Alone in Darkness

[nokotchi]

January smiled at Eon. "Sure, that sounds fun." she chimed.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon held her hand and began to walk to the rink.

 

[nokotchi]

January smiled. "I can't even remember the last time I went skating." she said with a light laugh.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon smiled. "Oh, I do it all the time."

 

[nokotchi]

"It sounds like you really enjoy skating." January told him," I doubt I'll be any good at it."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Don't worry, I'll help you." Eon said, walking into the rink and paying for their admission.

 

[nokotchi]

January fidgeted a little and handed Eon the money it cost for her admission. "Here, you don't have to pay for my admission.." she said softly.

 

[YellowJedi]

"No, it's fine." Eon said, handing January back her money. He took their skates and went inside, putting his pair on.

 

[nokotchi]

"Ah, okay..." January whispered as she jammed her money back into her pocket. She followed Eon inside, slipping into her skates.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon stood up, and held her hand. "Ready?" he asked.

 

[nokotchi]

"Uh.... yeah." January replied as she stood up next to Eon, stumbling a little.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon skated over to the rink slowly, not wanting to make January fall.

 

[nokotchi]

January clutched onto Eon, afraid she would fall and make a fool of herself.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon held onto her. "Don't worry, you won't fall."

 

[nokotchi]

January nodded and relaxed a little. She moved forward stiffly, squeaking a little and scrambling when she started falling backwards.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon caught January. "Don't be so stiff." he told her, smiling. "Just do it like this." Eon quickly did a lap, catching back up with her. "You can't think too hard about it."

 

[nokotchi]

"Like this?" January took several strides forward, only slightly losing her balance once or twice.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Yeah, exactly." Eon said, giving her a smile.

 

[nokotchi]

January returned the smile and took another few strides. She then stopped and held her hand out for Eon.

 

[YellowJedi]

Eon happily held her hand, and continured skating.
