(Well it's Friday….bored, nothing to do….oh heres something! Read mah story O 3O)
"Hello class!" said the drama teacher Mrs. Hester. (Ugh I'm like really bad with teacher last names sorry) "Hello Mrs. Hester" said everyone like they were programmed to say that. "Today we hold auditions for the Romeo and Cinderella play!" she said. Everyone looked at each other confused. "I know what you're thinking no it's not Juliet its Cinderella!" she said. "I wanted the two stories to come into twine" she said. "So every woman that would like to audition for Cinderella please stand up" she said. Whitney immediately stood up.
"I shall play her!" she yelled. She was the only one who stood up because all the other girls were afraid to after that incident. About a month ago there was a play audition for the character Scarlet who is supposed to be a beautiful girl that falls in love with a handsome man, Whitney lost the audition to some other girl so she got "rid" of her. Turns out she sent her to a deserted island but no one ever knew except Tony, Pepper and Rhodey because they found her as they happened to fly past that island. Whitney got the role of Scarlet and all the girls assumed she did something to her but everyone was afraid to stand up and tell someone.
"No one else?" Mrs. Hester asked. "Hm alright Whitney come line up" she said. "Now we need a dancer for a scene…..someone who could be a real pleaser….."She said thinking. She scanned the room and targeted a redhead. "Pepper Potts!" she said pointing. She looked at the teacher as if she was out of her mind. "Oh umm Mrs. I can't dance" she said. "Nonsense you've been dancing since you were four but you quit at twelve" said the teacher. Pepper got up from her seat and started giving her the shhh sign.
"Pepper you used to dance?" Tony asked. Everyone started talking. "I know this because I used to be close with her father" the teacher said. Pepper rolled her eyes. "Please do it Pepper!" the teacher said. "Fine" Pepper said crossing her arms. Some guys stood up yelling "Go Pepper!" as they were curious and excited to see her in a costume and her moves. "Alright line up Potts now gentlemen stand up if you want to audition for Romeo" she said. Some guys stood up. "Alright all you guys lineup" she said.
The teacher asked other students for other roles almost everyone picked something but the ones that didn't were just extras in the background. "Alright Whitney read and say your line" she said. "I'll never make it to the dance! I don't have a dress!" she said like if she was reading off a paper but she wasn't. "Whitney try to sound more genuine" said the teacher. She said her line again in the same tone. "D-Does anyone else wants to try Cinderella?" she asked looking back at the head shaking girls. Mrs. Hester sighed. "Alright you get the part, NEXT!" she yelled. Everyone auditioned except for Pepper.
"Potts you will be taught certain choreography, if you execute it correctly you make it in" she said. "And what if I don't?" Pepper asked smirking. "You still make it now come on to the bathroom!" Mrs. Hester said. "This lady….." Pepper said as she walked. The teacher threw clothes at her. "Change!" she said. Pepper rolled her eyes and did as she was told. Tony and Rhodey were sitting in the auditorium ready to watch as well as some other girl and guy class mates.
The dance teacher was standing on the stage waiting until Pepper came. Soon after Pepper walked into the room wearing biker shorts and rolled up pink tights all the way to her knees with a black leotard that wrapped its straps around her neck (Halter) but was covered with her grey sweater and regular ballet shoes. "Oh no no no no that won't do" said the teacher. "What?" Pepper asked as she made it up the steps to the stage. "Nope jacket off now" she said. Pepper groaned and mumbled things as she unzipped it off a little aggressively. Her back and shoulders were revealed.
Pepper tossed her sweater to the side. "Did you stretch?" the teacher asked. "No" she said. "Well do you want to get injured?!" the teacher said. "Kinda" Pepper replied. "Stretch now!" she said. Pepper stretched side to side, bent down and wrapped her arms around her legs as the teacher counted. She straddled and laid her chest on the floor flat. "Wow I never knew Pepper was so flexible" Rhodey said. Tony didn't say anything he just watched her in amazement.
