It was already a day before the rehearsal. Fern was getting ready in the morning for ballet rehearsal. As soon as she brushed her teeth, she took the nail clipper and began to clip her nails.

She was staring in the mirror when she felt a strange force take control of her hand holding the nail clipper.

Before she knew it, the nail clipper was clipping straight down her nails until it went straight through the pink of the nail.

Fern gasped in agony as she dropped the nail clipper into the sink.

She held her finger, trying to stop the blood. She closed her eyes waiting for it to stop.

Surprisingly, when she opened them the blood was gone.

"Okay," said Dr Fugue as soon as everyone was done for the night's rehearsal. "As you all know the Swan Lake show is tomorrow night. I am very sure that all your efforts will be rewarded. Bring yourselves to the best condition, and give it your all. And for that I'll see you all tomorrow,"

Fern was about to leave when she felt a hand pull her behind.

"Hey!" said the girl. "I'm Francine,"

"Hi," said Fern. "I'm Fern,"

"I just couldn't help but watch you all day long, you're a frigging good dancer!"

"Thanks," said Fern. "So what is it you want to tell me?"

"Oh, it's just that I think you're a sweet person. By the way you know Dr Fugue, right?"

"Yeah what about him?"

"He's a strict douchebag. Don't listen to all the harsh bluffs he tells you. He fires most of the guys here but is so into women because he thinks they are not only better graceful dancers but they are also pretty hot as well. Speaking of which, he's pretty hot for a teacher, don't you think?"

"Ummmm,"

"I would have sex with him if I could,"

"Ewwww!"

"Oh please, it's worth a shot! You can't be the Black Swan if you wouldn't give it a shot. Try it! It's worth it. You're definitely gonna get the feel if you do. Trust me it's worth it. I would so do it. He would wish for a hot girl like me,"

"Francine, you're disgusting," said Fern, a repulsed look on her face as she exited the room.

"Fern, wait!" called Francine, "I was just kidding!"

But Fern was long gone.
