Hey everybody, it's me, Naruhina43, with my third chapter of Stars on Ice. I just have a few things to ask.
1st. Please PM me with ideas for funny time skip lines, cause I'm almost out of ideas. (If you haven't read my story Revenge, it had a ton of them. So if you don't understand what I mean by time skip line, read it.)
2nd. Please tell anybody who might like this to read it. I don't care if it's a friend from school, someone from myspace, facebook, or even church. A long as you don't give them any of my personal information (good luck getting your hands on some in the first place.) Just make sure they come read. And make sure your methods are legal.
3rd. Please enjoy my story and comment.
"Hi Matsuri-chan, can I stay with you for awhile?"
Tsukasa had returned to Matsuri after leaving the others. Matsuri was standing behind the skate rental desk at the entrance of the huge ice rink. As Tsukasa had come back, she saw at least 5 more ice rinks on her way back, but she hadn't remembered how many there had really been.
"Couldn't skate very well?"
"Not at all."
"It's okay, I'm not either."
"Really?" Tsukasa thought that you had to be good at ice-skating to have a job their.
"Oh, yeah. The first time I skated, I fell down so many times, Mom had to drag me off, because I didn't want to stop, but she didn't want me to hurt myself."
"Oh, well I fell down a lot too, but-"
"You wanted to get off."
"Yeah."
"Well whatever. Just don't get in the way when someone comes. I wouldn't want to lose my new job so soon."
"Alright."
Meanwhile
"Why won't you take lessons from me Kagamin?"
"For the thousandth time, I'M ALREADY GOOD ENOUGH!"
"You can never be good enough in ice skating."
"Well apparently I'm an exception, because I'm good enough."
"Aawww please?"
"No." And she kicked Konata's skates.
Konata looked up from her sitting position on the ice.
"Now why does this feel like déjà vu?"
The three girls broke up into laughter
Suddenly Kagami fell face first into Konata.
"Now this is not the déjà vu I want to experience."
"Sorry Kagami-san, that was my fault."
"It's okay Miyuki."
"You like it. You know you do."
"Shut up Konata, I do not." She pushed up, only to have her arm pulled forward, and falling onto Konata, yet again.
She got up blushing heavily, with Konata grinning widely.
"And what are you grinning at?" Kagami snapped.
"Well I don't know about you, but I certainly enjoyed it."
Kagami gasped, and Konata just said
"Just kidding, I just like to make Kagami blush."
"Wow Konata, you really need a hobby."
Konata opened her mouth to retort.
"And I don't mean your obsession with anime and videogames."
Konata shut her mouth and looked down in defeat.
Back with Tsukasa
Tsukasa was getting very bored. She wanted to be back with her friends.
"Matsuri-chan, I'm going to go find the others again."
"Alright Tsukasa, just don't get lost."
"I'll try."
Several minute later
"Uh-oh, I've gotta go to the bathroom."
Luckily, there was one off to the right. She went in, and gasped at the huge line that had already built up.
"Oh-no."
Several MORE minutes later
"That felt good. Uh-oh, which way was I going? Oh-no, oh-no, oh-no, oh-no, oh-nooooo."
Tsukasa began to fret and was starting to be stared at by passer-by.
She decided to go to the left. She was seeing thing that looked unfamiliar, and she was started to panic. She had been walking for several minutes, and still no sign of anyone she recognized. As she started to panic and flail her arms, people started to stop and tried to help her. Unfortunately, Tsukasa was still too terrified to trust anyone.
"GET AWAY FROM ME! ONEE-CHAN, YUKI-CHAN, KONA-CHAN, HELP ME!"
She ran away yelling. Many of the people looked concerned, but were smart enough to not interfere.
Back with the others
"It's getting late, we should go back."
"Yeah Matsuri's shift should be ending right about now.
"But I still never got to give you lessons."
"You know what, if you promise to just shut up about lessons, I'll let you teach me ONE thing."
"Really?"
"If it'll get you to shut up, then yes."
