AN: Happy Easter! Finally we made it!

Chapter 35: An All-Girls Tea Party That Came Crashing Down

Pavilion/4:14 pm

Blake and Weiss have arrived at the tea party they were invited by Lily Lilac. What they see is something rather fancy for a little social tea party. They see a large table with white cloth on it and on top of the table were four types of flower vases. The first vase is colored pink and pastel blue with the flowers being pink roses, blue irises, and a small twig with pink cherry blossoms in full bloom to represent spring. The next vase is bone-white with snowflakes on it with the flowers being snowdrops, white roses, and black hellebore (christmas roses) to reflect the season of winter. The third vase has a green bottom but a sky blue top with the flowers being orange and yellow roses along with sunflowers, orange asiatic lilies and delphinium belladonna which is supposed to be summer. And the final vase that represents autumn is a golden color with red maple leaves and the flowers are red roses mixed with lavender, orange ranunculus blooms, and yellow gerbera daisies. They also see an assortment of plates and tea cups with painted cherry blossoms, sunflowers, maple leaves, and snowflakes for each part of the table. "Wow," Blake says in amazement, "this is quite the set-up." "I'm guessing the Four Maidens are her favorite fairy tale." says Weiss who noticed the connection between the theme and the story. Lily was setting up the last arrangement and noticed Blake and Weiss close to the table. "Greetings, ladies." she greets them with a warm smile. "And welcome to the party. Although you are early." she chuckles a little.

"Can we help you with the finishing touches?" asked Weiss who extends a helping hand. "But of course. I'll teach you guys how to make napkins look like roses." After finishing setting up, some of the off-worlders showed up along with the girls mentioned back in Chapter 33. The off-worlders that were invited were Chaika Trabant, Leafa, Asuna, Silica, Nekane Springfield, Konoka Konoe, Setsuna Sakurazaki, Ayaka Yukihiro, Kurumi Isoshima, Miu Furinji, Louise La Valliere, Charlotte de Gallia, Kirche Zerbst, Momorency de Momorency, Rias Gremory, Asia Argento, Akeno Himejima, all band members of both Tsurezure & Plasmagica, and Ruby Tojo. Everyone took their seats and ready for the festivities. "Good afternoon, ladies." Lily began, "I have invited you all here for a little get together for all of us to be friends since the Vytal Festival is about celebrating the diversities of the world. And now we are to not only celebrate the diversities of Remnant, but also our new friends from beyond our world. So I implore you all to extend a warm and welcoming hand to not only each other, but our visitors as well. And so, let the festivities begin!" All the girls gave an applaud to Lily's little speech. After the applause, Daru-Dayu asked, "What kind of tea will be served at this get together?"

Lily: "Glad you asked. There are four kinds of tea here at this table. The first is cherry blossom tea with a hint of strawberry extract. The second is green tea mixed with honey and lemon. The third is earl gray tea with a mixture of cinnamon and peppermint. The last is white tea with a mixture of wild feverfew and white rose extract."

Pepper was jumping up and down on her chair all excited, "Tell us about the rice cakes! Tell us about the rice cakes!" Although they look more like rice balls. Lily chuckled, "Easy there Pepper. I'm getting to that." Some of the girls chuckled at Pepper's excitement as if she was a little kid ready to go to a candy store. "Ahem. We have cherry blossom rice cakes with a strawberry cream filling. The next is green rice cakes with a lime cream inside. The third is red rice cakes with a pumpkin pie filling. And finally, white rice with eggnog cream inside of them with some chocolate. Inside these little sweets is a special prize and who ever finds the prize inside, will be crowned the Seasonal Maiden. And that is today's theme, the Four Maiden Fairy Tale. Please enjoy." Everyone was having a good time socializing and getting to know each other. Miu was snuggling the shy Cyan along with Daru-Dayu and saying how cute they are while Lily and Weiss have a conversation. "So Weiss," Lily began, "how are you holding up?" Weiss took a bite from her white rice cake and went, "Hmm?" before swallowing. "I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention."

