After the whole name calling thing she let us just sit for awhile. You notice that all the butlers seemed to sneak their way out and go somewhere. You assume their making food for everyone.

You feel a tap on your shoulder. You turn around to see Grace Lee.

You and your four friends have mostly only talked to each other, and the other four only talk to each other as well.

"What do you think they will be serving for food"

Grace Lee asks you, Erin and Gracie.

"I hope its good because I'm starving."

Gracie responds rubbing her stomach in a circular motion.

"Me TOO"

Erin says loudly then she pushes her hands in Gracies face and Gracie slaps them away.

Just as that happens all the butlers come walking out from the back porch door.

They're all carrying silver trays with silver dome covers over them, like what you'd see in a movie.
All the butlers walk past Charlotte and bow, then continue.
Each Butler goes to their girl. They all stand behind you and the other girls.
You look over to Charlotte who is watching very closely at all the boys.
She grabs her glass of wine and takes a sip then sets it down, and that must have been a sign to the guys to set down our food.
They lean to the right of us and set down our platters.
Moving there hands to the top where they take off the lid, all the boys in perfect sync.

What was revealed under the silver looked amazing. And tasted amazing too.
It was cooked salmon with lemon sauce drizzled over the fish, with mashed potatoes stuffed with herbs.
And not only was the food delicious, the wine was extraordinary.

Maybe half an hour later, Char stands up and tinks her wine glass with her fork.
She sets the utensils down now that she has everyone's attention.
"I hope our new members, and everyone else had an amazing dinner. I sure thought it was amazing!
But, I would like you all to go get into more comfortable clothing and meet me back here at 8:45pm."
She smiles and that waves her hand to motion all the people away.
You and your three friends walk together.
"Aww, I kind of liked the dress, besides how EMO it is."
Erin emphasis's EMO.
Gracie, Grace Lee, and you laugh.
"Well I'm excited to get into some joggers, cuz like, this dress is all lace, and that's really itchy."
Gracie points to the lace in her dress.
It's very true that the lace is itchy.
"Well for me, I hear my skinny jeans calling my name,"
Grace Lee laughs while talking.
Which make all you laugh with her.
They now look to you, waiting for what you are going to wear. Well, there's only one thing u would wear.
"Leggings and a sweater yo."
They smile and lightly laugh.
"Yup, kind of was expecting that."
Gracie sarcastically says back.
You look always from your friends realizing you all are already on your floor next to your bedrooms.
"We'll meet up in Erins room when we're finished, okay?"
Grace Lee asks in her motherly fashion.
"Why not mine? Since you know, Erin takes a year to get dressed."
You laugh because it's so true.
Erin glares at Gracie.
"Ya actually that sounds better"
Grace Lee nods and smiles.

You walk to your room and open up the door.
Everything's exactly how you placed it.
Wait no, one of your night stand drawer is open.
You use the top one, but not the other two.
The very bottom one, is not shut all the way.
You walk over to the stand and pull open the last drawer.
Inside is a note, with what looks like something underneath it.
You scoop up the paper and unfold it before looking at what was underneath.
The paper reads,

When finding this I assume you are either getting dressed for the next part of the party, coming back from the party drunk, or your really stupid and it took you a year to find this, which then, the object won't help. So until further notice, be careful.
And trust me, you'll need this.
Sincerely, someone who cares.

What is this?! You lift up the paper to see into the drawer.
A knife.
That's what was underneath.
A small 12in knife. A cherry wood handle smoothly polished with a (first letter of your name) carved into it. You grab it.
Wow, it's a lot lighter then you expected, and fits perfectly in your hand.
What did he note say again? I'm gunna need this?
Hmmm, you set the knife back in the drawer and close it fully.
You stand up and quickly go grab a pair of leggings and pull them on.
Also grabbing a dark purple oversized sweater.
You run out of your room and to Gracie's.
Inside Gracie is laying on the floor with Grace Lee sitting next to her.
"I'm still hungryyyy. "
Gracie complains on the floor.
"Aye, you"
She points to you.
"Go to my bathroom, and top drawer on the right has some Swedish fish in them, grab 'em for me. Thanks boo. "
You follow her orders.
But eating a few on the way.
Erin still has not arrived to the room and it's
8:39.
Six minutes until we're supposed to be outside.
Within a few seconds Erin busts threw the door 
in a dress.
But not the black one, a bright pink one.
With sparkles.
And a bow in her hair.
You look at her.
Then at Grace Lee and Gracie.
Grace Lee gives her a gentle smile,
And Gracie,
"ERIN?! WHAT ARE YOU WEARING?!"
She's laughing her head off.
"I wanted to look nice still."
Erin twirls around.
You laugh.
"Charlotte said get into more comfy clothes, not get dressed for the runway."
Gracie's still laughing while she talks.
"Well, whatever, we gotta go."
Grace Lee jumps up and leads you all out of the room.
