It had been two days since her encounter with Anu, and Fia was feeling happier by the day. She had traveled from her home to where she thought Rabbit Lake was, and was amazed at how large the expanse of water was. It was so enormous, it could be an ocean! Laughing, the puppy bounded down to the shore and looked at the water that was lapping at it. Beyond, she could see fish breaking the surface of the blue expanse, which was half covered in ice, half thawed. The weather was warming, no doubt, and it seemed that the fish knew it, too.

Fia suddenly wondered what happened to the fish when the lake froze over. Did the lake freeze all the way down to the bottom? Were the fish stuck in the position they were in until it thawed out? Fia looked out in amazement; what brave fish! She wondered if they got bored, being stuck in ice all winter.

The part she was in was covered in ice, and Fia took a tentative step onto the icy platform. Seeing that it seemed stable, she took another step and then another. This was easy! It was like walking on water! Giggling, Fia planted all four paws out onto the ice and pretended she was the captain of a mighty ice ship. "I am Captain Fia, and you all have to listen to me!" she exclaimed to the fish.

She could even imagine that her pretend boat was rocking back and forth, breaking from the shore and drifting out into the lake...which it was. Startled, Fia snapped out of her daydream and looked down - the ice floe that she had been standing on was no longer attached to the shore; it had broken off, and was now drifting towards the middle of the lake. Dismayed, Fia looked up. "Help!" the white pup cried out.
