A,N: Here is the next chapter my dear readers. I am so sorry for the wait. I kinda had vacation and other problems to deal with, so didn't manage to write much. However, I can tell you this chapter is properly worth the wait. This is the school festival with a certain twist. You can start reading and see what I mean. 😊 Have fun reading.

Normal p.o.v.

A ball, prestige and inviting, were in process at this unknown castle. Just as a ball should be of course. Decorations were all around and made the castle look even more beautiful as it already were. Light were shown in the sky as torches were shown around at the walls in here, and beautiful music could be heard from somewhere, along with the scent of food who were coming from the different tables around in the ball room. Guests in their finest clothes and wearing masks, entered the ball room. After all this was a masked ball, and people were dressed for the occasion. Just like this boy who was also attending. He was dressed in a fine gray suit, and mask who was in the same color and covered most of his face. Only his grey eyes were present, when you were staring directly at him. The boy sighed deeply. All this made him rather uncomfortable. This was so far away his normal dress code. He had only been attending this ball because he was befriended with the royals and politely had accepted the invite. In reality he didn't want to. He was longing for something more exciting. Something that could make him free. He had decided he was gonna leave as soon as he had greeted the royal family. That however could take a while, since the subjects were surrounding that particular family at the moment. It was after all a big celebration today, and everyone wanted the chance to lash onto them for favors. The boy sighed deeply and decided that he needed something to drink. The crowd of so many people here made him rather uncomfortable, but then again, such events always made him feel like that. One of the reasons he was keeping himself in the shadows. He was not meant for such royal life. That was for sure. He took some steps forward. He was on the way to the food table where drinks were standing. Some servants were carrying trays with the drinks as well, since sometimes there could be lines at the food table, and the boy was more for addressing the servants, than taking a long march over the floor to the food table. Many guests were dancing after all. Sadly, the boy didn't manage to get much forward, since someone suddenly bumped into him. The boy had good balance, so nothing really happened to him, but it was a different story with the one bumping into him. The boy turned of course around to see what was going on, and found a girl sitting groggily on the floor. The boy was of course a gentleman and were soon holding a hand towards her. It was clear that she had been trying to cross the room just like him, and he guessed she had been bumping around in the crowd of people, and thereby bumped into him.

"Are you well my lady?" he asked politely as the girl finally noticed his hand and took it.

She nodded, and the boy figured she was slightly embarrassed over what had just happened. Not that the boy minded it anyway.

"Ah um yes my..." she said but then went silent.

She was staring into his gray eyes. Even with a mask on he could see her purple eyes stare back at him. She did seem worried. The boy turned his attention to her looks. It was first now he noticed how pretty she was, even though her face was hidden. Long orange hair was hanging loosely down to the mid of her back, and she was dressed elegant yet not too eye catching. A simple tunica and skirt. Boots were gone up almost to her knees, which was something the boy wondered were uncomfortable wearing. A few pieces of jewels were shown on her as a pair of earrings and tiara, who was placed on the top of her head.

"Oh my apologies princess" The boy apologies and bowed respectfully "I didn't mean to be disrespectful".

He was about to kiss her hand, but the girl wouldn't let him. It was first now the boy noticed her distasteful gaze as she moved her hand away. She was clearly not liking this attention. The boy cursed himself for not noticing.

"Please I beg you. Don't call me princess" the girl then pledged "Or to be so formal with me. My brother insisted on me being formal and traditional. He wouldn't let me go otherwise".

"I don't understand prin... my lady" he corrected quickly and looked puzzled at her "But isn't it important for some of your status to Be recognized?". The girl sighed deeply.

"I am sure you, my dear knight, would understand my reasoning" she then said, and the boy was sure she was smiling "After all, aren't you here disguised as well?". The boy looked stunned at her. He even swallowed a lump in his throat. She knew he was a knight?!

"Well I am only formally here" he then answered truthfully "One of my friends, which happens to be the crown prince, asked me to come. It is after all his crowning's ceremony today, but it seems like the commoners and nobles, can't let their eyes off him today. Poor soul".

He turned his attention towards the crown prince who right now was surrounded by pretty girls. All who really wanted to lash onto him and make him dance with them. The boy shook his head a little. He could see the princess follow him with the eyes as well.

"But if I am allowed to ask, how did my lady know of my title as knight?" the boy continued and turned his attention back to the princess.