"Alright. Well since we don't have much time, I'll just teach you a way to let you get the most speed, while still keeping your balance."
"Alright, so show me."
"Alright so first I'll do a lap the way your doing it, then I'll do a lap the way I'm teaching you, then you tell me what the difference is."
Konata went through the first lap at a normal speed, then shifted her position slightly, and took off at almost twice the speed. As she came back after the second lap, she asked
"So, did you notice anything different?"
"Well, uh you crouched some."
"Is that all you noticed?" Konata asked disbelievingly.
"Uh, yeah." In truth Kagami had been too entranced by the way Konata had gracefully moved around the rink to even pay much attention to how she was moving.
"Well then I'll show you." Konata said as Kagami came back to earth from her thoughts
"How are you going to do that?"
"Bend your knees." Kagami obeyed, and Konata walked around her, correcting her position, making sure she remembered how to get back into it, by telling her to go back into standing position, then telling her to get back into the new position. It took a many tries, and many awkward positions as Konata corrected her pose over and over again. Kagami blushed quite a few times, Konata noticed this, and tried her best to make it more embarrassing for the girl.
After awhile, when Kagami had successfully remembered and formed the position Konata had been teaching her, Konata started showing her, how to move in that position.
"So to start off. Move your left leg, forward, and then slowly push you left leg back, while bringing your right leg forward at the same speed."
"Uh, could you repeat that?"
"I'll just skate with you and give you instruction as you go."
"Alright."
Kagami got into the position, while Konata got into an entirely different position.
"Alright so start by putting one leg forward. Good. Now, what you have to know, is that you can't bring your legs off the ground while your moving, or you'll slow down. So slowly put firmly push off with your forward leg, as you bring your other leg forward at the same pace. You have to get into the feel of it."
And as she said that, she gave Kagami a push forward.
Kagami regained her balance, and used everything that Konata had taught her. Soon she was gliding along, swiftly dodging other skaters, and as she stopped in front of Konata, she felt grateful to her short sensei.
"Very good Kagamin. Now let's see how good you are in an obstacle course."
She collected the cones in the middle of the rink, that were put their for public use.
"Alright, so let's see you go around these." She had set them in a straight line, just for basics. Kagami didn't have any trouble. Next Konata put them in a big circle. Kagami had a little trouble, but managed to get through them pretty easily. Next, was a zigzag. Kagami had to go through it a few times before getting it perfectly. Then was a swirl that got smaller and smaller so that Kagami had to get tighter and tighter turns, which she failed in, and had to stop before she got angry.
"Oh, crap, we were going to leave half and hour ago."
"Oh, than we'd better go."
The three left the rink, taking off their skate, and changing them for their old shoes. Only after taking them off, did the girl realize how uncomfortable the skates had been. As they left they heard a commotion.
"GET AWAY FROM ME! ONEE-CHAN, YUKI-CHAN, KONA-CHAN, HELP ME!"
"Oh man Tsukasa, what did you do this time?"
"That's Tsukasa, always keeping things interesting."
They ran towards the source of the noise. People were backing away, so the girls had to fight through the crowd.
"Tsukasa!"
"Onee-chan, is that you?! Where are you Onee-chan?!"
"I'm right here!"
"Where?!"
"Right behind you."
Tsukasa turned around to see her older sister, and immediately jumped on her, breaking down.
"Oh, Onee-chan, I'm so glad you found me! I was getting bored, and I went to find you, and I had to go to the bathroom, and I came out and I forgot which way I was going, and I got lost, AND I'M GLAD YOU FOUND ONEE-CHAN!" She said this all quickly and while she was crying, making it very hard to understand what she was saying.
"Tsukasa, not here, you're making a scene. Let's go back to Matsuri, and we can go home, and you can tell us what happened."
"Al-all right Onee-chan." Tsukasa agreed, as she calmed down a bit.
After walking back to the front of the building, Matsuri had seen Tsukasa crying, and she hurried over, to hug and comfort her. She may make fun of her other sister with purple hair, but she had a very big soft spot for the cuter, more innocent of her little sisters.
