Chapter 1: MidNight Plaza

It’s as if the world was against her.

 

The once optimistic, creative, and energetic little girl just suddenly felt like the world wanted to take revenge from her for taking the special person in her life away from her.

The girl, who looked like she was around twelve was going to go back to her Auntie’s house after school, all through the while she could not stop thinking about what had happened… 

No, I can’t keep thinking about her, it 

happened all so fast but….

She isolated herself from her friends, even if her auntie and father wanted to talk to her, but it always felt.. empty… when talking to them. As if there was something missing…

She looked down into the pave ways of the street, keeping a fast and steady pace for herself while she was kicking the tiniest rocks on the street

Who would do such a thing, she thought, 

No this can’t be right, why is no one telling me what happened? I want to know the truth!

As she crossed the alleyway that she usually crossed, in the corner of her eye she spotted a fluffy, pink bird-like creature with cat ears. She stopped her stride for a minute and looked at the strange, and rather cute creature for a minute.

“Timmu, timmu!”, the creature exclaimed, it wanted the girl to follow her. She followed the creature up, at least there was something to cheer her up about, it looked a bit cute..

At the end of the alleyway, she came across an abandoned, yet grandiose theater with glistening lights on the facade and with a big sign that read:

Wonderworld Theater

She never heard of this theater at all in her town, so she looked from left to right to see if anyone would take notice of the theater, but people passed by as if it never existed… it’s as if time stopped when she approached it.

From the corner of her eye, she spotted a poster standee of a shadow on what it looks like the shadow was wearing, a top hat bearing a grin. She found it...unnerving at best.

“Timmu?”, the small creature questioned. She looked down on the creature who was entering the door, it was as if it was saying “Well, aren’t you coming?”

“Well, who couldn’t say no to you..?”, she said to herself, so she opened the door and went inside….

.

.

.

Once she entered inside, the entrance doors immediately shutted with a click!

She jumped and turned back and tried to pull the doors back open.

Great. Locked.

She didn't know what to do so, she looked around...

The theater inside almost didn't even looked like a theater at all, the entrance inside was a gorgeous checkered floor, and a pristine chandelier on the cathedral like ceiling. There were mirrors on the walls that looked like there were shattered, some were covered up with linen blankets. Someone must've broke inside, the girl thought as she tensed.

There were also movie posters on the wall as well, some posters were stored in untouched boxes in the dust, there were also props and other nick-nacks that weren't organized and left in the dust. The actors and the language on the posters were ones that she didn't recognized either.

Maybe the theater was closed? But why were the doors open in the first place?

As she continued to look, she saw in the corner room--a tall man, sitting in a chair looking at the gem, he had a glittering top hat with a red band around it, with a flamboyant white suit and cape and heels, adorned with red frills on his wrists and red ascents on his legs, the same man from the poster. He was looking at a yellow gem until he caught a reflection of the girl....

Eeyahoo~?

...?!

The girls heart rate skipped a beat in surprise at the man's sudden deep voice,

"Why, hello there..."

He slowly stood up from the chair, and suddenly was floating and spinning rapidly and bowed in front of her with a gracious bow,

"...And Welcome!", he welcomed with charisma, giving a friendly smile. The eyes in the red band of his top hat seemed to

The girl was unable to speak, it all came out as stuttering as she was trying to say what was going on.

The man only circled around her, his grin never fading. He was almost amused by her and chuckled as she was stunned until he pulled out the same fluffy pink-like bird with cat ears.

"Here child, have this! And tell me lass, what is that you amiss?", he asked. He pulled out a stethoscope, a popsicle stick as if to check her throat, he even checked her eyes as well. It's as if he was trying to emphasize his sentence in a theatrical way, she was trying to congest and ask what was going on, but it almost felt like the man was bouncing all over the walls of energy in this theater.

"What I mi--?"

The man interrupted her as he comedically threw away all the doctor supplies, "Why of course, a piece of your heart!"

"My hear-? YAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!"

He grabbed her by the sides and laughed triumphantly as he pushed her and dashed in lighting speed into another theater door.

He then placed her in a more smaller theater, and spun her around in a playful manner. it had a ton of tables and chairs, it even had it's own bar in the back.

"Now what--" she asked as the man was humming and kicking boxes and cleaning of any remaining dirt and dust as if he hadn't cleaned this place in days or years,

"Is going on? What are you doing in this part?" the man laughed joyously smiled, cutting her off mid-sentence again, it was almost getting annoying.

"Now I'm sure you have tons of questions you have in your mind, but for now...." he snapped is fingers and immediately and all of the room went dark, all of the stage lights were directed by the flamboyant man with the top hat.

