Okay everybody,hold the apples,oranges,pineapples,mangoes and papaya's
please.Before you pelt me on the head for writing another story before
completing the others,I just want to say....can one of you guys foot
my hospital bill if I'm seriously injured after you throw those fruits
at me???


~ Chapter 1: Dance on Ice ~

  "Alright,Darien...that's enough for today!!Eddie wants to shut the
rink now.He's got a family,you know!!"shouted the man to the dark haired
skater on the ice.
  "Keep your pants on,Todd.I'm coming."replied the skater.

  At 24,Darien Darkholme is an international champion ice skater and
also the heart throb to millions of adolescent teenage girls.With his
dark winter looks and championship skating,it was no wonder to the reason
he'd been given the nickname,the 'Ice Prince'.
  Todd Jimmings,a 40 year old with a receding hair line sighed at his
charge's good looks.Midnight hair and ocean blue eyes.Cold eyes.
Todd shivered at the thought of being at the recieving end of those eyes.
  At least Darien was not given to bouts of temper.He never needed to 
rage at the offender.All he needed were those piercing eyes that turned 
frosty blue,freezing the offender in mind.Never,not even under extreme
provocation did Darien Darkholme raise his voice.

  Unlacing his skates,Darien cast a glance at his agent and coach.Why
in the world was he wearing that frown on his face???
  "Something wrong Todd??"asked Darien.

  "Nah...I was just thinking about the National Championship skating
coming up.You're going to have lots of competition in the men's singles
event.Especially the pairs.You need the perfect partner who can keep up
with you,Darkholme."said Todd wrinkling his brow.
  "Are you forgetting who you're talking to,Todd??I'm Darien Darkholme,
champion of various national and international men's singles."said Darien
arrogantly.
  Todd rolled his eyes.*Oh..the man DID have an ego.*

  "Right.The 'Ice Prince'."muttered Todd sarcastically.
  "What's THAT suppose to mean??"asked Darien eyeing his agent with a 
frown.
  "The fact remains to be,your highness...you need a partner who can
keep up with that energy of yours."pointed out Todd.

  Darien slung his skates over his shoulder and stood up.Raising an 
eyebrow,to the sarcastic tone of his agent.
  "What about Ann or Beryl??They did pretty well,the last time."

  "Ann Maddison??You make me laugh,Darien.The girl can't hold a candle
to your skating!!Why,she'd be pale in comparison.You'd make her look like
a clumsy ox on the ice!!"laughed Todd.
  "Beryl??"prompted Darien,fascinated to hear his coach's opinion on
their skating.
  "Beryl Darkstar is alright.Not as bad as Ann.But by God!!That woman
is so snotty and arrogant!!She's promiscuous and vindictive!!She thinks
she's so great."spat Todd.
  Darien raised an amused eyebrow.He knew Todd didn't like Beryl,but he
had said her skating was alright.
  "I'm arrogant.How is it,you're my coach and agent??"asked Darien.

  "Because I'm going senile."muttered Todd as he walked beside Darien.

  Darien gave a crack of laughter."I've got a skating date with Beryl
tomorrow.Maybe she's improved."
  Todd snorted."I doubt it."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Serena Fairchild exhaled,her breath coming out to meet the cold air.
Winter was such a practical time for practice wasn't it??So what if she
only had a year left before the Nationals??
  Passing by the park,she noticed men seemed to stop and stare or turn to
look back at her.It was irritating.Hadn't they ever seen a girl walk 
through the park before???
  *Men...and they profess to be the superior gender.*scoffed Serena to 
herself.

  At 22,Serena Fairchild dazzled and turned heads.Her silver blonde hair
brought men to stare.Her aqua eyes flashed with spirit.And her body
brought unwelcomed leering such as her skating got her unwanted media
attention.
  Her success in skating plus her demeanor to the media,earned her the
nickname,the 'Ice Princess'.
  Only her closest friends knew her icy and aloof attitude belied a warm
heart that had been shattered years ago.

