The mistletoe was all coming down, well, except in Zack's room as Kyra learned from experience not to go in there. New Year's was fast approaching and the excitement was catching. There was lots of talk about the ball. It seemed as though everyone was going. It was rumoured to be HUGE. It appeared like everyday more people were checking in. The whole idea for New Year's was raking in big money. It was very obvious, Mosbey even let the twins see just how much toilet paper was really in a roll by throwing one down a hallway. That was normal around that time. But the next day Mosbey was lashing out at everyone for the tiniest things. After he barked at Sonia and London for blocking the door, they decided to go shopping. No one wanted to hear Mosbey yell twice. Kyra, who had slept in late, walked downstairs, everyone else was already up and away.
"Kyra!" screamed Maddie. Kyra ran over to the counter.
"What is it?' she asked.
"They're cancelling the masquerade ball!" said Maddie.
"What? Why?" asked Kyra frantically.
"Lack of funds, or something," said Maddie.
"No way!" They can't, I was so looking forward to it!" said Kyra
"Me too," Maddie frowned sadly.
"We'll do something about it," said Kyra. She racked her brain for ideas. "I'm not quite sure what, but we will make sure there's a ball," She whipped out her cell phone, generally only used for emergencies, but as far as Kyra was concerned, this was an emergency. She was guessing Meagan had left for a walk earlier that morning.
"Hello?" said Meagan's voice over the phone.
"Hey, Megan, it's Kyra. We have a huge problem."
"How huge?" asked Meagan worriedly.
"Like, off the Richter's scale huge," said Kyra. "You'd better get over here,"
"Okay, be there in a minute," said Meagan and then hung up. Kyra put the phone back in her pocket and sighed. What were they going to do?
Kyra was laying on the couch. They couldn't cancel the ball. Lack of funds? It made no sense, they had the impression that everyone in Boston was coming to the Tipton just for that event. Meagan ran in and over to Kyra.
"What's going on?" she asked. Kyra told her. "No!" she shrieked. "They can't! I'll never find out who's my secret admirer!" Kyra bit her lip. "We have to get everyone together for this. This is a disaster!"
At four o'clock sharp, Maddie, London, Kyra, Meagan and Sonia were all sitting in Sonia's room thinking. Long minutes passed with nothing, no ideas, no clue, no proposals, no plans, just nothing. Suddenly Sonia jumped to her feet.
"I know!" said Sonia triumphantly. Kyra smiled at her. She smiled because she knew that Sonia knew what she was doing and Sonia returned the smile because she knew that Kyra knew that she knew what she was doing.
