Welcome to Gaia! ::

Aden had gasped out when the beam had came crushing down to crush Ken after he heroically pushed that girl out of the way. He had rushed over to him along with everyone else. He looked at the instructor. "Call 911. He has a broken leg, and needs medical attention. He's the lead male role isn't he? You're going to have to find a replacement an quickly since there's only a few more hours until curtain call. She can't shine without her leading male."

Aden looked at her sadly when she realized that the hall was closed. "Your male lead had an accident inside during his practice, and the beam put a hole in the stage, so they'll have to reschedule, and find a replacement. I know how excited you were about this...sorry Jinafire...."

She sighed before looking at them. "No need to apologize...it wasn't your fault. I was just really hoping that it would be tonight...don't know how much longer I'll last, that's all...I had such a big part."

She wasn't surprised that someone was telling her she was going to die that night. "I had a feeling that it was going to be sometime soon. Didn't know that soon. Again it wasn't your fault, and accidents happen. If I'm going to die tonight I still wish that I could have gone out dancing as the White Swan. It would have made me happy." Aden looked at her sadly, feeling bad that she couldn't see her dream come true. Such was the life of a mortal.

Jinafire had gone inside with them into the dark theater, and she had been concerned about the hole in the stage, but it had been temporarily boarded up to keep her from falling through. She had gotten into her costume and smiled when she saw that Conrad had set everything up for her.

"Who's playing my lead male role? This is dance for two, and I practiced it that way."

Aden sat down in the front row seat to watch them, thinking that this was a very nice thing of Conrad to do considering his thoughts on the matter before they talked to her.Yes she was just one ballerina in the long line of many more to come, but that didn't mean that they didn't deserve to live out their dreams like everyone else. Not all ballerinas are going to have someone like Conrad to help them out. He wished that he could have been more involved in this mission, but he called mental dibs on the next one if it was in an area of his expertise. He can't dance ballet and only knew the waltz.

Junafire smiled at Conrad and said thank you. She watched as Aden started the music from a radio next to him, and she began to dance. She danced like she had never done before, and like she would never dance again. The both of them did such a beautiful elegant performance, and in the end she felt her heart starting to fail her, but she wasn't going to let up until the very end.

At the end he stood in the middle of the stage, and after a turn she looked at him from the other side of the stage. After a minute of realizing that it's the true love of the swan, the beautiful white swan rushed over to him in dance before ending up in his arms. She quickly glanced over at the clock and there was only a minute left.

"Thank you....both of you. Take me to...Heaven.." With the very last note of the track she dies like the swan does at the end of the play in the lead male roles' arms.

Aden got onto the stage with them and watched her as her soul was sent to Heaven after she died. "We should get out of here now that the job is done. I have a special lady waiting for me when I get my gift from Grell Spears."

Aden smirked at him and gave him the thumbs up sign. "Thanks pal! I'd do the same for you of course!" He rushed off to William's office and smiled when he saw him in his chair. "My first mission was a success and a ballerina got to dance! Isn't that great?"
