This fiction happens in the year 2023……

Chapter 1

A New Beginning in Kaleido Academy

It is a very beautiful morning in Cape Mary. A lot of tourists just arrive from different countries to have a lovely summer vacation in this beautiful location in California. It has been observed that the people were staring on a blue-haired girl screaming and calling for her friend's name.

"Hey, Sara!!! Where on earth are you?! Oh don't make me hot-tempered like mom, Sara, or else!!!" Ami was screaming while calling on Sara. She doesn't care about the people backstabbing on her. Her objective is to find her friend. She was turning around the airport looking for Sara. But praise the Lord she had found her.

"Hey, Sara Naegino!!"

"Ouch!" Sarah exclaimed as Ami patted her hardly on her back.

"I've been looking all over for you!!!" Ami hugs Sara tightly on her neck until Sara suffocated.

"A-a-ami!!! I c-c-can't…………b-breathe!" Sara complained.

"Oops! Sorry!" Ami sweat dropped.

As Ami gets out of the airport, she inhales Cape Mary's atmosphere.

"Refreshing! Hey, Sara! Come here!!!"

"Wait!!!" Sara called Ami as she grabs her bag.

Kaleido Stage

"Again!" exclaims the so-called 'Kaleido Star'.

"But, mom……"

"Do as I say, Maya!" May Wong, the Kaleido Star – for now -, scolds her daughter, Maya. But she isn't the May Wong we knew but the new May Wong-Oswald as well. It's been 15 years since she became the Kaleido Star. In fact, not permanent. She just replaced the true Kaleido Star, Sora Naegino, for awhile but for her, it's forever. Leon and May had two children now, but let's say twins. These are Maya Oswald and Leo Oswald.

May was training her daughter on the trapeze act for her next show. Maya is a good performer just like her parents. Another spin in the trapeze and…

"Well done, my daughter!" May clapped.

"Whew! That was tough!" Maya removes the sweat on her forehead.

"I was fascinated. I was afraid that you will be like your twin brother that is so much focused on girls rather than his career as an acrobat and as an ice skater."

"Aw, mom! Don't be like that! Even though Leo and I are twins, we still have differences. Well, a lot of difference!"

Maya is so much like May that you might think that you returned to the past when May is still 16. Oh, not anymore! And Leo is so much like Leon that…you well, you know. These two are twins and the only similarity they have is on their careers. Both of them are so much into acrobatics and ice skating. Oh well, that's also the interest of their parents.

In the middle of the street

Ami and Sara were doing nothing but performing acrobatics on the sidewalk to earn enough money for their needs. Well, their purpose of being here is to look for their mothers, who are working in Cape Mary, and studying college by taking Accountancy.

They swing in the air and they perform juggling, ballet, gymnastics and of course acrobatics. The people were inspired and so they place money on the plastic cup that is found in front of the young performers.

As they finished, the people clapped so hard. They applauded and cheered for more.

"Aw, guys! Well, we'll perform some maybe later or tomorrow in this very street! Don't forget it, people!!!" Ami waves goodbye as the people leaved.

"So how much do we earned?" Ami smiled as she asked Sara.

"A hundred dollars," Sara responded.

"A hundred dollars???!!! Oh my god! I'm sure we can find a place to stay!" Ami exclaimed.

"Well, I have a hundred dollars here as my pocket money. What about yours?" Sara asked Ami.

"Well," Ami said as she gets her wallet from her pocket, "Also a hundred bucks."

"That makes three hundred dollars. Are you sure this is enough?"

"Sara, I admit that…it's like that we're going to stay in a condominium like that in Hamilton Hotel that we stayed when we were younger!"

"Well, the last that we came here it was a hundred dollars per person." Sara explained.

"And don't tell me we're going to stay there…"

"I didn't say anything!" Sara said.

"Oh well, let's just go on a coffee shop and drink some coffee! I'm tired though," Ami yawned.

Coffee Barrier Rink

"Coffee Barrier Rink? What a name!" Ami complained.

"Ami! Don't be such a backstabber!"

"Me? A backstabber? Excuse me!!!"

"Okay, where will you go? Bathroom again?"

"Sara, are you trying to make me laugh? Hahaha, you did a good job!" Ami protested.

"Well, it's the nearest coffee shop so, why don't we get in?" Sara said and Ami agreed.

As they get inside, it's a surprise for both of them that there's a brilliant coffee shop with a skating rink, an ice skating rink!

