Chapter 2 – White light
4 years later,
"Are your ready Emma for your big adventure to become an adult."
"Yes, Mom."
"Do you control the bike with 2 small wheels?"
"Yes, Mom," says Emma a little exasperated who already knew the result.
"Are you ready to make the bike without small wheels?"
"Yes", says Emma, very enthusiastic and impatient to start.
" It checks its protections: Headset"
" Put on the head and tied by touching the strap under her chin."
"Kneepads."
"Yes", she says by touching that of right.
"Elbow pads"
"Yes 2, by showing the 2 arms successively."
"Then you are ready and you can go there."
Emma leans upon on the pedals and her bike begins to move forward on its 2 wheels. During some minutes, all goes right. But, Emma approached the small soft slope not far from the home and there, the bike went more quickly and Emma panic a little. The result doesn't make wait and she lands on the slope straight.
Ingrid who noticed it runs towards her. But she smiles in herself because she had seen a white, fair light in front of Emma at the time when she fell.
"Honey, is what you belong be painful?"
"No", says Emma.
"No pain, nor wound, nor blood", asks Ingrid who looks at her attentively. "Nothing, just some crumpled clothes."
"Get up and Emma and makes work every member of your body and you look at her attentively."
After some instants when she notices every part of the body of her daughter, Ingrid asks:
"No pain, no tears and how goes this bike?"
Together, they observe the bike. Emma puts it upright. Then Ingrid takes it of the left hand and rolls the wheel before the right hand, and then just after done the same with the back wheel. The two wheels work well. No visible damage. It also resets the bike by earth and says to Emma:
"Go back up on your bike. Will you operate brakes? Does it work?"
"Yes, mum," says Emma of an exasperated voice.
"In view of your fall, I'm asked. The brakes must be used. You must always have hands on your brakes ready to brake to be able to stop very quickly. You forgot this rule and result, you fell. Happily, not of little scratches."
She continues after a small pause:
"As for the horse, you go back up to bike right away and you pedal. You stay within reach view and hands on the brakes. In any case, it is flat. Be careful to cars, you must always tell yourself that they have priority on you even if legally, it is you that have priority. With your bike, you weigh less than 30 kg and you are of flesh while cars are steel and make more than 500 kg."
Emma makes it and leaves very quickly by pedalling with all her forces and giving little attention to what there is around it. As usual, Emma is adventurous and respected enough little the instructions of his mother. But Ingrid knows well the genealogy of Emma as well as its future mission. She knows that she must form a tenacious warrior, not a housewife.
She also knows that she is going to have him learn horseback riding in starting with the pony, fencing, a martial art and teenager, the shooting, even the archery. Her mother, Snow White was as good as Robin Hood. She must achieve scholastic studies also. Vast program for Emma and for her mother Ingrid.
For her, she tells herself that she is perhaps going to construct an empire of ice cream. Her shop "Ice Princess" is brisk and some people come to sell door-to-door it to have shop franchises. The bigs companies of ice cream also come to buy back her shop or buy her recipes. She's going to have to think carefully about all that. Emma will perhaps need many more of what thought of essentials and of also in her plans. Some millions in bank make for it a lot.
