"This is so exciting." Teddy smiled.

Felicity smiled as they passed Radio City Music Hall next to the stock market. They were now coming into Time Square and it was a lot more beautiful and exciting up close in this point of view.

"Cool." Larvitar smiled.

"This is the best tour of New York ever." Vulpix purred.

"Yep." Misdreavus smiled.

"Indeed." Felicity agreed with her Ghost Pokemon as they ventured the city in style.

"What next?" Leon asked.

"You'll see when we make the first stop." Eloise replied with a smile.

Leon smiled back, he was finally having so much fun and now knew what it was like to be a real kid. Vincent looked out, then gasped as he looked over to one sidewalk. Jenny was in her school uniform and was with other girls around her age as they were walking down the sidewalk together.

"Hey, Jenny!" Estelle called out.

Vincent turned bright red, bit his lip, and ducked down nervously. Jenny stopped walking and looked around as she could had sworn she heard her name.

"Over here!" Estelle and Vulpix called out.

"Guys!" Vincent nearly hissed.

Eloise saw what they were doing and called out. "Maggie, stop the ride!"

The Irish lady then stopped the horse, stopping the carriage ride, so then Jenny could see them.

"Oh, my gosh..." Vincent sounded nervous as he sweated and his heart raced.

Jenny looked both ways and crossed the street, gripping the straps of her backpack as she was on her way to meet her old friends from out-of-town.

"Dad, why are you nervous?" Vulpix asked.

"I... Well... She... I... Erm..." Vincent stuttered, unable to find the right words as Jenny was on her way right over to them.

"It's only Mama." Vulpix soothed.

Vincent breathed nervously.

"Did someone call my name?" Jenny asked as she made it over to the horse-carriage.

"Hey, Mama." Vulpix smiled.

"Oh, Vulpix, hi!" Jenny smiled back, cooing to the Fire Fox Pokemon and gently stroked him. "How are you, little guy?"

"I'm doing fine, Mama," Vulpix smiled before looking down. "Papa, come out and say hi to Mama."

Vincent shivered and shuddered, gritting his teeth anxiously.

"Vincent?" Jenny tilted her red-haired head.

Vincent puffed air from his cheeks, then smiled nervously as he slowly slid up. "Heeeeey, Jenny..."

"Why are you hiding?" Jenny asked.

"Um... Well..." Vincent chuckled nervously and sheepishly.

"Papa would like to take you to the Debutante Ball, Mama." Vulpix smiled.

Vincent's emerald eyes widened and he then smiled bashfully to the rich girl he strongly adored.

"Is this true, Vincent?" Jenny asked for confirmation.

"Uh..." Vincent stammered, then gulped deeply and sighed softly. "What do you say?"

"I say I'd love to be your date to the Debutante Ball." Jenny smiled.

Vincent smiled back." Really?"

"Why wouldn't I be?" Jenny smiled. "When is it?"

Vincent bit his lip. "I-I know this is short notice, but it starts in six hours..."

"Oh, my... Well then, I better go and make sure I have something perfect to wear." Jenny said.

"Sorry, I've been meaning to ask you for the longest time, but I don't know why, I just got so nervous..." Vincent said.

"Same here." Vulpix said.

"Oh, Vincent..." Jenny sighed with a smile and patted him on his dark brown haired head.

Vincent smiled bashfully.

"I'm sure I can find something in my closet in time for th ball, but I gladly accept your invitation." Jenny smiled to him.

"Thanks, Jenny." Vincent smiled.

"Of course, Vincent." Jenny said.

"I'd hate to cut this short, but we have a tour to go through." Eloise said.

"Maybe you should stay with Mama since you know New York better than any of us, Papa," Vulpix suggested. "We could meet you later."

Vincent looked anxious about being alone with Jenny, he did like her, but he felt nervous due to his crush on her.

"Yeah, go ahead spend some alone time with Jenny." Estelle smiled.

"Oh, if you guys don't mind..." Vincent replied.

