Alrighty….I have been on hiatus for sometime and if anyone who reads my other stories is reading this please be patient I'll be updating those soon. As for those who are just stopping in this is my new FAVORITE coupling and when this idea came to me I couldn't help but want to put it out there. Plus it didn't help that I was watching the SOCHI figure skating.
Please bare with me I am not a figure skater so I am going to do my best to describe things but like I said bare with me, I am using wikipedia and all that to better understand the skating world.
DISCLAIMER: I do not own and Disney or Dreamworks characters or places so please no one sue me!

NEVER LET SUCCESS GET TO YOUR HEAD, NEVER LET FAILURE GET TO YOUR HEART
"Elsa! Look over here sweetie!", she heard her mother yell, the seven year old girl turned gracefully on her skates and struck an exaggerated pose as her mother took a picture. It was her long awaited first debut on the big ice and to say she was excited would have been an under statement. Her pale blonde hair was French braided and tied with a violet ribbon to match her sparkling violet leotard and skirting, a color picked to make her stand out since her skin was an alabaster white with a dusting of light freckles. With a sparkle in her icy blue eyes she made her way to the center of the ice, waving to the crowd as she slowed to a stop and took her stance.
"Welcome to the In House Junior skating competition everyone and thank you for coming out to support your local ice lovers. Up first is our very own little ice princess Elsa Arendelle age seven for her very first debut, good luck to all tonight", the announcer went silent as well as the clapping and shouts from her family. Taking a deep breath Elsa listened as her music started to play and as the first eight count of music finished she came to life. Skating was like breathing to her there was no audience, no competition just her and the ice.
Having started skating at five she quickly felt at home on the ice and was picked up by her current coach. It was by accident and unexpected. She was at the public skate with her mother and father who both had ice in their veins. Her mother a figure skater in the past and her father a hockey player. Anna who was two at the time joined them as well, almost unable to move from being bundled up in layers of clothes.
After watching an older girl skate around the rink and practice a few jumps Elsa looked down at her own skates and then at the open ice. Pushing away from her father she wobbled slightly but got her balance quickly and attempted to mirror the girls movements. Attempting one of the jumps she had seen she fell down on the ice but refused to let tears fall as she rose and tried again, this time landing and gliding to a stop. That was all she wrote. Elsa was hooked and wanted to learn more, calling to her mother she stopped when she saw Ms. Alice speaking to her. And thanks to that day she was now a performer. As her program came to an end she came to a final pose and listened as applause and cat calls filled the dome.
"Great job Elsa", her teammates cheered as she stepped off the ice and grabbed her blade guards, a smile still on her face.
"Thanks! Hey Mina good luck out there", a dark haired girl smiled as she pushed off onto the ice.
Turning back to grab her gym bag she caught sight of a boy lounging on the bleachers in a pair of dark wash jeans and a white t-shirt, his piercing blue eyes watching her from beneath white blonde hair which was pushed down by a black beanie. As Mina's routine music filled the rink he seemed to snap from a trance and drag his eyes from her to the ice. Shaking off the want to ask him what his problem was she walked back to the buffer where her teammates rested.
"Hey Kahara who is that?", she tried to discretely point out the boy behind them but Kahara's sudden gasp and blush had all the girls turning to look back at the boy.
"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh that is Jack Frost", her voice jumped slightly from it's started whisper as she turned to hide her blush. Elsa watched as the girls around her also began whispering and taking on their own blushes that had nothing to do with the cool temperature within the rink. Biting her bottom lip she glanced back at Jack again and then looked back at Kahara before lifting her shoulders in a slow shrug.
"Who?", as soon as the words left her lips she regretted it.
"You don't know Jack Frost?", Kahara took on a completely devastated look as Elsa giggled.
"No", she answered with a shake of her head, stealing a quick glance as Mina landed a jump that she had been having a hard time with in practice and with a final set of spins her program ended.
"Jackson Overland?", Kahara continued regaining Elsa's attention.
"Yeah, no", Elsa laughed as Kahara moved so Mina cold get off the ice.
"I cant believe you, he is just one of gods gifts to the male's single skating universe".
"You mean Jack?", Mina interjected as she smiled up at the boy in question before joining them.