The girl giggled a little. It was a contagious little laugh, and the boy ended up smiling behind his mask.

"Oh honestly my dear knight, that is fairly simple. After all only a knight of your statue would even notice a princess in disguise" she then said and took his hand.

Her hand was warm and comfortable. The boy didn't want her to let go, but he was surprised over her gesture. He could see her purple eyes look up at him.

"Would you do the honor of having this dance with me?" the princess asked "You see I am quite bored at the moment, and from your movements minutes ago, you were as well. Isn't that correct My dear knight?".

The boy swallowed another lump in his throat. How could it be that a beautiful princess suddenly wanted to dance with him? That usually didn't happen. Was it because she couldn't see his face or where there something else behind it? His heart was beating extremely fast now. Right now he was happy he was indeed wearing a mask.

"It would be a great honor" he then said and lead her out on the dance floor.

Dumon woke up soon after. The dream was still fresh in his mind. How he had danced with the princess. How the ball had suddenly become fun. But then he had woken up in his bed and felt only emptiness once again. It was like he was missing something. Dumon knew of course what it was. He was missing Her of all people. Beside his bed on the floor was a book lying. A Fairy tale book he had been reading before bedtime and were properly the reason for this strange dream. Fairy tales were usual not his style of reading, considering the made up fiction in them, but She had been a fan of them. Nostalgia had hit him last night and yeah. Dumon sighed and got up from the bed. He picked the book up as well and placed it on the desk he was having. He dressed himself in his usual cloak, and soon as he was prepared, he began walking towards the throne room. He had a job to do after all. As he wandered through the hallways however, thoughts were entering his mind. Why? Why would I ever be dreaming of Her, at a time like this? It has been ages since I even had dreamed anything, unless... Dumon stopped up. He truly hadn't been dreaming of Her before. Dreams here had been rare in the first place. Usually dreams were their god's way of communicating with them, but that was usually Nash who had those. Dumon clenched his fists a little. Sure he was the temporary leader of the barians, but he had never had any dreams stating such claim. Dumon were staring at the reflection of a crystal who was floating in front of him now. Don thousand are you taunting me with that dream? Is that it? Or is there really more to it? A tiny light emitted from the crystal. Or it could have been a tiny reflection of the light hitting it, but Dumon still took that as some sign. His eyes widened. She is alive! Is that what you are telling me?! The crystal of course didn't respond to the thoughts in his mind, but Dumon didn't need much more convincing. He couldn't waste much more time. He walked with firm steps towards the throne room, and as soon as he made sure no one was here, he opened a portal in midair. With outstretched hand he focused his thoughts on everything he could remember from the dream. Her smile. Her eyes. Her hair. Just everything he could remember. Dumon knew this was half suicidal to travel without a location in mind. Worst case scenario he could end up stuck between the dimensions because he ran out of barian energy. Even if he ended up somewhere, it was no guarantee it was the same place as Her. It could be an unknown world, or even more dreadful, Astral world, which would mean his own execution. However, Dumon was prepared to go regardless the dangers, and soon he entered the portal.

Zaira's p.o.v.

Time skip. At the fun fair.

It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining. Our school was having our festival operated at our school, and I... well I was having the most torturous day in my life. Literally, since Yuma and Ray were both dragging me down the corridors of the school without my content.

"Let me go or you will regret it!" I shouted fiercely and tried to get out of their grip. It didn't happen. I believed the reason for that, was because both Yuma and Ray knew all my fighting pattern just now. I hissed angrily.

"Oh Zaira chan. Don't be like that" Ray purred innocently beside me. He was dressed in a 'Dandelion' costume, which looked ridiculous on him to say the least. But Maybe fitting too, since he clearly wasn't as innocent as he pretended right now.

"Yeah Zaira. You said you would help out in the monster café, and we are in desperate need" Yuma added in as he was having a tight grip in my left arm.

He was dressed in a 'temtempo the precaution Djinn' costume. Something I would have found funny, if not for my current situation. He had been late at the costume shop, but compared to me, I considered him lucky. He at least decided to dress like that. I on the other hand... I growled annoyed and was trying to slam my heels in the floor. All so they couldn't drag along with me. It did little, but at least I tried.

"Zaira. Don't be so stubborn!" Yuma sneered as he now had to pull harder. "The girl for our main attraction got sick. You are the only one who can fill in".

