"Hey sweet pea," Paige said to her daughter, Jennifer as she came into the living room early Saturday morning.
"Hi mommy,"Jennifer said sleepily, rubbing her eyes.
"Your up early,"Paige said sipping her coffee.
Jennifer crawled up onto her lap,"I had a bad dream. Demon's were attacking everybody, and you- you died."
Paige hugged her daughter close, rocking slightly."Don't worry, that will never happen."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive. Tell you what. To get your mind off it, today is Clubs Day at the mall, where differnt clubs, sports teams and other activities all set up tables. Do you want to come check that out with me? I'm already taking your brothers. Jimmy wants to play basketball, and Johnny wants to try swim club."
"Sure! Can Jazmin come?" Jenny and Jazmin were really close.
"If she wants."
"Yay!!"she said, completely forgetting her dream.
"Can I watch cartoons?" Jazmin asked as she came into the room.
Paige nodded. Her quiet morning was over.
~*~*~*~AT THE MANOR~*~*~*~
"Leo, honey, can you please go get Melinda out of her room? We are going to the mall for clubs day. Tell her if she wants to play basketball, she's going to have to hurry!!"
"Mommy? Can I do dancing lessons? Pleeeeeease?" Miranda asked.
"We'll see. Just a minute. MELISSA!!!!" she called.
"Yeah?" Melissa poked her head around the corner.
"Come ON!"
"Ok, I'm coming."
Finally Piper got everyone in the car. The arrived at the mall, and met Phoebe fighting with Alex at the entrance, Ashton was jumping up and down with excitement, and Adam had his hand on his little brothers head.
"No! You can't play basketball, do swim club and play indoor soccer. You have to pick ONE!"
"Basketball!" Melinda said.
Alex nodded, "Basketball."
"Good boy," Phoebe said straightening up and pulling her purse over her shoulder,"Hey Piper,"she said uninthusiastically.
"Let's go in," Piper said.
They wandered through the mall until they came to the montage of tables set up in the North End. Suddenly, Miranda spied a table that had pointe shoes, jazz shoes and tap shoes on display, pictures of dancers and all sorts of stunning movements. She grabbed her mothers hand.
"Come on!! That's what I want to do!" she said. Piper looked over, then went to talk with the woman sitting at the table.
"Hi!" she said cheerily,"I'm Lena Corina, the artistic director of Northern Academie of Dance. How may I help you?"
"Hi!" Miranda said grinning up at Lena,"I wanna dance!"
"Well, I think we have just the classes for you. Mrs.-"she paused, realizing she didn't have a name.
"Halliwell-Wyatt,"Piper replied,"But Piper will do just fine.
"Well, Piper. How about the Junior classes. There are 4 classes a week, ballet, jazz, tap, and modern. Several classes are also provided for specialized training, such as character, acrobatic dance, and musical theatre. A test of skills is nessecary for the proper placement in classes."
"Wow!" Piper said, pleased with the variety,"Can we do a trial run of all classes in the first week? I think that Miranda will do ballet and jazz definetly. Perhaps even modern or something interesting."
"Of course,"Lena replied. She handed Piper a pamphlet. It outlined training programs and had a schedule on the back. Piper looked it over.
"Ok, thank you! I'll see you Monday afternoon then." Piper said taking Mailee's hand.
They walked the length of the mall, stopping to sign Melissa up for swim club with Adam and Jennifer and Jazmin, and Melinda to play basketball with Alex. James decided he wanted to play indoor soccer, while Mailee, Ashton and Jonathen were on the list for after-kindergarten gymnastics classes for little guys, twice a week.
~*~*~*~LATER~*~*~*~
"Well, I'm glad that's over with,"Piper said to Phoebe and Paige. They had gotten three way calling for this very purpose.
"Same here. Adam is disgusted that he picked the same thing as 3 of his girl cousins."
Paige and Piper laughed.
"Miranda is really excited. She's going for skill testing on Monday, right after school."
"Oh, wow! I hope she gets a good, erm, score." Paige said.
Piper chuckled."It's not a score, it's just to assure proper placement. Sort of like tryouts, but less stressful."
"Oh. That's good."
"I have to go,"Phoebe said,"Cole's yelling at me that the spaghetti sauce is gross. I just tasted it, and it was fine!"
"See ya later,"Paige and Piper said, and Phoebe hung up.
"Sometimes she worries me,"Piper said to Paige.
"Why?"
"Well, she's been felling off for a couple of days, and now funny tasting sauce, and a bit of a fever this morning, or so Cole said. She just doesn't take a break!"
"Oh,"Paige thought for a moment,"I think I'll take her kids tomorrow. Me Cole and Glenn will take them to McDonalds Playhouse for snacks and a runaround. If Cole agrees, that is. I was going anyways."
"Oh! That's a great idea! I'll see you later. The timer on the chicken just went off."
"Ok, bye."Paige said.
~*~*~*~AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY~*~*~*~
"Well,"Lena said,"I think we have a little contortionist on our hands! We only have two others in the studio! You're welcome to take acrobatic dance classes along with your other chosen classes."
"OH WOW!" Miranda burst,"Can I mommy!! Please, please?"
Piper pondered this. "Ok, I guess. But you'd better be good!"
"I will, I promise!"Miranda said bouncing up and down.
The End of Chapter 9. TBC
I apologize if you don't know what acrobatic dance is, or what a contortionist is. It's all sort of like gymnastics. It's probably in the dictionary. Look it up on Google, maybe?
See ya later!
