"So you all know what time it is, B ball time! Not basketball, sorry but if I was ever going to be involved with that. I'm going need some lucky shorts and a boombox, also a funky afro to show off the conpetitors. What I mean, is tonight night is the Neon Lights's Ball, the party that involves three theme'a and has everyone bringing out their wicked and royal side. Now, while my friends and theirs were busy on the party, you all were focused on me going about and making sure nothing bad happened. So far it's been good, met a couple of guys that tried to kill me. Met familiar faces that are with us, and of course. You saw a bit of romance between me and Evie, with all the things that happen to me, I'll never ignore my girl's needs. So you can see why, I'm being used as a pun cushin for her due to her wanting to give me. the suit I'll wear tonight."
In the dorm rooms, Trick was stretching his arms while standing completly still along with having Evie measuring his arm length and size.
Trick: "So E, I was wondering about something tonight."
Evie: "Ugh yeah?"
Not paying attention that much as she was clearly focused on his arm length, she heads off to his jacket as it was dark green with some stitches on the side for style. She comes back and looks at his shoulder size.
Trick: "When the party is over, I was thinking. We could come to my dorm, I lock the doors, pull out a fresh bowl of apples. Get some twizzlers and renact Lady and the Tramp?"
Evie: "Easy there, we don't got anyone to play a recordian if you plan on doing that."
In which he pulls out a small like recorder as Evie got curious, he soon plays it as she heard the italian singer coming off it.
Evie: "Already prepared I see. Though that might have to wait until I win the queen of the ball."
Trick: "Oh that? Shouldn't be that hard. Unless Audrey tries to out fair..."
Before speaking, he looks seeing her giving the orange skin boy a glare which resembled her mothers. He stopped speaking seeing how she did not want to hear the rest of his sentence.
Evie: "Well, I could win if you help me. Which is why I need you here at all time, so that I can work on your suit, make up and most of all.."
She spins him around as the blue haired VK lifts his chip up making his eyes look at her's.
Evie: "Keeping you here to myself, you've been going off giving all those punks attention while not for me."
Trick: "Well I am quite popular, but. If my fair Evie wants me here, then I'll be here."
Making her the promise as she smiles in joy as she continued to work on his suit. He really kept still as he felt her hands all around him as he had the nerve to do the same, but he had to stay still for her to continue her measurements.
Evie: "Now, since we have this time to ourselves. I was curious about your business as well you doing your assignments around everywhere. Did you have time doing your classes?"
Trick: "Of course, Miley's been helping me for a while now. Though in exchange, I had to help her with some athletic movement. She wants to try to do some stunts, don't worry. I didn't teach her anything that might make her bend in a different way."
Making it sound strange as well inappropriate as she went over to a small heart like box and pulls it out, it showed a an interesting like mask that was dark emerald with orange like eyes.
Trick: "Oh, I like it. It's very modern, what gives?"
Evie: "Well, seeing as how this is our first night as a couple. I wanted to make sure that people know that your mine, plus the fact I knew you like it. You did want me to stay wicked. What's more wicked than making a new mask? Also that it has to match your suit."
Telling him as she soon grabs his shirt and coat as he soon begins to button himself up, he looks at himself in the mirror as he had a uncertain like expression on his face that he didn't know what he was looking at. Was it that of a changed teen, or that if given a chance, he could have been normal. Suddenly coming from behind was Evie as she was holding him from behind as he felt her arms.
Evie: "You quite look tasty in this suit, maybe you can show the people at the dance how stylish you look."
Trick: "I could, or maybe better yet bring my lovely blades to be more stylish."
Evie: "Oh come on, do you need the accessories?"
Looking at him with a curious face as he nodes towards as he does a small kiss on her nose. Though as soon as they were sharing a moment, her phone soon rings. The two groan as she walks over and answers it, Trick looks back at the mirror as he places the shirt and coat back on the hanger while putting on his regular clothing on.
Evie: "Well, the girls need me to talk to them at the café. You think I can trust you on your own?"
Trick: "Ugh yeah? I mean I have been able to take care of myself whenever I'm on my own."
Crossing his arms together which she gives him a questionable like look, though she could trust him as she heads to her and Mal's closet to pull out a suitcase as the orange skin teen looked curious at it.
Trick: "Damn girl, what you bringing? Is it my emergency swords that David let me, 'burrow'? Because I think Zeus needs to come out sometimes to have some fun."
Reminding him about his storm like sword he used to fight his father, she shakes her head as she opens it up showing helmets.
Evie: "Emergency hair helmets, just for when we ride on Jay's carpet. I don't want my friends and especially myself to have messy hair."
Trick: "Smart, so I guess you want me to go and find Jay and Carlos?"
Evie: "Well they can handle themselves, their just picking up their suits. What you can do is join Harold and the others, he needed your help with getting everything ready."
