Zelenka thought about how dreams changed as one got older. When he was younger, when there was still a Soviet Union, he had one driving dream and oh how he had worded at it. Every single day, he practised and practised some more for hours and hours. As he got older, he realized that his dream was not meant to be. He did not have the skill or the passion for this dream that many of his countymen did have it, in abundance. He may hve been technically perfect but it was the passion for their art that truly made a gold-winning performance.
His trainers had disagreed though. They said he had the talent, the passion, the imagination to truly be the best. They tried their best to convince him not to quit. To no avail. Zelenka looked around at the puddlejumper he was working on and smirked softly to himself. His trainers were wrong to say he'd live to regret such a rash, stupid act. He smirked once again, God were they wrong. Because he found a different dream, one he could truly be passionate about. He did not regret giving up his old dream.
NOT ONE BIT! After all he had a new dream, a new passion. One that led him here, to Atlantis. Yes his old dream was probably safer but his new dream gave him challenges that his old dream could not give him. yes, he was satisfied and he truly did not regret giving up on his dream of being an olympic figure skater.
The End
Author's Note: When I decided I was going to do the SGA Flashfic Secret Challenge, I could not, for the life of me, think of one single secret. So after I came back from supper. I asked my roommate, Jen, if she could think of one. Her response was immediate-Zelenka as a figure skater. So here it is, her idea, my words. Without her, I probably would't have been able to write this one. Thanks Jen! This is the second SGA fic I have ever written. I do hope everyone enjoys it!
