Luckily, the next morning came, and Mo woke up early to make a special breakfast with eggs with cheese, some bacon, and grilled potatoes. Not surprisingly, the first one who had come down to breakfast was Estelle.
"Is that you, Estelle?" Mo smirked.
"How'd you know it was me?" Estelle replied.
"Special mother powers." Mo smirked as she cooked.
"Well, I couldn't help but come downstairs." Estelle said.
"Breakfast is almost ready," Mo smiled. "I wanted to make it extra special."
"You're the best mom ever." Estelle smiled back, hugging her.
Dot soon came down as she yawned.
Mo continued to cook while Estelle waited at the table, but kept staring at the clock and she seemed to be trying to use magic to make the clock say 11:00 so that they could go sooner.
"Estelle, that's not gonna work." Mo chuckled as though she knew Estelle would try and do something like that.
"Dang it." Estelle groaned.
"Just be lucky you didn't have to dance with her while she was sleep dancing." Dot yawned.
Mo couldn't help but giggle.
"Sorry, I'm just so excited about going into this dance school." Estelle smiled.
"We know!" Everyone else replied to her.
Soon enough, everyone ate breakfast.
"When's Lee coming over?" Akito asked.
"About an hour," Estelle replied. "He wants to eat breakfast first."
"Breakfast is important." Atticus said.
"That it is." Vincent agreed.
"Mm... Cheesy eggs~..." Estelle smiled.
"Your favorite." Mo smiled back.
Estelle beamed as she looked excited and even wore the necklace she was given last night after dinner.
After they ate, they met up with Lee, and they soon went to the dance academy, and there seemed to be another car heading over there with a girl around Estelle's age in the back who seemed a bit nervous, but her parents were happy for her.
"She must be nervous." Estelle said.
"That woman looks familiar..." Atticus muttered to himself, seeing the woman with her husband who seemed to be foreign.
"Really? Hmm..." Mo replied.
They soon went inside of the dance academy.
"Hi." Estelle smiled to the girl.
"Wah! Oh, um, hi." The girl replied.
"Are you being enrolled here too?" Estelle asked.
"Y-Yeah... I just got my acceptance letter." The girl replied.
"My name is Estelle Fudo." Estelle smiled.
The girl paused before she soon smiled back. "My name is Ramona Gibbler."
"Nice to meet you." Estelle smiled back.
Ramona smiled to Estelle.
"Gibbler... Gibbler... Gibbler..." Atticus muttered to himself. "I know I've heard that name somewhere before."
They soon got inside.
Madame Natasha was there waiting for them.
"Good afternoon, Madame Natasha." Mo smiled.
"Yes, good afternoon, Mrs. Fudo, right on time." Madame Natasha nodded.
Mo smiled to that.
"We're looking forward to having you here," Madame Natasha said. "Also, welcome Mr. and Mrs. Gibbler."
"Ah, gracias, Señora Natasha," The man replied. "This is our daughter Ramona. I am Fernando, and this is my wife, Kimmy."
"KIMMY GIBBLER?!" Atticus's eyes widened.
"Hey, Atticus." An older Kimmy greeted with a smile.
"I knew your last name was familiar." Atticus said.
"Uh, Detective Fudo, you know this woman?" Lee soon spoke up.
"Why, yes, I do, Lee," Atticus smiled. "Kids, I'm sure you remember your Aunt Jessica's stories about the Tanner family?"
"Yeah...?" The Fudo kids nodded.
"Stephanie and I were best friends." Kimmy smiled.
"I thought it was DJ and that you and Stephanie kept calling each other names." Atticus said.
Kimmy stuck out her tongue, a bit immaturely.
"How rude!" Atticus playfully pouted.
"Ohh, yeah... She used to always say that." Kimmy said.
Atticus and Kimmy shared some laughs together before they followed Madame Natasha inside the corridors.
"Where do you live now?" Atticus wondered.
"I actually live with DJ and Stephanie now and the boys." Kimmy told him.
"That's nice." Atticus said.
They soon came into the auditorium where a stage was.
"The students will perform here for shows and practice." Madame Natasha told them.
"Look, Estelle, you'll be like the ballerinas who do pageants in Christmas." Mo smiled to her daughter for excitement.
"W-W-With people watching...?" Ramona shivered.
"Of course." Madame Natasha told her.
