Nanny was inside the room and had a couple of boxes wrapped up that were addressed for Eloise that said 'Love Mommy and Daddy' on the tags. "I can't imagine what your parents were thinking."
"They were thinking..." Eloise replied as she unwrapped her mother's box first, then opened it up to see a light pink dress similar to what Darla used to wear when she was a movie child star. "PINK! Think pink!" she then stood up, holding the dress against her body and did a twirl with it. "Isn't it divine?"
"Oh, my stars, stars, stars!" Nanny praised.
"It looks lovely." Estelle smiled.
"I'm sure it'll be perfect for the best night ever." Akito agreed.
"Tres magnifique." Felicity marveled.
"Now, where are you going to wear that?" Nanny then asked the child.
"The Ball, Nanny!" Eloise replied like it was obvious. "It's so tres chic! She knew I would be going!"
"Eloise, you don't even have an invitation," Nanny reminded as she then handed the box from Urchin. "Now, let's see what your father got for you."
"I'm sure it's perfect for you." Ditto smiled at Eloise.
"Thanks, guys." Eloise smiled at their approval as she then took a smaller box from her father and opened it up.
It was a black headband with a pink seashell decoration attached to it and it had white frilly gloves like at fancy tea parties.
"Oh, these will go nicely with the dress!" Eloise beamed.
"Too bad it doesn't come with invitations." Ditto frowned.
Suddenly, the doorbell buzzed.
"That's Bill!" Eloise dashed to the door and opened it to show that it was in fact the aspiring actor of the hotel staff.
Bill handed a silver platter with a hidden wink to the girl.
Eloise took the paper on the silver tray and ran to her caretaker. "It's for you!"
"Hm?" Nanny took the paper, then put on her glasses to read it to see what it was all about.
The kids, Pokemon, and Bill already knew what it was all about.
"Now, where are my glasses?" Nanny mumbled as she was having trouble finding them.
"Nanny's rather farsighted." Eloise commented as she opened the envelope for her and read aloud in a snooty English accent. "'Dear Nanny, would you do me the honor of meeting me at the Palm Court this afternoon at 4:00? Yours very sincerely, Sir Wilkes'."
Nanny's eyes widened and she swiped the paper once Sir Wilkes's name was mentioned, she then truly saw it was signed the man's name at the bottom. "Oh, my Lord!"
"Bill, what time is it?!" Eloise called.
Bill checked his watch. "3:28."
"Oh, my... Nanny, you better go get yourself ready." Estelle said.
"Oh, my Lord!" Nanny repeated as she stood to her feet and ran off to her bedroom.
Eloise grinned and rubbed her hands together eagerly once this had worked perfectly.
"Can this get any better?" Ditto asked.
"Im sure it will." Eloise chirped.
"What are we going to wear to the ball?" Felicity pouted. "We have nothing to wear!"
"Why does this seem familiar?" Akito asked himself.
Akito's spell book glowed, catching his attention.
"Ooh, I better check this..." Akito walked over to his spell book as it glowed.
"You brought yours with you?" Estelle asked.
"Yeah, didn't you?" Akito asked.
Estelle smiled sheepishly in response to show that she hadn't.
"Think before ya do, Sis!" Akito said before he opened his book. He then saw that this spell book was the spell book his uncle had given him last night.
"That doesn't look like the spell book from Cousin Thorn." Estelle said.
"Uh, this is a special one..." Akito made up as he picked up the book. "Now, if you'll excuse me..." he then ran off to a private corner with the book.
Estelle scratched her head in slight concern for her twin brother. Vincent came through the door with a flirty grin on his face and he seemed to had the time of his life as he wandered into the room, passing Bill and falling into the couch, but he laughed and looked very dazed to even be bothered by anything or anybody.
"Hello, Casanova, and how was your time with your Juliet?" Estelle smirked playfully.
"Yeah, Papa, how was your time with Mama?" Vulpix smiled.
"Huh?" Vincent asked. "Oh, I didn't see you guys there..." he then chuckled bashfully.
"Ooh, what happened?" Estelle asked.
"Well... I asked Jenny to the ball..." Vincent scooted up in the couch and hugged his knees as Vulpix hopped on the couch beside him. "I got to see her dress..."
"I take it she agreed then?" Felicity then asked.
"Mm-hmm..." Vincent smiled with a dreamy sigh. "I'm going to the ball with my very own princess."
"So, what are you going to wear to the ball?" Estelle asked.
Vincent thought about that, then groaned and face-palmed. "I don't have anything to wear!"
"This sounds like the Cinderella story." Felicity commented.
"Indeed it does." Eloise smiled.
Meanwhile, Akito opened up the spell book his uncle Sombra or in this case, his great-uncle Sombra gave him.
"Okay, so, let's see which spell is similar to Fairy Godmother's magic?" Akito asked himself as he looked through the spell book to find the right spell.
'Psst, Akito...' a voice whispered.
"Huh?" Akito looked up. "Uncle Sombra?"
'Try the F glossary page.' the voice advised.
"You got it." Akito said before turning to the F glossary page.
He looked through all the F's in the magic book.
"Fawns, Fafnir, Fachen, Fear Gorta, Feathered Serpent, Fylgia, aha, Fairies!" Akito moved his finger down the list, then tapped the part of the book that showed the word 'fairies', the chapter, and page number. "Let's hope this page has the spell I'm looking for." he then said.