"Mina is sheltered and she knows who he is", Kahara sighed and smacked her self in the forehead.
"Hey I am not sheltered, I'm devoted", she argued and Kahara stuck her tongue out.
"Alright ladies lets focus, the male singles are next and then we have a special guest who has traveled to our very own little DunBroach Dome just to perform for us", their coach interjected making all the girls jump. Elsa looked over her coaches shoulder to see that Jack had vanished from his resting place.
"Ms. Alice was that Coach Pitch we saw earlier?", Elsa looked at Kahara and then her coach who smiled brightly before nodding.
"Yes it was, so look alive', turning to leave she paused and looked at Elsa, 'Good job by the way kiddo". With a wink she turned and left the girls chatting merrily amongst them selves.
"That's why he is here", Mina jumped and clapped her hands.
"Why who is here?", Elsa asks making Mina groan.
"Do you ever pay attention?', she sat down on a bench and pulled Elsa down beside her, 'Viktor "Pitch" Blackard was an elite skater, having made it to the Olympics even-".
"I know that!", Elsa interrupted with a pout.
"Anyways, Pitch has been taking on only a hand full of talented skaters to get back to the Olympics and his most recent is-".
"Me", a voice behind them made all the girls jump slightly, Elsa turned to look behind her as Jack approached them. He now wore black skates with the traditional black slacks and his shirt was a white long sleeved accented with a silver decorative snow flake on his back. As he passed by she noted his tall and lanky form and the way he watched the currently performing skater.
"Which program will you be performing?", Kahara asked softly from his other side.
"That's for me to know and you to find out", he turned around and winked at the girls making Elsa roll her eyes as her teammates swooned.
"Jack", the deep and clipped voice gained all their attention as Jack's coach appeared with Ms. Alice at his side. Young Elsa took a quick study of the man as he approached his height a startling thing at first. He wore black slacks and a fitted black winter coat and she now understood why people called him "Pitch" do to his constant choice of black attire which matched his dark hair and eyes but made his skin look almost ashen and grey.
"Yeah, yeah focus. I got it.", Jack responded making her jaw drop for a moment the boy's ignorance shocked her. Watching as Pitch gave a tight smile she took a small step away from Jack, a bad decision as his eyes snapped to her.
"So this is Elsa Arendelle", she nodded slowly and took his offered hand in a stunned shake.
"Our very own Ice Princess", Ms. Alice commented.
"I look forward to working with you in the future", he said making her gasp and look to her teammates some of them smiling while others pouted.
"A-as do I Mr. Bla-".
"Pitch, just call me Pitch. Now if you lovely young ladies would please give me a moment I need to speak with my pupil", they all nodded and Ms. Alice was quick to usher them away. Elsa paused for a moment to watch as Jack and Pitch conversed their words seeming to look anything but pleasant.
"Elsa! Elsa!", hearing her younger sister Anna call out she moved away from the private conversation and smiled.
"Did you see?", she asked as she kneeled down.
"Yeah! I wanna skate!", Elsa giggled softly.
"Soon Anna, soon", their mother commented as Elsa stood up and looked at her.
"Mama did you see?", she asked while clapping her hands as her father now came into sight.
"Of course I did what did he say?".
"That he looks forward to working with me!", they both shared an excited squeal of joy making her father grimace.
"Who looks forward to working with you?", he asked as he picked up Anna and rested her on his hip.
"Pitch!", they both answered making him look at Anna who shrugged.
"Now I know how Kahara felt", Elsa laughed.
"Elsa! Your gunna miss Jack!", looking to her mom who smiled and took her gym bag she raced over to her friends and took a seat on the bench to watch. Looking out onto the ice as Jack circled and did a few turns to warm up she couldn't help but marvel at how he looked so at home just like she felt. Making one last circle he stopped a few feet from the rink edge right in front of her and brought his pale fingers to his lips before extending his hand out and pointing at her with a wink as he curled his finger. Blinking wide like an owl she watched him skate to center ice and take his starting stance with a cocky grin on his face as he watched her.
"Challenge accepted…..Jack Frost", she smiled before getting to her feet and walking away from the ice.