  "Serena!!"called a voice.

  Turning around,Serena saw one of her bestfriends.Mina Fielding.Her eyes
darted to men sitting on the bench in the park.One of them had practically
fallen out of his seat at the sight of the famous actress.

  "What's up??"smiled Serena.
  "What's up??What's up???!!Why haven't you called any of us??We've missed
you!!"exclaimed Mina enveloping her friend in a hug.
  "I've been busy.Mark has been adamant I practice.He's been on a short
fuse lately.He practically tore out his hair trying to decide on a 
partner for the Nationals."laughed Serena.
  "Well,what else when he has to get the best??"asked Mina.
  "I don't see why the choice is so difficult??He could call in 
Alan or Jed."sighed Serena.
  "Serena!!Are you joking??You positively LOATH Jed Summers!!"
  "True,but only because he loves to yank my pigtails.But I tolerate him 
because he's Raye's boyfriend."pointed out Serena.
  "Quite true.But he's also your cousin."
  "That too.So,how are the others??"
  "Oh shucks!!I almost forgot.I went to your house to find you.Since you
weren't there,I went to your rink.But Will said you'd left-"
  "Just get to the point,Mina."laughed Serena.
  "You up for a little lake skating??"grinned Mina."The others told me to
tell you."
  "Now??"
  "Yup!"
  "Anytime!!"smiled Serena.
  "Of course..you have to promise nothing fancy.You know the rest of us
can't keep up with your fancy shmancy moves on the ice."teased Mina
nudging her friend.
  "Oh shut up!!"laughed Serena.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Darien watched as couples and friends skated past him.He had to wonder
why he'd decided to do more skating.One would have thought he'd be sick
of it.
  He sighed moving around on the ice slowly.Out of the corner of his eyes,
he saw girls stare at him and others sigh only to fall on the ice.He
tried not to shake his head in disgust.The lake was full of girls hoping
he'd skate over to talk to them.He recognized their hungry and mooning
gazes.
  From the bank,Todd watched as Darien skated aimlessly about.Sounds of
laughter and screams caught his attention.Turning to another portion of
the lake,he saw 9 girls skate haphazardly about laughing.They seemed
happy enough.A silver haired blonde caught his attention.Her hair was
tied into the strangest hairstyle.It looked like two buns with streams
of hair hanging from them.His brows knitted.The woman looked familiar.
  She executed a triple twirl flawlessly.Then,the answer hit him.Of
course!!The girl was Mark Callahan's 'Ice Princess'.Mark had shown him a
picture of the girl the last time he'd visited his friend's home.She was an 
international champion skater like Darien.He'd seen her name in enough
newspapers all over the country.
  Todd smiled as an idea formed in his brain as he watched the girl
skate.She was spectacular.She'd do perfectly....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Serena sailed into the rink the next day.A determined no-nonsense look
on her face.Ready to step on the ice and go through a vigorous training
session.
  "Fairchild,get in here!!"shouted Mark.

  Serena lifted an eyebrow.Mark was calling her into his office??That was
rare.Mark Callahan had never deemed anything important enough for her
attention.All he'd wanted from her was to be able to perform her routine
flawlessly.That was all he'd wanted and he'd made that clear.He didn't
want her to ask his opinion on the routines she'd worked out.As long as she
made the cut with the judges,he was happy and proud.
  *Maybe it's about the partner for the nationals.*thought Serena to
herself.She couldn't have been more precise than that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Meanwhile on the otherside of town~

  "So,Darien darling...has that coach of yours decided on your partner
for the nationals??"purred Beryl as they skated.
  "I don't think so.He was turning his mind inside out trying to choose
a suitable partner for me."replied Darien with a shrug.
  Beryl ran her eyes up and down Darien's lean and atheletic frame.His
movements were as graceful as the panther's.
  "Mmm...I see what you mean.You wouldn't want a pussycat partnering a
panther now,would you??"
  Darien shot her an amused glance.
  "Which one am I??"asked Darien innocently.But he already knew she'd
likened him to the panther.
  "I could be your partner.I haven't found one yet."smiled Beryl 
seductively.Her green eyes slanting him a look.

