Hello everyone! This is my first story so please review when you're done so I know what you think.

Disclaimer: I do not own Cory In The House but I do own the characters you've never heard of. ;)

Chapter 1

"C'mon you guys! This will be fun!" Meena tried to cheer up her friends as they walked to the new ice rink.

A few months ago, an ice skating rink opened up not too far from Washington Prep. Meena had been dying to go ever since she heard the news, but with school and all of the homework that's been dumped on them recently, she never got a chance. However, now that they don't have as much homework, Meena decided to check it out this Saturday...and she's taking Newt and Cory with her.

"Why do we even have to go? I don't even know how to ice skate!" Cory complained rather loudly.

Meena laughed at her 'overjoyed' friend. "Don't worry, I'll teach you."

Newt had seemed to be thinking about something throughout their walk. "But what if the ice melts and we all fall through it and into the water and drown?" He seemed a bit concerned.

"We won't fall through, Newt. They make sure the ice always stays frosen so nothing like that happens." Meena assured him.

Cory gave her a slightly annoyed look. "You have an answer for everything, don't you?"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few minutes later, they arrived at the rink. As they entered the building, they felt a rush of cool air wash over them. They tried to enter the rink but were stopped by a small brunette woman. She looked tough for a lady her size and she seemed to be somewhere in her late 30's. The woman studied each teen before speaking up.

"I'm sorry but this is a private session. You're going to have to wait your turn."

"Where can we wait?" Meena looked slightly disappointed that they were going to have to wait longer.

The woman pointed to a set of stairs on her right. "Go up those stairs and take a seat. You can watch from there until we leave."

The three friends walked up the stairs and down a long row of seats before sitting somewhere in the middle. The rink was huge! With what looked to be hundreds of rows of seats wrapping around it. There was a small wall between the first row of seats and the rink itself. It was definately built for an audience. There was faint music in the background, but what caught Newt's attention was what was on the ice.

There was a girl that looked to be their age practicing a routine. She had long blonde hair pulled up in ponytail and her bangs were constantly getting in her face. She was wearing an ice blue v-neck sweater with black gloves and her short black skirt twirled around her as she spun on the ice. She skated with perfected skill and grace. Newt watched her carefully, mesmerized.

About 15 minutes later, the girl skated toward the exit of the ice and sat down on one of the benches.

"Finally! It's our turn!" Meena said, excitement filling her voice.

"Hang on, guys. I'll be right back." Newt got up and heading down the stairs. He found the girl on the bench untying her skates. "You were really good out there."

She looked up at the sound of his voice. Her crystal clear, blue eyes locking on his. "Oh, thanks." She smiled at him, making him feel a little light headed.

"How long have you been skating?" Newt asked, doing his best to stay cool.

"Since I was about 5. I'm Tabby, by the way. I moved here not too long ago."

"I'm Newt! Welcome to DC!" She giggled a little.

"Thanks again! I'm a little nervous, though. Brand new house, brand new school..." her voice began to trail off.

"What school are you gonna go to?"

"Washington Prep. I start on Monday." This caused Newt to light up a bit.

"Really? Awesome! I go there!"

Tabby looked relieved. "Cool! Now I won't be by myself." She stopped and looked at the time on her cell phone. "I better get going. I have a lot to do until Monday." She finished putting her shoes on and grabbed her duffle bag.

"Okay. See you at school!" Newt waved as she walked out. He stood there in a daze.

"Newt! C'mon!" Newt shook himself out of his trance and turned to see Meena waving at him to come out on the ice, Cory struggling (and failing) to stay on his feet in the background.

Whew! My first chapter! I'm sorry if Newt seems a little OOC (as in smarter) but I'm doing what I can! Now it's time to click the pretty purple button and review please! Thank you!