"My god! It's marvelous!!!" Ami and Sara exclaimed.

"Good morning, ladies! May I take your orders?" A waitress asked.

"My god…what kind of coffee do you have in here?" Ami asked as they sat down.

"Well, miss, just explore our menu!" The waitress replied as they looked at the menu book.

"My god! A lot of food in here!!!!!" Ami exclaimed and focused on the food as Sara stared at the skating rink.

"Uhm, excuse me," Sara talked to the waitress, "why do you have an ice skating rink here?"

"Well, this is the possession of Mr. Kennedy Eido," The waitress was cut off when Ami inserted in the conversation.

"Kennedy Eido? Owner of this coffee shop? Fantastic!!!"

"You know who this Kennedy Eido is?"

"Of course! Sara, didn't you know that he was the one who opened Ramen Restaurant in Kyoto?"

"He was the one??!!" Sara asked.

"Well, he has a lot of possessions not only here in America but also in Japan, China, France and the Philippines. He decided to have a skating rink because his closest friends are interested in ice skating and those 'friends' of his are the children of the famous Kaleido Star."

"What? Only for them?" Ami complained.

"Actually, if you want to skate in the rink, you only have to pay five dollars per hour or pay a hundred dollars for a membership card in Coffee Barrier Rink. But the best way is that you must be a member of any ice skating association in the world."

Ami and Sara think very deeply. They remembered about their membership card…or something like that.

"Hey! I think I have one!" Ami gets her wallet and found her membership card in Ice Skating Association for Japanese Nationals.

"You're going to use it?" Sara asked.

"Why do you care?"

"Well, I think I have to use this one," Sara gets her wallet and found her membership card of Ice Skating Association for Japanese Nationals: Pro Version.

"Wow! You must be a great performer! Why don't you try on the rink?" The waitress suggested as she looks at Sara's membership card.

Few minutes later at Coffee Barrier Rink

Sara is wearing a pair of ice skating shoes. Ami was staring at her. "You can do it, Sara! Woohoo!!!"

"Hehe," Sara giggled as she started to skate. Her right foot on the rink as her left foot is on the air and as she flies like a bird, her gracefulness lights up the rink. She twirls around and makes circles around the large rink. She flips and spins and that makes her a true ice skater!

"Wow! I couldn't believe that this 'Sara Naegino' is a professional!" The waitress said as she stared on Sara's membership card.

Just then, Maya, Leo and a set of friends entered Coffee Barrier Rink. They all stared at Sara who was skating lively on the rink. Maya, who was a bit envious about this new girl, called out.

"Hey you!" Maya shouted as Sara stopped skating.

"How dare you skate on the rink without permission?" Maya exclaimed.

"Uhm, Ms. Oswald," The waitress neared her and Ami stared at her, "The girl just offered me her membership card as proof that she's one of the ice skaters in the world."

Maya stares at Sara's member ship card and it says there:

"What a performer! I see that you have the 4 Professional Child Skater titles. I'm fascinated." Maya said.

"Maya, don't pick up a fight again." Leo suggested.

"Mind your own business, Leo!" Maya scolds Leo.

"Look, Maya, you are not my mother. Why will you always scold me?"

"Because I wanted to. You're always hard-headed. Your mind is well-focused on girls and not on your career that's why mom and dad hate you as I do!!!"

"Don't be so rude," Sara said as Maya and the others stared at her.

"Hey, no one asked for your opinion," Maya said painfully.

"I know that it's none of my business but I just want you to be nice to people," Sara was cut off when…

"Easy for you to say! You're just like that because you're the daughter of a famous acrobat!" Maya said.

"I am not boasting!"

"Oh yes you are," Maya said, "And I am a bit surprised that you didn't even realized that you are the daughter of a famous acrobat in the year 2003 until 2008…"

"What?" Sara asked.

"Don't listen to that bitch, Sara! Let's go!" Ami said she gives Sara her bag and left Coffee Barrier Rink.

"Bitch? Looks who's talking to the daughter of the famous Kaleido Star,"

"Oh look who's boasting," Ami got angry.

"Ami, c'mon," Sora comforted Ami as they get out.

Minutes Later…

"Oh…I really hate that girl!!!" Ami said as smokes get out of her ears.

It's been minutes that they leave Coffee Barrier Rink and rode a taxi…until now.

"Aww, don't be like that," Sara sweat-dropped.

"Uhm, excuse me, miss but where are you heading?" The taxi driver asked.

