Melody had gotten tired of being surrounded by the bunch of people who were visiting U.A highschool and had to get away for practice. She usually liked to practice dancing out door especially since the weather had been so nice lately. However she couldnt really do that today, the spot where she normally would danced was taken up by one of the bunch of clubs that U.A had sponsored in order to accommodate all the students happily. Well ALMOST accommodate would be more like it since melody now had no where to really dance now. She thought about various places, the swim team probably took up the pool area, the dormitories were way too small to give her sufficient room. She wondered if the gym had been cleared out after the opening ceremony yet.
She wandered over to the area, peaking in the door window to peer in and watch someone who was already inside. It was a young girl that struck melody as a familia- Oh wait it's rowan. What was she doing inside...WERE THE CHEERLEADERS SUPPOSE TO HAVE ANOTHER PRACTICE? She studied the situation a little further peering in the small window of the door a bit further, no wait she was all alone. Surely some others would have shown up by now if there had been practice...so what exactly was she doing? Melody decided to investigate a bit further. It was time to investigate! Melody activated her quirk and turned into a puddle right where she stood, she cracked the door slightly and snuck her way in, a small snake like body was perfect for this except for the fact her clothes were being dragged by an arm following behind her.
She got a better angle behind the bleachers of Rowan, and reformed her body into it's humanoid shape. Rowan looked like she was dancing? If melody could really call it that actually...maybe she was practicing to get better? Should melody help? She stood there watching somewhat creepily to a possible third party viewer but for now she decided to sit still and watch.

 | ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ She needed to get better. She needed to get better now. She had shown them all what to do this morning but the pep rally meant she would be the first one to start and she had to be good enough to not make a dent into the thoughts of her fellow cheerleaders. Speaking to Jisatsu had made her nervous and maybe slightly relaxed but she was by far the best dancer that the group had and she felt as if her movement were so stoney as if she had strings on her arms and legs and someone tried to move that. She had about an hour before the pep rally would start and as she had been running around and doing too many things at once, she felt that she was forgetting what to do.
Talking to Mia had not helped entirely even if she wasn't a cheerleader, she was far more cheerful than Rowan or well Lady could pretend them to be. She was like a sack of bricks considered to that girl who did not show enough cheering and not even enough dancing. She felt sick to her stomach when she thought about that because they ought to make a good impression.
She stopped after a loud sigh, still thinking she was alone in this room and she grabbed her water bottle that was next to her bag, maybe she should again try on the music but first she took a sip of the water and went through the steps in her mind again, ticking with her foot on the rhythm of the song that they picked this morning, did they pick it or did she? She wasn't entirely sure what she did but she felt as if she failed in doing everything that she should do. Which meant only more sighing.
She was running past herself, in a matter of speech as she was doing so much only today already and she was definitely not all too happy about that anymore. Rowan dropped herself next to her bag and looked on her phone, what to do. |

Melody saw that Rowan was getting rather frustrated by the looks of it, was she trying to create new routines? Well melody could tell she was trying hard but the poor girl was...mediocre...at best, not to sound conceited. Melody wondered if she could help rowan learn a routine? She was about to walk forward but she was suddenly stunned with fear. Melody was not that great with talking to girls her age, however something was pushing her forward, and uncharacteristic force or feeling. She couldn't really put this feelings into words though, was it the desire for friends encouraging her? Well whatever the reason her body was already moving forward, but it wasn't moving normally, she was still in her little water snake form. Sneaking around as to avoid rowan's eyes she snaked up towards rowan's shoulder making sure not to touch her, she peered over her shoulder and saw what Rowan was doing. She suddenly broke her cover however when she said "Whatcha watching?" she said surely startling the girl, melody however didn't react as of course she didn't scare herself.
