The opening weekend for Bienvenue au Cirque was finally here and I couldn't be more excited.  I was using my Fae magic to make my opening night outfit.  I had used the Google to find the perfect idea.  I found a lady with water falling as the skirt of her costume and it was perfect.  I knew I could easily recreate that with my magic.  The bodice was see through with pearls sown in a swirling pattern to somewhat cover up my breasts and nature lent her hand to have water flowing down from the bodice as my skirt.  I have no modesty as a Fae but I would have very unhappy mates if I didn't have some modesty for their sakes.  

We had the opening all planned.  Sam would cut the fancy ribbon with his fancy, big, gold scissors.  Eric and Godric would be seated on thrones in a fancy roped off area.  I roped it off with unseen magic because I'll be damned if any mortal or supe would try crawling up to my mates.  I was up in the rafters.  I had recently watched Moulin Rouge and wanted to recreate the Diamonds are a Girls Best Friend entrance that Nicole Kidman has.  So a swing was built from the rafters with diamonds fitted on it.  Yes, my mates wouldn't let me have anything less than real diamonds.  So here I was seated on my swing just lazily moving my legs back and forth as I hummed the song I'd be singing.  Oh did I forget to mention my wings were visible for all?  My glamour was completely dropped.  No one would know it was real.  It was the whole point of Cirque.  To welcome all supes while never knowing what was real.  

Finally, I heard excited voices as the crowd filtered in.  Then I could see them and I was so giddy to make my entrance.  I knew everyone was in when Sam said the magic words.

"Now where did my business partner get to?  Leaving all the grand opening for me to handle myself.  Quite the mischievous Fae she is.  Have any of you seen her?  She's about yea tall with wings.  Can't miss her." Sam said into the mic.

Everyone began looking around for me.

"Yoohoo!  Up here!" I called out with a giggle.

Then the spot light hit me and the diamonds blazed like a disco ball.  The swing dropped down and began to swing over the crowd as the notes of Diamonds are a girl's best friend began to play.  I began to sing along with the music.

The swing began to lower and once I was close to the floor I sprung off the swing and gently floated down with my wings.  The crowd went nuts.  I continued singing and began dancing through the crowd as I heard them wondering how I floated.  I could hear them asking if my wings were real and how I had water flowing but the floor wasn't getting wet.  They were wondering where the water was going.  Soon I was surrounded by men and women lusting after me but just like I blocked my mates off I had a field around myself as well.  I knew just as I didn't want them near my mates that my mates wouldn't want them near me either.  As the song was drawing to an end I sashayed up to my mates and draped myself over Eric's lap.  I could feel how happy he was with the my opening number.