  Darien turned to stare at the redhead before him,who was casting him a
hungry gaze with those slanty green eyes of hers.Todd was right,Beryl
Darkstar's skating was not exactly on a par with his.Probably because she
didn't practice enough.She probably used that voluptuous body of hers
to sway a couple of judges into her favour.
  "I don't know,Beryl..you have to discuss that with Todd."said Darien
airily,dismissing the suggestion without so much as a blink.
  Beryl frowned at him.Then,she noticed Todd sitting in one of the
bleachers.Breaking away from Darien,she skated towards the man and came
to a halt in front of him.Darien right behind her.
  "So,DO you have a partner in mind for Darien??"asked Beryl haughtily.

  Darien watched as his coach's lips quirked into a grin of mischief.

  "As a matter of fact,I do."Todd answered calmly.
  Darien turned his full attention to his coach in surprise.When had he
decided???Why hadn't Todd informed him of it???
  "Really??Who??"asked Beryl.
  Darien was silent waiting for an answer.

  "Serena Fairchild."

  Darien's eyebrows knitted.*Serena Fairchild??Where have I heard the
name before??*
  "FAIRCHILD???You're partnering Darien with Fairchild???*hissed Beryl.
  Todd met her glare coolly."That's right.I've already talked with her
agent about it.He agrees wholeheartedly."
  "When did you speak to her agent??"asked Darien his brow furrowing.
  "Yesterday,of course!!"
  "Why didn't you tell me??"
  "Mark and I only made the decision last night,Darien.You don't have
to fly into a fit.I promise you,the girl is perfect."
  "What can you expect from one,whom the media calls the 'Ice Princess'??"
hissed Beryl wrathfully.
  "The Ice Princess.I remember...she's the international and national 
champion for womens skating."said Darien snapping his fingers.
  "Right.Mark's probably lowering the boom on her right now."laughed Todd
as he walked away to his office.

  Darien and Beryl continued to skate in circles on the ice.

  "Congratulations,Darien darling."said Beryl venomously.
  Darien arched an eyebrow."What for??"
  "Ever met Serena Fairchild??"
  "No."
  "Seen her picture??"
  "No."
  "Heard about her??"
  "Of course.The media says she's a fantastic skater!!"
  "Also a real snotty ice queen."spat Beryl.
  "Oh??"replied Darien.
  "That's right.Congratulations Darien.You've just got yourself a partner
from hell.A real bitch."
  "I wouldn't worry about it,Beryl...if I can handle you,I can handle her."

  Beryl stared at him with shock."You son of a-"
  Darien was off the ice with a laugh before Beryl even had a chance to
finish her curse.
  Whoever Serena Fairchild was...she couldn't be worse than Beryl..
could she???
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Serena entered her agent's office.He didn't acknowledge her presence.
He never did.Casually seating herself in one of Mark's comfy chairs,Serena
waited for him to speak.
  "About your partner,Serena..."

  *And here comes the news..*thought Serena wryly.
  "Is it Jed or Alan??"
  "Neither.I've struck an agreement with Todd Jimmings..."
  *Todd Jimmings??Who in the world-*
  "Your partner's going to Darien Darkholme."

  Serena frowned.Was she supposed to be leaping for joy??What??
*Darien Darkholme??Sounds familiar..Darkholme..who-*
  Mark stared at Serena for a few moments.Her brows were scrunched together
in deep thought.She looked adorable.
  "Alright Mark,I give up.Who the heck is Darien Darkholme??His name 
sounds familiar enough,but-"
  "Gods breath girl..don't you read the papers???"asked Mark with a laugh.

