The newbies and veterans alike were in the big practice dance room waiting for Kalos.

The owner of the stage had an announcement to make before everyone went about their day.

Off to the side, Sora had a leg up on the ballet beam and was stretching herself out. She leaned her upper body slowly to the right with her arm curving over her head and then switched arms to stretch the other side.

Ken happened to look over when she was arching backwards with her palms on the floor and both feet along the beam. Unknowingly or not caring, the motion made her loose practice shirt slide down in little increments.

He swallowed a little hard as the tanned skin of her belly was revealed in a slow tease.

How could I have messed up?!

The skills he learned from the book did not help him in the cafeteria this morning. His lips were a thin line. He had seen it work on so many others.

Maybe, just maybe it wasn't the book that failed to help.

It had to be something else. Some other factor in the 'Winning Sora' equation had been done incorrectly; he just needed to backtrack and fix his mistake.

The doors opened, Ken looked to see if it was Kalos.

There was a crowd of teens in front of him so he couldn't see, but by the way a few girls actually went weak in the knees, the dance instructor actually swooning-if the sudden disappearance of the man's tall pink hair near the front of the room was any indication-Ken took it that it was not Kalos. There was only one other man at the stage that made Ken feel a little less happy to be working here, seeing as the power of his charms and smile were made null and void by the other man's mere presence.

There was the movement of silver.

Some more heads in the crowd vanished from Ken's view and he heard the light thuds of their bodies hitting the floor as they lost consciousness by the overload of worship that overcame them from the simple motion of the newcomer walking.

Yes, Ken knew that Leon was now in the room.
