The weekend came faster than Sora had wanted it to.
She had gotten back from waitressing late Thursday night and then woke up early to get a new batch of toys for the morning shows. Friday was a lot busier than the previous day, especially the late afternoon to night showings. The schools apparently made Friday a half day, so the Kids' Stage performances were packed.
From beneath the blankets, a tired groan came out as her alarm went off.
Blindly, her hand reached for her cell phone on the bedside table. Unfortunately, she only managed to knock the device off of the table and thud onto the floor—thankfully a carpeted floor.
"Fiddlesticks…" she grumbled.
Her head finally poked out as her upper body leaned over to grab the phone. She turned off the alarm and promptly dropped her head back onto the pillow. Her mind registered that it was Saturday, meaning that there was still Sunday to come for the weekend load of performances.
Her hands tiredly rubbed her face and then lightly slapped her cheeks.
"Wake up-wake up. There's much to do."

Before the mid-morning show, Leon was on the ice warming up.
He glided in a lazy pattern of slow, slow, and then quick skates for a buildup of speed, then the return of the slow languid motions along the chilled surface. He turned around; skating backwards and idly took in the winding twin paths his blades created.
He was pensive this weekend, as well as frustrated.
The doors to the stage creaked, signaling May's arrival. With a quick turn, his body was back to skating forward.

May tied on her skates as she half watched Leon on the ice.
His long silver hair streamed behind him and she thought about how good he looked with the dark practice clothes and the contrasting light hair. She patted herself on the back for having asked him out Thursday.
Took me long enough.
While the actual dinner was rather quiet and Leon constantly looking out the window seeing who knows what, it was a start. She thought it had been peculiar that he had asked for a front window table, having pegged him as a dark corner booth sort of guy, but in hindsight, there was a lot she didn't know about the guy.
He was the silent mystery; enigmatic and full of secrets.
Has a nice ring to it.
She grinned at her description of him. The aloofness drew her in like crazy, aside from the good looks, and the idea that she could potentially get close to him threw her mind in a tizzy.
He had chosen her as a partner; he didn't cut out scenes of her performance unlike a certain redheaded dummy's. Her eyes were extremely smug. No, Leon kept all of her scenes.
He wants me around.
That was a huge difference between Sora and her.
