Love Doesn't Do Encores

Ch7 The Entrance Ceremony P2

"Y/N!! WAKE UP!!"

"AH!!" You immediately shot up and your head nearly collided with another's as you blinked at the sudden light with a groan and reached up to rub your face. "What the-"

"WAKE UP!!," Gloria called shaking your body as she smiled. "Today's the big day! The Entrance Ceremony's about to begin!! If you don't wake up we'll be late!!"

"Alright alright,'' you mumbled moving so you could poke one of your arms out of the sleeping bag and unzipped it with a small zipping noise before leaning up from it. Stretching out your body with a loud yawn. Beside you your sobble tiredly mimicked your yawning and stretching as it unfurled itself from the curled up position it had slept beside you in the sleeping bag. It reminded you so much of how a cat would behave. You rubbed your eyes before cracking them open. "What time is it?.......And what are you wearing?"

Gloria sported a mostly white uniform with her backpack and things slung over her shoulders as she gave a proud pose. "Oh this thing? It's an offical uniform for the ceremony! They gave it to us when we registered the other day. We're supposed to wear them as we do the ceremony. We're also supposed to be meeting the Chairman and his top assistant. I think he's the one who paid for everyone's hotel fees...." She shrugged. "Either way we should get a move on it! My Mom's gonna be watching from home along with everyone from Postwick! In Lee's own words!!" She struck the famous Champion Pose you remembered Lee doing before. "LET'S HAVE A CHAMPION TIME!!"

You would've chuckled at her eagerness but you were still tired and hungry. "Breakfast?"

"We can eat AFTER the ceremony! Now get up and dressed! I don't want to be late."

You had grumbled but not wanting to fight with her you oblidged and got up and got dressed again, Gloria packing up the the sleeping bag, and soon you were presentable enough to go outside without looking like a sleep dreprived hobo. Backpack slung over your shoulders and your sobble riding on it not that you minded. The only problem you had was that you were hungry having no breakfast but there wasn't much time to complain about that before Gloria was ushering you to go out the door which closed behind you with a click. From there you were rushed down the hallway, into the elevator where Gloria pressed the button to take the two of you down from the third floor, and into the lobby where someone was already waiting for the two of you. Victor was waiting at the bottom of the stairs, tapping a foot, arms crossed, frowning, and glancing at his phone every so often to keep an eye on the time, but he had turned towards the both of you once he heard the rushed footsteps coming towards him.

He met his twin with a scowl throwing his arms out at her. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!? Everyone was already escorted to the stadium already! Hop had to leave an hour ago because you wouldn't wake up when we pounded on your door like a monchomp breaking boulders!" he exclaimed angrily at her.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry!," Gloria apologized bowing over and over as he placed his hands on his hips. "I didn't mean to sleep in! I was just overwhelmed by everything that happened yesterday!"

"That's no excuse! This is the big leagues now!," he scolded her. Huh. He sounded a lot like their mother. "If you can't get to there on time you could make a bad first impression! You can't just pretend you can't wake up!"
