When I watched the anime, I thought it was weird that they had classes for ballet, drama, art and writer lessons on Kinkan academy. But no one said anything about a class that focus on music and opera for singers or musicians. So I added that, since I thought that it would be a natural thing to have on a school that focus on different kinds of creative knowledge. Then I will introduce another OC-character here. Disclaimer. I do not own Princess Tutu or it's characters.

Act 5 Secret

The next day, Fakir woke up from a nightmare. He dreamed about Ahiru. She was in danger. But it was just a dream. Ahiru was still sleeping next to his chest.

"Maybe I'm still stressed about you disappearing since yesterday, he said. But you're here, so it's alright."

He hugged the duck gently

and carefully he put her down. Ahiru woke up and greeted Fakir with a quack.

"I'm glad that you're more cheerful today, he said"

"Quack!"

"Do you know what day it is today? It's Friday! After that it will be no more school until Monday and I will be able to be with you more and write my story."

Ahiru was happy. She will be able to spend more time with Fakir during the weekends. Fakir is so handsome. Ahiru felt that she was blushing, when she thought about it. But then suddenly she heard a voice inside her mind. It was Engel-sempai's voice.

"Come to the music class today. I'm waiting for you, Ahiru-chan"

Oh! She totally forgot that she could become a girl again. But what should she do? She can't sing nor play any instrument. Will she be accepted to the music class? They are so talented. And how will she be able to sneak to the music building without Fakir noticing her? Or Pique or Lillie? She really wanted to tell Fakir the truth, but she was afraid that he might get very angry with her. If you knew Fakir, you would know that the last person you want to argue with is Fakir. When he's angry, he's really angry. Ahiru became gloomy for a moment. Maybe he will be disappointed for not telling him?

" I need to go now, but I'll see you later, Ahiru!" Fakir said and waved his hand and took his bag.

Ahiru then flew out of the window and ran towards the lake. She needs to bring her clothes and turn herself into a girl before she was late to school again. She bathed in the lake and quickly she put on her school uniform.

" It feels good to wear a school uniform again. I have missed it. Oh god! I'm late!"

Then suddenly she felt a drumming. It was Uzura who was staring at her. Her big eyes were filled with joy when she saw that Ahiru was back as a girl again!

"Ahiru is a girl again zura!"

Uzura jumped and hugged Ahiru. Ahiru felt embarrassed, but she has missed to be able to talk to Uzura again.

"Schhh…you can't tell anyone about this! Not even Fakir."

"Why can't Uzura tell Fakir-sama zura?"

"Because…I need some time…I wan't to tell him." Ahiru said.

"Oh…Fakir and Ahiru love-love zura!"

"Ah…well, you…can say that…I guess"

Ahiru was blushing and her entire face was red. She loved Fakir…but when people told her that they were in love, she felt embarrassed for some reason. Ahiru was looking at the watch and saw that she was late again.

"WAHHH! I HAVE TO HURRY! BYE UZURA!"

Ahiru ran as fast as she could to school.

In the meanwhile, the music students where gathering together in the music training room. Everyone was bringing his or her instruments, violins, guitars, cellos, and so on.

The teacher was Mrs Neko-sensei, who happened to be married to Mr Neko-sensei in the ballet class. She was a white cat that was tall and beautiful. She was a very kind person, but she did hit Mr Neko-sensei everytime he was talking about marrying her again. He just couldn't get enough of romance and was sometimes sneaking up on her when the ballet students had lunchbreak.

Everytime she thought about it, she sighed.

"Mr Neko-sensei, my dear husband is obsessed with marriage. I was hoping that our wedding would calm his heart, but he's obessed with me. He's such a pain sometimes."

Mrs Neko-sensei was blushing and her expression was filled with romance and embarrassment. All the students were sighning as well and chatting behind Mrs Neko-sensei's back.

"Mr Neko-sensei is scary, I wonder how the ballet students can survive him?"

Suddenly, someone was entering the door. Engel was standing up and smiling. It was Ahiru, who was late to class, again.

"I'm really sorry for being late! But Engel-sempai told be that this is the place I should be." Ahiru said. She was trying to calm her breath from running so much.

Mrs Neko-sensei was smiling, happily for having another student that has discover the magic of music, the true art of glory. Unlike her husband, she felt that the true way of expressing the feelings from the heart could only be done perfectly with music. For Mrs Neko-sensei, no ballet would be good without music as it's true companion. Music and Ballet, they are the lovers that could not be separated from eachother.

Just like Mrs and Mr Neko-sensei.

"Very well, and you are?" asked Mrs Neko-sensei.

"Ahiru, my name is Ahiru"

"Do you play any instrument, Ahiru-chan"

"Well…not really. I'm sorry."

Mrs Neko-sensei thought it was weird that Ahiru-chan came to music class without playing any instrument. How was she suppose to make it in the music class?

"She sings."

Engel-senpai was standing up. He was walking towards Ahiru and grabbed her hand. All the girls of the music class were surprised, Engel was a great musician, but he never really cared about any girl in the music class. Engel was looking deeply into Ahiru's eyes. Ahiru felt that she was blushing. It was almost like looking into Mytho's eyes, so warm and so soft.

" Why didn't you tell me already? A voice is also an instrument. Let's see what you can do! Sing for me!" said Mrs Neko-sensei.

Ahiru was getting nervous. Was she supposed to sing now? Infront of everyone? She will probably die of embarassament, especially if they find out that she's a terrible singer. She couldn't even dance ballet well and Fakir was always teasing her about it. What can she do?

"Don't worry Ahiru-chan. It will sound great. Just believe in yourself and sing from the bottom of your heart. Sing about your wish, your dreams and your sorrow." Engel whispered to her.

Ahiru was so scared. What if the singing would turn out badly? She couldn't go back to the ballet class either, or else Fakir would find out right away and she couldn't face him yet, without an explanation. What is she suppose to do?

It seems like it's getting harder for Ahiru to avoid these boys forever. Would she be able to sing, even though she's a terrible dancer? And what exactly does Engel plan for Ahiru? I guess we have to find out the next time, Drosselmeyer laughed.

To be continued.
