Part One: Ice Princess
Mamoru walked into the small cafe and sat at an open table. He picked up a menu and was trying to decide what to order. Nothing sounded just right. ~ What to choose, What to choose? ~he silently asked himself. He needed to decide he only had a half an hour before he needed to head back to work.
" May I take your order?" The waitress asked. Mamoru looked into two pools of sapphire. The blonde looked at him nicely, she had smile so warm it could melt the polar ice caps.
"I... umm.... I... I don't know. Do you have any suggestions?" Mamoru asked.
"Well, we have a wonderful Chef Salad if that's the sort of thing you're looking for." She looked down at his menu to see if there was something else he might like, as she did so, the twin ponytails that protruded from buns on her head, bounced up and down.
Mamoru watched the beautiful girl as he leaned closer to read his menu. He cleared his throat. "I'll take the salad." He handed her the menu, she turned her smile towards him and said, "Coming right up, Sir!" Mamoru almost physically cringed, "Sir?" ~ I'm no more than three or four years older than her, she must say that to everyone. ~
A few minutes later the waitress returned with his salad. He looked to her name tag which read: Usagi Tsukino, From Tokyo Japan. "Thanks, Usagi." She smiled and walked away.
Usagi returned to the table and found a ten dollar tip on the table. She looked towards the street to catch a glimpse of the mysterious guy, she couldn't see him.
Skating around the rink, Usagi wondered about that guy who had tipped her that day. She speeded up as her routine went into it's more difficult moves. She whirled around and performed a double axil perfectly. The music died and her coach skated onto the ice.
"What are you thinking about?! I can tell your not concentrating on the program! Keep your head out of the clouds, Tsukino! Now do it again!" He skated once more off the ice and started the music over. Usagi sighed, this was going to be a long practice.
"Usagi, I know this great skater, he's a little moody...," Usagi thought to herself, ~ Just what I need a moody partner. ~ Her coach continued talking Usagi barely listening, all she wanted was to get back on the ice.
"Tsukino! Are you listening? He will be here in an hour to meet you. You can either rest or skate until he gets here, I don't care either way!" Her coach mumbled something as he walked away.Usagi skated off onto the ice and lost herself in the wonderful feeling of the ice under her skates and the coolness on her skin. She never saw the tall raven hared man skate onto the ice with her. She had long ago closed her eyes.
She knew this rink like she knew herself. The man skated up to where she was doing small figure eight's and cleared his throat. She turned and opened her eyes to be shocked to see the man who had tipped her that afternoon. His eyes were like no blue she could ever describe. He smiled at her as he realized it as well.
"Usagi Tsukino, Why didn't I realize it before. I'm Mamoru Chiba, I am your new partner."