"Oh, we don't at all, go ahead, you crazy kids." Felicity giggled.

Jenny giggled to that in response.

"Uh, okay, Jenny, where were you off to?" Vincent asked the redheaded girl.

"Just back home," Jenny replied. "Wanna walk me home?"

"Sure, Jenny." Vincent smiled bashfully.

"Have fun, you two." Akito smirked.

"Uh, thanks." Vincent said.

"Onward, Maggie!" Eloise then called.

Maggie nodded to her and let the horse start going again. Vincent and Jenny waved and were now going back to where Jenny's classmates were as they were on their way to the redheaded girl's house.

"I'm sure those two will be fine alone." Larvitar said.

"Let's ride along then." Eloise nodded.

Maggie then took them along more sights while Jenny and Vincent would be alone. They came up to one stop to see a man was painting portraits of couples together and Eloise decided to get a portrait done with Leon.

"This tour is going to be one Leon will never forget." Teddy smiled.

"Indeed it will be, Teddy." Estelle hugged her Teddiursa as they waited for Eloise and Leon.

Eloise and Leon stood next to each other on top of a set of stairs and gave model poses. The man smiled as he painted them, the only other color besides black and white he used was yellow for Eloise's coat.

"I wonder how the portrait will look." Vulpix said.

After a moment, the artist finished. The kids and Pokemon looked at the portrait and loved it very much, showering the artist with compliments. Eloise loved it so much that she hugged the artist in high admiration and spirit. The artist smiled back fondly to her.

"This has to be the greatest tour ever." Larvitar smiled.

Eloise took her cousins and new friends all around the city and they had the time of their lives, especially at the Statue of Liberty and a boat ride. Maggie waited for them until they would be ready to come back so she could take them for more sights until they would return to the hotel.

"This is so cool." Vulpix smiled.

Eloise smiled to them as they were having the best day that any of them could ever have, at least for now anyway.

Jenny said goodbye to her friends and now walked with Vincent over to the front door and wiggled the knob to check if it was unlocked or not. She then reached into her bag and took out the key, unlocking the door and walking inside with Vincent. "Come on in, I'm sure it'll be okay if you visit for just a little while."

"I guess I could stay for a while." Vincent smiled.

Jenny smiled and walked inside the house. "Georgette, Oliver, I'm home!" she called out.

Oliver happily and excitedly rushed over to the girl, nuzzling his face against her legs and gently mewed in excitement that she was home at last.

Georgette simply got up from her aerobics and met up with her owner and the orange cat.

Jenny smiled and pet her pets, kneeling down on the floor now. "I missed you guys too."

Oliver purred, happy to see her back and then saw Vincent, still happy.

"Look who's come to visit, Oliver." Jenny smiled as she picked him up in her hands and showed him Vincent.

"Hey there, little guy." Vincent smiled.

Oliver smiled back up to Vincent.

"How you doing?" Vincent asked as he pet the orange cat/kitten.

"Great, I didn't know you were in town, Vincent." Oliver replied as Jenny went to put her backpack away.

"Surprise." Vincent smiled.

"Yes, very much..." Georgette agreed. "Erm, welcome back, Vincent." she then gently smiled to him.

"Great to be back." Vincent smiled.

Oliver smiled and nuzzled against his face. Vincent smiled back as he walked into the house, remembering everything and where all the rooms were, luckily it wasn't a huge mansion like many rich people, but was still big compared to most people who lived in New York City.

Jenny put her backpack away for now and opened her large wardrobe closet that had many dresses and outfits, and was now looking through to see which would be perfect for her to be the bell of the ball. "Now, what to wear?" she asked herself.

Georgette poked her head in the room and walked in.

Jenny hummed in thought, then looked to her poodle who knew a lot more about fashion than she did. "What do you think?"

Georgette walked right into Jenny's wardrobe to pick out the perfect dress. Jenny smiled, she then sat on her bed and looked into her mirror, gently bouncing her scarlet hair while Georgette went to find the perfect outfit for her mistress. After a short while Georgette came back out with the perfect dress for her mistress. Jenny looked over once she saw the poodle's reflection in her miror. Georgette came back with a forest green dress with black gloves.

