Josh : All the pretty dresses need at least 1 day to arrive, even if it is ready

Han: There are only 4 hours till the start of the show

All of them were busy searching for dresses. They must have searched most of the world's websites. But then Rose saw Peter whispering something to David.

Then Rose told Sweety about them.

Rose: Seems like our Support & Top are into something.

Sweety: They seem to take that task importandly.

Author: Girls !! that's " importantly " . And u are not supposed to gossip according to the script ?!

Rose & Sweety: Oh sorry.

Author: Now gooo !!!

Rose: This author lily is Just so disgusting (running and whispering )

Sweety: Just ruling us and chatting to Someonesbestie4life . I want to be in c drama.

Author:- Hey guys!!! Go do your work, don't mess up.

Hearing the voice of the author , they started to run with more speed, almost making a world record.

Rose grabbed Peter & David's shoulder.

Rose: Whatchu talkin' 'bout guys ???

Peter signaled her to come closer. Rose leans to hear, Sweety making an angle to hear what are they whishperring. And it was -

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

Upon hearing this, Rose made a hand sign as a sign of approval & sweety nod her head, understanding the assignment.

Meanwhile,

The team was in a state of panic. With just a few hours to go before the award show, Lily's dress was ruined. The tension in the room was palpable.

Josh: "We need to find a solution, and fast."

Han: "I'll call every designer I know."

Asher: "I'll search online, maybe we can find something custom-made."

While the boys were scrambling to find a solution, Rose and Sweety had a different plan. They had overheard Peter and David whispering about a secret stash of costumes.

Rose: "Hey, guys, I think I have an idea."

Sweety: "Spill it!"

Rose : Can't we make?

Han : Can't u just explain

Rose : Guys if you don't have a way you have to make a way right.

A smirk appeared in their face. They have understood the assignment. Asher ran to the second floor with Lily.
Others run with them, but they locked the door

Josh : Asher don't pls don't f-

Rose : Joshhhh

everyone turned to Josh, realising what he was about to say.

After random 3 hours,

The duo came to the drawing room.

Asher : Guess what I have done......

Josh : Agai-

Lily emerged from the room, her transformation complete. She wore a stunning dress, a masterpiece crafted by Asher's own hands. The dress, once a simple white gown, was now adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors.

          

Lily: "How does it look?"

Lily: "How does it look?"

The team was speechless. The dress was breathtaking.

Sweety: "Oh my God, Lily! You look amazing!"

Rose: "I knew you could pull it off."

Han: "Wow, Asher, you're a genius."

Asher: "A little bit of creativity goes a long way."

Peter: "I'm speechless."

David: "You look like a goddess, Lily."

Josh, who had been the most worried( worried about something else), was now filled with relief and admiration.

Josh: "You've outdone yourself, Asher. And Lily, you look absolutely stunning."

The staff member who had ruined the original dress watched from afar, her jaw dropped in disbelief. She had underestimated the team's creativity and resourcefulness.

As the team prepared to leave for the award show, Lily couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude and pride. She knew that she had a team that would always support her, no matter what. And she was ready to face the world, confident and beautiful.

Lily : Wait... ( to the staff) be prepared

D-Day

The time of the award show arrived, a mix of excitement and tension filling the air. Lily, though disheartened by the ruined dress, was determined to make the best of the situation.
As the team arrived at the venue, they were greeted by a flurry of activity. Cameras flashed, reporters shouted questions, and fans cheered. The atmosphere was electric.

Reporter 1: "Lily, your dress is absolutely stunning. Can you tell us a bit about the designer?"

Lily: "Well, it's a bit of a secret. Let's just say it was a team effort."

Reporter 2: "There were rumors about a dress mishap. Can you comment on that?"

Lily: (Smiling) "Let's just say that sometimes things don't go as planned, but it's how you handle those challenges that truly defines you."

Reporter 3:* "Some people are saying that you're not deserving of this nomination. What do you have to say to them?"

Asher (stepping in): "I think our team's hard work and dedication speaks for itself. We've proven ourselves time and time again. And as for Lily, she's a force to be reckoned with. She's talented, determined, and she's not afraid to take on any challenge."

