The next day came and where Eloise opened up a lot of presents. Everyone else came, though Eloise and Nanny were still in their pajamas. Nanny smiled as Eloise took out a blue coat.
"Oh, Nanny, I absolutely love you so much!" Eloise hugged. "Thank you so much for all these presents!"
"You know how I love to shop." Nanny smiled.
"These presents look amazing." Felicity smiled.
Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity soon gave their own presents.
"Thanks, guys." Eloise smiled as she opened their presents.
Estelle gave ballet shoes that Rarity had designed, Akito gave a journal that came with a sparkling pink gel pen, Felicity gave Eloise a book on music, and Vincent made Eloise a portrait he painted himself.
"I absolutely love, love, love them!" Eloise smiled.
This made the others smile to them.
"But you know, I don't feel any different now that I'm seven." Eloise then said.
"You have been saying 'I am seven' for weeks, maybe you're just used to it." Nanny chuckled.
"That's right." Estelle giggled.
"I just know this is gonna be the best birthday ever," Eloise smiled. "Did my present come from Mother yet?"
"Not yet," Nanny smiled back. "She called three times before you woke up to call and check on it though."
Akito soon gasped as he realized the time.
"What time is it?" Estelle asked.
"It's ten minutes to 11:00," Nanny checked the time. "Why?"
"Uh, we have to do something at 11:00." Vincent said.
"Gotta get dressed," Eloise said. "Out, out, everyone out!" she then put Skipperdee on Weenie's back.
"I'm staying." Ditto said.
"All right, but don't watch." Eloise warned her Pokemon.
Ditto turned the other way as Eloise got dressed. Once Eloise got dressed, Ditto got onto her head.
Nanny read the newspaper as Eloise and the others ran to the door.
"Oh, where exactly are you going?" Nanny called out.
"I told you, down to the lobby so everybody can wish me a Happy Birthday!" Eloise replied. "I'm sure they're all wondering why I haven't been down there yet."
"Oui, and we're going to be with her." Felicity added.
"Just stay out of trouble, children," Nanny warned. "And I am serious, serious, serious."
"We will, Nanny," Eloise replied. "We promise, promise, promise."
They then followed Eloise as she went to use a phone, and where she soon grabbed the phone.
"Aww!" the others pouted as they wanted to use the phone.
Eloise stuck her tongue out as she dialed a number and used the phone and used a posh accent. "Uh, yes, this is the concierge... May I please speak to Mr. Walter Zanger?" she then asked.
Ditto began to listen in to the phone call.
"There is a package down here for you." Eloise said once she reached Zanger.
'A package for me?' Walter replied. 'Well then, have someone send it up!'
"Yes, normally we would, but there is a pretty young woman down here who insists you come down here." Eloise bribed with a smirk.
'That should catch his attention.' Ditto thought to itself.
Walter was won over by the offer of a pretty young woman, he soon left Yuko alone and told her to keep practicing.
"Grouchy butt." Yuko muttered quietly as she held her violin while Espeon pretended to be asleep.
Once Walter left, Espeon opened her eyes to show she wasn't really asleep. Yuko put her instrument down and pet Espeon with a smile until Eloise and the others would come once it was 11:00 on the dot, and where they did indeed come over on time. Walter soon left in the elevator and complained to Max on the way down to the lobby. The Pokemon came to Espeon which made her and Yuko come out to the others. Espeon of course went straight to Larvitar. Larvitar felt nervous as Espeon came toward him.
"I think you have a new friend." Akito teased Larvitar.
"Then why do I have this weird feeling whenever I see her or whenever she nuzzles me?" Larvitar asked.
"How weird?" Akito asked.
"Like my heart is always pounding and my face turns red." Larvitar said.
"Hmm... Does it feel like someone just punched you in the stomach?" Akito asked.
"Yeah, also like it's filled with Butterfrees." Larvitar nodded.
"Oh, my gosh... Larvitar, you're in love!" Akito gasped since he felt those exact same ways around Emi.
"R-Really?" Larvitar asked before he felt Espeon nuzzle him again.
Espeon smirked playfully to Larvitar and even winked to him. Larvitar blushed once more and soon knew his father was right.
"My Pokemon is in love..." Akito muttered.
Vincent stared out the window as they were on their way to have a tour of the Plaza Hotel led by Eloise.
