Staring at posters plastered in her Board Donghai then laughed. And Happily jumped around her room. "Yes!—YES! It's time!" She Cheered and due to her loud Screeching. Tripitaka Popped out behind the couch with his popcorns at hand. "What's with your excitement? Did you perhaps found some interesting movies to watch?" He asked and Donghai Shakes her head.

"Nope! But it's our Play! The day has finally come!"

"Play?! Like some Dramas?!'

"Yes!"

"Hai We gotta go and prepare for the play. Oh and Don't forget to bring your—"

"My stick! Yes I will Bring it this time!"

"But what about your eye?"

Standing stiff Tang raised a brow and Tripitaka Ooed as he forgot that Tang and the others still hasn't know what happened and why Donghai Got that Bandage on left eye. Glancing to his student Tang then Stared at the white bandage wrapped on her Face. "Come to think of it. What happened to you? I thought it's just a ketchup?" He asked and Donghai Glared at the monk

Tripitaka whistled and Backed off slowly from them. "Uh–hey! Teach would you look at that! We're late! Come on!" Grabbing His Wrist The three of them walked downstairs. Leaving the Noodle shop the three of them walked through the streets of the city "Well whatever that is. You need to cover it. Or maybe we could go and appoint someone to replace your role—" Stopping in her tracks Donghai Pat's her teachers shoulders and laughed.

"Replace?! Nah I'm fine! I'll just Cover this with my Hair!"

Fixing her hair Tang and Tripitaka Sweatdropped watching her do her best to cover up the Bandages. The play is really important to her since she's been waiting for weeks. And the role too. She's fortunate to have it and God's she's gonna cry because of how happy she is.
