"Gromit's probably going to be late again." said Ms.Cherry. It's still raining. "I will get started with the BV6000 and you go off to dance so the work is split for cleaning out the mud from the BV6000." said Wallace. *Gromit nods his head and starts to sprint through the rain to get under the awning* *His paws are all muddy and tracked mud and water inside the studio* *Ms.Cherry comes out into the waiting room to greet Gromit but got greeted by this* "Hey Grom-" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit shakes all the rainwater off of him and splashed Ms.Cherry in water* *Ms.Cherry growls at Gromit* *Gromit gets a bit startled by Ms.Cherry's growl* "I would never be mad at you Gromit... the water made me cold that's all." said Ms.Cherry. "Place on your tap paws." said Ms.Cherry to Gromit. *Gromit places on his tap paws and starts to learn more front essence step* "Remember to shuffle to the front then shuffle hop to the side then two flaps then a ball change!" said Ms.Cherry. *Ms.Cherry slows down the front essence music as slow as she can* "You guys did OKAY!" remarking Ms.Cherry. "Now let's try and do our tap warm ups from the barre out inside the center." said Ms.Cherry. "So left arm is down but strong but place your left paw flat then the right arm above your heads!" said Ms.Cherry. *She plays the tap warm up music and it's very slow from the front essence step. She places the pitch back to normal* *None of the students do it* "Fine... go to the barre." said Ms.Cherry. *They go to the barre* "Remember to keep your supporting leg straight!" meowed Ms.Cherry. "Very good today!!" mewed Ms.Cherry. *Ms.Cherry pulls Gromit to the side to speak with him* "You guys can go!" said Ms.Cherry dismissing the others. "Gromit you did very well today but you need to start improving on your behavior with the others. Just please don't fight the others..." said Ms.Cherry. "You may go Gromit." said Ms.Cherry. *She pets Gromit then walks away from him* *Next Saturday morning* *Gromit wakes up very early* "It's 6am right now... I'm trying hard not to make a lot of noise." Gromit said to himself. *He tries to sneak food to eat but gets caught* "Gromit... put the food back... you can eat inside the morning. It is only 6 in the morning." said Wallace. *Gromit places the food back and goes back to bed* *He sleeps for a little while longer then wakes up again at the correct time* *Gromit gets dropped off at dance very tired* "Good morning Gromit." said Ms.Cherry. "I know we're all tired! But we have to get through the lesson!" said Ms.Cherry. "Ballet paws! Then go to the barre!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *Ms.Cherry plays music for stretching* *She walks over to the CD player and places in a new CD and goes to the right track for the new move* *Nobody does it* *New music plays* *Ms.Cherry does the step to make sure it's the right music but she confuses everybody* *New music ends* "Okay 4 people go to the circle then move away from the star you were standing on!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Now, get in fifth position with your arms in low five." said Ms.Cherry. "Now, from fifth position to fourth position! We slide our foot that was in front for 5th position which is chasse." said Ms.Cherry. *Ms.Cherry goes over to Gromit and fixes his 4th position* *Gromit slips* *Ms.Cherry catches him* "How about this Gromit. You and Fluffles can stay after to work on the move. I will speak to your master about this." said Ms.Cherry. "Bye guys! See you next Saturday!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit points to his master then points to the building* *His master comes* "Hey!" said Ms.Cherry. "Hey.." said Wallace. "So Gromit is going to stay after for a private lesson today." said Ms.Cherry. "That's fine." said Wallace. *Gromit goes back on a star and so does Ms.Cherry* "Hold onto me for balance." said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit holds onto Ms.Cherry* "This is FOURTH position. We don't use this position much." instructed Ms.Cherry. "Go to 5th position and then slide the paw that you have in front!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit slides his paw to 4th position* "From there we jump and coupe the same foot we used to slide out into 4th position." said Ms.Cherry. "Then the paw that is in coupe slide it out again and then JUMP into 3rd arabesque!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit does the step* "Good! Do it 3 more times then we can go around the stars!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit lets go of her to do the step he practicing* "Yes! Yes! Yes!" said Ms.Cherry. "Very good! Now try moving around the stars at your own pace for the step!