Explaining to him as she gives him a quick kiss on the check before leaving as he waves off to her, the boy soon grabs a cover as he zippers up his tux to make sure it didn't get dirty. Though, it was always good to be safe than sorry as he pulls out two of his blades out and puts it in the bag. He soon walks out to head over to the heroes in training as he takes out a emergency key he was given. He opens it where he walks inside looking around as he notices some claw marks while he see's Claw, Scar's son as well Harold seating side by side with scratches as well looking like the two were in a fight.
Claw: "Don't ask, just know wonder boy wanted to slick my hair and make sure it was nice."
Harold: "I'm sorry, do I have to keep saying that for the rest of the night?"
The demi god asking as the orange boy merely nods as he places his tux on the side as he goes into the fridge to get food as Harold looks to see him doing it.
Harold: "So I guess your here to see what you can help us with? Which getting the transportation ready, the girls are doing their hair which will take a while.."
Before he could finish, Trick raises his finger as he was right now having some chili in a bowl.
Trick: "Women, plural?"
Claw: "Yeah, Miley insisted on going to Ruby since she was a expert on bundling her hair together since she had a style for it. While wonder boy here was trying to get my hair ready because, I'm going out with Freddie tonight."
As the masked boy looks at the lion doing a small like laugh towards him.
Trick: "Dude, the journalist people are going eat this up. The shadow daughter hooked up with the dark lion of the jungle, talk about your team ups. But seriously, you two look good together. Your claws are quite sharp."
Doing a complement for his favorite feline VK as the lion merely does a growl at him making the masked Oogie walk away from him. Though he notices a familiar pair of light blue legs coming down the stairs, wearing a interesting like gown which was red and yellow that had a holiday like theme as coming down was Ruby who was in a light purple gown with yellow strands around her.
Trick: "Ladies, if I knew you do this for me. I'd definitely would have brought Evie over."
Ruby: "Keep talking, and I'll remove that mouth so E doesn't hear you talk like that, besides. I'm already with Harold."
Telling the boy as she walks over giving the orange haired demigod a hug, though he turns to see Miley having a nervous expression as she rubbed her arm.
Trick: "What about you? Going out with anyone?"
Miley: "Um, actually. I was going solo, thought I could help Lonnie with the DJ systems."
Telling him in which he notices a small accessory to her dress, it was a hand bag which he nods to her as well nudges his head to the side where they could talk in private. They were by a portrait of Jack skellington as he grabs her back to look into it.
Miley: "Hey what are you.."
Trick: "When you want to try and not act suspicious? Don't show it in the open."
As he soon looks and finds none other than small like holiday like star, he gives her a expression in which she puts it back in her bag.
Miley: "It's for protection, last night. I had this strange vision, like something was going to happen at the Ball. I wanted to be ready, I may not agree with the lifestyle you chose which made me be a part of it. It does have some advantages."
Ruby: "Which is why were keeping it a secret."
Coming from a blonde haired girl which the two see Harold along with the others as Trick turned his head as Harold, the boy scout was holding his two swords which the Oogie teen merely lets out a smile.
Trick: "What? I should be the one! To bring he violent stuff in I mean."
Harold: "As I see, though Miley is bringing small like stars. Your bringing blades to a ball, something I don't think that isn't necessary."
In which he puts the blades in the closet as well handing him his suit as Trick merely groans at him as he walks away to get dressed while the others looked at Miley.
Miley: "I just want to be ready for anything."
Harold: "And will help, even if some of us prefer to do it the more. Violent way."
The two spoke in a confident like manner making sure nothing would ruin their night as well nothing bad happens. The rest of the group soon began to get their gowns and tux's on as Miley was looking back at the school. Claw, being the new VK but also not the talkative type walks over to the rag doll.
Claw: "You really think something will happen eh?"
Miley: "A little, my visions are never that serious. I'm still practicing, but I know we can handle it."
Being optimistic as the lion soon decided to ask for her help in which she agreed with a smile as the two went off to continue getting ready as for in the forest, was a small group of strange like bugs. They made some noises as well did a evil like glare in which they weren't the friendly type as they went into the shadows going to do something diabolical for tonight's ball.
The evening of the day, everyone was ready as the four were ready as well waiting for Trick as he was sleeping on the couch in his suit in which Evie made. So far he was able to not get it dirty since he was hungry, he had a buffet of some snacks. In which he didn't lay a spot of food on his jacket on pants, Harold looks at him as he wakes him up.
Harold: "Come on, we got to get going. Jay and Carlos should be picking us up on the carpet."
Trick: "Really? Where's David at?"
He asked as the two soon headed to the door, while Harold wasn't looking he quickly goes to the closet and finds his swords. He places his set on his back and walks with the demi god outside. They see the others in their ball clothing as well standing in the front of the house waiting for their friends.
Harold: "He had a special job, was taking the king and queen to meet up with some royal members. But Jay and Carlos should be here by now."
Ruby: "Well they aren't, I know Carlos can be trusted but Jay? He makes me want to keep my phone locked up."