"Yeah. You are the only one with the right hair color" Ray added. I snort angrily.

"I didn't sign up for this. You can't force me!" I shouted. I was sure everyone in the corridor was glaring at us, but I didn't care. I was not gonna do it!

"The only thing you said to me was no cheerleader costume, and this is clearly not that kind of costume" Ray said and were suddenly glaring at me "I bailed you out remember. The least you can do is helping us out. That was why I nominated you for the job". I glared angrily at Ray now.

"That... That is blackmailing Ray!" I sneered. Ray send me an innocent smile.

"I would see it as more like a favor, than blackmailing" He then said in a thoughtful tone "I mean blackmailing are when money is involved right?".

"I don't care!" I sneered "You just gonna find another girl for the job. I am not doing it". Ray sighed deeply and let go of me.

"Okay fine. Guess we have to find someone else" He mused slowly and turned his back at me "I just thought you were a girl, who kept their promises. Oh well". I was staring in disbelief at him. Ray was trying to guilt trip me, and what was even more terrible, was that it was working.

"Grr damn me and my promises!" I shouted in an angry tone.

'

As we entered the monster café Tori, Cathy and the other girls were waiting for me surprisingly. All which made me dread what was about to happen. My shoulders were tense, as Tori and Cathy dragged me backstage, which in reality was just behind a curtain, and tossed me a set of clothes without saying much. Both of them was of course dressed in costumes as well. Tori was dressed up as Gagaga girl while Cathy was dressed up as Cat girl. Figured she would choose something with a cat. I looked at them with a pained expression.

"Do I really have to do this?" I asked and really hoped they would say no.

"Yeah of course!" Tori uttered annoyed "Go get dressed or we will do that for you".

"I can't see why I am the only one who has to do this. I mean there is millions of other girls in this school. Why me?!" I complained as Cathy began helping me in dressing. I was dragging this out as much as possible here.

"Ray already explained that I believe. You are the only one with the right hair color" Cathy sneered as I were fighting like crazy Not to get dressed.

I scolded annoyed at that. I had a feeling this was all an evil complot of some kind. All which it properly was since Yuma and the gang was in on it. Curse them all!

"Come on hurry. They all getting impatient!" Tori then sneered and looked at us.

She helped Cathy in getting the hat over my head, and even got extensions to the back of my hair, since it wasn't long enough. I hissed annoyed as Tori and Cathy then pushed me out from behind the curtains. My heels were planted firmly at the floor, but it didn't help much.

"Okay now go out there and act all cute" Tori demanded.

"Yeah say something enchanting" Cathy added in with a smile "They will love you".

"I really think this is a bad idea" I protested but didn't manage to do much as I was pushed out on the other side of the curtains.

People sitting at the café table was staring, and I turned completely red. Everything felt extremely uncomfortable, since I felt like this dress was to short, and that everyone was staring at me. Inside I was cursing Ray. When I got out of this costume I were going to kill him. So much that he wouldn't recover. That I wanted to make sure of.

"Wow, this is really Dark magician girl!" a boy shouted, "She is so cute!".

"I can't believe they actually manage to get someone to dress as her, and then make it so real!" another one said. I sighed deeply inside. Of all the costumes and then Ray dressed me up as Dark magician girl. He was so dead!

"Um eh... welcome to the monster café" I said and send them a little smile "Please sit down, and I will take your order okay". Cheers almost sounding from another world, soon followed, and I knew I was really gonna hate this day.

Shark's p.o.v.

Shark was now present in the theater, watching his class doing the play they had decided back then. Shark was pretty grateful that he didn't have to play the prince. Sadly, he couldn't get away with not watching it, since Rio now had the lead role as the princess and kinda forced him to stay and watch. Right how he really disliked his sister at lot. His thoughts wandered to Zaira instead, and he wondered what she was doing right about now. He knew she was helping out in the monster café made by Yuma's class, but he had no idea what that even meant, besides that Zaira shouldn't play princess in their play. Something Shark was happy about. He was not sure he was okay with Zaira getting hand kissed by someone else besides himself.

"Greetings oh great prince. Long have I yearned for the hour of your arrival" Shark could suddenly hear Rio say and turned his attention to the play once again. He really just wished this was over and done with.

"The anguish of our last parting has laid heavy upon my worn full heart" Rio continued, and Shark felt like he should puke. The prince took Rio's hand and said some cheesy line, Shark was sure he could live without.

