Chapter 41 - File AD : “Advent Decorum”

It continues on , Dreamworld Mari happily waving at the sproutmole Castella that she help manage the bedchambers that instead of moving out the space ex-boyfriend statue it's been safely moved at the corner of the curtains of her bedroom besides fixing up to maintain its

Dazzling look , then suddenly the rest of the other dreamworld friends and Omori came along knocking the bedroom door when Dreamworld Hero call out if Mari not yet done with her task.

Dreamworld Mari turns to the door with a bright smile, calling back to Dreamworld Hero, "Just finishing up, almost there!" She gestures for the group to come in, revealing the newly arranged and maintained bedroom.

As they enter, Dreamworld Hero admires the improvements, nodding in approval. "Looks fantastic, Mari! You really have an eye for detail."

Dreamworld Kel, always curious, walks around the room, inspecting everything with a playful grin. "Wow, Mari! This looks like something out of a fancy hotel!"

Dreamworld Aubrey chuckles softly, appreciating the cozy ambiance. "It's so cozy in here, Mari. You've really made it feel like home."

Meanwhile, Dreamworld Basil nods in agreement, noticing the attention to organization and aesthetics. "Great job, Mari. Everything looks neat and inviting."

Omori, as usual, observes quietly but nods in appreciation, his expression reflecting contentment with the transformation of the room.

Dreamworld Mari beams with pride at their compliments, feeling happy to have contributed to creating a comfortable space for their dreamworld adventures.

Then , Dreamworld Aubrey got sadden worry look noticing changes that instead of one sweetheart statue it has a pair for each side as she mutters "Hey Mari did Sweetheart throw any items away relating to her 'time' with Capt. Spaceboy?"

Dreamworld Mari furrows her brow in thought, scanning the room before responding, "Hmm, not that I know of. Everything seems to be here, just rearranged a bit."

Dreamworld Kel chimes in, "Maybe they just added more decor to spice things up! Like a new theme or something."

Dreamworld Hero nods, trying to lighten the mood. "Yeah, could be a surprise makeover for Sweetheart's show or just a change in style."

Dreamworld Basil, ever the observant one, examines the statues closely. "Perhaps it's symbolic, representing different stages of their relationship or Sweetheart's feelings."

Omori stays silent, but his eyes flicker with curiosity as he takes in the details of the room.

Dreamworld Aubrey nods slowly, still pondering, "Maybe... Or maybe it's just a design choice. It just feels odd, you know?"

Dreamworld Mari offers a comforting smile, placing a hand on Dreamworld Aubrey's shoulder. "It'll be okay, Aubrey. Maybe Sweetheart's just embracing change. Let's focus on the task at hand for now."

Then Dreamworld Aubrey nods while Dreamworld Mari added with a wink "Although I did convince the sproutmole that I help to set aside safely the items related to capt.Spaceboy's time with her."

As Omori nudges pointing at the corner of the bedchamber if that covered statue silhouette is that capt.Spaceboy that is one of the older decor of sweetheart prevent to be thrown away.

Dreamworld Aubrey's expression softens with relief as Dreamworld Mari's words sink in, and she smiles gratefully. "Thank you, Mari. That was thoughtful of you."

Dreamworld Kel leans in with a mischievous grin. "Looks like Mari's the real hero here, saving memorabilia from the dustbin!"

Dreamworld Hero chuckles. "That's our Mari, always looking out for sentimental things."

Dreamworld Basil nods in agreement. "It's nice to preserve memories, even if they're just statues."

Omori's gaze lingers on the covered statue, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes. "It's interesting how even in a castle of dreams, some things remain unchanged."

Dreamworld Mari gives Omori a playful nudge. "Curious about your old friend, Omori?"

Omori's expression remains neutral, but there's a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Just observing. Let's finish up here and see what else this adventure has in store for us."

Then before they leave Dreamworld Mari questions them "so what took YOU guys so long to gather up back to me? Since it looks like you had exp without me?"

Dreamworld Hero scratches his head sheepishly. "Well, we had a minor run-in with Sir Maximus and a couple of royal guards. Nothing we couldn't handle, though."

Dreamworld Kel adds with a grin, "Omori here pulled off some slick moves with that knife of his!"

Dreamworld Aubrey nods. "Yeah, and we leveled up a bit from the battle. But nothing compared to your saving Sweetheart's history!"

Dreamworld Basil chuckles. "It's all about teamwork. We couldn't have done it without each other."

Omori nods in agreement. "Exactly. We're a solid team, no matter what challenges we face."

Dreamworld Mari beams proudly at her friends. "That's why I'm glad to have all of you here. Let's keep moving forward together!"