Reporter (to Sweety): "Sweety, rumors are circulating about a 'secret weapon' that your team employs. Can you shed some light on this?"

Sweety (smiling enigmatically): "Let's just say we have a few tricks up our sleeves. You'll have to wait and see."

Reporter (to Han): "Han, you're known for your intense focus. What's your secret to maintaining such a high level of concentration?"

Han (with a mischievous glint in his eye): "Sometimes, a little bit of caffeine goes a long way. And maybe a few strategically placed distractions for my opponents."

The reporters were left bewildered by Han's cryptic response.

Reporter (to Peter): "Peter, you're known for your aggressive playstyle. Do you think this aggressive approach is sustainable in the long run?"

Peter (grinning): "Let's just say that I'm always looking for an edge. And sometimes, that edge involves a little bit of friendly intimidation."

Reporter (to David): "David, you're known for your calm and collected demeanor. How do you stay so composed under pressure?"

David (with a sly smile): "I have my secrets. But let's just say that a little bit of meditation and a healthy dose of sarcasm can go a long way."

Reporter (to Asher): "Asher, you seem to have a unique connection with Lily. Can you tell us a little bit about your relationship?"

Asher (smiling slightly): "Lily is... well, she's extraordinary. She's not just a talented gamer; she's an incredible person. And I've had the privilege of witnessing her growth firsthand. She's strong, resilient, and incredibly kind. Plus, she has this amazing ability to brighten up any room."

Reporter: "You seem to know her very well, Asher."

Asher (winking): "Let's just say I have a few secrets about her. But I'll let her share those herself."

The reporters were left scratching their heads, trying to decipher the hidden meanings behind the team's enigmatic responses. It was clear that the Rainbow Gaming team was not only skilled gamers, but also masters of the art of misdirection and intrigue.

Josh: "Alright, team, let's make a grand entrance."

As they walked down the red carpet, Lily felt a surge of confidence. She had learned to adapt to challenges, and she was ready to face whatever came her way.

Inside the venue, the team mingled with other gamers, industry professionals, and celebrities. Lily was introduced to various people, including representatives from other gaming companies and influential figures in the industry.

The air crackled with anticipation as the Rainbow Gaming team mingled with other esports stars at the prestigious award ceremony. Suddenly, Alex, the stoic captain of the Dark Knights, approached Lily.

Alex: "So, Lily. You're known for your gaming skills, but what else do you do besides sit in front of a screen all day?"

Lily, taken aback by his blunt question, paused for a moment.

Lily: "Well, I enjoy dancing and singing. I've actually won a few local competitions."

Alex: "Dancing? Singing? Please. Those are just hobbies. They don't really matter in the real world."

Lily felt a surge of annoyance.

Lily: "Actually, I won the regional youth dance competition for three consecutive years. And I also won first prize at the National Youth Music Festival last year."

Alex: (Scoffs) "Impressive. But those are just frivolous pursuits. They don't translate to real-world success."

Lily, though initially taken aback, decided to put Alex in his place.

Lily: "You know, I also speak fluent Korean, I've volunteered at an animal shelter for years, and I'm currently learning to play the piano. And oh, I almost forgot, I won the National Youth Science Fair two years in a row."

Alex was speechless. He hadn't expected such a strong retort.

Just then, Josh approached them.

Josh: "Ready to shine, Lily?"

Lily: "Ready as I'll ever be."

Alex : Be ready

To the hosts

Alex: "Actually, she agreed to do a small impromptu performance. I told her it would be a surprise for everyone."

Jisoo: "A surprise performance? Was this discussed with the organizers?"

Alex: "It's a small, thing. Just a little something to add some excitement to the evening."

Rose and Jisoo exchanged a knowing glance. They could tell Alex was up to something.

Rose: "Well, we'll be looking forward to it. Lily is quite talented."

Jisoo: "We're sure she'll put on a fantastic show."

Alex smiled, satisfied with their agreement. He knew this would throw Lily off guard and perhaps even unsettle her. It was all part of his plan to gain a psychological edge.

As the award ceremony began, Lily was completely unaware of the surprise performance that had been arranged for her. She was backstage, preparing for her moment on stage to present an award, completely oblivious to the unexpected turn of events that awaited her.
