"You brought me to ice skating rink why thank you." Katrina exclaimed ecstatically. She then went about hugging everyone. Xavier smiled; he liked it when his friends were happy. He normally just went about his business with a stone face. Inside his heart it was a different story. He was always helping people and organising people. "Sure, it was a great way to celebrate your birthday and anyway you need some practice on that figure we were doing." Xavier responded. "Sure" she replied with a flick of her golden hair.
When the group had put their skating boots that they stored in the club lockers and the girls had tied back their hair, they went out on to the deserted rink. "I wonder why know ones here?" Zoe asked "Three options, either everyone was abducted by aliens in their cool UFOs or everyone forgot today was open or I don't know" Jason replied "Nuh duh! It's simple we don't know." "I think it is just because it is the local cup day." "Oh yeah, I did not think of that!" "Well obviously I did" "No you didn't" "Yes I did" "Didn't" "Did" "Did" "Didn't" "Fine I did." "Whuhh?" …
After their nice little piece of useful banter the quadruple split into Jason and Zoe speeding off and Katrina and Xavier starting with a few warm up laps. "Let us start off with a basic double shall we not." Xavier suggested. "Yes, why don't we?" Katrina replied "We shall do a tourniquet." Xavier and Katrina started skating off to the middle of the ice pond and started their figure. It comprised of Xavier twisting Katrina thin body by her wide hips in a clockwise direction and Katrina graciously lifting her thin leg up and bent back to her groin with her shoes pointed. Xavier could not help but think "Like a dog doing his business on his favourite fire hydrant, not really though, I can't really compare her to that sort of simile since she is a very gifted ice skater". This figure was executed at a very fast rate. The figure was actually very difficult to do since Xavier had to stay out of the leg jutting out of Katrina.
Meanwhile Zoe and Jason speed off and going as fast as they can around the rink. They then set out to magnificently crash together ending in Jason tripping over and Zoe land on her but on his face. The girl then blushed a light shade of pink hardly noticeable with her lightly darkened skin complexion. She hurriedly got off the poor victim and apologised profusely. "She'll be right, mate. Just need a get back. I propose that we have a race of let's say six laps." Jason said dismissively. "Okay slowpoke stacker." The brunette replied. "Hey, watch what you're saying. Can't let me honour get damaged by some new cracker ice skater." Jason quickly replied with a typical outback Australian accent and a smile. "Suit yourself" She brushed aside his remark. Jason stood up and with Zoe prepared their selves for the offhand race of the century. "READY set, bananas. LOOK DEAD BIRD FLYING. READY, SET, GO!" Zoe called out to Jason. "Hey, cheater. Get back here with your big butt" exclaimed Jason. Zoe just laughed it off. The race started with Zoe out front and Jason saying a few minor swear-words. But then it was Zoe's turn to crash. Jason obviously crashed into her as well and they lay sprawled in the ice. "My funny bone. Oww ha ha Ow haha haow." Said Zoe "Yeah hate it when that happens to me and especially when it hurts you like hell and makes you laugh at the same time." Jason responded. They got up but then Zoe then almost lost her balanced and clung on to Jason. "Woah, mate, hold your horses." Exclaimed Jason. But it was to no use, he fell over again and landed on his sore but while Zoe said sorry.
"Well look at those ballerinas." Jason said and then proceeded to whistle. "Woah! SO like terrifically awesome! Does it hurt Xavier? Like doesn't it take a lot of pure muscle and meat, like, strength and determination?" Zoe shouted out.
The two Ballerinas in question who were Xavier and Katrina were doing an exquisite figure. Xavier was holding Katrina up and while slowly skating in a circle. You could see his arms trembling slightly and a set face. Katrina was meanwhile doing her hardest to stay balanced while doing the splits. The figure was held for only 10 seconds before Xavier tired and gently deposited his extra weight down.
"Huh what? Oh no, not really." Xavier responded. "Yeah right big guy. I am sure it was a little insy-winsy strenuous to pick me up for at least fifteen seconds." Said Katrina poked Xavier in the chest. "Nah you are as light as a feather. I could pick you up easily for longer." Xavier said "Yeah! Well if I were you I would be carrying Katrina a little longer." Jason boasted. "Well why don't we try." Zoe asked smartly. "Not with you at least you're too clumsy to pick up." "Oh really Mister Jason, i'm too clumsy. Whatever." Said Zoe while attempting to stomp her foot, this lead to her falling back down onto the hard cold ice all over again. "Third time today I fall down." Sighed Zoe. She continued "What do you all want to do know?"
It was a good question they then decided to just plain skate around some more. After a few hundred stacks, wipe-outs and crashes later from Zoe, the four friends left the deserted ice skating rink while saying bye to the friendly staff. Of course they only left after they, painstakingly and arduously and slowly and with lots of talking about the weather and such, took their ice skates off and the girls untying their hair with Zoe taking the longest with her very long chocolate hair.
