118 - The Mysterious Event

As we headed back to the hotel entrance, our path was blocked by one of the strong black leopards. "Excuse me!?" Lace said loudly, trying to shove past the leopard. He didn't move, like an iron strong statue. "You can't come in. An important event is going on inside," he said with a frown. "Important event? I never heard of one. I always get informed about stuff like that..." Lace said, tilting her head in confusion. "Oh, little penguin, you can't know everything. Some very important people are in there," the leopard replied calmly. "What? How do you know? How do I know? Let us through!" Lace squealed, barreling into the leopard and doing no damage, just stumbling backwards and standing back beside Lime and I. "Is there a password or something?" I asked, trying to find a way back into the hotel. "Password? No! Of course not!" The black leopard cackled. "Just an event. And plushies like you aren't allowed in." Lace frowned. "Why not?" she said angrily. "Their room is in that hotel!" The black leopard shrugged. "Too bad. Like I said, there is an important event in there with important people, and you're not allowed in." Lace looked flustered. She opened her beak and then closed it quickly. Lime glanced at me and I looked back at her. 
                                                          Something was going on.
                                                         Something not right.