"We're heading to Hamilton Hotel," Ami replied rapidly.

"What?! You're even the one who protested that we shouldn't stay there!" Sara exclaimed.

"It's the only familiar place. We don't have a choice."

Rehearsal Room in Kaleido Stage

"If I see those girls again, I'll be ready for a fight," Maya said as she thinks about Ami and Sara and their little 'conversation' awhile ago at Coffee Barrier Rink.

"Look, Maya," Layuri sweat-dropped, "You don't know the people yet, and you picked up a fight…"

"They're the one who pick up a fight, Layuri!" Maya exclaimed.

"If I spotted them again, hmph! I'll show them the real Maya Oswald."

Layuri H. Killian, Maya's best friend, is sickly worried about Maya. Maya is always tough and brave but in this case, she is worried. Layuri H. Killian is Yue H. Killian's twin sister and Mr. Yuri Killian and Mrs. Layla Hamilton-Killian's daughter. Layuri sometimes was mistaken that she's Layla Hamilton-Killian because her physical appearance is identical to her mother's. Layuri met Maya when they were introduced to each other by their parents and Layuri is the only person who understands Maya better than Maya's parents and her brother.

Just then, a knock disturbs the two.

"Come in," Maya said calmly.

When the door was opened, there spotted Miami and Kei.

"Miami! Kei! What are you doing here?" Layuri and Maya asked.

"Well, we're going to have a meeting in the stage for the show tonight. C'mon, they don't want us to be late." Miami said as she and the others get out of the rehearsal room.

Miami Sunshina G. Robbins and Kennedy Ivan (or Kei for short) G. Robbins are the twin children of Ken Robbins and Mia Guillem-Robbins. Miami is look alike her mother while Kei is look alike with his father. Both of them are Maya's good friends and sometimes, these two will cause trouble because of their friends.

Hamilton Hotel…

"Thank you for the key," Ami thanked the woman at the counter where they can receive their key for their room.

"Wow, we lose two hundred dollars just for a single room." Ami said as she cries like an expression of 'my-goodness-the-world-will-end-without-money'.

Then, Ami and Sara get inside the room.

"My GOD!!!" Ami and Sara were surprised to see their room. Actually, every room in Hamilton Hotel is marvelous and rich-looking.

They jump on the beds and go crazy.

"This has to be a dream!" Ami exclaimed.

"Then I'll wake you up!!!" Sara said as the tow of them started to tickle each other. Just then, a knock disturbed them. Sara gets out of the bed and opens the door.

"Visitors in room #396. It's nice to meet you," Mr. Hamilton, the owner of Hamilton Hotel, said.

"Oh, Mr. Hamilton! It's nice to see you!!" Sara bowed down before him (Layla and Yuri are there!!!).

"Who's on the door ...whoa!" Ami was cut off when Sara pushed her head for a bow.

"No, it's okay. No need for you girls to bow down." Mr. Hamilton said.

"We just want to get your names," Layla Hamilton –ahem, excuse me- Layla Hamilton-Killian said.

"Names? No problem my name is Ami Higorashi and my friend here," Ami said as she lets Sara stand up, "This is Sara Naegino."

'Ami Higorashi and Sara Naegino?' Layla and Yuri remembered that ten years ago, this Ami and Sara were here too with their mothers.

"Ami Higorashi and Sara Naegino. Okay, here you go!" Layla said as she listed the names of Ami and Sara and gives them two tickets for…the Kaleido Stage show?!

"My god, Sara…we have TTTTIIIIICCCCCKKKKKKKKEEEETTTTTSSSSS!!!!!!" Ami said cheerfully.

"So, see you tonight, girls," Yuri said as they leaved and moved to the next room.

Kaleido Stage-stage-after the meeting

"You've met this Ami and Sara before?" Yuri asked Layla. They were talking about Ami Higorashi and Sara Naegino in their conversation.

"Yeah, like almost ten years ago when Layuri is still 6. I remembered that Sora came back here in Cape Mary with Manami and two kids and those kids were Ami Higorashi and Sara Naegino."

"Would it be possible that Sara is Leon's daughter?"

"I guess so," Layla responded, "But I'm not sure about this. In this case, maybe Sara doesn't know who her father is."

"What? Why didn't Sora tell her?" Yuri asked.

"You know Sora very well, Yuri, and so do I. She doesn't want her daughter to know that her father has tricked and betrayed them for having May as his wife."

