Amanda's eyes were red as she said in her sweet voice, “You worked hard in your ballet classes, but I worked hard in my dancing classes too. If you feel that it was unfair, then let's change it up. The person in charge of the music can play the piano for me, and the handsome man here can play for you. Is that all right?”
The girl wiped away her tears and nodded. The rest of the crowd also nodded in agreement at that.
Both girls played rock-paper-scissors, and it was decided that Amanda would be going first.
She put on her red hood and acted like she was Little Red Riding Hood. Amanda acted cute one moment and whimsical the next. Everyone was laughing their hearts out as they watched her performance.
On the other hand, the girl danced to “Swan Lake.” Her moves were elegant, but they could never be compared to Amanda's.
She was about to cry again when she found out that she had lost again.
At that, Amanda pouted and said, “We're here to show off our talents. We can do whatever we want. There's no rule saying that we have to dance. Don't cry for small reasons like this. It's embarrassing. I-If you really want first place, then I'll give it to you.”
The crowd felt outraged for her when they saw how big-hearted she was being.
One of them voiced, “Why should you give it to her? All of us saw that you performed better than her. Both times too!”
“That's right. Competitions don't work in your favor just because you cry. That's not how it works.”
Soon enough, all the customers were in support of Amanda getting first place. Even the host gave her all of the prizes for first place.
He wanted to give the girl who did ballet the prizes for second place, but Lucian suddenly stated, “She's good at ballet, but am I not good at magic?”
“We're both boys here. Let her have it this time, okay?” Seeing that there were so many customers watching, the host didn't want the girl to cry again.
Lucian shrugged and put on an aggrieved look on his face. Even the way he spoke sounded pitiful as he said, “I would have let her have it if I were fourteen. But I'm only four! She's already seven. It should be the other way around.”
The crowd found what he said to be reasonable.
A second later, Lucian said generously, “Fine. I'll let her have her way. We can split the prizes for second place.”
Then, he walked toward the area where all the prizes were and asked for the Rubik's cube from the staff.