Jenny wore her party dress while Oliver wore a blue bow tie and Georgette had her fur done as they were coming to the hotel themselves for Eloise's birthday party.
"This is so exciting." Oliver smiled.
"It's going to be such a wonderful affair." Georgette agreed.
"Best behavior, guys." Jenny reminded as she came through the doors of the Plaza Hotel.
"Good day, to you." Charlie greeted the redheaded girl.
"Good day, Charlie." Jenny greeted back with a smile.
"I trust you're here for the party, huh?" Charlie smiled back.
"Oh, of course, and of course to see Vincent and the others before the party." Jenny said before she sweetly curtsied which made Oliver bow after her.
They soon went off to find Eloise and the others.
Georgette glanced at Zanger as he found the concierge who told him there was no pretty young woman or package for him which made him frustrated. She may had just seen that man, but she seemed annoyed with him as she rolled her eyes.
"Do you know that man?" Oliver asked.
"No, but he seems like a real grouchy butt." Georgette mumbled.
Zanger soon started to panic as he ran to the stairs to run back to the suite that Yuko was in. To his fear and surprise, Yuko was not there and her violin case was left open. It made it even worse as Yuko's parents and Sakura came, expecting to pick up Yuko to take her to the Hall for her concert debut.
"Our first stop is the Crystal Room," Eloise began. "I like to come here early to help the busboys and the waiters get set up. They always wait until the last second for lord's sake! And then we have to brush our feet off, but since I'm giving you the tour, they'll have to get by without me today."
A waitress soon came over to the kids with a tray. "Hi, kids, caviar?" she then offered.
The kids accepted the caviar and decided to try it to see if it was any good, and where to them, it didn't taste good at all. Once a tray full of napkins came by, the kids soon grabbed one for each of them so they could spit out the caviar they just ate.
They then came into another room where a wedding was going on.
"I go to all the weddings in the White and Gold room," Eloise then said. "And I usually stay for the reception."
Everyone at the wedding soon shushed Eloise.
"Sorry! Maybe we can skip this one." Eloise said nervously.
They then left the White and Gold Room.
"I wonder how Zanger is doing freaking out?" Akito smirked.
"He's probably having a heart attack." Estelle giggled.
And where they were right as he soon knocked on Eloise's door. He even rapidly buzzed the doorbell.
Nanny opened the door, about to scold Eloise since she only did that, but saw who it actually was as Atticus and Mo came to visit to go to the Palm Court with her when it would be time for Eloise's party. "Eloise, how many times have I-Oh... Mr. Zanger, how may I help you?"
"I-I'm looking for Yuko, have you seen her?" Walter asked anxiously.
"Oh, sorry, I haven't." Nanny replied.
"Can we help you?" Mo asked Walter.
"Erm... I'm looking for Yuko..." Walter replied. "Is Eloise here?"
"May we ask why?" Atticus narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Well, I stepped out of the suite for about two minutes, and when I returned, Yuko was gone and so was her cat," Walter explained, thinking Espeon was a regular cat and wasn't aware of her abilities. "And since Eloise and the others are the only ones in the hotel Yuko even remotely knows-"
"I see, you left Yuko alone and now she's gone." Nanny blamed him.
"That's not a very smart thing to do." Mo scolded him.
"Well... Yes..." Walter stammered nervously.
"And you thought you'd come here and accuse our children of being responsible." Atticus added.
"NO!" Walter's eyes widened. "Well... Yes... I'm sorry, I just need to find her. She's supposed to leave for the concert in a little while and her parents have no idea she's missing yet. May I at least speak to the kids?"
"Well, for your information, we don't know where the children are." Atticus said.
Walter soon developed a headache.
"I'll help you look," Nanny decided as she took out a leash. "Weenie!"
Weenie looked over from the couch and ran to Nanny as the leash was hooked onto his collar. Atticus and Mo both got the rest of the pets on their leashes as well.
Meanwhile back with the kids...
"Oh, Eloise, this room makes me feel like a princess..." Felicity smiled.
"This is the Grand Ballroom." Eloise informed as she combed her hair with a fork reminiscent of Ariel when she was a mermaid.
"Yeah, they usually host important things in this room." Estelle said.
"It is so very busy here!" Yuko was amazed.
"Sometimes, if they're having an enormous affair, I come here early to help Joe set up the lights in the ceiling." Eloise smiled as she combed her hair.
"She can be very busy here." Akito said.
