Final Preparations

In the SWORD headquarters, the Director knew Norman's every action. He knew everything Norman bought. So he had an idea of what Norman was planning to do in this trip.

'Dammit, first he ruins my reputation and now he's about to get a hot chick...'

Although the Director was a bit jealous, he didn't let his mood affect his job after all he was a professional.

The Director even knew about Norman's supposed secret weapon. But he didn't have complete information about it as the people he sent never came back.

'Those people weren't that experienced, Nunu must've spotted them and took them out... Useless! Now I don't have complete information.'

The Director was never satisfied unless he had complete information and complete control of the situation.

'Anyways considering that it was made by that bastard, it must have been very crappy...'

That day the Director had a great idea. Maybe because he was influenced by Nunu but he decided to do something daring.

He had planted a camera in Black With-Dough's room and at night he was sitting in front of his computer with his eyes burning with *passion*. He kept a box of tissues by his side and stared at the screen in front of him expectantly.

'I've been working so hard because of Nunu these past few days. I definitely deserve some rewards for my eyes...'

He waited and waited but nobody was coming in. Suddenly, the laptop on the table magically opened up in her room. On the screen of the laptop, there was a hand. It was Black With-Dough's hand. But the hand was not in a normal position... The hand was showing him a middle finger.

The Director got a very bad feeling. He swiftly zipped his pants and was about to hide the tissue box when the door opened.

Standing there was Black With-Dough with a very scary smile on her face...

That night many miserable shrieks were heard from the Director's office. The people working in the night shift confirmed their suspicions of the director being gay again, assuming he was watching *those* videos again.

The next day, Norman was very excited but at the same time very nervous. He had gone through his plan a million times in his head.

'Nothing should go wrong...'

He had considered how much luggage should he keep, and finally decided to just keep one bag after all.

A while later, he arrived at the meeting spot they decided the previous day. Shortly, Sophia arrived as well. Just as she was about to say hi, she saw his bag and was totally flabbergasted.

How wouldn't she be surprised, even other bystanders by the road were whispering and pointing towards his bag. It was just a normal looking bag... Just a bit bigger. And by big, I mean like a 10 meter big bag...

What did he keep in such a big bag? Well, did you forget all his condoms? But worry not, he didn't keep all the condoms, only the first 2-3 meters contained condoms, as for the other parts...

He had really been preparing extensively for this trip. The other parts of the bag contained all his other preparations.

A few days ago, he cleared out all the flowers in the area just as he had to the condoms in a similar fashion.

All those flowers took up the next few meters of the bag. As for the last few meters... A gift filled that part.

As he found out that Sophia loved teddy bears, he went to all the nearby cities to look for the best and biggest teddy bear he could find. It could even say I love you. And this teddy bear took the last 5 meters of his bag.

After getting over the shock that was Norman's bag, Sophia became normal again and they boarded the bus.

Once they reached the place, they checked into the hotel and went into their resective rooms. Although, Sophia kept turning to glance in the direction of his room before finally closing the door of her room.

Once Norman was inside, he started to prepare for his plan. He had 2 hours, after that he was supposed to meetup with Sophia and head to the waterfall.

He sneaked out of his room and went to the top waterfall. He scouted all good spots for stargazing, bought tents and began looking around. He found a cliff which faced away from the city.

He started testing his plan before he took action on the final day. He took out the flowers and the teddy bear and started arranging them.

After an hour of trial and error, he was finally pleased with the way things looked. Now, if you looked down from the cliff, you would be able to see the words 'Would you go out with me?' written with flowers, and a big teddy bear in the center of it all.

After confirming that it looked good, he cleaned up all the mess, and left it in another bag nearby so that he could set it up again on the last day.

His bag was now a lot emptier than before. As he made his way back to the hotel, he couldn't help but sigh at all his efforts in the past week.

He thought about the time when he went to buy his clothes for the trip.

He couldn't decide what style he should go with. He first tried a full pink getup, which looked very flirtatious. It even included a pink hat. But it didn't go well as everyone was staring at him with strange expressions.

Then he picked another outfit and after changing into it, he turned around and was scared out of his wits. Behind him was a man wearing an extremely gaudy outfit, it was red and sparkly. In addition to his bright, sparkling blue mask he looked absolutely terrifying.

And that's when Norman realized that he was looking at a mirror and that terrifying person was him. He seemed a bit depressed as he came to terms with his rubbish fashion sense. Finally, he just asked for the shopkeepers recommendation after he explained his situation. Then he received an outfit that didn't look terrifying and suited him perfectly.

Norman couldn't help but think that whenever he buys things, somehow he just manages to attract stares from the surrounding people.

'I'm just naturally talented at being too brilliant, wherever I go people stop to admire me...'

Sighing at his outstandingness, he went back to the hotel.

He told the chefs in the hotel to prepare a grand cuisine for them. And told the manager to prepare a room to have a candlelight dinner in.

After all this, his preparations were finally complete.

'And then for the maximum impact, there is my secret weapon as well...'

What is his secret weapon? It is... A song!

Written and composed by our Norman himself!

Yes! This was the secret weapon that the Director didn't have complete information about. It wasn't a weapon related to fighting. It was a weapon to win hearts! The Director was already impressed by Norman's skills and preparations in this area, so he was really regretful to miss out on something as important as a secret weapon. Who knows maybe he'll have to use these techniques in the future...

Although he faced a few problems while writing the lyrics, Norman was quite content with the final product. And with the help of his melodious singing skills, the song could provoke different feelings within the listeners!
