Sample part- Lively's Dance

Okay, so I just wrote a really fun segment for Lively. I'll give you some setup and you could read it.

So there's a fairy festival taking place where each person gives something to the festival, whether it be prepared or made up on the spot. For this segment, Lively is presenting her gift to the fairies:

“Lively,” Tiger Lily called out, “It’s your turn.”
       All eyes turned to her as she swiftly rose from her seat. She glided towards the center of the circle, her hands behind her back. Foxtail watched in awe as she leapt towards the center circle.
“I’d like to present to the Lovely Queen of the Fairies, a song and dance.”
She called to the wind to play the song they practiced. She saluted to the fairies as the trees started the symphony. The whole island heard flutes, horns, drums and fifes of other worlds. An orchestra of phenomenal sounds enveloped the universe. A song was heard in the ears of millions of children, and half of the world smiled at the same time.
       Then Lively began to dance. She positioned her feet at a graceful angle, her hands beside her slender body. Her pirouettes followed her high steps as she leapt above the fires. She circled the world with every spin and danced to the beat she felt inside. She cartwheeled, jumped, spun, jitterbugged, shimmied, swung her feet and waved her hands in intricate moves, as if making it all up.
       The rest of Neverland joined in. First, Foxtail, Buckeye and Morning Sun. Then Tinker Bell and Fireflyer, then Tiger Lily and Soaring Eagle, and the rest of the soldiers. Peter Pan flew above with his flute playing at full blast while Queen Mabs and the fairies flew in tight circles around the procession. The whole island danced as Lively’s song intensified above the world. An artist got inspired in Greenwich Village. A composer found a melody in the East End. A certain mermaid princess and her servants danced in moonlit lagoons before rushing to investigate the sounds. A boy and his crocodile suddenly felt curious to where the sounds came from and even danced along as they floated towards the sound.

       By the time the set ended, they each had danced when the other wasn’t looking. Faires got so excited they sprinkled their explosive dust over the flames, shooting up fireworks over the whole island, setting the sky ablaze with bright pinks and reds mixed with yellows and golds. The whole world felt happier, and the universe was grateful.
