Jeanette looked from the tv to the skating stuff for a moment. She looked at Katie and shrugged softly. She looked back to the tv and watched just as she did a double triple combination on the video tape. She looked back to Katie and frowned softly. "I know, it's just... He pushes me so hard that I just can't help but be mad. I wish he wouldn't push me so much sometimes." She said gently looking to Lucy who had fluffed up her fethers and was weeding through them with her beak.
She made a little whistling noise and the parrot looked up and flattened out her grey feathers before she eased herself down onto her cage and then scaled the side before she jumped to the bed and walked up from the foot of the bed. Jeanette held out her hand for the bird and picked her up placing her on her shoulder. "Lucy want a cracker." The bird chirped sweetly. Jeanette smiled and reached for a box that was sitting next to her bed on her nightstand and she pulled out a cheese cracker for the bird. the bird eagerly took the cracker and started to munch on it. "He told me that he told you about the accident." She said gently looking up at Katie for a moment then back to the tv in thought.

katie smiled turning around leaning against the doorframe as her eyes turned to the tv a moment just watching her skating thats you isnt it? she said watching her. Though at times the picture of her was smaller on the screen it was all plane to tell. She smiled a bit watching it before her attention turned to jeanette again yes but thats just what big brothers are for, your lucky you have one, he may not always be right.... but he still cares, you'll thank him one day....probably not today though she said grinning. She smiled and watched the bird utterly impressed with the smart bird and a little mezmorized almost.....
Her attention turning to jeanette she nodded ya i know about it.... she told her and i think you shouldnt stop because of that, look at yourself look at the videos, everything, you have so much talent she told her smile growing on her face your brother also told me that you have ome physical problem with it.....and thats why im hereeeeeeee she said not leaning against the wall and striking a superman pose before breaking out laughing

She looked to the tv and nodded gently.She didn't say anything to her about what she said about her brother. "He didn't have to get upset and come chasing after me though." She retorted a little upset. "He probably failed to mention that he came barging into Ryan Andrews house to try and drag me off back here." She said gently looking back at the tv. She looked up at Lucy when she picked up a lock of her hair and playfully tugged on it. She sighed and reached into the box and got another cracker out and handed it to her.
"I didn't stop figure skating because of the accident. I stopped because I've done everything to try and fix my problem and nothing's worked. I've done extra physical therapy and workouts to build it up and it just can't take the jumps." She said looking back to the tv as she did another jump.She looked to Katie and smiled gently, but she let out a soft laugh when Lucy started to sing the melody to the superman theme song. She looked back to the tv shaking her head. She wanted so bad to be able to do that again. She watched as she finished the routine then the video tape went to another performance probably a year after the first one because she was with a guy doing the couples competition.

katie smiled. She'd never had siblings and at times she thought that was the best thing in the world. At other times though she realy did hate it. She wanted that shoulder to cry on, that face to yell at and that person to just spend time with. she Watched her and though at times with the boyfriend issue she kenw at this moment she wouldnt want a bother butr she knew neils and she knew he was only taking what HE knew into consideration and worrying.... Though she also knew there were times that she'd wished for a brother like him in other towns when some guys would come by. She smiled i know...but its just gossip he's going on, and by not talking to him about it your not helping your case she told her putting her hand out to stroke the birds head lightly grinning.
She smiled and watched her you seem to have little faith in me. Ive torn things, broken things, strained things.... your problem is going from stretching to trying to skate, forget the skating for now thats not what you wanna dooooo she told her she had a sly look on her face you greeks, you work yourselves way to hard too quick she said only teasing her though. She laughed going towards the door pleasseeee, if i dont get someone to be my guinie pig and help ill never become a body builder trainer and ill enver account to anything she said sarcasticallyy only as a joke playing out a "poor little kid" kind or voice

She looked to Katie and frowned. Lucy gave off a playful cat like purr as Katie stroked her head. She then climbed onto her hand then crawled onto her lower arm area. "We both need to cool off until our next little chat because it doesn't solve anything for us to try and talk about it when we're both upset though." She said gently watching as Lucy bobbed her body up and down on Katie's arm playfully. "She likes you." Jeanette said sweetly as she watched them.
She looked up at Katie and frowned gently then looked back to the tv. "Really? Have you been in a car accident that shattered the bones in one of your legs into a million peices?" She asked harshly looking back at her then to the screen. "Yes it is what I want to do." She said as she reached for the remote and paushed it as her and her partner did a double axel. "I want to be able to do that again, Katie. There was never anything that could bring me down when I could do that. I was happy and carefree and both my parents supported it. I felt like... I don't even know how to describe what I felt when I was on the ice, but I can't feel it anymore. It's not there because I can't do the jumps and it's so frustrating because all my dreams have gone down the drain now, and I want it to be so bad." She said angrily as she flung the remote down on her bed. Lucy looked to Jeanette and tilted her head saying something in Greek to Jeanette. She looked to the bird and frowned softly.
When it came down to figure skating there was a lot of passion in Jeanette. There always had been thanks to her dad. Her dad had been a great figure skater in Greece. He had made it to the olympics and would have made it to the podium had he knot messed up his leg performing his long routine.

