Cherry and Atticus's Tales from Canterlot High

chapter 2

"Let's take it from the top one more time," Rarity instructed. "Rainbow Dash, don't forget your cue. It's when Fluttershy does her triple pirouette, okay?"

"Rarity, can I take a break?" Cherry begged. "I've done about every exercise Atticus can do in five minutes!"

"You'll be fine, Cherry," Rarity replied. "And... Action!"

"Oi." Cherry sighed.

The music soon played and everyone danced to the beat. Patch soon watched to see how everything would play out. There was a bit of struggling for everyone.

"Yikes." Patch said.

"Cut!" Rarity cried out.

The music then suddenly stopped.

"Hey! What happened to the music?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"That was terrible." Patch said.

"Fluttershy, it's supposed to be a triple pirouette." Rarity reminded as Spike yawned.

"I know," Fluttershy trembled. "It's just that... Um... Uh, I-I don't think I can do one of those."

"It takes practice." Mo said.

"Why don't you try jazz paws?" Patch suggested.

"Those might work." Spike chuckled.

"Heh, thanks, guys, but these moves are pretty hard." Sunset said to the dogs.

"Maybe you all should do dance moves of your own?" Patch suggested.

"Cherry, why don't you show them what you can do?" Atticus asked.

"I'm not sure if it counts for a dance, but it's kinda unique." Cherry shrugged.

"Come on," Rainbow Dash said. "Show us."

Cherry shrugged as she then put on a fedora and soon did a professional moonwalk.

"Ooh." Most of the girls smiled.

"It's nothing special." Cherry rubbed her arm bashfully.

"That was awesome!" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"What? That? Nah..." Cherry shrugged.

"Yeah-huh." Atticus smiled.

Cherry shrugged, but she hid a small smile and shuffled her foot shyly, blushing since everyone actually liked what she did.

"And what about you, Mo?" Fluttershy asked the tomboy girl.

"I don't really know any dance moves to be honest." Mo replied.

"Oh, come now, darling; you must have a dancer inside you." Rarity said.

"Not really..." Mo looked away bashfully. "I just never found myself much into dancing."

"Oh, come now, darling," Rarity encouraged. "Just look inside yourself."

"Hmm...." Mo paused to think as she thought about when she was younger, she had a bit of a secret she never told anybody about, but she did know how to dance, but she never told anybody that she did or the kind of dance it was. She soon closed her eyes and let her feet do their own thing and where it looked like she was now doing ballet.

"Is that... Ballet...?" Cherry asked.

"Looks like that's her hidden talent." Atticus smiled.

Mo soon stopped herself.

"I didn't know you did ballet." Atticus said to his girlfriend.

"It's kind of a secret." Mo blushed.
