Later as it was getting darker, the teenagers were getting ready for The Jewel-Bilee regardless of what was going on with Mal and Evie. There were a lot of pictures taken as everyone was dressed in their Sunday best while a big majority of adults were going to the dance school for a special evening for the younger girls of Storybrooke who wouldn't participate in The Jewel-Bilee yet. Many of the adults chattered together until they soon shushed each other while sitting as the dance recital got ready to begin. Many of the girls peeked out the curtains and looked out into the audience to see their parents and guardians who attended the show just to see their little dancers in action.
"There's my granddaddy!" Olga pointed out happily.
"There's my daddy!" Justine added as she also saw her father.
"There's my daddy too and he looks so proud of me and my very special and elegant Hans Christian Dior tutu!" Duchess added rather boastfully.
Dee Dee poked her head out as she began to look nervous and insecure that she couldn't see a certain person in the crowd. "...Papa Leroy?" she then asked weakly.
"Her daddy couldn't make it~" Olga smirked tauntingly to Justine, Macy, and Duchess who smirked back.
Dee Dee sighed and pouted before she decided to try to keep her chin up despite what had happened to her. She tried to remember what Mama Nova taught her about trying not to let small things bring her down and to just carry on and be her best person. It was a bit harder though with the snickers heard from Olga, Duchess, Macy, and Justine.
"Are you sure we came at the right night?" Henry asked as he looked at Regina. "Nothing's happening."
"It's all right, Henry. Shows always start late." Regina reassured her adoptive son.
"Not this late, I imagine." Cora snorted slightly.
"Mother..." Regina whispered firmly.
But before the show would begin, there would be a quick word from a certain blonde woman. "Ahem!" she then cleared her throat.
This prompted someone high above the stage to move the spotlight to shine down on the woman so that the audience would quiet down as the show was about to start.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and welcome to The Red Shoes' Dance School for Ms. Odette's class's Dance Recital," Odette began as she had people's attention while reading from a card of what to say to the crowd. "We kindly ask that you turn off all cell phones and pagers, keep comments quietly to yourselves, and please take this time to open any candy or lozenges. Thank you. Now for please for your entertainment tonight, I give you my students who will dance for you." she then said before walking off the stage.
This then made the audience applaud as they sat and waited patiently. Soon, the lights came on the stage and the curtains pulled back as the music started and the dance school students began to line up in an orderly fashion that Odette taught them and they soon went to come on out to meet their audience after practicing for a while. Dee Dee sighed to herself as she kept dancing before she gasped a bit as a certain woman came, running a little late to the dance recital and she was accompanied by another woman who had seven men trailing behind her.
"Oh! Sorry... Sorry..." Nova whispered urgently as she went to her seats with the people who came with her.
"Excuse us, sorry." Ebony added as she followed behind Nova.
The men began to excuse themselves as they followed the two women, but one was a bit grouchy and grumpy in tone and behavior and could only be one person in all of Storybrooke.
"Get outta the way!" Leroy growled impatiently.
"Papa Leroy!" Dee Dee cheered quietly so as not to break or interrupt the dance.
