"Alright... Since this little chocolate fight is over, let's continue this!" Hope said, standing on the cafeteria's stage.
Hope was in her human form, wearing the same clothes from before. Everyone in the cafeteria look at her, waiting for her final performance of the day. There was a big smile on her face, then she sing for everyone to hear.
Hope: You begin to run in the rain
On the wet asphalt
Stripped something of my heel,
Yet I'm still drenched...
The song she sang didn't really sound like a song for Valentine's Day, and yet it somewhat suits as a song for someone else we might know (or at least to me anyway).
H: Slipping through the headlights,
I chase after you
I don't give up,
Through the klaxon call your name
Apetrully barely touched his cake, sitting at one of the tables as he felt rather depressed since he wasn't able to confess to Hope.
H: You, For, Is why I live
Something for love,
It's the last muse
Apetrully look at the stage where Hope was performing and notice Hope holding a heart-shaped mask that was half pink and half white.
H: Cowardly, Masquerade
My true feelings, are always masked
So that you're not hurt
I gave a goodbye
Forgive me, Masquerade
I realized too late
Don't hold back
At the Midnight Party
The commander blinked as Hope dance around with her mask. Those few lines she sang were pretty much true about Apetrully. He find it true that he was pretty much a coward when it comes telling his feelings to Hope, so he hides those feelings away from her, hoping not to break their friendship apart.
H: In the middle of the intersection
You turn around
Your sad eyes,
Just like a cat that's
Been thrown away
Signal blinking
You grab my arm and embrace
To kiss me
Just follow the fate given to us
Apetrully pay attention to the lyrics of the song, but he swore he heard Cat King murmur, "Who would throw away a perfectly good cat?"
"Oh, shut up." Dog King softly replied to him.
H: Me
For
Smiled gently
You're my all
My sole muse
Hope throw her mask in the air, letting it flip around as she try to dance around the stage.
H: Cowardly, Masquerade
This dance always
Morning will come soon
So stop the ringing music
Cool wearing, Masquerade
Concealing my weak smile
Put in hand for eternity
So I'll take remove my mask
The commander felt himself very still, almost frozen, when Hope spoke the next lines.
H: (Spoken) "My heart,
Is always masked.
I don't want my identity to be revealed.
Keep away!
Or get hurt in love"
Sometimes I think Hope knows my monkey secret and she's trying to hint that she knows, or I'm just being silly and she does't really know anything about my secret. Apetrully thought.
H: Cowardly, Masquerade
My true feelings, are always masked
So that you're not hurt
I gave a goodbye
I was suppose to abandon everything
My heart was killed, and body pulled
Searching for someone else
Because I love, Masquerade
Hope bows as everyone claps. Hope walk down the stage as she took off her magic necklace, turning back into a monkey. The pink and white monkey smiled, sitting next to the commander.
"Do you like the cake?" Hope ask.
The commander quickly nodded, even though he barely touch it. Apetrully notice bits of chocolate on Hope's cheek from that chocolate fight from before.
"Hope, you got a little something..." Apetrully said, trying to point at the spot.
"Oh," Hope said, taking out a napkin.
Using the napkin, Hope wiped the other cheek instead of the chocolate cheek.
"No, not that there." Apetrully said, shaking his head.
Hope wipe her chin.
"Not there..." The commander said, feeling a bit irritated.
The pink and white monkey just raise an eyebrow. Apetrully sighed and said, "It's here!"
Suddenly, the commander gave a kiss on Hope's cheek where the chocolate was. The commander realized what he done as the two blush a little. Hope wipe her cheek where she got kissed as she said awkwardly, "Well... Thanks."
"Um... Yeah..." Apetrully said, awkwardly.
Why did I just do that? Apetrully thought, seeing Hope slowly raising her mask she was holding to her face to hide the blush on her face.
