My Life at Raimon

5. Preparation

"Seconds please!!" shouted kabeyama

"Me too." Shouted Midorikawa who seemed to be competing with kabeyama

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" exclaimed Aki, rushing up and down

It was 9 in the morning and we were all at breakfast, gobbling up our food, well not all of us. I was simply stirring my cereal round and round, until the pieces got all lumpy.

I was thinking about the flashback in my dream, how could my brothers still be alive? I kept pondering, looking into my soggy cereal, when a soft hand landed on my shoulder, it was Otto.

"Are you alright?" said Otto

"I'm fine!" I replied a little too quickly, I don't really think that Otto believed me, but who cared.

"take care okay?" said Otto; his eyes looked full of concern

"Why wouldn't I." I said with a smile

"Well we have to go for training now." Said Otto pointing to the rest of the team, walking out of the door

"Oh ... yeah." I said "you go ahead will meet up with you guys later."

"Ok then se digs senare!" said Otto exiting the room

What I didn't realize, was that there was still one person in the room, who had been watching the whole conversation.

"They don't even know each other so much and he already has a nickname for her?" thought Fubuki

I turned around and saw Fubuki staring at me.

"F-Fubuki what are you doing here?" I said surprised

"Oh, I just wanted to remind you that we have practice today the competition is tomorrow after all." Said Fubuki casually

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot, let's ask coach if we can slip out during practice." I said "we don't have to tell him what it is for but we can say that it's for a good cause."

"It would be better to ask Coach Hibiki, don't you think." Said Fubuki

"Ok then!" I said happily, skipping out the door

*at the training field*

"Is everyone here?" said Coach Hibiki

"Yes, coach." Said Midorikawa looking round "well except for her and Fubuki."

"Oh not those two again." Said Kazemaru angrily, remembering what happened the last time those two were left alone.

The whole team groaned

"What are you all groaning for," shouted Kidou obliviously angry "someone should go look for them before what happened last time repeats itself."

"No need to," said Otto calmly, pointing towards the entrance "there they come now."

"Good morning coach sorry we are late." Said Fubuki, bowing in respect

I bobbed a little curtsy as well

"That will be fine," said Coach Hibiki "just make sure it doesn't repeat itself."

"Oh and one more thing." I said.

I told Coach Hibiki about the ice skating practice quietly, and he nodded, with that, Fubuki and I exited the training field.

"Where the heck are they going those two can't be trusted!" said Kidou rather angrily to the coach

"They have some important business to attend to, and I'd rather that you didnt question my decisions." Replied Coach Hibiki

"I trust her I hope she will be fine though." Said Otto "don't worry guys everything will be fine."

"Yeah, Otto is right, let's just focus on practice for now." Said Endou

*meanwhile*

"What a nice ice rink you have in your school Fubuki." I said looking round

"I guess it is, I'm glad you like it." Said Fubuki with a smile

"I've made the preparations for our costumes," I said showing Fubuki a sketch "they are meant to look like this."

"Wow, they look amazing but... aren't they a bit revealing, the neckline for her dress is quite... what am I thinking? Umm, by the way we have to practice, the competition is tomorrow evening." Said Fubuki

"Yup, lets practice some more! I'm aiming for the top!" I screamed in delight

*time skip*

"That..... *pant* was *pant* so tiring." Panted Fubuki

"Yeah I can hardly breathe." I wheezed

"But I think we have perfected our routine now." Said Fubuki

"We sure have," I said happily "we better start making our way back its almost time for supper, and we've been at it all day."

"Yeah..." Fubuki murmured

"You know what?" I said

"What?" said Fubuki looking up?

"I just can't help feeling happy when I've completed a hard task;" I said "learning this ice skating routine wasn't easy, but..."

"We did it in the end, didn't we?' Said Fubuki

"Yeah." I said

"That's a good feeling." Said Fubuki
