A Dream to Fulfill

By Cathloren (Mica is not available right now)

Noisy, noisy, so noisy!

There was a tumultuous party in the beach near the Kaleido Stage. Everyone was celebrating for the success of the new Kaleido Star: Sora Naegino. They don't mind on lanterns or lamps; they used campfire instead so that it would be so fun. It was a fun night. Everyone was having fun, honestly. Anna, Mia, May and the others were eating a lot. The others were swimming carefully (someone might drown in the dark night). But, there was a person they didn't notice that she wasn't there.

It was the redhead, or so-called Kaleido Star. She was in the other side of the beach and wants some time being alone. She was still recalling the scenes that she almost calls it 'accident'. Just this morning, they had their show of 'Swan Lake'. It was a successful one, we know. She is just bothered about the 'almost kiss' scene. She didn't knew that when she was about to kiss Leon, the other performers in the backstage wants to scream their head off for such a very romantic gesture.

Well, what's wrong with a kiss? Does it mean that you and that guy are together (better said, having a relationship)? Does it mean that you like/love him? What does a kiss mean?

Sora places those questions in her confused mind. But by the way, why is she acting like this? Why does she need answers for her questions? Does this mean that she…

'No! It's impossible! It will never happen, NEVER!!!' Sora reminded herself.

Well, she has this question ever since she first met Yuri. What is love? Sora has a big crush on Yuri once (we all knew that) but, why isn't she falling for him anymore? Sora is sickly worried. Now that she realized that she doesn't want Yuri anymore, she wants him and Layla. Who will be her 'loved one' now? Will it be Ken?

'No, no! Not him! Mia and May would blame me, and I don't want to join their fight over him!' Sora reminds herself.

Mia and May were fighting for Ken these days; it is not just obvious.

But, she asked herself, will I be perfect for Leon?

OMG, as in Oh My God! Why did she ask that? Ridiculous…stupid…oh for the love of Pete! How could she think about that? And, why did she use the word 'perfect'? Is she really in love with Leon?

"You are so crazy, Sora! You are not in love with him, and you'll never will!!!" Sora said to herself to stop fooling around like a child.

But, is she feeling alright? I mean, she's blushing…

"Go girl! I know you could do it! Just like what you said, never give up until it is fulfilled!" The voice of Manami slipped through her mind.

But, why does she need to think about that?

Just then, footsteps on the sand were heard loud and clear. Sora smells the aroma of lavender and snow. Snow? It is not even winter, though. She feels his presence. Yes, the presence of her partner… dance partner… partner in life…

'Stupid!' Sora thought when the words 'partner in life' was on her head. She was flushing, I know…

Leon goes nearer to his partner. He holds her shoulders and simply wants to bare-naked her (Sora thought that)… I mean, wants to feel that she is not alone. How sweet of him… so gentleman… but such a seducer…

'Seducer?" Oh yah, May once mentioned that Leon is a seducer. But, what is a seducer?

According to what Mia searched about the word, it meant someone who leads someone astray, someone who win someone or something over, and induce someone to have…

'You're so stupid, Sora!' Sora thought.

Leon stares at Sora with his lilac eyes. Sora stares him back, together with her chocolate eyes. Their eyes sparkled like twinkling stars at night. 'He's so handsome…' Sora thought when Leon's face gets nearer to hers. She didn't even care. It's like… she's controlled! COOL!!!

Sora's and Leon's eyes narrowed when Leon almost kissed her…

"You're blushing…" Leon said.

In the name of God, Leon isn't kissing her. 'Damn it!' Sora thought.

Hey, why did she say that in the first place?

Leon decided not to continue the… thing. He sat quietly beside her. Being with someone alone in opposite gender is so romantic, especially when she/he is your crush or something. Sora, on the other hand, asks herself, 'Am I blushing?'

INDEED!

'There is something wrong with me! What's happening to me?'

Honestly, nothing happens to her. She was just having a face of a tomato…so red! Besides, what's wrong with blushing? Maybe it's a sign of…

"…are you having a fever?" Leon asked Sora.

Stupid! She didn't expect that to be his question or response something. Fever… blushing…what's similar to the two words? Maybe because blushing, sometimes, is a sign that you don't feel well or you're sick like having a fever.

"Huh? N-no! I-I'm no-t having fever!" Sora sweat dropped.

Suddenly, unexpectedly, Leon caresses Sora's forehead and neck. Oh my God! He's worried!!!!!

"Ah, Leon… I'm fine, really." Sora removed his hand from her forehead.

Humph! She's too stubborn. She must be thankful that there is someone who is worried about her. But, don't you think it's too romantic? Teasing voices were scattering in Sora's confused mind.

'Go away! Go away!' Sora mentally commanded.

Unexpectedly, Leon wraps his jacket around Sora. Wow…

"I'm…f-fine, Leon. Y-you don't need to w-worry about m-me." Sora faced Leon with a perfect expression of a red chili, so red…

Leon was smiling brilliantly to Sora, and she was happy to see him smile like that!

Okay, let's talk about what they wear tonight…

Sora: actually, she was wearing the jogging pants Manami (remember her?) gave her before Sora leaves for America. Plus, she also wears the fitted spaghetti strap top that is fit for a wild honeymoon. She was bare-feet.

Leon: uhm… first time to see him with bare chest (right after he let his jacket wrap around Sora) with his usual black pants. He wears nothing on feet, too.

'God, he's bare on chest! It's like I want to…I want to…' Sora thought when she gets closer to Leon.