"But somehow, I'm sure Sora will reveal the truth when we found her, but how?"

Layla and Yuri think very carefully. This is a very serious situation, especially that Leon doesn't know about anything of these. Yuri knows how Leon felt because he, too, is a father of twins. When he knew that Sora told Layla about this, he really would feel the same way as Leon's if Yue was given to another couple. Layuri and Yue are Layla and Yuri's treasures. They are very important and special for the Killian couple. But why will Sora give up Leo to May and Leon?

"Any idea?" Layla asked.

"I guess we should ask some details…"

"…details that may lead in tracking Sora,"

Hamilton Hotel-room #396-5:30 p.m.

Knock.

"Coming!" Sara said as she hops while wearing her other sock.

"Mrs. Killian! What are you doing here?" Sara asked.

"Uhm, I'm just here to ask you questions," Layla said.

"My god, Mrs. Killian. I'm not worthy to be interviewed by you who is a some kinda superstar,"

"I know, but I want answers from you Sara. Answers that can lead in finding my friend,"

"Your friend?" Sara asked.

"And that friend of mine… is your mother,"

There was complete silence and Sara let Layla get inside the room. Layla sits on a sofa and Sara sits on a couch.

"Mrs. Killian, you can start asking now but before that, can you explain to me how you and my mother became friends?"

Layla stared at Sara, "Sora Naegino was a trying-hard girl at first images of the past when Sora appeared in Kaleido Stage appear in Layla's mind but then, I gradually knew her true attitude. She was a cheerful and happy teenager. She does things that made her think that everything's going to be alright. She performed the Legendary Act with me that caused my shoulder injury while training in Grand Canyon. But I can compare her happiness with her sadness,"

"What do you mean?" Sara asked.

"Forget about it. My answer for that question will be prevail later. So, have you met your father or even had a clue about who he is?"

"No, I haven't seen him. But mother always says to me that my…my father has tricked her by having another woman,"

"Really?" Layla asked.

"Yeah, but she told me she has a boyfriend before. But she didn't even tell me something about her boyfriend, even a single statement."

"I see. What's your mother's occupation now?"

"An Acrobatics teacher in an acrobatics school somewhere here in Cape Mary but I really don't know where that school is located,"

"Didn't you ask your mother?"

"Well, I know her job but she and Ami's mother left both of us in Japan and accept the job as Acrobatic teachers. Every month, mom and Mrs. Manami Higorashi always send money for Ami and I."

"I see. Have you ever seen your mother so sad?"

"I still can remember that time. Someone was calling for her over the phone and I was the one who answer it. He is a friend of mom and he is here in Cape Mary and when that time the guy called mom, I saw mother crying,"

"I also saw Sora so sad when she was still staying in Kaleido Dorm as an acrobat," Layla said.

"Really?" Sara asked.

"Yeah, well, it's about 'love-life' stuff, you know. It's between her and her boyfriend, or should I say, ex-boyfriend. It was a little thing for the guy but for Sora, it was a big deal and big burden for her. She couldn't believe that a boyfriend of 2 years will trick her in having a secret relationship with another woman,"

"Do you have any idea who this boyfriend of mom and the secret lover?" Sara asked.

"I'm sorry, but it's not the right time to tell you, Sara. Actually, I know who you father is," Layla said.

Sara was surprised. She really couldn't believe that Layla knew who her father is.

"And that's not all. I'm going to give you some details about your family. You have a twin brother, Sara,"

"What? How can this be?" Sara asked.

"Your brother is with your father right now. When you and your twin brother were born, Sora came here in Cape Mary to give your brother to your father. But I don't know that reason why. Do you have any picture of your mother with a guy or something like that?"

"Actually, Mrs. Killian, she won't let me see her pictures."

"Why not, Sara?"

"I have no idea. But I sneaked up a picture of her and Mr. Leon Oswald. They were close together and the background of their picture was Kaleido Stage. When mom got the picture, I asked her about her relationship with Mr. Oswald but she replied me with 'We are just friends'."

"Oh, really," Layla said.

"I mean, I don't get it," Sara said, "This question really turns me crazy: why does she unwant me to know about my father?"

"Maybe for some reason," Layla said. Then, she looked at her watch, "Oh dear, it's barely late. Why won't I just fetch you and Ami?"

"Ami is not here. She's in Coffee Barrier Rink,"

"For what?" Layla asked.