"It's time....for the show to start!" he boomed with grandiose.

He started with a theatrical stance... and then started dancing and twirling, and even doing backflips. The man was so elegant and fast with his dancing and his movements, the girl was almost mesmerized by him.

The man then snapped his fingers and suddenly, he summoned clones of himself as back dancers, one of them flew and spun right by to her and somehow shapeshifted into a chair for her to sit.

It was as if she was floating on where she was sitting, with the little creature in her hand, she was then sended straight to a portal summoned along the stage, the man joining along with her as well...

.

.

So far it was as if along the ride... someone or something took her....

.

.

The girl was walking along the vast, empty and almost dream-like city. It was what she could think of right now at this stage, no new ideas were thinking of her at this time. Except the plaza, the plaza fountain and the big, humongous chapel; all quite similar to the ones she saw in her city. When she was walking around the shopping area in the plaza, she stopped and saw on the windows two blank mannequins. 

She tilted her head and all of the sudden, there was a flash of creativity that struck her immediately so she went inside the little shop.

There, she saw an empty boutique… there were even more empty mannequins, a vintage green sewing machine, and some paper with a pencil with an eraser. It seemed like the mannequins were neverending as she overviewed on how many there were…. She felt a little uneasy about how many there were.

She glanced down at the paper on the desk, she picked up the pencil, as if by a quick second she was done with a simple summer dress. Now how to sew it and put it somewhere… Surely, her favorite hobby to do was to draw and design dresses in her sketchbook. She didn’t know how to sew her own designs, but she dreamed of being a fashion designer someday..

.

.

.

It seemed like hours, or years, or who knows how long that she has been drawing and designing. It was so easy for her; draw a fashion design, and the sewing machine will do it for you. She wish she could do this forever until… In the corner of her she saw a yellow gem drop on the floor, with curiosity striking her she picked it. It was pretty at first but looking at the reflection of it, it’s as if she saw someone… or something in the gem. She couldn’t recall who it was but it looked like the person was really happy, it sounded like from the gem, cheering and laughing. She smiled a bit but then, looking at the floor there were more gems lying on the floor! Her eyes widened with shock as she saw more and more scattered across.. Before she continued to pick them up, these small, shadowy creatures with white masks and pink and purple creatures tried to eat them and swallow up.

“What…? Hey! Give those back!” she shouted. She ran and tried to swoop back the drops before the shadowy creatures tried to swallow it whole, but she couldn’t with no prevail. The more they tried the more faster they were than her.

She was about to give up and keep drawing until a shadowy figure swooped through her vision.

Huh?!

Swish, sling, swoosh! The figure captured the drops and fought the creatures with what it seems like a sword and captured the drops in an instant.

Who was that….?

The figure looked like it counted up the drops in his hand and grinned with satisfaction, as if by magic he swooped in his jacket, making them disappear. The girl was in shock.

The figure looked like a man, he didn’t really say much but when he turned to her, her heart skipped a beat and beated faster. The man was really tall, he had a caliver hat with feathers pinned on the side, it seemed to pull right down to his eyes like a mask. When he looked at her for a good minute he squinted his eyes and gave her an impish grin, it was full of mystery and it was as if he was begging her to come along, but there was something in her mind that was forbbinding her to go. As her heart calmed down, in her left hand was the yellow gem that she had earlier, when she was about to catch him up assuming that he dropped it, he was gone.

“Questions, questions, questions!”, a voice exclaimed in the distance, it was almost angelic at least. “Growing curiouser of this theater by the day aren’t you? Oh, you poor little lamb, you wander and wander for your own sake for a day or two..”

Click clack clack, the golden heels from the man echo off the shop, or her stage, as the girl was greeted by a handsome, tall man with striking white hair and white cloak that covered his shoulders.

It was Lance, the Maestro of Wonderworld

“Huh?!” the girl fumbled by the response as she hid the strange gem behind her back, “I-um… well… it’s.. nothing” she didn’t want this stranger to be concerned about what she saw.

“Really?….Nothing?” He chuckled as tilted his head, speaking in a kind manner as if he heard this many times.

“Yeah! I’m sure!” she said nervously, “But… uh…” she looked around her stage and then down again, kicking some of the dirt on the ground lightly.

Lance, being the most patient as ever, waited for the girl to say at least something with a sad smile. He putted his hand on her shoulder, but before he could say anything he looked around her near empty stage, “Well one things for sure; for a stage this grand. It does need some sprucing up at hand!”

“Sprucing up…?” she asked

“Hmm,” Lance thought, “this is your first time here, yes?”

