Landon parked his car and looked at his watch. Right on time. While looking over Jamie's list, he had noticed #17, skate on an ice skating rink when no one else is using it. He wanted to make it come true, it just seemed like such a Jamie thing to want. Simple things like that always made her happy, and that made him happy. He smiled.
"Ready?" Landon asked, looking over at Jamie, who was staring at the building before her. She looked at him. "17?" she asked, her voice shaky.
His smile faded. She seemed scared. But this was on her list. Didn't she want it?
"Yah, 17....it was on your list, didn't you want to..you know, do it?" Landon asked, confused.
"Of course! It's not that, its just, well.....I don't know how to skate. Maybe that's why I wanted it so badly," she said, laughing slightly.
"You mean you've never Ice Skated before?" Landon asked.
Jamie looked down, slightly embarrassed. "Nope. Never" she whispered. Landon only smiled. "Good" he said.
Jamie looked up, a questioning glance on her face. Landon's smile on got bigger.
"I can teach you" he said, stepping out of the car and opening her door for her. "Lets go" he said, holding his hand out. Jamie grinned and took his hand, shutting the car door behind her.

Jamie looked at the ice with a smile as Landon came around behind her, his skates in hand. She had already put her's on, and honestly couldn't be more excited than she already was. The ice was abandoned and she was finally going to check off #17.
"Ready to rock?" Landon asked, once his skates were on. Jamie nodded her head and took his hand, getting a bit nervous. Landon sensed it.
"Hey, don't worry. It's a piece of cake" he reassured her. She nodded again, smiling wider.
"I'm ready" she told him, gripping onto his hand.
"Okay, now when we get on the ice, just lean on me for support. I'll let you hold onto the rail too, you'll get the hang of it once you get on the ice" Landon instructed.
"Okay" she replied, egar to actually get on the ice and skate.
But as Jamie soon discovered, it was NOT as easy as it seemed. The ice was way too slippery, though it helped to have Landon and the railing to hang on to. She almost fell 2 or 3 times, but Landon caught her.
"This is so much fun!" Jamie said, after she was steady enough to not hang on the the railing for balance and could skate more towards the middle.
"Isn't it?" Landon agreed, trying to keep up with Jamie. "Hey slow down!" he exclaimed when she broke free and laughed, skating by herself rather fast.
Her laughter echoched as she skated around faster, than slowed down a bit. Landon heard her inhale and scream slightly as she hit the ice. The inevitable had happened.
He couldn't help it. It was just so funny, looking at her sitting there on the ice, arms crossed around her chest, a look similar to the one she had on her face the day he came to her house after dissing her in front of his friends. He laughed.
She glared at him, shocked that he would laugh. He skated over to her, and threw himself down on the ice, hard. She broke in to laughter, looking at the smug smile on his face.
"Sorry to laugh but you thought you wouldn't fall huh?" Landon asked.
"No!" Landon just looked at her. "No.....maybe.....ok yeah! I was doing good!" Jamie laughed.
Landon smiled. "Everyone falls. Come on". He pulled Jamie up and began to skate around with her again. They stopped in the middle of the ice. Landon leaned down and kissed her.
"See?" he asked. "All better." Jamie grinned, taking off around the ice by herself again. Landon laughed.
"You trying to ditch me?" he called after her.
She smiled. "I'd tell you but, than I'd have to kill you" Jamie shot back.

Later that night, after Jamie had fulfilled her number 17, with Landon watching since he couldn't be on the ice at that time, the two were still at the rink, eating purple cotton candy and sipping cokes.
Jamie laughed. "This has been so much fun. I mean, hey, any guy who will find purple cotton candy in a world dominated by blue is a guy you can trust!" she joked. "Thank you" Jamie told him.
"No problem" Landon said smiling.
"I love you" Jamie said.
"I love you too" Landon replied.
