Chapter I
We Meet Again
Mikan
"*pant*pant*" I huffed as I ran past stores and people. They all stared at me curiously, I don't care… I'm late! Damn! My mom's going to kill me!
I barged through the dressing room doors, yelling "I'm here! I'm sorry, I know I'm late!"
"Girls? What's the first rule?" my mom asked her students calmly.
"Never be late." They all said in unison.
"Ugh! Thanks guys, and I thought we were friends?" I asked dramatically, they all giggled.
"Mikan! Where have you been?" a worried voice asked me.
"Oh sorry, Hotaru. I got detention for flunking Math three times in a row." I whispered to her while she rolled her eyes at me.
"Get dressed later on, okay? There's someone I want you to meet after the recital." She ordered me.
"Who?" I asked her.
"Just get dressed, your mom looks like she's ready to kill you." She said irritated. I rolled my eyes. Oh how I know to what level my mom's patience in me is.
A little while later…
"Mikan! The girls are almost finished! You're up in 10 seconds!" my mom hissed at me.
"Okay, okay!" I hissed back while trying to compose my face into a happy one and I was also trying to keep myself sane. I took deep, slow breaths…
"Okay, glide, loop, axel, glide, triple loop, Lutz jump, repeat the seven steps three times, then layback spin going into a sit-spin, glide to the middle, bow." I murmured to myself again and again.
My last 10 seconds were up; I quickly glided around the skating rink, triple loop, axel, glide, triple loop, Lutz jump and I did those steps 3 times, I did a fast layback spin merged it into a sit spin and when I was finished, I bowed gracefully. My mom's students crowded around me and hugged my legs with yells like
"You were great, Mikan-neechan!"
"Teach me how to do the Lutz again, okay?"
"Do the sit-spin again, please!"
I just chuckled and smiled. And our little group bowed for the delighted audience.
Then the sound of an orchestra filled the rink. I turned around and saw someone skating towards me, he held out his hand and I took it (because my mom was signaling me to). I was confused. Who is this man with a black mask that covered most of his face?
Then he whispered into my ear. "Show me what you've got."
"Okay then…" I replied. I let go of his hands and skated to the far left corner of our skating rink. When I was halfway there I turned around then skated back, I did a triple Lutz jump then when I was near him he lifted me and we executed the throw triple axel move and I landed perfectly fine. The audience started clapping like mad. He glided to the left side, I glided to the right, we glided backwards preparing for a triple Lutz, and we landed fine. We were now shadow skating, which means we were doing the same moves, perfectly synchronized and that is without touching each other. Then we did a side-by-side camel-sit spin then I skated backwards, he skated forwards. I did an inside edge spiral in catch-foot position while he did the outside edge spiral in catch-foot position. Man, he was good. He skated around me while I did a really fast sit-spin and when I stopped we did a toe-loop then a Lutz jump again then the pair-sit-catch-foot-layback move. I circled the skating rink and he followed, I did a Biellmann spin then I bowed down for the delighted audience, I noticed the masked man was bowing beside me, too. I hugged him, even if I do not know him; he is a great figure skater. While I was hugging him, he whispered in my ear:
"You're good; I didn't know you've gotten this good. I was surprised when you didn't fall on your butt on your Lutz jump. Ever since we were kids, the Lutz jump was your weakness."
There was something in his voice that reminded me of my one and only childhood "friend/rival". Then it hit me…
"Oh my God… Natsume?!" I squealed. He smiled at me and took off his mask to reveal those gorgeous eyes of his…
Natsume
Is this really her? Is this really the Polka-dotted panties girl I teased when we were just kids? Man she changed… And she's better at figure skating too. I heard she won the gold medal in the sectionals for 5 years straight but then she just didn't want to compete on the next levels…
I watched her, my jaw dropped when she made that triple loop into a Lutz and she landed it perfectly. I remember her always falling down on the Lutz, but look at her now… she was great… Then a great idea struck me…
"Hey Dad, why not let her be my partner, huh?" my father looked at me then at her…
"Why don't you go and find out for yourself?" My Dad recommended… Not a bad idea…
And yeah, that is why I suddenly popped out of nowhere and danced with her… She was amazing. She was always in perfect synchronization with me, it's like we practiced it all our lives but the truth is, this is only my first move into skating my way back to her heart…
