Hey guys. Thanks again for all the reviews I have been getting. Keep them coming.
Also, I just want you to know, I'm sorry it has been so long since I have updated this story. This week has really been the hardest week of my whole life...You see on Monday night (Just as I was beging to write this chapter) I found out that one of the girls from my school died in a car crash. And since I go to a smaller school, where pretty much everyone knows each other...Everyone in the school was greatly saddened by her death. All week long in school we could just be sitting in class talking and someone would burst into tears. It has been really hard on everyone. RIP ^*^*^, we all love and miss you very much. Please pray for this girl's family, believe me, they need all the prayers they can get.
I know you could probably care less about what I just wrote above, but I just wanted to fill you in on why I have not been updating lately. I will try my hardest to update this story as much as I can. If not, you will know why. So please just be patient with me for the time being.
Reminder: I own none of the characters from Lizzie McGuire, nor do I get payed for writing this.

The next day, Ellie went into school feeling a whole lot better than she had been in a long time. Now that she knew her chances at the trials were better, she was much more moviated.
"Hey guys." Ellie said as she sat down at the table where Gordo and Miranda were sitting at lunch later.
"Hey Ellie." Miranda said. "How are you doing?"
"Pretty good." Ellie said as she opened her water bottle.
"So Lizzie says you were doing really well at skating yesterday." Gordo said trying to spark conversation.
"Yeah, I don't know what it was, but I just seemed to remember everything last night after seeing Matt and Andrea." Ellie said.
"Well, thats cool." Miranda said. "I think I'm going to come to your practice today with Lizzie. Is that cool with you?"
"Yeah thats fine." Ellie said. She then looked and saw a blonde girl sitting alone on the other side of the cafeteria. "Hey, whos that over there?"
Miranda looked where Ellie was pointing. "Thats Kate."
Ellie looked at the girl again. Could that really be the Kate that Ellie had hated so much before her accident. It couldn't be. The Kate that Ellie remembered was always wearing the prettiest clothes, her hair was always prefect, and she always had a ton of make-up on. Not to mention the fact she always seemed to look all snobby with a ton of friends around her. But the girl Ellie was looking at was wearing jeans and a baby tee. Her hair was just pulled into a ponytail and she had barely any make-up on. And she was all alone. What happened to her?
"Why is she all alone?" Ellie asked.
"No one told you?" Miranda asked in surprise.
"No..." Ellie began.
"It was like right after she hurt you that Ethan broke up with her, she got dropped from the cheerleading squad, and she was being ignored by all of her friends." Gordo explained. "Her plan of revenge didn't really work all that well."
"I guess not." Ellie said. She looked at Kate and sighed. Even though she remembered hating her, and that Kate was the one who almost ruin her chance at the Olympics...she hated seeing anyone miserable.

Lizzie drove Ellie and Miranda to the ice arena after school was over. Ellie went and changed into her tights and black skating skirt. She then put her skates on and laced them.
"I did it last night, I can do it again." Ellie said her herself as she walked out of the locker room.
"Hey there Ellie." Timothy greeted her with a smile, like always.
"Are you ready to work on your triple jumps?" Timothy asked.
"How about I just warm-up like I used to?" Ellie suggested.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"I'm positive." Ellie said with a smile as she handed him a CD.
"All right then." Timothy said as Ellie went and got on the ice.
Ellie skated out to the middle of the empty ice rink, waiting for her music to start. Finally the music to Eiffel 65's song "Move Your Body" came on. Ellie started out with just trying her crossovers, then going into a camel spin. She skated quickly to the music and then went into a triple salchow, double toe combination. She finished skating to the song doing several jumps and spins. Finally the song ended and Ellie saw Timothy skating toward her and clapping.
"Wow!" Timothy said as he gave Ellie a hug. "When did your memory come back?"
"Last night." Ellie told him. "My friend brought me back up hear and I just began skating like there was never a problem."
"Well, do you think you can do your long program?" Timothy asked her.
"I think it is possible." Ellie said smiling.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Lizzie and Miranda sat and watched Ellie skate to her new long program, which still had no music to it.
"Wow, she is really good." Miranda said in awe as she watched Ellie do a triple flip jump.
"I know." Lizzie smiled. "I was so proud of her last night when I watched her skate. Its almost like she got a second chance."
"Thats pretty cool." Miranda smiled. "Wouldn't it be so cool is she did win a medal at the Olympics?"
"That would be so awesome." Lizzie said. "But lets not jinx her chances."
There was a pause as they sat watching Ellie. "I know this is random...But do you feel bad for Kate?" Miranda asked.
"What are you talking about?" Lizzie asked in surprise.
"I mean think about it..." Miranda began. "Yeah she did hurt Ellie, but have you seen her lately?"
Lizzie thought a minute. "I guess I feel a little bad for her."
"I mean, I'm still mad at her for what she did. But I ran into her the other day and she dropped her books on the ground and she said nothing to me." Miranda told her friend. "There is no more fun in hating her."
"She has been acting a little zoned out lately." Lizzie said as she pictured the way Kate had been looking the past week.

