"Okay Ellie, thats it for today." Timothy told her the next Monday afternoon. "Try to get to the gym and work out a little later."
"Alright." Ellie said as she got off of the ice. Her skating had been getting better, but it still was not good enough to even have a chance at the Olympic trials. She could even tell that Timothy was giving up on her as well. She hated her life right now.
Ellie put her skate guards on and then went into the locker room to change into her regular clothes.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lizzie had come to the ice arena to watch Ellie once again. She saw the depressed look on her friends face as she walked towards the locker room. Lizzie got up and followed Ellie into the locker room.
"Ellie!" She called out as she opened the door. She looked and saw Ellie sitting on the bench crying. She went and gave her friend a hug. "Ellie, whats wrong?"
"I can't do anything out on the ice!" Ellie sobbed. "I can't land jumps, I mess up on have of my spins. Theres no way I can be ready for the Olympic trials!"
"Awww....Ellie." Lizzie sympathized. She hated seeing her friends cry. "Ellie, I think I can help you though."
Ellie looked at her. "You can? How?" Ellie asked as she wiped her eyes.
"I have watched you skate a lot since the accident, and I think your main problem is your posture." Lizzie told her. "My mom has this work out tape that improves your prosture within a week. Why don't you come over and just try it out."
"Okay." Ellie agreed. "It at least worth a shot."
******************************************************************************************************
Lizzie drove Ellie to her house and they both went inside. Lizzie saw her mother in the kitchen cooking dinner.
"Hey Mom." Lizzie said giving her mother a hug.
"Hi Lizzie." Mrs. McGuire said. "How was your day?"
"It was pretty good." Lizzie said. "Oh mom, you remember Ellie, right?"
"Hi Mrs. McGuire." Ellie said with a small smile.
"Well hi Ellie." Mrs. McGuire smiled. "I haven't seen you in a little while."
"Hey mom, do you still have that workout tape that helps your posture?" Lizzie asked.
"Its upstairs with all my other workout videos." Mrs. McGuire said.
"Can Ellie borrow it?" Lizzie asked.
"Sure." Mrs. McGuire said. "Take whatever you need."
"Thanks mom." Lizzie said. She then turned and pulled Ellie into their TV room. Lizzie began looking through the several workout videos her mother owned. "Here it is!"
Ellie took the video from Lizzie and looked at it. "Thanks Lizzie."
Lizzie pulled out two more videos. "Here...This is supposed to help your legs, and this is to help your abs and back." She handed then to Ellie.
"Thanks." Ellie said reading the back of all of the videos.
"Why don't you just come over to my house after your training and we can work out together." Lizzie suggested. "I could be like your personal fitness trainer."
"Okay." Ellie smiled. "Sounds like a plan."
***********************************************************************************************************
For the four days, Lizzie and Ellie worked out with the video tapes. Lizzie also continued to go to Ellie's practices and watch her friend. Even within the four days her friend's posture and grace on and off the ice improved greatly.
"Ellie, do you remember how you fell?" Lizzie asked after they finished working out to all of the videos on Thursday afternoon.
"Not really..." Ellie said.
Matt and Andrea suddenly ran into the room almost running into Lizzie in the process.
"Whoa! Sorry Lizzie." Matt said as they both stopped.
"Matt, you know not to run in the house." Lizzie yelled at her brother.
Ellie looked at the two fighting and then looked at Andrea. She thought a minute. She suddenly remembered that night that she was hit. She remembered showing Andrea how to do a layback spin and then getting pushed down by a girl in a pink sweater...She thought harder...she began to remember that it was Kate who pushed her onto the ice. She also began to remember how her routines for the trials went. She pictured the ice and almost heard the music in her head...
"Lizzie!" Ellie suddenly jumped up.
"Whats wrong?" Lizzie asked surprised.
"Nothing...I just need a ride back over to the arena." Ellie said. "Please?"
"Sure...Did you forget something there?" Lizzie asked a little confused about why Ellie wanted to go back.
"No...Just come on." Ellie said.
Lizzie drove Ellie back to the ice arena and they both went inside. Ellie put her tights, skirt, and skates back on. Lizzie rented a pair of skates and then sat down on a bench next to Ellie.
"Ellie, what are you doing?" Lizzie asked tying her skates.
"It all coming back to me!" Ellie told her happily. "I think I remember my whole routine."
"Thats great." Lizzie said.
"Here..." Ellie took a cd out of her bag and handed it to Lizzie. "Go tell them to turn on this music."
Lizzie took the tape and asked the people to turn it on for Ellie. She then went and got onto the ice and saw Ellie skating around to her warm-up music. She watched Ellie get ready to do a double axel. She went into it with her head up and back straight then pushed off from the ice. She cleanly landed it, she didn't stop there though. She went right into a double toe loop and it that jump prefectly as well.
Ellie continued to skate to her upbeat music doing jumps, spins, and crossovers. She did all of everything extremely well, almost as though she never had her accident. Finally her music stopped and she skated over and hugged Lizzie.
"Lizzie! I did it!" Ellie cried out in excitment.
"You sure did!" Lizzie said, she was very proud of her friend. "I knew you could do it!"
"Oh my gosh...I don't know why but seeing your brother and his girlfriend helped me remember like everything." Ellie said in excitment.
"That is so freaky." Lizzie said. "I guess it was just a minor case of amnesia."
"Well whatever it was it is gone now." Ellie smiled.

~Ellie's memory finally came back! Ya! But how do the trials go? Does she even goto them? Does Kate finally come around and apologize to Ellie? ~Yeah, I know I have been ignoring Kate...but she plays a huge role in the next chapter.~ Anyway...Review and I will post the next chapter.
Reminder: I own NADA! Not any characters, or any skating compitions...NADA!
