Ai: *Sighs* I wish I could go to the May Festival, I heard they'll be dancing and parties.
Kurin: *Scratches the window from the outside*
Ai: *Sees Kurin and removes the window led* Kurin!
Kurin: *Jumps to Ai*
Ai: *Hugs Kurin* I'm so glad you're here.
*Knocks the door*
Ai: Yes? Who's there?
Patricia: It's me Emma! *Looks at Ai from the door bars*
Ai: *Gets down from bed and walks to the door* Patty!
Patricia: Shh..to be honest I shouldn't be here but..
Ai: But..?
Patricia: There's present for you.
Ai: For me?
Patricia: Yes. *Passes the huge box to Ai through the door bars*
Ai: Thanks Patty.
Patricia: Ok I have to go now! Bye! *Leaves the cell*
Ai: Bye!
*Music plays from the outside*
Kurin: *Walks to Ai and pets Ai's leg with it's head*
Ai: I wonder what's inside this box? *Sees a tiny envelope on the ribbon and reads the letter*
Dear Miss Emma.
I'm sorry for not being able to come to the May Festival because of work. I hope these costumes suit you perfectly. Have fun at the festival
From William Ai: I see so uncle William can't make it and Mr Albert was so excited about it too but after I told him that I've been banned to go, he came disappointed. *Unties the ribbon and opens the box*
Huh? There are 2 costumes, Romeo and Juliet. I guess uncle Wiliam must have forgotten my gender but...
*Demonic aura occurs Ai*
Kurin: *Becomes frightened and hides under blanket on the bed*
Ai: It've got a wonderful idea for this.
At the festival..
Annie: *Looks at the cell tower where Ai is sadly* "Poor Emma"
Archie: Brother, are there any inventions that you could help Emma to escape?
Alistear: I'm afraid not.
Annie: The festival won't be fun without Emma in.
Alistear: We all think so too.
Meanwhile on the roof of the school building..
Ai: *Running on the roof and about to climb down then spots Mrs Grey and her assistant teacher, Ms Margret walking at the corridor* "Oh dear it's Mrs Grey and Ms Margret"
Grey: I want this festival to perfect and also I don't ruckus to be caused during this May Festival.
Margret: Understand Mrs Grey.
*Walks away*
Ai: *Climbs down and knocks Mrs Grey*
Grey: *Falls down*
Ai: *Looks at Mrs Grey* Sorry..
Grey: I've never seen this boy before.
Ai: *Running away and hides behind the wall* "That was close, luckily Mrs Grey didn't spot me."
*Music plays from the assembly hall*
Ai: The music has started! I need to find Stear and the other first. *Rushes to the hall then knocks some*
*Both fell on the ground*
Patricia: That hurts..
Ai: *Sees Patty* Patty!
Patricia: *Sees Ai* Emma, how did you..
Ai: Shh..
Patricia: *Covers her mouth then speaks softly* How did you get this outfit?
Ai: It's from the box that you gave me. My uncle bought it for me.
Patricia: In a minute there I couldn't recognise you there.
*Both laugh and get up*
Ai: There's someone I want you to meet.
Patricia: Who?
Ai: He's a really good guy.
Patricia: Oh my gosh I'm really bad at interacting guys.
Ai: Don't worry I'll introduce you to him.
Patricia: *Blushes and nods*
Ai: *Picks up her mask and puts it back on*
Patricia: You look great in that costume. Who are you dressing as?
Ai: Romeo..
Patricia: I see.
Ai: Oh no we have to hurry or we'll won't make it for the dance. *Grabs Patty's arm and runs*
Patricia: But I can't dance..
Ai: *Smiles* Everything is going to be ok Patty, trust me.
Patricia: *Smiles and runs along with Ai into the hall*
*Ai and Patty stops then sees Annie at the side*
Patricia: It's Annie.
Ai: Let's go to her.
*Both walks to Annie*
Patricia: Annie!
Annie: Patty!
Ai: Greetings.
Annie: Who is this?
Ai: *Lifts up her mask* Hi!
Annie: *Suprised* Emm..
Ai: *Covers Annie's mouth*

Annie: Emma, how did you get this costume?
Ai: Uncle William bought this for me. Thanks to Patty, I've wouldn't be here.
Annie: I see
Ai: I'll look for Stear after this dance.
Annie: Ok!
Ai: Come on in Patty!
Patricia: Ok!
*Ai dances with Annie and Patty*
Annie: This is fun!
Archie: *Sees Annie dancing with a boy and Patty* "Wow who is that boy? He looks quite handsome." *Approaches to them* Hey can we switch?
