So I have realized that I unlike my character cannot ice skate. I suck at walking, I'll leave it to you to imagine how I do on ice skates. But anyways I went ice skating with my boyfriend last winter so that was what inspired this chapter. Enjoy.

One morning Jareth woke up to the wonderful smell of pancakes. When he came into the kitchen he found Jade setting a fresh stack of pancakes out on the table, a thin line of steam still raising from them.

"Morning sleepy head" Jade smiled as he came to sit down, "so today I thought we could go ice skating."

"What is that?" he asked.

"Honestly what do you do for fun?" Jareth gave her a 'seriously' look as she spoke again, "oh right, ruler, don't have much time for fun. Well I think it's about time you start."

With skates in hand the two walked down to a large pond not far away from the cabin.

"This ice is usually pretty thick, but just to be safe, could you make it a little thicker?"

"Of course, can't have you falling through" Jareth said as he waved his hand.

"Ok now we put on our skates" Jade said as she brushed off a rock before sitting down.

After Jade had her skates all laced up she noticed that Jareth was having a bit of trouble with his. Jade couldn't help the small giggle that escaped her, "here let me help you."

"No I got it, you go ahead. I'll get it" Jareth said, shooing her hands away.

Jade laughed and allowed him to continue as she glided out onto the ice. She stopped in the middle and closed her eyes. A soft melody started to grow in her mind, sweet and gentle like a lullaby. Jade raised one of her arms above her in a slight curl while her other arm was stretched out in front of her. There was a pause in the music and she opened her eyes.

A lone violin held out an almost sad tone as she pushed backwards and slowly turned in a circle. As the tempo changed she glided around the edge of the pond, slowly she rose up her left leg and made a perfect 180-degree angle with body and leg. Her arms raised above her body for balance. When the violin started a slow trill that became quicker Jade spun like a tornado with her arms reaching above her head.

Once the trill was done she gracefully spread her arms out and stopped her spin as she raised her arms once again as if in a silent praise. She crossed her arms across her breast as she closed her eyes then slowly stretched them out again so her hands were palms up as a soft note slowly faded. But what happened next surprised her. Suddenly warm hands were slipped into hers and a body came behind her, matching her pose perfectly. Jade could feel warm breath tickle her neck and ear as she opened her eyes to see those beautiful sapphire and sky eyes staring into hers.

Not a word was breathed as a cello now slowly started the music again and Jareth started to move. Jade followed his lead as the violin and cello sang in a perfect duet that matched the two's movements.

A beautiful dance started to form as the two continued. Their movements were perfect and flowing as if they had done this many times before. There was a moment where gold glitter rained down on the two and when it stopped Jade glanced down and saw her clothes had transformed into a beautiful figure skating dress. The dress was a deep ocean blue and the sleeves were white and covered with silver sparkles. His outfit was all black with silver swirl patterns around the v neck collar and his shoulder that gave off the most entrancing gleam in the sunlight.

The music finally faded to an end when Jareth pulled Jade in close with her back to his chest and one arm wrapped around her waist. Her hand was intertwined with his over her chest and Jade's head was turned so that her face was mere inches away from his. There was a moment of silence as the two caught their breath.

"I thought you didn't know how to ice skate" Jade said.

"And you believed me so easily. I have been in a figure skating contest many times that the nature elements hold every year in the Underground" Jareth replied simply.

"Why didn't you just tell me?"

"I thought it would be a nice surprise. Plus I didn't want to seem like a show off."

"Oh I think you have done plenty of showing off just now" Jade said, making them both smile.

So I thought that this scene would be a good change in a romantic scene. I haven't seen many romantic scenes while skating so it isn't an overused idea. So yeah, let me know what you thought.
