Kalisha went into the front row seat next to Yusef that evening looking...troubled as she tried to hide what Kamil and Omar had said to her for all their sakes. But that soon passed once she saw
Akari’s,
Chloe’s, and
Sajida’s sexy belly dancing outfits while they clambered into the open cabin of the
Chloe Flyer as a makeshift stage, and the way they each looked at the man and woman with pure desire.
What neither she or Yusef knew was that, during practice, while Akari had been changing and cleaning herself up of the smell of her own sex and Yusef’s cum, Chloe had been flirting pretty heavily with Sajida. She’d done this to let her know the Caledorian pilot’s appreciation for Sajida deciding not to leave...and what she almost missed out on. Even Chloe, however, didn’t entirely know where her newfound confidence was coming from. Sajida was this close to ripping her clothes off and pinning down and devouring little, scrumptious Chloe...finally breaking her resistance to join the group sexually...
And then Akari came in all dressed up, and much as she loved her Gudarian wife to be, Chloe was definitely frustrated by the interruption. Meanwhile, Akari had pent up energy she hadn’t gotten to fuck away with Yusef, and Sajida was just annoyed with everything and everyone in general, and annoyed at herself for being annoyed. And so all three women poured their collective emotions into
nailing the practice dances.
Once they were all up on stage and the musicians were in place, they started with a light and happy
song about three joyous hearts finding each other in a wood. This was not a song that called for a lot of energetic hip shaking, but they still managed to pop their backs a few times to reveal their skirts for the benefit of Yusef and Kalisha; the rest of the audience gasped and grinned.
Then Akari and Sajida fell back and Chloe surprisingly took the lead with an instrumental rendition of
Dawn of a Nation, the theme of the Caledorian Empire. This song led to Chloe stomping her feet, rolling her belly, and thrusting her fists out among other things and singing along as the music re-enacted the mighty and triumphant struggle of a tiny island people in the war against the Elder Dragons. Popular opinion of the Empire shot through the roof after seeing the redhead’s hips refrain from falsehood.
To calm the audience after that powerful performance, Akari, starting from sitting on
the stage and slowly rising to her feet, performed
what she remembered of her inner psychic song in front of everybody, a level of vulnerability the thief had never achieved as up until now only Yusef knew it. Yet, her rendition had a
slightly darker, more seductive edge to her vocals and musical backing. Chloe had to control her breathing as she’d never felt more turned on by her girlfriend.
Then Sajida danced for the first time in many years- and moved her fellow dancers, most of the audience, and her beloved Kalisha to tears with her mixture of three different Surai ballads that Sajida had introduced Kalisha to years ago-
The first about profound sorrow for one’s actions, which Kalisha understood to be Sajida’s penitence for her harsh actions towards Kalisha and Yusef.
The second about triumph over adversity, often called Journey Through the Dark Rainforest. Kalisha thought that this must be about Sajida’s trip across the world alone, and how it made her able to bear her grief.
And the third and last was about finding one’s place. For this, Sajida shook her hips, belly, and chest more and dropped to the floor frequently, even crawling on all fours, clearly indicating her slowly surrendering to her desire for Kalisha and Yusef. Both Akari and Chloe were also aroused beyond measure; even though they had done their level best to compete, they both knew now why Sajida was a master at her culture’s most recognizable art form.
And finally, all three dancers joined together on stage for a song that combined themes from all three of their performances-
emotional highs, intimacy, dark intensity, and victory. And then they took a bow and all rose to their feet and gave a standing ovation, and many people surrounded Yusef and complimented him on his taste in women.
Except for Kalisha, who ran into the plane and started crying. In the crowd she wasn’t much noticed, but the girls did and quickly closed the cabin to anyone- even Yusef, which was strictly enforced by Hopper riding atop Arcturis’s head. Soon, everybody dispersed except for Kamil, Omar, and presumably Yusef, who hung around the plane wondering what was going on.
