A/n:

I am very grateful to all of the people who submitted their reviews. What made me even happier is that "Love on Thin Ice" received more reviews at its first release than my first fic, "Destined to Be"! Thank you so much. I promise to make this one a success.

Oh, by the way, before I go, those who had already experienced ice skating (either professional or amateur as long as you know some stunts and how to do it…), please feel free to send in the techniques or stunts (either solo or with a partner) to my e-mail address found in my profile page. I would be very thankful for your help.

Bye for now!

Chapter 2: Paradise

"Lacus!" Cagalli called out to her friend.

Lacus turned around to the direction of her voice. She saw that Cagalli was already waving her hands wildly in the air.

Standing beside his girlfriend, Athrun began to shout, too. "Lacus! We're up here!"

Lacus knew those guys were already tired screaming their lungs out so she decided to hurry. Finally, she got to where they are.

"Sorry…guys," Her voice panting.

"Where had you been?" Cagalli asked as she offered her a bottle of water she got from her backpack.

"We thought you wouldn't make it," Athrun added.

After some gulps, Lacus got her breath back. "I guess I didn't notice the time plus, I quite overworked."

Cagalli stood up straight and placed her hands on her hips. "Yesterday at class, you overslept. Now, you overworked. Lacus, you're doing things over the edge. Please try to control yourself."

Lacus felt ashamed of herself. Her friend was right. If this continues, her life may get ruined. "I'm sorry, Cagalli. I didn't mean to get you so worried. I promise I won't do things over the edge again."

Cagalli smiled. Lacus was her best friend since kindergarten, so she couldn't help but worry if something goes wrong.

"Alright, girls!" said Athrun who placed his hands on both of the girls' shoulders, "Enough of this talk and let's have some fun!"

Both of them smiled and raised their fists in the air. "Yeah!"

In the meantime…

Just as he thought, the rink is empty again.

It was said that the rink had been hunted because of a tragic accident. The news was everywhere. The place exploded killing many people especially young skaters, since a junior skating contest was held. The whole world was devastated at the news.

The rink was rebuilt after a few months. People began to like the place until a rumor spread out. Someone thought he "saw" a ghost. Since that day, everyone was scared to go there. Without any other option, the management decided to close the rink and sell the lot. Unfortunately, the construction workers were scared too. Until then, the place just stood there, letting it rot to the ground.

However, for him, it was perfect.

It seems that the rink is his best friend. It's the only place where he can express himself freely. It was perfect.

Back to the three friends…

"Oh dear," Cagalli uttered, "I knew I should've worn my other jacket. The temperature here is even more than I could bear."

Being a gentleman, Athrun generously wrapped his jacket around her small frame. Cagalli suddenly blushed at his gesture and turned to look at him.

"I'd rather let my body be exposed in the cold than yours," he said with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Even though she loves being taken care of, she still worries about her boyfriend's condition.

"Yes, but make sure you take care of it!" he joked. That earned him a bonk in the head.

"You, jerk!"

"Ouch! That really hurts, Cagalli!"

"Good!" Cagalli's voice then softened, "But, even if you are a jerk, you are still the only jerk I will ever love."

Athrun's face brightened. "So you mean you forgive me already?"

"Hmm…let me think about it first."

"Cagalli!"

On the other hand, Lacus couldn't help but giggle at the two love birds. Even though she was walking a little bit ahead of them, she could clearly hear what they are talking about. "I just know they are right for each other," she thought.

Back to the mystery guy…

"No wonder, you're the hailed as the "Ice Prince"." a familiar voice rang out as Kira landed on the ice after triple-loop jump.

He turned his head to the direction of the voice. "You're here," he said with a happy tone in his voice.

The girl nodded then smiled.

"So, what brings you here?" Kira asked as he was taking off his skates at the bleachers.

"Nothing. I just wanted to see you, that's all," she replied with a smile.

Kira was almost finished taking off his skates until an idea formed in his head. He took her by the hand and led her to the rink. "Do you have your skates with you?" he asked.

She nodded. "You know that I always bring them wherever I am," she said with a wink.

After getting the skates and putting them on, Kira reached out for her hand and kissed it tenderly. "Princess Flay, may I have this dance with you?"

Flay blushed. Kira always has this romantic side that he only shows when they're alone. She smiled and held his face with her hands. "I would if you could catch me." Then, off she went.

Let the rain fall down


And wake my dreams


Let it wash away


My sanity


'Cause I wanna feel the thunder


I wanna scream


Let the rain fall down


I'm coming clean, I'm coming clean

He couldn't ask for anything more. She is the most wonderful person he has ever met and now, she is his.

"Gotcha!" Kira said as he caught her.

Flay giggled. "I knew you'll be able to catch me," she said with a smile.

He turned her body around to face him. He gently tucked in some strands of her dark pink hair behind her ear and looked at her lovingly. He slowly lowered his lips and started to kiss her gently. Flay, on the other hand, deepened the kiss by wrapping her arms around Kira's neck.

After a few minutes, Kira broke the kiss. He looked at her again with the same emotion in his amethyst eyes and placed her hand on his cheek. "I love you, Flay."

Flay smiled and gave him a brief kiss on the lips. "I love you too, Kira."

Kira smiled and kissed her on the forehead. He then, encircled his arms around her body once again for one sweet embrace.

For a moment, the cold surface turned into paradise.

A/n:

I'm very sorry for not updating for the past weeks. I had been very busy with tons of schoolwork and requirements to be done in every subject. I hope you forgive me.

My school day's are finally over! Yehey! That only means I have more time to do my fanfics!
