"What do you mean I will no longer be acting as Diva Lorelie's chaperone?" Prime asked the female Leonian who was on a holographic screen before him.
"As I said, Diva Lorelie was not happy with you being her chaperone and has personally requested someone else." The woman replied.
"But why? Did she give a reason? Also, who did she ask for instead?" Prime asked in disbelief.
"She didn't give a reason, just that she was unhappy with you being her chaperone. As for who she wants instead, apparently, it's the influencer Eri."
"The Xer-verse influencer? She's not as popular as I am. You have to do something, Aunt. I already publicly announced that I would be her chaperone on stream."
"And whose fault is that? I told you to hold off on announcing it until we got the ok from Diva Lorelie, but no, you just had to go and brag about it, didn't you? Now you're going to look like an idiot, and to make matters worse, apparently Malgath Morthil Mirawenys has got wind of it and is going to talk about it on The MMM Show."
"Noooo, you have to help me fix this, Aunt."
"And how do you expect me to do that? I have no influence over what they talk about on The MMM Show, as for making you Diva Lorelie's chaperone again, forget it. I used my influence and position to suggest you to the Matriarch for the position.
There is no way the Matriarch will insist on you being the chaperone; doing so might make Diva Lorelie change her mind about performing here, and that would seriously upset the general public, you know how popular she is right now.
You're just going to have to suck it up and take the hit when this becomes public, all because you couldn't keep your big mouth shut and had to brag about it. Maybe this will teach you a lesson." The female Leonian said before ending the holocall.
Prime stared blankly at the location where the holocall had been before suddenly clutching his head and shouting, "FFFUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK."

"I have something to give you before we leave," Adam said as he approached Lorelie while carrying some kind of case.
It was the day of Lorelie's concert at the Royal Palace arena, and everyone was getting ready to depart.
"Something to give me?" Lorelie asked as she looked curiously at the case Adam was carrying.
Adam placed the case down on the table in Lorelie's room before opening it to reveal a then golden band that was circular in colour with spirals at the end.
"What is it?" Lorelie asked as she looked at the band in fascination.
"A type of armour to help protect you in case anything happens," Adam replied.
"You mean like the anti-gravity armour you have? But it looks like a simple bracelet."
"Not exactly. Although the anti-gravity armour I use can alter its form, due to the presence of the anti-gravity drive, it can't become much smaller than its base form.
This, on the other hand, doesn't have an anti-gravity drive but a different effect while still offering the same level of protection."
"What effect?"
"Put it on and I will show you," Adam instructed.
Lorelie nodded and picked up the bracelet before examining it for a moment, before slipping it onto her wrist.
As she did so, a holographic screen appeared above her uniband that she looked at.
[[Connecting Form Bracelet to Uniband.]]
[[Connection complete]]
[[Registering new user]]
[[Registration complete]]
[[Please scan first outfit]]
"Registration? Scan first outfit?" Lorelie muttered in a confused tone.
"The Form Bracelet is linked to your biometrics, meaning that only you, as the new owner and I, as the original owner, can use it." Adam began to explain.
"As for the scan function, choose an outfit from your wardrobe and hold the Form Bracelet over it before saying, 'scan outfit'."
Lorelie nodded before moving towards the outfit she had already set aside, which she intended to wear as they travelled to the Royal Palace arena, and held out her wrist, wearing the Form bracelet, before saying, "Scan outfit."
A blue glow came out of the bracelet and swept across the clothes before vanishing as a new message appeared on her uniband.
[[Outift scan complete. Please choose a name for the outfit.]]
"Royal Palace Arena Outfit," Lorelie stated as she said the first thing that came to mind.
[[Outfit registration complete]]
[[You can now equip outfit: Royal Palace Arena Outfit]]
"Now that it is registered, say the words 'Equip Royal Palace Arena Outfit," Adam instructed.
"Equip Royal Palace Arena Outfit," Lorelie said, and as she finished speaking, the Form Bracelet started to glow slightly before it started to move and break apart into dozens of small sections that each moved to a different point on Lorelie's body.
As they reached their designated points, they seemed to multiply until they completely covered her body in a type of golden armour, after which it retracted until only the parts of her body that the outfit she had scanned were covered.
The Form Bracelet then started to change colour and shape as it morphed in a way that was very similar to the anti-gravity armour until it took on the exact appearance of the clothes Lorelie had scanned.
After it finished, Lorelie stood before Adam in the exact clothes she had chosen to wear, except those clothes were still lying beside her, waiting to be used.
"Wha!" Lorelie said in shock as she approached the tall full-body mirror in her room and examined herself from different angles before turning on the spot.
"It's exactly the same." She finally commented before looking back at Adam in amazement.
"Not quite, while it does look and feel exactly the same as the clothes you scanned, the Form Braclet offers you much greater protection," Adam replied.
"And it will work on any outfit?" Lorelie asked with sparkling eyes.
"I believe so," Adam replied.
"I love it, thank you, babe," Lorelie said happily as she jumped towards Adam forcing him to catch her before locking her lips with his and kissing him passionately for a few minutes.
As they broke the kiss, they both looked at each other and could see the desire in each other's eyes; however, they fought down the urge to do anything as they knew they had to leave soon.
"I have a great idea how to use this," Lorelie said as she stared down at her clothes again.
Adam smiled and was about to say something when they heard Rowena calling for them.
"Hey, love birds, save the mushy stuff for later. We need to get going if we don't want to be late."
Adam and Lorelie smiled at each other before they held hands and walked out of Lorelie's room and down onto the ground floor, where they found everyone, including Jacques, waiting for them.
"What took you so long?" Rowena asked curiously.
"Adam was giving me a present," Lorelie replied happily.
"Another one?" Rowena asked in surprise.
"Is it wrong to give your girlfriend presents?" Adam asked.
"No, it's just unusual for a boyfriend to give so many in a short period."
"Except, of course, he's using that as a way to get into the woman's bed," Erkath added.
"Well, there is that, but I don't think Adam needs to do that; he already shares Lorelie's bed after all," Rowena replied before adding. "Did you give Stacey one also?"
"Grandmother, I don't need you asking that every single time," Stacey said with a sigh.
"I'm just looking out for my granddaughter's happiness. For a group relationship to work properly, the one whose group it is must treat all his wives, girlfriends or lovers equally."
"Don't worry, this present was special, and I already gave Stacey one similar in the past," Adam replied, making Stacey raise her eyebrow in curiosity.
"Are you going to tell or show us what he gave you?" Rowena asked Lorelie.
"Secret," Lorelie said playfully while sticking out her tongue before adding. "Though you might spot it during the performance."
"Oh, really? Then we'd better go, as we don't want to be late."
"It's not like the performance can start without the star, right?" Tephe asked.
"True, but a celebrity shouldn't keep their fans waiting if they can help it; it can be bad for their image if they do," Rowena explained as they all left the mansion and headed for the woods that would lead them to the shore of Lorelie's island.
