Ice Skating

I don't own Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue at all


Dana Mitchell couldn't help, but laugh at the sight before her. On the icy surface was Carter Grayson. He was rubbing his backside with a slight grimace on his face.

"It's not funny" he grumbled.

Dana tried to muffle her giggles, but they kept bursting out.

"Dana" Carter said trying not to let the whining tone enter his voice.

Dana just laughed harder.

Now why was Dana laughing? Well, Dana had just found out that Carter Grayson, the former Red Lightspeed Ranger and leader of the Lightspeed Rangers couldn't ice skate at all.

"Just help me up, please?" Carter asked.

Dana finally with her giggles under control helped Carter up. He made it to the side without falling and held onto the ledge for dear life. Like if he let go he'd plummet to his death. Dana shook her head letting her short blond hair sway back and forth. Mirth filled her eyes as she watched Carter.

"You're enjoying my misery way too much" Carter commented with a hint of a grumble.

"I am not Carter. I just didn't think you'd be bad at ice skating, that's all" Dana said as she tried to calm herself.

"Well I am not. I just never really learned" Carter said.

"Then why did you agree to come with me if you don't know how to skate?" Dana asked.

"We haven't spend much time together since we hung our morphers up. I wanted to see you" Carter said.

Dana felt a blush creep up her cheeks. She turned her head away so Carter wouldn't see it. She had always had a big crush on Carter since she first saw him. Spending time with Carter and getting know him as their time as Rangers just deepened her affection to the firefighter/former Ranger. Even now when they've been apart since they finally defeated Queen Bansheera and everything her feelings for Carter hadn't faded at all.

"Dana? Dana? Dana, are you alright?" Carter called.

Dana blinked and she turned to Carter.

"Huh, oh, what is it?" she asked.

"You zoned out on me. Are you feeling alright?" Carter asked with concerned laced in his voice.

"Oh, I'm fine. Just thinking. Wondering what everyone else is doing" Dana said covering up the fact she was thinking of Carter.

"Huh, well I know Chad is back doing his shows at the Marine Aquarium. Joel, well, he and Ms. Fairweather are enjoying dating. And as for Kelsey. I haven't a clue really. I haven't heard from her since she send me a postcard from her previous X Games event" Carter said.

"Oh, well Kelsey is enjoying life like she always is. Last I heard from her was she was at a mountain climbing event or something" Dana said.

"Right, well I know Ryan is working for your dad to make up for lost time" Carter said.

"Yeah" Dana said.

"Well I think since we've skated we deserve hot chocolate" Carter said.

"Well I skated, you fell, a lot" Dana corrected with an amused twinkle in her eyes.

Carter grumbled under his breath as he got off the ice and was on solid non-frozen surface. Yes, it was hard walking on skates, but at least the ground wasn't frozen and slick. They made their way to the stand and got the hot beverage and then found a place to sit near the rink edge. They slowly sipped so they wouldn't burn their mouths.

"So, ready to go another round?" Dana asked finishing her cocoa.

Carter groaned.

"Come on, I'll help teach you this time instead of laugh" Dana offered.

"Fine" Carter sighed.

"Great" Dana said smiling.

So Carter put on a brave face as he headed out back on the icy surface.
