Speaker 1: Hello, my cute verbs. Before we get into the video,
just a reminder please like and subscribe.
Speaker 2: It helps me a lot.
Speaker 1: Also, if you want to support me more, you can
join my Patreon or you can use any of my
affiliate links in the description down below.
Speaker 2: Enjoy.
Speaker 1: Okay, are you ready to tear up this ice rink? No?
Not literally, I mean are you ready to do some
super sick and awesome and cool moves on the ice
show off our insane skills of friendship to this crowd
of unascended simpletons. Hey, rude, I have improved a lot
since we last gated. I mean, how many years ago
was that? We were still in high school at that point?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: Oh gosh, I'm realizing how old we are. Well regardless,
I know I was a bit of a ditz back then,
but I've improved a lot. Dare I say that I'm
a master of the rink? Mm hmm that's what the
cool kids call me. They see me zoom past and
they're like, whoa, look at her. Go that's the queen
of the ice skating rink right there. Well, you can
doubt my credentials all you want, but just you wait,
you'll be bowing before your highness soon enough? Huh oh, well,
I mean there's no rush, right. We have the whole
day to skate, like a few hours or so. Besides,
we have to finish our hot cocoa before we go
out there. It's not like we can drink it wild skating, right,
that would be ridiculous.
Speaker 2: Oh you're finished ready? Whoa?
Speaker 1: Okay, well, just be patient because I have more left.
It's more than a dribble left. It's like a dollup
at least. No, I'm trying to savor this cocoa. I
paid a good four bucks for this, and I take
small steps. Okay, it takes me a while. Okay, fine,
I'm done.
Speaker 2: Are you happy? Yes?
Speaker 1: That means we can go skating now out on the
rink made of ice.
Speaker 2: Let's uh hop to it. And I suppose.
Speaker 1: Unless unless we first require some inspiration for our soon
to be skating antics. M Oh, oh my gosh, I
know the perfect thing. Step back to take a gander
at this.
Speaker 2: Isn't it cool?
Speaker 1: I mean, who knew goats could climb a tree like that.
I don't know why he wants to go up there.
Maybe they get a good viewer, maybe a coconut or something,
But I just love goats. They're so awesome, so fearless,
so majestic.
Speaker 2: What.
Speaker 1: I'm showing you this because I thought it was a
cool video, and it's inspirational, like I said, because if
a goat can work up their courage to climb up
a tree, then we can muster the bravery to go
out on the ice and skate. Right, Not that I'm
nervous about it or anything like I'm a pro and
all that. It was just to help you feel inspired.
You're feeling inspired now, are you sure? Because I do
have an entire playlist of goat videos. We can take
our time and make sure that you really have the
fortitude and all that jazz that you need to get out.
Speaker 2: There and do your best.
Speaker 1: All right, if you insist, let's go skate.
Speaker 2: Ah.
Speaker 1: And as everyone knows, the first step to skating is
warming up your skating muscles with some stretches and calm breathing.
Follow my lead, in.
Speaker 2: And out, in.
Speaker 1: And out. Okay, I think just another thirty minutes or
so of this and then that'll be a good warm up.
Speaker 2: Don't you think we have to do this right?
Speaker 1: We don't want to pull muscle skating what I am
not procrastinating. That's absurd, ridiculous even I'm just trying to
make sure that we do every step properly and carefully,
because safety first, right, And speaking of safety first, I
saw this really funny safety demonstration video last week, and
I don't know if it was meant to be like
satirical and funny or maybe just cringe, but I laughed
at it a lot, so maybe we should just watch
it together. It's only like forty five minutes and six parts. No,
I'm not this isn't fine. Yes, I'm procrastinating. No, it's
not that I do want to ice skate, but.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: No, I literally mean that I cannot skate no matter
how hard I try, I can't go more than three
feet before I fall over. I'm not scared of getting hurt.
I just I don't want to embarrass myself. There's so
many people here, they won't understand it's not that hard
to skate, or at least it shouldn't be. I mean,
there's literal kids skating around, no.
Speaker 2: Problem at all.
Speaker 1: I'm I'm just bad at it, like a really bad.
