The Fairy Doll Ballet (4)

Chapter 12: A Long Break

Soon we were in the intermission or break. At first, we talked about the ballet and our favorite parts. However, after five minutes, we were thoroughly bored. The intermission was twenty minutes long so we went out to use the bathroom and take a stretch hoping that when we came back, the intermission would be over. Unfortunately, our plan didn’t work and we were out for only two minutes. We sighed. Clearly, the world didn’t like us at the moment. We went back to our seats once again and waited. We began to bounce in our chair, hum, tap our feet, strum our fingers along the armrest and look here and there. Every minute, I would check my watch to see if the intermission was over and each time, I was disappointed. Luckily, just before we were about to blow, the stage lit up and the curtains rose.

Chapter 13: Hey, It’s Her Again

In Act Two, the Fairy Doll woke up all the dolls with her magic and at once, the dolls began to laugh and dance. The dolls were all in harmony when they danced. First, the Bunnies danced then the Dolls and Soldiers, the Dolls with Balloons and the Japanese Dolls. Soon the Chinese Doll dance was up and once again, we saw Erin. It wasn’t quite as big as a shock but when she danced, everyone was blown away. The audience stared at Erin the entire time and had to use a lot of will and force to wrench their eyes away from Erin and to the other dancers who tried to attract attention by putting on their most pleasing smiles. In many occasions, the audience would applaud and cheer. The lighting turned on Erin, which made her stand out even more. She always did moves that no one thought was possible for her age. When she spun everyone gasped and when she leaped, everyone oohed and aahed. Erin was the spotlight. We waved and did a thumb us showing her that she was doing an amazing job. She smiled even wider as if she saw us and thanked us for complementing her. The audience stared in amazement until the dance ended. The audience still stared at Erin when she gracefully bowed and pranced of the stage.

Chapter 14: Pas Du Trois

After, the Spanish Dolls, Polish Dolls and The Russian Dolls danced and laughed until the Fairy Doll came out once again with two male mimes trailing after her. It was the Pas Du Trois dance or Not Three dance. The Fairy Doll was minding her own business when one of the mimes asked her to dance. They spun around and hugged each other. The Fairy Doll looked as if she was having a great time. The second mime was jealous and grabbed the Fairy Doll from the other mime who was about to spin again. He then danced with her. The two mimes kept fighting back and forth and they tried to attract the Fairy Doll’s attention. They started to pull her closer and pushed each other away. The Fairy Doll began to wobble and she tried to get away from the mimes’ grasps but they kept pulling and pushing. Annoyed, the Fairy Doll shook her hands free and left. The mimes stared after her and then met each other’s eyes and their brows knit together.

The first mime began to jump and do splits in midair. He spun 20 circles and ended in the spits. Everyone gasped and applauded but the other mime just yawned and pointed at himself. I can do better that meant. He also jumped and did the splits in the air 5 times more than the other mime did. After, he did a handstand and ended in a bridge. The audience cheered even louder this time but the first mime laughed and did moves even more complicated. The two mimes kept going back and forth doing moves better and more complicated than the other. Each time they became angrier and the stage grew tenser.  Soon they were arguing. One of the mimes pointed to the other mime and pointed to the door, which the Fairy Doll had left. The mime meant: It’s your fault that the Fairy Doll left. The other mime shook his head and did the same gesture. After a few minutes, they began to fight. They pushed and kicked each other and right before the fight would become out of control, the Fairy Doll came out once again.

At once, the mimes composed themselves and smiled at the Fairy Doll. One of the mimes outstretched his arms and invited the Fairy Doll to a dance. The Fairy Doll accepted leaving the other mime heartbroken. The mime dancing with the Fairy Doll pointed to his cheeks. Kiss me he meant. The Fairy Doll flicked her hand in disgust and walked to the other mime. The mime looked away ashamed and the second one began laughing and pointing to the first mime. He quickly composed himself when the Fairy Doll turned to him. She smiled and walked closer. The mime gloated and stretched out his arms. The Fairy Doll walked closer on her toes and just before she reached the hands on the mimes, she shook her head. The Fairy Doll turned and walked to the other mime who was trying to hold his laughter.  She smiled warmly before shaking her head again. Sorry, I’m not interested in you she told the two mimes. She stood in between the mimes before placing her fingers to her cheeks. The Fairy Doll asked Farewell kiss? The two men ran to her and just before they reached her, she stepped back leaving the two men crashing into each other. Just then, the assistant woke up to see all the dolls dancing and he too, began to dance. The audience clapped for the last time before the curtains fell.   

Chapter 15: Back At Home

We finally arrived home after the exhausting day. We began to discuss our favorite parts when my mother came in.

“I told you that ballet would be fun," my mother said triumphantly while trying not to put on her I won the bet and you didn’t face.

We reluctantly nodded our heads while scowling at my mother. She gave another of her triumph laugh before going to the washroom and wiping off all her makeup. My father also came in avoiding my mother who would probably ask him if he liked the ballet. He told us to go to bed before turning on the computer again. Some things just never change. When we were finally under the covers, we fell in a deep sleep while dreaming about dancing dolls.
