Hey everyone! Some Random Gal reporting in. I may be retiring but that doesn't mean that I can't post one-shots. Besides, I have to post this pairing. I noticed that there are no MimiXBarney stories. Now that is just too bad. So, I decided to write one. Don't be too hard on me, after all, this is the first time I wrote this pairing and I don't know much about them. So…hope you like it

I love performing.

I love it when I get a new trick right. It sends a thrill of triumph through my body. I love it when I fly through the air. It sends a thrill of excitement through my arms and legs. I love it when I practise new moves. The anticipation runs through me as I imagine the expressions of wonder and awe when I do it right in front of an audience. I love performing in the circus.

I am doing my latest trick right now.

I jump off the platform and grab onto a bar that hung in the air. I do a spin and let go of the bar, launching myself through the air and grabbing a length of cloth that also hung from the ceiling. I wrap it around my body, going higher as I do so. I reach the top and do a pose, holding it for a few seconds. I imagine the sound of people clapping. Then, taking a deep breath, I let go of the rope of cloth, twirling gracefully as the cloth unravels from my body. When I near the end, I suddenly grab the rope, putting a sudden stop to the spinning dance and hanging a few centimetres from the ground. I hang there for a bit, then I slowly place my feet on the ground. My heart is pounding. There is a bit of sweat of my brow. I can hear the roaring applause of my imaginary audience; everyone staring at me, cheering for me, calling my name in awe and admiration. But, alas, it is all imaginary. There is no one to cheer for me. No one claps for me. It is all quiet

…Wait.

There is a sound. It sounds like clapping. It's coming from behind me. I straighten up and turn around. Barney is standing there, smiling, and clapping his hands. He comes up to me and pats me on the back.

'Well done Mimi.' He tells me, giving me a "thumbs up". I felt a blush grow on my cheeks.

'…Thanks Barney.' I reply. It may not be a large crowd of people, but it is enough. To have someone to cheer for me from behind, just one person, is enough to keep me going.

Well….that was….ahh~ stuff it. I don't like it. It's missing something….WHAT IS IT?!?!? HELP ME DEAR READER(S)! PLEASE REVIEW AND HELP ME SOLVE THIS PROBLEM!
