The Early Evening[]
The ballroom officially opens as attendees enter the gorgeously decorated hotel and head towards the ballroom where classic love songs are playing for people to dance to. Paris makes her way inside, making sure her dress is in order with her future husband Travis by her side. Cameras flash as the couple makes their way in. "So, how much are you going to transfer for the charity?" Travis asked. Paris smirked, "At least about 5.5 million rings in total. Most went to the new children's hospital being built." The poodle said.
Srish: Why me? I don’t do dancing!
Dria: I had invited Alan, but he was very clear “No! I have Badniks to bust! There’s a Badnik Horde that’s been located recently, and I am on the team to destroy it!” Silence was impossible to locate after that. Either way, the Restoration needed to send someone from Team Dragoon, because think of the publicity! And I was too shy to go alone.
Entering the ballroom was an albino python in a purple dress, Perouze who was an up and coming young actress. The snake noted the stares at her, but for more than just herself. She was holding hands with a hawk in a red dress and leather jacket. "Oh don't be so shy~. You didn't act this way when we first went steady.", the python teased Rott.
"Well we weren't public then-.", the hawk was stopped short by Perouze. The snake would chuckle, "We're not exactly public now. The last guy I was with showed me up and it just so happened you were in the area luckily~. I can't show up to this thing alone can I?".
"Fair.", the hawk blushed profusely as Perouze practically dragged her into the ballroom.
(Dria then went to the donation zone to donate the money the Restoration had provided her for the occasion, while Srish tried to find the highest spot he could.)
Diamond was helped out of a limo out front as she posed for the cameras. She smiled and waved to them while making sure not to step on her dress before moving inside. "It's already so totally packed. I sure hope I still have breathing room. Where's Anna...?" She questioned, looking around.
Meanwhile, two delinquent looking boys in button up shirts glanced around. "Now, what kinda mischief can we cause...?" Dean smirked as Ezra laughed. "I dunno, but it better be good enough to get on the news. Didn't your dad donate a bunch of cash before he left for work this morning?"
"Yea. Publicity or some crap like that." Dean said, shrugging.
Attendant: Thanks for the donation!
Dria: Ok, now that that’s done, Where did Srish go?
(Dria then notices Srish on the 2nd floor, looking out at the event. She then headed to right below him to talk.)
Dria: Hey silly! Get down from there, I wanna start the dancing!
Srish: No! I told you I don’t do that!
Dria: Fine then, if you won’t come down, I’ll drag you down.
(Dria then flies up to the second floor.)
Srish: Right. Bird.
(Srish then runs for the nearest empty stairwell, and Grinds down the handrail, silently thanking himself for getting grinding training from Sonic. He then runs to the nearest door, before Dria stops him in his tracks.)
Dria: We ain’t leaving yet.
Srish: Well, if you won’t let me leave, I’ll break past you!
(Srish then punches at Dria, who then dodges and counters with a talon swipe, which Srish dodges. Dria then sees the opportunity, and starts attacking with moves meant for style rather than actual attacks, while Srish just keeps trying to make a break for it, while getting dragged into the dance. A small crowd forms around the two due to the small spectacle, and Dria keeps at it for a bit until pulling Srish in for a finishing move for the dance, and then a kiss, which catches the poor water strider off guard.)
Srish: Wha-why? You don’t like me like that!
Dria: I don’t like Alan that way either, but I do it to him too, because your reactions are just precious.
(The now slightly embarrassed Srish blushes, and then goes to sit down in a huff.)
"Huh...", the hawk would stare at the quarrel between Srish and Dria before Perouze dragged her further along. Rott shot her attention back to the python and asked a quick question, "Aren't you donating more to the charity fund?".
"I am, just not this second~. I wanna dance, hun!", the snake kept a hold of the other woman's hands as they danced.
