Circus Art【VOCALOID】

Backstage

Ia/Aria's POV

We practiced for two hours and a half now. The dance we were preparing was going pretty well. It was a mix of ballet and acrobatic.

"I think we can take a break." I sat down on the ground. I grabbed a towel close by me and whipped my brow.

"Are we supposed to get the costumes now?"
"Um... Yeah." I stayed on the ground, not moving a single inch.

"Aare you coming?" Asked Len starring at me.

"Mm...No, you will be fine on your own." I smile innocently, twirling a strand of my hair in between two fingers.

"Okey!" He sat down next to me and asked.
"Are you being lazy?"
"If I was lazy I wouldn't be practicing this dance with you." I avoided his gaze.

"Then, what... are you afraid of the city or something?" He said in a sarcastic voice.
"I-uh-well. You see-." I tried to say. I'm a horrible lier.
"Don't worry about it, we'll go as fast as possible and then come back here, okey? There isn't anything to be afraid of."

"Do I have to?" I whined.

"Yup!" He affirmed me.

"Pfffftttttt...fine!" I pouted, frowning.

"Get ready, we meet at the entrance way in ten minutes!" He ordered.

"Are you ready?"

"Yes." I forced a smile.

"Then let's go!"

To get to Melrose, we only had to walk about five minutes, the circus was parked close to the city.

"I grabbed a map and asked Gumi if she knew any tailoring shops. There's one on 7th street Greenwich." He started explaining as he unfolded the crumbled up map.

We walked together through the streets of the Scottish city, the smell of horses and smoke peppered through the streets.

People started to stare at me, with a strange look in they're eye. I hid behind Len's back.
"W-what are you doing?!" He loudly whispered.
"Every one is looking at me funny, it's really uncomfterable." I pouted, my cheeks turning brighter than red.

"Uh, o...key. I think I know the reason they're looking at you like that." Chuckling, he said.

"Whyyyy?" I whispered back.

"It's your dress, all the women here are wearing long dresses." He kept on giggling.

"So, what if my dress is short. It's not like I can buy a ridiculously expensive, customized, designer dress..."

"Well, people aren't quite familiar with this sight."

"Am I strange?"

"No, no. There isn't anything wrong with you." His words sounded true, so I believed him.
We kept silent for the rest of the way. I hid behind Len the hole time, until we arrived at the Taylor shop.
