A lot can be said in just three words, and we're challenging you to do just that in this bonus round! From your "I love you"s to your "red, white, blue"s, you'll have just three words to prompt and be prompted.

Required Work Minimums:- 400 words (prose)

- Traditional art is also allowed with a good quality photo/scan

"Do you ever miss dancing in girl-pairs?" Shizuku asked one night. The two girls sat in the studio, still dressed in their practice clothes, backs against the mirror. It was late.
Chinatsu bit her lip.
"Sometimes," she answered. "Of course. I fell in love with dance that way. I-" she paused, and her mouth twisted into something bitter and sad. "I loved dancing with my friends."
Shizuku fought the urge to reach out, to cover Chinatsu's hand with her own. I understand, she couldn't say; she didn't know Chinatsu well enough yet, but Shizuku knew what it was like to talk about dance and have your heart twist at the same time.
"Well," Chinatsu continued brightly. She slapped her thighs. "You can't do girl pairs forever, right? Professional dance doesn't allow it. And Tatara is a surprising leader."
"He is," agreed Shizuku. "I've danced with Kiyoharu my whole life, and it was so strange, dancing with Fujita that time. But he made it to the next round even though he'd never danced before." She shook her head, smiling. “I wonder what it would be like, though, if dancesport allowed girl-pairs.”
Chinatsu sucked in a breath. Then she laughed.
“It would be ridiculous! Would they both wear dresses, do you think? Or would it be like in juniors, where the leader dresses like the men?” She laughed again. “Although, I do miss leading, sometimes.”
Shizuku hummed and leaned forward to rest her head on her knees. She thought about Chinatsu in a tail suit, one that emphasized the breadth of her shoulders and length of her legs, her eyebrows darkened and hair pulled back in a chignon. And then she let herself picture Chinatsu's hair loose around her shoulders-- that would never be allowed, of course, but then, neither would a professional girl-pair-- heavy and bright, swinging out like the skirts of a dress and tickling Shizuku's hand where on her shoulder. She imagined Chinatsu confidently leading, the two of them shining and drawing all eyes to them, the best dancers on the floor.
“Shizuku?” Chinatsu was standing in front of her, looking worried. “Are you all right?”
“Oh.” Shizuku hadn't even noticed Chinatsu moving. “I'm fine; just tired.”
“It's late,” agreed Chinatsu. She held out a hand. “Can I ask- why were you asking about girl-pairs?”
Shizuku took Chinatsu's hand, allowing her to pull her to her feet.
“No reason.”
