Ken watched from the sidelines as Sora performed on the Kids' Stage.
Her smile was free and wide, she practically glowed with untamed happiness. The lingering shadows of whatever had upset her last week and during the photo op could not be seen.
I wonder what managed to put that look on her face...

Sora jumped on the trampoline with glee.
She laughed out loud, taking in the the sun shining through the clouds. It was a little chilly, but performing kept her warm and happy.
Marion looked over at Sora when she heard her laugh.
The young girl recalled Mia's discussion with her and a goofy grin appeared on her face. Maybe she's thinking about Leon. Her little pigtails bounced as she jumped off of the trampoline to land on the bigger one in the center with Sora.
They grabbed each other's hands and did a simple flip.

From his spot in the back, even he could see how brightly she shined.
Something flickered in his eyes that was not desire or want. It was something softer, and he could not shake the feeling, especially at the end when she looked over at him and her smile to him seemed so personal; as if she was sharing a secret with him that only he would understand.
He realized then, that the feeling was more potent than anything he had ever felt.
His mouth, without thinking about it or considering the ramifications, cracked the smallest of smiles back to her.
He knew she saw it when the smile grew even bigger, if that was possible.

May was in a sour mood as she waited in line at the cafeteria.
She scooped up some random mush and then proceeded down the line to the sandwiches. With disinterest, she read the labels of the different types available.
"Hey May," called a voice behind her.
The Chinese acrobat turned around and saw two girls looking at her.
"What do you what?" she said.
"Were you downtown last week?"
"Yeah, what of it?"
The two girls squealed and then eagerly turned back to May.
"We thought we saw you! You were on a date with Mr. Leon!"
May was about to tell them to buzz off when an idea popped into her head. With a haughty tilt of her head and hip she said loudly, "Yeah I was. We're actually hoping to set another one up soon."
"You're so cool May!"
They did not see it, but her smile was full of malicious intent.
