The limo pulled up to a red carpet the school had provided that led to the gym. The driver opened the door for the couples and they stepped out. They walked down the red carpet and up to the door of the gym, where one of the teacher chaparones was taking tickets. Boomer handed her all six tickets and the six entered the gym.

The gym was decorated in different shades of browns, reds and golds. There were your typical fall patterns, turkeys, pumpkins and even some football stuff. The dance floor was surrounded by big round tables, to sit twelve, for everyone to eat at. Near the back was a buffet, and by the looks of the food, none of it was made by the school chefs.

On a table just inside the nicely decorated gym was a table with seating cards. Bubbles walked over and grabbed the three for her, Blossom and Buttercup.

"I feel so official," Bubbles said handing her seating card to Boomer.

Boomer took it and red the name out. "Miss. Bubbles Utonium & Mr. Boomer Jojo Table 2. Even in fancy calligraphy handwriting."

"Here is yours Miss. Blossom Utonium & Mr. Brick Jojo. And yours Miss. Buttercup Utonium & Mr. Butch Jojo," Bubbles said handing the cards to her sisters.

Both girls took their cards and stared at them for a moment before heading for table two. The seating arrangement was, Bubbles and Boomer in the middle, Brick next to Boomer and Blossom next to Brick, and Buttercup next to Bubbles and Buttercup next to her. With all of them sitting, they noticed there was still six chairs left. "I wonder who has those chairs," Bubbles said, thinking out loud.

"When did Sapphire and Ruby say they were coming?" Boomer asked.

"Well," Bubbles said cautiously, not wanting to give too much up about Sapphire's date. "Sapphire said they would be here soon when I texted her in the limo."

Blossom nodded. "And Ruby said they would be here soon too."

"What about Jade?" Butch asked Buttercup.

"Dunno. Probably like a half hour into the dance."

At that point everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the door. The six also looked and Bubbles smiled when she saw Sapphire standing there, her arm linked with Ricky Cordozza's arm.

It only took about five seconds for everybody to snap out of their trance and swarm them. Bubbles noticed most of the football team didn't look too happy but most of Sapphire's friends looked thrilled for her. Everyone else had mixed emotions.

Somehow they broke free of the huge crowd and made their way to the seat placement table. When they looked at their cards they headed for table two. "Hi guys," Sapphire said, sitting in the chair directly across from Bubbles and Ricky taking a seat across from Boomer.

"So, why don't any of you three guys go out for a winter sport?" Ricky asked.

"Well, we'll think about it," Butch said, "But we want to know more about when this little romance between the school's starting quarterback and one of the school's All State Drawing Champions happened."

Both Sapphire and Bubbles smiled at that. At last years All State Drawing Competition, both Bubbles and Sapphire placed first, in a deadlock tie.

Sapphire put her hand on the table and Ricky quickly took hold of it. "Well," he said, "It kinda started when she was my tutor. Most of the guys on the team said if I didn't get my grades up I'd get suspended from the team. So I went to the office and applied for a tutor. But they didn't just send me a tutor."

"The first time we studied together was sometime in mid September," Sapphire added.

"From the first time I saw her sit down next to me in the library, I knew I couldn't handle not falling for her," he said, the whole time, gazing into her eyes. Sapphire turned bright pink.

"That's so sweet," Boomer said.

"Did the team give you any grief? I know that it's not normal for an extremely popular guy such as yourself to, no offence Sapphire, date a girl not that popular," Butch asked.

"Wow, thanks Butch," Sapphire said teasingly.

"Well," Ricky said, "We didn't tell anyone. This is really the first time we've gone out on a date in public. Unless you count that time we went to the movies and Sapp wore a really big hat and sunglasses and wore a blonde wig."

The whole table laughed but Sapphire looked guilty. "Actually Ricky, I told Bubbles and Blossom, I told Buttercup when she gave me a ride home and Ruby was in the car so she knows and when I got home I called Jade and told her."

Ricky stared at her for a second. "I thought we agreed not to tell anybody."

"Well, I was just so nervous and worried about tonight so I had to tell someone. I thought I might explode or die if I didn't tell anyone."