The girl nodded.

The shoulder on his hand felt… nice.. warm.. comforting? A sharp ping of warmth crossed to her heart, this was the most content she felt, she didn’t know why though. It’s as if this is what she really needed the most. 

“By the way, mister,” she asked, “who are you?”

"...You don't know who I am..?" Lance inquired,

The girl shook her head no.

"Ah... well.."

 Lance hadn’t introduced himself yet so smirked in a cat-like smile and bowed down like a prince would,

"My name is Lance, the Maestro --or perhaps your guide-- of Wonderworld. My job here is to make sure your heart is in tact. With the state that you are in my dear, tis not the fact!"

Your heart is in tact...? She felt like she's heard of this before.

"Say, wasn't there someone who's just like you?", she asked.

"What could you mean, love?" Lance tilted his head in curiosity.

"Well, I just saw a man with a hat, or... maybe I saw one before I'm not sure...." she pondered, "but, this one had a sword and he was grabbing.... I think it was gems?? lt was shiny for sure!"

Lance tensed up, almost knowing what the girl was saying, but he had a confused, yet almost amused look in his face. He was so amused by this little girls inquisitive questions and what details she can remember on the top of her head, it was.. adorable to him to say the least.

He chuckled, "Now now, I'm not sure what you mean, but I can assure you that there is me and only me! If you are thinking about those 'creatures' grabbing gems, those are the negati. They're quite harmless, as you can see."

His head turned and pointed to the black, ink like creatures with neon patterns and stripes, grabbing and munching at the remaining gems.

Even though they were cute at least, that still doesn't answer her question.

Everytime she questions something, why does no one answer to her..?

Lance could notice that she was a bit discouraged at the answer, but he could sense that something else was wrong. He brushed his long, silver like hair to his ear and kneeled down in a gentle manner.

"Child, if there is anything that worries your mind, speak! Please know that I am always here to talk if your heart remains week.." Lance said in a gentle and reassuring manner. He held both of her tiny hands, contrast to his abnormal, large hands and gave them a reassuring squeeze.

The child made a deep sigh of relief, as if she needed to hear that from this kind gentleman. She broke from Lances hands and shrugged,

"It's... nothing. But...."

"But?"

"...Didn't you say that my stage needed...sprucing up?" she asked, as if changing the subject.

"I have haven't I..? Well, since this is Wonderworld, the stage here is at your command!" he struck his friendly smile as he got back up, "Your stage here is quite a unique one in my case. Shall I teach you tricks on what and where to place?"

"What do you mean?"

He gently grabbed her hand, his eyes twinkled with intrigue, "Come come! I shall show you!"

He lead her out of the boutique and in the middle of the empty shopping area of the plaza. He waited for her as if to do something, but it felt like she was more confused than ever.

"Alright....? Now what?"

"Nothing..? Not a single thing that you can think of?" he mused.

"What's there to think about? Is some building just going to pop out of nowhere?" she quipped sarcastically.

And just like that, another building from the shopping area did in fact, popped out of nowhere.

"Well, if you can think of that my dear!" he giggled.

Her eyes popped from surprise and her mouth fell open, she couldn't believe she actually thought of that.

"Just like that?!" she exclaimed.

"Just like that." Lance confirmed, "Now then, think of other things that can add to your own stage--add your own flare. Or change the place up if you like--theres no reason to stop there!"

She hummed, thinking of other things in her stage to add. She looked from left to right to center for other props she could add. She added more shops, some city props like street lamps, fire hydrants, some apartments, even a fountain in the center. It didn't had a statue in the center, but she didn't mind.

As Lance watched and helped the girl set up her stage, he commented, "You know, you remind me so much of a detective--always inquisitive and looking for clues. It's no wonder your striving out for answers--ike looking for news..."

Lance's eyes widened as if they thought of an idea, "That's it--Detective! Your name shall be Detective."

"Detective? You know you can't really name someone by their appearance... it's a little silly." she gave a sheepish laugh.

"Who says you can't? I believe you can." Lance shrugs.

As Detective thought about it, something stumped her. Why couldn't she remember her name...? She was actually gonna tell Lance her real name, but for some reason she can't remember.

Really silly indeed. However, detective that a cool sounding theme to it, so she let the thought go and stuck with it.

"I guess you have a point," she agreed.

As she was done with what she wanted from her stage, Lance rested his hand on his hip and gave an approving nod.

"Very good, and very well done! I'd say, love--you have quite the imagination on where you have gone..."

He looked around the stage and was on awe with the night time-like and dreamy atmosphere that Detective had brought out.

