The day had finally arrived when Manolo and Lucille would give their first performance at the Cirque Mystique. And to say that Manolo was nervous was the biggest understatement in the world.
His whole body felt as tightly strung as his own guitar strings as he walked around the performance space, taking in every detail and trying to prepare himself for the show that would be starting in only a few short hours. Where had all that time between joining the circus and the first performance gone?
As the thought repeatedly cycled through his head and he walked around the perimeter of the stage, he tried to reason with himself that the time hadn't been spent fruitlessly. After all, he had practiced multiple times by himself and with Lucille, they had long ago settled on their costumes, theme, songs and dancing act, and he had already performed many times in front of an audience.
However, the worrying part of his mind reminded him that those performances had been in front of a much smaller audience and never in a venue like the Cirque. The positive part of his mind tried to counter this and the internal conflict only added to his nerves. He really didn't even need to look around the performance tent, having already gone over the setup of the show and memorizing the space like the back of his hand. However, it helped distract him however slightly from his concerns to search for any tiny details he might have overlooked, even if it was something as small as a differently placed stage light or a small raise in the wood of the stage.
"Just focus on the music. Just focus on playing your music and nothing else."
He whispered the words softly to himself as he jumped lightly down from the stage and looked at the lights overhead, trying to spot any new changes to the setup.

Manolo had still been speaking quietly to himself and examining the surroundings for anything that might cause problems during the performance when he suddenly heard the flutter of wings next to his head. His first thought was a bug of some kind flying around his head and he quickly made a waving motion by his ear, hoping to get the insect to leave. He really needed to focus in order to keep himself calm.
However, the next instant a small voice had spoken directly where the sound of fluttering wings had come from. He turned his head and spotted the source of the voice. What he saw he could only think of as a fairy flying on the same level as his head. He blinked at the small creature and even though it was still a bit of a surprise, he at least felt some comfort in knowing what this being was.
"Um....hello?"

Zarina had seen Manolos hand coming at her and flew out the way before it hit her . "Hay watch where you wave that thing." Zarina said hovering in front of him.He did seam a bit surprised about seeing the small fairy so she ended up changing back to a normal size it was still small then normal though. "You look like you never seen a fairy before." Zarina said jokingly trying to brake the ice.

"I haven't."
Manolo had taken a hasty step back when the small fairy suddenly grew larger, taking on a size that most people would have just referred to as short. His eyes quickly took her figure in, pausing at her reddish brown hair, her wide amber eyes and her rather wild-looking outfit. However, his gaze couldn't help but stop at her wings, transparent and filled with curling patterns.
"Pardon me for trying to swat you. I thought you were an insect."
He managed to turn his eyes away from her wings and back to the fairy's face. Despite this sudden meeting with yet another circus member, Manolo could still feel his nerves buzzing with anxiety.

Zarinas wings glittered when ever the stage light would hit them as Manolo looked at her wings she fluttered them all most as if she showing them off. "Its all right some times I forget how small I can be in my smaller form. Some times I forget to change to this normal size." Zarina Replied.

"You have a... normal size?"
Manolo knew the question displayed his ignorance of magical beings but he also knew that if he didn't ask questions of the people he met he would never learn anything. And he certainly hadn't known that fairies came in any other size then that of a large bug.
