Chapter 4: The preparations.
"Now girls... listen up. We only have four days left before the presentation..." Tomoyo explained while they were having lunch. "... from now on we'll have to practice everyday to get this right! And remember... no boys allowed!"
The girls giggled and then continued with their lunch. Those days were going to be the days of hell.
~Day 1~
"You want me to put my hands where??!" Yelled a very embarrest Sakura.
"One here and the other one there." Replied Tomoyo while she was helping Naoko get into that little thing she called dress. "Now go on!!"
"Fine!" Sakura said as the music started again and so did the girl's dance.
"Gitchi gitchi ya ya da da... gitchi gitchi ya ya hee... mocca chocolata ya ya..." The sang in unison.
"... creole Lady Marmalade." Finished Sakura.
"Good! Now start all over again."
Rika, Chiharu and Sakura groaned and repeated the part for the 10th time that day.
"I'm not going to make it alive!!" Complained Rika.
~Day 2~
"He met Marmelade down in old Moulin Rouge, strutting her stuff on the street. She said: hello, hey Joe. You wanna give it a go, oh"
"Hmm... Rika, you wouldn't mind singing that without blushing, right?" Asked Tomoyo sweetly.
"I can't help it!!!" She yelled as red as she could get. "I have to wear this!!"
"What does that has to do with the part you're going to sing?" Asked Chiharu rasing an eyebrow.
"Nothing... but I don't want to start!"
"Fine I'll do it!" Said Tomoyo.
"Hey!! I think I finally got it!!" Exclaimed Sakura while doing the very weird step with her heels.
THUD"Guess not..." Naoko said looking at Sakura on the floor.
~Day 3~
"Whoa... you can really walk on heels, Tomoyo!"
"With practice everything is possible." Tomoyo said smiling snapping her fingers.
"It's more impressive that she can actually walk in that dress." Comented Chiharu.
"Oh, you'll get use to this before the presentation."
"Boy... I sure hope so."
"Now the final touch! Head ornaments!" Exclaimed Tomoyo.
"Head ornaments?" Asked Sakura curiously.
"Hai! Let's see now... Chiharu, loose the pigtails and maybe you can wear a white feather. Rika... you'll do fine with this hat." She said handing her a black tall hat. "Naoko, you'll look great with your loose hair, but you gotta take off the glasses."
"No problem! Maybe I can try wearing my contacts." Seh said smiling.
"As long as you don't lose one in the middle of the dance it's fine." Added Rika giggling at the thought of Naoko looking for her contact in the middle of the presentation.
"And Sakura, you'll wear a red tiara!"
"A tiara?!" She asked confunsed.
"Yup!" She replied misteriously.
"Gulp!"
"Oh! And the jewels!!"
"Jewels?" They asked in unison.
~Day 4~
As the music continued the girls kept dancing in perfect unison after a very long day of practice with their make up, dresses, heels and hairdo.
"Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir . Voulez-vous coucher avec moi... Voulez-vous coucher avec moi, ce soir. Voulez-vous coucher avec moi... ohhh...."
THUD.
"Sakura!!!" They all yelled.
"I'm sorry!! It's just to hard!!" She cried.
"We almost got it all together for the first time without you falling!" Chiharu said climbing off her heels for a break.
"I said I was sorry... but I promise I won't fall tomorrow!!"
"Let's hope not..."
"By the way... in the video the have quite a set. Are we going to have that set?" Asked Rika.
"OH, NO!!!! I forgot the set!!!! I had it all ready and I forgot to put it all together!!!!" Tomoyo screamed leaving almost every person around deaf.
"Then let's go get it ready before it's to late!" Naoko said and then they all hurried and exit Tomoyo's room.
"But NOT looking like these..." Cried Chiharu entering the room with all the girls following her.
