There was not a section of the warehouse was left without decoration and there was still enough room in the middle to act as a dance floor. Of course, when Estelle came in, some of her mother's servants were still finishing up, but she couldn't wait to see how everything looked. "How is it, Estelle?" Turning around, Estelle caught sight of an all too familiar woman. "It's gorgeous, Mother! I love it!" Estelle stated with almost more enthusiasm than anticipated by her mother. However, as a thought came to mind, the young noble's cheerful face vanished. "What about Father?" Her mother glanced away with disappointed eyes. That alone gave Estelle her answer. "Right... I had a feeling. "You know he only leaves the West when dealing with political affairs," her mother stated. "Although I hoped for the same thing. Still, why did you want to have your party here? More people know you back home." Estelle shook her head, slightly amused. "Mother, this is my 21st birthday. I want to meet new people. Make new friends. This is the perfect opportunity to do just that." "Perhaps so, but this isn't the kind of place one would find the nobility." "Mother..." The seriousness of Estelle's voice caught her mother's full attention. Estelle's eyes were serious, irritated even. In a way, if it wasn't her own daughter, she may have been intimidated. "Very well. I'll leave you to your party. I was told your... sound system was ready outside." With a wave of her hand, her servants got the message and started to head outside. "I hope everything goes well, dear." "I'm sure it will." With those reassuring words, Estelle's mother left her daughter be for now. Estelle, however, was just getting started. With an excited smile, she jumped up on stage where dozens of instruments were placed and dashed straight for the piano. With a few plugins and adjustments, she started to play. 'Now, let's see who will be willing to join in the fun.' [/scrolly]

Happy Birthday Estelle!
Everyone welcome!

The sudden explosive destruction of equilibrium that threatened Forest Castle was like nothing imaginable. One minute Haiiro Navi had found himself in a face to face debate with Feliciano Rossi and the next he found himself falling into the snow face first. The 'umph' sound that escaped from him was barley audible, and his entire body lay there placid for a few seconds as his brain spun around the idea of what the hell had just happened. He couldn't fathom it to be honest, but he was trying his hardest not to simply rage. His arm ached and complained about being under him, and after a few seconds, he slowly pulled himself up. "Somebody better have a good explanation for this or I swear..." Haiiro growled darkly unable to say anything further as his arm suddenly screamed at him causing him to flinch in pain again.

Meanwhile, another light shimmered shortly behind him and a rather tall aging man appeared behind him with his arms crossed and his face distorted by a frown. "What is the meaning of this?" Papa Lance asked looking around and not finding an immediate answer to his question. "Where are we..." he asked aloud. Haiiro stared at him wondering if he was supposed to answer, yet after a moment, he shook his head and said nothing more.

What happened next left Elayne disoriented and confused, one moment she was hugging Lucas her Arcatales and the next moment she was falling backwards in the snow. Snow...the last time she had been up north was when-...Elayne bit her lip to keep the memories from resurfacing and slowly stood albeit shakily. Feeling a soft, warm muzzle on her face, Elayne looked up to see that Lucas had been teleported with her and laughed softly before patting the large hybrid. Looking around, Elayne saw that both Haii and Uncle Lance were here too and blinked in confusion. "Uncle....Haii..."Elayne said quietly, surprised to find that they were here too,"What's going on....? How did we get here...?" No sooner had Elayne asked this when she heard Uncle Lance's own question and looked around her...it seemed vaguely familiar,"I've only been up north a few times but.... I think this may be Sonata City...I'm not quite sure though,"Elayne replied, rubbing her arms as she realized how cold she was. She hadn't been planning a trip to the north and had been enjoying the warm spring day and thus had opted to wear jeans and a short-sleeved shirt that did precious little to keep out the cold. On top of this she had decided (rather foolishly now that she thought about it) to go barefoot...well, at least she had Lucas to help keep her warm.[/scrolly]

She had just gotten some crutches and was trying to get used to them. She was one step closer to looking the blasted wheelchair. As she sat down wheelchair, crutches in hand. The next thing she knew she was in a cold place with snow. All Cora was wearing was a tag top, shorts and shoes. The cold cut right through her, Cora eyes grew wide as she dropped her crutches and hugged her self shivering badly. How in the world!!! How did she get from a nice warm place to somewhere cold like this??? Was someone trying to kill her or something!! " W-who e-ev-ever d-did t-this w-w-will p-p-pay!!!" Cora stuttered through chattering teeth. Cora then reach for her pokeballs and called out her Charizard. He looked around and his eyes grew wide. What the?? How?? "Charizard!! H-hold m-me!" Cora said. " Cora!! What happned???" the fire dragon cried out in alarm, as he went over to Cora and carefully picked up his trainer and held her as close as he could to his warm body. Cora shivered and snuggled into her friend as much as she could. " I.. I don't know... I was in the castle and the next thing I knew I was here.." Cora said and then she started to look around. She had never been to this place before but she knew she was somewhere in the north. it seemed that Cora had not landed with the others. she was somewhere else in Sonata city. " I... I don't see anyone... Was I the only one teleported here??? Cora asked but knew no one could answer that. [/scrolly]

"My apologies," a voice called causing Haiiro to look over accusingly at a red haired man that was making his way over to the small group. "But someone is having a birthday, and I wanted you all to meet her." Haiiro growl and frowned at the man.

