2 days later the Go Go Girls were preparing for the dance in their room. "Look Articuno don't worry about Butch being an asshole. Mertle's just as bad" Ho-oh reassured her. Lugia had just finished putting on her silver anklets with blue teardrops on them before adding in: "Yeah your date with Shadow should turn out to be great! Ho-oh and I are getting in by telling the staff were are serving drinks and stuff". Articuno wore her dress, but still had the window curtain draping over it.
The dance in South Park Elementary was being held in the gymnasium. It was floral/nature themed with various flower boquets and sparkling decorations everywhere. Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartmen, and Kenny McCormick stood at one end complianing about the tuxedos. "Dude I hate this. My mom made me come to this dance. But then I told Bebe I would take her." Kyle groaned. Not so far away, the RowdyRuff Boys Z were sampling some of the snacks while Mertle Edmonds stood holding Butch's arm. "That troublesome bird better not ruin this perfect night" Mertle hissed. Mertle had her hair straightened and she wore a lavender dress with transparent sequins. Her glasses were also adorned with fake diamonds. Finally the Go Go Girls walked into the gym with Mysteri following behind. Articuno wore a teal dress that is long, sleeveless, and had 20 diamond snowflake adornments embellished on the front. Articuno had a teal sash with fake white diamonds on the front. The back of the dress had a turquoise and metallic silver cape with diamonds on the top and was draping from the back of the dress. Articuno also had a snowflake decoration next to her crest. Ho-oh wore her long red dress with a sparkly ruby red ruffled cape-like thing that wraps around the torso and stretches to the floor all around , except the front. It has a wide dark pink belt with several golden cords connected in the middle by a large, fire-shaped orange jewel surrounded by small teardrop shaped jewels with two yellow stars to the upper right, and from this decoration dangles two medium length golden cords with several seed bead cords dangling at the ends. Ho-oh wore her feather "hair" down and she also wore a fire-shaped ornament in her hair. Lugia wore her cobalt blue gown with green trimming and ruffles. "This could not look any better girls" Articuno commented.
"Ooh. Look who's coming Freezer. It's your Prince Charming." Lugia purred. "Oh shut up Lugia" Articuno sighed. Shadow wore a tuxedo with a blue rose boutonnière and walked over to Articuno and her friends. "So I guess this means the dance has already started?" Shadow asked. The hedgehog took Articuno's winghand and led her to the middle of the gymnasium. "Guys everyone is staring at us" Articuno whispered. "Don't worry we are here." Ho-oh replied. "Please catch me if I faint please" By then, a circle of 4th graders surrounded them. "Alright Articuno you dealt with scarier things in your life. Dancing with a guy can't be that bad!" Articuno whispered to herself. The two started it with a smooth ballroom dance, while the DJ put on a slow tune music. Meanwhile Mertle and Butch stood in a corner scoffing. "Look at them! That annoying hedgehog is being a show-off and that Articuno b&^4 is being so ugh!" Mertle hissed. "That d*mn hedgehog." Butch growled through gritted teeth. "Don't forget your misson Butch" Mephiles spoke through telepathy. "Yes sire" Butch whispered. "Who are you talking to?" Mertle asked suspiciously.
Articuno and Shadow had just finished their dance and; "Shadow there are some things that I've been wanting to tell you, but I never had the nerve to tell you" Articuno whispered. "The same thing with me. Even though Maria is back and well, I just wanted to tell you that.." the ebony hedgehog replied before being cut-off by an explosion. The smoker cleared to reveal the original RowdyRuff Boys! "Heya kiddies! We heard about his party and none of us got invites, so we are here to crash it!" Brick announced.
