Wednesday after school, Donna and Emma were heading to cheer practice when they spotted Zoe and Kara, "Welcome back to cheer everyone" shouted Stephanie.
"Hip Hip Hooray" Payton shouted.
"Sydney" Stephanie shouted, "Our voted choreographer spent yesterday working on a routine to incorporate the newbies. Plus Donna gets to be in a special part"
"Donna! Donna! Donna!" everyone shouted, except for Mia.
"Show them what you got, Donna" shouted Sydney.
"Go Donna Go!" Emma shouted.
A Pacific-Islander boy with braces started to feel a little nervous, "Hold up" said Kara, "We don't allow flyers for this routine
"Come on Kara," said Stephanie, "It's only fair that we give him a chance."
Kieran did roundoff, a backflip, and a pose.
"He nailed it" shouted Donna
"Nicely done, Kieran" shouted Emma.
"Thank you," Kieran said shyly.
A few hours later, Donna was getting her books from her locker when she spots Kieran. "Your not mad," Kieran said.
"Not at all" Donna replied, "You did the best you could. By the way, you're a really good cheerleader"
"Thanks" Kieran replied.
"Why do you keep listening to Kara," Donna asked "She's a monster"
"I don't know." Kieran replied, "From what it's worth, you did great too. I'd be doing my best on principle, but I'll do my best to let you keep your spot."
After he left, Donna got a message from Caleb
Donna
Ezra and I are having a party Friday night.
Care to come
Donna needed to get her mind off of Kara and Zoe, so she decided to go to the party.
At home, Donna got out a pink dress with beads, "Hold up, Kiddo" shouted Rocket "There's going to be a party at Sporty Boy's house. I want to come too."
"Okay" replied Donna, "But no explosions"
Suddenly, she got an urgent message from Michael, "It's Mikey" replied, "Kara and Max are crashing the party. He said that they're talking smack about me"
Later, Donna and Rocket enter the Mitchell's residents being packed with students from Hearst and Berry, "Ezra, Caleb" shouted Donna as the two brothers barge their way through.
"Hey there, Don" shouted Caleb as he high fived her, "We're glad you can make it."
"Wouldn't miss it for anything." Donna replied, "And I told my cousin to be on his best behavior while we're here."
"You know how to pull out an outfit." Ezra said, "Just make yourself at home"
Before Donna could finish, Michael pushes through to get her. He gives her a quick kiss and then takes a step back. Donna starts to notice that he looks worried, thanks to a little Max and Kara's trouble. Donna follows Michael's gaze across the room to see Kara and Max Lying about her. They tried to convince Wes and Morgan that Donna is no good, but they don't believe them, "Kara, Max" growled Donna, "You can't bribe anyone to vote for Freshman prom king and queen."
Max and Kara leave her to talk to Michael, Caleb, and Ezra. Michael warned her that their not the only ones. Donna decided to fight fire with fire. Before she started, she saw a blond girl talking to Ezra, "Donna" he said, "This is Bethany Fox. We've known each other since we were tikes."
"Nice to meet you Donna" Bethany replied, "Ezra has told me all about you."
Bethany explained that they were discussing how many kisses. During her time in middle school, Ezra was the only thing. They were bummed that they. Suddenly, Zoe and Terrence show up with drinks, "Careful, Beth" Kara growled, "Your loyalty lies with Hearst."
"Yeah," Terrence said, "And that girl Donalie, she's a madwoman."
"She's not bad once you get to know her," Bethany replied angrily.
"Whatever" growled Kara.
"Good luck running against them." Bethany said to Donna, "But with your dress, you're likely to win."
Next to the fireplace, people pushed couches to the side to make a dance floor. On Michael's phone, it started to play Backstreet Boys' I Want It That Way. Donna slides to Michael as he stands by one of the couches and watches some of the patrons dance, "Not joining" as she starts to dance.
"Not at all, Babe," Michael said, "If I got on the dance floor."
"Come on" Donna replies as she takes him to the dance floor, "Let's put your money where your mouth is."
"Your moves are really good" comment, Donna.
As they were enjoying the dancing, Payton came up to Donna, "Donny" she said, "Wes and Julian want to dance with Autumn, but she can't make up her mind on who to dance with."
"Let Julian dance with her" Donna suggested, "He's been so nice to her lately, he deserves this."
"I'll get something romantic to play," replied Payton.
By a couch, Donna spots Julian, "Hey" said Donna "I see you, you should dance with Autumn"
"She wouldn't" replied Julian sadly, "After all we're going through.
"Trust me" Donna replied as Payton started playing Nsync's Music Of My Heart.
"Hey" Julian shyly said to Autumn, "Care to dance?
Autumn smiled and said, "I love to"
After the slow dance, Donna sees Aiden and a few others enjoying a fire pit, and Maria, Emma and a few more enjoying the sunset.
Outside, she sees Aiden with Ava, Lucas, Nishan, and Sakura roasting marshmallows while Koh tosses the paper into the fire. Koh explains that the papers were old tests. Aiden was concern about him, even though Hearst was in flames. Koh told him not to worry.
Donna decided to sit it out because she doesn't want to ruin the moment.
She spots Emma, Myra, Mia, Maria, Kieran, and Luis. Emma leans her head against Luis and he kisses her on the forehead. Donna plops down next to Emma. In front of her, she could see the sky turn, "Oh great" Mia growled, "Loser Solo is in the house."
Donna just ignores Mia. Luis, Myra, and Sydney explained that they were just getting to know Kieran. "I never knew that Hearst students could be nice." Myra said, "Kieran told us about your cheerleading performance."
Brian was coming out of the house. He tried to woo Myra, but she refused.
Later at the party, Ezra had an announcement to make. Bethany was being pushed to the middle of the crowd. She stands to the table next to Ezra, then he took her hand, "Bethany Fox" he said to her, "Will you go to the prom"
"Yes" shouted Bethany, as she wraps her arms around his neck and kisses him.
Everyone else rooted for them. Rocket, on the other hand, was disgusted. With one look on her Rainbow Monkey watch, Donna decided to go home before Rocket starts misbehaving again, "See you at prom committee" Donna said as she blew a kiss to Michael and took off.
"What does he see in her," asked Aiden.
"She's weird" Michael answered, "And I like weird"
