Lola and Drake were still out for dinner at Pete's and Sam's.

Shelby abused her similarity with Lola and grabbed the microphone. "OK ... let the fun begin!"

The pupils cheered, not noticing that it was not Lola.

Alas, Josh and Mindy were suspicious. Unfortunately Mindy wanted toavoid thinking about Drake.

Jake Crendle started playing some old love songs.

Stacey used her cotton swab sticks in order to remove the blood from Michael's cuts and bruises.

Finally it was time for the two fake couples to fess up.

Michael Barret rendered Stacey Dillsen unto Jenifer Mozely, and he received Olivary Biallo in return.

Olivary wondered why Michael was so bruised. "Aw Michael, you need to learn driving? Ask Mr. Takato!"

"Mr. Takato?" Michael wondered.

"Mr.Takato is the spirit of the moon!" Olivary explained.

"Oh yeah, great, the spirit of the moon!" Michael plastered a fake smile. He was totally confused. But Olivary had so far always had the best ideas ...who knows.

Zoey and Spencer were dancing side by side, each for himself. "Cool party!" They remarked unison.

Spencer looked funny in all those outfits designed by Zoey, and he liked that style.

"I haven't seen Lola yet ... let me greet her!" Zoey told Spencer who nodded solemnly. She walked over to Shelby, thinking her to be Lola.

Shelby kicked Zoey swiftly in the guts, without anyone noticing.

Zoey had no idea where the kick came from, and she would never have supposed it to be from Lola. She gurgled and slumped to the ground.

"Oops!" Shelby remarked, hiding a sadistic grin.

Zoey's friends walked over and tried to help her.

While Chase was still consternated when he saw Zoey on the floor, he felt a pain in his neck.

"Swallow this, betrayer!" Vincent Blake yelled at Chase Matthews. "And that!" He knocked Chase out.

Other pupils jumped immediately to Chase's rescue, Michael Barret and Jenifer Mosely on top of all. Alas, they were powerless against a football jock and a martial artist.

Although they had never met before, Shelby Marx and Vincent Blake cooperated perfectly.

In this moment, a flatscreen monitor on top of the prom hallactivated itself.

The face of Quinn Pensky appeared, Eric and Craig standing behind her. "Hey guys! Don't start the party without me!"

Mindy explained Josh that they had established a two-way TV channel.

Pupils tried to gang up against Shelby and Vince, but it was for not much avail.

Drake and Lola came back from dinner and were dismayed and flabbergasted.

Quinn noticed what was going on. She took her cellular phone and spread red alert.

The mayhem and onslaught initiated by Vince Blake continued mercilessly for several minutes.

All of a sudden, the backdoor opened.

A group of middle school kids, guided by custodian Gordy, stormed the prom room.

"Anti-weasle canon!" Gordy ordered.

Nevel and Gibby brought a steel onager into position, loaded with an anti-weasle net. They aimed at Vince Blake.

Sam and Freddie aimed another onager at Shelby Marx.

"Fire!" Megan Parker and Dustin Brooks yelled unison.

A few seconds later, Shelby Marx and Vincent Blake found themselves in suspense from the sealing, caught in an anti-weasle net.

Gordy yelled triumphantly. "Olé!" He jumped onto a chandelier and swang down from the verranda. "Aw! What a mess! Fortunately I don't have to clean it up!"

"Spencer had just recovered after looking for still aching Zoey Brooks."

Carly and Juana Evangelista dragged a large first-aid suitcase along.

"Freddie's mom gave me this one!" Carly explained.

Quinn and her boyfriends had been watching the salvation action from their end of the two-way TV channel. They had cheered for the brave intervention troop, and, most apparently, they had been the ones to inform them in the first place.

Drake wondered. "Aw Megan! Didn't you say you were staying in San Diego for the weekend?"

Megan chuckled mercilessly. "Aw boobs! Do you think I may leave you on your own? I know too well that this can't go well, and that you need me in order to fish you out of the troubles!"

Drake dragged himself to the microphone. "OK, the party must go on!"

Gordy shrugged. "OK, the nightshift is going to clean this up!"

Gordy's announce inspired Drake. He took his guitar and started performing a song [[105]].

Lisa Perkins and Harper Barret joined in.

:: Gonna be some sweet sounds:: Coming down the nightshift.:: I bet you're singing proud.:: Oh, I bet you'll pull a crowd.:::: Gonna be a long night:: It's gonna be alright:: On the nightshift.:::: You found another home.:: I know you're not alone:: On the nightshift.::

The pupils danced around crazily.

Quinn, Craig, and Eric celebrated along.

By that time, most of the participants were hungry. They called for Kazu.

Zoey smiled. "It was more of a shock than an injury!" She claimed.

"OK!" Spencer wiped the sweat off his head while Crly and Dustin were looking for cuts and bruises on Zoey. "That Shelby girl kicks like a fury!"