"Well, at least the people you told wouldn't try to break us up. I can't wait for tomorrow at our home game to hear the guys' attempts to convince me to break up with you."

Then Ruby and Caleb appeared before them. "Hi guys!" Ruby said taking a seat next to Blossom and Caleb sitting across from Brick and next to Ricky.

"So," Caleb said turning to Sapphire and Ricky. "I hear you two made quite the entrance."

Sapphire blushed. "You could say that."

"So Ruby," Brick said, "When did you and Caleb start going out?"

"She tried to kill me," Caleb said in a dead serious voice, before plastering a huge smile on his face.

"Did not! I went to the band room to try to find Thatcher to ask him something so when I was walking around I picked up a drumstick. I was walking around with it and I tripped."

"And," Caleb said taking over. "The tip of the drumstick hit me right in the gut. If I wasn't getting something I left there that morning, I would have never had an attempt on my life, and I would have never fell in love with my would be murderer."

"And if I wasn't such a nerd I never would have been in the band room trying to find a teacher and never would have fell in love with my saviour."

By then it was a quarter after seven and Jade sat down across from Buttercup and her date Jett sat down next to Butch. "Hey Jade," Buttercup greeted them.

"Well," Butch said a bit uncomfortably, "My brothers asked their girlfriend's best friend how they got together with their dates, so now I feel compelled by tradition to ask you, how did you two first start going out?"

Jade and Jett both laughed. "We met at our karate school," Jade explained.

"I never knew she was in my class until she got partnered with me."

"I flipped him on the first try," making Jett blush slightly.

"Welcome Townsville High, to the Thanksgiving Dance!" screamed the DJ. "I am your DJ, Spice Boy and I say we should get things started with a slow song, so guys grab that special girl and get her on the dance floor!"

Nobody moved when Faithfully by Journey started. "Awwe Boomie I love this song." Without hesitation, Boomer took her hand and led her out to the dance floor, the first couple to dance that night. Bubbles put her arms around Boomer's neck and he placed his hands on her hips. They were soon copied by Blossom and Buttercup. Not long after them, Jade and Ruby followed.

With butterflies flying around in both their stomachs, Ricky led Sapphire out on the dance floor. The whole football team shook their heads in disapproval, but neither Sapphire nor Ricky cared.

The whole table two was the first table to dance, and at that moment, no one cared. As the guys twirled their dates around the dance floor, everyone stared at them. Pretty soon other couples from other tables joined in. After a couple of slow song the DJ stopped the music and announced, "Okay guys, the buffet is now open. We will be starting with table one and go in order. As you go up to get your food, don't forget to vote for your Thanksgiving Dance King and Queen. Your choices are, Bubbles and Boomer, Blossom and Brick, Buttercup and Butch or Sapphire and Ricky. Vote and enjoy the food!"

As table one got up and got their food the entire football team, who was seated at table five, stood up and went over to table two. "Ricky, we need to talk," said one of the players.

Sapphire shot Ricky a nervous glance but he gave her a reassuring look. He stood up and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be right back," he said before walking away with the team.

"Bubbles" Sapphire said in an asking tone, "Would you mind?"

Bubbles nodded and only her sisters and Boomer would understand what would happen next. She took a deep breath and tucked her hair behind her ear. This enabled her super sonic hearing and copying power. Anything that was said, came out of her mouth, in that persons' voice. It was a power she only gained the previous summer.

"Ricky, you gotta break up with Sapphire," said one of the players.

"No way Jerry. She's awesome. Why would I break it off with her?"

"She's not popular," said Jerry.

"So?"

"You don't understand. Football players date hot cheerleaders, not nerds," someone recognized as Tommy said.

"She's not a nerd," Ricky defended.

"Yes she is! Has she even come to any of our games?" Jerry asked.

Ricky sighed. "No."

"That's our point. If she really liked you, she would've gone to at least one of our games," Tommy explained.

"She couldn't! We wanted to keep it a secret for exactly this reason! No one would've accepted it!" Ricky vented.

"He's got a point," said a quiet voice. He was recognized as being Sean.

"What!" Jerry said shocked. "You're agreeing with him!"

