A/N: I was original going to do Frazel, but oh well. Next chapter? Also, I need ideas! What do you guys want to happen? Oh, and please review. That would be amazing! :D
"I'm hungry." Natalie said.
Her mother sighed. "Dinner will be ready soon, Natalie."
"Can we go sledding?" she asked.
"Fine. But just sled in the backyard. No going to the big hill.
The big hill was the hill near the Junior High. It was at least seven hundred feet long, and, according to Ella, "The best hill in the world." The hill outside Natalie's house was fifty feet long, and not very steep.
Natalie grabbed her sister, Ella, who was planting flowers. In a box in the living room. Not the most ideal place, but whatever. Ella didn't look happy to be pulled away from her precious flowers.
"I was growing them." she whined.
"You're always growing flowers. Honestly, how many flowers do you need?" Natalie grumbled.
"A lot." said Ella, escaping her sister, and running back to her flowers.
"Sledding." bribed Natalie. Ella turned to look at her.
"I improved our sled." Natalie hinted.
"What can it do?" Ella asked suspiciously.
"It can go really fast, and it can float a little. Well, sort of."
Ella ran to get her boots.
They quickly put on their winter gear, and walked outside with the new sled in hand, of course.
The snow was like thousands of tiny little crystals sparkling in the sun. It seemed so perfect. All the better to sled in.
Natalie helped her sister put on her seat buckle. And they were off. It was perfect. Just the right speed, and the ride wasn't to bumpy. She was going to have to replace the seatbelts, Natalie noticed. Too uncomfortable. And a snack bar would be nice.
Sadly, the ride lasted only about two seconds.
"Again!" Ella yelled gleefully.
Ella and Natalie went again. And again. And again. Well, you get the idea. Quite a few times.
Until Natalie came up with an idea.
"Let's go off the roof!" Natalie suggested.
Ella shook her head.
"No." she said. "Too scary. And how will we get up there?"
Natalie shrugged. "We can get a ladder."
"We'll get in trouble."
"It'll be fun. Come on, Ella."
Ella sighed and helped her sister get a ladder.
Natalie positioned a ladder on the roof, just right, and climbed up with the sled.
"Come on, Ella!" she yelled. Ella shook her head. No. Too high.
Finally, Natalie, quite frustrated, walked all the way down, grabbed her sister, and climbed back up. Ella stuck out her tongue.
Natalie positioned the sled, and sat down. She beckoned for Ella, who reluctantly sat down.
Suddenly, their mother appeared.
"Natalie Valdez!" she yelled. "What do you think you're doing?"
Oops.
"Nothing, Mom." she yelled back. "Just sledding."
"Come down this instant!" Calypso said. Then realizing what she said, added, "By the ladder I mean."
But it was too late. Natalie was already sliding down the roof at full speed. Hopefully, the sled would glide how it was supposed to, and not fall straight down. Hopefully. If not, she would be seriously hurt, and die.
Upon hitting the air, the sled mysteriously turned upside down. Ella screamed. Calypso screamed. And Natalie also screamed, even she didn't admit it afterward.
The sled started to plummet to earth. Natalie closed her eyes and braced herself for the worst. She counted the seconds. Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four. Wait a minute- why hadn't they fallen yet?
Natalie opened her eyes. She was hanging in mid air from her seat belt. Upside down. From a sled.
Now that was a difficult problem. How does one get down from a sled in mid air?
Suddenly, her father appeared next to her on Festus, and helped her and Ella get down. He grabbed the sled.
"Thanks." she managed to say before fainting.

She woke up in her own room, in her own bed, with her mother feeding her ambrosia. Her father stood next to her bed.
"Now what did we learn from this?" Calypso asked.
"Planting flowers is a good idea?" asked Ella from the other side of the room. Her mother smiled.
"Not exactly, Eleanor. How about not going sledding of the roof?"
Natalie took one look at Leo, and started to laugh.
