It's night-time at the school and in the gymnasium, it was a party, there was a balloon arch in front of the doors, a disco ball hanging from the ceiling, clothed tables with chairs around the room, a DJ setup, photobooth, an ice statue of a cupid with Chris Maclean's head and for the winter theme a giant Christmas tree was in the corner.

Chloe was wearing a strapless pink grown dress with the lower half being a lighter colour, a pair of white shoes and long gloves, a pearl necklace and earrings

Tyler: oh, she is not going to this dance for us

Soon Beth showed up wearing a short pink dress gown with large round shoulder pads that look like something from a Disney princess movie, the lower half to her dress was a little darker than the top half.

Beth: wow this place is amazing…

Heather: there you are (said annoyedly) come on we have work to do

Then Lashawna arrived with her hair in a bun whilst also wearing a strapless purple dress and shoes, she also had long white gloves and her hoop earrings were replaced by gold ones instead.

Finally, Courtney made her way inside wearing a long strapless cream coloured dress.

Courtney: ok court you can do this


The night started off great there was dancing, mingling, conversations, kissing and a whole lot more. On the dance DJ stepped up and off some liquid fire moves, people were astounded and amazed and started chanting his name until the school's ice dancers Josee and Jacques walked on insulting him.

Jacques: you call that dancing, you look like a headless chicken

Josee: let us show you how a professional does it

They start dancing as if they were on ice and if it would be an actual competition, everyone was amazed by them and started applauding and appraising them.

Josee: beat that D-Joke

DJ: if you insist

He starts doing a combination of dances ballet, ribbon dancing, brake dancing and so much more, the crowd was amazed by this and soon he started spinning on his head until he stopped pointing at the ice dancers.

DJ: how's that for a headless chicken

The ice dancers faint while everyone chants DJ's name and picks him up whilst tossing flowers at him.


Harold manged to get a hold of some speakers and then connected his keyboard to it and started play Axel F, everyone was starting to get into the beat especially since it was coming from some giant speakers until Izzy accidently broke a generator powering the speakers.

Crowd: BOOOOOO!

Harold: what a go moron

Izzy: aw calm down I know just the thing to fix this (she runs out the gym)

10 minutes later

Izzy: I'm back and this car battery should do the trick

She connects the speakers to the battery to the speakers and then Harold plays his Keyboard again and the crowd went wild.

Harold: hey where did you even get that thing

Izzy: oh, it was just lying around

Meanwhile at Chef's house, Chef was walking out his house and towards his car to head to the store.

Chef: a 99% discount on tubas during the night, how can I not refuse…AHHHHHHHHHHHHH MY CAR!

Chef sees his car completely torn, shredded and ripped apart with junk lying everywhere and pieces of it on fire.


At the photobooth Chloe and Frank decide to have a couple of pictures taken together.

Chloe: hey can we get our picture taken together

Frank: sure, I don't see why not

They get inside and sit at the screen while it takes their picture, when they get out the machine prints out the photos of them. The first one was them holding each other, the second one was them kissing, the third one was with Chloe wearing rapper shades and Frank wearing a fluffy pink scarf, and the fourth one was them hugging each other.

Chloe: these turned out well but one question, I've never seen you without your shades what's behind them

Frank: like I said that is a story for another day


While Bridgette was standing alone Ezekiel walked up to her and started to speak.

Ezekiel: hey bridge you want to dance with me

Bridgette: for the fifteenth time no I'm here with Geoff

Ezekiel: oh, come on you know you want me (Geoff walks behind him and taps his shoulder)

Geoff: I'm going to give you to the count of three to leave (punches his fists) 1…2…

Ezekiel runs away in fear leaving the building whilst still running down the street in terror.

Geoff: I'm so sorry who had to witness that

Bridgette: well, thank goodness my big strong man arrived (they start making out)


Meanwhile Noah was sitting to himself trying to figure out who is mystery date was and who it could be.

Owen: you good buddy

Noah: no, I am not good I don't know who or where my date is

Owen: hey let me get you some punch to cheer you up

As Owen left, he bumped into an Asian girl with blueish-black hair wearing a red dress, he looked to see it was none other than Emma a girl that went to his and Noah's old school.

Owen: Emma what are you doing here

Emma: Owen what are you doing here

Owen: I go here with Noah, but still why are you here

Emma: my dad told me to come because apparently, I have a mystery date but that's pointless since no one here even knows about me…wait Noah goes here

Owen: yeah, funny enough he has a mystery date too apparently, it's someone he knows but you could it be is the question

Emma approached the table Noah was sitting at, but he kept sitting the other way starring at the couples on the dance floor while looking sad, Emma approached from the behind without him looking.

Emma: excuse me is this table taken

Noah: nah do whatever you want (he still faced away)

Emma: why so bummed

Noah: my dad set up a mystery date for me, but I can't find the girl that's meant to be

Emma: I'm on a mystery date too and when I told my sister Kitty, she went crazy with joy

Noah: did you just say your sister is kitty… (Noah turns his head to see Emma starring and smiling at him) Emm…mmm…Emma why are you are here you don't go to this school

Emma: for someone so smart you really don't see the bigger picture do you

Noah paused for a second and then everything clicked on.

