After school the next day, I immediately went home to get ready for the dance, because I have a hair appointment. I want to look so beautiful for Putzie. I went to the hair salon and they made my hair a pretty do. I don't even care unless it looks crazy, and I went home to find Jill's tiara, because one, it always reminds me of being a princess, and two; Jill wore that to prom when she was a senior.

My mom gives me a corsage. A little red flower on my wrist. She has tears in her eyes and smiles, and I know why. I'm her last baby all grown up.

I hear the doorbell ring, and Dad goes get it. I walk downstairs in new white flats to see Putzie all handsome looking, his blonde hair all greased, and holding a pretty pink rose. I can't stop smiling as I walk down. Dad took a picture of us before we set off the dance, in his father's car that he borrowed.

"Ya excited to be on television?"

I just nodded. I don't really have any words to say when I'm by my date!

We soon enter the gym to see a lot of red and white streamers and red and white balloons, and a giant ranger head.

"Boy the gym never looked so good!" Putzie said loving the decorations.

"Yeah," I asked, "Did ya bring the provisions?" He was way ahead of me. He held up his arms, and in the sleeves is a Hershey bar and a whipped cream can. I smiled.

I hear a guy from National Bandstand announce, "Alright kids, I want a big circle here! A big circle!" He ushers all in a circle which gives a very huge space in the gym. "C'mon boys and girls, we are going on air very shortly." We all cheer loudly excited to be on television nationwide. "But first let's have some warm up numbers with Johnny Casino and the Gamblers!"

I love Johnny Casino! He and the band are cool! I love some of their music because it makes me jump for joy.

They started playing some rock n' roll, I took Putzie to the dance floor and started to shimmy, then jump, and spin, and turn throughout the whole song.

A guy showed up asking for our names before heading for the other dancing couples and we dance some more.

I started spinning till I saw Danny and Sandy who are dancing by us. She is wearing the pretty white dress I found with a clear white shawl on top, and Danny wears a sexy tuxedo.

I stopped dancing to say hi to them. As I head to them, the song ends and Danny dives Sandy a dip.

"Hey Sandy! Danny!"

"Hi Jan," Sandy smiles as Danny eased her back up.

"Hey Putz!" Danny shakes his hand. "Very handsome."

"Thank you best leader ever!" Putzie smiles and then links my arms.

I smiled at Sandy's dress. "I told ya the dress is you! It really matches your style!"

"Thanks Jan!" Sandy smiles.

"C'mon Sandy. Let's go get some punch." Danny links her arms and took her to the punch bowl. Putzie took me to the dance floor as "Those magic changes" comes on.

"Oh! I love this song!" I squeaked, "Can I dance? Please?"

Putzie sighed, "Alright! Just for you!" At first we started dancing until I started walk-dancing Putzie, and he asks, "Why doncha let me lead for a change?"

I turned him around and said whining a bit, "I can't help it! I'm used to leadin'!"

"Ok." I drag him until we stop dancing as we met up with Kenickie and this other girl I don't know. Does she go to Rydell?

"Hey Kenickie!" I shouted.

"Hey guys!" Kenickie shook Putzie's hand. "This is my date. Cha Cha DiGreggorio."

Putzie came behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. Frenchy and Doody showed up too. And Danny and Sandy are coming toward us and Danny starts singing very off key.

Kenickie stops him. "Hey Zuko! Zuk! Zuk! I want you to meet Cha Cha DiGreggorio!" He took a glance at her for a split second and turned around.

The girl purred, "how ya doin Zuko baby?" Danny replied, "Alright."

"Who is she?" Doody asked either of us.

The girl smiles and says with a little brag, "they call me Cha Cha. Because I'm the best dancer at St. Bernadette's." Oh. So she's a catholic school girl.

"With the worst reputation," Frenchy finished.

"Let's go Sandy." Danny immediately takes her by the hand away from us to go back on the dance floor.

"C'mon Charlene! Let's dance!" Kenickie also takes her by the hand and goes to the dance floor.

"Charlene?" Doody asked. "Didn't she and Danny go out together long ago?"

"They used to," Frenchy replied flatly, "before Rizzo."

"Gee... I didn't know that..." I said as we both went to the punch bowl.
