Yesterday's experience in the snow had been more fun than she'd expected from the cold white fluff. So, when she woke this morning, her blue eyes twinkled with the ideas that ran about in her head of possibilities for today. But, before se could get anything solidified in her mind, she heard the faint rustling of paper outside her door. The sound was familiar and her mind flashed back to a day about two and a half weeks prior when she'd been forced into an activity. It had been bowling then.

She pulled a silken pink robe onto her form and opened the door to find an envelope had been taped there. She peeled it from the door and shut it again, leaning against it as she opened it and glanced inside to pull out the small sheet of paper. She held it up, reading to herself as her lips moved lightly. Go to the frozen lake. You will be ice skating. This is mandatory. If you do not go a golem will find you and take you there. Do not leave until the activities are finished, or a golem will take you back.

Ice skating? She mused on this, wondering what it could be exactly as she got into the shower and then went to get breakfast. After breakfast she found a book of romantic short stories in the library and took it back to her room to read. She read for the majority of the morning and the time passed quickly. Soon it was time for lunch. She ate lunch and when she discovered she needed to get going, she dressed herself in an outfit similar to the one she'd worn the day before. It was baby blue this time, though.

She trudged through the snow toward the lake. The planet seemed to have replenished the snow over night. She knew that with all the people who had been out in it yesterday, it shouldn't have looked this pristine. It really was breathtaking. She smiled faintly as she came up to the lake. A golem was standing there with four pair of ice skates and a bench had been placed near the edge of the lake. She accepted the pair of skates presented to her, and sat down on the bench to change her shoes. She had no idea how to ice skate, but hopefully those who were going to be doing this with her would be able to show her.

Hours later, Giselle would hear someone shouting angrily and see in the sky bursts of fire flying this way and that, almost like a fire works display, or perhaps some sort of volcano. It was pretty, but perhaps a bit frightening for someone who'd never seen it before. And a few momenets later, there would come the angry, annoyed, frustrated sounding voice that accompanied the fireworks display, as a golem appeared to be trudging along, holding something in his arms, like a little baby cradled close to his chest. Except, it wasn't a baby, it was a full grown man, who seemed almost to be having the sort of tantrum a baby might have. Fire was shooting from his hands and feet and now again at his mout, at the Golem, who was ignoring it.

"Put me down! I'm the Fire Lord!" Zuko said, throwing out his title as a last ditch attempt to try to dissuade the automaton that was carrying him. "I don't care about your stupid get together... now let me goOOO" With a heave the man was tossed into a large snow bank, which started to melt out of the heat of the fire benders anger as he stared at the golem with a look that perhaps might have killed someone weaker.

Standing up and brushing the snow off of himself, he turned and looked at Giselle as if she were somehow in control of the golems that had summoned him, giving her a dark glare as he narrowed his eyes at her. "What are YOU looking at, Peasant?" he snapped at her, and then turned and started walking before she could even reply to him, storming off, away from the lake. He'd be damned if some stupid walking chunk of rock was going to force him to spend his day how he didn't want to...

A few moments later though, Giselle would hear a loud explosion coming from the distance Zuko had headed off to, and a few moments after that, a golem, slightly charred from fire came walking towards her, dragging an angry but silent Zuko behind him, holding him by the scruff of his collar, so his feet were dragging behind him. As the golem let him go, Zuko just stayed in the snow with his arms crossed.

"This is stupid."
