Jack cursed as his foot slipped on the ice and he landed on his butt. Jaqulin laughed in mirth, her ruby eyes twinkling happily. The boy genius huffed as he scowled at his cousin who was literally skating circles around him.
"Ya know," she teased, "I bet if you had the monkey staff you wouldn't fall as much." Jack didn't reply as he tried to get back onto his feet; tried was the key word for he just found himself sitting on the ice again.
Jaqulin was now skating figure eights. Backwards.
"Why did you come with if you can't skate to begin with?" she asked. Jack snorted before trying again.
"Well I have to be able to do anything if I'm going to rule the world." He replied, happy that he stayed on his feet this time.
His cousin laughed as once again Jack found his butt planted painfully to the ice. She stopped skating and held a hand out to help him up, which he took gratefully.
"How about I learn to do this later? My butt's really starting to hurt." Jack suggested as he put a hand on her shoulder to steady himself. Jaqulin agreed and began to skate back to solid ground.
"We weren't even on the ice for twenty minutes and you already asked to head back inside." Jaqulin said as she stopped Jack from falling again. "Tell me, why did you really come out here?"
"Impulse."
The girl chuckled.
"That I don't doubt, dear cousin."
Just Jack and his cousin on a "no Wu" day. Hope you enjoyed!