"Oh, Georgette, it's lovely." Jenny approved.

Georgette smiled, already knowing that she knew her mistress would approve. Jenny took the dress and put it against her body as she looked in the mirror, imagining herself in it. Georgette smiled in high approval.

"Thank you," Jenny hugged her poodle for the help. "Oh, what a day this turned out to be... I'm going to the Debutante Ball with Vincent!"

Georgette smiled at her mistress, happy for her. Jenny smiled back.

Vincent sat on the couch next to Oliver and was playing around with the TV remote to pass the time. Oliver seem to love to play with Vincent whenever he came over or whenever he could. Vincent smiled, he then grabbed one of his shoelaces and pulled it out and dangled it over Oliver to play with the kitten.

Oliver chuckled and swatted at the lace as he flopped on his back. Vincent chuckled, missed having this much fun with a cat. Oliver laughed with Vincent as they played.

"You like that, don't you?" Vincent chuckled as he continued to dangle the shoelace playfully.

"I sure do." Oliver smiled as he kept swatting at the shoelace.

Vincent laughed as he played. Jenny came back over to the boys, still wearing her school uniform, she then saw what they were doing and put her hands to her mouth with a small giggle in amusement.

"This is so much fun." Oliver smiled.

Vincent laughed, then looked to see Jenny. "Oh, hello... Heh..."

"Having fun, are we?" Jenny smirked.

"Uh-huh." Oliver nodded.

Jenny giggled as she sat herself down between the kitten and the human boy.

"I just thought I'd play with him." Vincent smiled.

"I'm sure he appreciates it," Jenny smiled back. "I still can't believe you're here, I didn't think I'd be hit with this today... An invitation to the Debutante Ball and my prince has arrived."

"What can I say? Life is just full of surprises." Vincent said.

"Yes, it is," Jenny agreed. "I mean... Look at Oliver... I still remember when he first came into my life."

"Yeah, I was a scared kitten back then." Oliver said.

Jenny gently pet the orange kitten, making him purr.

"What happened exactly?" Vincent asked.

"Well, I was expecting your brother and sister to come over, it was going to be a whole day of school until I would get to meet them in person at last," Jenny explained. "Winston picked me up from school that day and there was a message from my parents while they were gone away before my birthday."

"Well, good thing that they did come back home." Vincent smiled.

"Yeah... It felt like they were never gonna come home..." Jenny said. "it was hard when their letter said they were staying longer, I really wanted them to come back on my birthday, but at least they came the day after."

"Yeah." Vincent said.

Oliver cuddled against Jenny, thinking she was probably sad.

"Oh, Oliver, don't worry..." Jenny cooed, holding her kitten close and nuzzled her face against his furry face. "I'm fine... We're all okay."

"If you're sure." Oliver frowned.

"It's okay..." Jenny hugged him gently.

Oliver simply nuzzled up to her.

Jenny smiled and hugged the kitten back.

"Remember, 6:00 sharp." Vincent reminded.

"Right... 6:00 on the dot." Jenny nodded back.

"Where you going, Jenny?" Oliver asked.

"I'm going to a ball with Vincent." Jenny replied.

Oliver looked confused and even tilted his head. "This ball... Is it big enough for everybody to play with?" he asked. "Seems kinda silly for a bunch of humans to gather together just to play with a ball."

"No, no," Vincent chuckled. "A ball is a big party with dancing and fine wining and dining, like in a lot of fairy tales like Cinderella."

"Oh..." Oliver now understood.

"Yeah, and where I'll be going to the Debutante Ball with Vincent." Jenny smiled.

"Is that what you humans call a 'date'?" Oliver asked.

"Precisely." Jenny confirmed.

"Cool." Oliver smiled.

"Someday, you might have a little kitty date." Jenny smirked.

"Aw, Jenny..." Oliver nervously put his paw to his forehead with a sheepish smile, dipping his head at the human children.

