Spirit Jerebis: Winter in Meric Land
Episode 5: "Enjoy the Purity while it lasts"
-Last episode of the Section-
Ramadan '05
My gift story this Ramadan
Previously on Winter in Meric Land: A.J. prepared breakfast. He explained Helen some stuff about Ramadan. The two prepared the breakfast together and finished the preparation faster. Enjoy the last episode of the section. Hurrah! The sodas are on me! Let's party! That's the gift story for the Ramadan. On with the conclusion.
When everyone was done, they left their seats. Stan went and brought his ice skates out. The others followed to watch. A.J. stayed back to wash the dishes, Helen offered to stay and dry them.
"You think the ice is thin?" Helen asked.
"The lake's ice? I don't know. We'll find out soon enough. We'll take our ice skates with us, just in case." A.J. replied.
The group, minus A.J. and Helen, reached the frozen lake. Stan put on his ice skates and prepared himself.
"Do you know how to skate?" Emerald Agumon asked.
Stan blinked, "Uh. To some degree. Don't be surprised if I slip and fall on my butt."
"If you fall on your butt than you probably might break the ice." Shomon grinned.
"I know how to dive and swim." Stan argued.
"It's freezing cold down there." Grace remarked.
"Oh. Put a sock into it! Just watch me sissies." Stan grinned, getting onto the ice.
The first skate on the ice and Stan slipped onto his butt. The ice didn't break.
"I guess the ice is thick and firm enough then." Sigmalmon noted.
"Seems so." Alex agreed.
"Let's go get our skates." Simon remarked.
He rushed back to the mansion, followed by the others.
Simon met A.J. and Helen on the way; the two were carrying their ice skates. Simon noticed their feet and that they were wearing tennis rackets on their shoes.
"Stan checked the ice on the lake and its good. What are those for?" Simon asked, pointing at the rackets.
"They're to keep our feet out of the snow." A.J. replied.
"O.K. Bye." Simon nodded, rushing off.
"Well, it seems Stan didn't dive after all." A.J. sighed.
"He can be so reckless, I know." Helen nodded.
The two continued on their way and saw Stan continuously trying to control his balance, but he always failed by falling down different ways.
'I just realized that I don't know how to skate.' A.J. sweat-dropped.
"A.J.? Are you O.K.?" Helen asked.
"No. I can't skate." A.J. whispered.
Helen blinked, "Neither can I."
"Uh?" A.J. asked.
"There are things that I'm not good in you know." Helen remarked.
Alex and the rest of the group came back. Alex put on his skates and got onto the frozen lake. He skated like a pro.
"I'll go skiing." A.J. sighed.
"That is at least a snow sport I can do." He decided.
"I'm coming with you." Helen decided.
"Sorry but I won't allow you to come with me. The path is too dangerous for beginners or amateurs. You can stay here and learn how to skate." A.J. retorted.
"I'm coming and that's it!" Helen hissed.
"Come and see the path first. When you see it, you can back down. I don't want any of my members: you included, to get injured while we're here." A.J. explained.
Helen sighed, "It was worth the shot. Have a fun time."
A.J. nodded, "Sure thing."
The others were watching Alex and his skating. Stan got out of the frozen lake. Amanda cheered her boyfriend on. Alex was already a member of the league from before; A.J. was the one who welcomed him in. A.J. went back to the mansion.
A.J. put his skating gear away and got his skiing gear.
'The path up the waterfall would be full of snow; it would be a challenge.' He thought.
He went towards one of the sides of the waterfall. He stopped momentarily, seeing Otazoidmon and Shetamon dancing gracefully on the frozen lake with their ice skates. A.J. blinked, he shrugged and continued on his way. He looked up the path and saw it full of snow, the path itself, but the path wasn't blocked. A.J. hiked up it. Once up, he threw his rackets downwards. They fell into the snow, not getting harmed. A.J. put his skis on and prepared himself.
"Let's see if I still have the talent." A.J. whispered.
With that, down he went. He went through the path that he paved up and reached the ground safely. Helen and Otazoidmon were there clapping for him. A.J. blinked and smiled sheepishly.
The days went on. Snow fell at night again and again. A.J. and Helen, with the others, learned how to skate. When snow fell, A.J. would ski down the path, clearing it to some degree. In no time A.J. learned to skate like a pro with Helen. The two danced together on the frozen lake once they were pros. Amanda and Alex joined them with Otazoidmon and Shetamon, and the others. So, they spent a marvelous winter and a memorable one to that in Meric Land.

"Eoo! The grass is dewy." Grace commented.
A.J. shrugged, "We might never now until tomorrow. Meric Land has been wondrous so far. It was made by our crescentian ancestors after all."
"I'm in." Helen nodded.
"Friendship sort." A.J. replied.
"But don't you love me?" Grace asked.
Simon smiled, "I wouldn't want it any other way. With our clothes on though."
"Blood sister or foster sister! You ruined the fun of the night we had!" Helen sighed.
They both gasped once seeing the snow. The snow covered the ground thickly. It was so clean, white and pure.
"Neatly done. It's done on your back though." Grace remarked.
"We'll stay on the defensive for their final attack. Continue on with the offensive." Stan ordered.
"Now how about some breakfast?" A.J. asked.
"Just wait and taste." A.J. remarked.
"Honestly, I'd love to go into the subject with you but I have to deal with preparing breakfast." A.J. replied.
"I don't know. The ice might be thin." Helen worried.
"Do you know how to skate?" Emerald Agumon asked.
Helen blinked, "Neither can I."
"Let's see if I still have the talent." A.J. whispered.
