Mika noted how the walk with Collar was kinda quiet. "So do you have any good memories from your past." She asked after a few minutes. She couldn't help but send multiple glances his way. He looked so much like Mask. She could just picture herself walking with Mask instead.

Avia felt like jumping up and doing a happy dance. She wondered if the scaredness he had in his voice was for the actual people in the ball or for Mika. She decided to push it a little. "I dont think it will be that bad. She looked really happy with him." She wished she could just take that back. Mika didn't really look happy with that guy at all.

Collar thought. " None...my mother was the only happy memory...but she died a long time ago... " he fiddled some more with the collar.

-------------------

Mask sighed. " She must of been forced into it... " he muttered. Maybe he could get Collar to not go to the ball...and maybe stop him doing any harm...

Avia shook her head. "No way, she would've asked me for help." She stated matter of factory. She wondered if the only reason she was going to the ball with Collar oa because he looked like Mask.

Mika sighed. "Im sorry for the life you Had to live. No one should've went through that." She said and took a left at the corner. She loved the way the long lace flew around her. It made her feel like a wind goddess.

Mask sighed. Poor Mika...he thought.
A idea then came to Mask, he could try and get Mika away from him! That way he wouldn't be able to hurt her...but how would he do that? Oh, he thought, it's a ball...ball = dancing...

----------------

Collar sighed. " Doesn't matter anyway... " he said, following her as they turned a corner.

Mika stopped andd turned around and looked at him. "It does matter. Everyone needed to be loved and at least have one good memory." She said and than started walking again. She could she the museum. They were a few blocks away. Excitement and dread filled her.

Avia sighed and looked at the clock. "We need to go." She said and hopped up off the couch. The Bacall started in ten minutes. They were going to be late.

Javikia a and Tamikia stood outside the front of the museum waiting for it to open.

Jade put on a few laaast finishing touches with the decorations.

James waited for his guy friends to show up.

Nick fixed his tie a and sat on a bench nearby waiting.

Mask nodded. " Come, everyone get in my car, we can drive there... " he said, getting up. He pushed Hatter out of the way and walked to his car. Hatter looked at his brother. " He seems worried... " He muttered.

--------------------

Collar shrugged and looked at the museum. " It's been held at a museum? " he said.

--------------------

Sky came to the doors of the museum dragging Zay. " Hi James! " he yelled, walking over to his friend.
" And why was I forced to put Zay in a Tux?! You should of helped! " he said, slightly angry.

Cora walked out to Mask's car. "Let's go." She said. She didn't really believe Collar would... She sat in the backseat.

Mika nodded and sat down on a nearby bench. "Yeah, the girls parents own the museum." She said and saved enough room for him to sit down to. She wondered were Hatter and Mask was.

Avia started dancing around Hatter than exited the house, jaumping into the backseat of the car. She knew why Mask was so worried and excited her. "I wonder if Mika is there" she wondered out loud. Chills ran up her spine. What if he had done something bad to her.

James laughed and he pointed towards Javikia and Tamikia. "Army those the girls that invited us three?" He asked and grinned.

Mask wait till everyone was in and slammed his foot down hard of the accelerator. I hope I'm not to late and he hurt Mika or anyone else....Mask thought.
Hatter smiled at Avia. " You look exisited... " Hatter said.

----------------------

Collar nodded. " Uh... " his mind started wondering as he thought about how we could wreck this ball for Hatter and Mask...

----------------------

Sky looked over and nodded. " Yeah...looks like two of the three pretty girls... " he said,
Zay groaned. " No way! You got me in a tuxedo and I'm gonna stop you from flirting... "
Sky pretended to be angry at Zay. " Spoil sport! "

Avia laughed, that was a total understatement. "And your not? She asked and looked out the window. With the way Mask was driving they would be there in a minute at the least. She watched the houses fly by and she wasnt able to count them like she used to.

----------------------

Mika smiled at him and watched Jade open the doors of the museum. "Come on." She said and held her hand out for him to escort her in. They would hopefully get there picture taken and she could flash it around in Masks's face.

----------------------
James laughed at he two. "You guys remind me of an old married couple. Seriously, you should think about hooking up." He said and laughed some more. He was waiting for Sky to hit him.