  "Mark,you know how I feel about the paparazzi.I hate it."
  "But you must at least read the news??The sports section??The comics??
The GOSSIP column??"
  "The stuff they write on the papers are as bad as the stuff on the 
magazines.All little things blown up so big to fill some poor idiot's
head.Besides...you know I don't read gossip.It's all pizzazz and no fact."
  Mark smiled.That was his Serena...full of passion for the REAL things
and facts in life.
  "Well...assuming you watch the TV news...have you ever heard of the
Ice Prince??"questioned Mark.
  Serena's pink tongue came out to moisten her lips.

  "Ice Prince.I guess so.He's the champion of various competitions.
Including the mens international and nationals.I believe Ann Maddison was
his partner for the last nationals.The news said Darkholme was doing fine
and would have won if Maddie hadn't flopped it by falling."laughed Serena.
  "I gather you know of him then??"

  "Of course!!But I've never met him or seen him before.I think Beryl
was his partner for the Internationals.He nearly won the pairs too if she
hadn't wobbled like a duck when she landed after her triple axle.Poor guy.
I always told Beryl she had two left feet and shouldn't do anything too
difficult."
  Mark smirked."Yes well..maybe the two of you stand a good chance at
winning the pairs this time.We'll be meeting with him and Todd in about
two hours."
  Serena wrinkled her nose.

  "You HAD to choose a snob didn't you??I can just imagine him now,
arrogant like hell and with an ego the size of Texas.Then there's those
usual good looks,sandy blonde hair and brown eyes."smirked Serena.
  "Serena,Darien has-"
  "Don't ruin my image Mark...please."said Serena.

  With a sigh,he nodded.*Darien a blonde??I shudder at the thought.*

  "Out of my office,this instant!!What a chatterbox you are!"Mark laughed
good naturedly.
  "Sure...blame the skater,why don't you??"
  "Out."grinned Mark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~Two hours later~

  Darien dug his blade into the ice.Sliding his blades back and forth.
Executing a perfect 360,Darien sighed.He eyed his agent's office.In one
day,he'd insulted Beryl and was informed his partner would be a person
completely unknown to him.
  *The Ice Princess....*Darien's lips curled into a smirk.Beryl had said
she was a snotty ice brat.Well she hadn't said the word brat...but it 
would suffice.He could see her now...
  A stuck up woman with soot black hair and ice blue eyes.Her lips would
be full and pouty.Her nose sharp and her body,tall and slender.She'd
probably weigh about as much as a tooth pick and STILL complain she was
too fat and go on a diet.
  Skating several laps round the rink,Darien got bored.Todd had said the
silly chit and her coach or agent were coming here.So,where WERE they????

  Todd walked in,a man with a head of silver hair beside him.By his side
was a petite girl with silver-blonde hair and another with a head of 
raven locks.
  Todd was smiling.

  "Mark,I'd like you to meet,Darien.He and your Ice Princess are going
to sweep the judges off their feet.Darien,this is Mark Callahan."smiled 
Todd.
  The silver haired man looked Darien over.Finally,his face broke into a
smile.
  "Good to meet you,I'm sure you and Serena will be fabulous together."

  Darien smiled.Turning to the two girls,Darien stared at them.
"So...which one of you is Serena??"
  To Darien's surprise,it was the blonde who answered.

  "I'm Serena Fairchild.It's a pleasure to meet,you Mr Darkholme."
  Darien arched an eyebrow in amusement.
  "Likewise,I'm sure.Call me Darien."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Serena stared at the dark-haired man who was now her partner.He was
nothing like she'd imagined him to be.Instead of sandy blonde hair,he had
hair like the darkest night and instead of brown,he had the most beautiful
and mysterious ocean blue eyes she'd ever seen.
  *Snap out of it Serena.You're beginning to sound like a lovesick groupie.*
scolded her brain.
  "That's a very interesting hairstyle,Serena."
  Serena eyed him suspiciously.
  "It looks a lot like meatballs."grinned Darien."How about that??
Meatball Head.I think it suits you."he laughed as he began to circle the
rink aimlessly.
  "My hair,does NOT look like meatballs."hissed Serena coldly.

