I DO NOT OWN SKIP BEAT OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS. PLEASE ENJOY THE NEW CHAPTER HERE IT IS.

After everyone had regained their hearing and kyoko's many danzons. They all then sat down to let the president explain. "Well I guess the first thing I need to explain is that this event is hosted by LME but will have other companies involved. This is going to be called THE TIME OF FAIRY TALES and it's going to be made up of fashion shows and plays of famous fairy tales from all over the world. The ones we are going to involve in this Advent are Mulan, beauty and the beast, Cinderella, the little mermaid, brave, sleeping beauty, Rapunzel, Aladdin, thembalina, Snow White, and a brand new fairy tale from LME play writters. And of course their will be balls through out the event for each fairy tale!" The president announced with confety showering over him as most looked in shock or bewilderment.

Meanwhile kyoko was on cloud nine and squailing with happiness and had started to jump up and down behind her chair. She was clearly going off into lala land just thinking about it her eyes were glowing and sparkling. It even seemed like there were all types of Flowers blooming around her even though that had to be impossible, right?

Mrs Natalia looked to Ren confused with kyoko's reaction and behavior. Ren just shrugged and said "she loves stuff about fairy tales. This is quite normal for her. Don't worry about it." He said glancing at kyoko who was currently mumbling to herself. He smiled his gentalmen smile at her to get kyoko out of her head. Which it did as she sat down apologising again to everyone.

"Anyway as you might have guessed I called you and kyoko here for a reason, Ren" the president said looking directly at him.

"Umm yes I didn't think you would have called me in just to tell me about it. So what is the reason?" He said crossing his legs and taking a sip of his water.

When kyoko looked at the president questioningly too. Confused about why he would tell her.

"Well as I have said there will be plays and I want you to each try out for each role I have put on this paper" the president said smiling and sliding over one page to each acter respectively. After reading the list kyoko gasped at him in shock. While Ren nodded nonchalantly in approval at his list handing it over to his manager. "What is it mogami Kun?" The president asked the silent girl who was still gasping at him.

Shaking her head to clear it she spoke in a Shakey voice. "But my list has all the plays princesses on it? Mulan, Jasmine, Aroura, Areil, Belle, thembalina, snow White, merilda, Ella AKA Cinderella, Rapunzel, and a girl named claria who im guessing is the new princess for the new production!" She exclaimed

"Yes, so?I checked your schedule you have room since you just finished your latest drama. " He explained calmly

"Time is not the problem! But do you really think I could really make all those characters into the best they can be. I mean all of them can sing and I really can't sing. Wouldn't I just ruin the show? I don't know if I could make a character worthy of that caliber? I really want to play these roles but I would never be able to forgive myself if I ruined the image of those beautiful characters!" Kyoko sadly stated looking at the paper sadly looking defeated and degected.

""Well I understand your concern but I have something I want you to remember. For one your trying out for the role and if the director wants you to play the role then that means they think you would give them the image they want. Also if you want these roles fight for them don't you dare give up. Also non of us have ever heard you sing so maybe your not being a fair judge to yourself? Wouldn't it be better to have at least tried then giving up before you've even really tried?" The president questioned kyoko

As she thought her eyes widened and when she spoke you could tell her fighting Spirit kicked in. "Oh my gosh you are right president. I have to at least try before considering I can't do it it. Thanks thank you." Kyoko exclaimed with determination in sparkling in her eyes.

"That's the spirit mogami Kun. Oh yeah isn't it true you know all these types of ballroom dancing?" The president asked pulling out a paper and handing it over to her.

Kyoko studied the sheet for a moment before smiling and handing it back to him. "Yes actually those are my favorite ballroom dancing styles! I learned when I was younger and still practice every week. I've been perfecting them since I was a child they seemed like so much fun that I got a performer to teach me them by offering to make her lunch every day for that year. So she taught me them all plus some others though those are the ones I was best at." Kyoko stated proudly. Then taped her chin deep in thought as she spoke "I believe her name was Charlotte Claire. So I called her Charlotte Chan. She was such a beautiful and talented young woman. I was really sad when she told me since I didn't have a phone number or contact we could only exchange letters. But then I stopped hearing from her after my mother wrote a letter telling her to stop writing to me." Kyoko sadly stated looking unhappy. "Why do you ask though president"

