This takes place during winter...awww ...it's so sweet for a while. (Takes place during that ice skaiting event ciel and sebastian where at...)

It's a nice day outside..." Ash smiled watching as the carriage moved through the snow filled streets. Vicotira had decided to take a carriage ride to see the ice skating events. "It's to bad it's cold out."

"Yeah the winter months come very quickly and can be very chilly.", Victoria point out to the streets which had some snow on them still.

"Hey snow!" Ash exclaimed smiling. "It's very clean looking."

"Yes so white and pure. The first snow of the Winter.", she said smiling.

"It's the first snow I've ever seen...in a while..." Ash watched the window. "It looks like clouds..."

"You've never seen snow Ash?", Victoria asked turning around to him.

"Well not this close no..." Ash replayed still looking out the window.

Victoria smiled, and motioned the driving to take a small detour to a small park that had a lot of fresh untouched snow on it. Victoria hopped out and smiled at Ash, "Let's take a small detour and play in the snow."

"Play in the snow?" Ash questioned looking at her. "But it's so pretty."

"Don't worry Ash, there will be more snow falling tonight.", she said smiling.

"How do you play in the snow?" Ash asked as the carriage came to a stop.

Victoria grabbed Ash's hand. "I'll show you, come on.", she said pulling him out of the carriage.

"Ok..." Ash smiled as she pulled him out of the carriage. "...it's cold."

Victoria giggled, "Snow is cold."

Victoria gently knelt down and made a snowball. "This is what we call a snowball Ash."

He watched her make the snow ball and slowly got down and picked up a handful of snow. "Like this?" He asked forming and od shaped snow ball.

Victoria giggled. "Yes but a little more rounder. Like this one.", she said holding hers up to him.

"Oh..." He tried again. "This look better?"

"Yes just like that, the perfect snowball. You did it!", she said smiling at Ash. "Now then you throw the snowball at someone."

"What? But it took so long to make?" Ash said confusion playing across his face. "And i'm not throwing it at you."

Victoria giggled. "There are many things you can do with a snowball Ash. You can throw it at someone, or something. Or...", she took a bite out of the snow. "You can eat it."

"Really?" Ash stared at the snow ball for a moment. Then he slowly took a bite out of it. "Blegh...it taste horrible and cold."

"It's cold but it does taste very pure. Water that is pure fro falling from the heavens themselves."

"I...i don't think snow comes from heaven..." Ash thought for a moment. "I mean, there's no snow in heaven why would you assume it came from heaven..."

"My mother always told me it fell from the heavens.", she got quiet. "She said that when the world needs some cleaning, the heavens will make it snow to purify the land. Snow turns into water, and with water comes new life."

"Oh..." Ash got quite. He had hurt her feelings. Great..." I mean...it might come from heaven, I didn't usually see all of my home. So for all i know there's a place around there where they do make snow..." Ash started to mumble.

Victoria walked over and hugged Ash. "It's all right Ash. You didn't hurt my feelings. I know somewhere in Heaven they make snow."

Ash returned the hug. "...what else do you do in snow...i mean besides eating it?" He asked.

Victoria giggled. "Well you can make what we call a 'Snow Angel'." She walked over to an open area and threw her arms out and gently fell backwards in the snow and began to move her arms and legs back and fourth. "Then you get up without trying to mess up the 'snow angel' and look at it.", she said jumping out of her snow angel and showed Ash. "See?", she said pointing.

"Wow...that's really neat." Ash looked at the snow angel. He walked over to the pile of snow and fell backward into it. He copied Victoria's movements and then slowly got up from his spot.

"Hmm...?" He studied his angel. "It looks nothing like me..it doesn't look like an angel? Where are it's wings?" He asked staring at the snow.

"Oh Ash...It's not that kind of angel. You now a snow angel is different. It's just fun to play in the snow...it's not supposed to be a real angel. ", she said giggling.

"Oh...Well i think you make lovely snow angels." Ash smiled at her.

She smiled at Ash. "Thank you."

Ash bent down to pick up more snow. "Ok so i make a snowball like this..." He smiled wrapping it around his hands. "Then I trow it?" He asked tossing it in Victoria's direction.

Victoria dodge it just in time. "Oh game on Ash.", she said quickly making a snowball and throwing it at him hitting him gently on the shoulder.

Ash grabbed more snow as quickly as he could and threw it at Victoria.

Victoria just giggled as the snow fell apart easily missing here.

