Belle came up, dressed warmly and already smiling from the prospect of getting to go sledding again. She waved at the girl with bright blue hair that was pulling her sled up the hill. "Hi!"

"Hi!"

Levi waved back with one mittened hand. She didn't know the other girl, but Levi didn't mind. Friendly to a fault.

"You gotta watch out," she informed the other girl as she ascended the hill. "There's an icy patch about halfway down, it'll trip ya up!"

Belle grinned as her toboggan slid up behind her and she picked it up, looking at the hill. After a moment she looked back at Levi.

"I'm Belle by the way, we just talked on the network. This looks great, I haven't been sledding for so long!"

All the while she's getting her sled into position, finally getting it where she wanted it and taking a seat. "Okay, push off!" She wiggled a bit to help, but the sled mostly moved by itself, acting quite like someone had pushed it and soon Belle was squealing with delight down the hill, hitting the aforementioned icy patch and skidding off in a new direction, narrowly avoiding a tree before coming to a stop.

She turned and waved up at Levi with a grin "This is great!"

Man I wish I could actually remember how to speak french

"Belle, eh?" Levi said, and then switched languages: "That's a very beautiful name," she said in fluent French, making a pun that Belle had no doubt heard a thousand times before switching back into English. "I'm Levi," she said by way of introduction.

She watched as Belle took off down the hill, wincing when it looked like she was headed for the tree but breaking out in a grin when she avoided it.

"Close one!" she shouted down before pushing off on her own sled, riding it down to meet Belle at the bottom.

I never knew in the first place, I just use italic-speak

Belle was still grinning as she waited for Levi at the bottom of the hill. She had heard the pun on her name more times than she could count, mostly from boys trying to impress her with how "witty" they were.

"It was wasn't it? Luckily he missed it." She patted the plastic sled with a huge grin on her face. "Did you just learn French or are you from France?"

[charmingwaist]

"A little bit of both," Levi said as she stood up. "I'm from Ireland, but my mother's French, so I grew up with it"

Levi had, of course, known exactly how lame the pun was when she made it, but that was sort of the point.