When rowan saw melody she slowly reformed her humanoid shape with her hair going into pig-tales and her "snake" tail end replaced her clothes on her body. "Hey." she said calmly yet in a cheerful tone, "Are you practicing a routine?" she said curiously as she had looked at Rowan's phone. her body slowly began to morph back into it's human form as her hair turned back into it's normal lose self rather than it's pig tail look when she's transformed. She had been wearing some leggings and a loose tank top that hung off of her shoulders, coincidentally it was a good outfit to practice dancing and melody had been wanting to practice lately. "Show me what you have so far, maybe I can help you out? I'm pretty good at dancing myself." Her voice had slight hints of nervousness but she still had an overall cheerful demeanor. She saw the song that Rowan was dancing to, it was a song she was familiar with but to be honest melody couldn't really help her until she really saw what Rowan had so far and what they need to work on.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ As she sat next to her bag, with her back towards the door, she did not really expect someone to come but would be anticipating on footsteps and a voice from the door. However when someone spoke to her, it was directly next to her, she dropped her phone and turned to look over her shoulder, having given out a short and maybe too high pitched: wha... out of surprise. She was actually reading a text message and considering sending one to Kurama-kun, but she did not dare to be honest. But she was also, before sending the text and before she took a break from dancing, watching a routine. It was not the one they practised this morning for the pep rally, it was just her trying to get better. "M-Melody." She said when she finally realized the person that had said hi to her. She had not been paying attention to other people their quirks, albeit thanks to the football match she had an idea that it was related to water but being able to change shapes was something new to the spark-user.
She gave her a wry smile, happy to see that at least she was glad and she nodded, "Or at least trying to." But she was tired and unsure if this was not taking it too far from practising already new ones, but she wanted to stay original and on top of the game she had designed in her head. The thing was that she should not forget the one from this morning, albeit that one was fairly easy, it was mostly free game but to get attention and to have fun.
She stood up again and picked up her phone to send music to the little Bluetooth box now that they were with two of them, it would be slightly louder than only on her phone. "Oh yes, I noticed during practice." Melody was so much better at moves than Rowan, it was not fair for the captain but she tried to stay friendly and show that to Melody too. Lady did not like to be second best (she was probably even further down on that list but let's not go there). As she put the music on, she took a few steps away from Melody and showed the start of the dance, which was two steps forward in the rhythm of the beat, waving her invisible pompons. She would have to relax more during her dance, her shoulders were tense, high up towards her ears and that made her not so fluently in her steps. The next steps were trying to dance with invisible other people, which was strange to see when you were alone. |

"Yes it is I, Melody." she said calmly imitating a certain somebody she saw in a show when she would watch. She placed her hands on her hips and striking a pose. "Oh...are you struggling with it then? mind if I see it?" she said genuinely curious about what part's Rowan was having trouble with, melody always loved to help people especially someone who she was going to be seeing a lot of. She liked to improvements in others like she did with Eli and his guitar, it brought out a genuine joy in her. Maybe if her music career didn't work out she could be a teacher! She laughed at the idea, her a teacher? She put the thought away for now and decided to focus on the task at hand, she watched Rowan do the dance. Oh lord there was some work to be done, she was so tense! Her shoulder's were very high up, there was no fluency in her moves either she was like a piece of wood! Melody waited for Rowan to finish to see if she'd improve as the dance went on but to melody's disappointment it didn't. "Ok so...I'm gonna be brutally honest ok?" she said kinda being fearful of her next words, she tried to convey them as kindly as possible. "That was kind of bad....are you stressed out at the moment? I can kind of see it in your movements." she said walking over to Rowan and placing two fingers on both shoulder's "We tend to carry stress in our body, specifically in our shoulders." she said pushing down slightly on Rowan's shoulder until they were in the position they should be while dancing.
"Maybe you could watch me and see where it is you're going wrong? after my dance we could do stretches to help out those areas too!" she said smiling at the girl as she put both hands together, really she just wanted to dance after watching Rowan especially since it's one of her few stress relievers. Melody put on the song once more and did the routine that Rowan had just performed, her movements were fluid and energetic as she moved exactly to the beat of the music. Once it got to the part that Rowan stopped at she stopped at too "See? Let's try doing some stretches to help you out." she said getting onto the floor and opening her legs and stretching forward to try and touch her toes, she gestured Rowan to do the same. "It also helps if you talk about the stress you have, only if you want to though." she said trying to respect Rowan's right to privacy. But she felt for the girl since she knew exactly what it was like to keep it bottled up inside.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ Rowan had no idea what Melody was imitating so she only looked with an arched eyebrow and gave a short snicker because it looked very funny. She nodded when she said that she was trying to do a new routine, it was a tad more difficult than what they had tried before, mainly because Rowan wanted to use it after the sports event to get a better grip and to be able to train beforehand. She held up her phone for Melody to see when she asked and just watched the reaction of the girl whom she knew barely a thing about, actually she only knew that her name was Melody and that she liked blue, considering people picked their favourite colour for the pompons. She would show the dance and she felt very embarrassed about being watched, especially someone who seemed to be so easy in making movements as she had seen during their practice and at the football match. Not all the time was life fair. She would have to practice hard to catch up with Melody like that, especially if she wanted to remain the cheer captain. She was done and it took her a few seconds to look at Melody and she nodded, again obviously embarrassed, when the girl said she would be brutally honest.
