"Dawn, you did great out there!" Shelia exclaimed as Dawn began rubbing her feet.
"The current placements are first place, Dawn Stoppable..."
"Yes! I'm first!" Dawn exclaimed.
"By the way, you kinda paused out there for a moment." Shelia said, "Did you see something?"
"Not something, Shelia." Dawn answered, "Someones. My parents are alive. I saw them through the whole program. And when I turned to bow, they were still there. And their solid. I think they escaped."
"You know, I still don't know how they even got there before you in the first place." Shelia said.
"They told me to meet me there." Dawn answered, "They told me what room, what directions, and what to look out for."
"Good girl." Shelia smiled, "Now, rub your feet for five minutes, and drink lots of water." Shelia handed Dawn a water bottle.
"Shelia, I'm nervous." Dawn quivered.
"Calm down." Shelia reassured, "Take a deep breath and let it out."
Dawn did what she was told to.
Shelia gave Dawn a box of ear plugs. "Put those on."
"Why?" Dawn asked.
"Don't ask." Shelia replied, "When you fall, you get nervous. When you bring the crowd to its feet, there's pressure. No one else exists."
Dawn nodded, and put two moldable ear plugs in her ear.
Shelia took outa small diamond tiara out of her pocket, and placed it on Dawn's head. "It used to be your mother's." Shelia answered, "I think she'll be really proud if she saw you wearing it. She wore this when she skated her second Sectionals. She told me to pass it down to you when you were ready. I think you're ready." - Shelia stepped back and looked at Dawn. She smiled. - "You look like an Ice Princess."
Dawn smiled.
"Okay, you're up next." Shelia said.
"Our final skater for tonight is Dawn Stoppable"
The crowd cheered as Dawn entered the rink. As Dawn entered, she realised something about her parents.
They both had silver hair, and her mother only had a few wrinkles, while her father didn't have any. Did they age to come back to life, or did Drakken use the wrong Annialation Ray on them and used an aging one instead?
I'll find out later... Dawn thought to herself, as she was at the center of the rink, as the music began.
I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned
Dawn shot her head up and began to skate gracefully as the first verse began. She did a camel spin, then a layback spin. She skated backwards, and did a double axel.
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Dawn skated forward, and did a triple lutz. The crowd cheered.
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Dawn continued to skate. She did a layback spin, a spiral, and, unexpectedly, a double loop.
"Okay, that double loop wasn't expected!" Samuel exclaimed.
"Already, she's making unexpected turns." Samantha exclaimed, "If she makes a fall, it won't matter. The double loop will cover it up."
"But if she falls on a triple lutz which is coming up, then, she'll have to make a large recovery." Samuel added.
I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way
Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you can not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Dawn did a triple loop, then did her triple lutz, and landed perfectly. The crowd went wild.
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No on else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
Dawn did a spiral, a camel spin, a layback spin, a double axel, then, a triple loop unexpectedly, and then the final triple lutz, landing perfectly.
The crowd went wild.
"She perfected her final triple lutz and that was also the final jump in her program!" Samantha exclaimed, "She's going for the gold!"
Feel the rain on your skin

Dawn did a final layback spin and bowed as the song ended. The crowd cheered wildly, even her parents.
Dawn bowed lowly, and gracefully. People threw roses down to her, where the little girls dressed in a florecent skating outfits collected them and dropped them in a plastic bin that an adult was holding out for them.
Dawn smiled. She bowed again, in the direction of her parents. Kim and Ron began to applaud wildly.
