Ken woke up feeling pretty great.
He combed his hair, put on a plaid button up shirt but made sure to leave the top ones undone so his white undershirt showed, and then he grabbed an apple for the road.
As he waited for his bus, a young woman walked over to the stop.
He grinned to himself and rolled up his sleeves.
The ladies liked seeing some arm.

His stop came and he got off.
Ken slipped Emma's phone number into his pocket and then took a bite out of his apple.
He'll call her the day after tomorrow.
As he walked onto the Kaleido Stage grounds, a few girls shyly called out to him. He put on his winning smile and gave them a nod back. The action caused them to giggle behind their hands.
Man, he loved working here.
He knew the ins and outs of this place and was familiar with the performers, though he knew some more than others.
He patted his shoulder bag where the old dating book Marion had given him two years ago was. If it weren't for that book, he wouldn't have the attention that he did now. The book solved his issues with dating and made him the love magnet he was today.
He spotted a trashcan nearby. He tossed his apple core like it was a basketball and when it landed inside, he heard a few girls dreamily sigh.
Yes, that book worked on every girl.
He strode over to the cafeteria, gave the older woman a smile and she let him in for free.
He was unstoppable, unbeatable! No one could resist his charms and smile!
His grin waned as he spotted a familiar red head getting in the food line. The book worked for all except one and he was looking straight at her.
Sora Naegino, the Kaleido Star of the stage had yet to fall for him.
He was certain that the book had not worked because she had been the first girl he tried it on. It was back before he had any confidence in himself, back when he had zero experience in dating and didn't know how the book worked.
That was then.
He was determined to succeed now.
Shaking off his slight gloom, he put his smile on and went over to her.
