Meru's Dancing Lessons

Prologue

Meru was standing impatiently in the large studio in Seles, newly built after the battle. Meru was excited the moment Dart and Shana had come and visited her at the forest telling her the good news.

*******

"Dart! Shana!" Meru cried as she saw them enter through the entrance. Her magic wing sprouted form her back as she flew down to greet them.

The three friends embraced affectionately.

"I didn't expect to see you here!" Meru laughed. "I thought you were busy with the construction of Seles."

"We were!" Shana said, smiling. "But we decided to come and visit an old friend." Meru did a little twirl, waving her arms.

"I'm not OLD!"

Dart laughed at the bemused expression on Meru's face. "No of course not."

"You should stay out of this Dart!" Meru said with some exasperation. "Don't tell me you're just here to visit, there's something else!"

Dart and Shana exchanged a mysterious glance. "We have a surprise for you Meru!"

Meru glared back in definitely, well, surprised. "Really?!" She cried exultantly. "What?"

Dart smiled. "Well, it was Shana's idea really. She thought it might be nice if we built a dancing studio in Seles, the kids could learn to dance form an expert and liven the place up."

"We would like you to come and be the instructor at the studio." Shana added. "Would that be okay?"

Meru blinked, ruby eyes sparkling with exuberance. "Would that be okay?" She repeated slowly. "It would be more than okay, it'll be WONDERFUL!!" She began to, being a dancer, dance around jubilantly, graceful, funny and sporty, all with expert ease.

"I take that as a yes?" Dart chuckled.

Meru smiled. "You bet it is. When do we start?"

"As soon as you want to and can. We'll head back to Seles and start!" Shana said happily, clapping her hands. "Everyone's coming, Miranda, Haschel, Kongol, perhaps Albert if he has the time to spare."

Meru laughed. "I'd like to see Kongol dance."

Dart desisted his laughter, the smile dropped and turned to fear. "You don't mean."

"Yes, I do. I'm gonna teach all of you guys to dance. Now that you've hired me as a teacher, you all will be my pupils." Meru insisted. "Besides, it's good to be graceful like me, the most beautiful dancer in the Endiness!"

Dart opened his mouth to speak, but Shana's elbow jamming into his side stopped him.

"That'll be great!" Shana exclaimed, covertly jabbing Dart again. "We'd love to!"

"Speak for yourself." Dart muttered, groaning as Shana jabbed him yet again.

"What did ya say?" Meru yelled, cupping a hand to her ear. "Say it louder!"

"I said- Ouch!" Dart began, then rubbed his head in pain as Shana forcefully threw a pebble at him. "What was that for?"

Shana had a look of innocence, "Oh, there was this fly on your head, I wanted to help shoo it away." She pulled the corner of her mouth, trying to hint something.

Dart rubbed his head in pain, muttering. "Try shooing in a way that doesn't involve pain."

Meru stared at them in an unreadable expression.

"Meru!" A voice called.

They all turned to see Guaraha flying down from the teleporter to meet them.

"Hey Guaraha!" Meru yelled, waving her arms. When Guaraha landed she leaped onto his back and hugged his neck.

"Whoa! Meru? What are you doing?" Guaraha asked, trying to pry Meru's arms from his neck. "Aargh, I can't breathe!" He said in a choking voice.

Meru jumped off and slapped him hard on the back, almost knocking him over. "Don't be silly! Meru said, smiling and looked at Dart and Shana, who were regarding her in a bemused expression.

"You could have killed me!" Guaraha panted.

Meru laughed. "Of course not! I'm not that cruel!" She began dancing around him in circles. "Nope! I'm not! And I'm going to teach people how to dance like Mmmeee!! Isn't that great?"

"It's good to see you all again. Is Meru really going to teach dance? Her words are sort of hard to believe when she acts like that."

"It's true!" Meru pouted. "Fine, don't believe me then."

"Well, we best leave as soon as possible." Dart said heading out the entrance.

Meru began to follow, then came and tugged at Guaraha's arm. "Come with me! I can teach you to dance too!" Guaraha smiled, but shook his head. "No. I have things to finish up here. When I'm done I'll go find you."

Meru put on a cute puppy face. "Plleasse?" Guaraha smiled again. "I promise to come find you okay?"

"Fine, you know where Seles is, right?" Meru asked.

Guaraha nodded. "Of course. Now go."

Meru walks and gives Guaraha a big hug, and a peck on the cheek before following Shana out the entrance of the forest.

*******

Meru sighed. Everyone was supposed to be here already, but no one was.

Then the studio door opened, in comes Miranda, Haschel, Kongol, Shana and Dart.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" Shana said. Meru laughed. "Not at all. Now, let the lessons begin!!"

A/N: Well, that was bad, It's hard to write something funny in this form, so I'm changing the script form on the next chappie. It's not at all FUNNY right now, but hopefully it'll be better in my next chapter. It's gonna be HILARIOUS! Well, don't expect an update too soon, I'm working more on my other story(no plural, since there's only one other so far), 'When the Legend began: The Dragon Campaign! Plz read that one! And review! Later plp!

Disclaimer: Don't own LOD, don't own the character, or anything like that. Although I do own the private lessons Meru is(and I emphasize IS) going to give. Well, that's all I have to say. Buh-bye!