"Now then, I leave you at your own command. I believe my job here is done for a while--but please do not hesitant at all to call me by my name--I will be there to ail to your needs, hand in hand." He bowed graciously in farewell. His sincerity looked like he really meant what he said to Detective

Before he disappeared with a flourish with his hand, Detective called to him, "Lance, wait!"

Lance was half-transparent as he looked at Detective in an inquired look.

Detective softly smiled to Lance, "...Thank you."

Lance smiled back in a mysterious manner, as if knowing what was going on with Detective; leaving her on her own on her stage.

Impulse made a ref for my Negati oc Pip. Yes it has a name bahaha

Pip also Known as "The little Traitor" a name given to it by Lance, is a very friendly Negati. That adores and idolizes Balan, often seen following him around and mimicking him. At some point it got it's hands onto a Tim Balan hat, Pip refuses to take it off similar to Balan. Thimble noticed this and gave it the little bow it wears. It was ecstatic upon receiving the gift.

Pip is incredibly friendly towards inhabitants, the stickers on its Face having been stuck on there by one. (Note the colors on the stickers can be whatever it doesn't really matter lol). It will also not fight Tims, but if a Tim fights it, it will run, typically towards Balan or it's Mother. (Pip is really young lol)

Pip is a minor character in the au "The maestros and the Seamstress" typically being seen of course around Balan and is the one who brings the asks to Thimble :o].

Some editing and style replication practice because I started thinking about the Hydenborn BWW Au again

I gotta work on it again at some point and make lore for Tai

Maybe at some point when I get storytelling motivation again

[hydenborn-balan-pawsometoons]

The Maestro of Mystery waved goodbye to Emma Cole and Leo Craig, watching them leave, both with happy hearts. He soon removed his hat to wipe away the remaining tears in his eyes, before looking down at the tear he shed.. He picked it up and held it to his heart and sighed.

"What an adventure this was.. To think it had to end so soon... Emma and Leo, I shall never forget you..."

Balan was already thinking back on the adventure he shared with the two children who had recently just departed from Wonderworld... Once again, Balan was alone with his thoughts in his theater, somewhat disappointed that things had to end as quickly as they did.. Then again, a lot of them would end as quickly as they started. It's become a routine.. a repetitive one at that... Either way, he knew another adventure would be just beyond the horizon! In which he was correct! Except... this adventure would not be one that he'd expect...

Down in the depths of the Negati's realm, Lance was still trying to fight back the forces of Wonderworld's force of Balance. If there were two positive sides present in Wonderworld, it could fall apart and dissapear! So no matter what, there always would have to be a Negative and Positive force in Wonderworld. That being the Maestros... but Lance wasnt so quick to give up this time...

"I.. Can't live like this for much longer... Balan... he needs to know the truth... H-He needs to remember.. his past... his youth!.."

Lance dug deep into his heart, where he has kept the most deepest and darkest fears of others.. the pieces of the hearts of many... Including Balan's.. but how could this be?... How could the Maestro that was meant to heal the hearts of others, be missing pieces of his own and had never noticed?... Only Lance knows for sure.. but now he's become desperate. He no longer wants to reprise this role, or let Balan meet the same fate! From the deepest pits of Lance's heart, he painfully pulled out the missing pieces of Balan's own heart!

"Please Balan.. let your heart become anew... Now is your time to remember, there is so much more to you... For my final waking moment as the Maestro I used to be, I plead... Just forget about me... JUST BE FREE!!!"

Lance tossed the pieces as hard as he could, sending them flying up and up and up and out of the Negati's realm. The light of the glimmering shards was the last thing Lance would see before he was engulfed by the Negati once more.

Before Balan would know what hit him, a sharp and quick sting would pang at his heart and mind. The missing pieces of his heart reached him as his mind began filling with memories he had long forgotten... the entire life that was taken from him in an instant at such a young age... Balan could feel his heart beating hard and fast... He couldn't understand why he was remembering all of this... His old home, Hyden.. An Island hidden from the rest of the world. A place he couldn't even begin to think how he could possibly go back to.. His family and his life as a prince.. The prince of the Balance Element... But most painful of all... How his family was taken from him by a tyrannical leader of Chaos... As unexpected as these memories were.. It made him realize... There was more to his life than this theater.. there was more than just Wonderworld. There was a world that was waiting for him.. a world that needed him... but he had no clue how to get back... But... he had to try.

