"Ice rink?" Misty said, looking to Patti in surprise. "Yeah. Brian took me there last week. Wasn't as graceful as the hippos in the ice show later that night." Patti said. "Surprising how you know so much of the city. You'd think you grew up as a toon." Andrea said.

"Well I did buy a seasonal guide book recently." Patti said.

"Doubt that covers everything." Andy said. "Well Brian has shown Gina and I around to some nice places. Not all of which are in many guidebooks. Others just happen to be locations where they supposedly filmed cartoons. A number of which Gina and I watched growing up." Patti blushed. "Any other places we should checkout after the tree lighting?" Mrs. Noble asked. "Well..." Patti said before Misty and Andrea found themselves hitting a slick spot of sidewalk.

"Whoa!" they said slipping and sliding down the sidewalk.

"Girls!" Minda cried out, worrying for her eldest daughters getting hurt as the two girls picked up speed. "Don't panic. Girls, try tucking into balls until you come to a stop!" Patti called out to the two. "How will that help?" Misty asked as they slid toward a busy intersection.

"Oh...just do it!" Andrea said as they did what Patti suggested.

A small moving truck was driving through the intersection as the girls slid off the curb. Hitting the side, both girls bounced off, crashing into the building. They bounced between the building and cars parked along the street for a bit before crashing into a dumpster in a side alley.

"Ugh..." the two groaned as they climbed out.

"A little humiliated, but don't think anything is broken..." Misty said as she pulled a banana peel off her shoulder.

"Agreed. Even the damage to some vehicles and walls is minimal compared to my first time bouncing around." Patti said. "Still, we should go make a report. Maybe they'll be more likely to de-ice the sidewalks if they know it is a slipping hazard to visitors."

"You might be alright, but what about those dented cars?" Patti asked.
