"No, that goes here." Bebe looked at a piece of paper and arranged the blue flower.
"Wait! Let me fluff out the lacing on it first!" Wendy fretted and ran the white cloth threw her fingers.
"You know, Butters isn't too bad of an artist."
"I told you it was a good idea to letting him draw out how Shay's outfit will be put together."
She smoothed out the blue dress and created a rectangle with her fingers, imidating a camera sound. Bebe slicked a fly away strand of Frost's hair and smiled with content.
"Kenny is in for a surprise."
"You know it. Now it's time to make her up."
"Do we have time?"
"We always have time."
Bebe took out her bag of cosmetics and dumped the entire contents out onto the floor. Colors ranging from light pink to dark purple and everything in between were out in the open ready to be chosen and used. She took up bright red lip stick and twisted the bottom so it was longer.
"Put your lips out a little, Shay."
She did as she was told and Bebe made her pale lips turn red like a fresh apple.
"Now rub them together so I can see if I missed a spot."
Wendy took out a dark pink blush from its case and puffed some on her cheeks while Bebe worked on the mascara. She delicately rolled it onto her eye lashes and was in full concentration as they became fuller. As Bebe did that, Wendy stroked some light blue eyeshadow onto Shay's eyelids. They then went to her nails and painted them a beautiful ice blue blowing on them so that they would dry faster. After they were finished, they stood back to look over their master piece.
"She's perfect."
"We did a good job." Bebe put her hands on her hips.
"We sure did, remind me to thank Butters when we get there."
"You got it, so should we get going?"
"We should, now that we're all dressed up."
They waltzed out of the house and down the street to the school. Kenny waited at Kyle's house dressed in his suit and looked to Cartman, who was pulling at his tie uncomfortabley.
"How long is he going to take? I swear he's like a girl sometimes."
"He'll be out soon." Kenny put his hands behind his head.
"Speak of the devil." Cartman yawned.
Kyle finally rushed down the stairs with a dark brown suit and his ginger hair smoothed down so that it didn't puff out as much. The three boys rushed out the door and ran down the sidewalk hoping that they weren't too late.
"Hey! Slow down! I can't run that fast!" Cartman whined.
"Come on Cartman pick up the pace!" Kyle shouted.
He mustered all his energy and raced after his two friends, trying to keep his outfit together as he ran. They reached the entrance and bursted through the gym doors, blushing with extreme humiliation as everyone looked in their direction with shock. They walked in as calmly as they could and sat down at a nearby table.
"Thanks a lot, genious. You said we were late." Cartman hissed.
"I got the time wrong okay?" Kyle growled back.
"Guys, do you seen Shay anywhere?" Kenny drummed his fingers on the table.
"No, dude. He'll be here though, Wendy said that they might arrive at least a minute or two late because they would be busy getting him ready."
"Right."
"What are you so worried about? Don't you trust Wendy?" Cartman sighed.
"I do...it's just that I don't know if I should have left Shay alone."
"I'm telling you he'll be fine. Just enjoy yourself for a while and before you know it Shay will be by your side again."
"Yeah, chill out dude." Kyle assured him.
Again the doors blasted open and Kenny and the boys eagerly looked over only to see a recognizable boy with wavy black hair and a jet black tuxedo holding a rose in his hand. Everyone whispered amongst themselves as he approached the boys with an aware spark in his blood red eyes.
"What do you want, Damien?" Cartman commanded.
"I am here to witness the fallen angel of Heaven. Before us she gives life to unthinkable miracles and rises above all you mortals."
"Who are you talking about?"
"I am talking about the Maiden of Heavenly Ice."
"Dude, we don't know what you mean." Kyle put his head on his hand.
"As I suspected, she hasn't revealed her true form." Damien gave them an evil smile.
"Who hasn't?"
"You will see soon."
"Dude, why don't you go dance with some girls or something?"
"Yeah, go somewhere other than here." Kenny hadn't noticed the Son of the Evil One until he stood right in front of him.
