Lets pretend I didn't read the original plot

What a coincidence pt 14

After filling in the forms for a twelve week trial I grab Ryan's hand and follow the trainer down to one of the studio rooms. 

"Wow," as we enter the door I pull Rayne aside to avoid the couple practicing who trip over each other and almost fall on us.

Closer inspection almost has me turning for the door. Gotta say I give the plot an A for annoyance. I was also seriously troubled that neither of the supposed leads could tell there right foot from their left as they struggled to untangle themselves and stand.

With difficulty I arrange my face into a sympathetic wince while discretely turning aside to give them privacy. Here's hopping that they can take an out and not talk to us.

Out of the corner of my eye I see two of the instructors whispering to each other before one of them ducked into a side room and came back after a couple of minutes. A look around the room and notice a little red light blinking on one of the display boxes on the side wall.

Hmmm, I wonder what the camera is for?

With a vibrant cheerfulness the instructor started the course after the first hour Ryan was dancing beautifully and the leads where no longer falling over.  Ironically enough it seems that when I wasn't cross dressing they seemed unable to recognise me.

"Okay, okay, now for the final lesson to give the boys a sense of the difficulty the ladies have, we would like the men's to change and try their parts."

Oh really, plot Sensei you are persistent.

It was tempting to bail out of the class right their and then, but then the thought of seeing Malcom in drag was too tempting to resist. So while Callie spluttered as Malcom sneered while being dragged into the changing room I let myself be lead into a seperate room.

Attention host, potential new female lead meets standards please introduce to male lead.

I hope you mean a new lead, cause I would not torture her with the original one.

"Ooh, I'm so excited, you don't mind that we do the film for the stage two completion right?" The instructor says as she ushers me behind a screen and hands me a deep teal dress and matching heals.

And I have no idea what she means....

"When we looked on the next model website and saw your photos I was sure you would be nice. Then you came in with that girl and have been so nice helping her and so graceful. And then they said on the site the next stage would be public clips of the competitors and then up loader."

Ah, that explains kinda but not really.

"Of course," I smile as I finish zipping the dress up and step out, "though you may re-evaluate the graceful bit when I'm not dancing." I take two steps forward unconsciously and promptly trip over thin air.

In the seconds as I am careening towards the floor the door opens and an arm stretches out to catch me. I hang on the arm for a moment before a second hand comes around and helps me straighten up. I tilt my head back and blink up at Lee for a moment before belatedly remembering to say thanks.

"Thank you, for the nice save." 

"My pleasure," Lee says and smiles. He then turns to the instructor I  came to tell you that you have been called to studio C.

The instructor bobbles her head and dashes out.

"Should I ask?" I say as he holds his arm out and leads me from the room.

"This studio is one of my family's businesses"

That explains why Ryan was worried though I wonder why she didn't say anything. The coincidences keep piling up here. The only thing missing is K...

We step out the door and the missing man is dancing Ryan around the room..... I smile at how nice they look together until the other dressing room door opens and Malcom steps out of it.
