When May came into the main building, she didn't run into Sora.

That alone made the acrobat feel better, especially after last night when Leon had hightailed it out of the stage faster than she could change and ask him out.

Was he that annoyed with the autographing?

She hadn't really seen annoyance on his face during it, but the man did have a very strong blank mask. She couldn't really tell what he was thinking about sometimes.

More like most of the time.

She opened the door to the stage and found Leon skating around. She called out to him and he gave a half nod to her. Her brows furrowed.

Is it just me or does he look like he's…distracted?

She shrugged and then plopped down in order to lace up her skates. "So Leon, you left pretty fast yesterday. Did you have some dire thing to do or something?"

The question stayed unanswered.

Her lips pursed as she deftly tied off her last skate. With an inward sigh, she got up and slipped through the opening in the divider to get on the ice. She skated about, noticing that the ice wasn't as smooth as it should be.

Did he come here early again?

With growing anger, she took in all of the lines on the ice.

She was here again!

Her body shook with the force of her jealousy. Piercing blue eyes drilled a hole into Leon's moving form, but the stoic man didn't turn around to face her.

Weren't they partners? Hadn't he chosen her instead of the half-baked redhead?

What about all those moments on the ice during our performances? Those couldn't have only been an act!

Her mind was in a whirlwind of confusion, hurt, and a smidgen of wrath. The last emotion began to grow and bring out other emotions, ultimately filling her mind with revenge.

It's her fault, she reasoned within this mess of her mind.

She'd have to deal with Sora first before getting to Leon.

Meanwhile, long twin pigtails swooshed as the figure fast walked across the Kaleido property.

Did I see that right?

Surely her perky, sweet friend hadn't just jumped onto Leon as they heatedly made out on the ice during her practice time and then they had proceeded to laugh together…

A strange noise began to escape her, but she quickly covered her hand over her mouth.

This is waaay too much to keep in!

She knew, judging by the way Sora had told her to keep quiet about the kiss with Ken, that her friend wouldn't appreciate it if she let the cat out of the bag and blabbed to anyone and everyone about the make out session she just saw her participating in with Leon the tall, enigmatic, stoic, sexy leading male of the Kaleido Stage…

How can I be expected to keep this in?!

She quickly changed directions and headed over to the pool area. The cute barkings of Jonathan let her know that she was close and the cute laughter of a young girl let her know that Marion was there as well.

"Come on Jonathan! Jump through!"

Marion cheered as her seal friend managed to pass through the hoop.

"Very good!" She tossed him a treat which he caught.

The scuffing of shoes made the young girl turn around. She tilted her head as she took in how hard Mia was biting her lips closed. Sagely, the girl sat back on her heels as she recognized the look on the orange head's face.

"So what piece of gossip did you run into this time?"
