I haven’t edited this, but yknow; here you go.
------------------------------------------------------------
A month, a month Ren and Scar had planned this. It was only 9 in the morning and the show started in just an hour, but Ren was not ready at all. He did not feel like he was ready at all. Yes, he spent so much time rehearsing, practicing, and working hard to make sure the act would be perfect. Ren was basically freaking out. He was standing in front of the mirror backstage, trying to fix his white bow tie, he had been undoing it and doing it up again for the past 20 minutes.
He was going through all the possibilities of how everything could go wrong, or the kids would not like him. Kids. He was preforming for kids with Scar. He was panicking if a bunch of children would like his act or not…but adults would still be accompanying the kids and that reporter, Zedaph could be there and Ren could make fool of himself and then it would be all other the headlines! Ren stopped fiddling with his bow tie and his hands ending up in his semi-long hair, grabbing it and he would pull on it. This could be his only chance at an having a job, and even a family and he is away to mess it up by trying to preform this act. Everything is going to go to shit! Ren knows it is. He is going to back to the streets and live in a goddamn bin!
Ren turned around his hands still grabbing his hair, he faced Scar.
“Hm, maybe you aren’t a ‘chill’ as you said, huh?”, Scar made a smug face. Scar walked over next to Ren, taking off his wizard hat and placing it down on the mirror dresser. Scar then grabbed Ren’s hands and pulled them away from his hair. “You need to calm down. We’ve been going over this act as soon as Xisuma recruited you.”, Ren turned to face the mirror and stared at his fluffy ears. Scar sighed and let go Ren’s hands, “Your going to do great and these kids will love you, I promise.”
Ren grumbled, “Are you sure, what if I mess it up?”, Ren seemed to still be on edge even after Scar trying to say he was going to be fine, he had so many doubts. Scar sighed again a bit more heavily.
“We have been rehearsing our butts off for this act for a month, you only fucked up twice, twice!”, Scar held up two fingers and shoved them in Ren’s face. “And that was at the start of the month, and not once then have you done anything but make it better each time!”, Ren still looked unsure. Scar pulled his fingers out of Ren’s face and grabbed his bow tie; he began to fix it.
“Listen Ren, I really mean it when your going to do great. I remember when Xisuma had me do my first show, it was nerve-wracking as fuck. I had been practicing with Xisuma the whole time for 2 months, trying up my ability in magic and when it came the time to final preform…I was literally shitting myself, but as soon as I was actually on stage, I was fine, I got on with it and it was super fun and I was really proud of myself. Seeing their faces and getting an applause after it was worth it.”
Scar patted Ren’s chest after he finished tying the bow tie, Ren looked a lot more confident. “I suppose it would be really cool to see everyone’s reactions.”
“Oh, trust me. It’s the best part.”, Scar smirked. “Now, we’ve spent some time speaking, we’ve got around 20 mins before we start.”
Ren looked oddly at Scar, “You don’t even have a watch-”, Scar pointed behind Ren and Ren turned around to see Xisuma in the doorway, holding up a pocket watch.
“You do indeed have 15 minutes until your act begins, the kids have been swarming me asking where’s the ‘Big good wolf’!”, Xisuma closed his pocket watch, “I’m surprised they aren’t saying ‘Big bad wolf’.”
Ren’s face looked even more puzzling if it could, “They are asking for me?”
Xisuma nods, “They’re extremely excited to see someone with big ol’ ears.”
Scar chuckled, “Hm, I think we should maybe get going and give the little ones the show they are after!”, Scar put a hand on Ren’s shoulder and Ren gave Scar a nod.
It seemed all his worries and doubts got up and left, he felt really confident in himself now. The kids were out at the seats waiting just for him. Ren has always wanted to feel like this, feel like he was wanted. The kids outside of wanting to see Ren preform made Ren so happy, it meant so much to Ren. He just wanted to get out there and start the act.
Scar grabbed his wizard hat and ran past Ren and Xisuma, he pulled out some little round balls. Ren pushed his hair back and followed Scar also running past Xisuma, who seemed to have a big smile on his face.
Scar threw the little balls onto the stage and they burst, creating a cloud of smoke, Ren ran right through it and jumped right in front of the kids with a playful growl and Scar ran into and out the smoke too and raised his hands and shouted, “Who’s ready for Ren the Wolf!”. The kids erupted into a bunch of gleeful shouts and screams, and Ren had never felt so happy.
