~~~~
So, I added a couple more abbreviations. So, if you need the reference, it will always be on the very top of the page, before the chapter starts. Sorry if you don't like the reference guide, it helps me write, since I can look back at the abbreviations to make sure I have the right one written down, and it helps for some, as they can get confusing. Also, thank you all for the continued support on not only this story, but the others I have. You are the best! So, let's move onto the chapter, shall we?

Your Point of View:

Laurence's eyes stared into mine, as we both broke apart from the hug. Was this a gesture... or a sign? It couldn't have been! We've only known each other for a week or so! It was the same ordeal with him and the others here, Cadenza, Dante, Garroth... We sat down, and watched the ending of the Wenches, and then we all got up to walk around.
"That was an amazing show. You did amazing Laurence!" Cadenza smiled.
"Thanks Cadenza. Say, what do we do next?"
"I say we try out all this food we got. It's still really hot, which is quite shocking, considering we sat through like, 20 minutes of the show." Dante smiled.
"Good idea. Let's sit over there!" Garroth pointed to a really pretty fairy garden. It had really bright flowers, and many vines that were wrapped around a white wired fence. A fairy found us, and smiled. She walked us over to a table that was under a really fancy canopy. It was a pentagon shape, and had 5 seats. It seemed a bit coincidental, but so did everything else here. We all sat down, and there were plates set up already. Dante passed out the food, and we set everything up, and placed the trash in the original bag it came in. Everything looked so good!
"How has today been for all of you?" Garroth asked us.
"It was absolutely splendid. Everything that's happened today has been the best experience I've ever had here at the festival." Cadenza replied, "I've never been here before."
"Me neither. But going along with what Cadenza said, it's been a blast. I've never had this much fun at the Festival." Dante smiled.
"I never thought I would be someone up on that stage, I also never thought they would give me the Love Challenge." Laurence chuckled, "It was scary up there, I'll have to admit. But everyone seemed to enjoy it."
"What about you (F/N). What did you think?" Garroth asked me.
"Everything here is so wonderful, and so unique... I can't believe I've never been to one of these before! I mean, everyone here smiles, and they all have one thing in common: To feel like a kid again. And if they're a kid, then feel majestic and wonderful about themselves. Although, it seems as if everything that has happened today was a coincidence. I mean, this dress. This beautiful, perfect dress fitting me as if it were Cinderella's shoe. And Laurence being picked to go up to sing... Thank you all so much for this opportunity."
"It's been a pleasure being able to spend it with you all. I'm proud to say I can call you all friends." Dante smiled, "So Garroth, what about you? How has the Festival been for you?"
"Today has definitely been amazing, and it's probably the best time I've ever had at the Festival. Even before we went was fun! Speaking of which, (F/N) can sing!"
"Oh stop!" I giggled, "Speak for yourself!"
"Hey! It's true!" he chuckled.
"Really? You know, Laurence and I were talking about Battle of the Bands earlier today." Cadenza smiled, "I think it's an amazing opportunity to represent our Academy. It's also a great way to bond with each other."
"Yeah, we were. I think it would be awesome!" Laurence exclaimed.
"Do you really think I'm that good at singing, Garroth?" I asked him.
"Would I lie? You're amazing, (F/N)."
"Say, if Cadenza knows how to play guitar and bass guitar, Laurence can play guitar, Garroth can play keyboard and sing, I can play drums, and (F/N) can sing... that should mean something, right?" Dante rolled his eyes, as if were obvious, "We should make a band for the Battle of the Bands competition!"
"I think we should. It would be so fun!" Cadenza smiled.
"I agree! That would be so awesome!" Laurence beamed with happiness.
"You know what? I'm in. A band sounds awesome!" Garroth exclaimed, excited.
"Way to go Garroth!" Dante smiled, "What about you (F/N)? Are you in?"
"As scary as it sounds, I'm in. I already know it's gonna be a blast with you guys! Let's do this!" we all cheered, and then I looked at the food. Oh darn, I was hungry.
