Once upon a time there lived a boy and a girl who fell in love. Their love was never to be for you see the girl was a duck, but the boy loved her too much to let the girl stay as a duck. He spent much of his time writing a story about the girl till it had the power to turn the girl back into a human. From then on she lived with the boy. Years later they wed where they lived happily together. The man and woman had a child together giving it the name Masa, for she was good and a straightforward child. They were very happy together until……

The day was bright but cloudy and students were on there way to school. In one room was a little girl of the age of seven who was wearing ballet attire and dancing all around the room. When the girl was done all she heard was the sound of one person clapping.
"very well done" said the clapping man
"you really think so father" replied the little girl
"I am sure mama will be very proud of you"
" thank you papa! "
But then a student entered the room shouting frantically. The man asked what was wrong but what he heard made him feel as though he had been punched in the stomach. It made him reply with a voice of anger and sadness.
"what! Where is she!" As the man pulled at the collar of the students shirt.
"sssh….she is in your room"
The man ran to the room leaving the curious child behind along with the scared student who was now sitting on the floor. The child tugged at the students shirt and asked, "where is papa running to?".
The student replied saying to her mothers room. "is something wrong with mama?"
"she had a bad fall that's all" , trying to reassure the child
The girl decided to run to see mama where she heard her papa and mama talking.
"Fakir, I'm sorry to have scared you like this"
"Don't apologize Ahiru its not your fault"
"Fakir, we knew this would happen one day"
"DON"T SAY IT…… please just don't"
"sorry, but my price to pay to live in this world was to give up some time as a human to stay a human"
"I know but, but I love you so much Ahiru"
By this point the man was crying into the woman hands which he tightly clenched. The woman was crying as well resting her head on the shoulder of the man. They stayed silent for a few moments till the girl walked in the room. She looked as though she was about to cry from her big dark green eyes. Her mother got up from her bed and walked over to her child to hug her. The mother whispered saying "everything will be alright.". The girl nodded and later left to her room.

A few days later the wife and husband danced there last pas de deux for a few days later the woman died in the arms of the man she loved so much. The women was later buried along with the mans heart. He had become cold again just like the days before he met his wife. Years passed on and the little girl grew up and the man became more stoic every day…….
………………………………
In a room danced a teenager in ballet attire. She had large blue eyes and bright orange hair. When she had finished dancing, there was only silence. Till a voice said "not good enough."
"I'm sorry father" she replied softly with slight sadness in her voice.
"practice harder" with those curt words the man left the room
The girl sighed thinking of how to practice better and become the perfect dancer her father wished her to be. She sat and starred out the window thinking of the days when her father was the happiest. She tried to push them out of her head realizing they were only making her sadder then she already was. The girl went back to practicing her basic steps knowing she would need them to achieve her complex movements in the show tonight. Her hope for that night was to make her father proud and be just as beautiful as her mother .