Trick: "Hey, he ain't no street rat. He's a natural thief, with the grace of a scorpion and the muscles of a body builder."
Telling her as the five waited for any sign of the two or a carpet as they soon heard some honking as they notice that it wasn't a carpet, but a orange small like car as inside they saw none other than Jane. They looked at her curious thinking that she wasn't the one they expect as she parks right in front of them.
Claw: "If this is what the kingdoms best like vehicles. Then I'm heading back to the jungle."
Jane: "Sorry, but we didn't see Jay or Carlos with the carpet. So, I had to make this. I'm here to pick you up."
She told the lion in a nervous like manner in which he sniffs her a bit as the girl got frighten by his appearance making her squeak in fear. The lion heads inside of the car as she felt like he could have eaten her in a second.
Ruby: "Don't mind him, he's just a big kitty cat."
Telling her as they headed inside of the car as Trick, the last one didn't in which he thought about what Jane spoke about as he stood their.
Trick: "You guys go, I'll catch up. I'll see what those knuckleheads are up to."
Insisted on going after Jay and Carlos as the group knew he was going try to find them, Harold nodded to him trusting his decision as the orange skin teen soon walks back towards the cleaners where he would go looking for the boys. After a long walk, Trick was close to the dry cleaners as he heard some footsteps. They sounded like running as he relaxed his senses, he grips his handle slowly as he steps around a tree in which pulls out his sword about to cut someone until he notices Carlos who lets out a girlish like scream.
Carlos: "What's your problem T?!"
Trick: "You sneaking up on me, why are you and sleeveless wonder doing out here? Plus the fact did you guys forget to pick up the girls as well possibly let Audrey talk about Evie? Because while I was walking, I had a strange like feeling that she was."
Jay: "Well I think you took care of that after the coronation, you placed a whole box of stink boxes in her closet as well a stuffed animal of a bug which glowed in the dark making her scream so loud. It had blue birds explode?"
Trick: "That was the only time anyone from here could do something that awesome."
Pointing at the two of them as well payback for how Audrey talked at Evie on the first day, in which he delivered his brand of 'payback'.
Trick: "I take pride in that, also that what happened to the carpet?"
Carlos: "Well, as soon as we were about to head out. Someone or something pulled the rug off our feet, literally."
Telling him as Trick made a questionable like look towards him not falling for it in which he soon notices something. He goes to Jay's foot and examines it as well the thief looked at him curious like as well confused.
Jay: "Ugh, did I step on something? I'm right now keeping track of what I kick when I'm playing a sport with the boys."
Trick: "Well, I guess you can consider scarab stomping a new sport."
Advising him in which the bug he stepped on was the same type of bug his father had within himself as well the type that would do something shifty. Carlos looks at it and gets grossed out in which case the sight was a bad omen.
Carlos: "That's a Oogie bug, your saying that a bug took the carpet?"
Trick: "No, I'm saying a swarm did. A rather angry one, in that case. We might be in trouble, very much in trouble."
Telling the two as he squishes the remains and wipes it on Jay's shoulder as the three soon rush towards the ball to stop whatever that is coming towards their friends as they could tell these bugs were out for revenge for their fallen master.
Right at the ball, the teens were enjoying their time as well dancing with one and other, as well obvious Evie won Neon Lights Ball pageant as she was crown queen while Ben. Was crowned king, she was right now admiring her fake crown which looked nice while Mal and Ben were dancing close together. Mal looks over seeing if Evie was ok as she had a sadden like expression seeing her best friend a bit upset and happy at the same time.
Mal: "I can't believe that Trick didn't come, as well the boys. It doesn't make sense."
Ben: "Maybe he was trying to find Jay and Carlos. The two do often get into scraps right?"
Mal: "You might be right."
Answering him as right now they soon see Jane along with the others coming inside to join the party. Freddie, who was right now being bored notices the now well groomed lion claw as she walks over to him.
Freddie: "So ugh, you look fierce."
Claw: "Same to you, although. This is my first party."
Telling her in a nervous tone as the two stood quiet, the two soon walk to the dancefloor to begin their dance while CJ. Who was crossing her arms watched at the two as she looked a bit jealous at the fact she was dancing with a muscular lion type VK.
"I hope I can find a shipmate like that, maybe like a crocodile. No wait, dad hates them. Which makes it perfect."
Thinking to herself as soon enough, Evie saw Harold walking with Ruby and Miley as she walked over to them to see if they knew where Trick was.
Evie: "Do you guys know where Trick is?"
Miley: "He's looking for Jay and Carlos. Jane picked us up instead of them."
Telling her which was a strange coincidence as she and the girls weren't picked up, now they weren't.
Harold: "Maybe the carpet got torn, most carpets don't handle fast and thrilling. I've seen how Jay rides them."
Which had Evie merely kept quiet to herself as they soon continued to enjoy the party, not knowing that in the shadows was something looking at them. Above the ceiling was dark colorful like eyes looking down upon the students as they remained silent until they would strike.