I wish I could say that it's because I'm out
of practice. But when we made plans to go ice
skating last week, I may have come here once or
twice or six times to practice. Yes, I'm serious. I
knew how uncoordinated I was, and I didn't want to
embarrass myself or you by association. So I came here
to practice and skate by myself. But I couldn't do it,
no matter how hard I tried. I'd even spend an
hour or so a day at home sliding across the
floor in my really soft, fluffy Dino socks. I kept
falling there too, and I thought I was getting better.
Speaker 2: But.
Speaker 1: I don't think I really was, and I'm not really
sure that using Dino socks was that good of a plan.
I just wanted to impress you and improve that I
wasn't a total dunce, at least not at everything. No,
that's not what I mean. I don't really care about
impressing those strangers out there or showing off. I wanted
to impress you, specifically you, because you're my best friend
and you mean a lot to me, and I value
your opinion of me and I It doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: It was stupid. All of this was dumb. I'm dumb.
Speaker 1: I know you would never get upset with me for
being silly. You're always so sweet, but I can't help
but feel like you always feel embarrassed to be around me,
Like maybe you'd rather hang out with someone that wasn't
so dumb and that always tripped over things. I don't know,
but you did invite me here today to skate, and well,
I really wanted to hang out with you, but I
worried that if I told you the truth that I
really couldn't skate, that then you wouldn't want to hang
out with me anymore. And I really wanted you to
want to hang out, so so I tried, but I failed.
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like we used to be closer.
Speaker 1: We grew up together, we went to school together, we
hung out all the time, and then we graduated high
school and felt invincible, like nothing could go wrong. And
then we went our separate ways, different colleges, and I
know that we kept in touch and stuff, but it
just wasn't the same, going from seeing each other all
the time, or at least talking to each other nearly
every day, to more accasion chatting, and you felt really
far away in more ways than one. Sometimes I felt
like you were only staying in contact with me because
you felt like you were obligated to, not because of
anything that you did. I just I started to feel anxious,
and then my anxiety got so bad that I thought
every time I messed up, it was like another strike
against me, and eventually you would just find a new
friend who wasn't so dumb. And if I'm really honest,
it's not only about losing you as a friend, because
when we spent all that time away, I missed you
like more than I would just miss a friend, and
I was scared that maybe I would mess up the
chance for us to finally, maybe possibly be something more.
I am being serious. You think I'm stupid, don't you
for thinking that we could be more than friends. No,
this is not spur of the moment. I can honestly
say that I've wanted this for a long time, and
I guess I just feel like you deserve to know
the truth about why I've been acting so weird. Well,
if I'm really extra honest, I've had a crush on
you since I don't know middle school.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it.
Speaker 1: You are just always so cute and so kind, and
you always made me laugh so much like you're such
a weirdo, but in the best way. And I guess
most of all, you never made me feel like a
big dummy like everyone else in I was always known
as just like the dumb pretty girl, and you never
made me feel like that, even if I am bit dumb.
It's nice of you to say that, but you don't.
Speaker 2: Have to lie.
Speaker 1: And anyway, there were a few times that I considered, like,
maybe I'll just do it, I'll.
Speaker 2: Just ask him.
Speaker 1: But when I would think about it asking you to
see a movie or play mini goal for something, my
legs would start shaking and I would literally get cold feet.
I would start sweating and get so stressed out, and
sometimes I would even have an anxiety attack just thinking
about it. And I kept telling myself that eventually I
would work up the courage and maybe if I just
read some more books and didn't feel like such a
dumb dumb maybe I would get the confidence. But well,
I don't really think any amount of books would give
me enough confidence to think that I deserve you.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just feel like if you have that many chances
to tell someone how you feel and you don't, eventually
the universe will stop giving you the option. Any time
that we met up for Christmas dinners or whatever, I
was afraid that you would show up with another girl,
and that she'd be prettier than me, but even scarier
that she would be smart, and that just made me
feel even more stressed because I couldn't compete with that.