"Ellie!" Claire called to Ellie the next day at lunch. "Come sit with us!"
Ellie nervously walked toward the popular table. She never really got along with any of them, even after they all had ditched Kate. She took her backpack off and sat next to Claire. "Hey." She smiled.
"Hey Ellie." Mary said sweetly. "Whats up?"
"Nothing much." Ellie said.
"Thats cool." Mary said. "Listen, I'm having this huge party Saturday night. You wanna come?"
Ellie thought a moment. "Sorry, I already had plans." She lied.
"Oh, can't you rescheudule?" Claire asked.
"Not really." Ellie said.
"Well if you change you mind...The offer still stands." Mary told her.
They began to talk about what they would wear to the party on Saturday night and all Ellie wanted to do was get out of there.
"I know what I am NOT wearing." Mary said.
"Whats that?" Kristen, a fellow cheerleader with pretty red hair, asked.
"Something like that loser over there." Mary said in a sassy tone as she pointed over towards Kate who was once again sitting all alone.
All the girls laughed.
"Yeah, can you believe we used to be friends with her?" Claire said with a laugh.
Ellie sighed as she looked over at Kate. She hated her for the way she got revenge, but yet, Ellie hated seeing her look so unhappy. She then stood up and grabbed her backpack.
"Hey Ellie, where are you going?" Claire asked.
"Don't worry about it." Ellie said. She then walked over to the empty table Kate was sitting at and sat down next to her. "Hey Kate."
Kate looked up. "What do you want?" She asked in her usual tone.
"Just to come sit here with you." Ellie said.
"Why would you do that?" Kate asked. "I'm the biggest loser in school, why would the famous Maire Carft want to sit with me?"
"Because, I just wanted to tell you something." Ellie began.
"And what is that?" Kate asked as she folded her arms.
"I forgive you." Ellie told her.
Kate stopped a moment. "Excuse me?" She asked in a lighter tone.
"I said I forgive you for pushing me down while I was skating." Ellie repeated.
Kate looked at her a moment. "Even though I almost ruined your chances to get to the Olympics and..." She sounded bewildered.
"Yes Kate." Ellie said.
"Why?" Kate asked her.
"Because..." Ellie said. "I suffered from the fall a little bit, but thats all over now. I'm skating just like I did before the accident happened, there is no reason to keep an old fued going anyway."
Kate was silence for a minute, just staring at Ellie. She then began crying. "I'm so sorry Ellie!" She sobbed.
Ellie hugged Kate. She then helped Kate up and they went into the girls bathroom so they could talk privately. "Kate, its alright." She said as Kate hoisted herself onto the counter.
"No its not okay!" Kate yelled. "I'm such a loser that I would make myself feel better by ruining your chances to do something great. How shallow is that?" She then buried her face in her hands and sobbed.
"Kate, its normal to be jealous of other people." Ellie said slowly.
"But how many people do something like I did?" Kate asked. "I'm such a loser! I have no friends, no boyfriend, nothing to do after school...NOTHING!"
Ellie watched Kate cry for the next couple minutes. She didn't know what to say to her.
Kate finally looked up. "You probably think I'm the biggest baby, don't you?" She asked Ellie.
Ellie handed her a tissue. "No, I don't." She told her. "Sometimes you just need to let it all out."
Kate wiped her tears with the tissue. "Thanks Ellie. I really wish I had a friend like you."
"Who said you couldn't?" Ellie asked.
Kate shook her head. "After what I did to you, how could we be friends?"
"Well you know, I was once told that the key to the future is to forget the past." Ellie told her. "I'm willing to start over if you are."
Kate nodded. "I can agree with that."
"Good." Ellie smiled.
The two girls walked out of the bathroom and went on to class. Ellie was happy to see Kate smile for the first time, in a long time.
