Everyday I get faster. Everyday I push a little more. Everyday I get stronger. Sure, I'm still going easy, Dr. Naomi told me to. But everyday is an improvement.
I'm finally back at my apartment, though it was hard for my parents to let me go back. They loved having me back home and I loved being there, but I actually have food in my fridge. That lovely appliance in my kitchen is stocked full of all my favorite foods and it makes me glad to be back.

I glide slowly across the ice, savoring the feeling of my skates on the ice. Gosh did I miss this. I think to myself.
I've been back on the ice for two weeks now but every time I skate it feels fresh again. My skates glide and my body moves instinctively. The cold air of the ice rink tries settling into my body but the more speed I gain, the less cold I get. Skating makes me feel invincible, even though I know full well that I'm not. The feeling is just that incredible to me.
My mother and father stop by the rink to see how I'm doing and I surprise them. I start a song then do some twirls and turns falling into a simple routine I learned years ago. They cheer me on and beam at my progress. I look at them at I turn my body and start skating backwards. Their eyes question my actions but their smiles stay. Suddenly I push off from the outside of my left foot and launch myself into a Toe Loop.
I land it perfectly and swing around to face my parents. I'm greeted by their shocked yet proud faces. They stand up and clap for me and I bow, giggling as I do so. They come out onto the ice and engulf me in a hug.
The three of us glide around the rink, skating and showing off to each other and laughing. I love times like this. The three of us speeding around the ice dissolves my stress and worries. It clears my mind and helps me to just keep skating.

That's the end, My Lovelies.