she let the bird rest on her arm and looked at jeanette yeah but trust me not talking to him isnt going to help or hurt the situation any more......well its not going to help it she said afterwards rethinking her phrase...She wasnt sure it was the best advice in the world but it had a bit of a perk to it so it worked for her. She realy wanted to help them and she wanted to get jeanette to do dance this year too, who knows mabey she could introduce some figure skating into the dance team.
She grinned you realy doubt me dont you.......im a champion...im not greek, all yyou greeks, you give up too much she teased. She'd teased both of them before, only because she was italian though and thought it was a bit funny to put that playful rivalry in her speech " see us italians we do whatever we want and not gravity or anatomy will stop us she said pridefully before laughing and stroking the bird lightly c'mon you wanted to go strait back into skting though after therapy your goin to quickly, lemme tryyyy to help....I take yoga, its great for dancing and other wierd stuff....the teachers a lil wacky but you get a laugh if nothing else out of it she said grinning a hopeful look in her eye and then you can teach meee how to skate because i have to tell you after i fell through the ice in fourth grade.....it never was the same she said smirking

She looked up at Katie and sighed. "I know, I'm just going to let both of us cool off for now." She said gently looking out her bedroom window in thought. Her and Neils argueing wasn't the best thing in the world.
She looked up at Katie and frowned then something clicked in her head. Katie must be behind Neils pushing her so much all of a sudden. She sighed softly. "I should have known. You're the reason he was pushing me all of a sudden." She said standing and walking over to her box of stuff. She opened the sealed on and pulled out a pair of scuffed up and worn down white skating boots. She put them over her shoulder as she stood and said a command to Lucy as she held out her hand for the bird. The bird squawked something back then hopped onto her hand. Jeanette put her in the bird cage and then turned to Katie. "He just can't but out." She said gently as she went to the door. She stopped when she saw Neils standing about a foot away from the door. She shook her head and walked past him saying something to him in Greek. She was going to the rink. She needed to vent some of her anger and now was as good a time as any because she didn't want to get into a fight with Neils right infront of Katie.
Neils turned to watch her walk out of the apartment then he walked to the door and looked at Katie. "I'm sorry about her crappy attitude. She just doesn't like to be pushed like we've been trying to do." He said gently looking at Katie then back to the door . He knew where she was going. She was going where she always did when she was upset.

Katie nodded and shrugged. She knew what she was going through...what was she thinking....she didnt have a brother...she did have a dad and everythingw as going great. IT was moments like this that katie realy felt like a spoiled rotten brat....jee what a way to bring her down...not on a day like this though. She was determined and nothing and no one would put her down....even with ther harsh attempts whether jeanette knew it or not.
Well.....mabey just a little she said holdinher hand up to signal it out. But we care about you, and besides, i need an iceskating coach she told her brow furrowing a bit trying to divert the subject just a bit or make it look brighter. and lord, if anyone knows how stubborn I am its Neils..... so just ask if you dont think that ill push the coaching subject she told her but it was more of in a teasing manner, not serious or pushy....Katie normally wasnt pushy about much...Determined yes, pushy no.
noooo correction she said getting a bit more excited seing ehr taking the skating boots out I just cant seem to butt out she told her in a matter of fact way innocent grin on her face as she shrugged. Even a little thing like that gave her a bit of a boost in her confidence and her eyes showed a bright glint' to them. She knew jeanette didnt seem too thrilled at the moment but she knew she'd thank her someday...or rather hoped desperately deep inside her ill take that as a yes to the lessons she called down the hall as she wathed her walk out standing in the doorway looking to neils..
It was a funny sight because there was jeanette walking out not looking to happy, and Katie standing there, looking as if she'd just won a nobel peace prize. A goofy grin sitting on her face and bright eyes turning to neils what are you talking about, she just left with skates didnt she she said sort of pointing out the obvious and going towards the door for the moment being.....my job here is done she told him smirking and walking out but stopping going back inside I'll be 'back she quoted before busting out laughing

Neils looked at her and frowned gently. "Yeah, she left with her skates and a temper that's going off right at the moment. I wouldn't exactly call that good news because she did that when she got mad at me and ran off to find Thomas at Ryan Andrews' place." He said gently looking to Katie then back to the door. He started walking with her to the door. "Katie, please don't push her too much or she'll never talk to either of us. I especially don't want that to happen because we live together and that would never go over well." He said gently looking at her for a moment then around the apartment. He heard Lucy calling from Jeanette's room and frowned gently. "I appreciate you trying to help though. And if you're going to chase after her to the rink, give her about thirty minutes to rant and all that." He advised gently as he looked to a black German sheperd on the couch, Colina, who was wagging her black tail happily.

