Everyone around her was pointing fingers at others (or themselves in the case of JakkI) on who should be to blame for their tardiness, but that didn't help Abby at all with seeing the stage. She considered jumping onto someone's back to get a better look when she heard the performance about to begin. The blond stood on her tiptoes before giving up halfway through the show. The magic was cool but she was getting put off by Prospero's gaudy outfit. That and she couldn't really see the show to begin with. After fuming for another half hour, Abby heard Prospero announce his final performance. [i]Finally, I want to leave...[/i] Her thoughts were cut off when the crowd around her suddenly disappeared, leaving only her friends, some chick and a random guy standing in an empty audience pit. Prospero began to address Naoto by his "title", asking if he enjoyed the performance but Abby paid no mind as her brain just exploded at how awesome that trick was. Where the hell was everyone? Was it really magic?!

Daisuke's loud shout next to her shook the bedazzlement out of Abby's head and she glanced to see what he was yelling about. In the Thunder Guardian's clutches was the random guy she saw earlier. She tilted her head in confusion while inspecting his attire, instantly recognizing the meme on his shirt. Something didn't seem right and it wasn't that guy's poor fashion sense. Abby turned to the other newcomer, a girl standing a few feet away. Her brain racked the nagging feeling she had as Prospero and Naoto were conversing. Finally, it clicked.

"Didn't he say everyone disappear except 'mafia'?" Abby deduced slowly while pointing at Prospero, not so sure herself where she was going with this, "If that's the case.... Did we already get accepted into the Vongola?"

Sonya silently watched the scene unfold from on top one of the many buildings surrounding the make-shift theater. She had been there since the beginning of Prospero's show, already exasperated by the future 11 Generation guardians' late arrival. However, she wasn't here to watch them. Her focus today was on the magician prodigy standing on stage. He was already showing a lot of promise, especially regarding his designated Flame. She was curious to see what this boy would do since she herself didn't know who had brought him here. All she knew that he was coming and that he was the Mist Guardian candidate. But how he knew of the Vongola and who had informed him about them was a mystery to her; a mystery she didn't enjoy not solving. 

And if that wasn't enough, the appearance of two newcomers was unsettling. There was that boy Daisuke was shouting to and a girl. They had to be mafia, but from what familgia? And were they friend or foe? Sonya secretly hoped they were foe. It would be a good learning experience for the candidates to face against someone who actually wanted them dead. It was also a great time to see how well they fought together if their attitudes would allow them to even try that newfangled invention called 'teamwork'.
