"And this years Grand Prix Final first place goes to.... Victor Nikiforov!!"
The crowd was cheering in happiness that the talented Nikiforov won the Grand Prix Final, again.

"Congratulations Victor!"  "I'm proud of you" his Coach and fellow Russian figure skaters congratulated him on his gold medal.

Victor made his way to the poteum to reseve his metal. He was proud of himself for winning, but this... this is not what he wanted in life.

After Victor said a few words and got some photos taken to complete the competition, he made his way to the back to take off his skates and leave. But before he could leave a child stoped him.

"Congratulations Mr. Nikiforov" the child said handing him a blue rose "I amier you so very much and hope to follow in your foot steps one day!". "Thank you, and what might your name be?" "Christopher Giacometti" "Well then, Christopher, if you work hard enough and focus on your goals you can achieve anything."
"Thank you Sir!" "I hope to see you skating out here one season".
And with that Victor left to go home to Russia.

"Ahhhh~ home at last" "Ruff-Ruff" "Hello Makkachan~" "Did you miss me?~" Victor got showered in kisses from his beloved dog Makkachan.

"*yhan* Man I'm beat after the long plane ride back home" "What do you say Makkachan, ready for bed?." "Ruff" "haha, ok let's go".

•Morning•

Victor woke up to the ringing of his phone telling him that someone was calling him. "Wah?! Who is calling me?".... "oh it's Mila"

"Hello?" "Victor where are you?!" "Uhhh.." Victor looked around his room "in my bed room?" "Nikiforov! Why aren't you at practice??" "oh.." "Don't tell me you actually forgot about practice?" "No I-" "Good then getting down here!" "I think I'm gonna retire" "huhhhh?? Wait what?! But your still so young! Why?" "Sorry, but I won't be coming to practice anymore" after Victor said that he hung up the phone and when back to sleep.

20 minutes later

"VICTOR NIKIFOROV! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU??"
Victor woke up to Mila screaming his name as she ran in to his house and in to his room. "VICTOR WAKE UP!!" "I am up, Mila" Victor looked at Mila to see that she was upset.

"Victor what is the meaning of this?" Mila said calming down. "I'm sorry," Victor started while getting out of bed and pulling his long hair up in to a ponytail "it's just that this is not the life that I imagine to have" "what do you mean?" "What I mean is that I'm not as happy as I wanna be, I want to have a normal life that is not public to the world... I just wanna disappear from the public, I want to find myself and I want to find love." "Oh.." "I know it is so sudden, I still want to skate just not in competition" "ok then" "wait so your ok with me retiring?" "Of course I am, but if you plan on living a normal life then we need to fix up your look."
Mila said with a smirk. "Mila.. What is that look for? What are-" "shhhh just get dressed and meet me outside" "O-okay" "Hey Yakov, me and Victor are going to take the day off from practice..." Victor heard Mila talking to Yakov as she walked outside to wait for him to get ready. "What does she have planned Makkachan?" "Ruff-Ruff"

Victor got dressed in some skinny jeans, a light jacket, black converse, and his long hair in a braid like he usually did to keep it out of the way.
He grabbed his phone, wallet and backpack and went  to see Mila standing out side of his 'house' which was really just a small open concept apartment that his parents got him so he would be close to the ice rink, he was 17 after all.

"Ok I'm ready." "Great! we have a appointment in 20 minutes" "appointment for what..?" "To get your hair cut of course" "Wait! I never said that I was getting my haircut!" "No~ but if you don't want to be recognized in public you can't have your signature long hair" "True" "Ok then let's go before we are late."

•At the hair salon•

*Ring* "Hello~" "Hello, one appointment for Victor Nikiforov" "Ahh yes just in time to, right this way"
"So what would you like for me to do?" Asked the hair dresser "We want his hair cut short but not a to short and with bangs" "HEY DONT I GET A SAY IN WHAT HAPPENS TO MY HAIR?!" "Nope!" ^_−☆ Mila said haft joking. "MILA!!" Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑) "VICTOR!... haha, it will look good don't worry. You trust me right?" (^_-) "Not if this results in me wanting to shave my head." "NO Victor you can't!!" 。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。 "Fine but I want it parted to the side and long bangs" Victor replied partly pouting. (-᷅_-᷄)

30 minutes later

"Wow.. Amazing!" (^O^☆♪ "See What did I tell you" ^ ^ "you where right.." "What was that, Victor?" "You where Right" "Haha, I know I am," (^з^)-☆ "already then!! Let's go tell the group the news, Victor!" "Okay".

~~~~
"YOUR WHAT?!" Yakov was not happy with Victor's idea to leave the world of competitive figure skating. "I'm retiring" "VICTOR! YOU CANT JUST 'RETIRE'!" "Well then he will have to disappear from the public eye" Victor was relieved that Mila had his back.

"I don't know why this is such a big deal" Georgi chimed in

"FINE!! But why do you want to leave,Victor?"

"Because I'm not as happy as I want to be, and I want to live a normal life, I will be in my 20's not to long from now and want to find that someone to start a family with. Someone who doesn't love me because I'm famous but because they love me for me."

"Okay, I will support you in your decision" "Oh thank you Yakov!!"
