It is already the day of the ball and everyone invited prepared. Lots of tailleur's were making dresses, lots of shopping was happening and almost all of the shops were sold out. Amelie on the other hand was trying her new dress "Doesn't this make me look fat?" asked Amelie to Ashthier "It does not make you look fat! You are already so thin" answered Ashthier "Do you think he'll be their?" asked Amelie "His a Bouvier right? Then of course he'll be there" said Ashthier. Amelie soon said "Well then, I must prepare for the ball."
It was the night of the ball, everyone was dressed in beautiful gowns and grand masks. Amelie on the other hand was the prettiest of all. She wore a light blue dress with white gloves, a fur shawl and a white mask with golden linings. Everyone stared at Amelie and were amazed. The orchestra started the music and people started waltzing, the other people, like businessmen, started talking about negotiations. Amelie sat at her table not accepting anyone who asks her to dance. "Mademoiselle, you should not be sitting alone in this table" said a man wearing a black mask "You made me wait so long" replied Amelie "Sorry Amelie, I didn't mean to make you wait" replied the man, they started dancing and then Amelie said "Why were you late Jacques?" "I had business to deal with" "What business" asked Amelie "It's my families business, forget about it, lets just dance." The music ended and Jacques and Amelie sat on the chair and started chatting, but then a man taller than Amelie came near her, he was wearing a red mask, he wore a maroon military-style suit "Mademoiselle, do you remember me?" he asked "No...Who are you?" replied Amelie with a wondered tone, the man removed his mask and said "It's me Amelie, Maxwell, its been a while, how are you doing?" "Maxwell! you changed! You look better than before" Amelie said and she had a big smile on her face. The music started again and Maxwell asked Amelie if she wanted to dance "I will be right back Jacques. I have some catching up to do with my old friend." Jacques was left by the table watching Maxwell and Amelie dance with big smiles on their faces. He stood up and went to outside.
"That was wonderful! Thank you Maxwell" "It is not a problem Amelie" replied Maxwell "Do you still live in the same house Amelie?" asked Maxwell "Yes I do, thats my home" replied Amelie with great joy. They both said their goodbyes and left.
"You seem to have enjoyed yourself" said Jacques with a very irritated tone "Are you jealous?" Amelie said with a very nosey tone "I'm not!" said Jacques "Really now" Amelie replied "Then I'm off" "Off to where?" asked Jacques "You wont tell me the truth, so now I have to leave" said Amelie then Jacques said "Wait! Don't leave, I have something to show you" "Not until you say the truth" said Amelie "Fine... I was jealous!" shouted Jacques. Amelie stopped walking and went near Jacques again "What were you about to show me?" asked Amelie "Just come with me" then Jacques grabbed her hand and went to a garden filled with lights.
"What is this place?" asked Amelie with such curiosity "This was our families personal garden, we use to have parties and sit here to pass time. Only are carers maintain the place" explain Jacques "Wow! Its so amazing here!" Amelie was so excited "Amelie..." "Yes Jacques" "The time I met you, you were a weird, angry run away bride in the park, and our letters through the months improved and..." "Excuse me for a moment Jacques, I need to... uhm... powder my nose!" then Amelie ran. "Oh Amelie, your such a bad liar" then Jacques followed her.
"Amelie!!!" shouted Jacques "Amelie where are you!?"
