Thanks for all the reviews. Here is the next chapter.
Also, I do not own any characters from Lizzie McGuire and do not get payed for writing this. Also, I'm going to be talking more about skating competitions, the competitions are real (like World Championships, Nationals, ect.) but all of the figure skaters will be fictional.
Ellie nervously waited backstage in the locker room for her turn. She knew that she could do well, but she was always nervous before she skated. She was finally called to go out. She was the last skater to go and she knew she was going to win, unless she messed up really badly. Ellie was not concieted or anything, its just that she knew several difficult jumps, unlike most of the girls skating there.
She waited at the sideboards for her turn as she watched her biggest rival there, Liza Newman skate. She tightened her white skates one more time while she waited. Her costume was a navy blue halter kind with silver jems on it. Her hair was in a high bun with a matching ribbon to complete her outfit. She barely had any make-up on and she liked it that way. Ellie felt more like herself than she had since she had left Texas.
After Holly got her scores, which were very good, and then it was finally Ellie's turn to skate. After quick words from her new coach, Timothy Wilson, she went out on to the ice with a smile on her face.
"Skating next is Maire Craft." The announcer said. Ellie loved her "skating name." It was really just her middle name, but she liked it.
Her music finally began and she started to skate in a small circle she then turned and went into a double axel and cleanly landed it. The crowd cheered when she landed it and she continued on as she when into a sit spin and then began to skate backwards and went into a triple flip-triple toe combination. She as always became excited to the crowds reaction and skated very well. She ended her program with a sit spin that went up into a full spin and then placed her arms above her as her finishing pose. She knew at that moment she had taken her first step to winning an Olympic medal.
Lizzie, Gordo, Miranda, Ethan, Matt and Andrea all stood up when she finished to cheer for her. While Mark and Andrew looked at them like they were crazy.
"She is really good!" Miranda said to Lizzie.
"You bet she is." Lizzie smiled and clapped her hands harder together as she watch Ellie wave to the crowd and then she went over to get her scores.
They all sat down as they waited to see her scores. Even though it was obvisous that she had won.
"And the scores for Maire Craft...Techical Merit, 5.7, 5.7, 5.8, 5.6, 5.6. Performance, 5.8, 5.6, 5.8, 5.8, 5.9. Judges rankings...1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, and 1. Current standings first place." The speaker said.
Lizzie saw Ellie jump up and hug her coach. Lizzie was very proud of her friend, and she noticed that Ethan looked very proud of her too. He may not be the sharp knife in the drawer, but he seemed to have a good heart.
Mr. and Mrs. Craft soon took the boys home. Ethan could not wait to talk to his sister. After his friends left, he waited in his room for her for almost an hour and he then heard the garage door open and knew she was home.
He ran downstairs and saw his mother hugging Ellie. He smiled and went into the kitchen.
"I am so proud of you." Mrs. Craft said as she let go of Ellie. "I know all this training will pay off."
"It sure will mom." Ellie smiled. "Now I just have to work twice as hard. I am so going to kick butt at the competition in November."
"Yes you sure are." Ethan said as he went to go hug his sister. "Man, you are awesome."
"Thanks Ethan." Ellie smiled.
"Hang on one minute there." Mrs. Craft said. She picked up a camera off the counter and took a picture of the two of them. "I have not gotten a picture of the two of you in the longest time. You two getting along brings a tear to my eye."
"Awww...Mom." Ethan said.
"I'm sorry." She laughed and then left the room looking happy that Ellie had not yelled at Ethan.
"So, Ellie...Wanna go to the mall tonight?" Ethan asked.
"I don't think so." Ellie said. "I am a little tired, and I have to work on another routine tomorrow. Just incase I do make the Olympic team."
"Okay." Ethan said. "I guess I will see you later then."
"Hey Ethan." Ellie said as he began to walk toward the door.
"Yeah?" He asked.
"Thanks for coming today." Ellie said. "It meant a lot to me."
"Your welcome." Ethan smiled. "Thats what twins are for."
The next Monday at school. Ellie went back to her gothic look. She did not care about the kids at school. She decided to just worried about her grades and her skating, since it was what was most important thing at that time. Lizzie told her about how she knew that Ellie was a champion figure skater and promised to be there for her if she ever needed it.
"Hey...Ellen..." Kate called to her as Ellie passed the popular kids table at lunch.
"What Kate?" She asked sounding annoyed.
"I was just wondering, do you think of yourself as the mistress of death?" Kate asked.
"No Kate I don't." Ellie said smoothly. "Nor do I care what you say about me or my clothes."
"She is such a freak." Claire whispered to Ethan.
Ethan didn't laugh at this. "Please don't say that about my sister Claire." He said firmly. Everyone looked at him.
"She's your sister?" Kate asked in surprise.
"Twin sister to be exact." Ethan said. He saw Ellie smile at him and he smiled back. "And I would appreciate it if you would stop talking about her at lunch or any other time at that matter."
Ellie's smile lit up her entire face. "I'll see you later Ethan." She then began to walk off happy that her brother did not just sit back as the girls made fun of her.