Mari finally rejoins the party , however Omori still felt bothered as if they were forgetting something or he did?

Dreamworld Mari notices Omori's unease and pats his shoulder reassuringly. "You seem a bit off, Omori. Is everything okay?"

Omori gives a faint smile. "Just a nagging feeling. Maybe it's nothing."

Dreamworld Basil nods in understanding. "We'll figure it out together. Let's go find sproutmole Mike and wrap up our tasks before heading back to the main castle hall."

Dreamworld Hero adds, "And hopefully, the show can continue smoothly now."

Dreamworld Aubrey chimes in, "I'm looking forward to seeing how everything turns out!"

With renewed determination, the group sets off to find sproutmole Mike and ensure everything is in order for Sweetheart's show to proceed.

Dreamworld Kel runs ahead that made the rest laugh as they wander "Yeah yeah can't wait to look for the guy hmm…where could the most trusted sproutmole of sweetheart around this big castle?"

As Dreamworld Mari thinks before smiling'"ohh I recall the sproutmole Castella told me that usually, Sproutmole Mike is somewhere at sweetheart's Garden….secret area? Hmm…I think for now he isn't there just somewhere easy to spot in that garden…"

The group nods in agreement with Dreamworld Mari's suggestion. Dreamworld Aubrey adds, "Let's head to Sweetheart's Garden then. It shouldn't be too difficult to find Sproutmole Mike there."

Dreamworld Hero leads the way, his excitement evident. "I've heard about Sweetheart's Garden. It's supposed to be quite beautiful."

Dreamworld Basil nods, adjusting his hat. "Hopefully, we'll find Sproutmole Mike quickly and get our tasks sorted out."

Dreamworld Kel, who had run ahead, returns with a grin. "I found it! Sweetheart's Garden is this way. Follow me!"

The group follows Dreamworld Kel's lead, eager to find Sproutmole Mike and complete their tasks, bringing them one step closer to ensuring Sweetheart's show can continue smoothly.

Omori follows as he still feels something is off yet had a small twitching smile to just keep this adventure going with his friends as they do walk ahead.

Some time passed however Dreamworld Kel froze that made the rest stop.

As Omori recognize this sproutmole as it's says "YOU!!! You all ODDBALL sort of Sproutmoles , I was able to get intel that your guests that aren't Sproutmoles

Right? I am Sir Maximus the II…Sir Maximus father—"

As the Royal guard sproutmole pause when the rest of the party sigh of dissatisfaction besides dreamworld Mari innocently ask "why is it recognizing us not as Sproutmoles?" (Did it see beyond our masked disguises?)

Dreamworld Basil steps forward, trying to defuse the tension. "Sir Maximus, we're here to help Sproutmole Mike with the preparations for Sweetheart's show. We're not here to cause any trouble."

Dreamworld Hero adds, "We've been working hard to assist the Sproutmoles and ensure everything runs smoothly."

Dreamworld Aubrey chimes in, "Perhaps there's been a misunderstanding. We're just trying to be helpful guests in Sweetheart's castle."

Sir Maximus seems skeptical but slightly less aggressive. "Helpful guests, you say? Very well, I'll keep an eye on you. Don't cause any trouble, or else!"

With that warning, Sir Maximus continues his patrol, allowing the group to proceed towards Sweetheart's Garden. Dreamworld Mari whispers to Omori, "Do you think Sir Maximus knows something about us? Why did he recognize us like that?"

Omori shrugs "I dunno guess these MAXIMUS SPROUTMOLE FAMILY TREES as Hero told you earlier we met Sir Maximus and this one is sir Maximus the second so perhaps the father he warns us about…"

As Dreamworld Kel smiles "Don't worry Mari!!! Pretty sure it's harmless now if we keep being peaceful like how Hero is the one that is so nice to those sort of things despite they are aggressive to us first…"

Dreamworld Hero nods in agreement. "It's important to stay calm and friendly, even in challenging situations. We don't want to escalate any misunderstandings."

Dreamworld Aubrey adds, "Exactly. Let's focus on finding Sproutmole Mike and helping with the show. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly from here on out."

Dreamworld Basil suggests, "We should keep an eye out for any other surprises. Sweetheart's castle seems to be full of unexpected encounters."

With renewed determination, the group continues their journey through Sweetheart's Garden, eager to assist with the preparations for Sweetheart's show and unravel any mysteries along the way.

Once they do travel and casually wearing their sproutmole mask unsuspected by the other sproutmoles until they notice Sproutmole smile having his tea time at the corners of the well crafted bushy labyrinth garden walls of Sweetheart

The group approaches Sproutmole Smile, who is enjoying his tea time amidst the lush greenery of the well-crafted labyrinth garden walls of Sweetheart's castle. Dreamworld Mari, with her friendly demeanor, steps forward and greets him, "Good day, Sproutmole Smile! We're looking for Sproutmole Mike. Do you happen to know where he might be?"

