You and the other girls sit in the fancy spa chairs, chatting amongst yourselves. You were all having a spa day in preparation for the gala and were currently in the mani-pedi phase.

"So, mina." You turn to the pink girl in the chair next to you. "I have to ask you a couple of questions."

"Fire away!" She grins.

"Just out of curiosity, do you know of Gwen and Shoto ever having a connection to someone named Charlotte?"

She thinks for a moment. "Not that I can recall. Why do you ask?"

"I had a weird dream last night, and in it Gwen was crying over the death of someone named Charlotte."

"Yeah, it doesn't ring a bell, sorry."

You shrug. "I'll have to ask her about it later." 

Mina nods. "Although you probably won't see her until the gala, since she's going on her own."

"Eh, I can live with that."

"C'mon, the guys are here!" Mina grins. "Aren't you excited?"

You nod and Hagakure giggles. You'd all had your hair and makeup done professionally, and you all looked like supermodels. You're hurrying down the hallway, heading to the salon's entrance, which had a large ornate staircase and chandelier, looking like something out of a childhood fairytale.

You round the corner and slow down, eventually coming up on the top of the stairs. At the bottom you can see the guys, all facing away from you, and Mina clears her throat. They turn around, and the moment Shoto lays eyes on you he blushes.

You gracefully make your way down the stairs, smiling as his widened eyes take in your full figure. 

"Wow..." he whispers, taking your hand once you reach the bottom steps. "You look- wow-"

You blush. "T-thanks..."

"I totally ship them-" Mina whispers, not intending for you to hear. You giggle, linking your arm with Shoto's.

"Shall we?" He smiles, and you nod. 

You all file into different limos, one for each pair. The drivers open the doors for you to climb in, and you're surprised at how anxious you feel about the paparazzi.

"Are you nervous?" Shoto asks once the limo begins moving.

You shake your head. "A little, but not much... I just don't know much about how to act around paparazzi... or rich people."

"They're just people, no different from you and me." He says, giving you a reassuring smile. "And as far as paparazzi goes, just smile and follow my lead."

You nod. "Okay... how much paparazzi usually shows up?"

"About the same as at the met Galla."

"That's quite a bit-" you laugh nervously.

"Hey," he gently takes your hand, "Don't worry, I'll be right there with you."

You blush. "I-I'm sure that'll probably help..."

"You won't mind getting your picture taken, will you?"

You shake your head. "No."

"Alright, you should be fine then."
