Magic Music- Setolox

Chap. 4- Guardian Faries&Ball

Seto looked on in confusion bickered over who is introducing first.

"I'm Sky." A brunet like him, but with curls and wearing black shades. He had a yellow cloak, seemly smacking another with his sword that shined.

"Ow ow ow! I'm Mitch, stop that Sky!" Another brunet, but more so of a lighter shade of brown, with amber eyes. His cloak was red and black, with white underneath. He had a diamond sword, fighting with annoyance with Sky.

"I'm Jason." Blue-haired with little spots of yellow, Jason had a light blue cloak dotted with the stars and constellations. Seto found him the least chaotic one. He had a wand with a star on top.

"And I'm Jerome." Furry, Seto identified him as a Bacca, his cloak black with a red tie. He had a diamond axe on his back, emitting sparkles.

The four looked him over.

"You want to go to the ball, right?"

"What else?" Brice scurried onto Seto's shoulder, Ghost doing the same. Jason looked around.

"Bring me the finest sphere you can find." Jerome tapped his chin.

"Bring me two bunnies."

"Hand me the two mice."

"And tell me what you want to wear for the ball." Seto thought long and hard, knowing that he couldn't be recognized by his stepmother and sisters. But he needed to be recognized by Prince Ty...

"I'll think about it, I'll go get the items now." Running off, Seto rummaged around his room, picking up a marble. Digging through the gardens, he found two bunnies, bringing them back.

"Hey Seto!" Seto widened his eyes at Brice and Ghost.

Brice dressed in a black and yellow suit, hugging Ghost who had grey and neon blue with stripes of yellow.

"We're gonna be your escorts!" Bringing the marble and bunnies over, Seto watched as Sky and Jerome pointed their sword and axe, the marble becoming a gorgeous, lavender carriage, with a swirl design around. The bunnies, black and white, transformed into horses, neighing. Seto covered his mouth in amazement, looking down at his own hands.

"I know I have magic, but..." Clicking the collar off, Jason waved his wand.

"Just think of the outfit you want, and you'll get it." Thinking, Seto felt his clothes turn, smiling as he saw the finished product.

"Are you sure Ty will recognize you?"

"It's my only chance to not get recognized by my step mom and sisters." Wearing dark purple gloves and a cloak, a silvery line traced the sleeves. The center a creeper face, dyed red, and shoes black. Pants dark gray, and eyes having slightest bit of eyeliner. He wore a masquerade mask, the shape of wings. The ball was a masquerade party. He had a band of amethyst gems across his forehead, sighing in happiness. He remembered how he wore this when he was a little boy...

"Get in Seto!" Getting in, Seto looked back.

"Remember, the magic wears off when the clock strikes midnight!" Nodding, Brice and Ghost snapped the reins, the magnificent carriage taking Seto to the castle.

______

"Ten bucks that Ty is going to moon over Seto."

"Twenty bucks that Seto is going to be a flustered boy."

"Thirty that Ty is going to dance with Seto."

"Fifty that Seto barely makes it back in time."

"Deal?"

"Hell yeah." The four watched as Seto walked into the ball, people looking in wonder at the carriage and him.

Ty milled around, kissing the ladies' hands and handing out a few drinks, but had one person in mind.

Seto Xavi.

Seto stayed in a corner, holding his empty cup of water.

"Hello, sir." Blinking, Seto looked up, Prince Ty smiling at him. Sky grinned, holding his hand out as Jerome grudgingly slapped twenty bucks in. "You're outfit and mask look very pretty, it's exquisite.

"T-Thank you, but your outfit is much better." Ty chuckled, Seto blushing more.

"Not much on socializing?"

"N-Not much, really. I-I prefer to stay inside." Seto fumbled with his empty cup, Ty taking it and giving Seto his cup. "H-Huh?"

"Take it." Blushing and taking a sip, Seto looked down bashfully.

"I-I shouldn't be as worthly for you t-to talk to me."

"Nonsense, I find you very interesting!" Giggling, Seto blushed.

"What's your favorite animal?"

"A dragon, why?" Waving his hand, Seto conjured up an emerald dragon, flying before erasing it. Ty watched in wonder, clapping. "Beautiful!" Chatting through the night, Ty smiled, hearing the part where they slow dance. "May I have this dance?"

"H-Huh?" Holding his hand out, Seto blushed bright pink, taking it. Instead of dancing at the dancefloor, Seto followed Ty to the balcony, slowly dancing under the stars.

Ty had a dragon mask, colored purple. Seto blushed as Ty continued to talk to him, often complimenting on his outfit. Mitch grinned, Sky groaning and giving him ten and Jerome getting Mitch to give him thirty.

Continuing to dance, Seto froze when he heard the first bell.

The spell wears off at midnight!

"I gotta go, I'm really sorry!"

Second bell.

"W-Wait!" Seto ran through the ballroom, Ty chasing after him.

Third bell.

"I-I'm so, so sorry, I-I need to go!"

Fourth bell.

Seto saw Brice and Ghost impatiently at the carriage, almost throwing him in.

Fifth bell.

"Wait!" Ty ran down the steps, reaching out. "What is your name?"

"It's-"

Sixth bell.

Brice and Ghost snapped at the reins, the horses galloping away quickly.

Seventh bell.

Seto watched as the trees flew by, crossing his fingers.

Eighth bell.

"Shit! Wrong way!" Seto yelped as the carriage lurched, holding onto the railings.

Ninth bell.

"Where should we drop you off?!"

Tenth bell.

"Garden, now!"

Eleventh bell.

Seto almost flew out of the carriage, collapsing onto the ground.

Midnight.

Everything changed back to normal, Seto looking at his tattered outfit. Brice and Ghost climbed to him, giving a hug the best they could.

Jason held his hand out, all three of them giving him fifty.

"The prince is having another ball to find the person who he wants to become his queen, you have another shot."