This would begin a new chapter in the life of the Maestro of Mystery. The beginning of his search for his old home. But not only that... He wanted to save Lance... If Lance was the one who hid away the dark memories of others, he must have hidden Balan's aswell. If these memories were returned to him, Lance but still be there somewhere! The real Lance! If theres a possibility that Balan can find his own home, there's a possibility he can save Lance aswell! There just has to be a way. And Balan will find that out... And thus would begin Balan's new adventure. His quest to find his new home, and to save Lance from the forces of the Negati. Of course, this meant he would have to explore from outside his theater, in which he's not very used to or dressed for.. But he doesn't really have any other outfits.. But perhaps removing a few layers will be enough. And so he did just that. Perhaps he wasnt much of a Maestro of Mystery anymore.. but a Healer of Hearts. Healing the hearts of others along the way of his new journey.

Shadow In The Mirror

A little one shot that I've added with interactions with Leo and Vincent and how they met, it's not in the chapters order but something I just wrote for the fun of it.

After some time in the Clocktower Kid’s stage, Leo went inside one of the clock towers. Inside, there were mechanical parts of a clock, but some had mirrors in various corners.

Leo knew immediately what to do after visiting Madam in the Mansions stage, but before he could steel himself from the mirror, he saw his reflection. It started to deform into another reflection. He saw an unfamiliar form, it was a form just like balan’s but… much different, until he started to recognize it.

Memory Theif—!

“You—!” Leo pointed at the reflection “You're the one that Balan was talking about..”

“Ah, Balan too?” Memory Thief gasped in mock fright, “Correct, correct, but such a shame! I thought we were on the same team, why put me on blame?”

“You're the one who is stealing all of the memories! And you're also using Detective as well! Let her go this instant!” Leo protested.

Memory Thief formed in another mirror, “Goodness, there is not much that you understand. But do trust me, Detective is in safe hands!” 

Well that didn’t help, It felt like he was hiding something…

“I don’t believe you…” Leo said in disbelief.

Before Leo could protest back, Memory Thief's reflection disappeared as his chuckle echoed in the Clocktower inside.

“Now don’t go underestimating me, Leo. While we both know that Wonderworld is in danger, you should know that I’m not some sort of stranger.” 

His shadow was now forming around the walls, circling  menacingly inside the Clocktower. Leo, terrified of what he was seeing crouched down to the ground, not knowing what to do.

“The fragmented hearts in what you seek, are as easy as taking a peek. I seek no vengeance or take anything for pleasure. Memories are just like treasure; seeds in a garden if you will."

Leo was frightened and confused what did he mean seeds in a garden? He also felt something in his heart.... something.....

"The seeds in a garden, they've all been sown and watered. In the end they've bloomed in a flower, so elegant and foreshortened. It's like harvesting balance, give it some patience and a chance."

The words, they were so nonsensical to him, they almost sounded like poetry, a lullaby. It made Leo’s heart for some reason feel very warm as if he needed to hear that, he didn’t feel fearful anymore. But he resented the feeling, as if something was holding him back from feeling this way. 

Memory Thief picked up this feeling, “But you.. my boy, you have doubt do you…?” He formed back into the reflection in the mirror, with some softness in his voice.

“What…?”

“You doubt yourself, your friends, this doubt is pulling you further and further. Trapping and spiraling youself into dancing as it seems an eternity. No care in the world, but just you and dancing cheerlessly..” The Theif said nonchalantly, yet with some softness in his voice.

“How did you know this..?!” 

“Hehe~, well they don’t call me a Memory Thief for nothing~!” He said with a wink, he was just as annoying as Balan, a little wiser as well.

He twirled around a drop like a coin, reflecting Leo’s memory, one where he had an argument with his friends.

“Hey that’s—!” Leo gasped and pointed out. 

“Ah, ah, ah!” He caught the drop midair and magically put it in his pocket, “Now before you go grabbing your dirty hands into this, I have put this into good use! Drops are not something to be meddled with, and I will tell you more in a bit if you find clues!~” He said playfully, as if it was some kind of game. 

"You jerk! Give that back-!"

He was giggling in a childish manner as if gesturing, catch me if you can!

Leo, with annoyance, tried to run and catch the Thief before the mirror he ran into morphed as he entered into another room in the Clocktower.

“Hehe~! Good luck, dear flower!” The Thief echoed in the room.

Leo was blinded by confusion and frustration as the man just disappeared out of the blue in the mirror, he processed on what that thief was just saying.. seeds in a garden? Growing into a flower? Now what did he mean by that... that man was more mysterious to uncover than anything.

As much as Leo found him menacing and annoying, Leo thought the other part that he struggled, and took it as words of advice as he moved on with his journey to save Clocktower Kid, letting it burn in his mind as he moved on.
