"Jean!"
"What!?" she exclaimed, apparently shocked. "There must have been some mistake!"
One of the gym teachers walked up onstage, whispering something in the principal's ear. Jean looked from one to the other, eyes wide in hope.
"It appears that the teachers have decided to dismiss someone from the competition, for the use of dangerous explosives in her talent demonstration. I'm sorry, Tabitha, but I must take your tiara."
"Geez, this bites," Tabitha said, placing the tiara in his outstretched palm. She then walked backstage, swinging her hips.
"The second part of the competition will be held tomorrow. It will be the "Lifestyle and Fitness in Swimsuit" portion."
A few boys cheered. Kelly ignored them, and instead continued. "The swimsuits cannot be too revealing, and must be approved of before the competition. You are dismissed."
Conversation erupted as people got up, chattering excitedly about what would happen tomorrow.
Kitty phased through Kurt's wall, carrying two of her favorite bathing suits. Kurt was in the middle of a nap though, so Kitty leaned over his face, prodding his shoulder.
"Kurt! Kurt! Wake up! Wake up Kurt!" she urged, poking him harder.
"Wha…?" Kurt opened one eye sleepily, closing it again. Then both eyes shot open and the fuzzy elf yelled in surprise, teleporting.
Kitty looked up as she heard another 'bamf'. Kurt was hanging upside-down on his fan, fur sticking out.
"Jeeze Keety, don't scare me like that again!" He bamfed back down to the floor, rubbing sleep from his eyes.
"I'm sorry Kurt, but I need you to decide which suit I should wear for the competition tomorrow! Should I wear this one?" She held up a one-piece suit with colorful polka dots and the back cut out. "Or should I wear this one?" She held up a solid lime green bikini with little palm trees printed on the left side of the top half.
"Erm…definitely the bikini," Kurt advised, walking Kitty to the door.
"Are you sure? Because I-"
"Yes." Kurt shut the door, leaving Kitty in the hallway holding both swimsuits. She contemplated phasing back in there and telling him off, but then decided to let the sleeping elf lie.
She set off to find Scott and ask his opinion.
