~Yeah, I know, it's a weird song for Ariana to skate to, but this is her way of pissing her mom off, and she will skate like the girl in the video, I'll just add a few jumps~

After the whole Yurri incident, Ariana was lying down in her bed, wide awake. Her competition was tomorrow, and if she was being honest with herself, she was scared. She was scared of her with Quinn, she was worried if she would lose to Quinn. To be honest, she though that Quinn was a fantastic skater, she seemed to bring the U.K. out of the shadows. Ariana sighed as she rolled over on her side and hugged her pillow close to her.

"I promise I'll win." Ariana whispered to herself as she drifted off to sleep.

^~^~^

"Ariana."

The blonde stirred in her sleep as she mumbled something and hugged her pillow over.

"Ariana."

"Not now...I'm tired." She mumbled.

"Ariana!"

The person ripped her blankets off, causing the young russian girl to jump up from her posistion.

"I'm up!"

The teenage girl looked up to see none other than Yuri Plisetsky.

"Took you long enough." He growled.

"Hey, Yuri!" The blonde cheered as she threw her arms around his neck.

"Let go you hag!" Yuri yelled as he tried to get out of her grip. Once he managed to pull away he sighed.

"Yakov said to get ready, you preform in a few hours."

Ariana sat there with a blank look on her face as her brain was empty, question marks floated around her head. Until a lightbulb appeared.

"I have a preformance!" The blonde shouted as she jumped out of her bed and raced out of her room and down the hall, dust appearing behind her as she passed by Yuuri.

"Good luck today Yuuri!"

"Th-thanks!"

The blonde ran all the way to the rink, where Yakov was waiting for her.

"There you are!"

"Sorry!" Ariana said as she sat down and started to put her skates on. The women's Prix Fianls were early today, so the men Prix Finals would be later in the day. But now it was Ariana's time to shine. After she finished tying her skates she skated onto the ice to do her warm ups. A familiar girl with short blonde hair and icy tips came into view. She had a cold look as she glared at Ariana. Silently challenging her, Ariana only shook it off. Yakov had allowed her to do a song from America, allowed her to change her normal routine up a bit. He too wanted to press Lucy Ivanov's buttons, since she was coming to todays competition.

Ariana was determined today, no one would change that. Once all of the skaters were called to get off of the ice, Ariana went to her chaneing room and slipped her outfit on, a long green jacket placed over it. She sighed as she stretched her limbs as skaters were called out one by one to perform. Sala preformed well as well as Mila. It was getting closer to Ariana's turn and her nerves were getting the best of her. She knew Yuri and Yuuri were gonna be watching her, as well as her mother, and she was not prepared for that.

"Next up we have Quinn Evans representing the United Kingdom."

The announcers said as Quinn skated out with a purple outfit.

"Her theme this year is sorrow. She's been working on this program since the last competition and has claimed that she has improved since then."

Ariana stepped out to watch Quinn perform. The look of determination was etched onto her features. Her gloden eyes hardened as the music started.

Once it did, her body moved in sync with the music. The song was sad, Ariana felt as she was dragged into the girls past, at least that's how the song made her feel. Quinn's arms moved with the song.

"Here comes her first jump, a triple salchow."

Quinn jumped and nailed it.

"And she nailed it! What a talented 15 year old."

Quinn did a spread eagal as she spun in a wide circle, eventually bringing her leg above her head as she held it up and spun down, realising the leg as she was low on the floor.

"She said her main goal was to beat Ariana Ivanov, and so far this performance is amazing, we'll have to wait and see how Ariana will prefom later today."

'Can you see me, Ariana? How I'm better!'

Quinn thought as she skated, memories filling her mind.

'Mommy! I wanna skate just like Ariana! She's amazing!' A young Quinn said, her short blonde hair framing her small round face. Her mother before her laid on a hospital bed. She smiled lightly at her daughter.

"Do you know? Then maybe Rihanna can help you?" Her mother asked as Quinn looked at her older sister who was about 15, while she was 5. Rihanna had long brown hair and honey skin, along with golden eyes, she had a beauty mark just below her left eye. The teenage girl nodded her head as she smiled at her mother. Quinn smiled brightly as she cheered.

'I'll beat you...'

Quinn gritted her teeth as she did a quadruple salchow and landed it.

The now 6 and 16 year old girls stood in the rain dressed in black as they stood infront of a tombstone. The young girl sniffled softly as her older sister held her closely, her own eyes glistening with tears.

"...I'll show everyone that I am better than you..."

"Rihanna Evans skating days seem to be over, the young 21 year old woman took a hard fall during her last performance, bringing her skating days to a end."

11 year old Quinn Evans sat next to her sisters bed. As her sister rested, she pulled her back calf muscle, along with breaking her ankle. The doctors said that once the surgery was done, she might never be able to skate again.

"I promise big sister...I'll be the best skater in the world!"

'...I'll win for them!'

Quinn got to the end of her performance, posing as the song ended. The crowd breaking out in applause. Quinn bowed as she skated off of the rink. Making sure she bumped shoulders with Ariana on the way out. As Quinn walked off to get her score Ariana watched as she walked off, a tear ran down Ariana's face.

'That was...beautiful.'

"And Quinn Evans ends with a 124.2 leaving her in first place! Her coachs seems to be happy!"

Quinn's coach hugged her as Quinn cheered.

"She was pretty good." Yuuri said.

"Ariana is better. She'll beat her." Yuri stated as he looked at the blonde.

"Next up we have Ariana Ivanov representing Russia."

Ariana skated onto the ice, her blonde hair in a high ponytail as she wore a green trench coat, along with a red hat and headphones. She skated out into the middle of the rank as she skated around, moving her hips as the beat of the music started, she moved her head as she skated to the middle, sassily pulling her hat off, along with the headphones and unbuttoning her coat as she threw it off, reveling her school out fit. A white button up with a red tie and plaid red skirt.

"The hell." Lucy muttered as she watched her daughter.

"Huh?!" Katsuki and Plisetsky yelled.

"What an idiot." Quinn sneered.

Ariana moved her hips to the music as she stepped and moved her hands to the music.

"Well...this is definately a different style for Ariana."

Ariana skated around the ice as she got ready for her first jump.

"Here comes her first jump a quadruple salchow...nailed it! Followed by a triple toe loop! And she landed it!"

Ariana smiled as she moved along with the music.

'I'll show you all what I can do! Now watch me!'

Ariana wipped her hair around as she gestered to the crowd, who cheered. Ariana skated towards the middle as she moved her hips and pointed at each person in the crowd.

"Wow." Yuuri Katsuki said.

"Yeah." Yuri said.

Ariana the slid on the floor and pushed herself up as she posed, forming a peace sign as she winked out to the crowd, who cheered.

"An amazing performance from Ariana Ivanov!"

Ariana bowed and waved as she skated off of the rink. Quinn waiting for her.

"You're a joke." She sneered as Ariana only smiled and walked past her and met up with Yakov.

"Not bad kid."

The two sat down as Ariana hugged a teddy bear.

"And Ariana ends with a 122.7, leaving her in second place!"

Ariana cheered as she hugged Yakov, she may have not won first, but she had fun, and that was all that mattered to her.

"Ariana!"

As the two were walking off they were stopped by none other then Lucy Ivanov.

"The hell was that out there?"

"My program."

"It was a joke." Lucy grolwed.

"Enough Lucy, I can't have you drowning her mind." Yakov said as he placed his hands on Ariana's shoulders and steered her away from the woman. A light smile crossed her features.

This is only the beginning
