Disclaimer: I do not own princess tutu
The image of Rue's face paling at the news of the stolen book was stuck in Ahiru's head. She was pulling on a leatard that she was borrowing for that day. She looked at her self in the mirror as she pulled her hair up into a bun. Her body had indeed changed. Her chest had seemed to swell a little more than she remembered. She seemed more curvy then she would have thought possible. Her body appeared more of the princess tutu with the eexception that her hair was still long and she probably didn't have the grace still. Ahiru sighed and opened the door and left the dressing room. She walked to the dance room that Rue had told Ahiru to go to. As she walked into the room she saw other students warming up. Mytho and Rue were dancing todether on the side. They gracefully spun and leapt into each others arms. Ahiru smiled as she watched them. She wished she could dance with that much grace. She went to the teacher and asked where she could borrow some shoes. The teacher got her soe size and got her some regular ballet shoes and some point shoes. Ahiru took them wondering how she was going to tell him she couldn't dance on point. Ahiru went by the barr and put on the shoes and started to streatch. As she put her leg on the barr she found herself bending further then she could before. She looked at her reflection sure she was just imagining it, but her reflection revieled what hse felt. She could almost go int' a full split form on the barr. In excitment she began to streach other limbs and other excursizes to see if she could go farther. She found that she could. Ahiru loooked at the point shoes with curiousity. She quickley put them on and raised herself on point. It hurt her toes as she expected. But at the same time she could hold in poses she never dreamed of being able to do.
While Ahiru was having the time of her life the rest of the room was rather gloomy. Hushed wisperes were going around about the stolen book of dark spells.
"What do you think the person who stole it will do with it?" Some wispered to another. A high pitched voice came from the group rather cheerfully.
"They will probably curse the whole town and we will all be doomed to die! Everyone would be so flustered! It would be so cute!"
"Lillie. Serriously. This sin't time for you to be excited and going off." Said a more rough voice. At the sound of the two voices Ahiru stopped and got out of her world.
"Pike! Your worried! it's so cute! Just like when little Ahiru was so worried." She gave a dramatic sigh. "I wish we had our little duck back." she said. "Then i can dress her up and make her feel uncomfortable!" Ahiru felt herself want to be excited and sick at the same time. That was defanently Lillie.
"I know what you mean. Not that i would make her misserable. But i do miss her." The other said. Ahiru would have to get pike on her own. Lillie was starting to scare her. She wasn't difrent but... Ahiru was sure she didn't want to get mixed up in that again.
As Ahiru was thinking about how to corner Pike Fakir came up behind her and was looking at her.
"If you stand there like that your going to become a tree, moron." He said watching her jump about five feet in the air before spinning on him.
"Fakir! don't scare me like that!" She said frowning.
"Well if you would pay attention i wouldn't have to." He said going to the barr to streatch.
"That doesn't give you an excuse to scare me!" She said crossing her arms. Fakir rolled his eyes. as he streatched he noticed the point shoes on her feet.
"who gave you those shoes?" He asked suddenly worried. Ahiru looked down.
"These? The teacher." She said shrugging. Fakir held his forhead.
"Stupid. you have never done pointe in your life." He said. Ahiru frowned.
"Oh yeah? then how can i do this?" She asked as she went up on her own and spun around on her shoes. Fakir watched dumbfounded.
"...but... how?" he asked.
"Well clearly i got talent." Ahiru said sticking her head out.
Jake smiled watching the gear. The black book beside him. drosselmeyer behind him fiddling with his hands nervously.
"What is that book suposed to do?" He asked. JAke shook his head.
"Now now why would i tell you thhat?" He asked.
"Well." drosselmeyer resond outloud. "You don't have to tell me everything just the ending?" Jake looked back at him.
"Well. It will end in tradgety." drosselmeyer frowned.
"So you say." He said. Jake smirked.
"I guess you could say that little duck won't be sweet little girl much longer."
