Mikan never had any interest in learning to snowboard. Even when she had started to work for the local Ski Patrol, her work was in the aid room, not on the mountain - just a little extra use of her nursing skills, in a setting where she can volunteer alongside her friends. She was so clumsy she'd never even considered learning - not skiing like Mahiru or snowboarding like Ibuki. She just wasn't suited for it.

That was before Akane Owari.

To say Akane was a sensation wasn't quite right. She was certainly a sensation to Ibuki, who actually kept up with pro snowboarding and insisted that Akane would be an Olympic favorite if she just had any desire to go to the Olympics. But Ibuki thought lots of people were great that no one else had even heard of. Despite that, even Hiyoko had been excited when they got the news Akane was visiting Hope's Mountain Peak.

"No stupid pig is keeping me from seeing her in action," Hiyoko had announced to the group when deciding to watch her come down from the bottom of the stunt park. And that was Hiyoko's way of saying "Mikan should come, she'd really like it."

So there Mikan was, in the frosty 9 AM air, standing at the bottom of the mountain. "It's cold, huh?" Mahiru asked sympathetically, and Mikan nodded, stuttering - for once, not because of nerves, but because of her teeth chattering - "H-how long until she c-comes down?"

Just as Mahiru opened her mouth, another snowboarder crested the ridge. There were probably fifty people visible on the mountain, but this one demanded attention; she came into view in the middle of a flip, landing facing downhill on a rail. Slips, slides, weaving and bobbing - distantly, Mikan could hear Ibuki and Hiyoko whooping next to her, but all that Mikan could think about was the lines that snowboard carved in the snow.

At the bottom of the hill, Akane Owari pulled to a stop. And when she pulled up her goggles to talk to her coach, Mikan Tsumiki decided she needed to learn to snowboard.
