*sweatdrops* Ah...heh heh. I made a mistake. This chapter is also kinda
short, it's the NEXT chapter that's huge, but this chapter is important so
pay attention. Sorry about that, I miscounted my chapters. ^^;; Anywho,
hope you enjoy it. (Like I said, major out-of-character warning here! ^__^)

The next week flew by as well. Andraaia and her crew were kept incredibly busy packing equipment and preparing for departure. Kat and Kitty were given demo tapes for the next four moves they were to learn. Kat was taking along plenty of clay for a new sculpture and Kitty had gotten songs for the next month on her saxophone. Kurry had four papers to write and two new songs for the violin. But they were required to work on those on their own time, as they were up for a long haul in dancing.
Finally, the big day arrived. The moment Kurry woke up, she grinned in pure excitement and leapt out of bed. She dashed next door to Kitty's room and for the first time ever Kitty opened the door before she had to knock. The two girls beamed at each other and squealed. 'EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!'
'Excited are we?' Kat was suddenly there beside Kurry.
'YES! Now c'mon girls, we've gotta make a good first impression. We'll help each other pick outfits and then make sure all our stuff's together. Let's move.' Kurry took charge. The other two didn't mind. They knew she just wanted the trip to be perfect.
The three girls had a lot of fun picking out clothes for each other. After half an hour, they'd finally decided. Kurry was wearing slimfit blue jeans, a soft yellow tank top and a light blue sweater that matched her jeans. She brushed her golden hair straight and let it shimmer down her back to her waist. Kitty was wearing black jeans and a kawaii black top that had those sleeves that hang down from the elbow, and she combed her chocolate brown locks down so they bounced neatly over her shoulders. Kat had chosen a deep green sweater that matched the colour of her eyes and black pants with a white stripe on each leg. She'd done her dark hair in a ponytail. Once they were dressed they gathered their luggage and hauled it downstairs to the dance room, locking their dorms behind them.
Once again Andraaia had been put in charge. She seemed to enjoy the leadership. As the dancers entered, they were immediately roped into helping. Kitty and Kat took care of everyone's bags, while Kurry and a girl named Xantcha heaved the boxes and cases of equipment out to the bus.
The two schools had gone all-out. Pooling their funds, they'd rented an immense Greyhound-type bus to move in and there were plenty of comforts for the two-and-a-half hour journey. They were to leave at 10:00 sharp and according to Andraaia they were right on schedule. Her girls were loading the bus, while their friends and roommates waited around to see them off. At five minutes to ten, all the gear was packed, the bus was loaded and the girls were told to say farewell. Kurry hugged Hilary and Seren, who told her to phone if she could. Kitty and Kat were saying goodbye to Megan and Robyn, friends from martial arts class. The farewells over, Andraaia herded everyone onto the bus. Mrs. Calaban took a head count and everyone waved frantically out the window as the bus started up. Kurry suddenly poked Andraaia and pointed out the window. Pam, Ashley and Courtney were standing there, incredulous (and jealous) looks on their faces. Kurry and Andraaia waved sweetly and burst into laughter as the bus pulled away. They were on their way!
During the bus ride, the girls talked, had snacks and played cards. They were permitted to move about as long as they didn't stand up too long. Kurry plopped into the seat next to Kitty, who was checking out some of the features on her chair. Apparently she'd discovered the automatic comfort control and was having fun making the chair go up and down. Kurry was staring anxiously off into space, contemplating the "what if's" of the trip. She began to mutter out loud to herself, with Kitty only half- listening.
'What if they're not decent guys? What if we don't make it to the next level? What if Pam and co. show up? What if rabid sharks attack the competition? I dunno what I was thinking! I can't dance in front of a bunch of guys! What if I make a fool of myself?!' she suddenly cried out.
