Return Of A Star

Chapter 21 - Preparing for a Role

When the two girls return home that evening, Li Hua was a little surprise that Li Ling didn't mention anything about the play. The only conclusion that Li Hua could come up with it is that Li Ling didn't want to risk gloating before she actually got the role. This result actually pleased Li Hua very much, for someone very egotistical like Li Ling, she can't stand not being in the spotlight.

Once the family was finished with dinner, Li Hua told her parents that she was going to bed early after she finished studying. Locking her door, Li Hua grabbed her script and then entered the 'Naline Space', and was welcomed by a hug from AI.

"My friend, you are back!" AI said with a bright smile and giving Li Hua a tight hug. Patting AI's head, "How have you been?" Li Hua asked.

Backing up a little, "I have been great, my friend. Everything has been amazing ever since you became my host." She said and then took Li Hua's hand and showed her the new area. "Look! This the 'Wonder Spa', it has appeared after all the points you have gathered." She said with pride.

Going inside, Li Hua had to give AI her props when naming this area, it looked simply wonderful. Not only did have huge outdoor hot spring, but there was also a building with a mystical beauty parlor. To finish the area had a nice sitting area with a mystical kitchen that could bring wonderful tea and cakes.

"AI, this place is truly amazing. You're saying all this appeared because I was able to conjure different feelings of love from those around me." Li Hua said looking at the swan's swim in the lake. "Yes! My friend, I told you before that love can do wonderful things and this area is just a beginning. The more love you receive, the bigger the 'Naline Space' will grow." AI said hopping around and chasing the birds.

Sitting down at the kitchen's dining area, "I see. Before I tell you why I came today, can you tell me more about the 'Wonder Spa', and how it can help me?" Li Hua asked just as a cup of tea appeared in front of her. AI stopped her pursuit of the birds and skipped toward Li Hua with flowers growing in her wake as she rushed to explain the new area.

"The 'Wonder Spa', is for your health and beauty. By soaking in the hot springs, it will help keep you looking youthful and also flush out any toxins in your body. The beauty parlor is to help you shine even more than you already do, the facials and massage will make you look from a princess to an immortal fairy. Now the kitchen is a little special, it can prepare different teas and cakes to help you in different situations. For instance, if you have a huge exam coming up it can make a tea to help boost your brainpower, but if you have fatigue it can give you a cake to pick up your mood." AI explained.

Sipping the tea, Li Hua calmly listened to AI explanation and thought this 'Wonder Spa', will be very beneficial to her in the future. Placing her cup down, "AI, this space is truly amazing, I'll definitely get more points so the 'Naline Space', can grow even bigger. Now, let's get to the reason why I came today, you see I have an audition coming up soon." Li Hua said.

Looking up at Li Hua, "An audition?" AI asked tilting her head. "That's right. I recently joined my school's drama club and I'll be auditioning for the play 'Sleeping Beauty'. Li Hua said with a smile.

AI stared at Li Hua for a while and still gave her friend a confused look, "I don't really understand but this play will make you happy, right?" AI asked.

Nodding her head, "That's right, I'll be even happier if I got the lead role." Li Hua said standing. "If this is the case, then I'll do whatever I can to help you, my friend," AI said with glee and excitement. Looking down at the adorable girl, "Thank you, AI. I was wondering if this space had the ability to help me with my acting skills?" Li Hua asked.

"You could always practice in the simulation room, I can program it so you could rehearse and prepare for your audition," AI explained. 'A simulation room now doesn't that sound interesting.' Li Hua thought with a smile.

After AI explained about the room, she then took Li Hua to the simulation room and explained how the room worked and that the time inside could be adjusted for optimum usage. Li Hua asked AI to set the room in the environment of 'Sleeping Beauty', but AI didn't understand the original story. Even when Li Hua tried to explain the story AI still couldn't get the full picture. Seeing that AI still didn't understand, Li Hua gave up on practicing tonight and told AI that she'll bring a book on 'Sleeping Beauty', so AI will get a better idea.

Giving AI a warm hug, Li Hua was shocked when she saw herself in the mirror. Her skin looked clearer than ever and even her eyes had a sparkle toward it, she couldn't believe that the tea she had in the 'Naline Space' could truly have such a great effect. Laying down on her bed, she looked over her script with a smile, only three days until the audition and Li Hua couldn't be happier.