"now let's test how high you're leg can go" The teacher said. Pepper groaned and grabbed her foot from the back and pulled it up as high as she could and made a vertical split. "Yeah you still got it" the teacher said. "Let's begin" she said. "Does everyone have to watch?" she asked. "Of course its good practice for when the show comes everyone will watch you and you won't be stage frightened as much" the teacher said. "Alright follow me" she said. Pepper mimicked every move the teacher made. "Pirouette then chasse then entrechat" she said.
Pepper executed it beautifully as all the guys gawked at her. "Very good um how are you alicicones?" the teacher asked. "I don't really know I haven't done that in awhile" Pepper answered. "Try it I want to know how many you can do" the teacher said. Pepper executed her turns the way it should but was only able to do six. "Not bad Potts not bad" she said. "I'll add that at the end" she said. An hour past and it was only Rhodey and Tony in the auditorium staring at her still.
"Alright that's it just a short dance the real dance I'll teach after you audition" she said. "Great" Pepper said picking up her clothes and putting it in her book bag. Pepper just slipped on her converse and left the school with her dance clothes but she wore a grey pullover because it was too hot for a sweater. "Pepper you're amazing" Tony said. Pepper just looked gloomy as she walked. "Don't be so down Pep you were great I don't know why you quit if you were so good at it" he said. "I quit for a reason" she said. "What was it?" Rhodey asked.
"Some girl got pissed at me because I was so good so she tried stealing my thunder which she actually did and no one talked to me after that so it got boring because I was always alone" she said. "That's stupid you should've stolen it back!" Tony said. "I'm not like that" she said. "Pepper if that was something you really wanted to do you should've kept going doesn't let people get in the way" he said. "Yeah" Rhodey said. "Thanks guys but that dream is long gone I don't care about it anymore" she said. "So what are you guys gonna be?" she asked changing the subject.
"Well, I play this dude that is supposed to be in love with some girl but they haven't told me who" Tony said. "I play the Romeo guy's best friend" Rhodey said. "This should be interesting" Pepper said smiling. "Not as interesting as you dancing, I wonder what the real dance is gonna be" Tony said. "Oh shut up" she said playfully pushing him. "Aw come on Pep you'll be cute" he said. "Sure" Pepper said sarcastically. Tony picked her up and put her on his back. "Tony put me down" she whined.
"Nah you always seem less grumpy when I carry you I guess you're just too lazy to walk so you get mad" Tony said chuckling. Pepper rolled her eyes and put her arms around Tonys neck. Rhodey walked past them. "Wait up Rhodes!" Tony said trying to catch up. "I gotta head to the library to do a research paper I'll see you guys tomorrow" Rhodey said. "Later Rhodey" Pepper said. Tony piggy backed ride Pepper all the way to the armory, when they got there he plopped her on the chair. Pepper yawned. "I'm sleepy" she said. "Want me to take you home?" he asked.
"No" Pepper said lazily. "Why not?" he asked. "Carry me" she said spreading her arms out and closing her eyes smiling like a drunk. "Ohhh so that's what it is" he said. Tony started tickling her sides. "No Tony I'm extremely ticklish!" she yelled laughing. Pepper slid off the chair and to the floor laughing as Tony tickled her, she tripped Tony to make him stop, they both laughed. When they stopped they turned their heads facing each other and smiled. "Love you" Tony said.
Pepper shifted closer to Tony and put an arm around him to hug him and kissed his cheek. They both sat up and Tony wondered. "Soo…what other moves can you do?" Tony asked excited. "Dance or acrobatic?" she asked. "Oooh oooh acrobatic" Tony said. Pepper stood up, took a few steps back, ran and did an aerial (for those who don't know it's like a no hands cartwheel) "Woooow" he said. Pepper giggled. "This level of flexibility…kinda turns me on" he said. "Tony!" she said laughing. "What I'm a guy…..can't help it sometimes" he said smiling.
Pepper held out her hand to help Tony up, Pepper hugged him. "What's up?"He asked. "I can't hug you for no reason?" she asked. Tony chuckled and rested his chin on her head as he had his arms wrapped around her neck.
