Old School Week Skateboarding In the Courtyard

[Ajaccio Skey]

Ajaccio didn't have much time to skateboard any more. He did it more on holiday, but with a free period he had decided to come outside with his skateboard and began skateboarding around the courtyard as he'd done lots of time before.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma was bored, she wandered around the courtyard looking for someone to hang out with. She spotted Ajax and grinned, waving at him. "Hey, Ajax!" She said, running over to him.

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

Ajaccio drew to a stop on his skateboard as Emma rushed over. "Hey Emma, how are you?" he asked with a friendly tone.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma grinned and came to a halt near Ajax. "Hey, I'm good." She said, glancing at his skateboard. "I forgot you did that, it's pretty cool."

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

Ajaccio laughed lightly and nodded. "Yeah I don't get to nearly as much as I used to do it," Ajax told her with a little laugh. "I miss it. Did you ever?" he asked motioning to the skateboard, asking if she'd ever skateboarded.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma grinned at Ajax. "Busy being the perfect boyfriend for Nicole?" She teased. It was still a bit strange that her friends were dating, even if she was also dating someone herself. When had they grown up? Emma shook her head. "I've never tried." She admitted. "Can I?"

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

Ajax laughed at her comment, "Of course," he replied. "Here," he handed Emma the skateboard. "Have at it!"

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma took the skateboard from Ajax and looked at it for a moment. Then she put it down and hopped right on it. Unfortunately, it slipped away from under her immediately, making her fall and land on her butt. "Ouch!"

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

Ajax walked Emma and swore a little when she fell. He walked to her, "Emma? You okay?"

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma frowned and muttered under her breath as she got to her feet. "How do you make it not do that?" She asked Ajax, frustration clear in her voice.

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

"It's a lot about practice and balance, the more you do it, the easier it becomes," he told her with a little smile.

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma frowned. "Isn't there just a spell to keep it still or something?" She complained as a lot of practice sounded boring to her.

 

[Ajaccio Skey]

"Well, that would stop it moving," he told her. "Probably,"

 

[Emma van Houten]

Emma frowned. "I suppose that's not really what we want." She mused. "Can I try again and hold onto you?"
