As the gateway to Bob's genetic greatness opened, Sally also had been busy assessing her list of potential 'The One' candidates… and as the calendar pages riffled and jived, in no time at all, the World Ball had finally arrived!!!
___
Elegans Castle was a breathtaking piece of history, with over 10000 years of tradition and maintained and lovingly enhanced by the greatest advances in modern architecture, giving it the look and aura of something straight out of a Disnéy (as always, pronounced (Dis-nei) movie.
The castle was surrounded by pristine gardens composed of marvellously manicured hedges, flourishing flora and fauna of all kinds blooming with breathtaking beauty - as the event had been meticulously planned to coincide with when the garden was at it's peak season - alongside quaint courtyards, leafy lookouts furnished with majestic shady trees, fountains, resting areas and luxurious amenities, where one could take in the scenic views and atmosphere of the surrounding nature whilst coddled in the laps of both luxuries and lovers...
In the morning, the sun lit up the special space, giving it an earthy return-to-nature radiance.
As the sun set, casting its warm rays across the land, the estate would be ensconced in an ethereal elegance of fiery fantasy.
And as night fell, the magical fairy lights would come on, transforming the terrain into a star-studded wonderland...
Whilst the official event would start at 6pm, the guests would arrive earlier at around 11am to prepare beforehand with the official "World Ball" part of the program scheduled as the highlight of the day.

Welcome to the World Ball!!! As 6pm arrived, these words appeared in the night sky via drone and projection technology, alongside a magical fireworks display signalling the kickoff of the event!
And now, the World Ball attendees arrived!
As the event kicked off, one could see Horse-Drawn Carriages straight out of Cinderellá, Beefoghini's, Rolls of Royce (also known as Sushi), Helicopters, Private Yachts, Private Jets, Submarines, Hot Air Balloons, you name it, it was there, with the esteemed guests making their entrance in style, alongside entourages of media and broadcasting crews, among them Georgé Lazer, who had been catapulted into journalist stardom after his "Valentine O Valentine" poem had gone viral.
There were only 100 invites out of the world's population of billions, a testament to the sheer exclusivity of the event, where each place was estimated to be worth $1 million for admission alone, sponsored by brands and alliances that backed their respective attendees.
Whilst the main aim of the Ball was to socialize and make connections, of course there was a theme, which was decided annually. For this year, due to the viral video, Valentine had been asked to express his views, and in fact, a big part of the event would be an invitation for all the wealthy elite attendees and socialites to invest in the "Future of Humanity" Project.
The event would begin with a dinner, and then entertainment followed by dancing and socializing, with some addresses inbetween courses and the different parts of the evening.
As the event kicked off, Elon Busk, Jeff Mezos, Beel Gaytes, who had been rizzed by Valentine, all alternated in giving a few short words of address: in short, the attendees were all given the exclusive opportunity to be the very first in the world to access the "Future of Humanity" Project!!! ... Of course, there would be a... minimal investment in order to obtain the most benefits!
To add to the excitement, a kind of charity auction also took place with various items and perks raffled off, allowing Valentine's Future of Humanity Project further to secure even more future funding.

Ice Queen Sally had dazzled as per usual, dressed in her Ice Queenly best, driving all the eligible men and even the ineligible ones dogged with desperation.
The aim of the Ball was for the elites to make and foster further connections.... and certain men also intended to make these 'connections' in more ways than one with the one and only Ice Queen Sally...
Silkius Smoothius. Meatius Maximus. Arroe Gance. Directus Approachus. Obsesswyth Sniffing. These were just but some of the crazed case-studies, culprits of their c*m-fuelled conniving, and also - unfortunately for Sally - attendees of the World Ball.
As the classical music played, the ballroom of the Elegans Estate was now aglow in radiant splendour.
Directus Approachus, from Cuttothe Chase, and true to his name, was the first to make his move.
"Sally! You're hot. I'm hot. Shall we make love on the spot?" (Note: This wasn't actually what he said, but original words cannot be posted due to the sheer crudeness and lack of any social awareness whatever, so we have to make do with the 'PG' version...)
No!!!!!!!!!! Just no!!!!!!!!! Sally inwardly just could not. Perhaps once upon a time, she might not have realised the true extent of the 'eww', and the utter catastrophe of the cringe, but after experiencing Bob's magical Rizz as Allie, her Anti-Rizz Index had exponentially increased, as she now realised just exactly how poor her options and experiences truly were.
Just before she could douse his flames with a cold shower (sadly, not the kind he was hoping for...)
Arroe Gance of the Sneering Dominion jumped in.
"How dare you!!! You think you're worthy?!" He sneered.
"Sally… everyone else here is trash, but you alone are worthy to give me a massage…"
Arroe thought he had taken the initiative, and was reaching for Sally's hands, when Meatius Maximus of the Jim Jun Ki Clan chimed in.
"Massage?!?!" He snorted. "The only massaging you're gonna get is the 'mass'-'aging' from being pummelled by my fists!!!!!"
The three immediately went at it, engaging in a three-way struggle for dominance, whilst Sally managed to 'Misty Step' away in the mayhem without having to resort to ice-shattering violence.
Meanwhile, Silkius Smoothius from the Pan-Tene Empire had also shampoo-ed and blow-dried himself for the occasion, and was now pompously shaking out his hair like a dog shaking water off his back every few seconds whilst making weird "brrrrrrrr" noises to 'loosen his lips', whilst Obseswyth Sniffing too from the Perversity Peninsula, as per his... preferences, was now prancing around, nose up in the air, hands behind his back, adopting the pseudo-air of 'a gentleman and a scholar', his sole purpose and aim for the evening - to snort Sally's scent.
As the fates would have it, it just so happened that these two unique individuals in Silkius and Obseswyth happened to bump into each other...
Obseswyth by reflex immediately could not control his human urges and immediately, seeing blonde hair and thinking that this must be a divine beauty, seized Silkius Smoothius by the hair and started sniffing it in great tufts and wufts.
Silkius Smoothius for his part suddenly felt the follicles on his scalp receive an incredible stimulation and arduous, obsessive attention, which… made him feel things.
One thing led to another, and they soon found, through their tacitly consensual mutual fetishizing, that they were now hidden away in a corner, one grasping and sniffing the other's luscious locks, whilst the other arched, bent... and nearly broke his back in the mountainous pleasures of the sensations, all thoughts of Sally temporarily forgotten...
Cursed. Cursed and Doomed. Witnessing this breathtaking barrage of brawn and badness, Sally put her hands to her temples in order to try to cope, and hopefully dispel the waves of nope.
But then…!!! just as Sally was about to give up hope…
He arrived.