"This play feels like a dream. A really bad one" Shark growled out in annoyance.

"Chill out Shark. I think Rio is a natural" a voice suddenly said. Shark turned surprised around and were now standing face to face with Bronk in a really bad costume. Shark must admit he got really surprised there.

"Who are you supposed to be?" Shark uttered stunned.

Bronk was having green paint all over his body. At his shoulders he was having cardboard boxes, and tin cans at his ears. He really looked bizarre here. Bronk send him a big grin.

"I am Gogogo golem" he then responded, "What do you think?".

"I think your costume is even worse than Rio's play!" Shark shouted in annoyance. A shoe got send flying, and suddenly hit Shark in the head. He turned surprised around to see Rio stare angrily at him up from the stage.

"Quiet back there! Don't spoil our big romantic scene or it is curtains!" he could hear Rio yell.

Shark growled annoyed and tossed the shoe back to her. He didn't even want to point out, that her outburst was very unlike a princess in general. Instead he turned around on the heel and decided to leave.

"Man I am bored" he stated and looked at Bronk "Any idea where Zaira is? We might as well enjoy the fair, before I go up stage". Shark still had time before he had to play at Starling's concert as Bass guitarist.

"Yeah I know, but you might not like it" Bronk teased and grinned "Right now Zaira is serving customers as the café, while dressed up as Dark magician girl".

"She is what?!" Shark uttered stunned.

Zaira's p.o.v.

I sighed deeply as I walked down to one of the tables to be of service to them. Since I had entered as a waitress here, dressed up as Dark magician girl, the café had been overrun by guys who wanted a peek at me. I sighed deeply. I couldn't believe so many people, especially boys, were such a big fan of dark magician girl. It was not like I wanted to do this here. I was a rebel and deep down I wanted to rebel against this. I wanted to get rid of this dress code and back in my regular clothes. Sadly, I couldn't since my other clothes were back stage. Tori and Cathy were pretty careful not to let me go back there. After all Dark magician girl was a huge success for their café. I just sighed deeply inside. I send the three boys at the table a big smile.

"Welcome to the monster café. How can I be of service to you?" I asked them. I were holding up cards who represent foods and drinks that they like to order.

"Would you like to go on a date with me?" one of them asked me. "I will buy whatever you like. Just give me a date".

"Me too!" the second one added in. As did the third one. Soon I had a shouting chorus of guys all over, since everyone here apparently wanted a date with me. I sighed deeply and cursed myself for getting into this mess in the first place.

"Sorry, but I already have a..." I tried saying, when suddenly a loud Boom could be heard and some of our façade for the café was ruined.

On a rocket blaster was a girl sitting. A girl I was very familiar with, even though we had only meet once in the WDC preliminaries. Anna Kaboom and she was of course one of the girls who also had a crush on Yuma. How a guy who was so clueless about love could get three girls to like them was beyond me. But then again, Trey also had a crush on me once. Love really was something strange. That was for sure.

"What's up Yuma and everyone. I heard your school is having a fun fair, so I decided to crash the party" Anna proclaimed pretty loudly. It was like she was proud of it.

"Anna! What were you thinking?!" Tori uttered annoyed. The girl just smiled sheepishly. I rolled my eyes. Her commotion had at least made the boys stop asking me for dates. That was the only plus here.

"Yeah this isn't a drive through restaurant" I could hear Yuma say.

I rolled my eyes. All that did, was Anna rushing over to him, and laugh at his costume. However, since Tori and Cathy now was occupied with Anna, this was my chance to get back into my regular clothes and get the hell out of here. I moved slowly towards the shadows.

And of course I didn't manage to get my clothes. In that moment, Ray just had to rush in here and notice me. Well me and Yuma.

"Yuma, I have big news!" Ray uttered and then send me a big smile "They are holding a couples duel!".

"What is a couples duel?" Yuma questioned in a puzzled tone.

"In this tournament, teams each made up by a guy and a girl will battle it out and whoever is left standing in the end, gets to take on two pro's" Ray explained rather ecstatic and were holding up a picture from his gazer. A man and woman was shown on the picture. I never seen them before.

"Brooke and Mayday Walker are a husband and wife team who have won a ton of tournaments together" Ray continued explaining "If you wanna test your skills this is a golden opportunity". '

I hummed a little at that. Maybe Shark and I should enter together too? That is if I could get out of these ridiculous clothes.