"Applying a job. Actually, we only have a few dollars left, that's why she's applying. I'm going to apply tomorrow,"

"I see. Can you contact her and wait for us outside Coffee Barrier Rink?" Layla asked.

"Uhm, okay,"

Coffee Barrier Rink-5:45 p.m.

"Hey, Ami!!" Sara waves her hands to Ami as she inhales the air outside Layla's car's window.

"There you are, guys!!" Ami said as she opens the passenger seat door.

"So, we're heading to Kaleido Stage already?" Ami asked Layla and Sara (Layla is seated in the driver's seat and Sara on the front seat).

"Well, yeah," Sara said, "So, were you accepted?"

"I'm super exhausted. I mean, those stupid and creepy bosses were so…grr!!! I really wanted to break those figurines down for not accepting me. They need a high school graduate,"

"Oh yeah, we aren't graduated yet in high school," Sara said sadly.

"Why not?" Layla came in conversation.

"We were drop out of school after finishing third year because of lack of tuition payments. The fees are getting higher and higher every year, and mom and Mrs. Higorashi couldn't send enough money because their jobs are only teachers, not like those domestic helpers," Sara explained briefly.

"I can help you with that," Layla said.

"By finishing high school?" Sara asked.

"By finding a job?" Ami asked.

"Actually, my plan is that I'll let both of you finish high school but since you lack money, I can give you job. Which of the two will you take?"

"School!" "Job!" Sara (she said school) and Ami (she said Job) exclaimed together.

There was no response from Layla. There was a complete silence. Just then, Layla begins to speak, "I'll let both of you study in Kaleido Academy. It's just near Kaleido Stage. And I'll ask Kennedy that you'll have part-time jobs as performers in Kaleido Stage every weeknights and whole-day job in weekends. Deal?"

"Well, it's better than we expected," Sara told Ami and Ami nodded. Then both of them agreed.

Kaleido Stage-5:55 p.m.

"These are your seats," Layla said as she let the girls sit in their seats.

"So, I hope you'll enjoy the show," Layla said.

Kaleido Stage-backstage-5:58 p.m.

"So, I wanted you to give your best, Maya, okay?" May said.

"Okay, mom, don't worry, I'll give my best for tonight's show,"

Everyone is getting ready for their show 'Romeo & Juliet'. Actually, how can siblings be lovers? At first, Maya and Leo don't want this but it's the only way to improve their careers. Leo, who was standing by a corner, was just watching his sister and mother being so good together. Well, Leo doesn't care, as long as Maya is happy. I wish I have another sister rather than her, he thought. Well, it's true that he has another sister by the father's side but he doesn't know.

"Why are you still there, Leo? Come on, the show is about to start," Leon said.

Leo ignored him and just goes.

Kaleido Stage-stage-6:00 p.m.

The show started.

Maya and Leo appeared and have their ballet intro. Maya was magnificent with her glittering white-and-lavender costume (her dress is color light lavender, and the laces, sequins, decorations, etc. are white). Leo, on the other hand, is super handsome in his lavender-and-white costume (his costume is color white while the laces, sequins, decorations, etc. are lavender). Both of them performed En Pointe on stage as the other performers came in scene as the script says. Then, when Maya and Leo both exited in different directions, the trapezes were brought down and as they hang, some violet and white petals fall to the stage and Leo and Maya begin to perform by using the trapezes.

"Hey, that's…that's…that's the, humph!!" Ami was cut off when Sara covers her mouth to avoid noise.

Sara, too, noticed that the two performers performing the En Pointe were the people they met in Coffee Barrier Rink. She just observed and realized that as performers, you have to be concentrating and focusing on your moves as what the script says.

On the other side of the audience, there were two ladies, familiar ladies, were watching the show, too. I bet that when Ami and Sara will spot in these two ladies, they're going to have the greatest shock of their lives because these women are none other than…

"Hey, Sora! Can I go to the bathroom first?" Manami asked Sora.

"You may, you may, just don't disturb me watching this," Sora said as she agreed that Manami will go to the bathroom.

Manami goes out of the arena to search for the bathroom.

While Manami was away, Leon was watching the show…and the audience from above the stage…the place where we got Sora and pull her down to perform on a show of Romeo & Juliet. Suddenly, he spotted two familiar ladies but both identical to Sora. The first lady had short crimson hair (the length is that the hair ended up in the neck and this is Sora) and the other lady had long crimson hair (that is Sara). What is the significance of these two ladies with the same faces as Sora's?

