Hey guys, it's me again. I just wanted to thank my two reviewers OpenDoorLeia and Three Is My Lucky Number.
I'm trying to get over the thousand word count while updating as much as possible during march break. It's just that during break, I wanna get at least a chapter out a day. And usually with me, to write a chapter that long takes about a week for me. So please bear with me. FYI, Bast refers to herself as Avery cause that is the one thing she can remember from her childhood. So she and her brother refer to themselves with their REAL given names while everyone else refers to them with their stage names.

Hey brother." Avery said as she came up to Asher who was already in his left leg split. "I know I'm late. Joker held me up with this kid's 'entry exam'."
Avery slid down into her right splits as Joker came in with Finnian to do tightrope walking. Once again, pebbles repeatily hit him, keeping him centered on the rope. Avery sighed as she rose only to fall into the left splits.
"That boy's an odd one. Don't you agree, Asher?" She asked her brother. Her brother nodded as he watched the boy stagger towards the group.
Avery got up from when she had been on the ground, and began discussing what their next dance should be like.
"I think maybe we could a snippet from Swan Lake. Maybe the main theme where the prince is entranced by the white swans grace and beauty?" Avery suggested.
Asher mulled over it as Avery started to think about costume designs. If Asher approved, she would have to modify some of their costumes.
Asher shook is head, saying it would be perfect.
"Great! I'll go give the sheet music to the band!" Avery said energetically.

She ran towards the tent's entrance, once again smashing her head into Joker's back. "Damn it!" she growled after her was shaken out of her daze.
"Everyone, this is Black." Joker said to the second tier members. Avery peered around Joker's shoulder to see better.
"A pleasure to meet you." The tall man, now classified as Black, said.
"And this one's Smile!" Smile looked shocked as members whispered things such as "What a cute little boy." and "Come on Smile- smile!".

Avery ran off, laughing at the boy's irked face.
She walked into her colourful tent, trying to remember where she had put the music sheets. Were they under her large red adorned bed or had Asher stored them in the trunk at the end of her bed? Avery sighed getting on her hands and knees before wriggling her way under her bed. There was her box filled with hair ordainments and another that protected her expensive ballet shoes. There was no box that was labeled: Music Sheets in Asher's neat handwriting.
Avery growled before squirming out of the confining space. Everything just ALWAYS had to be in the last place to look. Rising from the floor and whipping a bit of dust off her person.

Avery roughly opened her trunk and found the box sitting on the top of everything else in the navy blue box. She let out a cry of anguish before grabbing the box and throwing the lid shut.
Avery stormed out of the tent, not looking at anyone as tier members snickered at the 'Great Bast' who's appearance was more than slightly rumpled. Her black hair was sticking out of her braid, dirt smeared on her cheek and her dress still holding onto dust. It looked like she had decided to go brawl with a bear.
"Here's the flippin' papers, now go practice!" She hissed at the band members. They all scrambled as she glared at everyone of them.

"Cruel as ever, eh Bast?" came Dagger's extremely annoying voice from the entrance to the practice tent.

"Dagger, I'm going to give you ten seconds to run before I go physcomaniac on you." Avery grinded out.
"Okay, okay. Good kitty cat." Dagger said before darting off in any given direction.

She sighed and went in the practice tent. There were millions of second tier members practicing with the many giant balls, tightrope walking and the trapez. Then the band was in their little corner, learning the music she'd given them. The noise of everyone was giving her a head ache. She walked over to a part of the tent that wasn't taken by second tier members.

Avery began going through the dance slowly, making corrections when needed. But she couldn't focus with the boy Smile looking at her the whole time. She stopped and turned to face him.

"Do you need something?" Avery asked in an irrataied voice. Smile stuttered before answering with an equally irrataied tone.

"What, is it wrong to watch you dance?" he sneered.

"Well it is when you do it creeply."

The boy looked like he was going to strangle her. The only thing that stopped him from doing so was that Asher had walked in and over to his twin sister.

"No, I'm fine Asher."
Asher made some more motions before glaring at her.
"No, I wasn't trying to pick a fight! He started it by staring at me!" Avery argued. But Asher wouldn't have any of it and he grabbed his sister's wrist. As he walked by Smile, he gave an apologetic grin before dragging Avery by her wrist to give her a long lecture of how she should be polite and how she needs to act more lady-like and not act like a savage beast all the time.

Avery walked into her brother's purple drapped room. Asher sure knew how to decorate.

His bed was purple just like the tent and the carpets covering the hard ground where purple with gold accents. It was the complete opposite of hers, which was covered in reds, black, and silver details. Her brother stood in front of her, making furious hand motions and expressions, telling her that she was a lady and she should be acting like one.

"FINE! I'll apologize to Smile next time I see him! Now if your done, can I please go to Doc's to get some pain stuff or something?" Avery asked her brother.
Asher nodded before pulling her into a hug.
"Okay, okay! I love you too!" Avery laughed out.

Asher gave her his trademark grin, releasing his sister and making a shooing motion with his hands.
Avery giggled before walking out of Asher's tent.

"Hey Smile!" Avery called out to the boy who was standing with Doll.

The two of them turned around, both wondering who had called his name.

"Hey, I just wanted to apologize for snapping at you earlier today." She huffed out as she stood in front of Doll and Smile. Smile had a bewildered look on his face, and Doll was just plain grinning. She knew that Avery never apologized unless she ment it.

"It's okay, Bast." The boy stuttered out. He hadn't expected some one who was described as a cold, cruel ice queen by some second tier members to apologize to him and actually mean it.

"And I was wondering if we could be friends." Avery told him. Now even Doll was suprised. Avery never wanted any new friends. She was happy with the first tier members since they were her family. In Avery's eyes, family was all one needed.

"Sure. I'd like that." Smile replied, smirking at her. Avery returned it with a dazzling grin of her own.

"Great!"

I wanted to end this chapter on a slightly happy note. So ya, Review! I beg of you, review!