Ai: Hey Archie, here you go. *Drags Patty and walks away*
Archie: Who is that guy?
Annie: *Giggles* You'll find out soon.
*Ai and Patty walking*
Patricia: Who is that guy?
Ai: That's Archie, he's been my friend since childhood.
Patricia: Wow that's really nice!
Ai: That goes the same to the person whom I want you to meet too.
*Ai sees Stear having a juice punch*
*Ai walks to him*
Patricia: Wait up!
Ai: Stear..
Alistear: *Looks at Ai* Do I know you?
Ai: *Smiles and lifts up her mask*
Alistear: *Suprised* Emma..
Ai: Keep it down Stear.
Alistear: Sorry Emma!
Patricia: *Looks at Stear* "So that's him, he looks handsome and he's wearing glasses too."
Ai: Ah yes there's someone I want you to meet.
Elise: *Interupts the conversation* Stear!
Alistear: *Sighs* What's up Elly?
Elise: Don't call me that!
Alistear: Haha my bad.
Elise: My friend Marry wants to dance with you.
Marry: *Blushes* Hello!
Alistear: Um..
Elise: Go!
Marry: Let's go Stear!
Ai: *Sighs* I guess I'll introduce you to him later.
*Music starts*
*Everyone dances*
Ai: *Looks at Patty* "Oh Patty's dancing with Stear.*
Patricia: *Blushing* "Oh my god I'm finally dancing with Stear."
Alistear: Um..you're the one who's always with Emma right?
Patricia: Yes I am. We're classmates and also neighbours.
Alistear: I see *Smiles*
Patricia: *Trips on someone's leg and accidentally pushes Stear*
*Both of them drops their glasses*!
Alistear: Where's my glasses!
Patricia: Same goes to mine.
Alistear: You've wear one too?
*Both of them looks at each other*
Alistear: You look beautiful without your glasses.
Patricia: You look handsome without them too.
*Both about to dance and knocks someone*
Couple 1: Hey watch it!
Couple 2: That's right you're going to bother the others.
*Both of them runs away*
Ai: *Looks at them and giggles* "I guess I don't have to introduce Stear to Patty anymore."
Then Terence steps into the dance hall
Terrence: "Where is that girl? I've got a feeling that she has escaped again."
Elise: Terry..
Terence: *Whisles while looking at Elise*
Elise: Shall we dance Terry.
Terrence: It would be a disgrace for your if you dance with the school's troublemaker, lady. See you! *Walks away*
Elise: *Becomes frustrated then blushes* Ugh he's got some nerve to turned me down like but he did called me a lady.
After the dance..
Ai: "It's time to changed my costume again" *About to leave*
Elise: You there!
Ai: What is it lady?
Elise: Would you like to have some fruit punch with me?
Ai: Thank you for the offer but I've got something urgent. Please find somebody else. *Walks away*
Elise: Ugh this boy's is also like Terry but where is he going?
*Ai running into the woods and stops*
Elise: What is he doing at the place like this? *Hiding behind the trees*
Ai: This plan is a huge success.
Elise: *Suprised after that snaps a picture of Ai* Emma! Hmph not to worry tell Mrs Grey about it. *Runs away*
Ai: *Puts on her Juliet costume and puts on her sandals* Wow this dress fits perfectly! *Then puts on her wig and takes a selfie* Well that settles it time to head back to the dance hall to meet Stear and the others, let's go!
Terence: *Laughing while relaxing on the tree*
Ai: Terry!? Were you looking when I was changing? *Blushes*
Terence: You were at my sight but I didn't look at you.
Ai: Terry you idiot! *Faces to the back*
Terrence: And by the way Elise has found out the secret of Romeo.
Ai: What?!
Terence: She even took a picture of you too.
Ai: No way! But it's ok.. I can handle this.
Terence: Let's go the other Pony hill.
*Terry grabs Ai's hand and runs*
Terence: *Let's go and lays down on the grass* It's windy today.
Ai: *Sits next to Terry* The weather's great too.
Terence: Hey you looked really thin.
Ai: You think so? I haven't been eating much since I was in that cell but I'm doing well.
Terence: Ai..After all the hardships, you're still smiling.
Ai: Yes..I'm used to it. Elise and Neil been picking on me since I was 12.
Terence: I see so these guys haven't changed since childhood.
Ai: *Sighs* This is the spot where it relaxes my mine and I could even practise my violin without being disturbed.
