Akito, Estelle, and Vincent were visiting Felicity as it was a normal day and their parents were gone for a while.
"I wish we could go back in time for the Debutante Ball at Eloise's home," Estelle said. "It sounds so glamorous..."
"I can't find any time travel spells in my book..." Akito said. "I might not be looking hard enough though..."
Felicity looked back to her cousins. "What if I told you that my papa has a device to take us back in time?"
"We'd say that you're the best cousin ever!" Estelle smiled.
Felicity grinned and she ran down one hallway. Akito, Estelle, and Vincent then followed their cousin as fast and as the best they could.
Felicity came into her father's bedroom and tiptoed inside as her cousins followed behind her, following suit, she then came to a box that was by her father's enormous pipe organ, she clicked the box open and took out a locked up pocket watch and opened it to show them that it was no ordinary watch, but it could take them into different times. "Papa had this so he could visit Maman back when she wasn't allowed to have contact with him after I was born."
"Cool." Akito smiled.
"So, we can go to any time, any place, any day with that thing?" Vincent asked.
"Oui," Felicity nodded as she started to wind it up. "Just tell me when the Debutante Ball at the Plaza Hotel was and we will meet Eloise there."
"I think we should go a little before then, that way we have time to coordinate outfits and have a family reunion..." Estelle suggested.
"Yeah." Akito and Vincent agreed.
Felicity set the watch to about a week before the ball at the hotel and she had her cousins join hands so they could all travel back in time. Once they all joined hands, they were all ready to go back in time.
"Here we go!" Felicity called as she hit the top of the watch.
The four kids then disappeared in a bright light that took them back in time, but not too far back. Forte came into his music room with papers and looked around, feeling something off, but he was not sure what.
Akito, Estelle, Felicity, and Vincent ended up in New York City where their cousin had lived and they were in front of the Plaza as it looked quite busy on the outside so far.
"Looks like it worked." Estelle smiled.
"I just love New York..." Akito said. "The bright lights, the big buildings... It's a wonderful sight..."
"Hopefully we can go around okay... Stay close to me..." Felicity warned as she put the pocket watch in her dress pocket as they safely crossed the street as the doorman welcomed guests into the hotel.
"This is going to be so exciting." Estelle smiled.
The doorman nodded to the kids, then looked curious of the four children who were going around without adult supervision, but he didn't stand in their way.
They came into the lobby and looked around as guests were checking in and checking out, nearly flooding and swarming the lobby. The four kids kept looking all around for the blonde girl who was a permanent guest in the hotel and usually caused mischief and mayhem, but the employees were forced to endure it. Some of course liked Eloise, some did not, but either way, it was just how the city child lived.
"Where do you think she is?" Felicity whispered as she was nowhere to be found so far.
"If you were Eloise, where would you be?" Vincent asked.
Mr. Salamone walked up to a clock, he popped open the glass and put the hands back to the way they were before they had changed.
"Something wrong, sir?" Akito asked.
"Oh, somebody just thought it'd be funny to change the clocks..." Mr. Salamone rolled his eyes with emphasis about the 'somebody' and walked off to check an arrangement of flowers that was on a far by table.
"We must be close." Akito assumed due to how Mr. Salamone emphasized about shenanigans in the hotel.
"Wait, I recognize that voice." Mr. Salamone said.
Akito covered his mouth as he stood close with his siblings and cousin. Mr. Salamome turned to the four children.
"Bonjour...?" Felicity greeted nervously and shyly to the hotel manager.
"Hi, Mr. Salamone." Estelle greeted nervously.
"Well, hello there..." Mr. Salamone greeted. "Ms. Fudo's young family members, of course, you must be looking for Eloise..."
"Uh, oui," Felicity nodded sheepishly. "Do you happen to know where she is?"
"Ah, luckily for all of us, she is not awake yet, she's in her room, asleep," Mr. Salamone chuckled before getting gravely serious and unfortunate. "But knowing her, not for long..."
"Well, this is Eloise we're talking about." Akito said.
"Oh, yes, indeed..." Mr. Salamone sighed. "Elevator's that way..." he then pointed.
The kids gave their thanks as they then went to the elevator to meet their cousin.
"More unattended children and related to Eloise of all people..." Mr. Salamone sounded long-suffering as he walked off.
"By the way, Mr. Salamone, what day is it?" Vincent asked.
"Uh, Monday, why do you ask?" Mr. Salamone replied as he took a rose out from the flower arrangement and put it into his pocket.
"Oh, no reason, just wanted to know what day of the month it was." Vincent said.
"Well, we're expecting a big day..." Mr. Salamone shrugged.
The kids looked curious, but they then saw the elevator had come down, so they rushed onto it before it would go back up again.
"Sixteen, please." Vincent told Max.
Max nodded in silence and hit the top floor button, not speaking a word as usual.
"Do you ever speak?" Vincent asked, forgetting about how Max was.
Max glanced at him, then back at the door. Vincent glanced back, then shrugged.
The elevator then dinged as they came to the top floor and they scattered out, then looked to find the room they were looking for.
"Should we knock?" Vincent asked.
"It's polite, but they could be asleep." Estelle replied.
"Good point." Akito said.
The others shrugged, but flinched as Felicity was already knocking on the door.
We are shown inside the room as the blonde girl is asleep in her bed with a 'Do Not Disturb' sign around her neck and the room looks quite messy, a lot messier than it used to be. Weenie got up in his own bed and scratched off his own pink sleep mask as he heard a noise and went over to his young mistress's bed, passing a bowl of water which kept the turtle Skipperdy inside. And where she also seemed to have the Pokemon she got from the future. Weenie crawled up to the blonde girl's bed and licked her ear.
Eloise woke up with a small smile, sitting up in the bed as she gently stroked her 'dog who looked like a cat'. "I'm awake, you know what time it is, Weenie?"
Weenie smiled to her.
"It's time to wake up Nanny," Eloise smiled, then yelled at the top of her lungs. "NAAAAAANNNNNYYYY!"
Ditto jumped up and landed on Eloise's head. Eloise giggled right as Nanny woke up to the little girl's call, she then heard knocking at the door and decided to go see who it was real quick as she was in her pajamas and slippers. Ditto smiled down to Eloise as he clung to her head, taking the place of her trademark hair ribbon.
"Ditto, get down from there." Eloise giggled.
Ditto smiled down to her and crawled down.
Eloise then held her Pokemon in her hand as she opened the door to see who had come to visit her. "Hello, it's me, Eloise!"
"Hi, Eloise!" Her cousins smiled.
Eloise blinked in surprise. Ditto then looked over in equal surprise. Nanny got on her slippers and morning robe as she woke up to come to the little girl she cared for, then looked around as Eloise was not in her usual spot.
