Quite the Contrary ((William))

Kori smirked; "You forget, Mr. Sanetta, my mother was a prima ballerina. One of the best. I learned from her. What makes you think my performance will be poor?" She smiled and stood up. She warmed up to the music that was starting to pump through the speakers, and then switched her shoes. She put on her pointe shoes and winced at the slight pain. Madame Christine emerged from the room Kori had, moment's before. She had bright hair that wasn't exactly red, but not exactly blond, and she wore jeans and a dance t-shirt with her toe shoes. Kori smirked at her teacher's outfit. Kori was more precise about what she wore than Madame was. But then again- Kori was raised by Julia Williams.

Kori made her way to the front of the classroom. She grabbed the bar and stretched. Madame walked over to her and smiled; "Ready?" Kori nodded. Madame clapped her hands, and little kids emerged from the same room. Kori walked over to them, stood on her pointe- and they copied her.

"OK...you know the drill...Kori says, pirouettes!" Kori did three quick 360 degree turns and watched out of the corner of her eye as the little girls tried. Madame went around and pointed out mistakes, and helped with some. Kori loved her class. She stopped twirling, as did the rest of the ballerina's. Kori put a finger to her chin, "Kori says...degage!" She brushed her working leg against her foot against the floor to a slightly raised, pointed position and then closed. It was a basic step. The little girls copied. Kori smiled before thinking up the next move.

"Kori says...demi plies!" She didn't have to do that move, the girls knew that one like nothing else. Kori watched with satisfaction as they finished. She let her eyes wander to Will, and she raised her eyebrow...Kori smirked; "OK...break, then back. Run along, practice bar." She shooed them toward the back room and walked back to Will...

"Did I forget to mention I teach, and not take part?"

"Family heritage has nothing to do with it, I believe. It just boosts your courage." Will replied with a quick smile. He knew how that could go. Someone was inspired by another and they could do majestic things. He smiled, wondering if his family had ever ridden horses. He then leaned back and tried to concentrate on what Kori was doing. The first suprise came when the Madame stepped into the spotlight. She didn't wear as well as Kori did and she looked to be a helper not a leader. Will frowned before looking around. No other teachers were here. Kori, it looked, was the oldest girl there, not counting the Madame. His frowned deepened but soon turned into a bright smile as he saw Kori up front. She was the teacher. He took it all in quickly like a thirsty man offered a drink. Then they had a break and Kori came over to Will. He smirked at her.

"Of course I knew. Didn't I tell you that I know everything?" he countered with a smile reforming his lips. This really was fun. He stood up and turned to Kori, smiling widely. "Would you like to do a deal with me? How about you teach me these....moves and I'll teach you...how to....ride!" he smiled before reaching out his hand. "Deal?" he asked, his eyes over-bright. He knew that he would look like a complete lunatic attempting to do what these little girls' did but he was in the mood for something absolutely crazy.

((I'm so sorry it took so long to reply and it's so short. My family took us to Six Flags and I came back with absolutely no inspiration. I tried my best...))

((No worries, it was good, I'm afraid I'm running low on inspiration as well...school started and it's drained me...I hate school...))

Kori tilted her head to the right a ways, thinking the offer over and she slowly nodded her head- "You sure you wanna learn ballet though? I mean, it's not something you can just learn...it takes years and years of practice...there's many other things I could help you with, I'm just not too sure what that happens to be." Kori laughed at herself and looked down at her hands which were resting in her lap. She rarely ever got out, ever. And here she was making a deal with someone she knew but just recently met, and she didn't know exactly what the deal was for.

Kori sighed and tucked some hair behind her ear; "I mean, if you want to learn ballet, far be it from me to stop you're inner desires- it could be quite entertaining to see you prance around on your tip toes and complain of the pain. But I think there could be something much more suited for you to do..." She smiled at him teasingly and shrugged.

"So what can't you do? Maybe that will give me some idea as to what I could make the deal with. But, I will take you up on that lesson to ride. Horses- well- they scare me, I've been on them once; and it bolted. I almost fell off and this was when I was 7. So can you blame me for my fear?"