Not long after Diamond entered, a tall older Maine Coon cat entered the ballroom while holding hands with a turquoise robotic hummingbird, "Usually I can't stand public events, but a charity would work wonders for our company's reputation and I can't pass up an opportunity like this.". Xiomara nodded, thankful her current robotic body couldn't quite replicate a blush on her face.
Thea followed behind her father diligently, though the young cat looked disinterested. "Run along, Thea. I'm sure there's some kids here your age you can make friends with.", Enzo shooed his daughter away as he took himself and his 'date' to the donation box. The short tuxedo cat sighed, "I really wish the others were here..".
Katalina and Penelope arrive in a modest sports car, climbing out as they hold hands. Penelope seems pretty terrified from all the paparazzi and fans screaming on the sidelines. "Uuuh...Im not used to having this many people stare at me..."
Katalina held her friends hand, "It'll be OK, I promise! Just follow my lead and you'll be fine!" The chipmunk smiled.
(Srish then noticed the sudden addition of new people.)
Srish: More people? Huh, i thought we were the last.
Dria: Come on Srish, get up! I wanna dance!
Srish: No!
Dria: Don't make me drag you.
Srish: Try it.
"After you madam.", a ginger haired lynx bowed as he helped his partner out of their (or rather, her) luxury car. The shorter iguana stepped out of the vehicle in a teal blue dress and hooked up arms with the man, "No need to be so formal, Avery. I doubt anyone'll notice we're here anyway, nor care.".
"Still, you are my date to my job and it's always a guy's job to be chivalrous!", the lynx straightened his suit with his one hand. Eureka chuckled as the two headed in together, being tailed by a punk looking robotic bat.
"Why do I have to go to this thing?", Techno whined before his 'mother' answered him. "Oh c'mon, live a little! You need to get put of the house and do something more than fighting! Besides, maybe you'll find a dance partner here? I heard Enzo's here, no doubt he brought Thea along.", the iguana said causing her son to flare up in anger.
"Thea's here?!", the robot growled, "Can this night any worse?".
Edmund and Fiona idle nearby the dance floor, their parents both having donated a little something and encouraging the two dorks to go to the dance as friends. Edmund tugged at his collar, finding it a little too tight as Fiona frowned at the shoes she had to wear.
(Meanwhile, Dria is dragging Srish to the centre of the floor, and Srish is tugging back.)
Doing as her father had asked, the young tuxedo cat looked around the room at the few other kids her age at the ball, "They kinda remind me of Techno... Those two girls seem just fine by themselves... Is that Techno?". Thea saw the bat and immediately narrowed her eyes, "He doesn't see me yet.. Good.".
Not wanting to deal with her 'rival', the cat noticed the two nerds standing near the dance floor and wander over, thinking of how to not awkwardly greet them on the way over.
Edmund and Fiona glance up at the stranger, and while Edmund was sure to give a kind wave, Fiona turned and essentially faced towards the nearest wall that she could find to avoid any social interaction.
Meanwhile outside, Annabelle's silver limo pulls up and she pops out in a custom made dress, waving and greeting the paparazzi with a smile while blowing kisses to them. Ugh, she forgot how exhausting this stuff was.
Dria: Srish, Get back here!
Srish: (Is running to avoid needing to dance.)
The cat would wave back to Edmund as she walked over. Swallowing what nervousness she had she would finally speak, mostly to the walrus as the mouse turned away from her, "Good evening! How are you two doing?". Thea would mentally curse herself, but outside of her robot teenage friends she didn't exactly know how to speak to anyone her age.
After donating to the fund, Eureka would grab her partners hand and drag the lynx onto the dancefloor. "Now I must inform you, Reka, I do have two left feet!", Avery said as he held the iguanas hands. The shorter Mobian would chuckle, "And in the lab you have two left hands! I don't care if you can dance or not, this night is for fun isn't it?". "True.", the ginger lynx nodded before the two would dance together.
(Dria notices the two)
Dria: Now why can't we be like them?
Srish: Invite someone else! I don't care! Just leave me out of this!
