Chapter 9: China's on! The Grand Prix Series Opening Event!!!
Ariana sighed as she sat down and watched as some of the male skaters warm up. The women's skate was to begin after they have gone, and she is curently watching Georgi. Ariana simply smiled as she walked down and leaned against the rink. She grabbed her vibrating phone and answered it.
"Oh! Yuri! How is everything?"
'I just wanted to check on you.'
"Awe, is Yuri Plisetsky worried about me." Ariana gushed.
'No I'm not! Shut up hag!'
"We're the same age Yuri, calling me a hag does not effect me."
'Whatever. Just know that we will be watching you, so don't screw up.'
"Such encouraging words, Yuri. I will give it my all, do not worry."
'Yeah whatever, I have to go.'
"Bye bye."
'Bye.'
Ariana sighed as she hung up the phone. She then sat back down as the first skater was up. It was a skater from Thailand, age 20. His free program was good, that she will admit, she even found herself clapping along.
"An excellent performance from Phichit Chulan on with a total of 89.75"
Ariana clapped as a skater from China went on.
^~^~^
"Yuri, your pal is up! Come and watch with us." Mila said.
"I'm fine, I can see from here."
^~^~^
"The last skater from group one is Yuuri Katsuki from Japan."
Ariana perked up as she sat on the first bench, closet to the rink.
"Go, Yuuri!" She shouted, surprising both him and Victor, but both smiled nonetheless.
"The next skater representing Japan, Yuuri Katsuki."
As the song began Yuuri seductively licked his lip, which caused Ariana to blush as she watched intensly.
"Right Yuuri Katsuki us skating his first program of the Grand Prix series. The music is On Love: Eros. He has said the them for his program this year is love."
"Well he's definitely a different skater from what we've seen in previous seasons, maybe living with his couch Victor Nikiforov has helped alter his confidence, something he's always struggled with."
"He sure seems to be dilievering on the Eros part of the program."
Ariana watched as Yuuri moved on the ice with grace.
'Come on Yuuri, shown them what you've got.'
"Here we go his first jump is a triple axle."
Ariana watched as he jumped.
"Now from a spread eagle to a...triple axle! Next up his is trickiest jump a quad salchow."
Yuri jumped as he did a quad salchow and he nailed it.
"Yes!" Ariana cheered a she jumped up.
"Quadruple toe loop followed by a triple toe loop! These jumps have been flawless!"
Ariana smiled as she cheered on for Yuuri. Yuuri then brought his program to an end.
"We have just witnesses the birth of a new Yuuri Katsuki!"
"Yes! Good job Yuuri!" Ariana cheered. Yuuri's score was 106.84, putting him in first. After that it was Georgi's turn. Ariana sighed as she stood next to Yakov as he lectured him.
"Go easy on him Yakov." The teen yawned as he glared at her, "Good luck Georgi!"
Georgi skated to the middle of the rink. Ariana watched as he skated, knowing that it was about his ex girlfriend that he still loved, as she watched she noticed that he was actually crying. She sweat dropped at his actions.
'He's way to in to his performance.'
Once his performance was over he ended with a score of 98.17, placing him in second.
"Good job Georgi!" Ariana cheered.
Next was a skater from the U.S. and his short program was great.
"Are all American boys good looking." Ariana mumbled as he ended his program. Ending in third place. After him was another skater from Switzerland. His skating was seductive, it even had Ariana squeling, once he finished his rank was fifth. Ariana got up and started to walk off.
"Where are you going?"
"To talk with Victor of course."
"No! Ariana, get back here!"
But the blonde ignored him as she ran off to where the skaters would be she stopped once she saw Yuuri, Victor and the skater from Thailand Phichit and the skater from China Guang Hong Ji.
"Yuuri! That performance was great!" The blonde yelled as she ran over, causing all four males to look at her, but for Guang and Phichit it was like watching her run in slow motion as flowers rained behind her as she had a closed eye smile, causing the two to blush. The blonde leaped up and hugged Yuuri tight.