They took off to the bus stop and waited for the bus to take them to the nearby train station. After a few minutes of waiting, Xavier started listening to music, Katrina was looking at her nails, Zoe was playing with her hair and Jason was doing handstands. In the minds of the three other friends, it was perfectly normal that he was doing it and on the good side it was not annoying them. They were used to Jason trying different acrobatics on the street. He once did front-flips for an hour. You could see him twisting around for an hour afterwards. Funny thing is, is that he crashed into the bus sign. "Oww" cried Jason. "What now?" sighed Zoe. They found Jason with his knees bent back inwards. "I got a nasty bruise on me leg." Said Jason "Crashed in to the pole over there, by the bin." Zoe turned to the direction he was pointing; while Xavier and Katrina crouched down to see Jason's battered leg. "Never thought of shaving your legs? Xavier does… for gymnastics." Katrina asked casually while looking at the small blue bruise on his shin. "Didn't know Xavier shaved his legs, the girl." Jason replied with his teeth clenched. "It is just more practical for sport you know. It heals your wounds faster." Said Xavier. "Plus girls don't really like thick haired boys." Katrina added. "Yeah, okay right. Not changen'me mind yet about shaven legs and armpits and Xavier actin' like a girl." "Didn't say anything about armpits, you numbskull." Xavier interrupted. "Shush boys." Katrina quietly said "you'll draw more attention to us even when Jason does the acrobat on the street." "Yeah you are right about that." Jason said while rubbing his neck with his callused and big hand and shifting his foot slightly.
The bus the four friends were waiting for surged around the corner of the main street. At the same time a blue Ford Territory was getting out of a hidden driveway. The car backed out with a lot of force at the exact moment the bus was almost past the hidden driveway. The inevitable happened the bus swerved and crashed into the old rusty bus stop. The Xavier, Jason, Katrina and Zoe got crushed by the bus against the bus stop.
The bus driver died from the impact. The Ford driver rushed out with his arms swinging all around him like a headless chicken and yelled towards the Bus. He was horrified at what a disaster he caused. "NO, it can't have happened. I was driving so carefully out of the garage and then I suddenly lost control." There was no hope of survival for the four friends. The passengers in the bus got minor injuries and were well off compared to the other victims.
When the rescue department came they dug the four friends out of the debris. Jason was found tangled around a post and the rest were crushed with serious injuries. They were still alive but Jason, Katrina, Zoe and Xavier had badly damaged heads and they were in a deep coma. It was a miracle they were still alive.
They were all kept in the same room and ward. The situation was hopelessly bad for the four friends.
"Wuhh?" Xavier thought "Where the heck are we. I think I'm blind." "Then it makes it the two us to be blind, all I see is white and blue." Zoe called out "Nahhh… make it three I think I want to join the group. Oups I did…" Jason sarcastically said. "I'm scared I can't see anything."
"But where are we?" Katrina asked.
"Woahwohwoh… Can I think clearly please?" Xavier asked. "Yes but only if you make me a sandwich." "Wuhh… I guess that's a yes…" Xavier said perplexed. "I think we are looking at blue and white stuff. Technically it's cyan blue Zoe." "Yeahhh... thanks for the life-saving information about my artistic skills." Zoe replied sarcastically "I'm pretty sure it's basic colour recognition, Zoe"
"But where are we?" Katrina asked.
"…"
"Don't know for sure but it seems we are stuck here for a while." Xavier stated. "How do you know?" Jason asked. "Call it feminine intuition. Wait… that sounded a little off didn't it?" Xavier asked.
"But where are we?" Katrina asked.
"I think we heard you the first time Katrina" Zoe said with expiration.
The four friends then noticed they couldn't even see their own bodies. They then started swearing a little. Then they started freaking out for real and then they went in to a state of denial.
All of a sudden, their blindness was washed away like a sponge on the table. They got to see a blue plasma looking wall and around each of them they saw rock walls. What was really surprising was the cyan coloured magic coming from a being from the other side of the wall. The tentacles of cyan weaved their way from the four compartments into the beings outstretched hands. The being was a pink anthropomorphic hedgehog wearing a cyan coloured dress. Behind her was a great hall covered in gold with six columns rising from the tiled ground to the decorated ceiling.
"I think I just went psychotic." Whispered Jason. "I thought you always were." Xavier replied. "Nahhh… I think Jason went psychotic and we went just plain crazy." Zoe added.
"Do you see what I see B2." "I think I do, B1" "Hey stop it with the Banana in Pyjamas references." Zoe started getting frustrated. "Yeahhh… Why don't we use Star Wars references?" Xavier suggested. "Yeahhh… I am your father." "Nooooooooooo" "So you guys are Son and Father." Zoe cheekily said. "Yes, but only if I am Darth Vader and Xavier is Luke." Jason said with a dark voice "No it is the opposite." Xavier rebuked "Shot gun it" Jason said anyway.
They then realised things weren't very normal. That was an understatement. Jason was the first one to realise he had changed into a fox creature, then Xavier, then Zoe and then finally Katrina which lead to them starting to swear a little bit about their situation. Then they started freaking out for real and then they went in to a state of serious denial.
"But where are we?" Katrina asked again…
Hope you liked the story. Please be patient on writing as it has to fit in with my straining studies and my numerous activities and the need to spell check.
