"Ready to go ice skating girls?" Usagi asked.
Rei, Ami, Makoto, Minako, and Yaten were over Usagi's house getting ready. They were going to go over Mamoru's house to pick up him, Seiya, and Taiki.
"Yeah, yeah. We're all ready to go. We've only been getting ready for the past 5 hours!" Yaten exclaimed.
"Hey, you took up a good 3 hours of our time, so don't be complaining." Makoto told her. "I-"
"Well, unlike you, who only takes about 3 minutes, I like to actually look clean and presentable, not like a dirt-bag, thank you very much!" Yaten cut in.
"Guys stop! Are you just going to fight the whole way there, because it that's the case then you can stay home." Rei said indicating to two chairs to get her point across.
"Who made you boss?" Yaten asked.
Rei sighed. "Well I'm not going to, or want to, have a bad night. We are going skating to have fun, not fight."
"Fine, lets just go. I'm getting tired of waiting." Yaten said as she walked out the door. The others watched her walk out.
"She must be in a hurry to see Seiya." Usagi whispered to Rei.
"Must be."
Yaten poked her head back through the door. "Well are you coming or not? I don't want to have to drag you out here, because believe me, I will make it as painful as possible."
"Nope! Nope! We're coming!" Makoto said as she grabbed the other girls' hands and brought them outside. "Lets go!"
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
"Ugh, Usagi must be holding them up." Seiya muttered to himself. Mamoru shot him a death glare. "Nani? What's wrong with you?"
"They're here!" Taiki called from the window.
"Finally!" Seiya said when he opened the door.
"Oh shut up." Yaten rolled her eyes. "Let's go." Seiya, Taiki, and Mamoru got their jackets and walked out the door with the girls.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
Yaten surveyed the ice. "It looks kind of small."
"Well it's the best there is. The rest are always so crowded." Usagi explained. "Lets go get some skates."
Usagi walked up to the woman behind the counter. She looked up and smiled at them. "Hi! May I help you?"
"Can we please have 9 pairs of skates?"
"Hai. Just give me your shoe sizes and manes, so we know when you return them." Usagi and the others gave the woman their names and shoe sizes.
"Arigatou." Usagi smiled as they went off to skate.
"Wait a second!" The woman called. Usagi turned. "Well I just wanted to give you my name. I'm Suketo. Incase anything happens or if you need anything, just come to me and I'll help you."
"Oh, ok. Arigatou again!" Usagi said as she bounced off towards the ice with her friends.
~~~~~~*~~~~~~
"See you on the ice Usagi!" Rei called as she skated off with Ami, Minako, and Makoto.
"Do you need any help Usako?" Mamoru asked her.
"Iie. You go skate. I'll eventually get this." Usagi told him as she messed with the laces of her skates.
Yaten looked over from where she was skating and saw Usagi still trying to get her skates on. 'It's going to take her years to put those on.' She sighed and skated over to Usagi. Usagi was muttering something to herself.
"Stupid skate…get on…waste of money…I think I got it…no that not right!"
"So are you going to skate with your skates or continue to talk to them? Because no offense or anything, but I don't think they're going to talk back to you." Yaten told her as she sat down.
Usagi blushed. "I…I wasn't talking to my skates."
"Let me help you." Yaten said as she laced Usagi skated up. "Ready to go?"
"That was quick!" Usagi said impressed.
"Yeah, well it's easy too. Now lets-"
"Um, Yaten?"
"Nani?"
"I can't skate." Usagi said quietly.
Yaten went by Usagi's and whispered in her ear. "I can't hear you when you talk low."
"I can't skate." Usagi repeated.
"Ugh! Then why did you want to come here?"
"To learn."
"Ok, fine. C'mon I'll show you." Yaten then grabbed Usagi's hand and skated out to the ice. "You're very wobblely." Yaten commented.
"I…I know." Usagi said trying to keep her balance.
"Just skate with me for a little while." Yaten said as he held Usagi's hand and helped her skate. Yaten helped her for about 15 minutes. "Do you think you can do it alone now?"
"Hai! This is easy!" Usagi exclaimed as she skated off.
"That was nice." Seiya said as he came up behind Yaten and grabbed her around the waist. "Since when did you and her become buddies?"
"Well the klutz had to learn sometime." Yaten said, glad that Seiya was behind her so he couldn't see how red her face had gotten. Seiya laughed and skated away. Yaten sighed. "Incoming!" She heard someone yell. She turned around and saw Usagi skating right for her.
"Yaten help! I can't stop!" Usagi yelled, just as she and Yaten collided. They fell to the ground with Usagi kicking her legs wildly. With Usagi kicking like a maniac her skate blade sliced across Yaten's head. Yaten screamed in pain as blood poured out from her head. Usagi stopped kicking and looked at Yaten.
"Yaten!" She gasped as she saw all the blood pouring onto the ice. "Hurry! Someone get Suketo! Call 911! Hurry!" Usagi yelled frantically.
Mamoru skated off to the front office. "Suketo-san! We need your help!"
"What is-" She stopped when she saw where Mamoru was pointing. "On my gosh! Ambulance! We need an ambulance!" Suketo raced off towards the phone.
Yaten heard sirens blaring, people screaming, and Taiki and Seiya telling her it would be ok. Then she passed out.
