My little miracle

Chapter 3: denial

Machi brought out a empty plastic bottle and spun it using the old fashioned way to find out who was actually going first and luckily it landed on them which gave me the upper hand to see what type of dances and moves that seemed to wow everybody who came here to watch them dance.

"Let the show begin!" Machi said as he rolled the mic away from them before getting into formation allowing the music to come on as I carefully watched and plan my way through this challenge I put myself into for getting too close to the stage in the first place.

*I can't write face offs so we'll skip to the after math*

I some how managed to finish this without being spotted out as being Saeki or the dancing Queen some people call me but i felt like I was forgetting something very important whenever I am dancing like the real reason I keep on going forward no matter what gets in my way. I left them quite surprised from the way I danced and flowed to the rhythm of the music that played.

"Wow! You really are no joke kid!" Mia said as I pouted a bit offended for being called A child since I am 23 years old a young adult so what gives it away.

"Actually I'm 23, sorry to disappoint you guys" I said which was rather surprising but I can't help myself from looking young like my brothers but I was glad that they didn't realise the similarities in my steps but I guess I grew lucky thanks to my 3 year retirement plan due to my fear so I thought that they would've forgotten about my steps and the way I moved which made things so much easier.

"You look so much younger though, I guess it's just the genetics really" I was glad that they weren't able to suspect anything thanks to this disguise.

"Is she dance group material?" Machi asked to his leader leaving me rather clueless of how easy I was going to be for me to be apart of a group let alone this one but I don't know how it's going to work whenever my brothers come back from Spain. Anakin began to head towards me not really answering his teammates question but it made me rather nervous as he stopped in front of me.

"Would you like to be apart of our group? You've got the skills and determination. So are you in or are you out?" He asked holding his hand out for me to shake surprising myself on how quickly it was for me to be apart of a group let alone professionals but I didn't want to be with them I felt like it was too soon to do I kindly refused his kind offer. "I understand but whenever you change your mind let us know" he said before allowing me to get off from the stage and carry on with my day allowing myself to see places that I didn't get to see without a bodyguard by my side.

I know you guys just be thinking 'how could you miss on an opportunity like that!?' But really I didn't feel like being apart of a seriously good team just like that so it would be better if I start of by scrap with amateurs who really don't want to go live but I would do anything to make them feel free and high spirited on that stage when we stand up upon it.

A week had passed and I did what I thought I as right and found some interesting people to be apart of the group I was going to make just 2 people a girl and a boy in their teens really but they had the energy and determination to dance and have fun even though one of them was almost the same height as me for being 15 but height is just an number. During our practice session in one of the rooms in a empty ballet area where groups of different ages would go to dance with friends or for a school project making the perfect environment for us to grow stronger as a team.

The boy was rather short but his orange hair brought the flames and energy from his personality whenever he danced with the passion for hip-hop and as for the girl she was taller rather beautiful I can say with that long light green hair in a single ponytail and blue eyes as she loved nature and dance style she stuck with was Jazz something I too was familiar with but we needed 2 more people to make our group complete as I didn't like it below four and would be seen as a threat if I was seen hanging out with them like this in public so we practiced in private.

"Solana! When would we be able to start practicing for actual dance competitions like the others?" Ray asked being the curious small kid he was but I could tell that they were feeling ready for actually performances but I knew that we needed another member before we can actually start thinking about going out against other groups and whenever the street competition comes around staring next week where groups show off their skills live but if I can't find another member by then I would have no choice but to go with just the three of us and boy would that be fun!

"Soon I hope, but if I can't find another player then we would have to go into the competition like this, just the three of us" I said back with honesty since I would rather tell the truth than lie to my own comrades but they didn't get why I was so spooked about going out and always looking up over my head whenever we are in a place with pillars but I guess it's been awhile since everyone seen the accident that day which made my life change completely around.

"Is that why we are practicing right now? Readying for when we are left to only three of us" Briella wounded confident that she knew where I was getting and yes I didn't want these guys to get confused when the big time comes but I was glad that they were afraid to stand in front of crowds of people and dance giving them a show to remember like I did for years before untimely giving up on that dream until now.

"But I'm sure everything will be A-okay we just have to work together and let our moves do the talking!" I said trying to be inspirational to my new crew members who already seemed rather loyal and confident that they can reach far in life since the only reason we came together when they saw me privately performing in this very room and joined in just for fun and laughs which quickly made them think of actually being apart of my new team I told them I was trying to form and from then everything was going well but everyone knows that something bad happens when a good thing arrives in their lives.

"You truly are the best Solana!" Ray yelled with that big smile that doesn't fail to make me feel that feeling I felt along time ago with an old friend before lives changed for the better making me forget about them but there is no way I could forget that smile he gave me which erased all of the dark energy that once kept me trapped inside of my insecure cocoon.

"Thanks kid" I said back before sitting myself back down on the floor with a bottle of water in hand having a little break while the two continued to do their warm ups for another practice to see where we would have to work up on until my phone suddenly pinged making me pull it out seeing it from Shimamoto.

——————————————

Shimamoto: change in plans! We'll be arriving early so instead of next week it's tomorrow at last eat so I won't see you until the morning.

Saeki: great! But how did things go in Spain?

Shimamoto: the usual, paparazzis and fans but I was able to grab you something as an souvenir!

Saeki: really?

Shimamoto: yeah! But I need to go now so see ya, luv ya sis ❤️

Saeki: you too bro ❤️

————————————

I put my phone away finally being able to get back to the kids and continue on with the training again but what am I going to do when they get back and how am I supposed to be competing with them if they're back?! I need to think of something quick unless I change when I'm outside but how can I do that without them seeing me?

"Who's ready for another go?" I asked as the two looked at me which helped me realise that I too would need to do my stretches before continuing on unless I pull a important tissue somewhere that I would need for the dance so I decided to do my stretches like a normal adult would do.

"Don't what you to get hurt before the performance do we Saeki?" Briella said trying her best to not be worried about me and my health whenever I forget to do important exercises before we start practice in the afternoon whenever we meet up here. We continued to do this warm up and training for a few days but we didn't train every single day or we'll just be wearing ourselves out before our first performance on stage which would show how much of a bad leader I was got not caring for my team if I pushed them too hard so I allowed them to have some time after whenever we are dancing to make sure they won't pull anything before that day comes bye.
