The doors to the rink opened as Izzy jumped up practically dragging Monica by the paw. it a dark and light by small bulbs. the rink had a cave theme to it, the tables and rink made of stone. it was clearly inspired by the four-legged era.
"You two have a fun time, I'll get a table, you girls want anything?" Daisy asked sitting at one of the oversized tables sitting on a high chair.
"You hungry?" Isabelle asked putting her skates on as Monica shook her head doing the same. decided to get her skates.
"I already have a pair, but you can rent them here" Izzy pointed out as the fox walked up to the deer behind the desk, doing a crossword puzzle as Monica rang the bell.
"Excuse me, Miss" Monica stated earning the deer's attention as she set down her paper.
"May I help you?" The deer asked a bit annoyed chewing a wad of gum as Monica sighed.
"I would like to rent a pair of skates" Monica explained as the deer reached down handing out of skates, to fit a child fox.
"Now let me get back to my crosswords" the deer added blowing a bubble Monica put on her skates, spinning a wheel before taking a step.
"Auntie Daisy bought me some pop bottles, pointing to two bottles sitting on the stone table " Izzy replied as the two set foot on the rink. the roller rink was fairly empty with a few skaters. Monica took a step before panicking and landing on her butt earning a giggle from Izzy who helped her up.
"Do you even know how to skate?" Izzy asked as Monica rubbed the back of her head nervously. hoping she would not find out or that she could easily grasp it.
"I was hoping It would be easy" Monica replied taking Izzy's paw as the rabbit pulled her up as the two began skating. Monica wobbled as Izzy smiled.
"Keep your balance, like this" Izzy added guiding her movement as Monica watched the movements the rabbit did, trying to imitate her movements. despite the difference in experience the two were managing to have fun.
"You look like you have it under control, you're getting the hang" Izzy complemented as Monica cracked a smile in pride. Izzy seeing this stood on one paw doing a spin earning a look for the other skaters as Monica looked in amazement.
"Wow, you're... that was" Monica stuttered as Izzy blushed shrugging her shoulder.
"Yeah, I've been skating since I could remember, I'm good at it" Izzy replied.
"Good, no; that was amazing" Monica corrected skating alongside her before Izzy turned to her.
"Can I ask you something; why be so nice to me, you hardly know me?" Izzy asked as Monica sighed.
"Master Long told me to be nice to everyone, plus it is your birthday, so I figured why not; I had no idea you'd invite me to go skating with you" Monica established getting a look from Izzy.
"I Just thought I should return the favor, plus I don't have any friends so it's also for me, I did not want to spend my birthday alone" Izzy added as Monica looked at her.
"Is it okay if I ask why you don't have any friends?" Monica asked as Izzy did not really want to talk about it but humored her.
"What's the first thing you think of when you see me?" Izzy asked as scratched her chin, what she saw was a cute young rabbit who seemed nice and the fact that she had no friends honestly shocked Monica as Izzy looked at her.
"Think about it, I'm Daisy Summer's niece" Izzy explained as Monica was baffled.
"I'd think being Daisy's niece would put you in the spotlight and make you popular, you should have mammals clawing each other for a chance to be your friend," Monica said confused as Izzy chuckled skating alongside Monica as she almost fell. Izzy caught her before she fell.
"It's true, nearly everyone wants to be my friend, but it's not because of me, it's because of my Aunt, people just see me as Daisy's niece; it's like I'm not even my own mammal" the bunny explained as Monica nodded.
"So we're completely different. I'm a fox who no one wants to be friends with, and your a bunny, who everyone wants to be friends with, amazing we're both alone" Monica replied as Izzy smiled.
"Even when we met earlier tonight, you were interested in my Aunt's career, I did not want to hear it, especially on what's supposed to be my day" Izzy replied as Monica smiled.
"I was just pointing out that I recognized her, in all truth I don't really watch the news, I'm honestly surprised you two did not run out of the restaurant seeing me" Monica joked as Izzy laughed skating next to Monica as the fox nearly tripped as Izzy held her up again.
"You are not very good at this are you?" Izzy replied as Monica grumbled.
"I was just getting the hang of it too" Monica muttered as Izzy giggled at Monica almost tripping extending her paw.
"Why don't you hold on... you know so you don't fall" Izzy defended as Monica looked at the paw.
"If someone saw us holding paws, they may get the wrong idea, between us being a fox and bunny and both girls... I'd rather not risk it" Monica explained as Izy retracted her paw understanding. the last thing she wanted was to send some misunderstanding as Monica smiled.
"Hey Izzy, how about we drink the bottles of pop" Monica proposed nudging Izzy's shoulder as she smiled.
"Sure thing B.F.F." Izzy replied skating with a confused Monica as they left the rink.
"Best Fox Friend" Izzy explained making way to the table as Monica smiled setting beside Izzy.
"That makes you my B.B.F., Best Bunny Friend" Monica retorted as Izzy picked up her bottle of strawberry soda undoing the metal cap.
"I'll drink to that" Izzy cheered clinking the bottles with Monica taking a sip.
"Well, what do have here, who's your friend Isabella" a voice stated as the two looked seeing a young Hyena about 13, he wore a purple shirt and dress pants.
"It's Isabelle, and what do you want Jack?" Izzy asked a bit annoyed with a boy's behavior as Monica looked at Izzy.
"Izzy, you said you had no friends; so who is this boy? Monica asked as he turned to her.
"Hey Cutie, what might your name be?" the Hyena asked as Monica looked at him uninterested.
"My name is none-of-your-business, and who are you" Monica retorted as he smiled.
"The name is Jack Kern, but my friends call me Smiling Jack, so give me a smile" Jack pushed as Monica turned her head. ignoring the weirdo as Jack looked at her.
"Come on Foxy lady, what is more, beautiful and valuable in this world that a smile?" Jack pushed smiling wide, leaning into Monica asked she leaned back. It was obvious that he was too close.
"Hey Jack, leave her alone, she's my friend" Izzy ordered as he backed up and laughed, it came off as shrill as he clenched his chest.
"A bunny, friends with a fox... " Jack breathed heavily in his laughter as she pouted seeing Jack snatch Monica's soda taking a sip sighing.
"That's priceless" Jack added splashing the red drink over Izzy as she jumped back screaming earning views from the other skaters. the bunny stood there, red soda running down her, ruining her white dress.
"Hey, what's going on here?" The deer from earlier asked approaching the group as Jack wiped his eye calmly.
"Nothing, clumsy here spilled her soda, someone should get a mop" Jack replied wanting to laugh but suppressing it.
That's not true, he poured it on her" Monica replied as the deer looked at them.
"You two with me, miss you should clean up in the bathroom," the deer said trying to comfort Izzy as Monica pouted.
"What did I do?" Monica pouted as Jack smiled at her.
"yes Miss, come on, you heard her" Jack replied as Monica groaned.
