Just an old story I did long ago that I didn't finish. I am planning to finish it later.


In the year 2025, music was at it's knees. The former bands that were created back from 1999 and further were drowning in modern music which contained high teen society. However, out of all the bands from the beginning of the 21st century, one singing sensation is still loved by fans despite the downgrading of music.

It was one winter night when the temperature was breezy and some snow was outside still sprinkling down. A Papillon dog with white and light brown fur was driving up an incredibly long forest trail in a BMW while listening to a radio show about the fall of music. A couple of minutes later, he reached up the trail to a big mansion covered with a moat and dark forests surrounding it. The BMW parked on the silver driveway and the Papillon got out and walked inside. The mansion was in fact very nicely made for an economy taking a struggle. The ground floor was a long hall that had many portraits of the owner, Mr. Bieber, who owned the Bieber Manor. The Papillon took a walk up the stairs and headed into the Library where a Zora in a sexy French maid's outfit was cleaning up the books and cleaning out the trash.

"Is everything ready for our guests Julita?" The dog asked.

"Yes sir, everything is nearly complete after I take this trash out." Julita replied, lifting the trash bag, then excusing herself downstairs to go outside.

The Papillon dog then went downstairs and heard the TV in the kitchen playing Japanese Anime and heard the cook sharpening her Yoshi Blades, preparing for dinner as he walked in the white tiled kitchen.

"Is everything alright, Ms. Izumi?" He asked, when suddenly Ms. Izumi turned around with the blade in her hand with a blank look and her green hair spiked up.

"Hai, Dinner will be ready at 19:00" She replied, then turned around and continued watching Anime as she began to chop some onions. Suddenly, the door bell rang, and the dog walked to the door and opened it. A muscular tiger was at the door in a purple suit, holding a letter in his hand.

"Good evening sir! We've been expecting you! Mr. Nick is it?" The dog asked.

"Actually my name is-"

"Oh dear me sir, I must interrupt you there, the guests here will have different names tonight. It is for privacy issues, some will be announced in their first name, some of them in their last, please follow me." He said as he began to turn around and walked inside the hall with Mr. Nick following closely behind him.

"Also, the living room is being renovated, so please do not enter there. You may feel free to go in the Rec Room or go upstairs to the Library and have a drink." The dog said turning around once more.

"Wait a minute, are you Mr. Bieber? This letter says that I will be seeing him tonight." Mr. Nick said.

"Oh, absolutely not, I'm his bodyguard and close friend, Mr. James Martin. Why don't you go upstairs and have a drink?" He said when the doorbell rang again.

"Ah yes, thank you, I haven't had a drink all day." Mr. Nick replied before going upstairs. James went to the door and opened it, finding a red fox with a silk red coat and glasses reading her letter.

"Why hello madam, I'm sure you have been expecting this party!" James replied with a nice smile.

"I'm sorry sir, but do you know who I am?" Said the fox with a concerned tone.

"Only to let you and your guests be known as Ms. Shiki." James said.

"Why yes, have we met before?" Ms. Shiki replied.

"No ma'am, but our host said you was being expected here tonight. May I take your coat?" James replied. Ms. Shiki nodded and took off her coat while the red silk coat gleamed revealing a red skirt and top.

"Feel free to go upstairs and have a drink. We already have a guest up there." James said pointing upstairs. Ms. Shiki went up the stairs and heard some sweet music playing in the Library. She saw Julita, and flinched for a second and saw Mr. Nick having a Millennial Fair, and exchanged hellos to each other before the doorbell rang again. This time, two people were at the door. A brown Bunny in a white dress and a blue Dragon in a light blue dress and golden jewels.

"Why hello there! You two must be Ms. Crystalheart and Ms. Kadmiel! Please do come in, it is far too cold out here for you two in those beautiful dresses!" James said, leading the way inside the warm house.

"Why thank you very much!" They both replied, as they looked inside the big hallway.

"Wow! This place is very nice! Looks expensive!" Ms. Kadmiel replied being very impressed.

"Yes, the host is actually the most biggest musical sensation as of now! Please go on upstairs and have a drink. Just follow the music and you'll find the Library." James said pointing up the stairs. The two women giggled and went upstairs eager for some wine.

However, about a mile from the mansion, a fox with purple fur and long light blue Anime hair was whimpering and whining about the engine freezing in his car, and was outside trying to fix it. Another car suddenly came by and stopped. The fox then turned around at the window.

"Need a lift sir?" The voice asked looking at the fox that was wearing a purple jacket, still looking at the engine.

"Yes, thank you very much!" The fox said as he opened the door to find a dalmation in the driver's seat. His fur was spotted black with his shiny white coat. His clothes were actually very tight which made the fox blush slightly.

"So where you heading?" The dog asked with a cool smile as his long black hair waved behind him. The fox then showed him the letter.

"It says for me to head up to the Bieber Manor. I think it's just a mile or two away from here." The fox said. Suddenly the driver pulled out a letter of his own and compared the two.