"Wait hold on before that, did you say Charlotte Claire as in the famous ballroom dancing legand and world class dancer Charlotte Claire? " The president asked in astonishment

"Well she said that she had done that and there were a lot of reporter's around her all the time. But that was her name why? Is that a big deal?" Kyoko said looking confused at everyone else looking at her in astonishment and disbelief "what?" She asked

The president put his hands on her shoulders and looked her directly in the eyes."Yes kyoko this is a really big deal. For one thing she is Maria's Aunt and for another thing she told me about this little girl she met in Kyoto who loved fairy tales and ballroom dancing because it made her be able to escape reailty. Charlotte was really inpressed by you. The last time I saw her she couldn't stop talking about that little girl who reinspired her. She really misses you. That letter had told her you were moving and that she should stop distracting you from your studdies. Ah it all makes sense now how come I didn't see it before." The president said looking deflated

"Umm it's not your fault or anything. It's not like I talk about it alot. I never wanted to use her name to make myself seem better. I mean I am still practicing dance I'm no expert I just love dance. Also I really miss her too she was a wonderful mentor. She always treated me so kindly and always made sure I was dancing for the love of dance not because of trying to be perfect. I will always look up to her so much. Plus in my last letter to her I promised I would keep dancing no matter what my mother said. It was the only time I ever really stood up to her without regret. Normally I don't mention it because she was my mentor and just never wanted anyone to think I would use her name to make myself more important seeming I just couldn't do that to such a precious memory. Only reason I'm mention in it now is because it was related, I could never use someone like that. She meant a lot to me. Honest!"she said quickly. Shaking her head trying to get people to believe her. She was too used to people not believing her she felt like she had to make herself clear. Everyone felt bad that she was so worried about it. Because they did believe her without her having to clarify herself.

"It's alright I believe you. No need to stress. I understand how much you both care about each other. I remember that she told me that she liked to think of you as her daughter. She really loves you. And from what I can tell you love her too even with your struggles. " The president said smiling resuringly

Nodding kyoko relaxed and smiled brightly in return. Silently thanking him for his trust in her. "Umm so Mr President, I was just wondering how she was doing it's been a long time since. Well since I Saw her. She she doing well. How is her career? " Kyoko asked eagerly looking at the president

"Oh yes she's doing just fine, just a bit sad she doesn't know what ever happened to the little girl she cared for so much. As for her career she's just as famous and liked but wait a second ahh rarecia" the president shouted seeming to get an idea. "I was planning on video calling her today after this meeting anyway. So why don't you stay behind to talk to her with me." He finished causeing kyoko to smile brightly and oh so blindingly. "Well after your singing test of course. I want to hear your voice and then I can get a better idea of what we are going to need to work on." Kyoko smile fell off her lips in a flash replaced with a grimace.

"Well yeah that's only fair I really do suck fair warning." She stated keeping a straight face. While everyone else in the room couldn't help but think geez she really doesn't save herself any face.

"Ahh yes my dear I understand. Here is the songs I want you to sing as your test." He said handing her lyrics to the songs of cashing cars by snow patrol, Born this way by lady Gaga, and last but not least part of your world from the little mermaid. "Ok I think I can do these." Kyoko said with determination filled in her eyes. "That's great try your best." The president said encouragingly.

"Oh yeah before I forget Mr President why did you ask me if I knew those dances?" She asked curiously tilting her head to the side.

"Ah right my dear. Thank you for reminding me. Starting tomorrow morning you will be Ren's dance instructor. After all he doesn't know the mandatory dances for this Advent so you need to teach him. Ren already has his suit that he will be practicing in her is your dress and such." The president said snapping his fingers signialing his assistant over. His assistant dropped a evening gown and a plastic bag with hair elastic band and gloves in them not to mention high heels. "You will both come in at 9:00 am sharp change in your rooms you have assigned to you here in this building. As in for you mogami Kun that would be the love me section room. And for you Ren that would be your dressing room. Do you both get that you will both be staying in the ballroom until you have made some good progress. Understand? It will be every day too got it?" The asked looking between both of his talents who were looking at him in shock.

