I do not own Make It or Break It or any characters associated with the show. Although, I really wish that I did.
CHAPTER 1:
This was it. The last ten years of her life, her sweat, blood, and tear, the laughing, the crying, the fights, the hugs, the kisses all leading up to this one moment- the one moment that could either make or break their lives.
KAYLIE'S POINT OF VIEW:
I looked around taking it all in. This was amazing. Each of us had overcome our own things, and now we were here. Payson proved the world wrong when she rose like a phoenix from her broken back, overcome her insecurities and was now dating Austin. Kelly had finally fought back against her mother after years of abuse and became her own person.* Emily had made a brave choice in giving up her baby, Sydney, for adoption.** Lauren had finally found love in her life. Her and Carter had developed a loving relationship, without the sex, Summer and Steve have worked things out with one another and are now married. I had overcome illness. I had beaten my anorexia. With a new image of myself, I was ready for competition.
Everyone was gathering outside the private entrance to the arena, mentally preparing ourselves for the long road ahead of us. The twelve of us: Payson, Austin, Lauren, Carter, Sasha, Marty, Russo, Horton, Max, Emily, Kelly, and I had gone through so much together.
AUSTIN'S POINT OF VIEW:
This was the time, not only for me to make Olympic history, but for an even more important moment. This moment would change his life forever.
He bent down as if he was tying his sneaker and pulled out a tiny box. "Payson Keeler" he began "would make me the happiest man on Earth and do me the honor or marrying me?" he said as he opened the tiny ring box.
"Of course I will" Payson said as she fell into his lap, arms held behind his neck.
That was a relief! I knew it was going to be pretty risky asking Payson to MARRY ME….who would have thought that I, Austin Tucker, bad boy player of gymnastics would be engaged to Payson, miss goody two shoes. Not to mention, out coaches were right there, and everyone knew how they felt about dating as athletes, not to mention dating each other.
PAYSON'S POINT OF VIEW:
Austin is just too cute. Did he really think that I didn't know he was going to propose while we were in London. I love him, but the boy can't keep a secret for his life. First he asks Lauren, who is my best friend to held him pick out the engagement ring that he would propose with. Then, when Lauren asked for the details on the future proposal, he dished them out! I guess that's just one more thing for me to love about him.
KEY:
*Kelly became emancipated and after being cut from the Olympic team, she began helping Sasha as an assistant coach. I might make a spin-off one shot for that back story.
**Emily has an open adoption with Sydneys adoptive parents, Bill and Kristie
Author's Note:
This is just a super super super short chapter because I hate writing about the Olympics. Anyways, the next chapters are going to skip ahead. It's going to be post-Olympics. Also, I have all these great ideas and they are stuck in my head, but I'm not so great at writing, so I'm looking for like a beta-writer if you could call it that, I don't know but anyways, review please!
NEXT CHAPTER INFORMATION:
Next chapter will be skipping ahead quite a bit. At that point, Payson and Austin will have already been married for a while. All of the athletes will be somewhere between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.
Payson and Austin will have bought The Rock, but they kept Sasha on board as an assistant coach. He wanted to work his way into a retirement by slowly decreasing his work load. Payson and Austin are the two head coaches.
Lauren and Carter are married as well. They have a set of twins, Rosie and Savi (Savannah) who are six years old. They live in a suburb outside of Boulder, Colorado where they continue to keep in close contact with Payson and Austin.
Kelly and Nikki are engaged. Kelly has one daughter, Bridget who is ten years old. She was born two years after the Olympics, but Nikki isn't the father. They live in New York City where Nikki is a high-demand cardiothoracic surgeon, but he always makes sure to make time for his family.
Max and Emily became really good friends after a short dating stint after the Olympics. They both live in California where Max has a pretty successful career as a photographer and Emily is head coach at a gymnastics center.
Kaylie is following in her mother's footsteps as a singer. She has a record deal and is living in Miami, Florida with Damon, who she sometimes collaborates with on songs.
Damon also is living in Miami. He is in a band where he also has a record deal. He is really close friends with Kaylie. At some point in the future, they may or may not begin dating.
Jon Horton won't really be mentioned all that much. He lives with his wife in Greenwich, Connecticut. They have five kids: Matthew (13), Sydney (9), Grace (7), Ricky/Richard (5), and Morgan (10 Months). He and his wife Ashley are expecting another child. The kids that they have together will play a big part in the plot. Also, I might include a reunion chapter so that might be all that Jon is involved in.
Sasha, is in his early sixties. After Payson and Austin bought the gym they worked out a deal so that he slowly was easing into retirement. Sasha will continue his friendship with Payson.
I'm not really sure how much Sasha will be involved in this story
Marty jumped ship on the whole gymnastics coach thing after Kelly missed the cut for the London 2012 cycle. In the mean time, he has been competing in triathlons and super-marathons.
Marty won't really be involved in the story, but just so you have some background knowledge.
Anyways, I hope you love my idea. Please Review, it really motivates me. Also, comment or private message me with anything you would like me to add.
