Theme: Roller Skates

"Come on, Setsuna-san!"

Minako moved effortlessly past her, deliberately showing off. Her blonde hair flew out in a curtain behind her and Setsuna could see Takehiko's eyes glance towards her young friend for a fraction of a moment. Of course, most men (about five on the rink alone) were openly staring at Minako. And Minako was highly aware of it. She was aware of how long and shapely her legs looked, how the shorts hugged her hips and pert bottom, how the exercise brought a becoming flush to her cheeks.

Setsuna was quite prepared to roller skate, but not so she could be a contrast to Minako. She would roller skate for fun only.

"You go ahead," she said calmly. "I'm waiting for the right moment."

Minako sighed. "Okay... if you say so..." She flew off, holding her arms out behind her as if she were ice skating or posing for a statue. Setsuna watched her go.

"Having fun?"

She jumped. Takehiko was standing beside her, also watching Minako, his mouth curled in amusement.

"She certainly is," Setsuna replied demurely.

"Would you care to skate with me?" he asked, turning to her. "I promise I'll go slow."

"Oh, and I was so hoping that you'd live a little," she joked, standing up and taking his hand as she stepped onto the rink.

"Living?" he said, pretending to be horrified. "Whoever heard of such a thing?"

"You've obviously led a sheltered existence," she smiled, taking the lead as they began to skate. "Life is for the living. And roller skating is a fun part of living."

"Fun," he said, as they separated, still skating at the same speed. "Another thing I haven't heard of."

"Oh, I don't believe that!"

"It's true, according to Minako-san." Again that amused smile, which she couldn't help returning.

"Well, Minako-chan's idea of fun is..." She glanced towards the end of the rink, where Minako was now talking to two boys and laughing very loudly.

"Different," Takehiko supplied.

"Yes," Setsuna said, turning away and suppressing the thought that Minako was probably not having fun at this moment, despite those two boys. She couldn't always look after people. She had to enjoy herself sometimes. They were friends, roller skating together. She wouldn't feel guilty about it.


Title: Back and forth

DISCLAIMER: Minako and Setsuna belong to Naoko Takeuchi, but Takehiko belongs to me. ;)