"Ah the chance to be dueling two pro's" Yuma uttered happily "Count me in!".

"Cool, but just remember, but just remember it is a couple's duel. You can't enter without a partner" Ray said, "But I really think you shall sign up though, because I heard Brooke Walker is planning to retire soon, and this might be your last chance to duel her".

Ray would properly have said more, if it wasn't for Anna grabbing him in the collar of the costume. She looked extremely pissed.

"What did you say? Brooke would never quit dueling! Take that back" Anna yelled.

"Um Okay, but it won't change the truth" Ray uttered. He was getting dizzy since Anna kept shaking him. "A little help here".

I just hummed a little and ignored the scene in front of me. Even though I wasn't the one hurting Ray, it felt justified for all he had put me through today. Anna however soon let go of him, and asked Yuma to be her partner for the couples duel which was a little surprising. I figured that was because Anna had something to do with those Walkers. She hadn't been the same since Ray mentioned them. However, Summer and Jen told her she couldn't since she wasn't enrolled in the school here. I was only half listening. I was once again trying to get backstage to get to my real clothes. Sadly, fate was still far too cruel to me.

"Zaira!".

Shark's voice rang through the whole classroom and corridor as my boyfriend scouted the area like a wild shark on the hunt. I must admit I turned completely red, since I was still dressed in this stupid Dark magician girl costume. Shark of course noticed me, and his eyes narrowed, as he walked in here. Silence were all around us as Shark then suddenly turned towards all the boys who were staring at me, or us in this case. His eyes really were like a wild shark on rampage, or in this case was possessiveness? Like his eyes were saying 'She is mine and you dare try anything or else'.

"We are leaving!" he stated in a cold tone and began dragging away with me.

"Eh what? But I need to change my clothes first" I uttered surprised.

"You don't need to!" Shark just stated as he began walking out of here. Surpringly we was meet with Ray who looked displeased at that.

"Ah Zaira chan, you can't leave. You are working at the monster café" He said.

"Oh yeah. That is right" I quickly said. I was happy that I was stopped because walking outside in this outfit would be embarrassment beyond belief. Although I must admit it was a little weird to be saved by Ray once again. That until...

"Here! you got to advertise" Ray then said and handed me a bag filled with flyers. He pushed us both through the door. Then he leaned in to my ear and whispered. "I even gave you a little surprise in there. I am sure you will love it. Have fun on your date!".

The last part was said loud enough so everyone else could hear it. I was completely shocked and dumbfounded to be honest. I was not sure what was most shocking. That Shark was jealous or that Ray just had send me on a date in a dark magician costume.

Ray's p.o.v.

Time skip.

Ray hummed inside as he, in directly, dragged Yuma to one of the bathroom stalls at the boy's bathroom. This was after all one of the places Astral would never go, and therefore be a perfect place for them to have a secret meeting. Officer and deputy that is. Yuma did follow him when he asked, but he did look mighty displeased as they hid in the bathroom stall.

"If we are gonna have a secret meeting, does it have to be here?" Yuma complained.

"It is not your place to question your superior officer Yuma" Ray just quickly countered "Remember, when we are on duty, I call all the shots. You are just a lowly deputy".

At that Yuma quickly gained compose and saluted, stating he was very sorry and that it won't happen again. Ray didn't comment on that, but these moments were one of the peers of having this disguise. Yuma was so fun messing with.

"Well that is better" He mused and looked at Yuma "I want you to keep a close watch on the school's fun fair. It is precisely these kind of events the barians would infiltrate". He could see Yuma's shocked face now.

"You really think so?" he asked. Ray nodded eagerly.

"We can't be too careful" Ray said and got up from the toilet seat he had been sitting at. "Patrol the fair and investigate any suspicious activity".

"Heard and understood sir. If I spot any barians I will ask them to duel me" Yuma said quickly and then bit his lip a little "I mean, I'll bring them to justice using the card issued to me by you sir". Ray's lips went up in a smile.

"That's exactly what I wanted to hear deputy" he replied.

