Moving

Popular dance trend required to move abroad.

I you can't keep your feet still you can leave!

The six looked at one another and nodded as one.

What are the requirements to move abroad, Juan asked hopping around.

The teacher hesitated, he felt annoyed by the question, not once in his career he'd thought one of his students dared to ask how to leave planet Earth behind. It was what he always had in mind though.
Silence wasn't what he'd expected as 6 pairs of eyes followed him as he walked to the window and stared outside. His threat had never stimulated anyone to give it a try elsewhere.

I'll give you a checklist but...he looked at the dancing couples, if you leave you can never return and those shoes... He pointed at their feet, these are the last ones you received... There's no guarantee you will make it, try if this is what you want for you. No one knows if popular dance trends exist or if you will be the trendsetter.

At the bottom of the closet was the folder with everything one needed to know. It was not much but it was clear enough that whoever put his cross was extradited.

You can choose from 3 planets grab a suitcase and make sure you leave before dawn of the next day otherwise the party will be over. Read the small letters printed underneath this contract. Leaving comes with a price tag you all should know that. Only nothing comes for nothing.

Read? Why read when it only takes a cross to dance through life? At the moment they all signed the light in their dominant eyes was killed.

No problem, Julia said, a white eye is pretty cool and we can feel the music and every dance is innate to us.

Dancing, they headed for the platform. The planets looked nearby and huge just like in a dream. The sky was full of planes, travellers just like them on their way to another destination. Dancing, they made their way to the gate.

You are late, said the steward,check in, please.

Energetically they danced inside, the adventure was within reach and they were prepared.

It took a flash to wipe out what was left of them. That hope of starting over on another planet? There was nothing. Those tiny letters said: No soul leaves this globe by choice.
