Hiya everyone! Well, this is my first EVER fic... so it should be
interesting to see what people think! O_X Please read and review, I need
your opinions and suggestions. Anyways, this is a Mondo/Rockna fic...
they're from the show "Mon Colle Knights" if you didn't already know. I've
always thought they're a really kawaii couple. So what better way to show
it than to write a fic about them? =D Oh and by the way, I don't own any of
the characters used in this fic. Except stupid old Jeremy. ;_; Lol.
NOTES: This fic takes place during Xmas break. They're in 7th grade, I guess. Mondo and Rockna aren't a couple yet. It's Mondo's POV.
Well enough with my babbling (I'll bet no-one even reads this part anyways, haha), so onto the fic! Enjoy!

Skating on Thin Ice
"Oh! Stop Mondo, it's ice-skating!" my mom cried. I stopped channel surfing and put down the TV remote. A young couple was gliding across the screen on ice skates. They were so graceful on the slippery ice. Every move was performed with perfection.
As the music they had been skating to slowly ended, the couple bowed and waved to the cheering crowd. Flowers and stuffed toys rained down on them. Their costumes sparkled in the bright spotlights.
I've always been a big fan of ice skating, and in fact I'm quite good at it myself. I took lessons at an indoor skating rink until I was 10 years old. That's when the schoolwork started to pile up, and since then I've pretty much lost track of my old hobby.
As if reading my mind, my dad then said, "We haven't been skating in ages. How about we go down to that new rink this weekend? And Mondo, you can invite a friend if you want."
"Sure, okay," I responded. I knew exactly who I was going to invite, too: my best friend, Rockna Hiragi.
I've known Rockna for pretty much forever, and we've been best buddies ever since we were little babies. But lately, I've been noticing something different about Rockna. Something... MORE.
For example, whenever I see her, I get this weird feeling. I feel really warm and happy, but at the same time, I almost feel like I've got to prove myself to her or something.
Also, recently I've been noticing how pretty Rockna has become. Her silky, emerald hair; her bright, sparkling eyes...
One time I told my other best friend, Jeremy, about all this. He thought for a little while, then looked me straight in the eyes and stated,
"You know, Mondo, I think you're in love."
My first reaction was, "In love? You've got to be kidding me. You really think so? But, how could I all of a sudden just fall head over heels for someone? I've just been having these feelings for the past few weeks or so, you know."
Then Jeremy explained hormones to me. I've never been so scared in my life. By the time he'd finished, my mouth was hanging wide open in shock in fear.
"So, you see," he concluded, "that's how sometimes you fall in love with people that you don't even want to fall in love with."
So, that's what these feelings were, then. Jeremy advised me to tell Rockna as soon as possible. But that's where my next question came in:
"Jeremy, what if I tell her and she doesn't feel that way about me?"
Jeremy swallowed hard and then answered, "Well, I don't honestly know, Mondo."
So, I was pretty much in a dilemma, then... torn between telling Rockna my feelings, which could either ruin our friendship or make us a couple; or just keeping quiet about it. However, I decided not to let it get in our way and ruin our day at the skating rink on Saturday.
That evening at 6:00, I called Rockna to ask if she could come skate. Rockna answered the phone on the second ring. She accepted, and I told her that we'd pick her up at 1:00 on Saturday. After we hung up, for some reason I felt very pleased and satisfied with myself.
Saturday morning arrived cold and frosty, but with the sun shining overhead. I woke up bright and early, filled with excitement. I was impatient for 1:00 to come.
I spent an unusually long amount of time getting ready. I must've changed outfits at least 5 times before settling on one. I tried to do something new to my hair, but I didn't like it once I'd finished. I changed it back to its usual style, and soon it was time to go pick up Rockna.
We drove for awhile, then finally stopped in the driveway of a large white brick house. I saw Rockna waiting for us, looking out a window. She rushed out when she saw our car approaching.
She was wearing a jean jacket over a striped sweater, and dark navy jeans. She had a light blue backpack with her, to hold her ice skates. My heart started to beat faster and faster as she climbed into the car and sat down beside me. She looked very, very pretty.
"Hiya, Mondo," she smiled, slightly out of breath from running out to meet us.
I smiled and put her bag in the empty seat next to me.
We chatted a little until we reached the rink. It was big, and looked clean and new. We entered the building. The air became only slightly warmer inside. Through some open doors, I could see a big, white ice rink. A few people were skating around.
Rockna and I headed to a few benches and changed into our ice skates. Then we wobbled over to the rink. As soon as my blade hit the ice, everything came naturally. I glided around the rink, faster and faster, but then suddenly...
"Mondo! Wait!"
It was a voice, a female voice, coming from my right... Rockna's voice. I swirled around and saw her, still standing behind the glass barrier that bordered the ice. She smiled and beckoned for me to come over. I skating over swiftly and steadily, and skidded to a stop right before I hit the barrier. Or at least that's what I meant to do. Suddenly I lost my footing. My skates were slipping, and I was falling forward...
BAM. Right into the barrier. I was lying flat on my stomach before I knew it, all the wind knocked out of me. I tried to get up, but ended right back down on the ice once again. I heard laughing nearby. My face flushed red.
Suddenly, someone was lifting me up into a sitting position. I looked to see who had helped me up. Rockna. And she had her arm right across my shoulders.
Her face looked worried. "Are you okay?" she asked. I merely nodded. "You took quite a fall there, you know!" she continued. Yes, I knew.
A small group of people had formed around us now. Some were pointing and snickering, others had looks of concern on their faces.
I stared around at them, and then slowly, I stood back up. Rockna did too. I wobbled a little, but Rockna helped to steady me. The group soon drifted away, leaving just Rockna and me.
I made an attempt to change the subject. "So, what was it you wanted to ask me before?"
She giggled. "I guess now's a bad time to tell you I don't really know how to skate."
I gasped. "I'm so sorry! I fogot... I mean... I thought..." I sighed and smiled at her sheepishly. "Would you like me to teach you?"
