Chapter 9 The Silver Mask
1:35 PM-
Jess sighed and walked down a long street. She was thinking about the Submarine Knight and James. She missed James. Why wasn't he back yet? Jess looked up at the wall of a building and saw a large poster. On it was written an advertisement for "The Silver Masked Ball."
"That looks interesting," said Jess. She read what was written on the side outloud. "For all those looking for lost friends come to the Silver Masked Ball."
Chas peeked out from behind the corner of a building and saw Jess reading the poster. Chas heard what Jess was reading off the poster.
'That sounds like an attack from the Dark Palace. I better go tell Kyle and Tom.' thought Chas. She walked down the street opposite from Jess. Along the way she met up with a familiar friend...
"Hiya Laura," grunted Chas. It was Laura the evil girl who spread the rumor about Jess.
"So Chasity what are you doing? Where is you little friends Jessith and Jameso."
"Hey! I'm going to go meet my friends somewhere. And don't call James and Jess names!"
"Why shouldn't I? I hate Jess right now. She spread the rumor about me. Now everyone thinks I'm unstylish. I need to find more style."
More style? She probably could be one of the soldiers of the Dark Palace if she was a Sailor Scout. Chas pushed Laura aside and continued walking. She soon reached the park. There was Dustin.
"I guess my news can wait," thought Chas and she walked up to Dustin and said 'hi.'
2:55 PM-
Tom was in the school-studying hall. He was working really hard to try and get some stuff for school. It was time for his break. Tom stood up and walked out of the building. He wanted to take a walk around school campus. When Tom was outside he saw Laura walking around the school. Tom wasn't paying attention after he noticed Laura and bumped into her.
"Hey watch where you're going!!! You clod! Are you trying to harm Stylish me?" asked Laura. Tom grunted and turned away. He walked as far as he could. Tom didn't like Laura. She was the one who was always a pain to Jess and spread rumors about James and Jess going out. Tom returned to the school building to study.
4:24 PM-
Kyle was all alone in his large house. Jess, Tom, and Chas hadn't come for the Great Mall Scout meeting. Where were they? Kyle was mad. He needed to go outside for a little to get some fresh air.
Kyle stepped outside his lonely empty mansion. This was really weird. It was only 4:30 and it was pitch black outside. The only light was the strange glow coming from a girl across the street. It was Laura from school. She was always trying to hit on him but he'd never like her. Laura right away noticed Kyle and ran up to him.
"Hi Kyle! I see you not with your friends," said Laura.
"Yeah. Your point?" asked Kyle.
"Well I was thinking we could gone on a walk," suggested Laura. She was now hanging onto Kyle's arm.
"Get off!"
Kyle pulled his hand away from Laura. Kyle tried to walk away from Laura but she grabbed on to his arm again.
"I said get off!" shouted Kyle. He couldn't break free from her grasp. She put her hands on his cheeks and kissed him. He felt as if his style was leaving him. Kyle pushed her away from him.
"Don't you get it? I don't like you! Go away! I have nothing to do with you! Go away!" shouted Kyle. Kyle ran away from Laura. He never wanted to see her again. Laura screeched. She stomped off angrier than ever.
It was several hours later. Jess was dressed in her best dress. She wore a mask over her face to hide her true identity. Her real mission at the Silver Mask Ball was to try and find James.
The ballroom was filled with masked people. They were all coupled up and dancing around. Jess felt so alone without a partner. She started having a flash back from her past. Visions of James...
**Flashback**
Jess was standing all alone on the dance floor. That slime bag boyfriend of her's had left her for Laura. Crystal tears rolled down Jess's face. Jess felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned slowly around.
There was James. He was there to comfort her. He was always there for her when she was down. He took Jess's hand and they began to dance. Jess soon cheered up.
"Oh James..."
**End of Flashback**
Jess felt a hand on her shoulder. Jess turned around like she had done before. "James..."
She saw it wasn't James behind her but a masked man in a tuxedo. He was wearing all blue. 'This guy looks so familiar' thought Jess.
"Care to dance?" asked the man. Jess nodded and she began to waltz with the man. This seemed so familiar to her. She couldn't put her finger on what this reminded her off. Jess looked at a nearby clock and saw what time it was. Only 6:45. She wondered how the others were doing.
It had only been 30 minutes when it happened. The whole room began to shake. Do to the earthquake Jess and the man were pushed into the balcony. Jess was getting close to the edge. She was almost over the balcony. Jess had to step back again. Jess grabbed the man's arm. They toppled over the side of the balcony and pummeled to the ground. His silver mask flew off. Jess could only see a little blur of his face and he transformed into....