"And you will be there to witness it, Immortal One. She will stand at your defense and recieve the blow of Death 'fore you wake."
"Enough riddles! Just go!" For some odd reason or another Kenny was becoming extremely uneasy.
"Very well." And with that he was gone into the crowds.
"I swear the more I see that guy the more I think he's a loon." Cartman scoffed.
"Well he is the son of Satan, it's natural for him to mysteriously appear with some weird "prophecy" from Hell." Kyle shrugged.
"I guess."
For a few more minutes they waited and watched a bunch of students come through the doors, but none were Wendy and her gang. Kenny was about to quit with the time lag and search for Shay himself when the final group appeared in the gym. Wendy was dressed up in a lavender dress with white gloves, her hair curled and pulled up, with a pearl necklace hanging around her neck. Bebe was in a red dress with black gloves and a silver necklace and a heart charm. The other person beside them he couldn't distinguish, but felt a rush of protective emotion stream into his body as Damien approached her, taking her hand and kissing it lightly.
"Welcome, my dear maiden." He whispered in a smooth voice.
"Kenny? Kenny what are you doing?" Kyle jumped up as he pushed back his chair and stomped up to the fallen angel.
Cartman followed Kyle unsure of what was going on. Kenny slid between the girl and Damien, his arms out shielding her from him.
"Don't you dare touch her again!" He yelled.
"Kenny, settle down!" Cartman tried to pull him away.
Two more unknown boys approached behind Damien and glared at them with fiery yellow eyes.
"Step away from her, Immortal One."
"I'm telling you for the last time, leave her alone."
"I don't want to ruin everyone's night. For everyone's sake, get out of the way."
"If you want to get to them you'll have to get through me." Kyle stood up beside Kenny.
"And me." Cartman joined them.
A circle formed around the six boys secretly wanting for a fight to give them something to talk about the next day. Wendy and Bebe watched appalled from the sidelines wishing for something to happen to distract them.
"What are you guys doing?" Kenny mumbled.
"When this is over we will tell you." Cartman replied.
"It seems she's befriended the Immortal One." One of Damien's servants observed.
"This is more complicated then I thought. I suppose we'll just let him take care of the undying abomination. Once he's out of the way I'll dispose of the threat." Damien grumbled to the unknown shadows and returned his attention to the boys. "As you wish, but you do not know the great destruction the one you protect will bring."
The lights flickered off and once they were restored the three hellish boys were gone. Everyone was obviously freaked out, but they went back to chatting as normal, as if nothing out of the ordinary happened. Kenny escorted the girl to where they originally sat and Wendy and Bebe ran to the table as well.
"We were going to tell you, dude. It's just that we didn't know how." Kyle troubled.
"Kenny, please believe that we were as soon as we found out." The two girls approved.
Everyone looked at Eric, but he just rolled his eyes.
"Don't look at me, I just recently found out."
Kenn sat in silence and looked to Shay with a kind glint in his eyes.
"I knew there was something different about you, I just didn't think you'd turn out to be this."
She didn't say anything and before she could Wendy and Bebe pushed themselves in the middle of them.
"We were late on purpose because we wanted to make it a surprise." They giggled.
"I just wish that surprise was on a better time when I was home." Kenny chuckled.
"References, dude, you were clean until now." Kyle warned.
The music began playing and Cartman had snuck away without anyone noticing. Wendy was pulled aside from the group and hushed by his finger on her mouth.
"Cartman! What are you doing?" She whispered.
"Will you do the honor of having this first dance with me?"
"What?"
"Willst du mit mir tanzen?"
Wendy smiled and gently kissed his cheek.
"Natürlich."
Kenny nudged Kyle and they hollered enthusiastically at Cartman as he led Wendy through the groups of couples. Bebe tapped on Broflovski's shoulder and held out her hand to him.
"Will you dance with me?" She asked.
"I guess..." Kyle nervously took her hand and tried not to cry out as she nearly yanked it out of its socket.
