Drosselmeyer watched dove and duck's childhood fast forward and come to a halt on the very day duck originally discovered she was princess tutu. "Duck!" dove finally shouted after calling her name for five minutes. "You need to wake up, we're going to be late to class and Mr. Cat will try to have you marry him!" dove said as she slipped on her black school shoes. "I'm up!" duck shouted, bolting upright before promptly falling out of her top bunk like she did every morning. She placed a bowl of birdseed on the windowsill and quickly changed into her school uniform as dove bounced up and down impatiently by the door.
Not a half-second after duck had slipped on her second shoe dove was pulling her out the door muttering to herself. "Why do I wait for you every morning I should just leave like pique and Lillie." Suddenly a light bulb went off over duck's head, "wait dove the chicks are going to fly for the first time right now." "But we're already late to class!" dove said exasperatedly. "Exactly so it doesn't matter if we wait a couple more minutes" duck said triumphantly while giving dove the biggest, bluest puppy dog eyes. "Fine" dove sighed "let's go." "Yeah!" duck squealed and skipped off after dove towards the nest.
"Oh no the last one's going to fall!" duck gasped. "Oh my god is that mytho up in the window!" dove gaped in shock while pointing to the pant less wonder boy crawling out on the windowsill to save the last little chick. "That's dangerous, he's going to fall and get hurt" dove continued in a deeply concerned tone of voice. "what should we d-" dove paused as she looked over to where duck had been standing half a second ago and realized she was no longer there. She looked around in confusion and saw duck incased in a glowing ball of light sprinting towards mytho. The light slowly started to fade and duck was…..not duck?
She still had those big blue eyes and piece of hair that always stuck up but instead of her long plaited braid she had short, white, almost feathery hair below her classic red-orange. And she had undergone a wardrobe change, she was in a beautiful dress with a ballerina tutu and lovely point shoes. And she was doing a grand jeté (the jump with splits in mid-air) towards the now tumbling mytho. Dove stood there with a veil of confusion drifting over her normally bright blue eyes. Not only did duck look different there was something different about her very aura. Where as duck was cute but clumsy and sometimes awkward she was elegant and graceful, every bit a prima ballerina. She danced so beautifully while duck danced well, like a duck.
This new girl started doing a perfect pirouette and a rain of flowers appeared out of nowhere and mytho landed unharmed. He looked distant and dazed, but then he always looked like that. As he unfurled his hand that had been clenched against his chest he revealed the last little chick, uninjured, it ruffled it's feathers a little then flew off to join its brothers and sisters. "You saved me, who are you?" mytho asked while cocking his head to the side and staring questioningly at duck. "My name is princess tutu and I am here to protect you and help you to regain the lost shards of your heart." Tutu said sweetly before twirling her hand down into a bow "goodbye my prince." She said, smiling, as she turned around and promptly walked off.
A couple seconds' later duck reappeared at dove's side startling her. "What just happened duck?" dove asked, utterly confused. "I don't really know I just saw mytho in trouble and the rest just kind of happened, what was i talking about with the lost heart shards?" duck pondered. "How should I know, you're the one who turned into tutu!" dove said. "Shhhh! Not everyone needs to know that" duck said sharply, eyeing fakir as he came rushing up to mytho.
"Are you okay? What happened? I told you to wait for me in the room, do as you're told!" fakir said sternly as he sent mytho back up to the room (hopefully to get some pants! ) he turned suddenly and eyed duck and dove up and down with a frown before heading up to the room. "That fakir gets on my nerves did you see the way he frowned at us! We weren't doing anything what the heck is his problem I mean he sure is mean to mytho for someone who's supposed to be his friend!" duck ranted, steam practically coming out of her ears as she stomped next to dove towards class.