They both got up and left the bathroom like nothing had happened. Ray couldn't keep himself from smiling on the inside. Everything was going according to plan. Yuma was going along with everything he said. Zaira was participating in the fun fair dressed up as dark magician girl and even the out of blue interference, was sort of taken care of. I knew you would come eventually Dumon. I had actually been expecting it, since you ordered Mizar to the human world. I have my own loyal spies in barian world. All there to keep an eye on you. So whether or not, Mizar has told you anything, I am prepared for your arrival. Do wonder what your move would be, when you cannot find Her Dumon. Ray chuckled darkly. There was a reason after all for why he had made Zaira dress up as dark magician girl. Ray hummed a little. I do wonder if Yuma interacts with him. If not, I have a plan B. Ray chucked a little again. He placed his hands in the pocket of his pants and looked up in the sky. A smirk were shown on his lips now. I do wonder if my dear little sister are in fact gonna use my gift. It would be a sight to see if she does. My dear sweet sister. Show me how manipulative you can be. He chucked evilly again on the inside.

Dumon's p.o.v.

The current leader of the barians had just arrived through the dimensional gateway and were looking puzzled around. After his supposedly jump into his unknown portal, this was the place he had ended up at. Dumon looked surprised around. After his weird stunt, he had been worried if he would be stuck in the dimensional gateway for all eternity. Luckily that hadn't been the case.

"Where am I?" he questioned himself as he looked around.

His eyes widened as he recognized the place. This was Heartland city, which meant he was on earth right now. Dumon eyes narrowed a little at that. The portal should lead him to Her after all. So did that mean She was here on earth or?! Sadly that wasn't the only thing happening. He had landed in the middle of the city. Sure he hadn't made a giant fissure, but he was still dressed in his barian cloak and appearance. Unlike his barian colleagues, Dumon didn't need a human form in the human world. People were staring and Dumon quickly left, hid in a dark alley and changed into his human form. If he didn't he would surely gain more attention to himself, and that he didn't want to. He didn't want Yuma or Astral to find him, before he had found Her. Soon he was human, dressed in a white t-shirt with a black west over it along with a green scarf around his neck. Grey pirate pants, white socks and brown shoes were also added in his dress code. In front of his grey eyes had glasses appeared and the look ended with his grey fluffy hair. He looked in the reflection of a window and nodded approved. It had been a while since he had used his human form, but at least he could still remember it, and furthermore She might as well. With that mindset he wandered through Heartland city.

He had never seen so many people gathered together. Dumon was speechless for at least some seconds, before he wandered through the crowd of people. He soon realized this was a school activity. A fun fair as a girl told him. He had been polite in asking. Dumon hummed a little inside. This was clearly an activity she would find interesting. Dumon sighed a little inside. A dreadful memory entering his mind. He shook his head a little, then continued onwards. He had no goal whatsoever.

"I am sorry" he whispered to himself "I promised that we would visit earth at some point, but we never had the time. Is this the reason for your disappearance my dear princess?".

He sighed deeply again. He really hoped that wouldn't be the case. He shook his head a little again. Of course that wouldn't be the case. She would never leave without telling me. She always consider other's feelings before her own. She is the hope of our world as Nash stated before he disappeared. She is my... Dumon blushed a little and shook his head again to clear his mind. He had to stay level headed and objective. He had to find her. He wandered through the crowd and like his dream, he was bumped around in the crowd. He could hear someone say something about some kind of singer and concert. Was that the reason for all these people gathering here? He continued onwards, and suddenly he bumped into someone. He was actually sitting on the ground, rubbing his rear end now.

"Hey, watch where you are going?!" a voice suddenly said and Dumon found a red/brown haired girl staring at him, and wait did she have a rocket blaster on her back?

Dumon eyes narrowed a little. If he remembered correctly from his entail of information, this girl was Anna Kaboom. She entered the WDC with Yuma Tsukumo and his friends. Dumon had been watching the events, as the numbers slowly gathered in the competition after all.

"My apologies" Dumon quickly apologies.

He didn't want to create a lot of attention to himself here after all. Anna snort annoyed, but she seemed to be in a hurry. Dumon heard her mumble something about that she needed to find Tori's locket room before she disappeared in the crowd. The barian emperor wondered what all that was about, but then decided to dismiss the thought. It was not the reason he was here after all. He got up and brushed off his clothes, before looking around again.

"If I were her, where would I then go?" He thought to himself in his mind.

He looked around. A lot of stands were around with all sorts of things. He himself was pretty curious. Humans had all sort of things the barian world didn't have. Many of his fairy tale books were brought from the human world. All to make Her happy.

