Lost and out of sight

The music started and Mikaela waited a little, but then immediately recognizing which song it was. A small smile rested on her lips as she then began to move.

She had actually seen one of her idols skate to this song, Ashley Wagner, so she had begun to learn the choreography which she had skated to the song. It still wasn't her best version, but she didn't care. One day, she wanted, or rather she hoped for Ashley to notice her. [Video at the top is Ashley Wagner and the song / choreo Mika skates.]

At the end, Mikaela heard the girls applaud, along with a voice yelling "You looked amazing, Mikaela!" Immediately her facial expression dropped and she turned to see Viktor standing there with the two Yuris.

Viktor smiled wide at her, his mouth having a kind of heart-like shape, which Mikaela actually found a little cute. Skating over to the side, she ignored the men and looked at the triplets, asking "How was that?"

"That was so amazing! Did you really improvise that?" They weirdly managed to ask at the same time. Mikaela chuckled and smiled at the girls "No, not really. A woman who I look up to skated that routine a while ago, to that song. So I decided to learn that choreography. Maybe I'll impress her one day, who knows?"

"So it's just like how I came across to coaching Yuri! He also skated one of my choreographies and the girls posted it online, so I came here to teach Yuri." Viktor said, to which Mikaela quickly shot back "You just had no idea what to do this season and decided to come here out of pure spontaneity and boredom."

Sudden silence filled the room as the Russian legend and the German prodigy stared at each other, Viktor having a serious and stern expression on, while Mikaela gave a slight challenging but also bored I-don't-care look.

"I didn't come here because I was bored." Viktor then said, making Mikaela raise an eyebrow "Oh really? I'm sorry hun, but I've caught that up in a different way." "Mika..." Yuuri carefully said, looking from his friend to Viktor, a slight anxious expression lingering on his face. What if Mika was right?

"Can I talk to you outside?" Viktor then asked and frowned a little at the blonde woman in front of him. "No. You've got something to say to me, then say it here." Mikaela replied and crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Again a moment of silence began to hover above them, before Mikaela clicked her tongue and sent a short glare at Viktor "Well, guess it ain't that important then." Before Viktor then could say anything to that, Mikaela stepped off the ice, grabbed her bag and strutted off.

"If I were you, I would not try to talk to her for the next couple of hours." Takeshi said to Viktor, who seemed like he wanted to follow Mikaela and talk to her. "C'mon Viktor, we're not here to flirt with some girls. We're here to train so we can go back to Russia together!" Yuri said and watched Viktor, unimpressed.

Viktor seemed to sway back and forth, before he sighed and then nodded "Well then, onto the ice!"

Whenever Mikaela was frustrated, she'd go on a run. She had her headphones on, listening to a random playlist, not knowing how long she's been jogging now. If she had one thing limitless, it was stamina.

She didn't know how long she had been jogging, as all of a sudden her phone rang, pulling her out of her thoughts. Mikaela came to a stop and pulled her phone out, not even bothering to check the caller ID, before answering. "Lewis." She simply said.

"I think I should know who I'm calling, shouldn't I?" The voice asked and Mikaela sighed "I'm sorry, Chris, I don't really have the nerves to chat right now." "Oh right, you should be packing and getting ready for your flight."
