I'm afraid not, sorry. I'm already using my guest ticket for my uncle.

That is so okay! I'm glad you were able to use it.

Kiloni watches the proceedings with rapt interest although she cannot suppress the smile and the occassional bounce as she does so.

Kiloni lets out an excited squeal she had been holding in for quite a while. She runs out of the room as she speaks into her phone.

Kiloni (into her phone)

Hi Marshal! How did you do? What? <laugh> Marshal the acting marshal, that is so funny! Hey, listen, I need your help. Do you have a guest to the ball tonight? I need at least one more ticket for my mom. My dad is using my guest ticket.

She waits anxiously as she makes her way to the restaurant where she is meeting her family.

Kiloni

You can take her? Yay! Thank you you are the BEST!

She makes it to her destination and she plops down at the only available chair at the table.

Kiloni

Mummy, I was able to find an extra ticket for you and Daddy will be using my guest ticket but I'm not sure I'll be able to find tickets for Victor and them.

Marcus (laughing)

Good! I don't care too much about going to a stuffy ball. We have enough of those at home!

Donny

Really sis, don't worry about us. We came to see your graduation.

Marcus

Yeah babe. Don't worry about us. We'll take advantage of the lack of people and hang out somewhere. Seriously, don't worry about us. Please.

After recieving assurances from her brothers, she happily lets it go and she starts telling them about her new teammates. But she waits for call backs from various people. Eventually her phone rings and she answers it...

Kiloni

Hello...Oh! Hi Bear! Uh huh...<gasp> really?!? Oh that is so great! Helens and Young Mi? Fabulous! Just one more ticket then! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I owe you big time. Okay...See you tonight!

Kiloni

Oh my gosh! You won't believe it! One of the guys in my new team found a couple of young ladies who are in need of escorts! Yay! Now we only need to find two more tickets!

Donny (with fake enthusiasm)

Oh...joy

But then he laughs and gives his sister a hug.

Donny

Seriously kiddo, if it really means that much to you for us to go then we'll go. You just have to find that last ticket so we all can suffer together. And, in case the last two tickets don't turn up, who gets the reprieve?

Kiloni (laughing)

I'll leave that up to you guys to fight over. Oh my gosh! That was so sweet of him to do this for me! I really think this team will all work out fine!

Daddy (indulgently)

We will see, my dear, we will see. Your mother and I will meet them tonight.

After eating, she goes back to her room so she can prepare for the graduation and the other scheduled events, and to find that elusive last ticket. It takes a few more minutes and several more phone calls but by the end of it, her mission is accomplished and she is so giddy and excited she almost forgets to call her brothers and lets them know that everyone is going.
