Ice Skating

It was the first snowfall of the year, and because of that, Kate Marsh was beyond excited. Winter was in fact, her favorite season, her favorite time of year. She walked across the hall, knocking on Max Caulfield's door. An idea was swirling in that pretty head of hers, and she had to get it out. "Kate?" Max inquired as she opened the door.

"How well can you ice skate?" Kate asked with a small smile.

"Ice skating? Seriously Kate?" Max replied with slight disbelief.

A pout surfaced on the blonde's lips. "Aw come on Max, it's my favorite thing to do and I have no one to go with." She explained, a slight pleading to her tone of voice. Ice skating was another one of Kate's hidden talents. Not many people knew how good she was at doing it. She was more than ready to show off her skills.

"Are there even any skating rinks around here?" Max questioned.

Kate nodded, "There's one right outside of Arcadia Bay."

Max merely sighed, and stood there weighing the pros and cons of going ice skating with Kate. On the plus side, she'd get to spend time with Kate, one of her best friends and have some fun. But on the bad side, she didn't know how to ice skate for shit, and she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of Kate. Ultimately, she decided to go, "Fine." She gave in.

Kate grinned and grabbed Max's hand, pulling her out of her dorm. "You won't regret this Max, I promise!" She said as they walked to the bus stop. Approximately forty minutes later, they were standing outside a rather large ice skating rink. Kate's heart racing with excitement; she couldn't wait to feel that rush of being on the ice again. It had been so long.

"Do you come here a lot?" Max inquired.

Kate nodded, "As much as I can." She answered as they walked inside and purchased a pair of ice skates. Max found it pretty amusing that Kate was so excited about all of this. The way her brown eyes lit up at the sight of the ice warmed her heart. She reminded Max of a child; full of innocence, light, and life.

Once they had their skates laced up and ready to go, Kate didn't waste any time in getting out there, and Max was at a loss for words. The way she twirled around was full of elegance and grace, and Max knew she had never seen anything any more beautiful in her whole life. And Kate was good! She looked like a professional figure skater or something along those lines. "Holy shit Kate." Max said in awe.

Kate made her way back around to Max, who was still on the regular, holding onto the wall so she could keep her balance on her skates. "What are you waiting for? Come on out." Kate encouraged.

"I, uh, actually don't know how to skate." Max revealed.

"It's not that hard." Kate replied, spinning around in another circle.

"No offense Kate, but you look like you've been skating since you came out of the womb." Max laughed. But it was true, Kate had mad skills, and Max had no idea that she was so good.

Kate laughed too, "Not the womb, but you're pretty close." She then extended her hand for Max to grab. "Come on, I won't let you fall, promise." She smiled, giving Max butterflies. The brunette looked at her hand, and then up to her eyes, and back to her hand once more. She trusted Kate, so she took the girl's hand, and stepped out onto the ice. She didn't feel like she was going to fall yet, so that was probably a good thing.

And that's when Kate began to skate slowly, leading Max around the ice, holding onto her hand with a vice grip. "Kate, I don't know about this..." Max trailed off, her legs becoming a bit shaky. It was hard to keep your balance on those damn skates, she didn't know how long she'd be able to keep this up. She didn't want to ruin Kate's fun already.

"Give me your other hand." Kate ordered as she spun around to face Max, grabbing both of her slender hands. She then began skating backwards, pulling Max along with her, spinning in circles, twirling, making Max laugh. "See?" Kate said, "I told you I wouldn't let you fall."
