Fall To Pieces

"Hey, Sora. Good job out there," said Ken admiringly.

"Thanks, Ken. You too," said Sora with her usual cheerful appreciative smile.

It was after the last show of the day. Everyone was looking forward to their day off tomorrow. Although, Ken had to come to Kaleido Stage tomorrow to do some work. However, Sora wasn't really going anywhere either so he had figured that she'd still be at Kaleido Stage training. Ken also hoped to spend part of the day with her helping her train and stuff.

As everyone else exited the stage into the backstage toward the make-up and changing rooms to change out of their costumes Leon walked over to Sora with a rather serious expression on his face. "Sora, I want to tell you something," said Leon.

"Um, okay. What is it?" said Sora curiously.

Leon looks directly into her eyes and says,"Ever since the first performance of Swan Lake I've come to realize that I... really like you Sora. Will you accompany me out tomorrow?"

Ken felt his whole world collapse.

I looked away. Then I looked back at you.

"Leon," Sora started to say with an astonished expression on her face," I... let me me think about this," said Sora as she looked away and began walking away.

You tried to say things that you can't undo.

Ken tore himself away from the scene and walked away. "Sooner or later she 'll come to her senses and tell him that she likes him back." Ken thought to himself as he got ready to go home. He sighed and thought, "Maybe she is better off with him. He is an accomplished and successful performer like Sora. To top that off, he's a lot better looking than I am and he doesn't have heart problems."

If I had my way I'd never get over you.

"Did you hear? Leon asked Sora out and she kind of said no." said Anna excitedly to Rosetta, May, Marion, Mia, and Jonathan.

It just so happened that they all had nothing particular planned for their day off. Rosetta and May spent their morning training. Mia spent hers thinking of new ideas for her next script, while Anna tried to think of something funny for her next show. Marion spent her time playing with Jonathan. Currently, they were all done with their morning activities and were now gathered to discuss what happened yesterday.

"He did look disappointed. Hurt even. Heck I didn't even know Leon could be so emotional." said May who clearly didn't expect that to happen.

"I know," said Rosetta who seemed to have come upon a very interesting thought, "Maybe Sora likes someone else."

"You're right. That is a possibility, but Leon is like the hottest guy ever. Maybe she was really shocked. I know I would be," assumed Mia.

"She's shocked all right. I don't even think Sora has even thought about this kind of stuff yet. I mean, face it guys. Sora isn't the most mature person in the world." said May.

"But what about Ken?" inquired Marion.

"Oh yeah. Ken," said Anna as she suddenly remembered the poor guy that never got to confess his love for Sora.

"And the plot thickens. A formidable rival has come between Ken and his battle for Sora's heart. Who will emerge victorious? More importantly, I think I have an awesome idea for my next script," said Mia gleefully.

"He'll have to confess now or else it will be too late," reasoned Rosetta.

"Yes and we will help too. Right Jonathan?," said Marion. "Row," Jonathan barked back in agreement.

"Yeah, the poor guy does make it pretty obvious that he likes her. Sora's just dense in these things like she is in most things. Unless he actually tells her she'll never know," pondered May.

"Alright, let's do it then," said Mia as she whipped out her laptop and started planning out all the possibilities as they discussed the plan.

About an hour later everyone looked all over Kaleido Stage for Ken. They found him absentmindedly eating his lunch in the dining room everyone working in Kaleido Stage usually ate in. They hid behind the doorway making sure not to be seen as they prepared for the next step.

"Okay, Operation Confession starts now. Soldiers resume your positions and move out," said Anna in the whole soldier's camouflage attire as she straightened up and started to march.

Everyone stared at her blankly.

"Aw come on guys. Wasn't that a little funny?" said Anna as she motioned the little with her two fingers hoping that it was at least that.

"No," May said bluntly. Everyone else kind of nodded in agreement.

"Anna stick to the script,"said Mia as she took her camera out of nowhere and took shots of Anna's now depressed but beautiful form.

"Let's concentrate now okay?" said Rosetta

"Look. He's done with his lunch and he's getting away," said Marion urgently.

"Alright, May you're up. We'll be in our positions." said Mia.

As May walked toward Ken she irritatedly thought, "Jeez, why did I agree to this anyway?"