"That was the best performance I've seen!" She said, her Russian accent still heavy. She pulled away.
"Ar-Ariana! I forgot you were here, you're skating soon right."
"Yes! And I'm gonna give it my all." She saidas she winked while giving a thumbs up.
"Hello Ari."
"Victor!" The blonde said as she hugged him. Once she pulled away she noticed the other boys.
"Hello! I'm Ariana Ivanov! Can I say that you guy's performance was great as well!"
"Th-thanks!" They stuttered.
"Wait a second, you're Russia's ice princess aren't you?" Phichit asked.
"Yep! In the flesh!"
"Wait how old are you again?" Both asked.
"15."
"What?!"
'Only two years apart.' Guang thought.
'Man that's a 5 year difference. Now I'm just being creepy!'
"I have to warm up. Do you two promise to watch me?" Ariana asked Yuuri and Victor.
"Of course! We will support you all the way!" Victor said as Yuuri nodded his head in agreement.
"We'll watch too!" Phichit said.
"Great! You guys are the best!" Ariana said as she ran off, as she was practicing she tried to do all quadruple salchow. But ended up falling.
"How long are you planning to lay their in my way."
Ariana looked up to see a figure with short blonde hair, the tips icy blue, glaring down at her. Her honey toned skin really complimented her beautiful golden eyes. Ariana stared a bit until she remembered that she was in the girl's way.
"Ah! So sorry!" Ariana panicked as she tried to hurry to pick herself up, only to slip and fall again.
"Don't bother anymore, you're only going to make more of a fool of yourself."
'Fool?! Who does this girl think she is?!'
The tall woman placed her hands on her hips and smirked. "It was quite daring to try to perform a quadruple salchow, knowing you would fail, in front of everyone. If I were to do it, I would at least try to make my failure look good."
"Hey! I know I failed so you don't have to rub it in! The least you could do is-" Ariana retorted before she was cut off.
"And do what? Help you up?" The blonde snickered.
'What is with this girl's attitude?! I don't know what her problem is but it's seriously starting to piss me off.'
Ariana gave the blonde an icy cold stare.
"Hmmm.....alright I'll help you." The girl gave a sour smile as she stuck out her hand.
'Maybe she's not all that bad...'
"Thank you." Ariana said as she grabbed to blonde's hand and pulled her up.
"Don't take this the wrong way. I only helped you out of pity not of kindness."
'Sigh....and here I thought she might be nice....'
Ariana decided to ignore the girl's comment and introduce herself. "Im Ariana Ivanov by the way."
"Save it." She snapped.
'Rude!'
"You're name doesn't matter to me. In my eyes, you and all the rest of the skaters are nothing but worthless piles of trash blocking my path just waiting to be shoved out of the way!
'Trash?!'
The blonde continued, "The only name that will ever matter in this skate rink is my own! Quinn Evans!"
She triumphantly placed her hands on her hips.
'Now I'm angry!'
Ariana angrily moved closer and pointed her finger at Quinn's chest. "Look, I don't know what your deal is but it's beyond disrespectful to call all of the skaters, besides yourself, trash! They've all worked just as hard as you! So you have no right to-"
She was cut off by the announcers announcing all the skaters to be removed from the rink.
Quinn gave the most malicious glare at her and Ariana glared back.
Quinn was the first to speak "You better watch me out there so you could see what a real competition is."
Ariana only glared even harder before the announcer announced again.
"I'll see you when I'm standing on the 1st place podium" Quinn smirked before skating off.
Once two girls went their separate ways, the competition began.
"Next up is Quinn Evans, representing the United Kingdom."
Quinn skated onto the ice with a blue outfit Her hair was let down as she stood in the middle of the rink.
(Quinn's outfit)
The music then started.
As the music began Quinn skated elegantly to the song, her body moving to the beat of the majestic melody that flooded the audiences ears. Ariana was in shock at the way her body moved.
'So she really wasn't bluffing when she said she was good.' Ariana thought.
"And here comes her first jump which is a triple axle."
Quinn spun as she leaped into the air.