Kitty sighed and put her chair into the upright position. 'You won't make a fool of yourself. It's in your blood. You love dancing and you're good at it. So why wouldn't you want to strut your stuff?' she reassured Kurry. The blonde girl grinned fondly at her dark-haired friend. Kitty always knew just what to say to make Kurry feel better. 'Well, even if its one big flop, I'm glad you came,' she said. Kitty grinned back. 'No problem. ^____^'
Mrs. Calaban stood up. 'Girls, we're almost there. Remember, best behaviour and let's just...do our best,' she told them. The girls started to gather their belongings, yet there was tension in the air. Even the teacher seemed nervous.
There was a rush to look out the windows as the bus pulled through the gate. The girls oohed and ahhed at the immensity of the school, which lay at the end of a long sweeping drive. The bus slowed to a crawl as it made its way up the lane.
************************************************
Up at the school, a violet eyed boy was gazing out the window, only half-listening to his voice teacher's instructions. As the bus came into view, he raised his head and called out, 'Oy! They're here!' There was a general stampede for the door. The teacher threw his hands up in defeat and followed his class out to the lawns.
************************************************
The bus stopped in a large parking oval. As the girls dismounted, they noticed a host of guys gathering nearby. Trying to ignore them for now, Andraaia and her crew set to work offloading equipment while Kurry, Kitty and Kat piled duffel bags and instrument cases nearby to be sorted. A tall, lanky teacher walked up to Mrs. Calaban and shook her hand. 'Hullo, I'm Mr. Topoli. Welcome to our school. My boys will help you unload. Did you have a pleasant journey?'
Mrs. Calaban nodded and the two began making plans for dorming arrangements.
************************************************
The same boy with violet eyes who had called out in class was now standing on the green, observing the arriving girls. As he watched, a slim girl with waist-length blonde hair exited the bus and dashed over to two dark-haired girls who were hauling bags out of one compartment. His eyebrows rose involuntarily as she piled the bags nearby...then he was jabbed in the ribs.
'Ow! WHY must you always DO that, Bakura?!'
His white-haired friend grinned. 'Because your reaction is so funny, Malik,' he taunted. Malik took a half-hearted swing at him and missed. Bakura just chuckled.
Another white-haired boy came up on Malik's right. 'Yo, some fine lookin' girls we get to work with, eh?' he drawled. Bakura smirked. 'Ryou, you think so much and yet so little.' Ryou nodded absently, then 'Hey! What's that supposed to mean?' But Bakura wasn't listening anymore. He leaned nonchalantly on Malik's shoulder and muttered, 'So which one strikes your fancy?'
Malik's eyes bugged out. 'Bakura!'
Bakura rolled his eyes and smacked his friend lightly upside the head. 'Not like that, you hentai! I just meant, which one's caught your eye?'
Malik considered for a moment, then indicated the blonde. 'That one there. She's cute.'
Bakura nodded. 'See the dark-haired one she's talking to? She's got green eyes. I always did have a thing for green eyes.'
'She and the other dark one must be sisters,' Ryou mused. 'They almost look alike.'
Just then, the females in question glanced right at them. All three boys turned away, whistling innocently.
************************************************
'He was ogling you,' Kat stated simply.
'Which one?'
'The one with violet eyes.'
Kurry shook her head. 'No way. No blinkin' way.'
Kitty nodded. 'Yep, it's true. He was totally checking you out, girl.'
Kurry glanced quickly at them, then shook her head again. 'Nuh uh. And by the way, the taller white-haired one is checking Kat out.'
Kat jumped a little and flushed. Kitty giggled at her sister's predicament.
'Besides, how probable is it that they're even singers?'
************************************************
'How probable is it that they're even dancers?'
'I dunno, mate. I guess we'll have to find out, won't we?'
Malik held out his palms, face up. Bakura and Ryou slapped them in a low five. Malik smirked and cocked an eyebrow.
'Gentlemen, its showtime.'
************************************************
'Well, even if they aren't singers, they'll still see the show,' Kat pointed out.
'Right. We're still doing our best,' Kitty reminded them.
Kurry smirked and cocked an eyebrow.
'Ladies, let's rock 'em!'
