Chapter 5-The Amazing Fib
"What did you just say?" Kalos asked in a disbelieving tone. "You expect me to believe that Karai ran up onstage, tried to perform a back flip to impress you, and knocked herself out?" It wasn't one of Sora's greatest ideas, but she had her fingers crossed hoping the boss would buy it. She nodded. "Sora, have you ever heard of the Tiny Tyrant?"
"Tiny Tyrant?" Sora asked. She'd never heard of a performer going by such a name before. "No. I haven't." Kalos stood and walked around his desk to stand right in front of Sora.
"The Tiny Tyrant has been to many different circuses, and other places that would let her perform. She's always surpassed everyone at anything they can do. She goes from place to place, just to see if she can outdo everyone there. Now, she's made it here, to Kaleido Stage. With her skill, you expect me to believe that she couldn't perform a simple back flip?"
"Umm….," Sora had nothing. She couldn't tell Kalos the truth. She doubted he'd believe the truth anyway. Continuing the fib she'd started seemed like a logical way to get out of this.
"Well, you see, she wanted to show Fool and I what she can do. She was going to do a back flip off the stage and then go into another trick. When she was in mid-flip Mia ran in and startled her. And instead of landing on her feet she landed upside down and hit her head hard on the floor. When we got down there to her she was unconscious." Say he buys this! Say he buys this!
Kalos was still staring at Sora in disbelief. Then he came to a decision. "If she's unconscious I want proof. I'll be at your room in thirty minuets. There are a few things I have to take care of here. If Karai's really injured, then she's excused from any practices or performances for the next week." He stood and took a few steps toward the door. Then he stopped and turned to Sora. "If she's just sleeping and you're trying to get her out of work, Sora, then both of you are to leave Kaleido Stage. Understood?" Sora nodded nervously, and then ran out the door before Kalos could leave.
"I'll check on her boss!" Sora called behind her as she ran away from the office. She wanted to be as far away from Kalos as she could get. For some reason she just couldn't think up a good plausible lie around him.
That's all for Chapter 5!-It may be the shortest chapter in the entire story! Well, if you have any questions or comments, please send them to me.