Lily: "What I mean is, how are you holding up since some of the stuff that happened such as losing your family company?"

"Oh." Weiss puts her sweet down on her plate. "Before coming to Beacon, I was striving to live up to others expectations. I try to impress my father with my talents, but nothing worked. Even if I got a job at Atlas it wouldn't change anything. Which is why I chose Beacon. But now that my father is gone and the discontinuation of my family's company, I don't have to live up to the family's expectations anymore. I feel like a huge burden was lifted from my shoulders. But I'm also sad that I never get to hear my father say 'Well done' or 'I'm proud of you'. Right now, the Schnee family name means nothing anymore." Weiss was looking sad that she can't hear such things from her father. Lily comforts the former heiress and give her words of comfort. "Despite losing your company, you should count your blessings that you have now. You have good friends, your sister, your own path, and your health. Besides..." She taps her finger on Weiss' nose and smiles, "...those are the things you should be proud of. Plus your tea is getting cold so you should drink-up." Weiss laughed, "Alright. Maybe you're right."

Weiss drank her tea before taking another bite of her rice cake. However, she felt something hard while biting into it. "Ow!" she shouted in pain while placing some fingers over her teeth, "Something gave me a toothache!" Weiss pulled something out of the rice cake and shows a metallic snowflake. "We have a winner!" Lily shouted in delight. "Our Winter Maiden is: Weiss Schnee!" All the girls gave Weiss a huge applause as Lily placed a white plastic crown with blue gems on her head. After a while, Velvet found a metallic seed which she was crowned the Spring Maiden. Leafa found a metallic sunflower which she was crowned the Summer Maiden and Moa found a metallic maple leaf and was crowned the Autumn Maiden. "Ladies, we have our Four Maidens! Give them all an applause for being the victors of this little game!" "Wait a minute," Blake stood up and have her head looking up in the air, "do you all hear that?" Everyone stopped and listen very closely and hear what sounds like someone going "Weeeeeeeeeee!" and getting louder. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM! Something crashed landed into the pavilion with everything in disarray. Food all over the place, tea being spilled on the ground, tea cups and kettles smashed to pieces, some debris landed on the table that smashed it, and everyone was knocked down into the ground.

Iris: *getting up and rubbing her head* "Ow."

Chaika: *sitting up* "Chaika. Head hurt."

Ebony: *lying face-down & in a daze* "What the fuck was that?!"

Pepper: *face buried in a corner* "What the fuck?!"

Rias: *rubs her eye while getting up* "Is everyone alright?"

Louise: *lying on a ground, twitching* "I think I'm alright."

ChuChu: *getting up and holds her left arm and sounds upset* "I feel like a rainbow."

Moa: *sitting down with back against the fountain* "I think I'm okay, pyruru."

A & Un: *holding each other with Daru-Dayu between them* "We're okay."

Kirche: *lying down with her butt sticking up* "Just give me a minute."

Miu: *in shock* "Kitty? Kitty, where are you?"

Blake: *lying on the ground* "I'm okay, just don't cuddle me."

Lily: *looks around at the disaster* "What the hell happen to my party?!"

"Hahahahahahahaha! That was fun!" Everyone looked at the source of the laughter who happens to be sitting on top of Weiss. They see what appears to be a child with strawberry blonde hair with large red bobbles on her head. She has cerulean-colored eyes, wearing a one piece short jumpsuit bee-like design with stars on the lower half and on the sleeves, and red shoes. "Hi!" the child says as she stands up on top of Weiss, "My name is Peashy, but call me Pi!" Everyone in the area have no idea how to react as they stare at her. There is a child that crashed landed and caused such devastation to the party. Angry Joe, Ruby, and Yang showed up some time after with Ruby going, "Is everyone alright?!" Then they noticed the little girl standing on Weiss with Weiss groaning, "Pleeeeaaaasssseeee...get offffff...meeeeeee." The three stood there confused with Yang asking, "Okay, can someone explain what just happened?"
