"Brother Landon... Brother Landon..... wake up... wake up!"

Right now, Little Linda and little Momo were standing beside Landon's king-sized bed, trying their best to 'wake' Landon up.

But sadly, nothing seemed to work.

Linda had turned 12 this summer, while Momo would be turning 11 on December 18th instead.

They both thought that since they were now older and stronger, they could now team up and carry Landon off his bed.

But sadly, they were wrong.

Because no matter how hard they tried, Landon still slept peacefully with a slight smile on his face.

"Momo.... if elder brother Landon doesn't wake up now, we're going to miss today's event!"

"Ahhh!

Why is elder brother so tired?

Elder bro... wake up, wake up!"

Landon who had only been pretending to sleep, smiled broadly and finally decided to open his eyes.

Yup!

No matter how fast they grew, these 2 kids still acted like it was a Christmas morning.... every time he promised to take them somewhere.

When they were younger, they used to jump on his bed nonstop or forcefully open his eyelids instead.

But now, of course they had grown older.

So the way they woke up him also changed as well over the years.

Little Linda was now 12.... which was the time when she began noticing the changes between men and women.

So she would never jump on Landon's bed again.... but, since she sincerely took Landon as an older brother, she still bothered him whenever she went to wake him up in the mornings.

The same thing could be said for little Momo.

Even though he was 1 year younger than Linda, he too began understanding the differences between men and women.

For starters, he had a massive crush on Linda.... and would find himself going along with whatever she said all the time.

Normally, within the Pyno continent.... buys at his age already had fiancees.

But in Baymard, people preferred to first know their partners, as well as access their characters before they engaged them.... which he totally agreed was for the best.

But while accessing, what should he do to stop himself from acting like a fool in front of her?

Plus Linda was a year older than him... would she be truly okay with that?

No!

He had to have a man-to-man talk with elder brother Landon later on.

"Momo.... why are you so silent?

Look! Look!

Elder brother Landon is finally up!

Now we will definitely make it on time!"

Once Landon was up, the duo didn't even wait for him to talk.... and quickly dragged him off the bed while saying 'good morning' over and over again.

And after making sure that he was finally awake, they ran away like crazy to the next victim's room or castle wing.

Landon smiled wryly and immediately hopped into his bathroom.

Likewise, the victims from Momo and Linda's morning assault also took their baths as well.

And after an hour and 48 minutes, everyone had now freshened up, as well as eaten their breakfasts too.

Now, it was time for them to set off!

And why were they all excited?

Of course, it was because they were going to the Landline Launch event.

After reading about it in the newspapers, as well as listening about it on the radios and seeing portraits of the many types from the Phone company magazines..... how could they not be excited?

They entered the royal Limousine and left the palace surrounded by 3 other security cars while making their way towards District D.

The cars were very bubbly, with everyone doing talking about the type of landline phone that they wanted.

"Little Linda.... pink is your favourite colour.

So do you want this thin pink phone?"

"Hmm... No...

From the catalogue, it says that the phone doesn't have the option of getting more than 2 people on a single call."

"Then let's keep looking, I'm sure that we can find other pink phones with what you're looking for."

"Little Momo... I just saw a superman phone here.

So do you want this one instead?

"Not superman!

If you can find Wolverine... then I'll get it."

"Wait!

Do they have a Barbie..."

"Shh!

Say no more..... of course they do!"

"_"

'Vrrrrrrrrmmmmmmm!'

The entourage steadily made their way towards District D excitedly through the busy traffic-congested roads.

The streets were jam-packed, with several cars all heading towards the same direction.

In fact, some people had even parked their cars in nearby parking lots..... and had preferred to walk or take a train instead, so as to make it to the launch event on time.

The entire region was swamped, busy and chaotic..... with everyone also talking about what they wanted to get as well.

After arriving at the venue, Landon and his crew stepped out from their Limousine while waving to those in the crowd.

They were currently standing before a 2-storey high ceiling building, which was also extremely wide.

The entire building looked like it was made with black glass Crystal's, and also gave off a 'classy' vibe to those who saw its structure.

And just in front of the building's main entrance door, was a massive red ribbon bow neatly decorated there.

Again, in front of the building..... a massive crowd had also gathered there as well.

Of course, seeing the massive red ribbon there, they all knew that someone had to cut the ribbon before they could enter the building.... so when they saw Landon and his family, they screamed and clapped excitedly.

It was almost 10 A.M... which was the launching time for the event.

So Landon, alongside Tim and others from the board of directors..... all stood close to each other while holding massive scissors close to the ribbon, and waited for the right time to take action.

As for the crowd, they all looked at their watches excitedly.

Many of them even started counting the seconds in their heads (as digital watches that showed seconds didn't exist yet.)

Some of them also began voicing out the tone instead, while watching the Landon and the rest hold their scissors tightly.

"Steady... steady..... steady... steady...."

"Now!!!!"

'Snip!'

'Woooooowwwwwww!'

'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'

"I now declare that the phone companies are now open for business!"

Woooooowwwwwww!'

'Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!'

'Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din! Din!'
