Ever since the incident with Jōhō, Lloyd had rarely talked about his father around the others, feeling guilty for Kai's sudden wild act. Tomorrow was the annual Amare festival and everyone was getting ready for the festival. Every year, the entire city held a festival and a big dance for someone to find and enjoy the day with their special sweetheart. Jay hummed a happy song in his head as he tried to pick the right outfit to wear for school.

He finally settled on a pair of finely striped, cotton trousers that reach down to just above his lace-up shoes, all of which were colored a dark blue.

They were paired with short, moderately dotted socks colored vanilla. A cream long-sleeved shirt was carelessly hanging over his trousers and covered with a narrow jacket. A light orange tie neatly rested in the middle of his unbuttoned jacket. As he left his room, he saw his parents sat at the table, enjoying their breakfast.

"Oh Jay, you look so handsome!" Edna smiled and gave her son a big hug. "Why are you all dressed up?"

"He's trying to impress someone special." Ed snickered as Jay blushed a bright scarlet.

"Dad." He whined loudly while his parents chuckled.

"You're a very nice boy son, any girl would be lucky to have you."...

Pixel hissed in frustration as she rummaged through her giant closet, trying to find something to wear. With the festival being tomorrow she was hoping that she and Zane could go together, so she had to be smart. She picked out a glittering violet tank top with black pants and dark purple. shoes. As she exited the closet she cried out when she suddenly tripped on a mythological creature's book. She was still hunting for her beast in the forest.

She was about to put it away but decided she would finish reading it at school.

"Pixel, breakfast is ready," Her father, Dr. Cyrus Borg called up to her room and she quickly rushed downstairs. When she entered the kitchen she saw her father serving up some eggs and bacon before returning to his laptop. Cyrus Borg had a gray suit and black sweater, jet black hair usually combed over to one side, and crow's feet around his silvery-blue eyes which had gray glasses. He was born with no feeling in his legs, leading him to spend his life in a regular wheelchair.

When Borg saw what his daughter was holding he scowled.

"Are you still looking up monsters, dear?"

"There's something out there Father, I know there is!" She argued.

"Oh yes, and I suppose it's the same monster as your werewolf friends?" Borg counted. He loved his daughter but he greatly worried about her physical and mental health, especially when she started accusing her own friends of being werewolves.

"Well... I..."

"I rest my case!" The man sighed before rolling off to see to his work. Pixel just kept her head down and ate her breakfast silently...

That afternoon Lloyd and all his friends were in the school cafeteria, trying to enjoy the slop they were served. While the girls were in the line, Zane and Jay shifted nervously in their seats, unsure what to do. They really wanted to ask Pixel and Nya to the festival tomorrow but they didn't know how or when to do it. The second the girls sat down Jay and Zane stopped fidgeting and smiled at them.
