(I wanna add random songs, they don't have anything to do with the chapters, they're just got fun.) Kawaii Chan sprints in a hurry. Her breathing is quick and her vision is getting blurry. Her footsteps are quiet even though she's running quickly on the sidewalk. She looks at her watch and screeches. She reaches a pair of tall double doors and bolts through them.

She continues running and makes her way up the carpeted stairs and enters through the slide doors.

      "Kawaii Chan is so sorry for being late Katelyn Sama! The cupcakes took longer than expected to bake!" Kawaii Chan cries out, stopping to breathe.

     "Kawaii Chan, you are only 3 minutes late. Chill," Katelyn responds, taking the container of cupcakes from the Meifwa's arms and setting them down on a bench.

     Kawaii Chan finally catches her breath and smiles at Katelyn.

     "Kawaii Chan is ready!"

     "Good! We're beginning with a Grand Plié!" Katelyn announces, clapping her hands together.  Kawaii Chan nods and begins. She practices ballet with Katelyn every day, even though Katelyn could push her a little too hard.

     Katelyn has them do a few more warm ups, then the dancing begins.

     "Kawaii Chan, your stiff, loosen up!" Katelyn teaches, she pokes Kawaii Chan and stands next to her. Katelyn plays music on the speaker and it starts slow. Katelyn leads the dance because she's more skilled with ballet than Kawaii Chan is.

     Katelyn has an aggressive personality, but her movement is very elegant. She moves so softly and swiftly. Kawaii Chan follows the best she could, swift, but not as soft. Katelyn simply turns, knowing her way around the room, and knowing her surroundings. Kawaii Chan follows, but she has to be more aware of her tail.

     Katelyn gets so lost in the music, it's like she's apart of the story the music is telling. She doesn't miss a beat. Kawaii Chan is so stunned by how talented Katelyn is, that she can't help but watch. Katelyn's expression fits the song which is serious and sophisticated. Suddenly she turns and turns and turns.

     "Wow..." Kawaii Chan says in awe.

    Katelyn stops spinning, easily regaining her balance and she slowly falls to the ground. Once she finishes, her breathing is hard and unsteady. She looks up and frowns at Kawaii Chan and growls.

     "Kawaii Chan! You're supposed to follow my lead! Get back in place, we are doing it again!" Katelyn snaps.

     "Eek!" Kawaii Chan runs back into place the song plays again.

———

     "Zane! You aren't going with the beat!" Gene yells, groaning and pulling at his hair.

     "He stepped on my feet like 50 fucking times!" Sasha adds.

     "Yeah and he isn't falling hard enough when I push him," Zenix complains.

"Are there any other mistakes you want to point out?" Zane asks in a sarcastic tone.

"Everything. Once this contest is over, if you screw this up for us, you're out of the Shadow Knights," Gene threatens.

     Zane grunts and mumbles, "Honestly, the Shadow Knights would be horrible if it weren't for me."

     "What was that Ro'Meave?"  Gene asks.

     "Oh, nothing."

     "Sasha start the song again!"

     The 4 of them all get in formation in the music starts up. Zane has to be a little wobbly in the begging as the others do their things. They dance around him as the music builds up and suddenly Zane is lively. He is pushed, but he has to catch himself. After Zane catches himself, he reaches out as the others pull him back.

    Zane hates working with the Shadow Knights, but he enjoys dancing. He enjoys the emotion, the excitement, and the expression.

———

    "How'd dancing go with Gene and his gang?" Garroth asks, slinging his arm around Zane's shoulders.

     "Oh, fantastic," Zane responds in a sarcastic tone.

     "They're all assholes, I don't know why you tolerate with them!" Laurance cuts in.

      "Ooo! Laurance used a swear word. Hehehe!" Garroth giggles lowly and playfully punches Laurance.

     "Maybe because I'm one too? I don't know. I just like dancing," Zane answers.

     "Hm, you could always dance with me and Garroth!" Laurance suggests.

     "I'd rather die than dance with you," Zane exaggerates.

     "Hey!" Laurance exclaims in offense.

     Garroth chuckles and wraps his arms around Laurance.

     "He's just jealous he can't be a part of our close friendship, Honey bear!" Garroth teases, pulling Laurance's cheek.

     Laurance groans and tugs Garroth off of him. "Garroth!" Laurance complains.