"Hey wait a minute... That's where I'm going too!" He said with a shocked look. He then looked at the fox who was looking at him and blushed a little at the tight purple jacket, then turned around and started driving up the road. Back at the mansion, the other guests were chugging down on some wine, while James was explaining about the different types of wine, when the door bell rang. James opened the door to find the two males with snow in their hair.

"Why Mr. Chihaku and Mr. Rose, I did not know you two were acquainted!" James said with a small shock.

"Oh no no no! His engine froze, so he needed a ride here." Mr. Rose said with a small blush.

"Oh, very well then. Come on in and have a drink! Dinner will be ready in a few minutes." James said leading upstairs to the Library where everyone but the cook downstairs was having a drink. "Ladies and Gentlemen, everyone has arrived. Feel free to enjoy the Rec Room or a few more drinks. Dinner will be ready in a few minutes, but please do not enter the Living Room yet, because renovations are still being done there." James said before leaving. The 6 guests looked at each other, not knowing how to break the ice.

"Well, I guess I'll have some Long Island Iced Tea." Mr. Rose said heading for the counter.

"So do I, that'll be great!" Mr. Chihaku said, following Mr. Rose. Julita smiled as she made two drinks for the two furs. "Enjoy!" She said with a white smile.

After a few minutes, the party began to grow. Ms. Crystalheart and Mr. Nick were in the Rec Room playing billiards while Mr. Chihaku and Mr. Rose danced to the upbeat music in the Library with Ms. Kadmiel, Ms. Shiki, and Julita cheered on. Suddenly, a ding noise played.

"Attention, dinner is now ready to be served! Please come to the Dining Room!" Ms. Izumi announced. The partygoers went inside the dinning room, which had gold and silver candles, a white tablecloth, and crystal glasses.

"Where's the host James? It's rude to not announce himself to the party." Ms. Shiki said.

"No worries, Mr. Bieber will be here soon enough. Please just have a seat." James said. Mr. Chihaku, Mr. Rose, and Ms. Shiki took one side of the table, while Ms. Crystalheart, Ms. Kadmiel, and Mr. Nick too another side, while James sat at the end of the table, leaving the head of the dinner table the only empty chair of the table. Julita came out with plates of Sesame Chicken, Melonpan, and Dango. She served them to all the guests and hurried back into the Kitchen. The Dining Room was very quiet except for the chopsticks making noise. Mr. Chihaku and Mr. Rose were chowing down on the food as if it was made of gold. The other guests and even James looked at the two with their mouths open.

"Is there any more?" Mr. Chihaku asked. Suddenly Julita came back in with a plate of Teriyaki Fries and a Teriyaki Burger.

"Thank you very much! I just adore Japanese Food!" Mr. Chihaku said before taking a big bite into the burger.

"Well James, I'm getting tired of waiting! Where is our host?" Ms. Shiki said in a non-playful tone. Suddenly the door bell rang, and James got up to the door.

"Why hello sir! The guests are all here!" James said and locked the door.

"Wait, did you lock me in? Give me the key right now!" The guest said.

"Hahaha over my dead body sir." James said with a snickering playful tone. He then entered the Dining Room where the guests looked at him.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome Mr. Bieber." James said as another Papillon dog entered. He looked like James, except that his fur was dark brown. The guests looked in a blank stare.

"What are these people doing here?" Mr. Bieber said with an evil look.

"Just having dinner, like you invited them. Just sit down and eat." James said as Julita came in with a plate.

"You can take that back Julita, I just ate." Mr. Bieber said with a grin.

"Now how did you know her?" Mr. Nick said in a suspicious tone.

"Oh, we go way back, don't we?" He said trying to reach for her side, but Julita took a couple steps away. For a few moments, it was quiet, until Ms. Crystalheart broke the ice.

"OK! Now, what is going on, why have we been dragged all the way up here!?" She said banging the table.

"Well since you asked, I assume that everyone has received a letter telling them to come here." James said as he pulled out a letter and opened it up.

"According to this letter it says...

On the Night of December 26, 2025, you have been invited to a guest party.

One of the occasions is a special mystery, and another is something about you.

If you want to find out, be here at 6:30pm to find out what the party is for you.

It is signed, an employee of the Bieber Manor." He reads.

"I received a similar letter." Ms. Kadmiel says.

"So did I!" Ms. Crystalheart agrees.

"Me too!" Mr. Nick replies.

"I also got a letter." Said Mr. Bieber.

"Was it similar to these letters?" James asks.

"Actually, no, it was very different." Mr. Bieber states. A few more moments of silence pass by.

"Well is anyone interested in dessert?" James asks. Everyone stays quiet, and moves their plate.

"Well in that case, let's go to the Living Room now. I'm sure our host will be there with us." He says, then walks towards the living room. The guests follow him into the Living Room. It was all white, with a 6 ft by 4 foot plasma TV, a small fountain, and a free table of Cookies and Wine, but it was empty.

"Well there's no one here..." Mr. Nick explained.

"Just sit down, and feel free for some wine or cookies." James says, while heading to the front desk to find an envelope that says:

TO: JAMES MARTIN

OPEN AFTER DINNER!!!