Kate shot a look at Ethan. "You're lying."
"No I'm not." Ethan told her. "She is my sister, you can ask my parents if you would don't believe me."
Kate sat back in her chair. "I still think you are making this up."
"Think what you want, but its true." Ethan told her. He was really relieved that his friends finally knew that he and Ellie were twins.
Last period of the day always sucked for Ellie; It was gym class. Not because she wasn't athletic, there was just something about having the guys stare at your chest as you ran that ticked her off...Not to mention that Kate, Claire and Mary were all in her class.
"Okay, we are going to try a little basketball today." Coach Keegan told them once they all came out of the locker room. "And yes Kate, you have to at least try to play basketball." He said as Kate opened her mouth to protest and then she just rolled her eyes.
The class was slipt into two mixed teams of boys and girls. Ellie got mad when she found out she was on the same team as Kate and Claire. Soon the "game" started and even though the boys tried to show off their non existing basketball skill. But they were all shown up by Ellie since she had no problem taking the ball from the boys and scoring points.
"Alright Ellie." Nick Landeson said as he hit her high fives after she scored a three point shot.
"Thanks Nick." Ellie said. The one thing she liked about gym class was that since she was very athletic she could keep up with the boys and they all thought she was pretty cool ...at least in that class.
"Nick, do you think that I could shoot the ball in the net a couple times." Kate asked in her flirty voice.
"Sure, if you can get it." Nick told her as he rolled his eyes. He then leaned over to Ellie and whispered, "I'll pass you the ball and then you pass it to Kate." And then smiled evilly.
The ball was put back into play and Ellie once again took it from the other team. She then passed it to Nick who passed it back to Ellie. Ellie then passed it to Kate, who jumped out of the way of the ball and it was called out.
"What was that for?" Kate screeched.
"You wanted to shoot the ball." Ellie told her.
"I am so much better than you are in everything." Kate told her. The whole class stopped the game to see what was going on.
"I'd like to see that." Ellie said. "Just try."
"Fine then." Kate said. She then turned around and walked to get extra space.
"You show her Kate." Claire shouted.
Ellie stood with her arms folded as she watched Kate do a "flip-flop" which was a cartwheel into two back handsprings then a back tuck. The boys clapped lightly when she finished.
Kate smirked then went back over to Ellie. "Beat that." She told her.
"Piece of cake." Ellie said as she went to the spot Kate just was. She ran to get speed and then did a one-handed cartwheel into an "ariel" then into a backhand spring back tuck. Many of the guys clapped for her louder than they did for Kate. She walked back over to Kate. "I thought you could do anything better than me." She said as she notice Kate's eyes flashing.
"Okay, lets see you do something orginal." Kate said as Ellie was about to walk off.
Ellie stared at Kate for a minute for a minute. "You mean, I do something, and you try to top me."
"Yes." Kate said.
Ellie got an idea. "Anything?"
"Yes." Kate said again. "Anything you can do...I can do better."
"Okay then." Ellie said as she went to go get more room. She smiled evily at Kate. She stood completely straight for a minute. She heard Kate say something and Claire laughed. Ellie took a deep breath. She then jumped into the air and did a triple flip and landed it on the gym floor, then moved her feet to the left and went into a double toe loop. Just like she always did went she had to practice her jumps off the ice. She turned back to the class and smirked.
The guys clapped for her loudly. Ellie looked at Kate who was staring at her wide eyed.
"I believe its your turn." Ellie said to Kate.
"Thats not what I meant." Kate said.
"You did say anything." A boy said from the back.
"I can't do something like that." Kate said. Many of the people in the school all gasped. Kate never said she could not do anything like that. "I mean...without practice that is." She said quickly.
"Practice?" Ellie said slyly. "I did not know you were an ice skater."
"Oh yeah...You know. I love it." Kate bragged, but you could tell she was lying. "I mean, competitions and everything. Its all fun."
Ellie looked surprised. "Oh really. You compete?"
"All the time." Kate said.
"I even watch her." Claire said adding to her big hoax. "She's really good."
"Oh shut up Kate." Nick said taking Ellie's side. "We all know you aren't a figure skater."
Ellie motioned for him to keep quiet. She was ready to completely diss Kate. "Well then you know Maire Craft right?" She said. "You know, silver medalists at the World Championships last year?"
Kate nodded with a confused look. "Oh yeah...I know her..." She shammered. "She has the cutest skating outfits." She tried to cover up her lie.
"Well thank you." Ellie said smoothly wondering if Kate would catch on.
"You're that skater Ethan wanted to see skate last Sunday?" Andrew asked her.
"Yep." Ellie smiled.
"You're lying..." Claire stood up for her friend. But there was no point.
"No I'm not." Ellie said. "Thats me, Ellen Maire Craft. Two time silver medalist at the World Championships." Ellie did not normally brag about her skating, but this was different. She had finally found a way to completely embarrass the girl she hated.
The whole class began to whisper. Kate for once got herself into something she could not get out of.