"Kenny?" Shay kept her eyes down.
"It wouldn't be any fun just sitting here." He took her hand and they walked over to where everyone was.
For three dances the six of them were having the time of their lives dancing together. For the fourth Cartman approached Kyle and smiled at him.
"Oh no, no way." He rejected.
"I promised Stan I would set things straight between us. This'll be the only chance I have to say I'm sorry and truly mean it."
Kyle blushed furiously and stayed where he was. There was no way he'd accept Cartman's hand in a dance. On the other hand, it would be a chance to hear him say he's sorry. On the other hand, he didn't want to be accused of being gay. On the other hand, he was going to dance with Stan if he comes, but to him that was different.
"Kahl, please."
"Fine, just this once." Kyle took his hand and trudged out onto the dance floor.
He yelped as Eric put a hand on his waist and pulled him closer until their chests were touching. Kyle settled his left hand on Cartman's shoulder and pretended to not notice his fingers entwining with the other boy's in the other. They took one step and Cartman swore under his breath as Kyle's foot ungracefully stepped on his.
"Damn it Kahl, who the hell taught you to dance?" He growled.
"It's not my fault you stepped a second too early."
"I didn't you did a second too late."
"Stop it you're squishing me!"
"You're practically crushing my hand!"
"Slow down!"
"Speed up!"
"We're out of time with everyone!"
"No, their out of time with us!"
"Go with the beat!"
"Go with the rhythm!"
Though they thought they were doing everything wrong, from a distance they were just fine. They floated on the floor and waltzed with such a profession that it was hard to tell if they were dancing at all. During the middle of the song, they had eased up a lot and no longer felt as embarrased as they did before. The two boys looked deeply into each others eyes and didn't notice that their faces were a bit too close until a dancing couple accidentally bumped into them.
"Ah! We're sorry!" They appologized, but froze in place. In fact, everyone did.
"Cartman!" Wendy shouted and the four of them ran up to them.
Their lips had gotten locked together from the shove. The whole gym was dead as they finally broke and fell to the ground, fainted. Wendy and Kenny drug Cartman and Bebe and Shay got Kyle to the side. Everyone returned to dancing once they were out of the way as they tried to revive them. Shay put her hand on Kyle's cheek and the freezing shot shot through his body. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Shay looking closely at him.
"I must have died and went to heaven." He mumbled and he hugged Shay. "That was the most horrible thing I've even had done to me!"
Wendy was having troubles getting Cartman up until she managed to throw a glass of water on his face. He sputtered and spat out the water, breathing deeply.
"Oh mah God, I had the most terrible dream ever! I was dancing with Kyle when all of a sudden this douche hit into us and we ended up kissing!"
"Cartman, that wasn't a dream." Wendy gestured to Kyle.
When their eyes met they gave each other a disgusted look. The rest of the night they didn't talk with each other nor did they even sit next to each other.
"Kyle, look who's here." Shay said in a hushed voice.
He looked up and had to stop himself from tackling Stan as he hobbled out on one crutch.
"I always thought God hated me, that he was doing all these bad things to me because he hated me. Now I see that he's real, for this is a miracle."
"You promised him the last dance, right?" Wendy said.
"I did."
Stan finally made it to the table and sat down by Kyle, smiling with joy to see his friends.
"The doctors said it was okay for me to come here, but I gotta go back to the hospital after. They didn't understand how I managed to recover, but I just said it was the work of an angel."
Kyle felt tears roll down his eyes and he gently embraced his best friend.
"I was so worried about you! I thought you'd never make it!"
"I wouldn't miss this for the world, Kyle."
"Are you sure you'll be able to dance in your condition?"
"Don't worry, I will."
Wendy sat on Cartman's lap, Shay by Kenny, and Bebe by Cartman and Wendy as they watched the two friends dance the last dance. Kyle was sure to go slow enough so that Stan wasn't rushed too much, but Stan didn't want to be a burden to him. He put his crutch down and continued dancing with his best friend until everyone but his friends left.
