Chapter Seven: Starlight's ((a/n Ballet terms are used please read definitions at the bottom, links for examples are on my profile))
Bella slouched on the sofa sighing in relief. She didn't know how she had done it, but somehow she had turned Alice, Rose, and Esme into top class Dreamscope dancers. There where 5 minutes before the entrances started. The girls slouched beside her also with sighs of relief of their own. It had been difficult and even with Bella's calm teaching methods it had been hard on their nerves. Bella sat up again straightening her head set.
"Ready girls?" She asked tiredly.
Groaning the others sat up and nodded to Bella. Esme raised her hand Bella took it, raising her other which Alice grasped, Rose clasped the hand Alice held out to her. They where connected and took comfort in this they had a common goal that they WOULD NOT be denied, they let their hands drop beside them still clasped tightly. Bella called out to the system.
"Please take us to Yume Palace in cloaking mode."
"Yes, Isabella."
Bella and the others watched as other groups entered watching dances steadily get better. The word's where announced on the Screen in stead of the touch pad. Also clap's where audible after touching a button on the touch pad. Finally it was left to the final three teams. And the most awaited act-as far as the Cullen girls where concerned- was about to start.
"Our next group "The Manly Cullen's" Consist of Romeo, Wolfy, Lee, and Team leader Horus they are in the 3rd Position of Honor, unheard of from a newly made Team until tonight. Now the performance from "The Manly Cullen's."
Bella watched impressed as the boys preformed their routine. She watched with careful observation they moved much like when they fought, Bella wasn't the only one to notice, Alice commented.
"Their using some of our old fighting maneuvers."
Esme nodded absently tightening her grip on Bella's hand. Rose stayed quiet watching as carefully as Bella was. Bella's breath caught when the boys finished, they ended with a dynamic maneuver that included everyone but Emmett's character spinning quickly through the air while Wolfy caught them holding them all up in a elaborate formation. She was impressed, that was a very difficult maneuver she knew, she had in fact created it for Evan and his brothers. The boys had probably been dared to do it by Hitera after she heard of their outrageous transgression.
"Very well done, for the first time in the History of Chara Com's the 2nd Honor Position goes to The Court. They have in fact decided to give the 1st Position to a special guest team. Enjoy The Court's performance."
As Bella watched their performance a smile crept on her face and she said quietly.
"So that's how it going to be."
"What." Alice asked eyes still trained on the screen. Bella chuckled.
"Their challenging me-Bella laughed a little louder shaking her head- with my own routine that I choreographed, but with out me their lacking the aerobatic moves, even so it is an amazing routine that has never been out done. Well until today."
"Do you really think we can beat them?" Rose asked incredulous.
"I know we will."
Bella said, confidently smiling at them not a bit worried about the performance. Once again they where struck at how calm and confident she was. Bella the constant worrier, Bella who gave her self a heart attack anytime they fought, was the one with a calm persona that hadn't eroded at all in the time they had been with her.
"Ready for our grand entrance?" Bella asked slightly excited.
"Yes." They chorused giving into excitement.
"Ok then let's go."
They appeared in the center of the floor in the shadows as the announcer began to introduce them.
"Now in the 1st Honor Position not only the first ever to take the place of the Court, their one for the record books since they just became a team today. They are "Starlight's!" Their team consist of Iris-A spotlight the group, Iris had been in the leaning to the right her hand on her hip she twirled twice then leaned towards the center her arms positioned gracefully just above where Isis crouched- Emealia-Emealia was across from Iris her hand also on her hip to start with, she copied Iris's beginning her arms also gracefully positioned above Isis's hiding spot-Juliet-Juliet stood in front of Isis coming to a point with Emealia on her left and Iris on her right, Juliet raised her leg gracefully to side all the way to where it touched her head, then slid into the splits hands crossed over her front leg, A drum roll started to roam through the palace- And finally the Team Leader, The Legendary, The Great, Former Queen of Dreamscope, Isis!
Isis jumped up into the air spinning her wings flying out, feather's falling everywhere, when she landed she started a Ballet move called Fouetté en tournant. Her wings pulled tightly into her body.
She twirled 1...2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10 times then bringing her leg tighter into her body she twirled faster her hands on her hips. She finally stopped attitude en pointe. Her arms held above her. Their was a long pause, then the palace was a roar with applause, they hadn't even started their routine yet.
