This one shot will not have any mention of Bal like my others have. I have had a prompt to do some Christmas one shots using the timeline from my story Is Evil Born Or Made? So this will also be set during Christmas two years after the heroes adopt the villain children from the Isle. I decided to include the prompt from Gummybear1178 of 'ice skating'. Hope you guys like this x
Upon adopting Evie, Snow White had started a tradition that every Christmas Eve they would so something that was just them two as on Christmas day the seven dwarves, their wives and their children came to the castle. The castle was simply mayhem on Christmas day so Snow had started a bonding tradition that she hoped Evie would always want to participate in. She always allowed Evie to pick but this year her little sister had shocked her with her choice. This year Evie wanted to learn how to ice skate.
To say Snow White had been reluctant to agree would be a huge understatement. But one adorable pout on Evie's little face and the princess couldn't help but agree. The short haired princess found she could never say no to an Evie pout, a fact which Evie certainly used to her advantage sometimes.
This is why on Christmas Eve the two sisters were lacing their skater at the ice rink. Snow White was still nervous but the look of excitement on Evie's face made her at least attempt to push her worries to the back of her mind and try to enjoy the day. Looking over she saw Evie was struggling to lace her skates properly and not wanting her to from Snow White quickly knelt and tied them as tightly as possible. Doing this only served to make the elder sister more nervous though.
"We can go do something else if you like, Evie." Snow White told her sister. She was more hoping the young princess would change her mind for her benefit. She was panicking about her little sisters health already and they weren't even on the ice yet.
Evie simply shook her head at her sister. "No. I wanna skate." The blunette stated. The short haired princess couldn't help the sigh that escaped her. The girl was nothing if not stubborn.
Snow White stood and held her hand out to her sister. "Come on then." She told the girl. Her legs shaking due to not being used to ice skates, Evie stood and grasped her sisters hand. The blue haired girl smiled up at her sister as they walked towards the ice but the smile did nothing to ease the older sisters worry. Snow knew how dangerous this could be. She was an adult when she had learned to skate and she had still hurt herself numerous times, she didn't want to think about what could happen to her six year old sister.
As they stepped onto the ice she looked down at the blue haired girl who was cautiously trying to glide across the ice next to the older princess. "You okay?" Evie didn't respond verbally she simply nodded her head to singal she was in fact alright. Snow could tell she was nervous though, it was easy with the way she was gripping her hand.
They skated around holding hand for a while until Snow white felt Evie's hand loosen a little. "Ready to try on your own, Evie?" She asked. Part of her hoped her little sister would say no but she knew the girls stubborn streak would win out.
"Yeah!" Evie exclaimed excitedly. Snow White slowly released the little girls hand and watched as, shakily at first, Evie began to skate away from her. The older princess didn't even realise she was holding her breath from nerves. But as it turned out she had nothing to be nervous about. Her sister was a natural on the ice and after about ten minutes was skating and turning seemingly effortlessly. Letting out the breath she had been holding, Snow finally felt herself start to relax a little and enjoy herself as she skated after her sister. She would definitely have to bring Evie here again. It seemed the little girl loved skating as much as she did.
Author's Note: So I know this is only short but I didn't know what else to write without it being too drawn out. Hope you guys don't mind me uploading this late. With it being Christmas I got caught up with family and forgot about this chapter and the next one. Hope you guys like this chapter. Please review and let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions let me know. I will probably continue uploading until Boxing day (since that is technically still Christmas) x