Sproutmole Smile, with a warm smile on his face, replies cheerfully, "Ah, greetings, fellow Sproutmoles! Sproutmole Mike is currently overseeing the preparations near the grand fountain. You'll find him there, attending to the final touches for Sweetheart's upcoming show."

Dreamworld Hero nods appreciatively and thanks Sproutmole Smile for the information. "Thank you for your help! We'll make sure to visit Sproutmole Mike near the grand fountain."

As they make their way through the labyrinth garden, Dreamworld Kel whispers to the group, "It's amazing how friendly and helpful these Sproutmoles are, even in such a grand place like this."

Dreamworld Aubrey nods in agreement, admiring the intricate designs of the garden. "It's like a hidden paradise here. I can see why Sweetheart loves this place."

With renewed excitement, they follow the labyrinth paths, guided by the enchanting sights and the anticipation of meeting Sproutmole Mike and assisting with the preparations for Sweetheart's show.

Then Omori spoke for everyone as he uttered when they are about to reach the center of the garden "Hey Sproutmole Mike is over there" he says nonchalantly.

As they approach the center of the garden, Omori calmly points out Sproutmole Mike's location. "There he is," he says, his tone relaxed yet focused.

Sproutmole Mike, noticing their approach, waves enthusiastically and calls out, "Ah, welcome, welcome! I've been expecting you all. Sweetheart has been eagerly awaiting your assistance with the final arrangements for her grand show."

Dreamworld Mari steps forward with a smile. "We're ready to help in any way we can," she assures him.

Sproutmole Mike nods appreciatively. "Fantastic! We have a few tasks left to ensure everything is perfect. Let's get started."

The group then joins Sproutmole Mike, diving into their assigned tasks with enthusiasm and efficiency, eager to contribute to the success of Sweetheart's show.

As they follow , Omori and Dreamworld Mari recall Tom not delving the time they enter blackspace by accident.

However , Dreamworld Basil seems shudders as it felt something gazing amongst the bushy garden Walls of the vicinity.

The tension is ease as Dreamworld Aubrey speaks "So Sproutmole Mike REALLY? Sweetheart is aware of us non-sproutmole guests?"

As Dreamworld Kel added "what did you told Sweetheart while you let us help other Sproutmoles. In our disguises?"

Dreamworld Mike chuckles softly. "Oh, Sweetheart is well aware of your presence and your unique capabilities. She values diversity and talent, you see. As for what I told her, just that a group of highly skilled individuals were here to lend a hand with the preparations. She's excited to meet you all in person once everything is ready."

Dreamworld Aubrey nods in understanding, while Dreamworld Kel grins. "Looks like we've made quite an impression, huh?"

Dreamworld Basil, still slightly tense, scans the surroundings again but relaxes as nothing seems amiss. "Let's focus on the tasks at hand. We can discuss further once we're done here."

With renewed focus, they continue their tasks, ensuring everything is set up perfectly for Sweetheart's show.

Meanwhile , as Sweetheart hums just happily practicing her act. If ever the show continued before hearing the pair of doors open for sweetheart's bedchambers that got her to smile and spoke "Hoho ho , it seem Sproutmole Mike heed my request welcome

Dear guests from Vast forest , I see one of you are my biggest fans…"

As they took off their sproutmole masks for her , Aubrey beams to fix her pink main large bow of her head and other smaller bows of her hair to utter "It's truly a pleasure to meet you sweetheart yet , I thought we could interact with you after the show once this one comtinued?"

As the others nod , however Sweetheart smirks "actually there's a reason thanks to my loyal servant Sproutmole Mike I request your audience here besides grateful for the help is…"

She beams "Could the two of your BOYS be part of the replacement of the other two missing suitors for my show?"

They gasp "what? Seriously?"

Dreamworld Mari chuckles softly, enjoying the unfolding scene. "Looks like Sweetheart has a special request for you two," she remarks to Dreamworld Kel and Dreamworld Basil.

Dreamworld Kel grins mischievously. "I knew we'd make an impression, but this is unexpected!"

Dreamworld Basil nods, intrigued. "It seems we've caught Sweetheart's attention with our skills. Should we accept her offer?"

Dreamworld Aubrey giggles, finding the situation amusing. "I think it's a great opportunity! Plus, it'll add a fun twist to the show."

Omori remains calm, observing the exchange. "It's your decision, but remember, Sweetheart's shows can be quite... dramatic."

Dreamworld Hero smiles, supportive. "Go for it, guys! It's a chance to shine in a different light."