"That's right, (F/N) still doesn't know what a spinach pie tastes like." Laurence smirked.
"She also hasn't been in the wonderland known as turkey legs and fried macaroni and cheese." Cadenza giggled. We ate lunch, the food only being amazing and majestic.

~~Filler~~

The gang continued to enjoy their afternoon at the Festival. (F/N) and Cadenza got their hair done, as the guys got temporary tattoos of dragons. They even got a set to keep, and use another day. They rode on the King's Swing, the guys pushing off the swing knocking off Cadenza's left shoe. The day had been a thrill, and for the first time in quite a while, (F/N) was happy to finally know people whom she could call her friends.

~~End of Filler, Onto a Time Skip~~

Still Your Point of View:

We had made it to Cadenza's and Laurence's house, and Garroth helped me out. I thanked him, and all of us walked up to the front door, in costume... Laurence unlocked the door, and opened the door for all of us. The interior was... beautiful. The house was also really big.
"Welcome home kids. How was the Festival?" a man walked into the area we were standing in, and smiled, "I see you all had a blast, I'm assuming? Your face doesn't seem too familiar though." he walked up to me, "You must be (F/N). Both Cadenza and Laurence have told me so much about you. It's a pleasure to meet you. Welcome back Garroth, Dante. It's always great to see you guys too!"
"Thank you, sir." I smiled.
"Oh please, just call me Hayden. Now, I'm gonna leave you kids to it! If you need anything, just holler!" he walked off, and I took off my shoes. We all had our bags with us, and walked upstairs.
"Alright Cadenza. Make sure you and (F/N) are settled in. The guys and I are gonna set up..."
"You all can set up in the couch area up there!" Hayden yelled.
"Never mind. Come on guys!" Laurence and Cadenza led us to the area Hayden mentioned, and must I say, it was huge. There was a huge couch, that looked incredibly soft. There was a huge TV, and a 6 person table with chairs. There was also a cabinet, and a bookshelf.
"This is normally wear we do school projects and sleepovers. OK, Cadenza, (F/N), you guys can take the couch. The guys and I can set up the air mattresses." Laurence explained.
"Cool with me. Are you OK with that, (F/N)?"
"That sounds great. Alright, while you guys set up that, Cadenza and I can set up the projects." I offered.
"Sounds good." Garroth smiled. The guys walked out, and Cadenza grabbed her laptop. She looked up the projects, and I got out the plans for the skit and baking. I also got out the cards for the art project. The guys came back with the mattresses, and blew them up, and Cadenza and I prepared snacks like popcorn and chips. Soon, everyone was sitting around table.
"Alright guys. So, we have a couple projects on our hands. We have the art project, and then we have to write a script for Performing Arts." Laurence continued, "We have all night to do them. It's 3:30 right now, and dinner's in like 2 hours. If we can finish one of the projects before dinner, then we can have a ton of free time after finishing the other project!"
"Right you are. Which project should we work on first?" Dante asked us.
"I think it's ideal to work on the designing. It's definitely gonna take less time than the skit." I replied.
"That sounds like a plan. So, Ms. Rockwell said for an A, we could make a collaboration piece, where we combine the pieces together." Garroth explained.
"I like that idea. We will definitely need to work on the color coordination, and I think we should add an Easter egg. Those things are like, the best techniques for an A." Cadenza smiled.
"Great!" For that next hour, we had managed to design the things, draw them out(thanks to Cadenza), and managed to shade in detail. We also wrote up an explanation of what we added, changed, and our Easter egg... which I thought was so cool!
"Guys, we did all that in an hour!" Laurence smiled.
"That's awesome! At this rate, we'll have so much free-time!" Dante high-fived Laurence.
"Alright, so what's next?" Cadenza asked us.
"The skit I think." I grinned, "It says in order to get an A on this one, we need to include drama, comedy, and a song."
