SailorStar9: This is Chapter 4 of this fic. (Sighs) Guys and girls, is it too hard for you to leave a review, instead of just putting this fic up on your favorited list and story alerts?

Disclaimers: I own nothing, except for the plot bunny.

Chapter 4: Ami's Cold Ice-skating


"I thought it was cold…" Miwa poked the frozen street after school. "It's frozen."

"I wonder if I'll be okay at the skating lesson tomorrow." Ami mused.

"It will be alright." Kai assured. "Even if it's your first time, you will be able to skate in no time."

"You think so?" Ami wondered. "I'm a little worried, but I'm still looking forward to it." She beamed.


"It's cold again today." Ami shivered, stepping out of her house the next morning and hurried off the school.


"She's good." Miwa gaped, as he and Kai watched Ami head onto the ice rink and began to skate effortlessly. "It doesn't even look like it's her first time."

"Are you two alright?" Ami skated over, both boys having slipped on the ice. "Sensei is very good at this." she spotted their homeroom teacher guiding a student.

"No kidding." Miwa nodded.

"You won't trip if you keep your legs shoulder-width wide, and move slowly." Ami advised.

"Everyone sure is doing their best." Kai noted.

"Yeah," Miwa nodded. "I hope we can all skate together in the afternoon." He sighed, the class trying out a mid-stride turn.


"Ami, lunch!" Miwa called, after the class broke off practice for lunch.

"Hold a sec." Ami shouted back, beginning a slow layback spin and ending her short routine in a classic sit-spin position.

"Are you really sure this is your first time skating?" Kai asked, astonished at her skill.

"Let's eat!" the trio chorused, breaking out their respective lunch boxes.

"Sensei." Ami blinked, as their teacher glided past, skating smoothly and easily over the surface of the ice. Her coppery hair swished as she turned mid-stride to skate backwards, with hardly a break in her momentum.


"Kai's getting better." Ami noted, the three children returned to skating practice after lunch with Kai skating more confidently along the rink edge.

"Nothing less from him" Miwa nodded.


"Sensei?" Ami blinked, finding her teacher by the snack bar, purchasing several trays of hot chocolate.

"Would you take these to everyone?" the maths teacher smiled.

"Hai." Ami beamed.


Pleased that her teacher trusted her to deliver this treat, Ami skated easily amongst her friends and passed out the drinks as Miwa skated towards his best friend.

"You're staring, Kai." The blind teased, the brunette's eyes followed Ami unwaveringly.

"Shut up." Kai muttered, his attention diverted and causing his skates to go out from underneath him, sending him lying on his back on the ice.


On the school bus after the skating lesson, Ami looked amusedly at her arguing teammates who were seated in front of her.

Kai shook his head. "You're thinking too little."

"Yeah, and you think in the broader term?" Miwa retorted.

"Well…" Kai said.

"Nah." Miwa said. "That didn't work too well. How about…"

"Nah, we don't have the time for that." Kai countered. "How about…"

"What?" both boys heard Ami's chuckle and turned to the female member of their team.
