How did the weekend go by so fast? I'm not ready to go back to school tomorrow! Argh!
Enjoy this chapter! :)
To Ask for Help
Katooni placed her hands on her hips as Petro stumbled across the ice. She bit the inside of her cheek to keep herself from giggling at his discomfort. "Do you want me to help you?" she asked, skating towards the fellow youngling. "Looks like you're having a hard time."
Petro glared up at Katooni. "No, I don't need help," he replied grouchily, trying to push himself off the ice. (Key word – trying.) Katooni watched on, unimpressed, and said, "You know, there really isn't any shame in admitting that you can't do something right." Petro snorted. "Look who's talking!" he exclaimed. Katooni rolled her eyes. "Well, if you'd rather stay on the ground, fine by me," she said lightly and started to skate away. "Don't say I didn't try to help you!"
Before she could get out to the open ice, however, Petro called, "Wait! Kat!"
Katooni grinned, whirling around. The boy's smile was sheepish and embarrassed when he mumbled, "Maybe um…" He gestured wordlessly to his skates. This time, Katooni laughed. She skated over to Petro and grabbing his arm, started to tug him up. "C'mon," she said cheerfully. "Let's see if we can get you to skate without falling over."
A/N - Just 'cause I love Katooni and Petro. :3 They're like the next Anakin and Ahsoka, guys, and no one can convince me otherwise.
Reviews are always great! Constructive criticism is okay, but flames are not!
