Dreams are made on Ice:

This is a short story for the Four Season saga based in winter this time for Ash and Hilda (one of my favorite pairings ever, to work with that is), might also be a long one as well.

Ash: 19

Hilda: 19

Too many disclaimers to be bother to do it all the time.

Winter had just set in, the snow was falling on the streets and Hilda was always scared to go outside due to how cold it was, Ash walked into the room and saw that Hilda was looking outside, Ash approached the young brunette with a smile, he looked outside to find the children playing in the fresh snow, making snowmen and having snowball fights.

She noticed that Ash was standing next to her while he was looking at the children having a great time in the snow. "Why does it have to be so cold?" Hilda asked while looking at Ash with frown, "I know it is winter, but why is it so cold?" Hilda asked in disbelief.

Ash looked into Hilda's eyes and smiled, "you know, you wouldn't feel it as much if you found something that you like," Ash said with a sigh.

Hilda looked away with anger and crossed her arms, "there is nothing I like about winter," Hilda snapped back while closing the curtains of her house, "if you're going to keep this up, please leave me alone," Hilda said.

It was at that moment that Ash had a bright idea, Ash walked out of the house and towards a shop that allowed hire for ice skates.

Hilda sat on a chair with regret setting in; "maybe I shouldn't have pushed Ash away like that," Hilda said while berating herself, suddenly as she placed her head on the table the doorbell rang causing the brunette to jump out of her seat.

She walked up to the door and opened it, she saw Ash standing there with two pairs of ice skates, "come on Hilda, we're going on a date," Ash declared not hiding the truth from Hilda.

"Ash, I don't want to go," Hilda said but before the door closed Ash pulled Hilda out of the house in to the chill of winter, "Ash, what are you doing?" Hilda asked in anger as she was being pulled towards the ice rink with Ash.

Ash was too busy laughing at her misfortune, she now had no choice but to follow Ash, "come on Hilda, at least try to have some fun in winter," Ash said with a smile.

Ash and Hilda sat on the seat and started to put on the ice skates, "Ash, I have never been ice skating before," Hilda confessed nervously.

Ash looked over at Hilda with a smile, "I know, you said you hated winter," Ash pointed out with a smile, "it's alright, just hold my hand, I will make sure you don't fall," Ash promised while the two slowly moved to the ice rink.

Ash had Hilda's hand while helping her keep balance, while keeping his balance with ease Hilda started to lose hers but Ash was there to keep her from hurting herself, Ash grabbed both of Hilda's hands and started to move around on the ice. Hilda was starting to get used to the slippery surface and began to loosen her grip on Ash's hands.

"That's it Hilda, you're getting used to it," Ash said while moving one of his hands away, but as he let go Hilda started to fall, in quick reaction Ash prevented Hilda from falling, he looked into her eyes with relief, "that was close," Ash silently said with an assuring grin.

While looking up Hilda remained in Ash's arms, she smiled at Ash while moving her hand up to Ash's face, "you're right about finding something I could like about winter," Hilda said sweetly.

"Come on we have all day to teach you ice skating," Ash pointed out as he help Hilda stand up.

As time went on Hilda started to show signs of great improvement and her dislike of winter started to disappear, she was laughing and having a great time, this time she was only holding onto one of Ash's hands. Eventually as the day started to reach its twilight the two skated off the ice, Hilda sat down on the bench with Ash.

"Hilda, what did you think?" Ash asked with a smile.

Hilda took off her skates and placed her normal footwear on her feet, "Ash I loved it," Hilda confessed with a proud grin, she lent in with a smile, "but I love you more Ash," Hilda said happily while taking his hand, "time to go home," Hilda said happily, she wrapped her arm around Ash's as the two walked back home after an enjoyable session of ice skating.

I hope you enjoyed this winter story with Ash and Hilda, now there are three more seasons to go with Ash and Hilda, what would you like to see in the next three seasons?