"Well you could have asked first, damn it," he snapped viciously back.

Papa Lance looked upwards and found himself staring at Nathan as he spoke. However, when Haiiro barked, his eyes shot sideways. "Bite your tongue," he stated flatly at Haiiro causing the dark haired man to flinch and leer sideways at him. Ignoring Haiiro for now, Papa Lance stared at Nathan. "Nathan Atra, you should know better than to work on your childish whims," he stated flatly crossing his arms in front of himself.

Nathan flashed a cool smile briefly at everyone. "Ah forgive me," he said bowing once. "I would have alerted you all to it in advance if I had known..." he stopped briefly and drew up a hand to set it on his forehead. "But I have been dreadfully busy with work, and I'd just happened to realize it... but yes Miss Estelle Nolarain has decided to have her birthday up north rather than at home, and she is one of our western nobles...such chaos in that area still, I swear. I wish someone would stabilize it already and make a high Duke or Duchess family again...but anyways.. I find it---"

"Nathan you are making this politics," Papa Lance grumbled raising a hand and rubbing his temple slowly. Nathan flashed a smile and brought a fan over his face as though having been caught in the act of something. "Did you bring others or was it simply us three?" the former Duke asked dryly.

"A choice few... my poor dearest Amina has quite a hard time traveling over long distances especially with many people..." he explained.

"Then where is the Duke?" Papa Lance asked.

"Ah yes... he's somewhere around here... I'll find him myself shortly... but please, if you would... her party area is just up that hill~" Nathan smiled. Haiiro growled shaking his head clearly irritated at the entire thing. Looking sideways at him, Nathan smirked. "Oh? You're wondering why you were brought along? Well honestly it was because you're so very close to Elayne Laurent that I just figured..."

Boot to the head. Haiiro didn't even know how he had managed it, but he'd quickly pulled off his boot and chucked it at Nathan. Th redhead moved out of the way and sighed. "You lack tact..." was all that was said. Haiiro simply growled.

"Haiiro," Papa Lance stated flatly causing Haii to jump again flinching at being scolded.

Willing her now rapidly beating heart to calm, Elayne listened as Uncle Lance spoke to Nathan, not moving from her spot next to Lucas. When Nathan explained why Haiiro was brought along as well Elayne could feel heat rise to her cheeks. No sooner had Elayne managed to recover however when Lucas suddenly ran after the boot that had been thrown and retrieved it before bringing it back to Haii and sitting down with an almost pleading expression on his face. Without the comfort and warmth of the Arcatales (along with the support he was providing), Elayne fell once again with a soft umph and winced....that had hurt.... Slowly standing up again, Elayne walked over to where Lucas was (all the while grumbling over the decision not to wear shoes that day) and put a hand on the fire hybrid. "No Lucas...,"Elayne whispered before once again leaning against the warmth of his fur, shivering all the while. "We...should go inside then..."Elayne suggested, looking over at Uncle Lance as she did so,"...it'd be rude not to wish her a happy birthday... Heh...that's right...my birthday was yesterday...wasn't it..."she continued, growing quieter as she continued. Elayne had been so busy around the castle helping others that she had forgotten...ironic that they should show up in the north for a birthday party...[/scrolly]

She had to get into a building and fast. She looked around and saw a cafe, Ah that would work. She could even get some hot coco! "Charizard, put be back in my chair and wheel me to that Cafe. Then I want you to fly around to see if anyone else we know is here." Cora said. Charizard nodded and gently set his trainer down in her wheelchair and then pushed her to the Cafe and opened the door for her. Cora went inside and looked back at Charizard with a weak smile. " Thanks pal now go." Cora said as her body shivered. Charizard gave a worried look but nodded, he closed the door opened his wings and took flight into the sky. Cora mean while used what little money on her to by some hot coco to help warm herself up. Charizard flew around above the city and frowned a little as a few people screamed in shock when they saw him. It made him sad others feared him when he meant no harm at all. After a little while he then started to fly in the detraction where Elayne and the others where. [/scrolly]