The girls sat their mouths wide open, Bella hadn't shared her entrance with them, they where speechless as the crowd roared loudly. Even Bella was surprised by the reaction, her voice didn't betray any of the shock she felt.
"Lets get crushing."
"To Crushing." They choursed loudly together.
The routine was very difficult, Bella took center stage most of the time seeing how the other girls weren't quiet comfortable enough to have a lead postion yet. Bella had protested but they had insisted and where not dissatified. Isis preformed to precfection, their was something different about Isis in front of the crowd though. A new anfectious pull that drew you in and would not let you go.
In their finally maneuver, Juliet took attitude en pointe one arm curled across her body to the opposite shoulder the other arm raised. Iris jumped and spinning not as gracefully as she could have, but managed to land on Juliet's raised hand. She faced the right also at attitude en pointeone arm held in front of her gracefully, her other arm raised like Juliets her head facing up to the dark high ceiling, eyes closed. Esme struggled keeping her concentration bitting her lip waiting for Alice to move. Emealia jumped higher than Iris had but also had trouble keeping her body stable while spinning and landing on outstrected hand but she managed she faced the left taking her stance attitude en pointe as the other two had. Her arm that was not help up was held at her middle section her head held down, eyes closed. Esme looked like she was going to burst a vein, well if she could. Strain was clear on her face as was it on the other girls. Bella prayed they would last. Isis spun to them then jumped spinning more gracefully than the other's had and landed with ease on Emealia's outstrected hand facing backward. She mirrored the other's in stance she postioned arms by crossing her hands over her heart. Or where her heart would be if she wasn't a video game character.
The crowd was dead silent waiting with bated breath for them to either fall or succeed. Bella nodded to Esme, Esme nodded back still looking strained. Juliet slowly, painstakingly, lowered her leg down to double en pointe with small delicate steps -that where a billion times harder than they looked- she moved slowly in a circle. Alice, Rose, and Bella strained to keep their characters completely still while moving.
Though it would seem harder for Alice, Rose, and Esme, it was in truth harder for Bella, the others had a person ontop of them and if the other person stayed in perfect postion so would they, but Bella was completely realiant on her own balance. If she lost control then all the others would. Bella squeezed Alice and Esme's hands their sign that it was time for Bella, Alice, and Rose to dismount. Esme was bitting her flawless bottom lip as Juliet pushed off with her left foot and began spinning slowly her leg moving laboriously. Isis through up her arms and jumped her head arched back arms held behind her. Emealia jumped a quarter of a second after coming to Isis's left her arms hands clasped just up her chin. Iris followed quickly, jumping on Isis's right hand clasped behind her back. Then finally Juliet jumped under Isis her arms held up. They did this in a matter of milliseconds so they could all be in the air at the same up as they started to come down Isis flew quickly under the girls –Bella's face creased with concentration- Juliet placed her pointed feet on Isis's shoulders still holding her hands up. Emealia landed on Isis's open left hand and Iris on the right, keeping their arms as they where. Bella braced her self as she somehow miraculous managed to land Isis on double en pointewith the weight of the three girls………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………... ...The appaluse was defeaning.
Ballet Terms used and Definitions By Wikipedia ((Examples on my Profile)) And no if your wondering I do not own Wikipedia
Fouetté en tournant: A turn made by using a fouetté. For each turn the dancer stands momentarily on flat foot and in plié, as the working leg is extended in fourth position en l'air (or à la hauteur) front then whipped around to the side as the working foot is pulled in to touch behind the supporting knee. That creates the impetus to spin one turn as the dancer executes a relevé, rising onto pointe. Done properly, the dancer remains in place.
attitude en pointe:A position in which the dancer stands on one leg (known as the supporting leg) while the other leg (working leg) is lifted and well turned out with the knee bent at approximately 120-degree angle. The lifted or working leg can be behind (derrière), in front (devant), or on the side (à la seconde) of the body. If the leg in attitude derrière is resting on the floor, then the pose is known as B-plus. It is important to note that when executing an attitude position devant or derrière, the knee should be in line with the ankle, as if the whole leg would be resting on a surface. The attitude position can be performed with the supporting leg and foot either en pointe, demi pointe or on a flat foot
en pointe: Performing steps while on the tips of the toes.