She nodded again when Melody asked if she was stressed, she even asked even though the girl immediately followed with being able to see that and placing her fingers on Rowan's shoulders, she tried to lower them when Melody pushed softly and tried to hold on to that. "Okay, let's do that." She said and watched Melody do the routine she had just seen once now, it was not fair how good her memory and movements were that Lady felt jealous, but she tried to hide that behind her Rowan mask and just wrapped her arms around her to hold herself and not react. She smiled though if she could do that too. She went to sit when the next part, the stretching happened and followed the gesture that Melody made, knowing what the point of this warming up was. "It's just a lot of things, I thought about the pep rally and about the match and eh." She thought about a lot of things yes indeed. "Well I have been running around too much to not focus on those things and those are the most important of today." Apart from the food stall for the cooking club but she had survived that already. |

Melody suspected as much when Rowan opened up a bit, it was a wide opening but her quirk allowed her to fit into the smallest of cracks so that's what she was going to do right now. Melody did a stretch and tried to console Rowan, "I think for us not having much time to practice an awful lot, we did pretty good." she said trying to cheer Rowan up "Mostly I'd place the majority of the credit for us doing well on you, I know I for sure didn't really help." she said beginning to criticize herself. "I knew I could dance very well, I knew some of us struggled with it...but I barely lifted a finger to help you guys out. Worst part of it is, I couldn't even tell you why I did it. I just...did.." she said frowning upon her own actions, she really had no excuse to not help the girls out now. Especially now that she was able to piece together that Rowan's stress was coming from the cheerleaders. She saw first hand now what happen when she let her fears stop her from doing what she wanted to do and she felt awful for it. Maybe that's why she ended up wanting to help Rowan, the guilt was eating her up and she just tried to push it down like the rest of her feelings.
"So if it makes you feel any better your not alone in your stress. I apparently just do a good job at hiding it? Doesn't really fix the issue though..Sorry, I'm not good at consoling people apparently. I sound stupid." she said trying to take all of the blame, Melody thought Rowan was doing a damn great job at being a captain. Hell she was doing a better job than melody's lazy butt would have done. She went on to show another stretch to Rowan focused on loosening up their arm muscles as she heard out Rowan's reply to her words.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ She tried with her fingertips to touch her toes, keeping her back as straight as possible, maybe she should do more warming ups from time to time in general, it could not be bad, especially if she wanted to get better. She heard how much Saiko had done to get out of the thoughts of being bad, training so hard and she barely did a thing. She trained once with Jasmine but that was about it. She had been worse than Arthur and Elise had been very impressive as well, there had to be a change at some point. She looked at Melody while stretching again, "Hm that's true." The match seemed to have done well or well their cheering had gone well, with Arisu her yell, the pyramids that they hastily had performed only the morning before the match. Maybe she should take some credit from that as well. She turned to look at her feet, stretching another time before looking back at Melody and listening, it made her stop in her motion.
What?
"You shouldn't blame yourself, Melody, I am the captain, I should be able to help out. I know it's teamwork but we just started and we barely know each other, I can imagine you don't jump immediately in front of everyone, but it would be nice if you could help me out in case I do something wrong." She said, trying to keep the mood light, she did not want Melody to think bad about herself, Rowan really believed that it was her job to let it work out and let them work together. "Maybe we should meet up to just get to know each other more, before continuing the training." She mused out loud, albeit she hoped that they would hang out after practice and meet up more often with each other without having the need to be told. Her conversation with Arisu and Chiyoko had been nice and now Melody. She gave a short chuckle when Melody said that she was good at hiding it. "You do not sound stupid, I do understand what you mean, maybe with a little help I can get rid of this stress and after this sports event is over, we should dance together for fun, no training, just so I can learn more and become better." She said because she also thought about the sports event a lot but that was not something she could fix at this point.
