Today was the day.

It was June 15, ••••. The date of the L'manburg masquerade ball, the date George would see Dream again

"You really need to calm down" Sophie smiled laying on her stomach on George's bed

"I cant calm down" George spoke hurried "I'm seeing Dream after SO long, what if he suddenly loses interest in me?"

"You think HE will loose interest in you, good lord" Sophie rolled off the bed dramatically landing on the floor

"Hey! It could well happen" George huffed

George looked in his full length mirror, he was pretty much ready, he was wearing a white shirt, with a light blue waist coat and a light blue jacket over it, on his lower half was a pair of light blue trousers that matched the waist coat and jacket - these were held up with a  belt with a gold buckle, his shoes were black and polished

"For the one millionth time, you look great!" Sophie encouraged, messing up George's hair a bit

George pushed her hands "No. It has to be perfect and neat"

"It IS perfect" Sophie carried on messing it up before arranging it neatly "there you go"

Both George and Sophie left George's room and was met with Wilbur

"Oh hey Wil" George smiled

"Hey! You two look great" Wilbur smiled back

"Thank you!" Sophie and George beamed

"George I need to take you to your father, he wants to talk to you before the ball" Wilbur spoke quietly

George rolled his eyes and groaned "Oh I cant be bothered with him"

"I know, come on" Wilbur put his arm around George's shoulder pulling him towards the throne room to see his father, Sophie leaving elsewhere

"So, George" The king spoke "you do understand that this whole ball is so you can find a suitable partner right?"

"Yes sir I understand" George nodded

"Makes the right choice and don't let me down another time" the king sighed "find alliances, don't think too much about love, we need to be stronger"

George nodded and stayed silent

"Right. Now, leave and don't mess up your suit OR this night" The king glared

George said nothing again and left the room with Wilbur, they sat on a windowsill looking out on the village which was on George's floor

"I just hope this works George" Wilbur sighed "we can't have anything go wrong otherwise you'll never see the light of day again"

George nodded "Yeah, this is more difficult than I thought"

Wilbur pat George's shoulder and looked out he window "Well, would you look at that"

George turned to follow Wilbur's gaze and saw lots of people were beginning go make their way into the castle grounds. There was a sea of rich colours and extravagant hairstyles, George  hadn't seen that many people in forever

"Wow...I really underestimated to size of this party" George stared in awe

"Well, it's a ball, the first one here in a while. Of course people are going to turn up" Wilbur chuckled

"I don't want to do this" George sighed

"Look on the bright side, you see Dream later" Wilbur said still looking out the window