'That's right...' Sombra's voice told Akito. 'Find the spells...'
Akito hummed as he looked at the fairy magic spells list and his eyes scanned for the magic spell he wanted to use and luckily, he had found it. "Here it is," he smiled before he saw the expiration. "Uh-Oh, looks like this lasts until midnight."
'The ball shall be over long before then...' Sombra advised.
"Yeah..." Akito agreed, even though Sombra wasn't there with him, but talking to him through telepathy. "Anything for us to fit in at the ball and have our own best night ever!"
'Yes, dear boy, and your date shall arrive tonight, she'll be there, the real her, I assure you.' Sombra told him, referring to Emi.
"Really...?" Akito's eyes obviously lit up and he had a very eager smile on his face.
'Really really... Listen to your dear uncle, won't you?' Sombra replied. 'Would I ever steer you wrong? Lead you astray? No! But your father...'
"What about my father?" Akito asked.
'Never mind that for now...' Sombra said.
"No, tell me, please." Akito said.
'I will... Soon... Just go wile and beguile your friends and family...' Sombra replied.
"Uh... Okay..." Akito said as he looked at the spell and memorized it so he and the others would be best dressed for the Debutante Ball.
As soon as he had it memorized, he exited the private room and went to find the others.
"I asked her to the dance and I don't even have a suit!" Vincent buried his head in his hands. "Why didn't I think of that?!"
"Love can cloud one's thoughts and emotions," Eloise advised as she played with the seashell attached to the headband, then saw it came off easily and had her name written on it. "That's weird..." she said softly as she saw the shell had two ends, she then looked to it and clicked it open which made a flashing slight appear, she flinched slightly at first, then looked back as she opened it and it showed her Atlantica with the many merpeople who lived there. "Wow..." She whispered in admiration.
"That's Atlantica." Akito said.
"So that's Atlantica up close..." Eloise said. "I guess..."
"Don't worry, you'll see it really up close some day." Ditto soothed.
Eloise had a small smile in hopes, she then closed the shell for now.
"I have something to share with you all, are you ready?" Akito smiled.
The others looked curious, but they encouraged him to go on.
"What do you have, Dad?" Larvitar asked.
"It's a spell to give us what we need for the ball," Akito said. "The right clothes."
"You mean like the Fée Marraine who helped Maman and Uncle Atticus and Princesse Cinderella?" Felicity asked.
"Exactly." Akito smiled.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Vincent grinned eagerly. "Let us have it!"
"Okay, okay, now for this to work, the ones that are females, which would be Estelle and Felicity since they don't have anything to wear, will have to twirl around while I say the spell." Akito said.
"Not a problem." Estelle smiled proudly.
"Ooh, twirling makes me feel nauseous though..." Felicity pouted.
"Or you can just slowly spin around." Akito said.
"I hope that will work." Felicity said.
"Don't worry, this is for a good cause." Estelle soothed her.
"Okay, ready, girls?" Akito asked.
"Ready!" Felicity and Estelle told him, allowing him to preform the spell.
"Okay, then Estelle, twirl and Felicity, slowly spin around." Akito told them before performing the spell.
Estelle and Felicity nodded and did as they were told to for Akito's spell practice. Eloise picked up Ditto and walked backward so they would be out of the way. Akito began to recite the spell in fairy language and where after reciting, the spell it began to do its work on the two. Estelle was given a glossy purple dress with a matching bow for her hair and had black shoes that nearly resembled ballerina slippers. Felicity was wearing a dress similiar to the one she always wore, but it was a lot cleaner and neater. She also had white tights and black Mary Janes.
"Wow, you look beautiful, Mama." Teddy smiled.
"So do you, Felicity." Misdreavus added.
Estelle and Felicity looked to each other and smiled, complimenting each other.
"Way to go, Akito." Eloise congratulated, coming between the other girls and put her arms around them.
"Guess it's my turn," Vincent said before smirking playfully. "Unless you wanna save the best for last."
"You can go first, bro." Akito said.
Vincent grinned then.
Akito then stepped back. "What color dress is Jenny wearing?"
"Green," Vincent smiled. "It goes great with her hair, and it's even my favorite color."
Akito nodded, he then spoke in the fairy language again to put Vincent into a forest green tux with a black tie to color coordinate with his date. And where the magic dust from the spell seem to sprinkle and swerve around him, changing his clothes to the clothes he was going to wear at the ball.
"Oohh..." the others commented.
"Hm?" Akito looked down, then smiled as he had his own crimson red suit and had a black bow tie. "Hm!"
"Looks like we're all ready to go to the ball." Eloise smiled.
"Yeah, and a good thing the Debutante Ball ends before midnight." Akito said.
"Let me guess, the spell ends by then?" Estelle asked.
Akito nodded.
"Of course..." Felicity sighed, then smiled.
Nanny was all dolled up and went to meet Sir Wilkes for tea, telling the others she would be right back.
"We still have plenty of time until the ball." Eloise told her cousins.
"That's right." Estelle smiled.
"What to do now though?" Felicity asked.
"Let's explore." Eloise said as she put her dress away which was all the way from Paris.