Slowly kyoko turned to look at Ren as spoke. "Well personally I understand but are you okay with it tsuraga San. I would really like to help you learn if you think I could. But of course it has to be that you don't stretch yourself out just to accommodate me. Agreed?" Kyoko asked holding her hand out for a handshake

"Yes of course mogami San I would really appreciate it if you would be willing to be my dance instructor. I think you would be the best option for me to learn from. And I promise I won't stretch myself out too much. Thank you I look forward to working with you again." Ren said smiling a genuine smile thinking about their upcoming weeks. She smiled in return shaking his hand. For a moment they seemed to be in their own world and reluctantly let go of each other's hands. But not without the others noticing the hesitation and longer than normal hand shake. Everyone else in the room couldn't help but think that they were both in love with each other but one was still in denial.

"Alright well that concludes today's meeting" the president said breaking the silent. "Alright mogami San I'm going to walk everyone else out while you practice the lyrics of the songs. Is that alright with you?" The president asked kyoko gesturing to the others

"Oh yes that's fine. I'll be right here practicing." She said waving. "I'll text you when I ask the durama couple grandmother." Kyoko said cheerfully waving to her grandmother as she stepped out the door. Before turning her attention back to the lyrics sheets I front of her.

_**_MEANWHILE WITH THE PRESIDENT AND OTHERS_**_

As soon as he closed the door the president gathered everyone and gestured them to follow him down the hallway. They followed him after exchanging confused looks and shruggs. The president lead them to a door a few away from his office. Opening the door he silently gestured them in first. As they all went in they realized that this room had a class window that allowed them to look into the president's office without anyone in the office seeing them. The room also was set up to record the office. Once they were all inside the president closed the door quickly before turning around grinning wickedly creeping everyone else in the room out. Well except for Ren he just crossed his arms and legs leaning back against the wall looking at the president suspiciously. "So boss what's all the secretsy about what are we doing in a recording room. What are you up to today?" Ren asked completely unphased by his weird behavior.

"Well I'm glad you noticed and asked me Ren. You see there was one more thing Charlotte told me that I don't want to tell kyoko about yet. You see apartly kyoko has a great voice but alot of insucerities about it. Appertally so many people told kyoko that she was really bad at singing that she eventually believed them and only sang when she thought no one was around. But in truth her voice was beautiful. So I want you guys to see with me if it's true. You guys will be listening in here buring her test as this young gentlemen records her singing. Come on it won't hurt you worst comes to worst she can't sing and you can just plug your ears. But you all care about her so I'm sure you can give her some of your time. Agreed?" After thinking it through they all nodded and the president left to go start her test as the employee Sat down and got the recorder ready.

The rest of them just sat down in the nearby chairs to listen.

_** BACK IN THE PRESIDENT OFFICE**_

Kyoko was really nervous she hadn't really sung in years. Just then the president walked back into the office saying "alright let's get started." He said smiling handing her three CDs and pointing to the stage saying. ",Use the microphone up there and sing the songs in whatever order you want just put the CDs in the CD player and the music will start. Are you ready?" The asked the nervous girl.

"As ready as I'll ever be." She said taking a deep breath giving a small smile, before walking to the stage climbing the steps. When she got up she walked over to the Mike and pulled it off its stand holding it in her hand as she walked over to the CD player and put in the chasing cars CD and putting the other CDs on top of the player then took a deep breath and pressed play before going to sit on the chair in the middle of the stage. Unaware of the audience watching her. Taking a deep breath as she waited for the music to start.

Then she began to sing.

Everyone was shocked

She sounded amazing and beautiful and like a Angel

She started out right on key and que.

we'll do it all

Everything on our own

We don't need anything or anyone

If I lay here, if I just lay here would you like with me

And just forget the world

at this point some of the ladies were already crying with the emtion that kyoko was putting into the song. Ren was in shock he never would have guessed she could sing this well it was a shock but a nice surprise. Ren couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful the song sounded with her singing it. Anyone who was watching could tell she was really singing from her heart.

I don't quite know how to say

How I feel

Those three words are said too much

Or not enough

her eyes look sad at the moment of the song clearly remembering her past. But her eyes brightened up at the next part seeming to recall happy memories.

Let's waste time chasing cars

Around our heads

I need your grace to remind me

To find my own.