"I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS!" Cadenza squealed, "This is gonna be amazing! We already have awesome costumes! (F/N)... did you?"
"You bet." I walked over to my bag and pulled out the wands. One was a fairy wand. It was translucent, and lit up when you twirled it 3-5 times. The other was a wizard wand, that was wooden, and had an array of small lights, which were all powered by battery. You had to forcefully slam it straight, and it would light up.
"YES!" Cadenza grabbed them, and handed Dante one. "These are our wands! Since you are the wizard, and I'm the fairy, we get wands!" she twirled it 3 times, and it lit up, "It works too!"
"Does mine?" Dante asked out-loud. He pointed it at Garroth, and it lit up! "Yes! These are amazing!"
"Glad you like them! This gives us one idea for the script." I giggled, "Let's get started, shall we?" for the next hour, the 5 of us successfully wrote the beginning and the middle of the skit. All we needed was how the Prince saved the Princess, and lived happily ever after. That was easy, right?
"Kids! Dinner's ready! We ordered pizza!" Hayden shouted.
"Hold up, I'm gonna change into my pajamas." I grabbed my bag, and went to the bathroom. Little did I know everyone else did, and when I walked out, the guys were in T-Shirts and either actual pajama bottoms or sweatpants, and Cadenza wore a white t-shirt with green bottoms. I was wearing a pair of (F/C) pajamas pants, and a gray shirt. My hair was still done, as well as Cadenza's. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get dinner, I'm starving!" We all walked to the kitchen, and there was surely enough, 3 pizzas laying on the kitchen counter. There was also soda and water, as well as salad. We all filled our plates, and talked about the day and how amazing and majestic the script would be.

Garroth's Point of View:

I looked over at (F/N), who was laughing along with the rest of the group. I smiled along with the group, and mentally sighed. Dante looked over to me with a look, and soon everyone finished dinner.The girls and Laurence headed up, and Dante and I stayed down.
"Hey, how's the footage?" he asked me.
"I'm not sure. I haven't checked. Did you get the..."
"The dress? You bet! Dude, (F/N)'s gonna appreciate it. I'm sure of it. Did you record what's happening tonight?"
"Yeah. You know how I said (F/N) was good at singing?"
"Yeah."
"Well, we were singing in the car, and I set up a camera thinking I'd be able to get something. But, I got our duet. I think I'm going to make it the background music."
"You should. She'd love it. You're doing an awesome thing, Garroth. I'm proud."
"Thanks Dante. We'd better get up there, before they catch us."
"Yeah, let's head up there." Hopefully Dante was right. Hopefully (F/N) would like it.

WHAT'S GARROTH PLANNING??!!!? Well, only I know!! (>:D) Anyways, look who finally updated! Surprise! And because I had an outburst of ideas for this darn sleepover thing, I just had to make it two parts XD... aside from that... just know that I really do plan on updating more often that what I've been doing now. I stink at updating things! But, I was thinking of doing a Halloween special. It would have nothing to do with the plot itself, but it would be just a cute short, that was in this book. What do you guys think? Let me know what you think in the comments. Also, that last chapter... more than 50 votes... guess who's gonna sing for you all? This girl... I am SO SELF CONSCIOUS OMG!!! But, I managed to sing in front of my whole school, singing in front of a camera shouldn't be hard. So, yeah. But, I am so excited about a couple things, and I'm gonna tell you them! So, I want to know in the comments, what are you gonna be for Halloween? I'll tell you what I'm gonna be. I'm actually dressing up with a few of my friends as characters from Attack on Titan. I'm going to be Hanji Zoe! So, yeah! Also, I released the first chapter to my book I will be publishing. It is called The Study and Sweets Club! If you want to see my project for November, then that's it! I am so excited, and I absolutely love the concept. If you like high school drama and romance, then that's for you! But, enough of this author's note, it's too long XD Anyways, I hope enjoyed this part, and I'll see you in the next one! Buh-bye!! ~Morgan :D