They soon walked around as Madame Natasha showed them around. The adults looked excited for the girls and Estelle was beaming quite happily while Ramona looked nervous and shook up.
"So, where are the students?" Mo asked.
"The dining hall," Madame Natasha replied. "There's a special luncheon to welcome Estelle."
"Special dinner. Special breakfast. Special luncheon," Lee teased Estelle. "You must be... Very special."
They soon went to the dining hall. There were already some girls there who soon looked over.
"Girls, we have two new faces joining us today," Madame Natasha informed. "Estelle Fudo and Ramona Gibbler."
"Hello." Estelle smiled.
The girls smiled back and greeted their future classmates. One girl seemed to stand out among the crowd.
"Welcome to Madame Natasha's school," The blonde girl smiled to Estelle and Ramona. "My name is Kristyn."
"Nice to meet you, Kristyn." Estelle smiled back.
"Hello." Ramona added.
Everyone soon sat down to have a welcome to school lunch, but Madame Natasha reminded them to not eat too much since ballerinas often didn't eat before performances.
"Ah, I feel like I'm living in my childhood favorite book: Angelina Ballerina." Estelle beamed.
"That's my childhood favorite book too." Kristyn smiled.
Estelle looked very happy to hear that.
"So, Kimmy, tell us... How are DJ and Stephanie?" Atticus asked as he sounded like he was dying to know. "I feel like the last time we hung out was for Jesse and Becky's wedding."
"They're all right, I suppose," Kimmy told him. "It's actually kinda like history is repeating itself though, because now DJ raises her three sons alone, but of course, Stephanie and I help out."
"Whoa, three sons?" Atticus asked.
"Mm-hmm," Kimmy nodded. "Jackson, Max, and little Tommy Jr."
"Wow." Atticus said.
"We moved in with them." Fernando grinned.
"Well, I did, you just visit all the time," Kimmy told her ex-husband. "And it's so cute whenever Jackson and Ramona bond. They're like a brother and sister!"
"That's nice to know." Atticus smiled.
"You should come over sometime," Kimmy smiled back to him. "The door's always open."
"You got it." Atticus nodded.
Ramona still felt nervous about being up on stage with a bunch of people watching. She loved to dance, but she felt scared about doing it in public. Estelle could tell Ramona was nervous.
"This looks like a great school, Estelle," Lee smiled to his girlfriend. "I almost wish I was going with you."
"Oh, there aren't many boy students here, so more would be nice." Madame Natasha commented.
Estelle was happy to hear that.
"Oh, uh, I mean... Heh... I'm not a dancer." Lee smiled nervously.
"But he's a fast learner." Estelle said.
"Estelle...?!" Lee bit his lip.
"Why don't you come with us?" Estelle suggested to him.
"Um, okay." Lee said.
Estelle then hugged Lee suddenly.
"I guess I can do this... I can handle it... Right...?" Lee blinked.
"Why not, Lee?" Akito chuckled.
"Excellent." Madame Natasha said.
"Heh... Sign me up..." Lee said, a bit wearily.
Eventually, the lunch was over, and it was time for the teenagers to say goodbye to their parents.
"Have a nice day, sweetie." Mo smiled to her daughter.
"Thanks, Mom, I will." Estelle smiled back.
"I know you're gonna wow them in this school, Sis." Akito smiled.
"Thanks, Bro." Estelle smiled back.
"Don't show off too much." Vincent teased.
"Estelle Fudo never shows off." Estelle smirked.
"Oh, we know." Akito smirked back.
"Just remember to have fun." Atticus smiled.
"I will, Daddy," Estelle smiled back. "Thank you."
"No problem." Atticus smiled back.
The family shared one big warm hug and they soon separated. Ramona did the same with her parents and they soon went to leave as well. After the two families left, it was time for practice. Madame Natasha soon gave Estelle and Ramona their new outfits for practicing dancing which were black leotards with light pink tights and purple legwarmers.
"Here we go." Estelle smiled.
"Oh, boy..." Ramona let out a small sigh. "I just hope I don't mess up."
"I'm sure you won't." Estelle assured her.
Ramona let out a small sigh as they walked off together. The younger girls soon came out as Madame Natasha directed everyone on stage. Somehow, one of the younger girls made Estelle think of Kelly. Estelle looked to that and gave a small smile, thinking of her childhood best friend who was also Barbie's little sister.