Buring the song kyoko had been thinking about everyone in her life her friends co-workers family shotaro and his parents and her life up to this point. She was so distracted by her emtions it took her a moment to realize the song was over and she had stopped singing. When she caught herself she looked up at the president and said "huh hahahaa well I did warn you. I'm pretty bad completely tune deaf. But before you give me your opinion please just let me finish the rest of the songs. I'd prefer to get them done before I hear your thoughts. Please?" Kyoko asked looking at the president nervously rubbing the back of her neck.

The president studied her for a moment wondering how she could think this after a moment he spoke "alright I understand. You may contuine if that is something that will make it easier for you. Though I think you are doing well in trying. Just keep doing your best." He said smiling resuringly.

Everyone else in the other room were shocked that she thought that was bad. They were all in dead shocked silence all wondering the same thing. How could see think this and could of happened to make her believe it.

Meanwhile while kyoko was putting the next CD in the CD player and spoke through the microphone saying. "The next song I'm going to sing will be born this way." She said with a big smile it seems like she likes this song the president thought amused. This snapped the others out of there thoughts and listen closely as we're surprised to find again her intire damour changed. Now she had set the chair aside and was standing tall and proud with a smile on her face as she started to sing and man did she rock it. It astoinded them that she could sing these two different styles near perfection.

it doesn't matter if you love him or capital H-I-M

at this point at the very start she was looking directly at the president straight in the eyes. Her eyes filled with dangerous feirceness.

Then she put her hand up straight in the air. With her fist closed, fist bumping the air above her. As she sang

just put your paws up.

Cause you were born this way, baby.

Then she made her way to chair she had against the back of the stage while the intro music was play then sat down tilting her knees to the right side while resting her head on her hand looking off to the left wistfully in memory as if recalling a fond memory. While singing

my mama told me when I was young,

We are all born superstars

She rolled my hair and put my lipstick on,

In the glass of her boudoir.

putting her hand from her head she put it over her heart singing.

"there's nothin wrong with loving who you are."

She said "cause he made you perfect, babe."

"So hold your head up high girl and you'll go far, listen to me when I say."

at this moment she stood up and walked to the front of the stage singing

im beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes.

Im on the right track baby I was born this way.

After that she stayed at the front of the stage and sang with all her heart and feircely looking like putting all her pride in the song. Kyoko was thinking of her time after shotaro and what she wished she could say to all the people who had hurt her in the past. She let her fire shine.

When she finished she leaned forward to catch her breath. Pulling a hand through her hair when she was standing up straight again. A move that would have turned many headed and certainly made Ren's heart beat faster. He now knew how the woman he interacts with must feel when he did that.

"Mogami San you seemed really passionate while singing that song is there any reason for that?" The president asked curiously looking kyoko

"Well not really any particular reason sir. I just agree with the message of the song and I have always liked the song. It's one of my favorite songs." Kyoko said honestly smiling brightly.

"Ah I see. Well contuine on with the last song ok?" The president said nodding approvingly

"Ok as you know the last one song is a from the little mermaid." Kyoko said putting the CD in and then for this song just sitting on the edge of the stage with her legs over the edge. Then she sang and it was even more beautiful than the other songs.

Part of Your World

Jodi Benson

Look at this stuff
Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl
The girl who has ev'rything?
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Lookin' around here you'd think
(Sure) she's got everything

I've got gadgets and gizmos aplenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
(You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty)
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more

I want to be where the people are
I want to see
want to see 'em dancin'
Walkin' around on those
(Whad'ya call 'em?) oh - feet
Flippin' your fins you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumpin', dancin'
Strollin' along down a
(What's that word again?) street

Up where they walk
Up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free
Wish I could be
Part of that world

What would I give
If I could live
Outta these waters?
What would I pay
To spend a day
Warm on the sand?
Betcha on land
They understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women
Sick o' swimmin'
Ready to stand

And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions
And get some answers
What's a fire and why does it
(What's the word?) burn?

When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love
Love to explore that shore above?
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world

By the end of the song there wasn't a dry eye from anyone listening. They could all hear the emtions of loneliness longing and awe in her version of the song it was mesmerizing the way she sang. Everyone was under her spell that when the song ended the silence felt like a slap in the face.

And for a while not a single sound was made then the president started clapping.
