Author's Note: This will be a only a few chapters, in outline format, I'm willing to make stories out of ideas if I get reviewer requests. I've been thinking of this story line for a while now. Rigo never happened! As I want Sasha to be in this fic, Coach Mac only has an assistant coaching role. Also I my formatting never quite listens to me with page breaks, so hopefully the underscore button doesn't mess with the formatting.

Three Years before the Olympics:
Payson was junior national champion; she was in her zone, completely focused and very sure in her mind that she would be at the 2012 olympics. She was sure that Marty would lead her there and there would be no problems along the way. She didn't realize what would happen in a years time. She didn't know that her coach would leave her for another gym, or that an old disc injury in her back would cause her to fall from the uneven bars and make her completely reshape how she would accomplish her goal. Payson just knew that she had become the junior national champion and she felt on top of the world.
Lauren and Kaylie were the best of friends, the thought they told each other almost everything. Well except for one thing, Kaylie started to secretly see Carter Anderson. Lauren was happy being the only woman in her father's life but missed her mother and wished she would return. Kaylie was happy with her parents being happily married, unaware that her mother was seeing her coach. Lauren was happy being the best on beam. Kaylie was happy settling with her current moves and being a crowd pleaser. They were best friends, they were happy at with there home lives, they were training for the olympics, nothing could go wrong… right?
Emily was training in the YMCA hoping for a big break. Her home life with her mother and her brother was good, they may have been poor but they were there for each other like family should be. Her mother had kicked her ex-boyfriend to the curb and things were more peaceful around the apartment. Emily was working at the pizza shack in Fresno and it was an okay life. She wanted more, she would always dream for more, but for now she would be content with what she had. Life wasn't made for complete optimists, her mother could be an optimist, she would be a realist.
Kelly was very busy, after placing silver in the junior nationals her mother Sheila had kept her very busy with advertisements and training to make up for not getting gold. The would train hard and all the press would know her name and at the next national event she would win, she had to! Sheila seemed to always keep her busy with one activity or another but no matter what the activity was it was never actually with her mother. Sheila was always more or less around her but never joined her. So she used her barbed tongue to psyche out the competition, it helped to keep her mind off of other things.
Jordan was with her foster family, she was still doing gymnastics on and off as she could but the demons from her past still haunted her. She was doing as well as could be expected but nobody knew, nobody could ever know.

Three Months before the Olympics:
Payson had gone through a lot to get to where she was now. She had to completely re-invent herself as a gymnast, she was now an artistic gymnastic with just a little of a power gymnasts edge. She was training for the all around and degrees of difficulties in all four apparatus's were high enough to give the best gymnasts in the world a run for the gold. She was confident that with Sasha's help that she would tweak her performances enough that she should be nearly flawless when she performed in London. She was just two months shy of eighteen now. She had a brief relationship with Max Spenser however they quickly realized that they were better as friends, they still went jogging in the mornings every now and then. Payson realized a while ago that she was still in love with Sasha, she was sure it would always be an unrequited one. So she trained, she focused on her goal of all around gold and team gold. That would have to do for now.
Lauren was pretty happy with how her life was turning out at this point. It wasn't perfect but it wasn't a disaster either. She had put others through quite a bit and the fact that they didn't all hate her was something of a miracle. After she had told Sasha about sending the altered training cam picture to Ellen Beals he had forgiven her. After the world championships she had told Payson. It took Payson a long time to forgive her but she eventually did after many arguments and pleas of forgiveness. She even managed to get back together with Max. They had a different relationship this time around, more talking and less flirting in the beginning, they really got to know each other, she even found out about Max kissing Austin! The down side to her old manipulative ways was that there was no chance that Summer would ever be her mother or treat her the way she used to, she still talked to her but it would always be different. Steve started talking to Chloe again, asking how things were with Emily and just repairing old hurts.
Kaylie was still struggling to stay on course. She still found herself looking at the calorie count in food and endurance training more than she should sometimes. However she had gotten back enough to do well on floor, vault, and uneven bars. She could no longer properly do the amanar but she could get a routine on vault that was only .5 of a point below that on vault without attempting to starve herself again. She was accepting herself for who she was and she made sure to write lyrics in her journal and sing as well every now and then to remind herself that there could be life after gymnastics. She had been dating Austin officially for about six months now, Sasha knew of it but as long as they weren't overt about it he let them be. Alex didn't like them dating but he at least knew Austin cared very much for his daughter and was honest about the relationship so he didn't try to keep them apart. Alex and Ronnie had officialized there divorce a month ago, Ronnie was talking to Marty again.
Kelly was eighteen now, she lived in an apartment on her own and she was no longer under the management of her mother. She talked to Nicky almost everyday either by phone, texting, or email, they had dated in Denver but had broken up due to tampering on Sheila's part. They were getting reacquainted and had plans to get together after the olympics. Kelly was now good friends with Payson, Kaylie, Jordan, and Lauren, they had become the team that she had always wanted but never had. She was most likely to be named team captain for the olympics.
Jordan was now training most of the time with Coach Mac, mostly because he seemed to believe in her more than Sasha but she realized that Sasha had hopes for her too. She got along well with Kaylie and Kelly the most, but didn't argue with Payson or Lauren. She still wasn't interested in boys much because of her past, and also just not finding the right guy. She was focused on a gold medal at the olympics, preferably on bars. She was getting used to living in Colorado, and she stayed with the Cruz's as her host family.
Emily was now about six months along in her pregnancy. She lived with Damon in Nevada, Damon still went on tour and was still pursuing his dream but he came home to Emily whenever he could, they had eloped when she was three months along. They knew at this point they were going to have a little girl. Emily was happy, she faced a hard choice when giving up her dream of the olympics but she knew her whole life that sometimes dreams don't come true. She was a realist, she wasn't going to give up a child just because she had a dream. Her child became her dream and she realized there really is more to life than gymnastics.

