After the ballet show rehearsal, Delphie took off her blue head band with three blue feathers on. She sat down on the stage and stretched her legs. Rosa ran to Delphie. "You were brilliant! You didn't get any thing wrong at all!" Rosa exclaimed, they lived together nut even so, Rosa loves to compliment Delphie on her wonderful dancing.
Madame Zavaroka's ballet class grade 3 was performing a show about how a sea nymph needs to know where a clump of golden sea weed is and a blue bird that is lost on the beach needs to find a golden feather. They get help from each other and while the two have gone, the sea creatures are very sad and the birds are very sad too. Then, when they both get back, the task succeeded, the animals(including the mammals now) all celebrate on the beach and the fish ballerina's stay in the water bit. It's a wonderful show.
Just as Delphie had stood up. Sukie dashed past, elbowing Delphie by accident making Delphie sprain her ankle badly. "Ow!" she cried. Delphie tumbled on to the floor. Pain flashed across her face. Sukie stared at Delphie, 'Why is she making such a fuss when I just pushed her by accident?' Sukie wandered. She walked off the stage to get her rabbit ears in case they got lost. 'The show was in a week so if she hurt her tummy by accident, Delphie would recover.'.
Rosa didn't just stand there, she ran off the stage to get Madame ZaZa. "What happened Delphie?" Madame ZaZa asked. Delphie didn't get a chance to answer. "Can you move your toes?" she asked. Delphie nodded sullenly. She flexed her toes easily without any pain, but when she tried to move her ankle, pain rushed through. Delphie gasped in pain. "It's just a sprain but you'll have to rest for 2 weeks."
"What about the show?!" Delphie cried.
"Sukie will have to play the bluebird." Madame ZaZa explained.
Delphie's eyes welled up with tears, she knew that Sukie would probably be grinning from ear to ear(Sukie wanted to play either the water nymph or the bluebird because they're the main characters) and she didn't have to look through her wobbly, watery eyesight now because of her tears to know!
At home, when the day after tomorrow would be the show, Delphie sat on the sofa watching Cinderella, cuddling her little dolly ballerina. "Rosa! Come watch this bit! I'd enjoy some company!" Delphie called out from downstairs to upstairs. Rosa walked down angrily. "I'm pretty sure Sukie did that on purpose!" she shouted. Delphie nodded sadly.
They watched Cinderella before the doorbell rang. "Is dad already home?!" Rosa asked, shocked, It was only three o'clock(Madame ZaZa let them have a day's rest)! "No. It's...Sukie, a friend." their mum called. They looked at each other in confusion when suddenly Sukie walked in.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to bump into you, it was an accident! I know you thought I did it on purpose and it was very kind of you to not tell Madame ZaZa the not-true-but-looks-like-it idea! I wish your ankle is alright!" Sukie blurted out, "I bought you this!". She opened the pink sparkly box and soft music floated out with a ballerina twirling around in the music box. "A music box!" Delphie cried in delight.
The ballerina twinkled and sparkles floated over to her. Cautiously, Delphie wriggled her ankle. "My foot," she began, "It's better!"
"Nice try Delphie! But the doctor said you need to rest for two weeks." Mrs Durrand confirmed.
"No! Look!" Delphie exclaimed. She stepped forward and spun around in a pirouette, then, she tiptoed out of the sofa-squashed area and sank into a deep curtsy.
The others watched in amazement except Delphie and Rosa with a knowing smile dancing and playing around on their lips. "It's a miracle!" Mrs Durrand and Sukie chorused in perfect unison. "No, not a miracle. Ballet magic!" Delphie and Rosa whispered to each other. They smiled.
