Holo-deck 2

Music sounded in the background of the skating rink as Iria skated and danced along in time to the beat and tempo. She was wearing a costume:

along with ladies skates in black. She sped across the ice a smile on her face as she danced and spun and jumped with each crescendo of the music.

The Dream Within was the next song that she started skating to, she didn't miss a beat as the second song started with a much gentler tones. She kept time with the swell of music and tempo and after the second song finished Iria called for a pause on the music and turned to face the entrance of the holo-deck.

Jenny stood framed in the doorway, a pair of skates slung over her shoulder. "Hey, I saw that a skating program was on, Mind if I join you?" she asked as she walked through the entrance and took a seat on the side of the rink. "It's been so hard to find the time to practice lately, I hope I'm not too rusty." She added as she began lacing up a pair of well worn white skates, she was dressed for the occasion in training gear, a fleecy white jacket and full length white unitard underneath, a practical counterpoint to the engineer's elegant costume.

Iria nodded, with a delghted smile, "More the merrier this rink has enough room for 48 folks to skate at same time and not run into each other." She waved a hand at the background, "Got a song in mind or do I keep my playlist going next song is a bit more upbeat." Iria asked as she waited for Jenny to take to the ice.

"By all means, keep going." Jenny encouraged as she stepped out onto the ice and moved into a quick warm-up routine. Her movements were assured, if indeed a little coarse, with more of the kinks working themselves out as she moved.

Iria waited for a count of fifty before she asked the computer to resume playing music from her random mix, the next song started playing as Iria started skating again she passed by Jenny and grinned as the beat of the tune picked up in tempo.

Jenny started off as Iria swept past, coming alongside the engineer and slowly matching her movements until the two were gliding around the ice in synchronicity. Jenny let the music flow through her, and enjoyed the feeling of speed and of working her body, it was great to be alive. Soon enough she was showing off a smile from ear to ear.

The song that played next was Immortals. Iria laughed softly and shook her head as she and Jenny sped over the ice dancing together like mirror images.

Jenny floated along propelled by the melody, and relished the opportunity to leave her cares behind while she was on the ice. As the song proceeded she split off from Iria and began to dance a counterpoint, taking gradually to the air with leaps and spins, showing off just a little.

Iria laughed lightly as she added in a few triple lutz jumps to her moves. She wasn't going all out for showing off just now but having fun and enjoying seeing someone else having fun along with her.

Sohr Khai filled the air next.

Jenny switched up her movements to match the new cadence, transitioning to a new routine as she felt her way through the new song.

As the last notes died away, Iria spun to a slow halt a few feet away from Jenny, "Now that was fun, thank you for joining me. Would you like a hot chocolate or something before you go?"

"That sounds great!" Jenny replied. "I can show you my mom's secret recipe, you have got to try it."

Iria turned and glided across the ice and picked up the thermos of hot chocolate and bought it over to Jenny with two mugs, "Andorian chocolate milk chocolate and peppermint is this mixture but if your mom's s better I am all ears!"

"Dutch cocoa, and homemade marshmallows." Jenny briefly explained as she accepted the mug from Iria, taking a sip and 'mmmmmming' appreciatively. "The replicator can't do it proper justice, but it's still wort trying, I'll show you." She motioned for Iria to follow her as she glided over to the bench to start unlacing her skates...