Terence: I see..I'm starting to getting a hang with the harmonica you gave me in exchange for the cigarettes. *Plays the harmonica*
Ai: *Smiles and takes a candid picture of Terry with her handphone*
Terence: Hey! Why did you take that?
Ai: It's called remembrance.
Terence: Right.. *Takes Ai's picture with his handphone*
Ai: Hey!
Terence: You're right.
*Both laughs*
Terence: This time I'll take a beautiful picture of you in that dress and also take off that wig.
Ai: *Blushes* Terry..
Terence: *Focuses Ai on the camera* Just stand under the tree and smile!
*Wind blows*
Ai: *Smiles while her hair's been blown by the wind*
Terence: *Blushes and snaps her picture*
Ai: So how did it go?
Terence: *Shows it Ai*
Ai: Wow I look great.
Terence: *Switch off his handphone*
Ai: I really want that picture. It's going to be my next profile picture on Facebook.
Terence: No..
Ai: Hmph.. *Turns back on Terry*
*Music plays from the dance hall*
Ai: This music.. "It's the music, that's been played 1 year ago when I was dancing with Anthony."
Terence: *Grabs Ai's hand* May I have this dance, my lady?
Ai: Yes..
*Both starts dancing*
Ai: This music brings me lot of memories while I was in America.
Terence: It gives me nightmares.
Ai: Why?
Terence: I don't know but somehow I can feel it but when you're around, I feel so calm.
Ai: *Smiles* I see good for you then and you..
Terence: What?
Ai: You reminded me of him. The warmth from your hand, kindness and ocean blue eyes. But you're slightly taller.
Terence: *Stops* You're talking about Anthony again?!
Ai: Terry..
Terence: I told you that I hate people talking about the dead. *Pushes Ai and runs away*
Ai: Terry *Sheds a tear and wipes it off*
*Ai ties her hair then puts on the the braided wig. Lastly she puns on the mask*
*Phone vibrates*
*Ai looks the text from Annie*
"We'll be waiting for you outside of the dance hall"
At the dance hall as Annie and the others waiting for Ai..
Archie: What's taking Emma so long?
Annie: She did told me that she'll be changing her costume again.
Alistear: Well let's be patient for now. She'll be here soon.
Ai: *Sees Annie and the others then walks to them*
Annie: *Sees Ai walking towards her but she couldn't recognise her*
Ai: *Stops in front of Annie and looks at her*
Annie: Who are you?
Patricia: *Walks to Ai and tickles her waist*
Ai: *Starts laughing* Stop it Patty! Hahaha!
Annie: That voice?!
Archie: It's Emma!
Patricia: *Stops tickling*
Annie: What took you so long? We were worried about you.
Ai: I'm sorry I've got some urgent things to do that's why I..
Alistear: Let's forget it and enjoy the festival. Now that Emma's here, our group members are all other.
Ai: That includes you Patty.
Patricia: Me?
Ai: That's right Patty!
Alistear: Welcome to the group Patty!
Patricia: Please treat me well everyone.
Archie: Let's go already, I'm starving.
Ai: Ok Archie.
*Everyone walks away*
Elise: *Standing by the stair in front of the dance hall*
Marry: Who are you waiting for?
Elise: I'm waiting for Emma!
Marry: Emma? I thought she's in the cell.
Elise: I saw her! She was at the dance earlier.
Marry: That can't be, you must have mistaken Emma to somebody else.
Elise: You don't believe me? Here's the proof! *Shows the picture to Marry*
Marry: You're right Elise.
Elise: She'll definitely be back to meet up with Stear and the others.
Marry: That's right when she's about to step in. We'll just get her and take her to Mrs Grey. She'll be expelled for sure.
Elise: Good idea Marry! You're the bestest friend I've ever had.
*Elise and Marry continues waiting for Ai*
And so Ai and her friends are having lunch at the bench under the shady tree..
Alistear: Do you know something during the dance.
Patricia: Don't talk about it Stear! It's embarrassing. *Blushes and hits his back*
Alistear: But..
Archie: We know brother that both of you were knocking the other dancers during the dance.
Ai: That's right, I wanted introduce Patty to Stear. Well I guess I don't have to then.
*Everyone laughs*
Annie: *Sees Mrs Grey from far* It's Mrs Grey!
Archie: Hide Emma!
Ai: *Sees Mrs Grey* It's ok I don't have to. I'm already in a disguise anyways.
Patricia: But..
Ai: You guys are worrying too much. *Continues drinking*
Alistear: She's coming!
Ai: *Keeps drinking*
*Mrs Grey passes by Ai and her group*
Annie: *Sighs in relief* That was close.