"I could really go for something to eat. Any good stands around?" a voice suddenly said.

Dumon turned surprised around. That voice he knew. That was the voice of Yuma Tsukumo. There in front of him at the stairs to the school was Yuma Tsukumo really standing, and their nemesis the Astral prince Astral was present beside him. Dumon was almost prepared to go over there and challenge him to a duel. But only almost. He was not prepared for the confrontation sadly. He hadn't brought any barian sphere fields with him and for the moment had lack of a plan too. Sure he could use the foolish humans to do so, but even that took time to prepare. He couldn't use just anybody. They should be skilled at least.

"I think I saw a good stand over here selling dumplings Yuma!" another voice then said and got Dumon out of his thoughts.

A carrot haired boy were pushing the lobster haired Yuma towards a stand. Dumon's eyes narrowed. He had a weird feeling he had seen that male before. It didn't help with that they both surprisingly locked eyes, and he could see the boy smirk an almost cruel smirk, before him and Yuma disappeared in the crowd. That left Dumon with a feeling of dread for at least some minutes, before he continued his quest.

Finally the crowd let up, and Dumon sighed relieved. He really wasn't a guy who liked crowded places. He liked peace and quiet places. Places where he could concentrate and do decent work. The barian palace was not that overrun which was one of the places Dumon preferred to stay at. His room were preferred along with the library, but any other place there were welcome too, as long as it wasn't as crowded as here. He was right now at some grass areal. This was clearly a hangout for students when they had breaks from classes. Dumon noticed a lot of students, who were couples for sure, hanging around and just enjoying each other's company. It was nice, but all it did was giving Dumon heartache. He just missed her so much!

"Ahr come on Shark boy. Please for me!" he could hear a voice say. It almost sounded like begging.

Dumon by instinct turned towards the voice. He was not sure why actually, but soon he noticed a couple sitting on a bench a little away from here. A girl and a boy of course, and Dumon recognized the boy right away. He had been there as he watched the battle against Dr. Faker. That boy was Reginald Kastle.

"You can forget it Mr. Stubborn. You are not getting me into that thing! And that is final" he could hear Reginald say, and he had turned his back to the girl.

He had arms crossed over his chest to prove his defiance. Dumon turned his attention to the girl who was holding a costume towards him. It looked like a dark magician costume. She clearly wanted him to wear it. Dumon's eyes narrowed. He couldn't quite see the girls face, since the magic hat and dark magician costume kept her from out of view, but he guessed they were a couple too, and that Reginald refused to wear the costume the girl presented to him.

"Oh really now?!" the girl then sneered. She sounded accusing "You want me to stay dressed as Dark magician girl and then you don't want to dress up in a matching set. Where is the justification in that Shark boy?!". Shark snort coldly at that.

"The difference is that I have a concert soon and I refuse to go up stage dressed like that" he stated and send her a cold glare "Where did you even get that thing from?!".

"Ray gave me it" the girl replied and chuckled a little "It was in the advertising bag he gave me. Clearly he wanted us to match in public".

"I will kill him!" Reginald stated angrily. Dumon rolled his eyes. He knew in his information that Reginald alias Shark was stubborn, but to see that with his own eyes was still something different. He clearly was living up to his reputation.

"Oh you can kill him alright. AFTER you dress in the costume" the girl demanded firmly and were holding it in front of him "Either that or you let me go back to the café to get dressed in my regular clothes. Your choice".

"And I told you, you are not going back to the café" Shark sneered angrily "You are my girlfriend and I don't want any of the other boys to droll over you".

"Oh so you don't want me to get out of the costume, but it okay for you to Not be in one!" the girl sneered back.

"Yeah that is right" Shark answered back "It is humiliating!".

"Humiliating! You dare say that when I am dressed like this" the girl sneered and pointed at her own dress code "How do you think I feel?! You just such an idiot Shark!".

Dumon could see the girl toss the costume in the head of him and began running away. Towards him. At first Dumon thought that this might be a worthy candidate to take on Reginald Kastle to get his number. He was almost convinced about using Barian's force on her, as she ran by, but that was only almost. As she ran passed him, Dumon got a good look at her face, and in surprise he even dropped the barian card to the ground. That girl had not just been anybody. She looked like...

"Zaira!" Dumon whispered in a low voice.
