niccca: OMG Lavornia u so lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but tell me, how the guard looked like? what did he say to you?????
lavornia: Hm...I bet this is just some sort of prank. This can't be true.
niccca: come on, I don't believe that! there has to be a reason why you are invited. i think you should be at least happy for that! what would I give to be at your place! OMG i still can't believe it >.<
lavornia: Like I said, it's probably someone's joke, perhaps someone from our class wanted to make fools out of us. That wouldn't be something new.
niccca: ok, if you are so hard to convince, lets meet tomorrow in front of Venous and find out for ourselves.
lavornia: OK. See you tomorrow.
niccca: you better be there at 8 am - I'm so impatient!!!! OMG lavornia, you're gonna meet the celebs! kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
lavornia: Don't excite yourself just yet - we're still not sure whether the invitation is real or not.
niccca: ok mom :P kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
lavornia: Whatever. Good night.
niccca: omg i won't sleep now when i know of this! kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Lavornia didn't sleep well that night. She had constant nightmares bothering her and with the same, constant message: Your dreams will come true the way you never planned. She would wake up every now and then, scared and wet from all the sweat that human body produces when adrenaline rules over it's body in fear. In our dreams, fear often seems a lot bigger and more powerful than in reality. But what did cause Lavornia to feel fear? She couldn't find the answer to that question. Instead, she explained it with stress that comes out of everyday life, such as school obligations. Even though she is an A student, she knows that a great success comes with a great amount of stress. Yes, it must be just the stress.

'Good morning honey!' said mom with her usual caring attitude.
'Morning.' Lavornia replied while yawning and reaching for breakfast her mom made for the family.
'You look pale, honey. Did you sleep well?' asked mom with a worried posture.
'I didn't sleep good at all.' Lavornia replied quietly while humbly eating her toast.
'Did you had a bad dream?' mom continued with her interrogation.
'Well, something like that. But it is really nothing important, just stress from school, I guess. Yes, it must be just that.' Lavornia responded a bit nervously and uneasy.
'Ok honey, but if there is something bothering you, don't keep it for yourself. Remember that Dad and I will always be here to help you, no matter what.' told mom with a caring face and a gentle, supporting smile.
'Tnx Mom.' Lavornia smiled a bit.
'Do you have plans for today or is it just studying again?' asked mom.
'Oh, I have to go! I'm meeting with Nica today. We agreed to meet today. Is that OK?' Lavornia said quickly like she is hiding something (which she was).
'Yes, sure, I'm fine with that. Just don't come too late. Try to come by the lunch time.' mom replied.
'OK thanks Mom! I'm off, bye!' Lavornia said and exited the house.
'Bye honey! Have fun!'

Lavornia literally rushed to the place where she was supposed to meet with Nica. She didn't know why she was so pumped up for getting there as soon as possible; she had plenty of time to get there by walking normally. Even so, her heart was beating fast and, although she knew it was because of rushing, deep down she was aware of another reason - the invitation. This invitation that could be just a prank, as she explained to Nica, was making her feel uneasy. How was one invitation going to enable her to meet the people she had no respect for the most? It had to be a prank, there was no logical reason that could explain why would she be chosen to be invited. As she was running, she dropped her invitation she had been carrying in her hand and the wind had blown it away, to the Venous hotel entrance itself. Lavornia walked to the entrance to pick up the invitation, and suddenly, Nica was calling her name from the distance.
'Lavornia!' Nica shouted.
'Hey Nica!' responded Lavornia.
'Sorry I'm late, I had to take my brother to grandma.'
'It's ok, I just got here as well.' Lavornia said.
'And who do I owe this pleasure to return this invitation to?' said the voice behind Lavornia's back. She turned and saw the celebrity guard that came to her house yesterday.
'To her! This is my friend's invitation!' Nica replied perkily.
'Oh I see. Then, you mustn't lose the invitation, young lady. Otherwise, you won't be able to attend the event.' guard replied kindly.
'I would like to know why I was invited. There isn't any of the celebrities I know in person, so there isn't a reason for me to be invited.' Lavornia said determinely.
'I am sorry to disappoint you, but I am not familiar with the reason of your invitation. I simply carry out orders I am given.' guard responded seriously, but still with a smiley face.
'How can I be sure that this isn't some sort of trick?' Lavornia asked with a more straight face of a straight face she usually makes when she is serious.
'I can understand your uncertainty in this invitation, however it is the authentic invitation to the celebrity event that will be held in this hotel. If you aren't sure about your arrival, you can pass the invitation to someone else.' guard said nicely.
'Ok, then I pass it to my friend Nica?.' Lavornia responded.
'Oh my God, really? Thank you Lavornia! You're the best! said Nica with a huge excitement and hugged Lavornia.
'Didn't I promise you to give you the invitation, even in the most crazy odds? Well, now I'm just keeping that promise.' Lavornia replied with a nice smile for her friend.
Nica's phone started ringing and she picked up. Her grandma was calling her to come over her place to lunch.
'Ok grandma, I'll be there in 15 minutes. Bye.' (hang up the phone) 'I have to go now, but I just want to say I couldn't be happier to be your friend - you really made my dream come true and I could never thank you for that.' Nica said to Lavornia while hugging her once again.
'You're my friend, I'm glad to make you happy.' Lavornia replied
'Bye then! And goodbye sir, I'll see you on the party!' Nica greeted the guard.
'Goodbye, young lady!' guard replied.
Lavornia felt a relief, like a big stone come off her heart. She smiled as she waved back to Nica.
'Young lady, are you really certain in your decision?' guard asked Lavornia.
'Yes, I am. I never believed in fairytales like my friend, nor ever will.' Lavornia responded with a serious face.
'Well, fairytale or not, it would be pity to miss that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After all, dreams happen the way you never planned.' guard says without blinking, even though he was looking to the distance.
Lavornia got struck by that words as she remembered that was the same message from her nightmares. She looked at the guard and asked: Who are you?
'My young lady, you are yet to find out...'