"Yes," Sean said. "I am. If he wants to date Sapphire we should let him. What's it to you guys?"

"It trashes the teams rep," Tommy said as if it were common knowledge.

"You mean the rep we have for being arrogant, heartbreaking jerks?" Sean said.

For a minute the team was silent and Sapphire almost exploded from anxiety. "I guess Seany has a point," Tommy admitted.

"Fine," Jerry said in a fed up voice. "You can date her, but don't expect the team to vote for you."

"Would anyone vote for me?" Ricky asked his team. As he looked at the stern faced team, only one hand went up. Sean. "Would you really vote for me and Sapphire for King and Queen?"

"Yes."

Sapphire's heart melted. "Thank you Sean. I'm sorry I never really got to know you. And I think you're ready to play first string. I'll talk to coach about you starting next game."

"Whao," Jerry said. "I play first string right tackle."

"Only true team members play first string," Ricky said.

Ricky walked back to the table where Sapphire greeted him with a kiss on the lips. "Bubbles?" Ricky guessed.

"Hope you don't mind me spying on your conversations with the team."

"It's fine," Ricky said. "Well, I guess we only have one vote from the football team."

"It doesn't matter," Sapphire said.

"I guess," Ricky shrugged. "I just wanted this to be the perfect date."

Sapphire placed her hand on his knee. "We came together, we went public and we were nominated. That sounds perfect to me."

Ricky smiled. "And that is why I love you."

As the night went on, everyone talked, laughed, ate and danced.

"Alright Townsville High! It is now time to announce tonights King and Queen of the Harvest!" the DJ announced. "Can I have all the nominees on stage please?"

Everyone looked at each other and Bubbles, Boomer, Blossom, Brick, Buttercup, Butch, Sapphire and Ricky climbed the stairs to the stage. On stage, first was Butch and Buttercup, then was Blossom and Brick, next was Bubbles and Boomer followed by Sapphire and Ricky.

"Okay. You all voted and now is reveal time. Buttercup and Butch, I'm sorry you and Blossom and Brick came in third." Buttercup, Butch, Blossom and Brick filed off stage, not upset at all that they didn't win.

"Okay. Now," the DJ said as he took hold of the second envelope. As he opened the envelope a look of shock crossed his face. "It appears that we have a tie for King and Queen. Do we have a back up plan?"

The principal and the DJ talked for about a minute then turned to the two couples on stage. "Would you mind if we had a second vote? To decide between you two?" the DJ asked.

"Everyone would vote again but this time instead of voting between four couples they would vote for one of you two," the principal explained.

"Im okay with it," Bubbles said.

"If she's okay so am I," Boomer said.

"It's fine with me," Sapphire added.

"Same," Ricky said quietly.

The DJ and the principal turned to the crowd of shocked students. "Alright," the DJ said. "We came up with something. Everyone will vote again. This time your choices are Bubbles and Boomer or Sapphire and Ricky! Voting will be in the back starting in five minutes!"

The couples walked off the stage and Bubbles was confronted by the football team. Boomer stepped in front of her protectively. "If you have a problem," he warned, "You have to take it up with me."

Jerry stepped forward. "Make Sapphire bow out of the contest."

"No," Bubbles said, "She's my friend. Why would I do that to her? Just because you guys don't like the fact that Ricky is dating her, doesn't mean I don't like it."

Jerry frowned. "Fine. You'll make a good Queen." He looked at Boomer for a second. "And you'll make a good King."

"What are you talking about?" Boomer asked.

"We're not voting for Ricky. We would rather not have him win that win with her at his side," Jerry said firmly.

Bubbles rolled her eyes and noticed Tommy was looking kind of guilty. "Tommy," she said. "Will you vote for Sapp and Ricky rather than me and Boomie?"

Tommy shifted uncomfortably and looked at Bubbles. "Yes." He turned towards the rest of his teammates. "Come on guys, he's our friend. Not to mention out captain. What kind of team would we be if we didn't vote for him?"

Sean stepped forward. "I agree."

The rest of the team stood firm and didn't budge and Boomer shook his head at them. "You guys aren't a real team if you don't support your leader." He looped his arm around Bubbles' arm and together they walked to their table.

