Ch.4 Dance Lessons: Ballet Blues
"Uh Minto.. why are you wearing Ballet slippers with your waitress uniform?" Ryou asked the next day.
"I'm teaching a class tonight, I must practice my beginners skills since I am an expert dancer!" Minto answered doing a small plier.
"Are you serious? Are the students bringing the teacups or is your butler going to fill them for you during breaks?" Ryou joked.
"How rude." Minto snapped, "I can do anything if I set my mind to it!"
"Then set your mind on setting those tables for our customers on the double!" Ryou ordered. Minto trudged along to the tables and started setting down the forks.
"Hey Minto wanna go to the movies tonight? They're handing out free minty gumdrop lollipops at the canteen!" Ichigo asked wiping off the table next to her.
"No..I'll pass." she answered tonelessly.
"But you love those lollipops." Ichigo insisted.
"No, I have plans tonight sorry." Minto shouted and walked away.
"Huh?" Ichigo wondered.
That night...
"Are you sure this is necessary?" Kish asked through the boys bathroom.
"Of course every ballet dancer wears them." Minto insisted.
"But they're tight." Kish moaned.
"Then how do you think they got the name from? Now get out here!" Minto shouted.
"I don't wanna!" Kish screamed.
"Don't wanna come out or don't want to dance? Aren't you doing this for Ichigo?" Minto pressed, Kish fell silent.
"Alright, I'm coming out." Kish answered, "Don't laugh."
The doorknob clicked and Kish came out wearing a dark green body suit and chocolate brown tights, his rumpled up socks covered his small ballet shoes. The girls were so shocked to see him that Purin fell over.
"I knew it was bad...I'm not taking ballet anymore and I'm not coming out of this bathroom never ever ever!" Kish shouted as he slammed the door.
"Guess it didn't go well, did it?" Retsu sighed.
"Guess there goes my chance at being a ballet teacher." Minto moaned.
"Come on you guys, let's leave him alone." Purin replied and walked away passing Keiichiro along the way. Keiichiro whistled as he opened the bathroom door and went inside.
"KISSHU! WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN THE BATHROOM!" Keiichiro exclaimed.
"I am never going in there never ever ever! Get these stupid tights off of MEEE!" Kish cried as he ran out of the bathroom and into the night.
