After a few minutes of driving, Mario and Cyril arrived outside the Silver Haven subdivision.

Mario's taxi can't enter because the space is small and there are many cars parked.

Cyril will still have to walk further inside to reach the community hall.

The two begin conversing.

"I'm sorry Cyril, I'll just drop you off here. It looks like the taxi can't get through here."

"It's okay Mario."

Cyril gets out of the taxi.

"All right, I'm going."

He'll begin to walk forward, then suddenly turn back to Mario.

"No! You know what? I shouldn't go-"

"Cyril."

He stops Cyril from opening the car door.

"I don't want to come off as guilt-tripling, but I hope you consider what my sister has done for you."

"But Mario, I don't have to do this."

"Cyril, you were invited, weren't you? Why won't you go? We're already here. I literally wasted gas just to get you here."

Cyril looks at the direction that leads to the entrance of the subdivision.

"How about this, if you won't do it for yourself, could you at least do it for Topaz?"

Cyril ponders deeply.

"Take this chance now while you still have it."

Cyril takes a deep breath.

"Okay. I'm going."

"Now that's more like it. So it's settled then, I'll be waiting here. Just remember that by midnight, you have to be here already."

"Okay Mario. And um... Thank you too."

"You're welcome."

Cyril began walking towards the entrance of the subdivision.


While Cyril was walking towards the venue, "Sway" was coincidentally about to end.

As the song finishes, the people applauded.

Valerie tries to continue talking to Patrick.

"Anyways as I was saying-"

Patrick and the people suddenly notice a form of shimmering radiance by the entrance.

Valerie wonders at what Patrick saw and looked towards the entrance as well.

People see Cyril, wearing the shiny holographic outfit.

Patrick begins smiling.

"Cyril- excuse me Valerie."

"Uh okay?"

Valerie then proceeded to stand next to her parents.

"Who is he?" She asks her parents.

Melanie takes a good look at Cyril.

"Well... I've never seen him nor anyone wearing something like that at a ball."

Erwin seems to be captivated by Cyril's outfit.

"I like the fabric." He said.

"We're not familiar with him either, but it seems that Patrick knows who he is. Maybe he's one of the volunteers?" Esther added.

Patrick approaches Cyril.

They are in the middle of the dance floor.

Patrick couldn't help but smile.

"You came."

"I can't waste the invitation, right?"

"Oh please! You just want to see me again."

"You're so vain!"

They both laughed.

 "But seriously, you look really good tonight. Like a princess!"

Cyril thinks that he is bluffing, but couldn't help smiling either.

Elijah suddenly runs to the maestro.

Elijah whispered as he spoke.

"Maestro! Please play some slow classical music."

Elijah looks at the singer sitting down.

"You, sing your song."

He takes the mic stand with the mic and gives it to the singer.
