridge as his name was called from there.

"BUUUUCK! COME ON! I GOT YOUR LUNCH!"

The duck quacked, flapping his wings as he swam at top speed towards the bridge. When he got there, he looked up, quacking nonstop.

"Okay! Okay!" Girlish giggles came from above. "You silly duck. Here you go!"

The duck quacked louder, happily nibbling on the bread pieces that were landing in the pond around him. The bread was coming from atop the bridge were a small, human like girl stood on her toes on the bridges railing, breaking bits a bread off and tossing them below to the duck.

Her skin was pale looking with a slight hint of a mixture of pink. A tiny bit of amethyst colored hair poked out over her right eye from underneath her white hand knit cap that covered her head. She wore a black shirt with pink flower petal designs printed on it with a matching black skirt with knee high black socks and strap on shoes.

"Here's the last of it!" She singed, tossing the last of the bread over the side. "I'll be back with more tomorrow." She giggled as the duck quacked up at her before snatching the last of the bread up and swam off.

"HEART FREEZE!"

A gasp escaped her mouth and snowy blue eyes went a bit bigger. She knew that voice anywhere. Twisting her head to the side, a little smile etched its way on to her face. Coming her way was a dark grey feline wearing sleeveless navy blue track suit with gold metal rings around his ankles and shoulders. He wore skates made interlay out of ice that was buckled to his feet. Ice covered his wrists to his elbows like gauntlets, and on his head slicked back like hair. His eyes were covered by a navy blue mask that concealed the true color of his eyes.

"Daddy!" Heart Freeze happily smiled as her father picked her off the railing and held her close to him.

"Heart Freeze what are doing here? Shouldn't you be at the academy with Night Shift?"

Heart Freeze only giggled, rubbing her face in his neck. "Daddy. Daddy daddy daddy."

"…" Her father sighed, shaking his head and smiling. "I don't ever get you my little mischief marker."

Heart Freeze giggled, hugging her father close to her.

"So, what brings you to the park? Is Night Sift around?" Her father asked, looking around the park for the familiar grump.

"Uncle Night Shift isn't here. He's at the acad…acad…acadne."

"Academy?"

"Yeah! The school!"

A nonvisible brow went up on the cats face. "If Night Shift is there, then why and how are you here?"

"Uncle Trap!"

Both nonvisible brows went up before he groaned. Oh he knew very well who uncle Trap was. "Sweaty?"

"Hmm?"

"Where's Trap Shadow?"

Heart Freeze shrugged, making an 'I don't know' humming sound. "I haven't seen him for a looooooooooooooong while now!"

"And why is that?"

"We're playing hide and go peek!"

"…hide and peek?"

"Yeah! Hide and go peek!" Her eyes shined brightly. "Uncle Trap said this game was very fun! And it is! I hide, and he finds! He hid a loooong while a go, and I can't find him." She made a pouting face. "And I don't like this game anymore."

"Neither do I."

"HEART FREEZE! HEART FREEZE SWEAT HEART WHERE ARE YOU?!"

The feline ears went up and his eyes widen. Quickly, he twisted his head to the sound of the source. Roller Brawl was skating at top speed around the park, frantically searching each area while calling out for her daughter.

"Brawl! Hey Brawl!"

"Mommy!"

It must have been pure luck she actually heard their voices. Instantly her eyes were on the bridge, sighing in relief when she saw Heart Freeze safe and sound in the arms of her father. "Heart Freeze!" She skated over to the bridge, happily receiving her small child that she was handed.

"Hi mommy!"

"So." The cat leaned against the rail, crossing his arms. "Do I want to be informed how long she was left alone this time?"

"Do you really want to know?" Roller Brawl hugged Heart Freeze close, nuzzling her head.

"Ten minutes? Twenty? Thirty?"

"An hour."

"A-a, AN HOUR?!"

"Freeze Blade, it's alright."

"Alright?! He left our little girl alone for an hour and you called that alright?!" His nostrils flared as he growled. "When I see him, I'll—!"

His sentence was cut short when Roller Brawls lips meet with his. Instantly, the anger melted away from his features and his body relaxed to her touch. Heart Freeze made a little cute ew sound and looked away while saying something about mommy and daddy kotises. Roller Brawl kept kissing him for a moment longer before pulling away, smiling to herself when she saw the love struck look on Freeze Blade's face.

"Better?"

"Mmm hm."

"Good." She turned and started to skate off the bridge, feeling Freeze Blade wrap an arm around her a moment later.

"By the way you're not let me go after him, I'd say you already got the pleasure in voicing your thoughts?"

She smiled, leaning her head against his shoulder. "You could say that."

Hear Freeze blinked, looking between her parents. Who were they talking about? And what did they mean that mommy got the pleasure in voicing her thoughts?

Night Shift, Wash Buckler, and Spy Rise stared at the broken Trap Shadow lying on the floor in a puddle of his own blood.

"Personally." Night Shift crossed his mist arms, grinning a bit. "I think you got just what you deserve."
