It was October 31st and everyone was getting ready for the Halloween ball. Seto wondered what witches and wizards dressed up as for this ghoulish night. He personally was dressing up as a man of mystery from his favorite theater play 'The Phantom Of the Opera' and his date, Serenity, would be the beautiful leading lady Miss Christine Daae.
Serenity was getting ready in her dorm room. She wished Tea could be there to share in the fun but thinking of Tea only made her feel horrible about what happened.
There was a knock at Serenity's door and when she went to see who it was she was surprised by Mai's smiling face.
Mai was dressed as a maid. A super short puffed black pleather skirt and to was matched with a white apron, black gloves, fishnets, and black 5 inch stilettos. Everyone who had seen her was shocked but Serenity was used to the older girls ways and was not even remotely surpassed to see her dressed as she was.
"Hi girlly," Mai chirped, "I thought since no one was here to help you get ready I would come over and be of assistance."
"Thanks Mai," Serenity smiled happy to have some one distract her from her rather down train of thought, "I could really use some help. I had no idea how hard it would be to get into this dress."
"No problem," Mia said picking up one of many layers of clothing, " you should look your best for your phantom." She finished as if making a very large hint that she knew who Serenity was going to the ball with.
"What?" Serenity asked stupidly.
"You told me on Tuesday two weeks ago that you were going to the ball as Christine Daae from Phantom of the Opera, and I saw Seto getting dressed as the phantom on my way over here. Plus it is so obvious that you like him and he likes you, it is almost sick." Mai said helping Serenity into the first of three under-layers before the actual dress.
"You knew about me and Seto?" Serenity asked sounding slightly distressed.
"I knew about you and Seto before you and Seto knew about you and Seto." Mai said.
Serenity thought that sometimes a road map to Mai's sentences were necessary, for instance the sentence she had just spoken.
"Pleas don't tell Joey Mai. He would be so angry." Serenity's tone was a pleading one.
"I promise I wont but we are all going to be at the same ball, how are you going to hide from him there?" Mai asked.
"I don't know but Seto knows as well as I do that we have to keep this from Joey so hopefully it won't be hard." Serenity answered slightly glumly.
"I will keep Joey as occupied as possible for you, kay." Mai said cheerfully not wanting Serenity's first real date to get ruined.
By now Serenity just had the over dress to put on. The one that made the rest look good. She had done all of her makeup before getting dressed because she knew she would have a hard time doing it after she was dressed.
'Why did she have to pick such a covering dress. I would have worn less, and shown more skin.' Mai thought to herself.
"Because it is Christine's dress and I wouldn't be comfortable around Seto if I was showing too much skin." Serenity said in response to, what she thought was Mai's comment.
"What?" Mai asked in shock.
"You asked why I wore such a covering dress and why I didn't show more skin, didn't you?" Serenity said wondering why Mai looked so surprised.
"No, I thought that…" Mai trailed off the look on her face saying she was weirded out.
"You mean I can read minds?" Serenity asked also looking slightly scared.
"It isn't any weirder than what happened to me yesterday. I was sitting on my bed and I left my work book on my dresser and I was thinking about how nice it would be if I didn't have to get up to get it and it came flying over and landed next to me." Mai said thinking about the experience happily.
"Your telepathic Mai." Serenity said as she pulled on her long pail pink gloves.
Another knock came to Serenity's door and this time the person didn't wait for a response they just walked in. It was another first year Hufflepuff.
"We are going down to the hall now are you coming?" The Girl asked.
"Yes." Serenity replied.
Serenity and Mai's conversation ended there and they left for the hall with the rest of the Hufflepuff students.
Well that is the end of chapter 9 I am having a minor obsession with Phantom of the Opera right now so if you fined references in some of the chapters from here on out that is why. Well pleas R&R.
