Chapter Eight: The Sectionals

Author's Note:

The surprise guest star is here! And, you won't believe it but, it's Shego! Well, now known as Shelia Go, after she was released from jail as a kind citizen. She's de-mutated, she she doesn't have green skin, and she doesn't have the green power that comes out of her hands anymore. Her appearance is still similar, only she wears human clothes, and she has a ordinary skin hue of a white skinned person. She is, yes, Dawn's coach, and Kim's previous coach. And, I think I should list the actors and actresses of the presentation, if this was a movie. Christy Carlson Romano (Even Stevens, Kim Possible, Campus Confindential)will star as Kim, Will Friedle (Boy Meets World and Kim Possible)as Ron, Frankie Muniz (Malcolm In The Middle, Agent Cody Banks)as Adam, Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls and The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants) as Dawn, Nicole Sullivan (King of Queens and Kim Possible) as Shelia Go, John DiMaggio (Kim Possible, American Dragon: Jake Long, Futurama) as Dr. Drakken, and Kristen Storms (Kim Possible, That's So Raven, Zenon Movies) as Bonnie Rockwaller and Connie Flagg. For now, here is Chapter Eight: The Sectionals, featuring Superchick's "Get Up" from the Ice Princess Soundtrack. Also, Reaching for Heaven is replaced with "Unwritten." Enjoy and I'll meet you at Chapter Nine: Unwritten. ;-)

"Shelia, I'm nervous." Dawn said to her coach the next evening. It was the Sectionals. Dawn's second one. She prepared herself, but she was still nervous.

"Yeah, like you ever got nervous for these things." Shelia replied.

Shelia had wavy, raven black hair, and green eyes lighter than Kim's. She usually wore green or black clothing, but sometimes she wore similar or different colours. Today, she was wearing a green sweater jacket and jeans. She wore runners with it.

"Shelia, you know skating is my life." Dawn protested.

"Yeah, so was your family." Shelia frowned, taking out a water bottle from her bag.

Dawn sighed. She knew what this was about.

"You heard, didn't you?" Dawn asked.

"Y'think?" Shelia retorted, "It was on the news! You know, I used to know your mother. Not as a friend, nor a rival, nor an outsider. Infact, I didn't even go to school with her. But once I was let out of jail, and got de-mutated, which I'm sure I told you about, I became a human, and a coach for your mother. And she also was in the Sectionals."

"Okay, I'm sorry!" Dawn blurted out, standing up on her skates, "It's just...I made a big mistake, okay! For...something that wasn't real! Now, this is one mistake that I can never fix! I...I thought Martin was real! I thought that he was a living being that can help me live a new life! I thought he was someone that I can count on! But, he wasn't! Instead, he was a stupid synthodrone, pretending to be a human that I fell in love with!"

There was a brief silence. Then, Dawn spoke up again. "How could I be so stupid? I let my family down. And I hope they're watching. From the best seats of the house."

Shelia's expression turned into a smile. "That's a good girl. C'mon, it's almost your turn."

"Our final skater for the first half of the competition is Dawn Stoppable from Middleton, Colorado."

"Good luck." Shelia smiled, and helped Dawn to get on the ice.

Dawn was dressed in a blue satin dress with crystals that decorated the rim of the neck.

Dawn got in her starting position, and began to skate like the way she did at the Bueno Nacho Headquarters as the music began to play.

I'm not afraid to fall
It means I climbed up high
To fall is not to fail
You fail when you don't try
I'm not afraid to fall
I might just learn to fly
And I will spread these wings of mine

Dawn did a double lutz, and slipped when she landed, causing her to fall, and waste precious time. The crowd began to laugh and giggle, and even snicker. Dawn just continued.

If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
We'll get up anyway
If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see
Even if it's for the 20th time
We'll just jump and see
If we can fly

Dawn leaped into the air and cheerleader kicked. The crowd went wild again. Dawn continued to skate gracefully around the rink.

I'm not afraid to fall
And here I told you so
Don't want to rock the boat
But I just had to know
Just a greener side
Or can I touch the sky
But either way I will try

Dawn began skating backwards and used her toe pick to launch herself in the air and complete a double axel. She continued with her program with a spiral.

If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
We'll get up anyway
If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see
Even if it's for the 30th time
We'll just jump and see if we could fly

Dawn was spinning, when all of a sudden, she saw her mother and her father, completely solid, at the top of the audience block infront of her. They were smiling, urging her to continue and do her best.

Dawn smiled, and began to skate gracefully, and more fiercely. She did a triple lutz to start off.

"Whoa!" one of the announcers exclaimed, "That triple lutz was unexpected!"

Dawn cheerleader kicked in mid-air, camel spun when she landed, layback spinned, and combo camel spun. She began to skate fast, then, she did another unexpected triple lutz.

"Samantha, this is the greatest recovery since the year of 1989!" the first announcer exclaimed as the crowd began to cheer.

I'm not afraid to fall
I've fallen many times
They laughed when I fell down
But I have dared to climb
I'm not afraid to fall
I know I'll fall again
But I can win this in the end

Dawn began to spiral and then did a triple loop. The crowd began to cheer.

"Now that was also unexpected!" Samantha exclaimed, "Samuel, I think you're right! She's going to make it to first place!"

If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
We'll get up anyway
If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
I might fall back down again
We'll just jump and see
Even if it's for the 40th time
We'll just jump and see if we could fly

Dawn did a camel spin, then a layback spin, then she continued to skate. She launched herself up on her toe pick and did a triple lutz perfectly. The crowd went wild.

"Samantha, this girl knows how to bring the crowd to it's feet!" Samuel exclaimed.

"She even knows how to save up the time that she wasted when she fell earlier!" Samantha exclaimed, "She's going to make it to the gold medal!"

If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
We'll get up anyway
If I get up I might fall back down again
So let's get up
C'mon
If I get up I might fall back down again
I might fall back down again...

Dawn did a final spin, and bowed as the music ended.

The crowd cheered wildly as Dawn began to bow. She did it. She finished the first half of the competition. Now there was no stopping her from losing.

Dawn looked up and saw her parents still there, clapping wildly. Ron whistled and whooped.

Dawn smiled and bowed. Then, she went off the rink.