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Gromit starts to lose balance in 4th position and almost falls on his face. "Regain control of your body Gromit. Just focus on the step." said Ms.Cherry. Gromit regains his strength to keep balanced. "Yes! Very good! Let's try it with music! Let's listen first." said Ms.Cherry. *She presses play on the music player* *The music starts* "Chasse, coupe, chasse, 3rd arabesque!" said Ms.Cherry who says the steps along with the music. *The music ends but it's placed on loop* *Ms.Cherry goes in front of Gromit* "Follow my lead." said Ms.Cherry. "Chasse, coupe, chasse, 3rd arabesque!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *She jumps out from in front of Gromit so he can do the move without her in front of him* *Gromit does the step on his own* *The music ends* *Gromit's paws start to hurt* "Bow!!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit moves up to the front colored numbers to do the bow* *Music starts* *Both of them does the bow* *The bow music ends* *The after class ends and the two walk out to the van* *Yowls and hissing is heard outside* *Gromit flings into the battle showing his battle moves* *Two cats get on his back and takes him down and other cats start slicing at him* *Ms.Cherry runs out and sees Gromit getting clawed and blood all over him* *She gets into the battle* *Slices 4 cats* *Gromit gets back up to help Ms.Cherry* *He slices some of the cats* *Blood goes everywhere* *5 small bodies go limp and are left to rot* "SHADOWCLAN!! RETREAT!!!" shouted Stonetooth the ShadowClan deputy. *The other ShadowClan warriors and apprentices all flee* *Gromit breathes heavily* *Ms.Cherry looks down at the bloodshed* "Those ShadowClan cats... Always causes trouble..." said Ms.Cherry. "Remark our boundaries..." said Ms.Cherry who starts to lick her battle wounds. *Gromit receives his first scar* *He starts to leave his own scent* *At ShadowClan's camp* "Brokenstar! That was a horrible idea! 5 kits died in battle!!" said Stonetooth. "No!! Stop letting kits train Brokenstar! They are not even 6 moons old yet!" said Yellowfang the medicine cat. "Yellowfang, you are our medicine cat... not leader. What I say goes. Go treat the wounded..." said Brokenstar very mean and firm. "First, you move the elder cats to the edge of our territory... now your training KITS!" shouted Yellowfang. "ShadowClan! Meet under ClanRock for a meeting!" called out Brokenstar. "Yellowfang is now punished! She is now banned from ShadowClan!!!" meowed Brokenstar. "What?!" said Yellowfang in shock. *She gets chased out of the territory by her own clan mates* *She runs through the forest* *She ends back up at the studio* *Gromit turns his head and growls* "No!! Don't attack the cat!" said Ms.Cherry who runs over to Yellowfang. "She's injured..." said Ms.Cherry. *Yellowfang bolts away before Ms.Cherry could pick her up* *Next Saturday* "Hey guys!! We are going to be starting our dances!" exclaimed Ms.Cherry. *Next Saturday* *Ms.Cherry has a tumbling class before Gromit's small class* *The door is opened* "Jump back 4 times!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "One! Two! Three! Four!" said Ms.Cherry who does the easy steps with them. "Now, we're going to kind of do a push up. But after we go back 4 times we go down, then we slide back, slide our legs to our chest and then jump up with our paws above us to reach the stars!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *Gromit knocks on the door slightly* "Hey Gromit!!" said Ms.Cherry. "Come help this class since you know how to do this step!" said Ms.Cherry. *Gromit goes inside the studio and places on his tap paws* "So, I'm going to do it wrong and Gromit here will do it correctly! After we are done doing the same step you guys were doing you have to walk to either me or Gromit for the correct form for the step!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *She does the step very wrong and she jumps up after she places her face on the floor* *Gromit does the step right* "Choose!!" said Ms.Cherry. *7 kittens go to Gromit and 3 kittens go to Ms.Cherry. "Do you guys want to see my next class tap dance?" asked Ms.Cherry. "YEAH!!!" shouted the little kittens who sit down. *Meowy's class comes in with their tap paws and grabs their props* *They all line up holding their props* *Ms.Cherry presses play on the music* *The music starts* "March!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *They all march forward* "Now turn and march in place!