Chapter 10 –May I Have this Dance?

The crowd still waiting for TIMMY to make his choice. As he walks over to TOOTIE'S direction, the lights are dark all around him and he is followed by the lone spotlight. But before he heads over into TOOTIE'S general direction; He takes off his hat and pulls out his hanky (We all know to be WANDA, COSMO & POOF in disguise) and puts it on the refreshments table. As he move away from the table with the spotlight following him, WANDA, COSMO, & POOF change back to fairy form and hide in the darkness to watch what TIMMY does next.

TIMMY is now standing over a visibly upset TOOTIE. He looks at her adoringly. Impressed and surprised by how beautiful she looks, he extends his hand and says to her in a soft genuine voice:

TIMMY: (To TOOTIE) "TOOTIE, will you give me the honor of this dance?"

TOOTIE: (Hearing TIMMY ask her what she has been waiting for all night looks at him with a big smile, stands up slowly, and says to him as she dries her eyes) "Yes! Yes, TIMMY TURNER! I will dance with you!"

TIMMY takes TOOTIE'S hand and leads her to the middle of the dance floor. As he is doing this, POOF poofs over to the DJ stand and pushes the button to play a slow song. TIMMY dances gracefully with TOOTIE as they smile at one another and share a moment of bliss. Both looking into each other's eyes adoringly. As they dance in the spotlight, everyone around them joins in with their partners in the background, and slow dance as well.

Just before TIMMY & TOOTIE'S dance starts, DENZEL CROCKER see's PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX standing on the opposite side of the floor chaperoning the dance. As he looks at her, MRS. CROCKER chimes in.

MRS. CROCKER: (To DENZEL) "Well? What are you waiting for? Go ask her to dance DENZEL before it's too late!"

MR. CROCKER: (Giving his mother a dirty look at first, then answers her.) "Oh alright mother!"

MR. CROCKER starts to walk over to PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX'S general direction. As he approaches her, he starts to get a little nervous. Just as he gets to within arm's length of her, the BOUNCER (From the Rich/Popular kids) shows up. He then proceeds to ask PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX a question.

BOUNCER: (To PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX) "So, you wanna dance beautiful?"

MR. CROCKER: (To the BOUNCER) "Hey! I was here first!"

The BOUNCER grabs MR. ROCKER and holds him against the wall right next to the "RED BUTTON." DENZEL see's it. The BOUNCER issues him a warning.

BOUNCER: (To MR. CROCKER) "The lady is gonna dance with me. You got a problem with that?"

MR. CROCKER: (To the BOUNCER slightly trembling) "No, but what does this button do?" (MR. CROCKER pushes the button.)

BOUNCER: (Realizing what MR. CROCKER just did) "No! Wait! Not that!" (Just then a trap door opens up, and he falls through the hole in the floor screaming. Just as he falls through the hole, the doors shut.)

MR. CROCKER: (Now asks PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX to dance with him) "PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX…" (She interrupts him)

PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX: (Smiling softly at MR. CROCKER) "GERALDINE."

MR. CROCKER: (Rephrases his question) "GERALDINE…would you like to dance?"

PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX: (Smiling brightly) "I would love to!"

Both PRINCIPAL WAXELPLAX & MR. CROCKER start slow dance right where they are, cheek to cheek, with their eyes closed to the music. Both of them start to smile.