"Yeah, maybe with Snow White." Vincent playfully smirked.

Oliver stared down at the floor and hopped down as Georgette quietly snickered.

"Oliver and Snow White sitting near a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G~." Georgette sang quietly.

"Hey!" Oliver glared at her.

"What?" Georgette smirked, then walked off with her tail in the air. "I'm just being honest."

"You think you're so funny..." Oliver grumbled as he went after her.

Jenny and Vincent laughed to the cat and dog's interactions.

"They're like brother and sister or something." Jenny said.

"Yeah, they are like brother and sister." Vincent chuckled.

Jenny smiled, having a lot of fun with him so far. Vincent smiled back.

Back with the others...

Maggie kept riding the others along as they enjoyed the sights and their ride, which made her smile to them.

"So," Eloise turned to Leon with a bright and cheerful smile. "What do you think?"

"I think it's the most wonderful city in the whole world!" Leon marveled, spreading his arms out.

They hit a slight bump, but it made all of them laugh in mild amusement and enjoyment.

"This is the most excitement I've had in a long time." Larvitar smiled.

"This was the best tour of New York City ever!" Vulpix added.

"It was absolutely lovely!" Leon continued, then spoke a lot like the plucky blonde girl.

Eloise giggled to that. "Oh, Leon, you make me laugh."

Leon smiled back, but it seemed to fade away as she said that and he even turned his head away.

"Leon, what's wrong?" Estelle asked.

Leon looked back softly and apologetic. "My mother used to say that."

"She must have been lovely." Estelle smiled.

"You sound very close with her." Felicity added.

"I really was..." Leon said softly as he had a sad smile, remembering the good old times. "We used to sit outside at night and look at the stars... And talk about everything about the universe. She used to say to me..." he said before speaking in a different language.

"Huh?" Teddy said, confused.

Felicity shrugged, not even she could translate, but she knew it was beautiful from the way Leon said it.

"What does that mean?" Eloise asked.

"It doesn't matter..." Leon said softly. "It's so bright at night in New York, you can't see the stars."

"If only there was a way you could." Estelle said before winking at her twin brother.

Akito nodded silently, but put his finger to his mouth to shush her for now.

"The only way to see the stars in New York is with the most powerfullest telescope." Eloise said to Leon with a hopeful and imaginative smile as always.

'That or one of us having superpowers.' Teddy thought to himself.

Leon looked intrigued to Eloise, her cousins, and the Pokemon. Maggie spoke in the language Leon did in a soothing and comforting tone.

"Maggie, what language is that?" Estelle asked.

"Never mind that," Maggie looked back to Leon with a soothing smile. "It's what you miss most about her, isn't it?"

Leon replied with a smile to the horse driver.

"What?" Eloise asked. "The stars?"

"No..." Leon replied calmly with a small smile. "Hearing her laugh."

"Ohh." Eloise, Felicity, Akito, Estelle, and the Pokemon said, now understanding.

Eloise looked thoughtful for a moment, then gently touched the older boy's shoulder. "You know what I think?"

Leon glanced to her, but didn't say anything.

"I think your father misses her too," Eloise suggested. "Maybe that's why he sent you away. Because he thought you wouldn't miss her so much if you were in a different place."

"But that's not true!" Leon suddenly exclaimed.

"Then you need to tell him that!" Eloise urged.

"How?" Leon frowned. "You don't know how hard it is to talk to him."

"Well, then we'll just have to find a way to get him to listen." Akito said.

"Yes, it can't be any harder than keeping it all inside," Eloise encouraged the boy. "And if you told him how you really, really, really feel, you might get to go home."

Leon now had a hopeful smile for that possibility.

"So, what do you say?" Estelle asked Leon.

"I'll try it..." Leon replied.

"Oh, formidable!" Felicity exclaimed happily.

"Yay!" the Pokemon cheered.

The kids and Pokemon were very happy at Leon's newfound courage due to Eloise's influence.
