Act 4: Dance Party

"Where are you going, Gladion?" I asked my brother one day.

"Just running some errands." As he left, he dropped something in the trash can. I know it's kinda weird, but I looked to see what he threw away. It was an invitation... to a Dance Party? A super expensive dance party? How'd my brother get ahold of this?

"I want to go!" I exclaimed with excitement. "...but I don't have anything to wear..."

"Hey, Lillie!" my talking Meowstick, Luna, greeted. "I just made a little something for you!"

"What is it, Luna...?" I asked. There's no way it could be as amazing as this invite...

"I made you a transformation pen!" A pen?

"But I already have a brooch..."

"This pen gives you disguises. You just say 'Moon Power, change me into..." and then you say what you want to be. Give it a try!" Wait... anything?!

"Okay! Moon Power, change me into a beautiful princess!" It really worked! Soon enough, I was wearing a beautiful dress!

"Seriously, Lillie?"

"Now I can go to the party! Yay! Oh, and I should invite Lana and Acerola there, too!"

"Wait... What party?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I arrived at the party right on time.

"C'mon, girls!" I exclaimed, picking up my dress and running in.

"Wait up, Lillie!" I heard the others say. Nope! If I wait up, I'll miss all the dancing! As I ran in, I saw how crowded the place was. So many people here... WHOOPS! I tripped on my dress and fell down. I got up and made my way outside. I sat on a bench and checked the damage.

"Oh no..." I whispered to myself. "It's ripped..." My dress had a big rip through a layer. What's a princess who doesn't have an acceptable dress? I should've known this was a bad idea...

"Now, why would a lovely lady such as you doing out here?" Who said that? I turned and saw... Tuxedo Mask?!?!

"W-Why are you here, Tuxedo Mask?" I asked him.

"You came here without knowledge of why this is being hosted?" he asked me. "There's going to be a jewel display here, and I am searching for a particular jewel." A particular jewel?

"What is this jewel?"

"That is none of your concern. But aside from that, I do believe you came here to dance?"

"Yes... I did..."

"Then shall we?" He wants to dance with me?!?!

"O-okay...". He guided me do the dance floor and we danced.

I feel like we could dance forever... he may not look like it, but he sure can dance...

But while we danced, there was an explosion! I ran out to see what it was. A monster! And a very jumpy one at that...

"i-T-'-s-A-l-L-m-I-n-E-.-.-." it proclaimed in a creepy voice. Chills went down my spine. It was so creepy and bouncy, it was making me dizzy...

"Watch out!" I heard someone yell to me. I turn around right as I trip on my dress and fall over the railing! I was falling until... I wasn't falling? I look up to see Tuxedo Mask holding on to the railing.

"I can't hold on forever," he told me. "Please do something." I use my free hand to search myself. I find that transformation pen that Luna gave me. Does this have any sort of grappling hook or anything that can help us? Tuxedo Mask loses his grip and we fall. I hold my pen up. Please do something, pen! I squeeze my eyes shut... but then open them when I feel gentle wind blowing. I see that my pen transformed into a parasol, and Tuxedo Mask looked just as surprised as I did.

I transformed and fought the monster. It was hard, because of the fact that it was so jumpy...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile...

'Observing really is such a bore', I thought to myself as I walked through a garden maze. A red rose lands in front of me. I turn around.

"So we meet again," he said as I faced him.

"Greetings, Tuxedo Mask."

"It's been a while, hasn't it, Sailor V? You've been hiding for so lo-"

"I still haven't forgiven you for your numerous thefts, Tuxedo Mask."

"Well, we can decide that later, can't we?" He threw another rose, and I barely dodged it.

"So, you're here to fight me. Okay then... Crescent Boomerang!" I threw my boomerang at him, but he dodges and it lands behind him. We then commence in hand-in hand combat. He takes me by surprise and pins me against the wall.

"Sometimes, I wonder who's side you're on," I tell him. He just smirks.

"Well, if you knew, it wouldn't be any fun seeing you go easy on me."

"I think you have the wrong idea." I then flipped to behind him and locked his arms behind his back. Before I could tie them, he throws me to the other wall. He pins me this time with his roses.

"Why do you seem to like fighting me?"

"Because it's always been the highlight of my day, fighting against you. It makes me feel good when I win."

"Win?" He leaned in close and began to whisper in my ear.

"You know you'll never be able to win. Not in the state you're in. You can barely fight me... why are you held back so much?"

"I..." Why do I hold back? Not even I know...

"See you later, V," he said as he walked away. He snapped and the roses pinning me vanished. Tuxedo Mask... your skills surprise me...
