Tamie had gone back into the theater after getting her water. She was backstage when David walked in. Her partner was doing his solo dance. the song they were using was tecno and really upbeat, but perfect for the dance.

Tamie waited for her part, then took a running start before leaping into the air to be caught midflight by her partner. She saw David at the back and smiled, glad that he had come.

David was sitting almost in the very back of the theater watching everything. he wanted to cry but didn't. this girl was everything Corison wanted to be. he sighed as he watched their beautiful dance.

When the practice ended Tamie curtsied to the audience just as she would int actual performance.
She walked down the stares and back to where David was sitting. "Hey ..." She said softly watching him.

David looked up at her. " hey." he stood up quickly. " you did good." he said looking around to anywhere but her for a moment. " i got your note.." he said almost dumb founded.

"I kinda figured you did ..." She frowned slightly. "I'm so ... sorry. I didn't know. Can you ever forgive me?" She waited for a moment.

"I guess you could say that." Tamie said smileing. "We usually go out for coffee after practice, would you like to come?" Her partner chose that moment to walk up.

"Hey ... I'm Paul." He said briefly introducing himself before turning to Tamie. "I can't go to coffee tonight... I ... Umm ... I ... something came up." He turned to walk away.

"But ... Paul ... what about the dance ... you said we could talk over it!." Tamie said. Paul ignored her. "Oh ... bother. Well if you want to gowe can ... if not..." She shrugged.

"Thanks ... it's kinda lonely drinking coffe alone." She smiled. "Just let me get my bag."

Tamie changed her shoes and pulled a skirt on over her dance outfit. "Ok ... ready when you are." She said.

"It's just next door, but you can drive there if you like." Tamie said as she pushed open the door. "See look..." She pointed to a small coffee house in the next parking lot.

Tamie looked up at the unexpected question. "Oh ... about 15 years now. I started Ballet when I was very young... What about you, what made you come tonight?"

"If it's not to personal ... could you ..." Tamie heasitated. "Could you tell me about her?" She asked hopeing it wouldn't be to difficult.

David sighed. he opened his mouth to speak but nothing came out. he took a deep breath and hopefully words would come out this time. " well...for once she looked almost idenical to you." he admited. " she loved dancing. my best friend is her sister Lanie, they also have an older brother named Sylan. she got sick, and she ......died." he said shoving his hands in his pockets.
