Unexpected ▪ Yuri On Ice

Epilogue

20 years later

"Lads and Ladies! Welcome to Hasetsus best ever reunion where all of us are winners. Honestly, the things some people are getting up to are mind blowing. I'm Chris Giacometti incase you've somehow forgotten me and I'm immensely honoured I was chosen to do the main speech today.

Apparently my good friend Yuuri wasn't, as soon as he heard I'd be speaking he decided not to bring his daughter. Thanks for that Yuuri. 

I'm so happy to see so many faces; even Yakov is here. How are you still alive man?

Unfortunately Carson couldn't make it over here but I would like to thank him; he payed for this beautiful hall, for the wonderful staff, the food and the fine wine which was incredibly kind of him. Did you know he's the CEO of the engineering company in Europe?

Really everybody here has made a footprint in history and I'm so proud of all of you. I mean, look at me, I'm the most well known actor, screenwriter and director in my industry. Although, if your kids know who I am you might want to restrict their Internet access.

Can you believe there are three sports stars in the room? Jean and Victor played on the same football team in their day and Yuri Plisetsky has just retired with two Olympic gold medals in gymnastics along with all the other titles he's won.

I'm not the only one working in entertainment; Pichit Chulanont is a musical theater legend, he's directed the highest grossing musical in two decades and Otabek Altin is a music producer whose worked with more than a few chart topping artists. Let's not forget Emil, now a famous YouTuber with what I hear is lots of cash.

I've dedicated an entire section to Victor and Yuuri Katsuki Nikiforov because, well, they're my best friends to this day, I'm biased and they are genuinely a powerful couple. Also it's their 10 year aniversary so do congratulate them later. God, there's so much I could say; when Victor was forced to retire due to injury he came crying to me about the future of his career, worried he'd become useless to his husband who was just finishing his PHD in something nerdy. I told him he wouldn't die out, he was too dazzling for that. Now look, he's the most well known sports journalist anchor guy on tv and is in the process of creating his own late night show.

Then there's Yuuri, this powerhouse of a man has BS degrees and a PHD in very advanced sciences I couldn't begin to pronounce and is currently the director of astrophysics at NASA. He's changing our understanding of outer space as we know it.

Look, we're getting on in age, and we've already made such a difference in our respective fields. I want all of you to know that if you haven't got a footprint like those of you I've mentioned or if you have and still can make more;

We were born to make history!"