"Silly Ash you wont be able to hit me like that unless-"

"Unless you make it into a round ball!", a voice from above finished her sentence.

Victoria looked up and saw Ronald Knox smiling from above the tree. "Yo!"

Ash turned looking at the man. "What are you doing here?" He demanded.

Ash quickly grabbed more snow trying to pack it into a ball. He would knock that kid out of the tree if he could. He threw the snowball hard at Ronald.

Ronald dodge by jumping out of the tree and landing between Victoria and Ash.

"Whoa now take it easy I'm hanging around because I've gotta job to do today.", he said looking through his little book. "All right let's see here. Ah ha! A young Mr. Ray Royce will die of an ice sickle stabbing around 2pm. So until 2pm I'm just hanging out enjoying the snow like you two are."

Ash paused in grabbing more snow. "That's a dumb way to die...i mean it's dark yeah but...also kinda odd..." He made his way past Ronald to stand next to Victoria. "So then...where apparently having a snowball fight..would you like to...play?" Ash asked Ronald.

Ronald nodded. "Heck yeah! As long as its okay with milady.", he said bowing to Victoria.

Victoria smiled. "Of course it is. But it's two against one then. That's not very fair odds."

"Oi Ronald!" Grell called out from a rooftop. "I was listening in...I don't have to work right now...seeing as will put me on probation, or something boring like that" He sighed sarcasticly before jumping next to Ronald."And i just cant have one of my dear friend get beaten by an Angel!"

Ash stared at Grell. This man was clearly crazy..."Ok fine...but no cheating."

Victoria giggled. "All right then we each get four snowballs to throw, whomever scores the most points wins."

Grell stared at the queen for a moment. "A snowball fight...awww i wish i could have a romantic fight like this with Sebastian!" Grell smiled starting to fantasize.

Ash nodded. "Of course my lady." He got down in the Snow and began to make Snow balls.

Ronald shivered at Grell's thought. "Grell stop thinking of him and focus on the fight! Make snowballs quickly now!", he said making snowballs fast.

Victoria began to make her own as well.

"Oh yes!" Grell smiled showing off his sharp teeth he started to make snow balls as well. "Like this Ronald?" He asked holding up a perfectly round snow ball.

Ash took one of the snowballs from his small pile and threw it with force at Ronald's head.

Ronald fell backwards and hit the soft snow. "Ah! You got me that 1 point for you guys."

Victoria quickly threw one at Grell's face.

Grell screamed and ducked avoiding the snowball. "What are you trying to do ruin my beautiful face!" He wined throwing a snow ball at Ash's face.

Ash shook the snow out of his hair. "Cold...um that's one point for you guys..."

Victoria threw another one at Grell's face and hit him this time. "I got a point!", she said smiling.

Ronald did a jig dance and threw one at Victoria's face.

Victoria dodge it but the snowball took her veil off revealing her face. She quickly covered her face with her hands.

Ash ran up to her picking her veil up in the process. He handed it to her. "Here..."

Grell stopped making snow balls. "Wait a minute..." He walked over to them and snatched the veil from Ash's hands. "How do you look like that?" He asked Victoria.

Victoria's blue eyes trembled in fear. "I um...", she looked at Ash.

Ronald was in shock. "Whoa! The Queen is a hottie!", he said blushing.

Ash smiled at her. "it's ok..." he put him self between Victoria and others. "her majesty has been purified, to be one with the one she loves...is that so bad?" he asked taking the veil from Grell's hands.

Grell's face darkened. "My my...are you not you the trouble maker..."

Victoria put her veil back on quickly.

Ronald scratched his head. "Well this does sucks. By our code we must report this to Will.", he turned to Grell. "But she's so cute. Do we have too?"

Victoria looked up at Ash in fear. 'Where they going to reap her soul? Would Ash have to fight Grim Reapers too?'

Ronald saw the worry that Victoria was expressing. Sighing Ronald said, "All right then, well give you a little break but only because her majesty is so cute. I can't guarantee how much time I can spare you before I have to report to Will though."

Ash glared at the two men. "So when are you telling him? It would be nice to have a warning..."

Grell sighed looking over to the queen. "I'll admit you are cute...Wills going to be so pissed at us for not telling him soon though...I might get demoted again..." he pulled out a pair of red scissors from his pocket. "this sucks too..."

"Ah quit you complaining Grell. It's your fault for getting demoted by hanging out with that demon.", Ronald said chewing Grell out. "Well the most I can buy you is a week tops. No guarantees though."

