The Grand Ball
Chapter 15: Preparations
It was next day before the ball begins. Everyone was waiting for the day to arrive. Tori had waited also as Iceman, his navi, were working with his father at the Water Works. Dex was waiting also and working at the #2 Curry shop with World Three. Gutsman worked also developing and putting more boxes at Cyber World to make the shop raise better. Yup, they were all ready and at the Ayano Mansion...
Ayano Mansion NOON
"Okay everyone! It's almost done!" Yai had a clipboard in her hand as she saw a couple of maids placing a lot of stuff on long tables.
The mansion looks so beautiful. Lots of bright colors surrounded the courtyards and flowers bloomed elegantly. Lights flashed for a test run so they wouldn't cause a fuse throughout the areas of Jawaii. But something was watching them. A camera was hidden in a small bush as it moved slowly as something moved.
Unknown Place 12:10
"Why are we doing this Master Shukun?" The navi asked. Master Shukun was watching the camera the whole time.
"Because this ball is the biggest update ever. And I know that the little girl will be there." He said angrily. He stared at his navi and grinned. The navi was startled with the glare.
"Master, why are you staring at me like that?" The navi asked.
"Because you will be helping me do this." Master Shukun shut down the screen where his navi was and the P.E.T was inside a slot of the machine the whole time.
"You will be gaining more power!" Master Shukun put the P.E.T in a large portal and electricity was cackling loudly.
"Now, show your true form...HAWKMAN!" Master Shukun pressed a square button and the electricity had shot the P.E.T.
Hawkman squawked loudly as feathers grew bigger and bigger making him stronger. It showed a lot of pain but it never hurt at all. As the electricity stopped Master Shukun smiled.
"Are you feeling better now? I never wanted to show your true form as the time comes. But you look powerful."
Hawkman now had a feather pendant that glowed shockingly. His wings spread as it showed its power. Half man...Half hawk...he was one of a kind.
"Now I feel-AWK better." Hawkman flew high in the Cyber World. He showed off a little bit until he landed gracefully on the ground.
"Hawkman. We will strike tomorrow at the ball!" Master Shukun laughed loudly. Hawkman grinned.
Ayano Mansion 12:30
"Yes! It's finally finished!" Yai twirled round and round and laughed as she fell in her bed.
"Miss Yai, we are BARELY done..." Glide sweatdropped.
"WHAT! What are we missing?" Yai sat up.
"You...you wanted to help Maylu right?" He asked. Yai's eyes widened.
"Oh right..." Yai shook her head with distress. "Get her in the P.E.T."
"Right away." Glide did as he was told.
Sakurai Residence 12:35
"This dress is just gorgeous." Maylu spread her dress in the bed.
"Maylu...you know that we have to return it after right?" Roll concerned.
"Yeah, I know Roll. But it's SO addicting!" Maylu held her mask until the P.E.T beeped.
"Maylu, it's Yai." Roll said.
"Oh. Put her in." Maylu asked. Roll did so and Yai popped into the screen.
"Hey Maylu. Did you get your dress?" She asked.
"Yes, Miss Yai." Maylu smiled.
"I can't wait to see it at the ball. Surprise me!" Yai exclaimed. "So..."
The response made Maylu pay attention more.
"What is it?"
"Have you told him yet?" Yai asked.
"N-No." Maylu made a frown.
"This is a perfect opportunity. You know that Maylu." Yai reasoned.
"I know. I'll tell him. I promise Miss Yai." Maylu said softly.
"Hmph. Very well. See you soon Maylu. Surprise me once again!" Yai went out of the screen.
Cyber World
"Will you do the same Miss Roll?" Glide asked after Yai.
"Yes. I promise." Roll did the same. It seems that Glide was also suspicious of a certain navi couple.
"Very well. I must be going." Glide kissed her hand like a gentleman and logged out of the P.E.T.
Roll sighed and Maylu did the same.
Ayano Mansion
/Gosh...Maylu is so dense.../ Yai thought as she lay in her bed.
/But...I know how she feels./ Yai stared at a picture of the Blaze Mansion that she took while sneaking around. She sighed.
/Chaud.../ Then Glide disturbed her once again.
"Miss Yai, we have to decorate the navi ball soon. We have to get moving." Glide said.
"Agree Glide. I'll be right down." Glide logged into the navi ball area as Yai went downstairs. She had so many thoughts right now.
Blaze Mansion 12:40
"Oscar, can I see the tux?" Calista had went to his room and Oscar was trying it on.
"Hold up. Can you wait?" He mumbled in a closet.
"Hey, I just want to see you!" Calista smiled. She had a camera behind her back. Armella giggled.
"Okay, I'm done." As Oscar opened the door his eyes widened.
"Cally, NO!" He blocked the camera with his hand. Calista snapped so many that she didn't notice that Lan was coming to the door.
"Hey what's-" Lan was about to say something until Calista blinded him with the flash. He rubbed his eyes.
"Oh geez! I'm sorry Lan!" Calista apologized.
"Uh...it's okay." Lan blinked a couple of times. Megaman hid behind his back and chuckled a few.
"Look can I take it off now?" Oscar pouted. He was not half bad. A red rose pin was attached to the side of his black tux. The black mask was very attracting.
"You look fine Oscar." Wrenchman joined the conversation.
"I...guess. But I'm changing anyway." Oscar went back to the closet. As he did Calista put down the camera.
"So is there something you want Lan?" Calista asked.
"Not really. Just wondering what you were doing." Lan smiled.
Couple of Minutes...
"I'm done." Oscar was panting as he went out of the closet. "And luckily you didn't see me inside. It was not pretty."
Calista and Lan laughed as sweatdrops appeared.
/I had to watch the whole scene.../ Wrenchman thought.
Anetta's House 12:50
"I can't wait till I wear this." Anetta held the dress high in the air. It was a golden dress that has a large neckline and her mask look like small leaves. She smiled happily as she waited for the day.
/Chaud/ She thought. /It has been a while/ She stared at the window and sighed.
/I can't wait to see everyone again/ She was finally home after the vacation. She laid down in her soft bed and closed her eyes to take a nap.
Jewelry Shop 6:00 PM
"I'm here." Lan had saw a purple shop when he was arriving home. There was something displayed on the window that Lan really wanted to give. He held the zenny in his hand and went inside to get it.