Leon wiggles his head to avoid Sora's memory inside him. But every time he avoids Sora in his mind, the more he avoids Sophie. Of course, Sora was called by Leon by the name of Sophie.

Seconds became minutes and minutes became hours. It's nearly 8:20 p.m. that the show will end up by 8:30. And the final scene is for Leo and Maya. Leon and May could still remember the time of their final scene. May and Leo were performing and swinging in the trapezes and they have the same routines as what May and Leon did…well, a lot the same. Leo spotted the girl who, should we say, saved his life from Maya's scolding in Coffee Barrier Rink. He jumps off of the trapeze and everyone was shocked. He climbs on the stairs towards the seat were Sara is sitting.

Just then, Leo grabbed her wrist and he ran with her but Sara protested in the middle of their run.

"What are you doing?" Sara asked as Leo grabs her wrists painfully and forcefully.

"I want you to perform with me. Whether you like it or not, you're going with me!" Leo said as he and Sara reached the trapeze and there they started performing while Maya was there very shocked and surprised.

Just then, Sora and Manami were shocked.

"Hey, Sora! That's Sara, right?" Manami said.

"So it means that Sara and Ami have arrived from Japan." Sora said.

Then, Leon, May and Sora remembered the scene. That scene is the same thing that is happening now.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Leo, but I have to go." Sara said as she 'escapes' from Leo and moves to another trapeze but Leo followed after her.

"Leo, please leave me alone!" Sara said angrily as she tries to get out of the arena by using the trapezes but still, Leo is following her.

'What does he want from my daughter?' Sora asked herself. She imagines her and Leon performing onstage 20 years ago. But she really wanted to ask him why he did that. Sora stares upon the performers and she remembers something about Leo…something about Leo…

Flashback-15 yrs. ago (2008)-Kaleido Stage lobby

"I really miss her," Leon told Yuri and Ken. The men were having a conversation with each other inside the lobby of Kaleido Stage. They were talking about Sora, who just left Kaleido Stage last year for Japan…and for ignoring Leon. May was the first person to know that Sora was pregnant and was carrying twins that are Leon's children. But when Leon knew that May was pregnant with his child, May revealed to Leon and to everyone that Sora has children that is also Leon's.

"We all do," Ken said.

"When will she come back?" Yuri asked both Leon and Ken.

"According to Mia, when she called Sora all away to Japan, Sora might come back after 5 years or something like that," Ken replied.

"I hope she'll come back…oh!" Leon said and when the word 'oh' came out of his mouth, he saw a girl carrying a child walking in the middle of the snowstorm. He was enlightened by the image of the mother and the child. He got and wore his jacket and got outside of Kaleido Stage going to the lady carrying the child.

"Hey, Leon! Where are you going?" Yuri and Ken called Leon but he still ran away towards the lady.

As soon as he neared the lady and the lady stared back at her, tears came down from their eyes. As Yuri and Ken got out, they kept silent as they watched the scene.

"S-Sora?" Leon said.

"L-Leon…what a surprise…" Sora said calmly. But she was cut off with her sentence when Leon hugged her.

"I miss you so much, Sora," Leon said as joyful tears came out from his violet eyes but he sees that Sora's tears are full of sadness.

"What's wrong? Don't you miss me?" Leon asked quietly.

"Of course I miss you, Leon, but…"

There was an empty silence. Leon felt the burden in Sora's heart. It's like that there is something, or someone, she should sacrifice in order to make Leon happy.

"…I won't be staying longer. I…I am just here to…to…," Sora cried quietly but in her heart was a big burden, "…to give you my child, Leon,"

"But I thought they were twins,"

"They are twins, Leon, but I'm going to give you the boy……maybe it's the last remembrance I'm going to give you. I think we won't see each other again…"

Leon's tears became sadness and despair.

"…goodbye, Leon,"

Back to present-2023-Kaleido Stage-stage

"…Leon…" Sora said as tears came down to her cheeks.

"Sora? What's wrong with you?" Manami asked Sora.

"I…" Sora said but there was something that makes everyone surprised. There was a sound of a gun.

"Sara!!" Sora cried but, halleluiah (praise the Lord), Leo and Sara ignored it by escaping and hang on another trapeze so the gun won't hit both of them and everyone stared at the direction on where the sound of the gun came from. There were policemen and they chased the suspect. Right now, Sora is happy that Sara…and Leo are safe.

Tbc…