Three Days before the Olympics:
They were in London, there dream was close to coming true, they would soon get to represent there country in front of the world and potentially come home with the gold. They were ready, there families were supporting them and there coach's were behind them all the way. Payson and Kelly would compete on all apparatus's later for individual gold. For the team competition, Lauren would be on beam, and floor. Kaylie would be on vault, and floor. Jordan would be on uneven bars, and vault. Kelly would be on beam and uneven bars. Payson would be on uneven bars, floor, and vault.
Vault - Kaylie, Jordan, Payson.
Floor - Lauren, Kaylie, Payson.
Beam - Kaylie, Kelly, Lauren.
UB - Kelly, Jordan, Payson.
There was some upset within the team over who went first and last on each apparatus, but the coaches calmed the girls down. There was also drama in that Max had just broken up with Lauren when he learned that he hadn't qualified for the olympics, she was sad to see him go but she got over it fairly quickly as she wanted a winner by her side, and she didn't think it would be equal relationship if she got to realize her dream but the person she was with didn't get to realize his.
Emily would not be coming to support them at the olympics, although she did Skype with them all about how excited she was for them. She's on mandatory bed rest until the baby arrives and the baby girl Amelia is due any day now.

Emily had her baby girl Amelia the day after the olympics, she weighed 7 pound 8 ounces and was very healthy. Chloe felt awful that she missed it but she thought she'd have time to get back to her.
Payson kisses Sasha for the second time, chaos ensues.

Three months after the Olympics:
Lauren and Jake are officially dating now. He still calls her Princess. All of the girls and guys are on the Kellogg's tour and are performing almost every night along with doing talk shows. Sasha and Payson have not spoken much since the second kiss, he of course rejected her again because he's still her coach. Kaylie and Austin are planning their wedding, they want it to be on February 28th, 2013. Emily and Damon are happy playing with Amelia, Damon is at home more often now as opposed to touring but he's still recording songs. Kelly and Nicky have been seeing each other more often as well, there may be a proposal in the near future for them as well. Jordan has become an advocate for victims of abuse speaking out about it on talk shows and through the media as much as she can, Coach Mac is supporting her heavily in this.

A/N: Next chapter 3 years after the olympics, 10 years after the olympics, 20 years after the olympics, and 30 years after the olympics. With enough reviews I'll take different pieces of this and make short chapters about the events. I made this because I didn't like how the show ended, it didn't feel like it wrapped up the characters lives and so I'm trying to do that. Hope you like, but if not that's okay too.