     "Ew..You guys are weird. Why don't you get married or something? Get a room!" Zane states in a disgusted tone.

     Laurance's cheeks go a tint of pink.

     "We aren't even a couple!" Laurance shrieks.

     "Mhmm sure 'Honey Bear'" Zane says with air quotes and follows with an evil laugh.

     "Grr! Zane!" Laurance yells.

———

     "Oh man! I'm so pumped for the competition!" Blaze boasts.

     "Right! We are too!" Aphmau responds with a cheery voice.

    "Yeah! Blaze, Daniel, Rylan, and I are so excited! We have the best song picked out!" Dottie explains.

     Aphmau's eyes widen in shock, "You already have a song picked out?"

    "Well of course!" Blaze replies.

     Rylan shrugs and says, "I'm just excited to watch what Aaron does! His performances are always so good! His dance fight with Ein last year was the best thing ever!"

     Aphmau blushes and quickly nods.

     "It really was! He's amazing!" Aphmau squeaks.

     "My ship!" Kawaii Chan giggles.

     Aphmau's face goes red and she lightly pushes Kawaii Chan. "Ugh! Kawaii Chan, I was just complimenting his dancing!" Aphmau whines. Kawaii Chan giggles again and pokes Aphmau's cheek.

     "Sure Aphmau Senpai!" Kawaii Chan says teasingly.

     "Alright, come on guys! We have to practice more, our room is finally open! Bye!" Dottie exclaims, waving as the others follow her.

     Aphmau and Kawaii Chan exit the building and meet up with Garroth, Laurance, and Zane. "Hey guys!" Aphmau greets.

     "Oh hey!" Laurance responds.

     "What's up?" Aphmau asks.

     "Oh not much. We were talking about Zane and the dumb Shadow Knights!"

     "Ew," Aphmau makes a fake gagging noise and giggles.

     Laurance receives a text on his phone and quickly grabs it from his pocket. His cheeks turn pink and his blue eyes sparkled. He suddenly realizes the others were looking at him. Garroth suddenly snatches Laurance's phone from his hand.

     "What are you hiding Bro?" Garroth asks with a devilish grin. He reads the text and his grin seems to falter.

     "You have a date?" Garroth asks.

     Laurance awkwardly bites his lip and nods. "Garroth, I was going to tell you, I just don't know if anything will come from this date," Laurance explains.

     "Aw, Laurance, don't worry about it man! As long as we still dance and hang out a lot, I'm happy for you!" Garroth replies and smiles again.

     Laurance smiles and nods. "Welp, that's right boys and girls, I've got a date!" Laurance announces and chuckles.

     "I can smell the jealousy from here," Aphmau whispers to Zane.

     Zane nods, "Could they be any less obvious?"

       The two of them giggle as the others watch them in confusion.

     "Oh! Kawaii Chan has to go! Kawaii Chan has to study for her really big test tomorrow!" Kawaii Chan remembers. She smiles brightly and hugs Aphmau.

     "Kawaii Chan will see you later at the dorm! Bye Zane Kun," Kawaii Chan leans in to hug Zane, but Zane backs away. Kawaii Chan squeals as she falls forward, but Zane ends up catching her.

     "Ugh, be careful Kawaii Chan!" Zane complains, helping her stand up as he takes a step back.

     Kawaii Chan blushes in embarrassment and nods. "S..Sorry Zane Kun!"

     Zane sighs, "It's fine Kawaii Chan, just try not to be so clumsy."

     "I'm going now! Bye!" Kawaii Chan runs off.

     "Bye Aph, I have to go to work! It was nice talking," Laurance says as he walks away.

      "Hey Aphmau, my mom wanted to know if you'd like to visit for dinner? Considering I'm visiting home for the first time in a while," Garroth mentions.

     Aphmau frowns in disappointment, "Garroth! I would love to go, but I also have a huge test. Aw man... this sucks!"

     "That's okay Aphmau! It's not the last time you'll be able to go with me!" Garroth reassures her and gives her a hug.

     "Thanks for understanding Garroth. Bye guys!" Aphmau exclaims, slipping away.

     Garroth sighs and turns around, Zane following. "Garroth are you alright?" Zane asks, noticing a frown visible on his brother's face.

     "Yeah!" Garroth responds, smiling again.
