The Next Generation
Disclaimer: I don't own anything having to do with any of the Cutting Edge movies. Also the Young International Competitions is a real program from the U.S. Figure Skating Association. I don't own any that has anything to do with or is a part of anything that deals with the U.S. Figure Skating Association. I am just using some of the names of programs and competitions in this fan fiction.
Katya was practicing her routine. Even through it was after her skating lesson. Her grandmother was her instructor and after each lesson she usual let her practice after everyone else in her class had gone home.
Periodically her grandfather would get out the camera and film her skating. So, she didn't even mind when he did this time. Katya was just skating around when she decided to try to do something that she has wanted to try for sometime, however she didn't know if she could do it. She was only 6 years old and none of her friends in her class didn't even think about doing this yet. However she had been practicing for this for a while. Both her grandparents were watching as Katya was skating and both their jaws dropped when their 6-year-old granddaughter just did a triple for the first time and landed almost perfectly. There was some wobble and it looked like that she was going to fall, however, she was able to recover without falling.
"Katya, did you just do a triple?" Kate asked, while Katya skated up to her grandparents.
"I did. I just wanted to try it."
"I can't believe it. It's amazing that you can do a triple at your age." said Doug.
"While I was seven when I did it for that first time." Kate said.
"What? We had been together for how long. Not to mention that we skated together and you never told me."
"Well, when we met I was a pair skater. I was only a single skater until I was about 13 or 14."
"I see"
"Well, I think that we may need to start thinking about Young International Competitions for her. However, we do need to talk to your parents when they get back from vacation and see what they say."
"Oh man" stomping her skate. She didn't think that her parents would let her compete at her age.
"Don't worrying. We have a tape to show them. That you are ready." said Doug.
"Yay, I can wait to show mom and dad," said Katya
"Why, don't you go get changed and then we can go out for ice cream." said Kate
"Okay" Katya said and then skated off to get changed.
After Katya left the rink, Doug asked while cleaning up the camera equipment, "So is there anything else that I should know about you, that you have kept secret for all these years?"
"Wouldn't you like to know" Kate said smiling while walking out of the rink to help Katya change.
Doug just smiled and slowly shook he head while he watched her walk out of the rink.
