A/N: Follow-up to "Fanservice". The recording being referenced to is Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring", with the 1913 choreography. The one that started the riot at its premiere.
Background: Kari is a dancer.
Nicole was fairly adamant about making Tai and Matt watch this particular recording she had brought with her.
"You guys made me watch that Gackt video," she stated, "so I'm making you watch this."
Matt crossed his arms. "Let me guess. Lesbians?"
"No," she answered flatly. "Besides, do you think I would have asked Kari if she wanted to watch it too if it was?"
Both boys turned and glanced at Kari, who seemed genuinely interested in what Nicole was planning to show. "Good point," Tai said, frowning. "So what is this anyway?"
"A ballet."
Tai looked highly unamused. "You're making us watch a ballet?"
"Yes. I am making you watch a ballet."
The boys groaned, while Kari sighed at them. "Well, shall we start then?" she asked, turning back towards the screen. "This looks really interesting."
Nicole started the video.
Roughly thirty minutes later, as the video ended, the four of them sat back and stared for a few moments.
"That was... not very ballet-like," Tai said dumbly. "It was like... stomping dance circle mixed with seizures... but I couldn't stop watching."
Kari nudged him. "You should watch more dance," she exclaimed. "I really liked it... powerful and chilling in the second half too. I could see this as modern dance, but knowing it's a ballet gives it this whole different atmosphere."
Matt nodded in agreement. "I thought it was pretty cool."
Nicole was just watching Tai quizzically. The other two turned towards him too.
"… I need to watch this again to figure out why you guys like it so much."
Nicole grinned at him. "Ballets about sacrificing a virginal maiden to the god of Spring not your thing, is it?"