  "Really.You know,I imagined you to be skinny and tall.You don't look
like a cold person at all."
  "Well,I'm a paradox.You're not what I imagined either you rat."
  "Calling names already,Miss Fairchild??How unbecoming."rerimanded
Darien.
  "Look in a mirror."

  Darien smirked.Serena Fairchild was a delightful surprise.She wasn't
at all like he thought her to be.She had spirit.
  "Can you do a triple axle,Meatball Head??"asked Darien as he executed
a triple axle flawlessly.
  Serena's lips turned into a smirk."My name is Serena.But it's Fairchild
to YOU.And for your information Darkholme,anything you can do...I can do
better."replied Serena scathingly as she executed a triple axle of her
own.Also flawlessly.
  "We'll see now,won't we??"
  "Of course."

  Their eyes met.The challenge was given and accepted.

  *I'm going to win,Fairchild..*
  *We'll see about that,Darkholme.*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~An hour later~

  "You're not such a bad skater,Fairchild."smirked Darien.
  "Funny..I was just about to say the same thing to you."replied Serena
wiping her forehead with a towel.
  "Who was the girl with you??"asked Darien curiously.
  "My friend.Raye Johnson.She's a social worker..mostly charity work."
  Darien's brow furrowed."Her name sounds familiar...-"

  "Of course it does,she's my girlfriend."laughed a voice.
  Darien turned and smiled at the blonde man coming up with the raven
haired woman.
  "Jed.What brings you here??"
  "Came to pick my girl up and of course,and to offer my cousin my
heartiest congratulations."grinned Jed.
  "You??Congratulate me??Jed,I think you'd love to pull my pigtails more
than congratulate me.Besides...why WOULD you want to congratulate me??"
questioned Serena wrinkling her nose.
  Jed grinned and gave her pigtails a teasing tug."Cousin...you've just
been saddled with the most arrogant,obnoxious,heart-stoppingly handsome,
his highness the Ice Prince."laughed Jed.
  Darien gave him a punch on the arm and Jed feigned pain with a grin.

  "Shut up,Summers."grinned Darien.
  "Besides..I think I've already figured it out for myself,Jed.You also
missed out horrid,irritating,exasperating,egoistic,jerkiest and most 
idiotic."smiled Serena sweetly.
  Darien glared at her."Is that anyway to describe your partner,Fairchild?"
  "Definately."

  Turning back to Jed,Darien's face was solemn and serious.
  "Summers...you have my sympathies."sighed Darien.
  Jed eyed him in surprise."What for??"
  "Because I never knew you had such a loud motor mouthed,outrageous,
meatball headed,unbelievable hellcat for a cousin."sighed Darien with
sham woefulness.
  Serena's mouth opened and shut like a goldfish.
  Jed stifled a laugh.

  "Darkholme...you have just signed your death warrant.Which of course,
will only be effective after the nationals."said Serena her eyes blazing
with murder.
  Darien smirked."Give it your best shot,Fairchild."
  "Oh,I will.Mark my words,I-"

  "Darien,darling."drawled a voice.

  Serena sniffed disdainfully.The only person in the world who she knoew 
whose voice dripped of honey was....Beryl Darkstar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Darien stared in surprise.After the incident three hours ago,Darien
Darkholme had expected Beryl Darkstar to be screaming bloody blue murder
all over town.He did NOT expect her to waltz in here as if it had been
the most natural thing in the world.
  "What are you doing here,Beryl??"Darien snapped angrily.
  "Why,darling...you didn't actually expect me to stay away from meeting
your lovely partner do you??"smiled Beryl her eyes fluttering.

  Serena made a gagging action,which wrung a grin from Darien.Beryl
turned towards Serena.
  "Sereba darling...how have you been??"asked Beryl with fake enthusiam.

  Darien frowned.He knew Beryl had purposely said Serena's name wrong just
to spite her.