"You are doing very much in the hotel, yes?" Yuko nodded to Eloise.
"Yes, I go where I'm needed." Eloise smiled as she finished combing her hair.
"Maybe we should ski... Skid..." Yuko tried to use Eloise's catchphrase, but the word escaped her.
"Skitter along?" Estelle guessed.
"Yes, let's~" Eloise agreed as she then took them to the laundry room which reminded Akito, Estelle, Vincent, and Felicity of when Eloise took Leon here only for the laundry to turn pink since his school uniform was mixed in with white sheets.
Meanwhile, the adults were now down in the lobby.
"Don't worry, Mr. Zanger," Nanny told Walter as she walked Weenie. "They're all together wherever they are, but you can rest assure that Eloise will be back in the Palm Court by 4:00. There's no way she'd be late for her own party."
"That's right." Mo nodded.
"Well, that's fine, except it's already 2:30 and Yuko is supposed to be leaving for Carnegie Hall in half an hour!" Walter panicked.
"Mr. Salamone, have you seen the kids?" Mo asked the hotel manager.
"No, Mrs. Fudo, I haven't," Mr. Salamone replied. "And as you're aware, the hotel does not pay me nearly enough money to keep track of them, especially Eloise. Why?"
"Eloise said she was going down to the lobby at 11:00, and I haven't seen her or the others since." Nanny informed.
"Can you help us find them?" Atticus asked.
"I'm sure they'll turn up, they always do," Mr. Salamone replied calmly at first. "Now, if you'll excuse me..."
"Uh, I assume you haven't seen Yuko either?" Walter put his hand on the man's shoulder. "She's missing too."
"YUKO IS MISSING?!" Mr. Salamone flipped out.
"That's right." Mo nodded.
"I'd shudder to imagine Darla's response if she found out you lost her daughter." Atticus reminded Mr. Salamone of his little sister, and where this seemed to make the hotel manager go wide-eyed.
"And upstairs is the Oak Room," Eloise said on the way to the laundry room. "But they don't particularly like children... I guess it's okay if you're looking for a broken mint or something..." she then looked over and beamed. "Rose! Esperanza!"
"Eloise!" The maid sisters smiled and hugged the girl right away.
"Yuko, this is Rose and her sister Esperanza," Eloise introduced. "They are absolutely the bestest laundry ladies in the whole hotel. This is Yuko: The world famous violin player."
"And we're giving her a tour of the Plaza." Estelle added with a smile.
"Yes, we heard all about Yuko," Rose chuckled. "It's very nice to meet you."
A certain girl soon came into the room as well.
"Margarita!" Eloise beamed.
"Eloise!" Margarita beamed back.
The two friends soon came into a hug as a Minccino came beside the Hispanic girl.
"Aw! A Minccino." Estelle smiled as she pet it while Felicity used her Pokedex to find out more about the Pokemon.
Minccino smiled up to Estelle and quietly trilled while nuzzling up against her with its warm and fuzzy fur.
"Minccino: The chinchilla Pokemon; they greet each other by grooming one another thoroughly with their tails, these Pokémon prefer a tidy habitat. They are always sweeping and dusting, using their tails as brooms." Felicity's Pokedex informed her.
"Yes, Minccino is a good help." Esperanza giggled to her niece's Pokemon.
"Yuko, this is Margarita," Eloise introduced. "Rose's daughter. And my very excellent friend. Margarita, this is Yuko."
"It's nice to meet you." Margarita smiled as she shook Yuko's hand.
Minccino even came up to meet Yuko.
"Are you coming to Eloise's party?" Margarita asked the Japanese girl.
"I would like to, but I cannot." Yuko frowned.
"She has a violin concert to attend to." Akito said.
"She's the star, tonight!" Vincent added in.
"You guys are coming to the party, right?" Estelle asked the maids.
"Of course, that is why Margarita is here!" Esperanza smiled. "Now we have to get our work done so we can be there at 4:00. See you there! Good luck tonight, Yuko!"
"Vamonos, Minccino!" Margarita told her Pokemon.
Minccino soon hurried over to his trainer.
"Thank you!" Yuko giggled as they went off to start cleaning.
"I love to go down here, let me show you the laundry room." Eloise smiled as she went ahead.
"I hope we don't get locked in." Vincent said.
Eloise led them into the room, only for them to get locked in without even knowing it, unfortunately.
