Anna was so excited, her and Ashley had finally talked about everything and fixed their friendship. Finally she had someone to talk to about everything with out any judgement. She had Brian of course, but it is always nice having a girl to talk to. Anna was also ecstatic because her dance class that she was in outside of school had a recital coming up! Her and her dance group were dancing at the local mall. After all the effort she had put into learning this intense routine she was looking forward to getting some satisfaction out of it. They were dancing to Michael Jackson "They Don't Care about us". With all the different types of beats in that song it made for a very fun routine. The routine had a lot of stomping, clapping and jumping. She loved her dance teacher too, she was a Denver Bronco Cheerleader, so they often spent time learning their routines for fun. The only thing was, Anna was very nervous about the outfit that she had to wear. She was very uncomfortable with her body and her skin tight top she had to wear wasn't helping.
It was finally the day of the recital, she got up decently early for her to get ready since it was an all day thing with multiple shows. At least with this recital she didn't have to wear a wig all day like the last one she was in. She puts on her pants and her top, sucks in her gut and sighs... "oh well it's just one day she thinks" to herself. As her and her mom are leaving she notices that her pants are really loose, but she didn't have time to change or go buy different ones, so she had to deal with it. They arrive at the mall and they her and her mom go different ways, her mom was going to go look around before the show and Anna had to check in with her dance group and stretch. After a while of searching she finds someone that was also in the recital to direct her where to go. She finds her way back to a creepy hallway that led to a big room where everyone was. This room looked like a huge break room for the mall with a bunch of motivational posters all over the walls. Anna couldn't help but laughing because most of the posters had cats on them. She finds her group and starts to stretch and practice for the upcoming show. Anna was still having issues with her pants, but just had to deal. She wanted to use a hair tie to make them tighter but sadly no one had an extra one.
An hour had passed and it was time for their first show, and it went great! Everything fell into place and no one fell into anyone or any audience members, that was success! It was only another 30 minutes until the next one so Anna headed up to the food court to grab an Orange Julius, strawberry banana was her favorite. She catches up with her mom as well, they both walk back down so her mom could see the next show. Anna chugs her drink and goes out for the next show. Everything was going well again. They were doing their ending stomps and poses. As Anna does her last pose she looks out and sees David and Ashley watching. At that moment Anna's pants finally give out and fall to the floor. Anna panics and grabs them and pulls them back up hoping that no one would notice. Everyone in the audience started laughing, Anna was hoping that it wasn't about her, but she knew that it was her that everyone was laughing about. She walks out to talk to David and Ashley and Ashley handed her a hair tie and said "Your pink panties are cute, but this is probably better." Anna face went from her pantie pink to bright red. That's when David said "Don't worry, it happens to all of us." Smiling awkwardly Anna says "Thanks..." and runs away as fast as she could. She didn't want to do the last show but she knew she had to power through. She did it, and everyone clapped and gave her a high five. Sure her new dance class name was "pantless manda", but at least she finished what she started.
At school that Monday Anna was sitting in class when someone leans over to her and says "hey, I saw you dance at the mall this last weekend. What happened to you was awesome." Anna couldn't help but look at the girl and smile as she said "yeah it was pretty pink."
