Dancers and Swans

Plot
When Delancey Dancer and Duchess Swan receive two assignments both due the same day, they seek help from each other, and along the way some secrets are revealed.

Chapter One
Duchess Swan was pacing the empty hallway late one afternoon. Classes were over, her homework was done, there was nothing for her to do. So she had plenty of time to panic over the two assignments she had received that day.

One was no big deal. A dancing recital, for her ballet class, in two weeks The dance she was supposed to perform was easy at some points and just the tiniest bit challenging at others, but she knew she could pull it off.

The other one, also due in two weeks, was the one causing her to pace. Piano playing, from Princessology. She never even sat at a piano her whole life. She has no idea how to even begin playing, and she was sure she wasn't going to figure it out in two weeks.

Duchess passed the empty Ballet Classroom and at first wasn't going to give it a second glance. But then she heard a thumping noise and an "Ouch" from behind the door. Curiosity got the better of her and she opened the door.

There was a girl. A girl she sort of recognized from some of her classes, Muse-ic, Dancing, and Princessology, but she wasn't sure of her name.

The girl was wearing a grey skirt and a white tanktop, along with black dancing slippers. Her raven colored hair was pulled into a bun and it was plain to see she was attempting the routine for the recital. And failing at it.

Duchess found it slightly humorous, seeing her attempt a piourette and end up landing on her butt. The girl finally let out an annoyed groan, before stalking over the piano in the corner.

She played a hauntingly sweet melody. It started out deep and stormy, before fading to a gentle, calming tune. Duchess's mouth dropped open in awe. She never heard someone play like that before.

Without thinking she began to clap, alerting the girl of her presence.
