We're at the Olympics

by Lostandloved

The girls couldn't believe where they were. A lifetimes worth of hard work had finally paid off, dreams were coming true and history was being made. This is a small collection that follows that girls progress at the London Olympics, because we all wish the the TV show had done so.

1. Chapter 1

We're at the Olympics.

Four girls sat among a very hyped up audience in the packed O2 arena of London, England. At any other time they would have just seemed like four ordinary girls sat in an arena watching a sporting event.

But everyone in this building, everyone watching the televised broadcast and everyone who has been paying attention to the Summer Olympics of 2012 knew exactly who they were. They were gold medalists, they were the Women's Artistic Gymnastics team champions.

They were now preparing to watch their teammate, Payson Keeler, compete in the floor exercise event finals. It was the last competition for any of them, it was the last section of this outrageous roller coaster that they had been riding for the past few weeks.

"I can't believe that it's almost over" Lauren stated to her teammates, sounding a little saddened by her own words.
"I know" Kaylie whispered back to her, "I don't think it's really hit me yet, everything we've achieved here".
"I don't think it ever will" Lauren nodded knowingly.

Lauren and Kaylie shared a moment of silence between them, they had both been through so much together to get to this place, to get to the olympic podium. It took them a long time to know how to appreciate each other along the way. Being friends for over ten years didn't change the fact that they only now felt as though they were finding some common ground.

"Hey you two!" They heard Jordan say to them, pulling them from their thoughts, "be quiet, it's starting".

The girls all laughed and turned towards the arena, the three of them along with their teammate Colleen had done amazing things at these Olympics and now it was time for Payson to yet again leave her mark on the competition.

They watched eagerly as the girls all marched out onto the floor, Payson being the only american successfully qualifying for this floor final. The girls knew it was going to feel like reliving the team all-around competition but from the stands. Payson was last to go up on the floor exercise and it was that performance that had sealed their gold medal.