"And she nailed it!"
Her arms circled her body as she pushed herself out, leaning her head back.
"She's gonna try to preform a her special move....a quadruple salchow, she nailed it!"
"Wow." Ariana thought.
"So much talent for a 15 year old!"
"You can say that again."
Quinn skated back as she did a spread eagle.
"Here's a triple axle!" But Quinn slipped and fell, but she quickly used her hand to catch herself as she continued to skate flawlessly. As her program came to an end she spun and posed, her right arm over her eyes as her left arm crossed over her stomach.
"An excellent performance from Quinn Evans. She score with a 129.15, leaving her in first place!"
Ariana was putting her skates on when she heard foot steps as a king towards her.
"Hey you! Did you see that! You feel intimidated don't you?!"
She looked up to see Quinn.
"I may not really like you but you did good." Ariana said as she tied her skate up.
"I don't want your stupid praise you swine!" Quinn suddenly snapped.
Ariana looked back down as Quinn tied her blonde hair into a high ponytail.
"Whatever you say, Quinn" Ariana sighed.
"Next up is Ariana Ivanov, representing Russia."
"Pray you don't slip on your way into the rink." Quinn sneered.
Ariana ignored her as she skated in the rink and talked to Yakov.
^~^~^
"Yuri! Your girlfriend is on!" Mila said.
"She's not my girlfriend you hag!"
"I wonder how she'll do." Mila mused.
"She'll be fine." Yuri said.
^~^~^
"You got this."
"Okay."
"Don't let me down."
"I won't."
Ariana sighed as she skated to the middle of the rink with her red outfit on.
"Ariana said the theme for her program this year is self confidence."
Ariana waited for the music to start.
She smiled as she saw Yuuri and the others cheering for her. The music slowly filled her ears as she began to move to the rythem of the song, she skated to this song with passion.
"Her first jump is a triple axle."
I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us.
Ariana jumped and preformed a triple axel and landed
"And she nailed it!"
Ariana smiled brightly as she skated backwards in a circle.
I'm not scared to be seen! I make no apologies! This is me!
Ariana pounded her fist against her chest as she spun and preformed a spread eagle, throwing her arms out as they circled her body.
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out. I am brave, I am bruised, I am twho I'm meant to be. This is me.
As the music slowed down, so did she.
Look out cause hear I come! And I'm marching on to the beat I drum!
Ariana sped her movements up.
"A triple salchow followed by a quadruple toe loop."
As Ariana was midway through her quadruple toe loop her footing was off and she fell.
"Oh! She didn't land it! But she gets back up, that's a great skater right there!"
Ariana pushed herself back up with determination written on her face as she continued.
This is me!
Ariana threw her arms out as she posed. The whole crowd bursting out into cheers.
"And an excellent performance from Ariana Ivanov! Another talented 15 year old!"
Ariana sat with Yakov as they camera was on them.
"And her score is 128.12, leaving her in second place!"
"Well her coach looks happy!"
Yakov smiled as his arm was around her, Ariana smield as she winked at the camera giving them a heart with her hands.
"That was great Ari! I'm so proud of you!" Victor said as he squeezed the blonde girl.
"Victor...can't breath!"
"Oops! Sorry."
"That was great Ariana." Yuuri smiled.
"Thanks Yuuri."
"You did good!" Guang and Phichit said as she laughed.
"Thanks guys!"
"Ariana!"
Ariana turned to see her U.K. competitor.
"Oh, hey Quinn." Ariana said unenthusiastically.
Quinn marched up and stuck her with a scrunched up look on her face.
"Don't you dare think you're better than me! I'm the greatest! Mark my words I will beat you in the finals!"
She then stomped away.
Ariana sweat dropped, along with everyone else.
"I see you already made a rival." Victor mused
"Yeah, she's fun." Ariana said sarcastically.
"Ariana!"
"Whoops. Yakov is calling me, well I gotta go, see you guys later!" The blonde yelled as she ran to her couch.
'Until we meet again Quinn Evans. And I will beat you.'
