Chapter 1- Meeting at the skate hop
New Years Eve is such a fun time for all the fairytale creatures in duloc and far far away. And every year, rabbit and Pinocchio would go and show off their skating skills. The smell of sparkling grape juice and party foods hit them just as they walked in. But that year, there were two new people at the party. In walked an elf named lee and a duck. They saw the skaters and went white. "Duckling, are you going to pee yourself nervous like me?" asked lee. "I think so" said duckling walking in and putting on her skates. Pinocchio and rabbit kept skating around and having fun. They stopped as they saw the elf and duckling come on. Duckling wobbled a bit and grabbed the railing. "Who are they?" asked Pinocchio. "They're probably new" said rabbit. As lee stepped onto the floor, Pinocchio couldn't help but stare at her beautiful face. She stepped on and fell flat on her butt. "I'll help her if you help the duck" said Pinocchio. "I'm cool with that" said Rabbit. They skated off and Pinocchio headed for lee. She struggled to get up but couldn't. "Need some help?" said Pinocchio. She looked up to see the wooden puppet and smiled a bit. "Thanks" she said as Pinocchio pulled her to her feet. "No problem. Are you new to this?" asked Pinocchio. "Yeah, I'm a bit flimsy and clumsy though" said lee as she tried to gain balance. She slipped but Pinocchio caught her in time. They looked into each other's eyes and stared in awe. "I got you" he said sweetly with a smile. She smiled back and he helped her back up. The speaker came on. "Ok, couple skating time" it said real loud. The lights dimmed and heart lights went around. Then Elton john's "can you feel the love tonight?" came on. She looked at him and smiled and he did too. "You want to skate with me? I can help you" said Pinocchio. Lee's heart was fluttering and she took his hand. He pulled her close and they started to skate along to the words as he gently pulled her along.
There's a calm surrender. To the rush of day.
When the heat of the rolling wind, can be turned away.
An enchanted moment, and it sees me through.
It's enough for this restless warrior just to be with you.
"See? You're doing great! Just keep holding onto my hands and never let go" Pinocchio said as he got in front and pulled her by both hands. "I don't think I will let go" said lee laughing.
And can you feel the love tonight? It is where we are, it's enough for this far eyed wanderer, that we got this far.
And can you feel the love tonight, how it's laid to rest? It's enough, to make kings and vagabonds. Believe the very best.
Duckling still struggled along the rail trying to keep her balance. Rabbit skated up to her. "Want to skate with me? I'll be with you every step of the way" said rabbit as he held out his hand. Duckling looked at him and smiled. She grabbed his hand and let go of the wall. She started falling but rabbit caught her. They then started to skate with each other.
There's a time for everyone if they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope moves us all in turn
There's a rhyme and reason to the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager beats in time with yours
Pinocchio got next to her and they started skating again. "You really saved my butt. I would've embarrassed myself if I fell over" said lee. "No problem. I'm used to skating" said Pinocchio. They looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

Pinocchio spun lee around on the skates and she screamed. But he caught her again just in time. As they looked into each other's eyes, they each started to breath heavily and smile.
It's enough, to make kings and vagabonds. Believe the very best.
The music had ended. And they skating continued on for another hour. Then came the fun part, the Dancing! Everyone went to the dance floor and boogied down to some awesome hits like the cupid shuffle, cha-cha slide, and cotton eye Joe and many other hits. "La bamba" started playing and Pinocchio and Rabbit saw lee and duckling dancing. They walked over and started to dance with them. "Hey ladies" said Pinocchio. "Oh hey! Thanks for helping me out" said lee with a smile. "No problem, I just think you needed it" said Pinocchio with a smile. "Some party huh?" asked rabbit. "Yeah, it's our first one!" said duckling as he danced with rabbit. All of a sudden, "Far longer than forever" started to play. Pino stared at lee nervous and so did she. "Want to dance duckling?" asked rabbit. "Ok" said duckling as she took his arm.
Lee and Pinocchio started to shake until Pinocchio held out his hand. "You want to dance?" asked Pinocchio shaking. She smiled and took it. They went to the dance floor and went right into it. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. They smiled and started to dance. Duckling and Rabbit did the same.
far longer than forever
i'll hold you in my heart
its almost like you're here with me
all do we're far apart
"I forgot to ask you your name" said lee as she smiled. "Its Pinocchio, my name is Pinocchio" he said with a smile.
far longer than forever
as constant as a star
i close my eyes and i am where you are
sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
we have unshakeable bonds
"Well Pinocchio, I am leaving tomorrow to go home to duloc" Lee said sadly. "Hopefully we can see each other again" said Pinocchio.
destined to last for a lifetime and beyond
Lee smiled at Pinocchio as she now took his hand and shoulder. Pino did the same.
far longer than forever ohhh far longer than forever
like no love ever known
and with your love i'll never be alone
like no love ever known
and with your love i'll never be alone
Pino and Lee left the dance floor and went outside to talk more about themselves.
far longer than forever
much stronger than forever
and with your love i'll never be alone
"You know, I'm sure that when we meet again, we will be like in our 20's or something" said lee as they walked hand in hand. "Yeah" laughed Pinocchio. They then heard inside people go, "Happy New Year!" and fireworks started to go off outside. Pino and lee looked at each other even thought they only met.
never, never be alone
They leaned in close
never ever be alone
They then closed their eyes.
far longer than forever
And with that, they ended their first meeting and night, with a gentle kiss.
