Act 1: Lost
It has been six months since Mytho and Rue became prince and princess. Since then Fakir started to write a new story for the Kinkan town. Ahiru was only a duck. As a duck, she was swimming around in the lake of despair, which wasn't in despair any longer since they saved Mytho and the prince and Rue-chan saved the town from the Raven. Fakir has kept his promise and has stayed with her since then. Ahiru was happy for having him by her side. Everyday, he was sitting next to lake and writing stories. Ahiru wanted Fakir to share his stories for her, but he always said no.
"It's not finished yet" he said and smiled to the duck.
"But I will tell you once it's done."
He patted her forehead and took his bag. He needed to go to the ballet class and practice. Ahiru wanted to come with him, but Fakir told her that it was best for her to stay in the lake or else Neko-sensei would get mad if he took the duck with him to class. Ahiru sighed, the only thing she could do was to say, "Quack" for an answer and Fakir wouldn't take her seriously. If she still was human, she would have insist to take her with him, but she couldn't even have a real conversation with him anymore. She was just a duck. Normally, her heart would have accepted it. Fakir convinced her to accept her true self that day when they danced a pas de deux together. Ahiru's heart was filled with love in that moment when they danced and she was shivering with joy when she felt Fakirs warm embrace, holding her hands gently.
In that moment, she realized that her feelings for Fakir were even warmer than she felt for Mytho. The prince's heart belonged to Rue-chan in the first place. Ahiru accepted the fact that her love for Mytho was unrequited before the story even started. But before she knew it, Fakir was always by her side. The reason he was so cold in the beginning was because he was hurt for not being able to protect the people he cared about. Ahiru trusts Fakir with all her heart. He took care of her back then when she was Princess Tutu and got harmed by the knight and he did it again when she danced for the people who have turned into ravens in the Kinkan town.
She should be happy. For Mytho…or Prince Siegfired and Rue-chan to have found eachother. For the town and it's citizens for returning to normal beings and for Neko-sensei that has finally gotten married and got a wife and cute kittens.
She should be happy for Fakir to have found his passion for writing. Ahiru was happy for being next to him and see him smiling everyday. She was being next to the one she loved the most.
But still…she felt so sad.
Ahiru saw her own reflection in the lake. The lake was calm in a bright summer day and she saw her big blue eyes in the lake's reflection. They looked sad. But why? She got all that she ever wanted.
"Is it true? Is it true that you got all that you ever wanted" someone said.
"Quack?"
Ahiru was confused; did someone just talk to her? It would have been impossible. The only people that would talk to her are Fakir and Uzura. No one else knew that she was a duck in this town.
"Of course I was talking to you, my duck!"
A young man was sitting next to the lake. He was smiling gently to her. His white hair was moving sofly to the breeze as he closed his eyes; He then looked at Ahiru with suck gentle hazelbrown eyes filled with love. Ahiru's eyes were widening.
"Seems like Ahiru found another beautiful young man? I wonder what he would do to the new story that is taken place? It seems like we have to wait and see for the next time!" Drosselmeyer laughed
