Inside a banquet hall, filled with people who are of the upper class would celebrate the debut of Imee Marcos' 18th Birthday. The bustling crowd of high upper class citizens, laughing and making conversation among themselves would be the main setting of the hall, just all out people having fun as the background would embellish the surroundings with classical music. Cellos and Violins would meander the ears of everyone who was present at that time, giving everyone a more relaxed and grand atmosphere. 

Though, as it seems, two adolescent kids who were present at that time was sneaking about, crawling through the tables and stealthily crouching through the crowds of people inside. 

" We're gonna get caught, let's just go to the tables and wait for our parents! ", A feminine voice had exclaimed. 

" You said you were bored at the tables didn't you? Now that we're doing something fun you're gonna chicken out! ", A more neutrally toned voice of what seemed to be a pubescent boy. 

" When I meant bored, I didn't mean sneak around like a couple of thieves! ", She quietly replied, as anguish and anger came out of her tone. 

" Whatever, If you wanna go chicken out like the rest of our plans be my guest. I'm gonna see things through like I always do! ", He'd rebut her statement of this being a bad idea, then moving along further.

At this point in time, the girl was at a cross road of either going back to the tables or seeing things through with the boy's plan, about a few brief and hectic seconds, she chose the latter. 

" If we get caught, I'm blaming you ah! ", She clarified, huffing her statements, as she moved along with him, furthering themselves into an unspecified door, pushing through it as they entered. 

A slight grin from the boy would be seen, expressing his glee as they spot a ladder from the rooftop of the building; " I told you. There's ALWAYS a light at the end of every tunnel. ", He then moved himself along to the railings of the ladder, climbing up with ease, as he held his hand out for her to come with him. 

She accepted his hand, though only to follow that up with scoffing as she rebuts; " As if that always happened from our PREVIOUS attempts of finding fun. I distinctively remember you 'accidentally' putting that poor servant's pants on fire at someone's blessing baptism. ", She laughs as she climbed the ladder. 

" As you said from your own words. An ACCIDENT. How would I know if he was next to a candle light when I accidentally covered him with confetti! ", He'd be frustrated from the past of his errors, climbing all the while. 

The girl tried to contain her laughter from the whole backstory; " To be fair, it wasn't a good idea that there were candles still lit when it happened but YOU worsened it by throwing water at EVERYONE including your father. ", She laughed as she told him this, making the boy cringe with what he had done from the past.

After the brief and laughable moment they had as they climbed the top of this ladder, they made it. He offered her his hand as she was the second one to climb.

She took the hand, as he had then raised her up from the ladder, putting her up to her feet on the ground. 

An amusing and joking bow would occur from the boy, showing somewhat chivalry towards her as they both laughed at the action, as she slapped the boy's cheek all the while.
