Everyone had gone to sleep in their rooms after the party is over. Masaki sat in bed, thinking about tomorrow. 'This is my first performance. I better not mess this up.' He thought before he drifted off to sleep. In the morning, Sayuri and Masaki walked into the dance studio. "Ok, you guys need to learn how to dance. If your songs require dancing." Tokiya said. "Mine won't. I'm sorry. Can I go with Nanami to the practice room?" Sayuri asked. Nanami nodded and they went to the practice room. "Ok, that leaves you. Do you need to dance?" Tokiya asked. "Yes, but I got most of the moves down." Masaki said. He did some of the moves and all of the boys were impressed. Syo came up and said "Wow, that was so cool!" Masaki smiled at the complement. He continued to dance and he tripped on a scrunch in the carpet. Ittoki and Natsuki walked over to him. "Oww. That hurts." He said. Masaki looked at his knee. It was brushed, but not bleeding. He stood up and began to dance again. Only this time, it was a little sloppy. His knee hurt. Masato came up to him and said. "Your knee is hurt. Take a break from dancing." Masaki shook my head no. "I can't. I need today to practice dancing." He said. He cleaned up his act and it was perfect again. Everyone clapped after the performance. He bowed and looked at his knee. He quickly left for a water drink. "Did you see the bruise on Masaki's leg? It got worse." Masato asked. Ren shook his head yes. "I noticed it. What are we going to do about it?" Ren asked back. "Tell him he can't dance?" Ittoki butted in. He came back, looking better. "I'm going to finish dancing, then rest. I know you were talking about my injury. Its nothing serious, I promise." Masaki said. We all nodded in agreement. Masaki danced for another hour, then went to his room to go put ice on his leg.

*Crash* bump* smash*

We all went to go see what the commotion was about. When we looked, we saw Masaki at the bottom of the stairs, his leg all twisted. "Masaki!" We all screamed. Ren picked him up and we got into his car. We drove to the hospital. "Guys, I'm ok. You don't have to take me to the hospital." Masaki said, sounding kinda broken. "No, your not. Your all limp and I heard bones cracking. We're taking you to the hospital." Syo said. Natsuki and Ittoki looked really worried. Once they were in the hospital, Ittoki and Tokiya stayed behind to look out for Masaki. Ren and Masato went to go get Sayuri. Syo and Natsuki went to go tell Shining.

*a couple of hours later*

A docter came by and said. "I have some good news and bad news. The good news is that his knee is all better. The bad news is the bottom half of his leg isn't." "What do you mean?" Ittoki asked, really worried. "I mean...he has cancer in his leg. We're glad you came to us soon, otherwise we would have to amputate his whole leg. Instead, we just have to amputate the bottom half, below the knee. The amputation wont take long and he'll be able to go on stage, but I'm sorry to say that he won't be able to dance for a while." The nurse explains. The blow was shocking. Ittoki was to shocked to move. Tokiya got his phone out and called Syo.
"Hello, Syo."
"What's up with Masaki?"
"He's going to be ok...."
"Phew."
"...after the amputation."
"The what!?"
"The amputation. He has cancer in his leg.
"What!?! Cancer!?!"
"I'm afraid so. Look, I have to go call Ren."
"Wait a minute, I'm not done..."

Tokiya hung up on a screaming Syo. Then he called Ren.

"Hello, Ren?"
"Hi. How's Masaki."
"He's okay-ish."
"What does okay-ish mean?"
"His knee is all fixed, but he has cancer in his leg. He'll need amputation."
"....."
"Ren?"
"I'm still here. Poor little tree. I hope he'll be ok."
"I'm sure he'll be fine. Goodbye."
"See ya."

Tokiya sat there and tried to help Ittoki out of shock. 'This is going to be a long night.'
