When we arrived at his house, wee weet! Cross's house is bigger but Chad's still quite big and all the furniture glow in the dark with how shiny they are!
We went up to the second floor of the house to go to his room. Wow, his room is also clean even if it's a guy's room. His room's simple but it's wide, there's a big tv, a large bed, a mini fridge and it's own bathroom! It's really different when you're rich!
"Haaay. The this is, Lory's birthday is tomorrow already."
"So?"
"Help me!"
"Ha? What help you! How should I know? I don't even have any idea on how I'm able to help you."
"You can help me."
"How even?"
"Okay, listen to my plan."
"What plan?"
"My plan for her birthday tomorrow!"
"Nye! So you had a plan already! Okay, I'll listen. What even is your plan?"
"The birthday of Lory, masquerade is the theme of her party."
"Really? The one with masks?"
"Yeah. I intend to order someone, once the midnight dance starts, to turn off the lights in the whole palace and the moment it turns off, I'll grab Lory's hand and bring her to the back of the garden. Then I'll give her the ring there and propose for her to be my girlfriend."
"Wow, it's like you're proposing."
He scratched his head, "Is my plan not sweet?"
"Umm... yeah, it's sweet but it really looks like you're asking her for marriage."
"I want to marry her already but I need her to be my girlfriend first."
"Ah... wait, why does the lights need to be turned off? Couldn't you take her without turning them off? I mean, you can ask her to go to the garden. What kind of drama is that?"
But really, to be honest, the blackout effect feels stupid for me. They might even trip, the result of his plan wouldn't become good.
"You don't get it, it's to have a kidnap effect! Everyone will be in chaos because the celebrant disappeared, they'll think that someone kidnapped her but the truth is, I'm asking her to go out with me. Then when she says yes and we become a thing, we'll go back inside the palace and we'll be seen by the confused crowd then we'll announce that we're officially a couple. The anxiety of the guests at the party will change to cheers from our announcement. Don't you think my plan is cool?"
"Eh?" I forced a smile, "Ah, yes. If you say so." Okay, let's just agree even if in reality, it's uncool.
"Now, here's why I need you in this plan, I want for you to give this to Lory as a gift." He handed me a necklace. "It has a transmitter inside so you need to give it to her straight away and convince her to wear it on her birthday. She wouldn't refuse you because you're close."
"Eh?" I grabbed the necklace and looked at it. "Transmitter?"
"Yes, since the lights will be turned off, I won't be able to see Lory that's why she needs to wear that transmitter. So please Peppy, help me. You're the only one I know that can help me because I know she wouldn't refuse if you requested for her to wear it immediately. And also, you're the only person I can trust with these things."
"Trust? Me? Are you okay? I'm not trustworthy."
"I know you're trustworthy, Peppy. Please?"
What kind of person can reject a request from a person that's doing puppy eyes and super duper uber ever cute?
"Fine."
I placed the necklace in my pocket before I even lose it. "I'll do it."
"Thank you Peppy!"
I was surprised when he hugged me all of the sudden. I'm starting to blush, he hugged me... Uwaaa! I got butterflies on my stomach! He smells good!
