------Time skip to morning-----

Jerome woke up to the smell of raw fish. "Mitch? Is that you?" He muttered as he got up to see no one inside the kitchen. "Biggums?" Jerome called once more. He looked inside the living room to see Mitch sleeping. "Awww..." Jerome smiled. He gently shook the brunet as he saw him slowly open his eyes. "Hmmmm.....J-jerome...." Mitch whispered. "Hey biggums," Jerome said as he softly kissed Mitch's forehead. Jerome looked down to see a handmade suit. "Mitch? How long did you work on this?" Mitch looked at the clock. "All night." He yawned. Jerome sat next to him. "Well... do you want to visit DerpSolace for a while? To make sure Derp is willing to go?" Jerome asked. Mitch shook his head. "I can't bare to see him without thinking that he might die." Jerome gave a small nod. "I understand, don't worry." Jerome said. Mitch got up as he walked to his computer. "Do you want to record something with me?" He asked. Jerome's eyes lit up as he sat next to Mitch. "Hey what's going on dudes? It's Mitch or BajanCanadian...."

Derp stared at the ceiling as pain coursed through his body. "B-br....c....e" He rasped in a weak tone. Brice ran to him. "I'm here, don't worry." Brice whispered. Derp coughed as he reached for the glass of water. "Let me help..." Brice said. Derp shot him a look. "Let me do this, I don't want you to get worse." Brice said as he grabbed the cup if water and helped bring the water close to Derp's lips. "Shhhh....it's going to be okay Derp....it's going to be okay...." Brice whispered. Derp looked up as he saw bright lights. "Hmm....." He said. "Derp, stay awake please." Brice said. "I....feel.....like......crap....." Derp said. Brice felt his temperature. "You're burning up..... we can't go to the ball, not in your condition..." Brice said. "No!" Derp shouted. Brice looked down. "You know, you're being really whiny. I am only saying that so you won't feel worse. I am thinking about your health. You can die because of that!" Brice said.

"Ngh!" Derp gasped. Brice looked down. "I'm sorry, but it's for the good of you're health." Brice muttered. "......o...k..." Derp whispered. "I'll call Ian." Brice said.

Adam grabbed the shirt as he began to iron it. "Jason, do you want me to iron yours?" Adam called. "Yeah sure! Thanks!" Jason answered. Adam looked at a small tear on the bottom left hand side. "Dangit." He muttered. He knew that there would be no time to buy a new one, no store would be open at this time in the morning. "Is there something wrong Adam?" Jason asked. "Just that my shirt has a small tear." Adam said. "What do you want to do?" Jason asked. "It's just a tear." Adam said as he placed the shirt on the bed. "Still...." Jason said. "Don't you think that someone will make fun of you?" Adam shrugged. "I do what I want." He said with a smile. Jason chuckled as he began to polish two pairs of shoes. "Do you think there will be food?" Adam asked. Jason rolled his eyes. "All you think about is food!" Jason said. "I need to know okay?" Adam said. "I'm pretty sure Adam." Jason said. "I wonder what genre of music are they going to put?" Jason wondered. "Ballroom music? I don't know to be honest." Adam responded. "Will there be a slow dance?" Jason said. "Hope..." Adam said. "Yeah...." Jason whispered.

Ty assembled the shoe back together while he heard Tyler watching TV. "Tyler! Help me!" Ty yelled. "We have plenty of time. It's 5:00 in the morning!" Tyler yelled back. "We need to do this okay? Then we can relax." Ty responded. Tyler sighed. "Fine." He said. He grabbed the a pair of shoes and wiped it with a piece of cloth. "Do you think Daku will be there?" Ty asked. "Maybe.....He seems familiar from someplace...." Tyler said. "What do you mean?" Ty asked. "Like....I knew him beforehand." Tyler responded. "If that were the case, he would have recognized you." Ty said. "Maybe he didn't notice me?" Tyler said. "I doubt it." Ty said. "He looked at all of us remember?" Tyler gave a small nod. "I guess but...." Ty then remembered something. "Apparently, he has a son but no wife as far as everyone knows." Ty said. "You're not saying what I think you're saying. My mom raised me on her own sure but she did tell me stories about my dad." Ty looked down. "I never said that but....maybe it's safe to think that his son is alive."

Tyler grabbed the other shoe as he wiped it as well. "I actually don't know who my father is....wait....I am NOT Daku's son if that's what you're implying." Tyler said, his voice raising. "No! Like I said.....it wouldn't make sense. Besides, he's a sorcerer. Your mom wasn't right?" Ty said. "Of course my mom wasn't a sorcerer. If she was, then she would have told me." Tyler said. "Maybe she lied?" Ty said. Tyler shook his head as he go up. "I'm going to take a nap." He rasped. "Uh....Okay..." Ty said only to have Tyler ignore him. "Still....genetics wise....." Ty whispered as he grabbed the phone to call Jason.

Ian sat on the bed, hands on his head. "I knew it." He whispered. "I fucking knew it." He said. Ian was the type of person who wouldn't swear unless he thought that it would be a good idea, he kept swearing for his fans, for Seto, and for his family. "Ian?" Seto said. "Derp and Brice aren't going to go to the ball.....for health reasons." Ian looked at Seto. "Well....it happens.....Not everyone can do something fun. Let's be grateful that Brice cares about Derp's health." Seto said. "Yeah...I know." Ian said. "Derp would want me, us to go. Right?" Ian asked. "Yep, he would want that. You can vlog the ball if you want, for Derp and your fans." Seto said. "What about...you know.....you and I?" Ian said in an uncomfortable tone. "It doesn't matter." Seto said as he grabbed two suits: one for Seto and the other for Ian. "That's yours? It's beautiful." Ian said. "Thank you..." Seto said. "Now help me get this ready." Seto smiled. "We need to get ready for the ball tonight."

Daku slowly brought the drink to his lips as he thought for a moment. "The diamond......how can I get close to it? I could use violence but.....I don't want to endanger anyone but.....I could control the members of the ball to hand it over and if those humans,sorcerer, and musuko go to the ball, they won't hurt anyone as well." Daku said. "Yes...a good idea indeed." He grabbed the light blue diamond and sprinkling a magic powder. "Show me my musuko." Daku said. "Show me Taira."

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

I recommend that you don't search up Musuko or Taira just yet, unless you want spoilers. I translated two words to Japanese.