Victoria slowly peeked her head out. "Um, thank you Ronald and Grell."

"Hmpf...fine we can get them a week if we stall..." Grell thought. "how are we stalling?" he asked Ronald.

Ash sighed lightly. "What will he do? When he hears about...about her?"

"Well keep our mouths shut that's what will do Grell.", Ronald sighed. "Well Will will defiantly check her death record and go from there I guess."

Victoria froze, so they knew when she was going to die. Was it soon? Or was it years from now?

Ronald looked at his watch. "Oh man were going to be late. Let's go Grell.", he said jumping up and out of sight.

"Hey wait up!" Grell called after Ronald jumping after him.

Ash waited for a moment. Her death records...he turned to look at Victoria. "are you ok?"

Victoria didn't answer, for some reason the way Ronald said it. She felt in her heart that she was going to die sooner rather than later.

"My lady...?" Ash said quietly. He carefully touched her shoulder.

Victoria jumped as Ash touched her shoulder. For some reason it burned slightly. "A-ash... I'm sorry I didn't mean to space out."

"It's ok...dose your shoulder hurt?" he asked her. "we could head back...or try to lighten the mood back up...we could check out the ice skating?" Ash could tell she was scared, he needed to calm her down.

Victoria nodded. "Ice skating sounds fun right now.", she said smiling at him. Even though it was a faint smile.

"Good..." he took her arm carefully. He was afraid to touch her. She looked ready to panic.

He lead her back to the carriage slowly.

Victoria was trying to calm down, in her mind she kept seeing that demons wicked smile. The sword piercing her chest and Ash crying. She gently got into the carriage and they rode off to the skating rink.

Ash stared at the queen. She was scared he could see it in the way she held herself. "I'm sorry...that this is happening..."

Victoria slowly calmed down and pulled herself together. "It's all right Ash. I'm okay now see?", she said smiling happily.

Ash nodded. He'd let her think that for now. "Where here my lady..." Ash smiled as the carriage pulled into the market area.

Victoria had calmed down by now, and smiled at Ash. "Ice skating, I haven't been in ages."

"It looks amazing..." Ash too Victoria's hand and lead her out of the carriage. "but how dose all that water freeze like that?"

"Even water gets so cold it turns to ice. Or something like that the scientists say.", she said getting out of the carriage.

"oh..." Ash looked at the frozen water. "it is pretty..so..." he turned to look at the queen. "what shall we do first?"

"We can go watch the ice skating. How does that sound?", she smiled at Ash.

"Alright then, that sounds like fun." Ash smiled leading her through the rows of tent like shops.

"It might be fun to watch...it looks like there having some sort of compendium or something over there." Ash nodded his head over to the ice.

Victoria nodded. "Yes, lets watch the event.", she said as the two of them walked over to a private viewing area.

Ash watched for a moment. "it dose not look like an event though...I think some one is fighting?" he watched there where people out on ice going after one person. Ash's smile fell. They where attacking Sebastian. "I'll admit I'm impressed with his skating ability's..."

"but why are they attacking him...I wonder what he's done now?" Ash watched as the demon was effortlessly skating away from the men

Victoria stared in wonder as she saw Sebastian's moments on the ice. Little did people know that he was a demon in disguise.

"Hmm it looks like those men are going to ruin the fun for everyone..." Ash tool Victoria's hand. "I think we should leave before this gets to dangerous my lady."

Victoria nodded in agreement.

"Yes let's go.", she said as she let Ash lead them back to the carriage.

Ash smiled leading her had back to the safety of the carriage when an explosion broke through the sky. Ash sighed lightly. "humans like that can be such fools..."

"Oh my I hope the by standers are all right.", Victoria said as they drove off.

Ash shrugged. "at least those two will be kept busy..." Ash smiled.

Victoria nodded. "Now that the ice has been broken well have to wait til next winter to be able to do that. Oh well.", she said sighing.

"Hmm I would have loved to try it..." Ash smiled. "there's always next year then...it's a shame it will take so long though...did you have a good time today?" Ash asked.

Victoria smiled. "Yes I had a wonderful time."

"Snowball fighting was amusing..." Ash grinned. "I'd love to try it again sometime..."

"It was fun. Well when the next snow comes well have to get Pluto to join as well.", she said giggling. "Next time it snow's we'll have our new world..."

Man so the death god's finaly know about Victoria...what's going to happen to her now?