Leon, on the other hand, notices the weird actions his partner is doing right now. Unexpectedly, Sora wraps her arms around Leon's neck. Both of them were blushing, especially when Sora doesn't know what's she's doing! Sora nears her face to Leon's. Eyes are ready to close. Lips are ready to be touch. Bodies are ready to be squeezed…

'What the heck am I doing?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?' Sora notices that their lips are only three… two… one… inch away.

To their disappointment, Sora removes herself from Leon. Leon was speechless. He was blushing since Sora wrapped her arms around him. Sora knows what she's doing on that moment… she was trying to kiss Leon!!!

"I'm s-sorry!" Sora runs away from the venue of the awkward scene.

Leon watches Sora leave. Well, he had this feeling that he likes what happen to both of them awhile ago.

Sora proceeds to the Kaleido Stage, which is near to the beach party. She stops on a post where the animated 'whirling' poster is placed (I don't know what it is called, but does anyone remember the crystal ball something that a swirling poster is?).

Sora was touching her lips. It's like that they just kiss but, they didn't. Sora was still wearing the warm jacket that Leon let her borrow. Oh…is she shivering? Well, instead in feeling the cold breeze, she feels hot, just like having a fever. Sora was still recalling that scene…that almost kissing scene, just like in the show.

Fool appeared out of nowhere. He was observing Sora's odd actions right now. For him, it's quite obvious that Sora is having a crush on Leon. Crush? Hehe… what a nice word to describe!

"You like him, don't you?" Fool asked Sora while crossing his arms.

Sora was alerted of what Fool just said. "You like him, don't you?" That statement once again popped out in her confused head.

"You can't be serious…" Sora was cut off when…

"It's pretty obvious, better said: so obvious." Fool answered back.

Pity I cannot describe her expression. It's like she wants to confess something in front of Fool that has to do with Leon. Sora was embracing herself with Leon's warm jacket, which is exactly with her. Sora's eyes were ready to be closed but she's not dizzy or something. It's an unexplainable expression.

"I don't know. I really don't know what's gotten into me. I don't know… I cannot explain my feeling right now." Sora told Fool.

Sora was confused about what she felt on that moment. Fool is curious about Sora's weird actions. Maybe his guess was right. Maybe Sora is in love with Leon. But, how did it happen. Let's scan about their partnership these days…

Well, Fool could say that Leon was worried about Sora during the time he hurts her when he convinced her to be his partner in completing the Angel's Skill (ep 41); also the time when Leon 'saved' (I don't think so) Sora when she fell from the log (training stuff).

Fool's 'crystal ball' stuff appeared out of nowhere. He could see the sign of Sagittarius and Scorpio. He could see the odd actions of the particular people having these horoscopes.

"Hmm… Sagittarius is a bit confused of her feelings for Scorpio." Fool closed his eyes while saying the sentence.

"Feelings?" Sora asked Fool when her sight was on him.

A light appeared in the ball. Then, the translucent figures of Sora, beside the Sagittarius figure, and Leon, beside the Scorpio figure. Then, Sora and Fool could see with their eyes that Sora and Leon are both reaching for them, until…

"What's happening?" Sora crossed her hands in front of her face to cover from the very bright light coming out from the ball. Fool, on the other hand, was just covering his eyes and trying to control the great power of the light. Few moments later, the light faded away.

Fool's crystal ball also faded.

"Sora," Fool said her name.

Sora was wide-eye open. She was stunned of what happened awhile ago.

"Don't tell me you have another goal to succeed?" Fool crossed his arms with an evil smirk.

'Goal to succeed?' Sora thought with her suspicious mind.

Sora was now totally confused about what Fool just said… a goal to succeed? What does he mean? Does it mean that Sora has another dream to fulfill besides being the True Kaleido Star?

"Sora, listen carefully: I could read your mind very well, and I have a feeling that there is something you have to fulfill next." Fool, once again, opened his mouth with confusing words that Sora couldn't understand.

'What's wrong with me? Why am I feeling so… so weird?' Sora was so confused when a strange feeling was felt upon her.

"Sora,"

"Huh?"

"I could see…" Fool was concentrating on what he's doing. His eyes were closed.

"What?" Sora asked Fool, wanting the answer to her question.

Not to mention, Rosetta and Layla were walking along the quite road towards Kaleido Stage. They were talking about some things happily because they were enjoying the beach party. The reason why they are going to the Kaleido Stage because Rosetta is going to get her training bag, which was left in the dressing room.

"Did you remember the time when Anna's skirt was ripped off…" Rosetta was cut off.

"…and her t-back panty was seen?" Layla continued and the two laughed.

"Now that was Anna's first cry!!" Rosetta was crying because of her hard laugh.

"Yah, thanks to Mia!!" Then again, the two laughed so hard that their tears are going to run away. Until then, they noticed Sora with Fool. The two were curious so, they decided to sneak their conversation alone.

"But you can't be serious!" Rosetta and Layla heard that voice and no doubt that that voice is Sora's.

Fool saw the two girls behind Sora. Fool's sight fogged over to the two girls, and Sora could notice that his sight was onto something…

"Ms. Layla? Rosetta? What are you doing here?" Sora asked Rosetta and Layla.

Rosetta and Layla could see Sora's surprised look on her eyes. Sora was totally surprised. The three girls were speechless to see each other surprised and Fool, on the other hand, just kept silent. On that time, no one between the four would be the one to speak first…

Explaining is hard…

What would Sora and Fool answer if Rosetta and Layla ask them what they're talking about?

Tbc…

Well, I think I better ask Mica for help, or maybe my cousins, Cathleen and Christine. I don't know what to explain briefly the expressions and situations of my fiction. Hey… what do you think? Is it stupid? Crazy? Ridiculous? Odd/weird? What? Please review!!! I really need it!!!
