((Agh sorry I kinda feel asleep there.))
Pen nodded being told what her job would be and the genres of the twins. She still thought it was still awkward though since she never met the kids. Oh why would they expect a gift from Pen.
"You can count on us then."

Luciano nodded at Pen, then he responded to Waffle, "It's not going to be ridiculously crowded- it's going to be taking place in one of Durem's famous Hotels. We've got the entire place rented out, that way we don't get any unwanted guests, or the visitors coming in to complain." he looked over at Pen and gave her the map of the Hotel, "Look it over. I'll trust you with security. . make sure it's tight- nobody goes in, and nobody comes out."
He sighed and then he looked through the papers again, ". . . Y'know, sometimes I'm unsure if the Twins even know these guests or if Edward and Vivian just want to seem important. This is an entire guest list of Celebrities, and then there's us on the list."

Sabe raised his eyebrow at the statement about the guest list. "All of them are celebrities besides us? Don't they have any....normal friends?" he asked. The only thing that remark earned him was a hard nudge from Waffle, but he brushed it off and quickly turned to her. "What, Waffle? I'm completely serious!"

Luciano shrugged at Sabe's question, he replied, "I'm not sure, to be honest. I don't know who their friends are, all I know is: They have friends."

"Oh. I see." Sabe replied.
"What time does it start, again?" Waffle asked. I don't recall hearing about the times or anything like that.

"Well," Luciano began, "Guests are supposed to arrive at 6:00pm, and the party starts a 7:00pm." he said. He buried himself back into the papers his family had stuck him with. Michelle picked up one of the papers and she said, ". . . This is going to be a seriously expensive party. All of this champagne, Wine, orderves, food, plus the entire Hotel is going to be rented out so that it's just the party." Luciano sighed and he said, "Don't I know it. . my family is wealthy, but we also know money doesn't grow on trees. This is alot. Vivian and Edward should know that."
((By the way, the answer to my little mini trivia question was "Pretty Woman", the characters Edward Lewis and Vivian were played by Richard Gere and Julia Roberts.))

"Ah real fancy eh mate? hope we haven't been barred from this one already" said jim, sitting next to a napping Rikki on the sofa.
"No I checked, without Luc here, they would have never let us in anyway" said Skotti.
"Real black tie affair then, eh? suspenders and tuxes and all that rot?" he asked, a sly smile on his face.

(( I couldn't get the reference if I tried. ))
Waffle nodded and the two made a mental note to not get involved in anything time-consuming before then.

Luciano nodded and said to Jim, "Yeah. They've a dress code. . The twins wouldn't mind if you came. . . dressed in. . . that. . .- but anyway, the Hotel insists that we dress up for the occasion. Not just the Hotel but the Twins' parents as well."

Waffle tried not to raise an eyebrow at the mentioning of a dress code. "What I normally wear is fine. Nobody else ever calls me out on it." she mumbled in her breath as she walked back up the stairs with Sabe. "Waffle, that's cause the only formal events you've ever been to were back at home where people could be killed if they disagreed with you in the slightest. Grow up, quit whining, and just pick out something different for once."
"But I hate dresses!" Waffle whined as they entered their room.

As Luc went on talking about formal wear Pen went over the floor plan carefully. It would take the entire B team to cover all the entrances and exits at least. Then there would have to be some roaming the floors as well to keep things calm. She seem lost in thought until she heard that hosts would insist on everyone dressing up. Pen not being the most girly figure of the group was hoping for a more causal event. "Everyone?" She asked hestaintly knowing full well if she would be anyway mingling that did mean her.

Luciano sighed, he said to everyone who could hear him, "Yes! EVERYONE needs to dress up- Come on, it's my cousins' birthdays tomorrow. It's being thrown at a very fancy place, and I'd like for EVERYONE to at least be presentable for it. It's an important day to my family, and for their parents."
Saturday.
Luciano and Michelle were up early, he was making phone calls and she was making sure each order of food came in on time. Luciano called up another wave of security, because the hotel was a pretty big place. He even called up everyone in his family to make sure things were in their proper order.

Waffle and Sabe were awake much later in the morning, but they had their outfits planned in advance. It was going to be business as usual for the two until about 4:00 PM

Pen was mulling over the hotel map. With the addition of Brozen relatives to the security detail there were enough to man each exit and entrance. There were shift plans were those on the floor exchanged position with those at the doors. The B team of course didn't need or socialize but it was only fair that those who were related to the guests of honor have a chance to be part of the festivities.
"Well with a couple more headsets and earpieces that should cover it." Pen quietly announced to herself, tired from the drills she had been running with the B team for the last few days.
"One thing left. The dress...." She uttered in despair as she sunk back into the lobby couch; the plan and schedules arranged over the coffee table.

Luciano finally got off the phone with everyone that needed to be spoken to, then he made himself, and Michelle, a small breakfast.
While they ate, Luciano was going over the rest of the guest list. He hated how there was going to be so many people there "Viv and Eddie couldn't just invite a select few individuals? I mean, did it have to be some red carpet thing?" he said to Michelle, while he was looking at the list. Michelle shrugged and took some scrambled eggs on her fork, she replied, "Someday we're both going to do the same thing for our kids. Wouldn't you do something like this for them, too?" Luciano paused and then he looked up at her, "Um. No?- Michelle, this s**t is costing the family 1.5 Million, here. The celebrities that are going to be there are very picky eaters."
"Okay, and?"
"'And' because of their picky eating habits, it's costing us a lot of money to keep them happy. Vivian and Eddie barely even work."
"I thought they were lawyers, or ******** if I know- nobody knows what they do anymore."
Michelle shrugged again and ate more eggs. She took one of the papers and she said, "And they don't have any hand in the Mineral Refinery business anymore?" Luciano shook his head, "They never have. Yet they still take money from what is earned. Money that they, themselves, never earned." Michelle smiled and shook her head.
