If it wasn't for his damn heart, if it wasn't because he was so scared.
He could have become what he wished for, soaring along with the others on the stage.
Those longing eyes on the stage, those heavy sighs, they weren't unheard.

"Ken, what do you long for?"

"I so long for the freedom I never could get."
"Then I shall grant you that wish!"

"Keen..."
"Ken!"
"KEN!"
"I'M AWAKE." Sitting up as fast as a bullet he looked around and saw the face of his mother, holding some clothes he never seen before and with a stressed out face.
"You are going to be late for the audition to Kaleido stage! Hurry up." Ken was way confused, and looked around in his room. It looked like it usually did, with some exceptions with the wights iin the corners, and other training stuff. He raised a brow.
"Ken, snap out of it. It will begin in some hours and you need too eat!"
The door slammed behind his mother, leaving a confused Ken behind.

"Wasn't this what you wished for, Ken Robbins?" A doll the same size as his underarm slowly materialized before his face.
"Who are you?.. Or more.. What are you?"
"Let me introduce myself."
"Mhm...""
"Don't disturb me!" The doll raged at him, making the surprised Ken jump.
"I'm fool, spirit of the stage. And you are the choosen one. You will become a true Kaleido star."

"You really must be wrong. I can't!" He waved of the spirit.
"And this must be a dream."
The doll, also called Fool, stared down at the disbelieving guy, as he felt his tiny body become full of anger.

"It was you who wished for this!" Foll said and began to draw in some of Kens hair.
"I can't remember something like that." He grunmbeld,, and flipped the hand, shooting the little spirit away some feet.
"Oh yes you did. And now you are going to follow your dreams." said the spirit in a mystical vocie.

"KEEEN! YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE FOR GODS SAKE!"
