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.

Giselle's eyes widened with the fire display in the sky. Even worse than watching it in the sky far from her was that is appeared to be approaching at an alarming rate. What could it be? Why was it heading in her direction. She looked down at her now skate encased feet and wondered how she would get away with them on. She would just have to remove them quickly and make a mad dash for it.

Not a moment later a golem approached with a very ardent young man yelling at the top of his lungs. Was the fire coming out of his hands and feet... and his mouth? Was he some sort of dragon in human form? What had he said he was? The Fire Lord? Well, whatever he was, he was frightening. Although, not so frightening once he was tossed into the snow bank. That was almost funny, and her lips quirked up in a partial smile, though she hid it behind a gloved hand.

The smile immediately left her face when he rounded on her and shouted. She didn't even have time to respond before he was stalking off and she half hoped the golem would let him be. But, as she knew the rule dictated, a smoking golem brought the young man back. She watched him sulk for a moment before she realized that someone else had approached.

She smiled at the golden haired woman and stood up. "I've never skated before. Have you?" She approached and stuck her hand out. "Hello! I'm Giselle." She was happy that at least there was one friendly looking face in this group. She didn't know what she would have done if she'd been forced to skate with Zuko alone.