Ai: *Hears Elise's voice and looks at her from the other side*
Annie: What's wrong Emma?
Ai: It's Elise and Marry.
Elise: Mrs Grey!
Grey: Elise, what brings you here?
Elise: Um..Marry and I would like to pay Emma a visit.
Marry: I've brought some fruits for her too just in case she's craving for food in there.
Ai: *Giggles softly*
*Everyone looks at Elise from far*
Grey: Very well but don't stay too long or you'll be interrupting her punishment.
Elise and Marry: Thank you Mrs Grey.
Grey: Here's the keys, give them back after your visit.
Elise: Yes ma'am we'll definitely return them to you. *Gives a sly smile*
*Both of them walks away*
Archie: Emma!
Ai: Right, I'll go right away! *Runs away*
Annie: We'll hold them back for you, Emma. *Runs away*
Ai: Thanks!
Annie: Let's hurry Patty!
Emma: *Takes off her mask while running on the roof*
Meanwhile as Elise and Marry drawing closer to the tower...
Annie: Elise!
*Both of them stops*
Elise: What do you want?
Patricia: Can you take us with you?
Annie: I'll carry that fruits basket for you.
Patricia: Yeah!
Annie: Let us ask the teacher's permission first.
Elise: I know what are you girls planning... You're planning to hold us back right?
Annie: Of course not!
Marry: So that you could let Emma to come back on time right?
Elise: Forget it Marry! Let's go! *Walks away*
Marry: *Walks with Elise*
Annie: Wait Elise!
Elise: Shut up Annie!
Patricia: Let us ask the teacher's permission.
On the roof..
Emma: *Running then accidentally falls* "I need to hurry. I don't think Annie and Patty can hold them off much longer."
*Get's up and starts running*
*Emma reaches the window as she's about to go in then she sees Elise unlocking the door and steps in*
Elise: Emma!
Annie: "Oh god" *Prys*
Emma: *Hides* "Oh my god I didn't make it on time. What should I do? Oh god please save me."
Elise: Emma I know you're not in. *Sees something on the bed and tries to flip it*
Patricia: Emma's asleep.
Annie: That's right she doesn't like people around when she's asleep.
Marry: Who cares, just lift up the blanket already Elise!
Elise: Alright! *About to flip the blanket*
*Something moves on it's own under the blanket*
*Everyone sees human hands covering the blanket*
Elise: What!
Annie: See? She is here.
Marry: Elise I think you're really seeing things maybe you might be imagining Emma back there.
Elise: Urgh..Emma I know you've escaped, I'll remember this. *Dumps the basket of fruits on the floor and leaves with Marry*
*Annie and Patty closes the door and giggles*
Ai: *Opens the window lid* That was close one.
Annie: Eh?!
Patricia: If you here then who's in that bed.
*Mysterious guy giggles and grabs the apple from floor*
*Uncovers the blanket and laughs loudly*
Emma: *Smiles*
Annie and Patricia: Terence!
Terence: *Looks at Emma* You would have got into trouble if it wasn't for me, freckle tarzan.
Ai: *Sighs then blushes* Yes and thanks by the way.
Terence: *Eats an apple*
Annie and Patty: *Smiles*
That night at the bond fire as Emma steps down from the stairs and sees the crowd in there costumes.
*Everyone looks at Emma*
Elise: *Steps out and laughs* Oh I've found our sneaky little fox. The person who should be in the cell, what on earth is she doing here?
*Crowd gossiping*
Archie: Stop it Elise!
Grey: Because I let her to.
Elise: *Sees Mrs Grey and steps back*
Grey: Emma Ain't Ardley is allowed to take part any activities during the May Festival.
Ai: *Smiles* Thank you very much!
*Everyone claps*
Grey: Let the night festival begin!
*Crowds cheers and leave*
Ai: *Walks to Annie and the gang*
Annie: I'm glad that you can join us!
Alistear: Yeah you're right!
Ai: I'll go get myself changed first.
Alistear: You better hurry or you'll be missed out!
Ai: Okay! *Runs to her room*
Annie: Patty and I will go to her. *Runs after Emma*
Patricia: *Runs with Annie*
Ai: *Steps into her room and changes into a blue dress*
Annie: *Steps into the room and becomes suprised after looking at Emma*
Annie: Emma.. *Blushes*
Ai: Annie..
Annie: Um..nothing, you look great in that dress.
Patricia: *Opens the door* Emma, are you done yet? Stear and Archie are waiting if we don't hurry. They'll.. *Slowly looks at Emma*
Ai: Yeah we should get going! *Leaves the room, leaving Annie and Patty behind*
Annie: Patty..
