"Dad I'm going out!" I call downstairs to my dad. Throwing on my winter coat and running down the stairs. "I'm probably spending the night at my friends house but I have the keys so I can get back in. Don't worry I'll be fine." I reassured my dad. Him being the worry wort that he is.
"Okay Akira just call me to tell me what you're doing." He said handing me the keys to the car. I walk out the door and climb into his Toyota Corolla. "Remember to get me an autograph!" He says in Japanese so the neighbors don't understand.
"I will and thanks for letting me take the car! Bye!" I reply driving off and down across the bridge to Boston. I live in Lynn Massachusetts. It's a nice small town but I like Boston much more. I head to the exhibition center where Stars on Ice: Gold Medal Edition is being held. I'm so glad I got a backstage pass. Maybe I'll get to meet Hanyu Sempai. I've always wanted to be a figure skater. I think to myself as I pull into the parking garage. I park my car then hike up the stairs to the top floor of the exhibition center. Walking down the hall I see a room labeled "Backstage Passes Only!" So of course I walk in. There's no one in here... I wonder why.
"H-Hello are you here for the show?" I hear a boy with a thick Japanese accent say.
"Yes I am. Are you?" I ask using my first language to communicate better.
"I'm in the show. I'm Hanyu Yuzuru, call me Yuzuru. It's nice to be able to speak in Japanese again. I didn't expect anyone around here to know Japanese. Where did you learn?" He asks bowing to introduce himself.
"I'm Akira. I'm half-Japanese and when my mom died Japanese became the language we use at the house. But I'm fluent in both, Japanese and English that is. It's nice to meet you. I loved watching you skate at the Olympics this year. I'm so glad that Japan could finally win a gold medal in skating." I bowed to introduce myself as well
"Let's go!" He exclaimed taking my hand and running down the hall toward the rink entrance where the rest of the skaters were waiting. "So do you skate?"
"A little bit. I can only wish I could be as good as you guys are." I smile sadly knowing that dad could never afford to get me lessons. With his sex change he can hardly support us both. He always wanted to be female and now he's on his way there.
"What's wrong Akira?" Yuzuru asked surprised at the tear rolling down my cheek.
"I've always wanted to be a professional figure skater like you but my dad spent all of our money on himself and now we hardly get by month by month so I could never afford to take lessons or rent a rink to practice in, but thats okay, as long as dad is happy I might as well be too" I whispered so only he hears with a sad smile on my face. "I'm just really happy to be here with you Yuzuru and the rest of you amazing skaters!" I smile covering what I told Yuzuru. He gives me a strange look before realizing that I don't want anyone to know about the fact that my mum died when i was ten or, that my dad is now a mom, or the fact that now we're poor.
"I know! I'll train you to be the best skater Japan has ever seen, besides me of course." He smirked knowing I had to accept his offer. I mean it's not everyday a famous figure skater asks you to be his pupil and offers to teach you to skate as well as he does.
"Are you sure I mean I'm clumsy and I can't balance for crap and and and..." I trailed off as he kissed me on the cheek. My face turned bright red.
"Wish me luck. Oh and hold Pooh" He said flirtatiously, handing me Pooh. He got up and took his skate guards off, ran out onto the ice, and started his program Parisienne Walkways it was amazing as usual. He did everything perfectly until he went into the triple lutz, falling hard onto the ice. He got back up really quickly but I still gasped and ran to the edge of the rink, holding Pooh up and moving his front paw in a waving motion to cheer Yuzuru-San on. His program was almost over but he noticed us waving. He smiled and to his choreographers dismay blew me a kiss. My face immediately turned bright red, while Jeffrey Buttle stomped over to me.
"What do you think you're doing? Why are you here? Why did Yuzuru blow you a kiss?"
