Quick author's note: I know technically the next Winter Olympics will take place in Feb. 2014, but for the purpose of my story I changed it to Feb. 2016. Hope that doesn't bother anyone too much!

Year: 2016

The St. Clair family anxiously sat in their seats at Fisht Olympic Stadium in Sochi, Russia and watched as a beautiful Russian figure skater did a complex routine. If Perry were to admit to it, he'd say he was a little nervous for Mia. These people were amazing! Even Skip seemed impressed. Still, Perry knew his sister had worked hard to get on the U.S. Olympic team along with Anya and Vanessa. Garrett had earned a spot as well, much to Mia's delight. The couple had been dating for about two years now and were very much in love. Magazines everywhere gossiped about the two American Olympic hopefuls.

"And that was Natasha Alexei, Team Russia, everyone!" the announcer broadcasted. "And now we have Mia St. Clair representing the U.S."

As usual, the commentators started back up. "Ms. St. Clair has only been figure-skating since she was ten. Before that, she was a skilled hockey player. When asked about the switch, Ms. St. Clair simply said that she needed to see if she could do something by herself."

"Well, Brad, it doesn't seem like she made the wrong choice now!" a woman interrupted.

"Mia St. Clair is one of the most promising young skaters the U.S. has seen lately," the commentator continued. "Close to her in rank are two close friends and fellow skaters from the Lucrene, Vanessa Knowles and Anya Sorokowski."

Mia skated onto the ice, her head up and a graceful smile on her face. She was a wearing a sparkly green outfit that clung to her, making her look much more mature than 18. The music started, and Perry struggled to keep up as Mia started doing complex spins and jumps. He didn't know what they were caleld, but they did seem complex. Even the judges seemed to be impressed.

"It seems that Mia has definitely stepped up her caliber," one of the commentators speculated. "Wait, is she attempting a quadruple axel? This is a move that has never been done in competition before."

Perry couldn't hear them. His eyes were only on his sister. He knew about this move. Mia had been working on it for two years. She'd fallen on her ass countless times and even broken her arm. Coach Schubert had told her to stick to a triple axle, but Mia wouldn't listen. When Perry asked Mia why, she reluctantly told him that the move was crazy dangerous and hard to land. She could be in serious trouble if she fell wrong. He had tried to make sure she never tried this move, even recruited Anya, Vanessa, and Garrett to his case. No progress was made.

Mia skated and went for her jump. Everyone watched as she spun in the air once, twice, three, and finally four times. Breaths were held as she landed back onto the ice, smoothly gliding into the next part of her routine. The world was stunned.

Finally, the music stopped. Mia smiled and took a bow, skating off the ice.

"That was awesome!" Rick exclaimed.

"That was dangerous," Perry added. "Mia could've gotten hurt doing that."

Skip shrugged. "So is hockey, but that never stopped any of us."

Their parents, too engrossed in a conversation with Anya's parents nearby, didn't heart this exchange. If they had, they would've simply smiled.

Soon the event was over, and all of the World teams were gathered. Mia and her teammates were huddled up nervously. Perry could see his sister's hands shaking all the way from here. She was clutching Vanessa and Anya's hands tightly, her eyes closed. "Winning the bronze for the single skating competition, Natasha Alexie for Russia!" There was cheering. The beautiful girl went up and had her medal put around her neck and flowers handed to her. "Winning the silver for Team USA, Anya Sorokowski!" Mia's team went crazy, shouting and cheering for Anya. Vanessa and Mia wrapped Anya in a tight hug before letting her go get her silver medal. "Winning the gold medal for Team USA, Mia St. Clair!"

Mia looked shell-shocked. Her teams shouted and cheered while Vanessa gave he a soft push. Mia went up and got her medal, a face-splitting grin on her face the whole time. She stood next to Anya. The crowd was going next, but no one more than the Lucrene parents and coach. Skip, Perry, and Rick cheered for their sister, all forgetting the day they couldn't understand why Moa was a figureskater. Now they understood their own question, "Why figureskating?
