Pt. 2
Around 30 minutes later Wildwing walked into the Ready Room regretting earlier but thankfully hadn't run in to Mallory since then.
"So how'd it go Big Bro?" Nosedive asked glancing from the game him, Chameleon, Slapshot, Kat, and Akira were playing.
"Like fire on ice," he muttered taking a seat on the couch and deciding to watch the progressing game in order to clear his mind.
"She'll come around, don't worry about.Hey! You are so lying. Liar dude, liar!"
"Are you sure?" Slapshot asked with his poker face in place.
"Sure as the rink is frozen. The Divester is never wrong."
Slapshot nodded as the others watched them. "You caught me man,"
That said he took the pile of cards and tried to situate them in his deck while keeping up with who played what.
{If you are wondering the game is called Liar, and the objective is to get rid of all your cards first. To do that you play so many of each suite per hand, for instance if you have two 5s you put them down and say two fives and place them I the center deck like everyone else and the other person plays 3's and so on. Every time you have to put down the card that falls on you, so if 7 was the number and you didn't have one you'd take a random card and play it, saying one 7 or how ever many you place down. If another player calls Liar and you lied than you have to take the entire center deck, however, if they call liar and you played the real cards they have to take the deck. The game also has a more colorful title called BS (I won't translate that if you can't figure it) but I prefer Liar and the number who can play is limitless.}
Wildwing continued to watch for some time before growing tired and deciding to step into the rink for a little lone time skating.
Slipping on his skates, he headed towards the ice but stopped noting an all to familiar red head already there.
He turned to leave when she saw him.
"Wildwing wait," Mallory called skating to the siding box.
"Ya?" he asked turning to face her with a weak smile on his beak. "What's up Mal?"
"I wanted to, uhm, talk about earlier."
"Oh look, about that. Nothing big, all right? I totally understand."
"Shh, no you don't," she answered as she took a seat on the bench and motioned for him to do the same.
He complied, seating beside the beautiful mallard.
"About my reaction, it wasn't that I dislike you or anything, it was just that."
"I understand Mal, you just don't like me like that."
"Shh, I'm talking Wing," Mallory answered placing a finger over his beak. "Let me finish. That's your problem, you know? You underestimate yourself and then jump to conclusions. The reason I reacted like I did earlier is because, well, . I was scared. And before you say anything," she added as he opened his beak. "The answer is because I like you too Wing. I was shocked by what you told me, I was actually hoping for the same thing." She smiled brightly.
"Really?" he asked looking up into her eyes.
"Really, or may I never touch a puck again,"
Wildwing smiled and just looked at her for a moment feeling for all the world he had just won The DuCaine Tournament back on Puckworld. "Mal, do you want to skate with me?"
"Sure,"
Both stood and skated out onto the ice, hand in hand.
They circle the ice for a moment before coming to the center.
"Want to see something interesting?" Wildwing ask her.
"Why not,"
"Good, watch, and no laughing,"
"Promise," she laughed wondering what he was about to pull.
"Alright," Wildwing skated away from her a little ways, putting on an extra burst of speed before throwing himself into the air, spinning gracefully before make a perfect landing.
(I adore figure skating and personally can't wait until Saturday and Sunday to watch the World Tournament. I fell in love with it after watching the Olympics on year.)
"Well?"
"Wow, that is so cool!" Mallory answered. "Why would I laugh?"
"Dunno, most people just don't figure ice dancing and hockey really mix well,"
"Oh I see, not the mocho thing? And you have been into that since when?" she asked with a warm smile.
"Well, there were hatchling days,"
"And ho young do you call a hatchling?"
"Anyone under 15," he laughed. "If you ever wanna make Dive mad org et payback, that's the way to go,"
"I knew you had a secret to controlling him. Pure black mail,"
"Hardly,"
"I didn't say I disapproved. So Wing, off your brother, can you do anymore?"
"Tons, and Dive can too. We used to have our own little competitions at home," Wildwing smiled at the memory.
"And who won?"
"Never found out, we usually ended up in a snow ball fight or something of the sort before everything was said and done,"
Mallory laughed again. "Figures, so can you show me?" She asked rather bluntly but polite enough about it.
"Sure, how bout we cover the ground work first?"
"You're the teacher, so yes sir, sir." She smirked.
"Okay, let's do a few arc spends, hm? First I'm going to put my arms around to your back like so like so," he said doing everything he said as he spoke. "Now you place your arms around my neck,"
Doing as she told Mallory looked up at the taller mallard. "So basically an ice waltz?"
"A lot like it yes, I'm starting with the basics. Except instead of turning small circles with one another we make a loose one and extend our arms to meet. This hold we are in is where we meet in the middle. Understand?"
"I think so. So we are at arms length making large circles,"
"And eventually getting to where we can move around the ice while doing that," Wing interjected.
"Right, and we slowly move into smaller circles, getting closer holds on one another all the while, until we meet,"
"Exactly, wanna try it?"
"Okay," she answered as they parted.
Trapping her hands within his they began the sequence and met in the middle.
Though it wasn't as graceful or done as well as it could have been, Mallory was doing really good for her first time.
"There, easy. You're a natural,"
"Thanks," she blushed lightly letting her head fall to his chest.
A few seconds later she looked up and their eyes met.
With what seemed like slow motion, Wildwing bent down slightly allowing his beak to meet hers in a kiss.
Author's note: Well, what do you think? I decided they needed their relationship to get started. The next chapters will probably be into what's happening in the Pond before I return to the baddies, but I have plenty in mind for them too. Just wait.
Thanks for reading and if you would please review. I'm actually on a roll her and more reviews may make me post faster, hint hint.