  "Hello Beryl...I see you still haven't been able to get rid of that
nasty drawl of yours.And my name is Serena not Sereba."replied Serena
icily.
  "Always the Ice Princess,aren't you,Serena."spat Beryl.
  "Oh,only to you,Bebe dear."Serena answered.
  "Bebe???"echoed Darien before he could stop himself.
  "You didn't know,Darien??Beryl used to be called Bebe in college.Beryl
was her middle name.Her first name is Beatriz.Or have you changed it 
legally now,Beryl??"
  Beryl gritted her teeth."It's only Beryl now."
  "Bebe hated Beatriz.She said it sounded dull."smiled Raye.

  Beryl's gaze landed on Raye.Her gaze narrowing.
  "I remember you...you,Serena and those other girls..all inseperable.
What's your name again??Rail??Rein??Rye??"
  "Raye."
  "Ah...Raye.Such a dreadfully common name,you should change it to
something more elegant.Raylene or Rayeanne.But I must go now..toodles."
  Serena and Raye watched Beryl go.

  "Bitch."swore Raye.
  "She always was."spat Serena coldly.

  Darien raised an eyebrow at Jed.

  "Beryl hated Serena and her group.Serena always won her in things.
Getting the best guys attention,the prom queen right down to the academic
grades.Of course..Beryl was no Einstein."sighed Jed.

  "Are the two of you,GOSSIPING???"came Raye's voice.

  "Wouldn't dream of it,darling."grinned Jed as he swept to Raye's side.
  "I'll see you later,Sere.Me and Jed have a date."smiled Raye as she
and Jed left the building.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Serena and Darien stared after the couple.Then,turned to each other and
eyed each other.
  "Another round,Fairchild??"offered Darien as he bowed slightly,keeping
his eyes on hers and offering his hand to her.A smirk on his face.
  Serena stared down at him haughtily.

  Placing her hand in his,Serena glared at Darien.

  "I despise you,you know."she said boldly.
  "I would not have any other way,Miss Fairchild."he grinned as they
stepped onto the ice.A song began to play.

  They twirled about on the ice,their movements fluid and synchronized.
Their actions in perfect harmony with one another.
  Serena dipped in Darien's arms and he brought her back up.They skated
in figure 8's then did a synchronized 360 and double axle.

  Darien held Serena by the waist as they skated backwards.

  "I'm winning,Fairchild."teased Darien.
  "In your dreams,Darkholme."retorted Serena.
  "Are we skating or dueling??"
  "We're doing BOTH.This is a battle on the ice,and I'm determined to
win."
  "What makes you so sure you're going to??"laughed Darien his lips
brushing her ear.
  Serena sucked in her breath and pulled away from him.But Darien who
seemed to have anticipated that,caught her wrist,spinning her round to
meet his face.
  A dance on ice.

  Serena tried to tear her eyes away from Darien's dark ones.Eyes that
held her mesmerized as they spun and twirled.Dipped and leaped.As the
song ended,Serena realized her face was so near Darien's...her heart 
almost stopped beating at the gaze he was giving her.
  "Do you surrender and admit defeat,Miss Fairchild???"grinned Darien.
  "Never.And that's Ms.Fairchild to you."breathed Serena.

  Darien threw his head back and laughed.

  "Fairchild...you're really something different."
  "Is that a compliment or an insult,Darkholme?"inquired Serena.
  "A compliment."
  "Then I thank you.Tonight's battle is a draw then."stated Serena as she
moved towards the side of the rink.
  Darien's lips quirked into a grin.

  "Serena..."

  She turned to look at him,her eyes sparkling and her cheeks rosy from
exercise.She lifted an eyebrow in question.
  "Tonight may have been a battle and tomorrow may yet again be another.
But the war has yet to be fought,my sweet."grinned Darien mischieviously.
  "Then we shall see who will go down in defeat.You or I."replied Serena
as she stepped off the ice.
