𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐍...
you manage to get lost on your way home, you unintentionally get yourself caught in a sketchy science experiment...yikes. you wake up in a foreign land (or shall I say planet) that is filled with 8-10ft tall blue...creatures?
follow al...
as the music flooded your ears you allowed your body to melt into the rhythm of the music, your feelings drifting away as you moved. you smiled and pretended as if you were performing on stage, acting out the very story you were dancing to. as the song reached its climax you softly hummed the melody, turning faster yet obtaining your elegance. this was a routine you had done thousands of times before yet it was still the one that you enjoyed the most.

Lo'ak's ears twitched as he came to an abrupt stop.
"what?" Neteyam stopped walking and turned to look at his younger brother
"listen," Lo'ak whispered turning towards a certain direction of the forest. Giving nobody a chance to respond, he started to walk closer to where he heard the sound coming from.
"look," Spider pointed in your direction
"what's she doing?" Lo'ak asked, looking directly at your pointe shoes
"I think she's..dancing?" Spider replied. he and Lo'ak were now crouching behind a bush, trying to get a better look at you without making it obvious that they were watching you. Neteyam on the other hand, stood next to a tree, mesmerized at the way you moved. how effortlessly you turned while humming a soft tune.
"is she balancing on her toes..!? is that a human thing?" Lo'ak turned to Spider n nudged his side repeatedly, trying to make sure he wasn't seeing things
"how would I know!!? I don't know everything about earth!" Spider groaned, attempting to stop his friend from bruising his ribs
after hearing a loud noise, you immediately stopped dancing and took off the walkman, turning in the direction of the sound. you spotted two blue figures; one in a bush and one shamelessly standing by a tree. you moved your gaze slightly to the right and saw small a head of blonde dreadlocks.
you chuckled, "so much for a spy, huh?" you sat down on the grass and started to untie your pointe shoes, while Spider and Lo'ak stood up from their 'hiding' spot
"what were you doing?" Spider asked, looking at your pointe shoes
"aren't you a human?" you picked up your pointe shoes and walked towards him, "I was dancing, the style is called ballet. these are pointe shoes, I wear them to...make my dancing look more graceful?" you passed Spider one of your pointe shoes and gave Lo'ak the other, before turning around to put the walkman back into the black box.
"uhh...I'm gonna need those back" you coughed awkwardly, pushing forward the black box and gesturing for them to put your pointe shoes in the box. after closing the lid on the box, you slowly looked at the three of them your mind tracing back to the heated conversation earlier.
"sorry-"
"about earlier..-" you started,.
Lo'ak looked up in embarrassment and pointed toward you, signalling for you to speak first
"I didn't mean to blow up at you guys earlier," you turned to Neteyam, "I was wrong to blame you like that... I guess I just don't know what to do anymore" you took a step back and cleared your throat, trying to remember to short Na'vi phrases you had been taught,
"Oe..tsap'..palute s..see?"
you looked up, a deep blush immediately rushing up your cheeks as you saw the confusion on their faces
"do you mean..Oe tsap'alute si?" Neteyam looked at you in amusement, while Lo'ak and Spider burst out into laughter
"you..you know what I meant!" you held the box closer to your face, trying to hide your humiliated face, "look...I'm sorry okay!"
"sorry for being..rude," Lo'ak sheepishly said, still chuckling from your poor attempt at speaking the Na'vi language
you smiled and waved goodbye to the trio, "see you guys next week!" they waved goodbye and headed deeper into the forest
maybe...just maybe they weren't as bad as you thought