She followed another one of the stretches that Melody showed, hoping to ease her problem too, hopefully, they could just help out each other. Everything to get better herself and the other girls looking good, made Rowan as a captain look better. |

Melody had listen to Rowan when it came to melody placing the blame on herself, and while the girl made perfect sense. Melody had chosen to reject those words instead. She knew what Rowan said was true, melody was not the captain but she felt responsible for Rowan's stress. What if this applied to Melody when she was a hero? it's how she looked at it at least, she knew she could do something but chose to sit there instead. She decided to fib to Rowan for the sake of being nice though, "Yeah you might be right." she said regarding the situation with the team's performance.
However the next part of the conversation really began to interest her, rowan suggested maybe everyone should hang out outside of the practices to get to know each other. Melody thought it was a good idea, maybe forging bonds between them all could lead to better practices? After all team work was the most important thing in cheer-leading, you had to trust who you were working with and it's significantly harder when that person is a stranger. But what could they do? Maybe a movie night? Maybe something else? Most of the cheerleaders were girls so a movie night sounded plausible. But it couldn't be in the girl's dorm at night cause then Jisa would probably get in trouble..
"Maybe a movie night would be nice?" she said as a suggestion, maybe they could ask a teacher to borrow a homeroom and a projector? Oh that sounded like such fun! "We could probably ask a teacher to borrow a projector and a classroom for a night so that way Jisa can come without it having to be in the dorm room!" she said excitedly. It would also really help melody's irrational fear of girl's her own age. Rowan also suggested the two of them dance together for just fun eventually. She liked the idea, having a partner to just practice with would open up some options in melody's routine and she was desperate for some change. "Of course, I'd love to dance with you some more. Despite what I said earlier I really think you do have some potential." she said smiling at Rowan, hopefully melody could help her harvest that innate talent. Melody went on to practice a bit more with Rowan and spent around a hour there showing her some tips and ways to loosen up. It was somewhat intense which melody didn't really intend but it was fun! She sat down on her butt with both hands behind her as she tried to catch her breath.
"Well, im sorry i put you through the ringer but i think we really got a lot done." she said between breaths as she tried to catch it. Rowan she had one hell of a work ethic that really challenged melody's, it burned like a wild fire.

| ◀ | The heart is a heavy burden ❤ She did not want to be the one to take the blame, but that was what society expected of her as a captain. That she took the captain job so hesitant had been a maks, maybe so perfectly well hidden that at the moment she did not know it herself. Nerves of a seventeen-year-old, after all, that was still what Lady was too. She was afraid to speak up in front of nine other girls and to have a few not agree with her that she would be the captain even if it was her initiative but you never knew. She decided to throw this caution into the wind, playing Rowan was a horrible task to her. It felt like being a coward and she hated that, she hated the name so much. She would be the one on the top, she did not reach that far, games, pep rallies, all she wanted to be was on top of that, not Tokyo, not Japan or the world, just this school. There were only a few people too many in her way. She decided to laugh, trying to put it off as natural as she could, "Might? It seems like I haven't entirely convinced you yet." She snickered as she turned to continue with the stretching as well as the conversation.
She looked surprised at Melody when she suggested a movie night, that was something she never thought of, the thing was that she never really thought of anything for interaction. She either talked to people at the moment but barely texted anyone to ever hang out before. Maybe that was also because of the times she did, she did not get a response. "A movie night sounds nice." She mused as she thought about that, how would they do that with everyone, if everyone could come, it might be difficult to find a time where all ten of them would be able to come. "Well, I don't live in the dorms, if not everyone is able to make it you might fit in my apartment, we can order a pizza or so." She would not mind showing a friendly side, in that way she could ask things from people later, if they liked her and if they trusted her. "But else a classroom might be a good idea." What was the time everyone had to be back in the dorms? Maybe she should work on kissing up on Miku before she spilt the guts on the things she shared before. Stupid Rowan, only making more trouble.
"Oh thanks, I am glad to hear that else I would have to stop trying." She laughed, it was good to know she had potential and once this event was over, this stupid festival, she would try to get so far and practice so hard that she would be worthy of being the captain. Show off, that's exactly what she wanted and now she could use Melody for that. "It's nice to have someone like you around." She smiled, it would all work out fine, but first, they had to dance. Which was heavy and tough but she did not complain, she locked her jaw and just did what was asked, if you wanted to be perfect, you had to work for it.
She dropped herself on the ground next to her bag when it was over. "We-we sure did." And surely it was getting better and that was good because the pep rally was next. Maybe she should not have overloaded Melody now that that was the first thing to happen. What time was it? |