she smiled going over to neils Neils, she's a girl........you can be her brother, you ARE her brother, and that support is great, but stop trying to be her Father too.....thats whats getting to her she said lightly and looking at him. She nodded im not gonna push her till cracking point, just try and make her laugh a little, im not gonna force her to do anything, if she ends up doing it it'll be because she told me SHE wanted to do it she reassured him a bright look in her eye She heard the parrot and grinned shed already become fond of it. Though she'd just found more and more lately that she was an animal person by hanging out with branden so much. She smiled and wathed Neils c'mon, im not gonna bug her right now, your not getting out of hanging out with me that easily she said with a smirk her rollerblades in one hand a pair for him in the other grinning im thinking snow cones, no icecream im not in the mood for that and i worked out this morning....but snow cones, yes theyre cold perfect for today she told him with a satisfied noe

He looked at his hands in thought for a moment. Unfortunately Katie was right. He was acting like their father and he wished she hadn't said it because it was harder for him to push it away when it came from his own mouth. "Unfortunately you're right about that." He muttered gently looking to the dog. He looked back to her and frowned softly. "It's hard to make her laugh these days. THe last seriouse laugh I hear from her was before the accident." He said gently looking at Katie. He smirked at her comment. "I wasn't trying to. I could actually really use getting out of the apartment right now." He said gently. He looked to the dog as she whimpered and smirked. "You don't mind if the dog tags along do you?" He asked curiously as the dog stood on the couch and tilted her pitch black head to the side like all dogs do. Not to mention the puppy dog pout that seeped through her amber eyes.

She smiled. She wasnt sure why she had all this advice but she was like a walking fortune cookie lately it was a little odd. Normally her ideas were crude or just stupid something that yes a potranca would say on a normal basis that made no sense at all or just came out of her mouth. She didnt get it but heck knock on wood there. She nodded and watched him it'll happen just dont push her in the direction you are, be her BROTHER neils, thats what she needs she told him soft eyes going from him to the dog. She smirked at his next comment though of course you could and thats why im here, to get you out of the appartment and onto the roads with me on wheels as scarry a thought as ever she remarked as it seemed anything with wheels under her was just not a good combination. As a kid she could NEVER ride a bike,she always had a hard time driving a car and she wasnt much better with rollerblades......She saw the dog and looked at neils sternly for a moment neils im shocked you would ask to do such a thing.... she said looking appalled but it turned to a teasing face and she laughed of course the dog can come, duhhhhhh she said laughing and opening the doorway lets goooo she said to the dog her soft spot for animals as always

He looked at her and nodded gently. "I'll try harder from now on." He said smiling gently. It just wasn't easy sometimes. At least she wasn't in the depressed state she used to be in. Always cooped up in her room with a book in hand and her music blaring or playing with Lucy. "Yeah, and to make me feel guilty for forgetting about our outing too I'll bet." He said teasingly. He walked over to the closet and rooted through it to find his roller blades, which he pulled out a minute or two later. He looked to the dog and said something in Greek to her and she jumped off the couch and ran off to his room. He smirked when she came back in with her collar and leash hanging out of her mouth. He knelt down and praised her gently in Greek as he fastened her pink collar and then the matching leash. He looked up to Katie. "Let's go." He said gently as he reached his hand through the leash loop.

she grinned and patted his head before walking out the door thats my good boy she said in a "good puppy" voice. She laughed and watched him get his skate c'monnnnn lets gooooo she said laughing. She waited and laughed bending down to pet the dog She smiled of course, but lets face it, just looking at me you feel guilty she said chuckling. She put on her skates and went down the hall and slowly made her way down the stairs and outside
so when did you guys move here? she asked. She'd been realy thinking about it lately.... She just wondered of course but who could blame her. She watched and grinned watching the dog. As always she was just a big dog person. She realy enjoyed being out with the though, especially since she had none of her own. She pat the dog once more before blading down the siewalk into town

He laughed and rolled his eyes at her gently. He looked down at Marli and said something to her in Greek and the dog jumped up at him yipping happily. He laughed gently and then looked to Katie. He strapped on his skates as well and then made sure the door was locked before they started to make their way out of the building. He looked to her at her question and looked around thinking as they started to skate towards town.
"Well Jeanette was originally going to board at the school so she came close to the beginning of the summer, but then our mother decided that all three of us needed to get out of Athens. So Mama sold our house and Papa's carpentry shop and we moved out here about a month after Jeanette." He explained looking to Marli who was more of pulling Neils than him making an effort to skate. He was already starting to miss Athens and the Greek country side very much.He remembered when him and Jeanette used to do this in Athens. He found it quite easy to skate weather it's on pavement in roller blades or on ice in ice skates.