Emma: speaking of which you wanna dance

He didn't say anything he just nodded his head and went along with her, soon they started slow dancing together and when Noah facing one way Owen gave him a thumbs up while Noah nodded at him.


Heather gathered Lindsay and Beth for her plan to proceed.

Heather: ok here's how it's going to go, Lindsay you're going to flirt with Trent and make him fall for you, meanwhile Beth have Cody flirt with Gwen that should ruin things

Beth: I don't know about this

Lindsay: yeah, I was really hoping to spend this night with Tyler

Heather: DON'T QUESTION ME, NOW GET TO WORK

They both nod and go and do their thing little did Heather know Leshawna was watching, as Cody drinks punch from the bowl Beth approaches him to convince him to dance with Gwen but she stops to see Sierra wearing a white dress starring at him.

Beth: excuse me but why are you starring at him

Sierra: because just look at Cody, that hair that body aww

Beth feels something within her thinking if there's someone that likes him maybe he should be with Sierra and not forced with Gwen. While Heather wasn't looking, she talks with Sierra.

Beth: okay if you really like him then you should ask him dance with you

Sierra: really you think so

Beth: yeah, go for it

Sierra quickly gets up from her seat and rushes over to Cody, she first introduces herself to him and out of the blue grabs his arm and dances furiously with him while Cody fears for his. Heather then walks over to Beth about to complain.

Beth: huh maybe this wasn't a smart idea

Heather: what's taking so long

Beth: oh…there's been a bit of…inconvenience yeah look (she sees Cody and Sierra dancing with each other)

Heather: dammit well at least Lindsay will have some better luck

Meanwhile Leshawna dragged Trent and Tyler together.

Trent: what's your deal

Tyler: yeah, what's going on

Leshawna: I've got something to tell you two

As Lindsay approached Trent, she was feeling nervous about doing what heather says or having a good time with her boyfriend. Eventually she made her way towards the musician.

Lindsay: hi…Trent

Trent: ah Lindsay perfect hey Tyler, I found her

Tyler: ah there you are (he grabs her onto the dance floor)

The jock held her tight as they slow danced with everyone else, Lindsay saw heather looking really pissed off, so she smiled and shrugged her shoulders, then Tyler Turned around and grinned while flipping her off.

Heather: this can't be happening

Trent: I'm afraid it is, now if you need me, I have a date with both a goth and destiny

Gwen was sitting depressed at the table, but little did she know Trent was approaching her.

Gwen: it's official this is the worst day of my life…

Trent: well, is there any way I can make better (Gwen looked up to see Trent with his hand out to her) would you do me the honours of having this dance with me

Gwen: I shall (she blushes)

The two of them go to the dance floor and have fun dancing with each other as they starred into each other's eyes. While they danced Heather was grinding her teeth while crossing her arms.

Heather: no this is not how the plan was supposed to go

Leshawna: well, it looks like fate has other plans, now my work here is done time to show DJ how to really dance (she walks away)

Heather: laugh it up now but I still have one more trick up my sleeve (smiles evilly)


As Gwen left to dance with Trent, Courtney was left alone at the table she saw the happy couple dancing with each other while the rest of her friends were doing their own thing Lashawna busting out some moves in a dance off against DJ, she saw Bridgette at another table making out with Geoff and she saw Chloe laughing with Frank while drinking fruit punch. She was left alone sad and depressed though in the corner Duncan notices her being depressed and thinks to himself, finally he decided to go up to her. However, Heather sees him walking and then talks to Justin.

Heather: remember what we agreed upon

Justin: that depends, do you have what we discussed (Heather hands him 1000 dollars) pleasure doing business with you

As Courtney sits alone at the table, Duncan soon gets closer to her, halfway as he gets closer Justin gets in front of him and talks to Courtney.

Justin: excuse me miss but would you like to take this dance

Courtney: I…I would (she says happily)

As they held hands to the dance floor and started slow dancing with everyone else Duncan stood still, and his face looked as if his heart just broke into a million pieces. As he watched them hold each other close he walked out the room in sorrow, got in his car and went home.

Heather: he he he at least something went according to plan


Soon the Dance was over, and everybody was going home for Christmas, Trent and Gwen walked out with Gwen holding onto both of Trent's arms.

Gwen: tonight, was magical wasn't it

Trent: sure was, hey would you like a lift home

Gwen: I would

Trent gets onto his motorbike and puts his helmet on while Gwen sits behind him wrapping her arms around his waist and the two of them drive into the night. Soon Noah and Emma walked out holding hands and then started to speak.

Emma: I had a really great time tonight

Noah: yeah, me too

Emma: I guess I'll see you around (she kisses him on the cheek and then leaves)

Noah: what just happened (Owen shows up)

Owen: you just had your first date little buddy

Soon everyone else left the school to go home and the last people to walk out were Justin and Courtney.

Courtney: I had fun maybe we can…

Justin: I'm going to stop you right there, look Heather paid me to dance with you and then break up with you so see yah (Justin walks away with a bunch of paparazzi following him)

Courtney just stood there as if her heart had broken into a million pieces. As she stood in shock the school lights turned off, the banner above the door fell on one side and the snow started to fall. She then got to her knees and started sobbing into the hands.