Patricia: Yes Annie..
Annie: Did you see that?
Patricia: Yes..Emma
Annie: She looks really pretty in that dress and she doesn't wear a wig too.
Patricia: *Nods* We should go too!
Annie: *Locks the door and leaves*
As Emma running at the corridor by the garden*
Terence: Hey freckle tarzan!
Ai: *Stops and looks at Terence who's at the back of Emma* Terry!
Terence: *Walks to Ai*
Ai: What brings you here?
Terence: *Looks at Ai and whistles*
Ai: What's up with you?
Terence: I've never seen a girl who's this beautiful tonight. *Steps even closer to Ai*
Ai: *Steps away from Terence* Get away from me, you pervert!
Terence: *Bends down then kisses Ai's left hand* Look ravishing tonight, my sweet lady or should I say Ai.
Ai: *Suprised* "Terry"
Terence: *Stand up and grabs Emma's hand then drags her away*
Annie and Patricia: *Blushes as they see, Ai walking away with Terence from distance*
Annie: Let's go Patty!
Patricia: But..
Annie: It's ok Patty. Emma has finally found her prince.
Patricia: Yeah you're right, she looks a princess tonight.
"Well she's Cinderella just like the story of Cinderella, who was a maid then as she goes to the ball. She meets her Prince Charming and they dance under the beautiful moon as the moonlight shines towards them while they are dancing"
Annie: Emma and I used to read that a lot. *Walks away*
*Flashes back when they were kids at the age of 6*
Ai: Annie!
Annie: What?
Ai: Who's your favourite character in Cinderella?
Annie: Of course it's Cinderella.
Ai: Oh I like the fairy godmother.
Annie: Why? You should be Cinderella because you'll definitely look pretty in that gown from the storybook here. *Shows off the storybook*
Ai: No..I like the fairy godmother because I can help Cinderella who's in trouble of going to the ball. I also believe that there're people who also in trouble. That's why I want to save them! *Smiles brightly*
*Back to the present*
Patricia: What a wonderful story, the funny thing is that Emma didn't want to be Cinderella in the end. She became one.
Annie: You're right and that kind of me jealous too.
*Both of them laughs*
Meanwhile between Ai and Terence walking around the school..
Ai: *Sneezes*
Terence: Are you catching a cold?
Ai: Well...
Terence: *Places his coat on Ai's shoulders* It's getting chilly here, you better not catch a cold freckle Tarzan.
Ai: Ow Terry! Thank you!
Terence: *Looks at the sky* The moon looks beautiful.
Ai: *Looks at sky* You're right!
*Both becomes silent and blushes*
Ai: Why did you save me just now? I thought you were angry with me after talking about Anthony.
Terence: Because I wanted to. Like I said I hate to see people being bullied.
Ai: I see *Blushes*
*Ball music plays*
Ai: What? The dance has started! Annie and the others are waiting. Let's go! *Tries to walk away*
Terence: *Grabs Ai's hand*
Ai: What's wrong?
Terence: *Pulls Ai and embraces her from the back* Let's just dance here, it's noisy over there.
Ai: Well of course, it's noisy cause it's a festival after all. *Blushes and her hearbeat beats fast* "Let go of me pervert..Why is my heart pounding so fast. I hate him, that creep is making fun of me and he even talks bad about Anthony but he's nice at times"
Terence: *Laughs*
Ai: What's so funny idiot?
Terence: *Starts dancing with Ai* Cinderella dancess with the prince under the moonlight at the palace's garden then..
Ai: Then what? What happened next?
Terry?
Terence: *Let's go of Ai* The clock strikes 12, Cinderella flee from the palace and left a glass slipper behind as a clue.
Ai: And the spell is broken and everything is back to normal right?
Terence: That's right my cute Cinderella. The festival's going to be over soon and tomorrow.
Ai: Everything will be back to the way it was before. At least Cinderella get to go to the ball, well that's enough for her and for me too. I won't be able to wear this beautiful dress again.
Terence: Even if you're not wearing that dress, you're still beautiful in the inside. *Winks*
Ai: I'm not cute at all. I'm rough, violent and I do is hooking up with my violin all day.
Terence: That's what made my school life interesting.
Ai: Huh?! What am I? A servant?
Terence: *Walks away* You're just a cute violinist tarzan, that's all.
Ai: Why you?! *Frustrated*
Terence: Good night lady Tarzan. *Waves and walks away into the darkness.
Ai: "Terry..you idiot. You really are a creep. I hate you!" *Blushes*
THE END
