Chapter Six:

"I know!" Mor exclaimed after the girls had spent a few minutes thinking. "We could go skating!"

"Yeah, that will be good for all of us." Gabby spoke up. "But first we need to tell Mr. and Mrs. Blakeney."

"Ok. " Kit agreed to the plan after she had pondered it a minute. "I think we could do that."

"How do you expect us to get there?" asked Silky.

"We could walk." Irish said.

"Yeah, we could all do with some exercise." Jess spoke up. "Anyways the rink really isn't all that far."

"You guys are forgetting something, we still haven't gotten permission to go." Mor said with an exasperated tone.

"Well why don't you go ask your parents now?" Soon it was settled. The boys and girls would go to the skating rink and then out to eat somewhere. Mr. and Mrs. Blakeney gave them some money before they left. Ten minutes later they entered the skating rink. After renting their skates they headed out on the ice. It took the better part of the first hour teaching them to skate. Soon the six boys were racing and chasing each other. The girls got into it to and soon they had a mini war on the ice. All too soon they had to get off the ice for the zamboni. While the guys watched the zamboni resurfacing the ice the girls went to get some water.After another hour and a half of skating they went to eat.

The girls decided the cheapest place would be to go to McDonalds. Instead of going as one large group they split into fours. Two guys and two girls. The girls decided that they would each split the total cost. After saving seats they went to get there drinks. That was a catastrophe! The girls got there drinks and then watched as the guys got theirs. The guys soon figured out how to work it they each got no less then two different types of drinks in their cup. When they got back to their seats Jack tasted the drink. He made a face.

"That's nasty!" he exclaimed. He had gotten five different kinds of drink in his soda.

"You're going to have to drink it." Jess said laughing.

"Why should I drink it if it's nasty?"

"Because you got your drink. We warned you not to do that, but you guys insisted that it would be fine." Kit told the boys. As soon as everyone was finished eating they slowly headed back to Kit's house. It was hot but eveyone still enjoyed the walk.

"Can we go swimming when we get back to the house?"Mush asked. Everyone agreed and soon they were racing back to the house. Emily was last there. She had decided to walk instead of run. Everyone was panting and waiting impatiently on the porch. Emily unlocked the door and they hurrued in to get changed. In five minutes they were all laughing and splashing and racing in the pool. They were content doing this for an hour and then everyone wanted to go in.

As soon as everyone was in and dressed in what they had been wearing before, the question of what to do was asked. A board game was brought out and started but five minutes into the game Blink complained.

"This is boring!Can we do something else?"

"Yeah, what's the point of it anyway? To make you tired and want to sleep?" Jack agreed.

"What can we do, Kit?" Davie asked.

"Watch another movie." Gabby suggested.

"What movie?" Irish looked skeptical.