With their minds buzzing with possibilities, they turn to Sweetheart for more details on the role she has in mind for them.

Sweetheart huffs "No no don't misunderstand I appreciate you accept my offer but…"

She user her pastel color fan to point at Omori and Hero "I think these two lads are more suitable contestants for my show!!!"

Which made Dreamworld Mari and Dreamworld Aubrey experience conflicted expressions

While Dreamworld Kel and Dreamworld Basil spoke in unison "what? How are they qualified?"

Dreamworld Hero chuckles, feeling a mix of surprise and amusement. "Well, well, it seems we're the unexpected stars of the show today," he quips, looking at Omori.

Omori maintains his usual calm demeanor, though a hint of curiosity sparkles in his eyes. "Interesting turn of events. I wonder what Sweetheart has in mind for us."

Dreamworld Aubrey glances at Omori and Hero, her expression shifting from surprise to curiosity. "I didn't expect this twist. It'll be exciting to see how they fare in Sweetheart's show."

Dreamworld Mari nods, agreeing with Aubrey. "It's definitely unexpected, but it might add a new layer of excitement to the show."

Dreamworld Kel and Dreamworld Basil exchange intrigued looks. "This could be quite the adventure," Kel remarks, while Basil adds, "Let's see where this takes us."

As they await Sweetheart's explanation, the group is filled with anticipation and a sense of adventure at the prospect of participating in Sweetheart's show in such unexpected roles.

Sweetheart explains with a playful glint in her eyes, "Oh, my dears, it's all about the intrigue and drama! Hero and Omori bring a unique charm and mystery that would captivate my audience. Plus, their interactions with each other and their friends add a delightful twist to the storyline."

Dreamworld Kel raises an eyebrow, intrigued. "I see, so it's about the storyline and the dynamics they bring to the stage?"

Sweetheart nods enthusiastically. "Exactly! It's not just about being suitors; it's about weaving a captivating narrative that keeps everyone on the edge of their seats."

Dreamworld Basil smiles, understanding Sweetheart's perspective. "That makes sense. It'll certainly make for an interesting show."

The group, while initially surprised, begins to see Sweetheart's vision and looks forward to the unique experience ahead in the show.

Then , Sproutmole Mike ask the group "would you accept the offer? It means the only members of your group left retuning to main show as fellow viewers are the rest (Basil , Kel , Aubrey and Mari) than these other two boys are assisted by me and her highness what clothing and accessories to wear for the show…."

The group exchanges glances, silently considering Sproutmole Mike's proposal. Dreamworld Kel speaks up, "It's definitely an unexpected turn of events, but it sounds like an exciting opportunity. What do you think, guys?"

Dreamworld Aubrey nods thoughtfully. "It could be a fun experience, and we'll still be there to support you both."

Dreamworld Mari chimes in, "I'm curious to see how this plays out. It's a bit of a twist, but I'm up for it."

Dreamworld Basil agrees, "As long as everyone's comfortable with it, I don't see why not. It's all part of the adventure."

Omori and Hero share a look before nodding. "We're in," Hero says with a grin. "It'll be a memorable experience, that's for sure."

With unanimous agreement, they turn to Sproutmole Mike and Sweetheart, ready to embrace this unexpected turn in their adventure at Sweetheart's castle.

As the rest of the group left, Dreamworld Mari stayed behind to say her words before parting ways with Omori and Hero (she kissed Hero's cheek while giving Omori headpats) "Take care you two okay? We believe you both can do this!!!"

As Omori nods and asks "You believe so Mari and not mind?"

Dreamworld Mari smiles softly. "I do believe in you both, and I trust Sweetheart's judgment in this. Besides, it's a unique opportunity for you. As for me, I'll catch up with the others and see how the show goes. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine."

She gives Omori another gentle pat on the shoulder. "Take care of each other, alright? And have fun! We'll be cheering for you from the audience." With a wave, she turns and heads off to join the rest of the group.

As then both boys wave back with and nod , Hero blush as he can still feel the kiss of Mari on his cheek.

While Omori softly smiled for a moment before they turn to Sweetheart laughing to say "Hohoho you both seems very close with your friends so ahem….Right introductions before me and Sproutmole Mike lend you preparations hmm…what are your names? This way once the show's host narrates they can be prepared for the script given"

Omori nods politely. "Of course, my name is Omori, and this is Hero." He gestures towards Hero, who gives a shy smile and a small wave.

Sweetheart chuckles softly. "Lovely to meet you both, Omori and Hero! I'm sure you'll add an exciting twist to the show. Now, let's get you ready for your grand entrance!" She motions for them to follow as she leads the way to the dressing rooms with Sproutmole Mike.
