You follow Marrissa's instructions and watch the more experienced slave girl dancers. They demonstrate several different dance moves and Marrissa orders you to copy them. All of your training in obedience kicks in and you obey without hesitation. You feel a strange desire to please her, so you give it your all.

You step and twirl, doing your best to mimic the other dancers. You don't have enough training in dancing to do it flawlessly, but once again, your martial arts expertise and your handmaiden and ponygirl training gives you the grace and balance you need to avoid looking like a complete amateur.

"You're horrible." Marrissa scolds you, "But... you're not completely hopeless. In the three months that I have to train you, I think I can turn you into a first class dancer. You should be able to win this slave girl dancer part of the contest with flying colors."

Her comment reminds you about the contest. It feels like this contest has been going on forever. To the audience in the arena, the competition has only been going on for about an hour or so, however the time bubbles have made the experience much longer for you and the other contestants. The time bubbles are unpredictable so you don't know how much time has passed for the other contestants, but you spent an entire year being trained as a handmaiden and another three weeks being trained as a ponygirl. You've been a woman for so long that you're actually having trouble remembering what your male body looked like. If this contest lasts much longer, who knows what else you could start to forget? Unfortunately, this is only the 4th test and you remember hearing that there are a total of 7 tests in this competition, so you're only a little over half way to the end! Hopefully there will still be something left of your male mind when this contest is over. Assuming you win of course, otherwise you'll be spending the rest of your life as whatever type of slave girl whose test you fail.

You force yourself to push aside your troubled thoughts as Marrissa starts telling you every mistake you made in the dance. You obediently listen to her every word, then she tells you to try the dance again. You obey and follow the lead of the other slave girl dancers. When you finish, Marrissa tells you what mistakes you made this time, then she has you do the dance again... and again... and again.

...

Your three months of slave girl dancer training passes by. You learn so many dances and practice so much that you feel like you could dance in your sleep. Finally, the portal out of the time bubble opens and Marrissa leads you through it and back into the arena.

"The last contestant has finally returned, Ladies and Gentlemen!" The Announcer says, "It's time for the contestants to dance for our amusement! Then the judges will vote and the one with the lowest score will spend the rest of her life as a slave girl dancer. Now... we can't have dancing without music, so bring in the band!"

A small band enters the arena and starts playing a song. The panel of judges look at you and gesture you forward, looks like you're going first.