Sapphire jumped out of her chair when she saw them coming. "What did the team say?" she all but screamed at Bubbles.

Boomer walked to his seat and Bubbles continued her conversation. "Jerry, by the way, is an asshole."

"You got that right," Ricky added in agreement.

"Anyway, he said that the team would rather see Ricky loose than see him win with you at his side."

Sapphire looked back at Ricky, who stood up and put one arm around her waist from behind her. "What happened?" he asked Bubbles.

"Well, thanks Boomer," she mumbled to herself. "Your so called 'team' would rather see you loose than win with Sapphire.

"Well," Ricky said, "I guess it's safe to say the team's voting for you and Boomer."

"I'm sorry," Bubbles said. "Tommy tried to talk them out of it, but he failed."

A look of shock flashed over Ricky's face. "Wait, Tommy tried to talk them out of voting for you?"

"Yeah," Bubbles said a little confused. "Why? Is that unlike him?"

"Yes!" Ricky exclaimed. "Very unlike him! I have to go talk to him," Ricky said as he walked over to the team's table.

Bubbles and Sapphire sat back down in their seats. "Hey, Brick and I are gonna get out of here," Blossom whispered to her table.

"Why?" Ruby asked.

"We wanna take a walk on the beach," Brick said.

"Softie," Butch teased.

"Shut up or I'll blast you," Brick threatened his brother.

"Are you going to walk on the beach or walk on the beach?" Caleb asked.

"Walk as in walk," Blossom stated. "We're taking the limo and leaving out shoes there. He should be back to pick you guys up at midnight."

"Who did you vote for?" Jade asked.

"Well," Blossom said. "Because Bubbles is my sister, I voted for her."

"As for me," Brick piped in, "As the saying says, 'Bros before hoes'. And in no way shape, form, color, size or odder am I implying that you're a hoe. In fact, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever met in my whole life," he said as he wrapped Blossom into a kiss.

"You're so full of it, you know that?" she said to him.

"Yeah, I've heard."

"No PDA r get a freaken room!" Butch teased.

"Thanks for voting for me Brick," Sapphire thanked.

"I voted for you too," Butch confessed. Almost everyone stared at him. "What? Me and Greenie had a deal. She'd vote for her sister and I'd vote for Ricky."

"Thanks Buttercup," Sapphire thanked again. "It means a lot tome that you guys would split your votes between me and Bubbles."

"You know," Jett popped in, "Me and Jade did the same thing with Ruby and Caleb. The guys voted for Ricky while the girls voted for you."

Sapphire glowed. "Thanks guys."

"Well," Blossom said at last, "Brick and I are outta here. Good luck Bubbles, Sapphire." And with that, the reds left the dance, arms linked together.

Not long after that Ricky came back to the table with Sean and Tommy. Sapphire wanted to punch them both in the face.

Ricky sat next Sapphire and she leaned in close to whisper in his ear. "Why are they here? Can I punch them in their faces please?"

Ricky laughed and leaned back in his chair. "No, you can't punch them in their faces." Sapphire made a pout face. "Even as cute as that face is, they want to say something for you."

Sapphire turned to face Tommy and Sean, but gave them cold looks. Tommy was the first one speak, "I'm sorry I was a jerk to you Sapphire. I didn't want Jerry to chew me out on not being loyal to the team, so I just went ahead and agreed with him on everything so he wouldn't."

"Thanks Tommy. It means a lot to us," Sapphire said, then turned to Sean. "And Sean, thank you for voting for me the first time."

Sean blushed a little. "You're welcome. And if you do win Sapp, how will you take it Bubbles?"

Bubbles looked a bit startled at the question directed at her. "Um, if she wins, I'll be happy for her and I hope if I win she would be happy for me."

"If Bubbles won," Sapphire said to Sean, "I would be happy for her and, as she said, if I won she would be happy for me."

Party Rock Anthem started to play and Bubbles, Buttercup and Sapphire pulled their dates out of their chairs and dragged them to the dance floor. Sean and Tommy shrugged at each other and joined them on the dance floor.
