<span style="font-weight: bold">"On monday, System Scans will begin for schools Icarus Middle, Horiuchi Arts and Zassou Academy."</span>Stella winces when she hears the news over the loud speakers outside the park, but doesn't break from performing her routine. Recital is next week, and she wants her solo routine to be absolutely perfect. It's one of the few times that she'll actually be involving water in her dance. She turns, water forming two long glittering ribbons around her.  She wips her head around at the last second, keeping herself from getting dizzy. She smiles. This is her favorite part of this routine that looks even better when put to the actual music: she manipulates the water to look like wings as she ends with move called the dying swan. She kneels down on one knee, bringing her right arm in front of her first before crossing adding the other arm slightly above it. She bows her head and freezes the water into solid ice to signify the end of the routine.<br/><br/>Zane puts the finishing touches with a blue pen to his sketch of Stella with working the water. The dying swan was such an interesting pose to draw. He loved adding the details of the feathers. He looks up to see her matching the pose he had inked on the paper. He could finally talk to his sister again as she flops on the ground.<br/><br/>"Are you ready to head home yet Star," he asks casually, already storing his sketch pad away in his book bag.<br/><br/>Stella sighs. "You aren't going to quit hounding me till i say yes, so we might as well go."  She jack knifes to her feet, turning so her brother could dust her off using a gentle gust of air.  She lets the ice go back to water, dropping it in the grass as they head for entrance to the park.