And if you want to know the worst thing, the
dumbest thing of all, I really thought that if we
came here today, then I could show you that I
wasn't terrible at every single thing, and that I could
skate like a pro. Maybe you would be impressed enough
to ask me out, because you'd be so attracted to
my skills that a dits like me might even be
worth your time.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: Why do you think I bought my own skates that
are color coordinated to this cute outfit? I want you
to like me. I don't know. Do I want to
know a secret, because if you're gonna tell me that
I'm ridiculous and stupid, I already know that and I
don't need anyone else to tell me.
Speaker 2: What. No, you're just trying to.
Speaker 1: Make me feel better because you're sweet. Seriously, like, actually,
do you really mean that you seriously.
Speaker 2: Like me too? For how long?
Speaker 1: Are you serious? You've had a crush on me since
middle school?
Speaker 2: Too?
Speaker 1: Well? Why didn't you say anything about it?
Speaker 2: Genius?
Speaker 1: Do you know how much stress this has caused me
over the years. Yeah, I know, I didn't say anything either.
But I'm the dumb one. You're the smart, cool, calm, suave,
better than everyone guy that could have anyone. You didn't
think that you are good enough for me?
Speaker 2: How I can't believe that.
Speaker 1: You would ever think that. I mean, any girl would
be lucky to have you. But are you sure that
you still like me even after I came off like
a total weep today? And you don't think that I'm
too dumb?
Speaker 2: I'm not dumb. I'm just silly.
Speaker 1: H Okay, fine, fine, I accept it for now, but
come here. I need a hug. Mm hm Oh my gosh, No,
I'm not. I'm just watering my eyes on your shoulder.
Speaker 2: It's different.
Speaker 1: Stop, it's not funny. I just care about you so much,
and god, I was so nervous, I was trying to
do anything to avoid going out on.
Speaker 2: The ice rink. I just care about you a lot, and.
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening, but just not in
the way that I thought that it would at all.
And I'm so happy right now. This is the best
day ever in like ten years, well ten years ago.
You won me that stuffed ankleosaurus from the carnival, and
it was the most beautiful gift anyone's ever gotten me. Yes,
I still have him at home on my shelf, and
I think of you whenever I look at him. Then
hold it and cuddle it. No, I don't need you
to wipe my tears, but okay, I guess you can
wipe them. Hey, I think I think I'm ready to
get out on the rink with you as long as
you're still down for it. Yes, I mean it. You
inspired me to never give up more than any video
of a goat ever could. So I'm gonna go back
out there, and then I'm gonna frolic around like a
baby giraffe and and maybe you can help me, because
I'm probably gonna fall, but if you hold my hands,
then maybe you can help.
Speaker 2: Me stay up.
Speaker 1: And then afterwards we can grab hot chocolate and maybe
go to the mall for some Christmas goodies and pack
each other's stockings. That's so perfect. Okay, hold my hand
please interlocking fingers. M that's better near the best. Okay,
all right, we can do this. I can do this.
Just don't let me fall. Okay, yes, I trust you,
you know I do. The only reason I might.
Speaker 2: Fall is because I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I know.
Speaker 2: I won't look at you. I'll look at the ice.
Speaker 1: Let's rock and roll or rock and skate. Okay, I
got this. Just don't let go in my hand. Oh
my gosh, Hey, look, I'm not falling over look at me. Go.
This is actually a lot of fun, although it is
kind of cheating since you're basically holding me up, but
I don't care. I look cool, don't I.
Speaker 2: We look cool.
Speaker 1: Sign us up for one of those ice skating competition
things where they be flipping around and stuff, because we
will win.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe we're not ready for that yet, but I
don't think it's possible for me to feel bad about
myself when I'm with you, especially when you're looking at
me like that. Okay, I think you can let go
of me now. I want to see if I could
do it on my own. Let me try.
Speaker 2: There, see, piece of cake.
Speaker 1: I just needed some confidence and the support of someone
who means a lot to me. Hey, you know what,
let's make this fun. Whoever does a full lap around
the rink winds and the loser has to buy the
next round of cocoa. And I'm already ahead of you,
so looks like I get a head start. Oh yeah, Well,
if you want to tickle me, then you're gonna have
to catch me first. Watch this move he catch me
if you can
