A New Beginning (Akko x Andrew) *HIATUS*

Magical Celebration (Part 2)

Akko, Lotte, and Sucy entered the grand hall. Akko headed toward the food bar right away, but she was interrupted before she could eat...

"Umm... excuse me," a girl around Akko's age asked. She was with a group of friends. "Are you Atsuko Kagari?"

Akko turned to her and smiled, "Yes, I am."

The girl turned to her friends, and they all smiled happily. In an upbeat voice she asked, "May we have your autograph!?!"

A sweat dropped on Akko's face. She knew she had it coming. "Gladly!" she said and signed on the teenagers' notebooks.

More people started to notice Akko and her friends. Suddenly, they were surrounded by a bunch of people. Andrew and Frank who just entered the hall were pushed off by the crowds, and they couldn't see the witches anymore. Some of the people who were surrounding Diana left to see Akko instead.

"AKKO!!! AKKO!!!" they shouted, "OH MY GOD, IT'S REALLY HER!!!" "SHE'S A LOT CUTER IN PERSON!!" "LITTLE MISS SAVIOUR!!!" "CAN I HAVE YOUR PICTURE!?"

Why are there so many people in this party!?, thought Little Miss Saviour, I'm so hungry...

...

Paul Hanbridge along with a couple of men in black suits and shades barged into the room. He looked angry. "Who let all these people into the room!? Where are all the securities," he demanded, "I want explanations!!!"

"Found them, sir," one of his men said and pointed into the crowd at three men in black suits and shades. They were surrounding Akko and her friends, asking for autographs...

Hanbridge senior looked extremely furious. "How irresponsible! Go get them out and tell them to do their job! I want these people out!" he ordered his men, "Also, report their names to me."

-*-

It took a while for the securities to clear out the paparazzi and uninvited guests. Meanwhile, the people with invitations were evacuated to different rooms...

Akko's stomach growled. "I'm so hungry!!" she complained while touching her tummy. It growled even more. She glanced at Andrew who was talking to Frank and his other friends. "Oh shut up!" she ordered her stomach.

Sucy eyed at Akko. "Here are some mushrooms," she offered.

"Thank you, Sucy!!" Akko cried happily and about to grab the shrooms. "Wait a minute! It's poisoned isn't it!?" she accused and pointed at the suspecious fungus on the young witch's hand.

"No..."

"I'm not eating anymore of your mushrooms!" Akko shouted angrily.

Sucy remained emotionless. Lotte's sweat dropped, "This isn't really the time, Sucy..."

"..."

"Wow. This party is just great!" Akko heard a familiar voice said in sarcastic tone. "Can it get any better?"

"Amanda?" Akko asked the person.

Amanda turned around and greeted, "Sup!"

"What are you doing here? Did you snuck in here?" Akko gave her a suspicious look.

"Excuse you! We were invited here, too."

"We?"

"Hello, everyone," said Jasminka as she approaches her friends. She had a bunch of food in her arms. Constanze and her small robot walked beside her.

Akko's eyes glowed when she saw them. "Jasminka! Constanze!" she dashed to the girls and plead, "Those... can I have some, too, please?" She drooled.