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Now turn again!" said Ms.Cherry. *They face each other to swap props* *They face back towards the little kittens* "Remember this step!" instructed Ms.Cherry. *Some cats walk backwards and forwards into the circle* *Meowy and the others catch their props* *They walk out of the circle* *Ms.Cherry quickly grabs one of the same props to do the step* "Shuffle shuffle heel heel!" said Ms.Cherry who does the step with them. *They do the step correctly* "Back into the line!!" instructed Ms.Cherry. "Down!" said Ms.Cherry. *Meowy flips her prop to do the ending* *Some place their props down on the side and some hold it up* *The music ends* *The little kittens clap* After the little kittens class an advanced class comes in. Next Saturday. The studio's door is closed and has different playing music. "Guys! Make sure to step one two three four pull back pull back shuffle hop step!" said Ms.Cherry reminding her class. "Okay, now do it on your own!" said Ms.Cherry. She presses play on the music player and the music plays. "First group! Then second! Then third!" exclaimed Ms.Cherry. Everybody does flap scoot, flap scoot, and then scoots on both paws. They repeat it and shuffles with ball changes to get to their other spots. "Hop shuffle step stomp, shuffle drop four times, hop, hop, shuffle, step, stomp, hop, shuffle, step, stomp, stomp! Pull back and ball change! Flap heel, flap heel, now both! Shuffle hop paw! Shuffle hop cross twice and then repeat for the other side now step turn! Now flaps very fast and then ball changes too! First group, second group, third group, and fourth group!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Wallace and Gromit watch from the small window and sees how fast it is. The kitties stop as that is all they know. "Good job guys! Alright you guys may go as it's WAY overtime!" exclaimed Ms.Cherry. A cat with an orange pelt comes out all tired and sits next to the duo and gets startled by them when she accidentally hits Wallace. "Oh my god! I'm so sorry!" exclaimed the strange cat. "It's fine! Also me and my dog Gromit were watching your class as they were dancing because he has a class next after you!" exclaimed Wallace to the strange cat. "Oh..! Thanks! My name is Firestar by the way but you can just call me Fire... uh...what's your name..?" questioned Firestar. "Mine is Wallace and this is Gromit." said Wallace introducing him and Gromit to Firestar. "Do you guys wanna be friends or something...?" asked Firestar. "We're always looking for new friends Firestar!" exclaimed Wallace. "Oh! Gotta fly guys! Cya later! Bye Ms.Cherry!" exclaimed Firestar who rushes out the door. "Bye Firestar!" said Ms.Cherry. Gromit's class walks in. "So We are going to skip out and do step touch on right and step touch on left." instructed Ms.Cherry. "So come to this side of the studio where I am!" said Ms.Cherry. Gromit goes first in the small line. Ms.Cherry presses play on the music and the music starts. Gromit and the others skip out to their spots and slides to the right twice and touches his pointed paw and does the same for his left pointed paw. After weeks and weeks of practicing the time has came to the ending "pose." "Now come back up then do two curtsies! Then wag your tails! Then skip off!!" instructed Ms.Cherry. Gromit does two curtsies, wags his tail, then skips off his number to where Ms.Cherry is at. "Good job!" exclaimed Ms.Cherry. Gromit howls in excitement. Ms.Cherry sees Gromit's master and taps on the glass to get his attention and successfully gets his attention. She points to Gromit's class and opens the door and allows him in. "Sit here." said Ms.Cherry who pulls out a chair for Wallace to sit and watch Gromit. The music turns on. Gromit skips out to his spot and looks to Ms.Cherry for some guidance. He does slides to the right twice, points his paw, and touches it. He does the same for left. He presses up and does a spin. The students go in between each other with a line forming as they walk to the white numbers. Gromit presses up and back on flat paws twice while he places his paws in first arabesque for their hard move and spins around. They tip paw back up to the coloured numbers. Gromit curtsies twice, wags his tail, and he skips off to where Ms.Cherry is at. Ms.Cherry and Wallace clap at how well they have done. "Gromit! You did so well!" exclaimed Wallace. Firestar is outside just listening to Gromit's ballet song. Next is Rock n' Rolling Pups. "You can do it lad... I believe in you." replied Wallace. Gromit and the others walk out to their spots in their tap paws they get in their starting position known as the boogie woogie for their starting move. The music plays. "Rock n. Roll is here to stay..." barked Gromit. He claps his paws and points to the mirrors."You better believe it. Rock n' Roll won't go away... You better believe it. In case not here it's all about you see it now on every show, people just want to just let go...." barked Gromit again. "You better believe it!" barked Gromit. He starts to slide touch left and right, jump out and jump in and the boogie woogie. After he danced for a while, he bows and skips off stage.