Kazu arrived, hand in hand with Sonya, the new cook of the cafeteria. "OK, and you're all invited to our wedding party, next October!" He thundered across the hall before he was smooched shut by Sonya. They deposited the ordered sushi and walked away.

Ashley arrived. "Wait! Don't punish Vince and Shelby! It's all my fault!"

Megan looked oddly at Ashley.

Ashley admitted that it would never have come that far if she hadn't used to treat Vince like dirt as soon as she had become a Hollywood star. And she had planned his revenge as a way to repair her misbehaviour.

Amber Tate admitted that she would have done the same for Logan.

Dana and Logan sighed. They had been slapped to the ground by Vince.

Megan suggested that they were all going to forget about the incident after the prom night, but that there had to be some sort of punishment. But the injured victims of Vincent's and Shelby's attack should speak up first.

Zoey Brooks, who had been the first victim of the onslaught, supported Megan's decision. There had been enough horror, and every act of vengeance was just going to make things worse.

Lola was dismayed. "But Zoey!" Alas, after a while, she started agreeing with Zoey's suggestion. "OK, but Ashley needs some harsh punishment! Five months of laundry patrol!"

Zoey nodded. "Sounds OK! But Vince and Shelby ..."

The culprits were still in suspense. They were hungry and smellled the scent of fresh sushi, but they were denied any bit of it. They cringed and swooned in vain. That was their just punishment.

The middle school kids had left the prom hall.

"You really want to go to law school?" Spencer asked Zoey.

"Maybe?" Zoey shrugged helplessly. "Unless I concentrate on my fashion."

Spencer nodded. "I've been to a bootcamp of Seattle Law School. Yet, I've decided to go for arts. That's up to you!"

Zoey smiled. "Would you help me deciding?"

Spencer grinned. "Sure! Why not? Maybe the dressman doll that I've carved for you will help you decide!"

Zoey was surprised. Carly hadn't told her about it.

Spencer nodded. "It was Nevel's idea. You will find it in the woodshop classroom ... but not today!"

Zoey sighed and yawned heartily. "A wise decision! But that doesn't mean that you have to cease having fun here!"

Spencer sighed. "The excitement was too much. I will hit the hay in an hour as well. See you tomorrow!"

Zoey smiled sweetly at Spencer when she stood up and waved him and her other friends a good night.

In that moment, James Garrett walked in. "Sorry, I've locked my tuxedo suit into our closet, and then I've lost my key, and that's why I had to borrow one from Ashley's costume collection. Look, this is all cheap and fake! Sorry ... Have I missed out on anything?"

Michael and Chase chuckled insanely.

Drake Parker and his band played the whole night through, and many prom freaks weren't going to budge until dawn.

Carly wasn't yet asleep in her bed, but Megan and Sam weren't either. "Look at what Dustin gave me!" She boasted with a promise ring. But Sam and Megan weren't the slighest bit surprised. "Aw, you've helped him to choose the rings?" She smiled when she heard Sam and Megan whistle innocently.

"Do you think that Zoey and Spencer ..." Sam asked viciously.

"Zoey is much too young for that!" Carly boomed. "On the other hand, in just a few years ..." She swooned and squeaked merrily.

"Are you thinking about a double wedding?" Megan asked.

"Who knows?" Carly whistled innocently.

Zoey had been sleeping until noon, and also Moze and Addie woke up by then. She met Lola on the way to the toilets.

"Sorry for having been late to the prom, which caused all the trouble with Shelby ..." Lola sighed. "Usually, Shelby isn't like that ..."

Zoey hugged Lola. "OK, now I'm hugging the real Lola!"

Lola smiled innocently when she hugged Zoey back. "We've come a long way during the last two years ... I wanted Chase, he wanted you, and now I'm going to get Drake, and Chase gets Addie, and you will sooner or later get Spencer ..."

Stacey complained. "Lola's evil cousin has kicked my cotton swabs into half!"

Moze huggled Stacey. "These were only the cotton swab clacker balls that you've made for Michael, anyways. Let's build something solid in our workshop!"

Stacey swooned and kissed Moze.

Addie showed up after brushing her teeth. "Cool! Now I'm going to meet Chase for breakfast."

Zoey sighed. "It's past noon, but I definitely need an American breakfast ... the English kitchen has turned my stomach inside out. I should never have left. Oh, I just like to talk with Spencer about Carly and Dustin and law school and arts, ... that's all!"

Lola smiled. "We'll see!"

Out on the campus, the girls heard Michael and Olivary talking about the spirit of the moon, and how to get him to show up. They saw their middle school friends spreading rumours about the prom. And they saw Chase yawning heartily.

Addie took care of Chase and snuggled him dizzy before strumming her guitar.

Spencer stumbled along.

"What are they doing?" Zoey wondered.

Megan, Sam, Freddie, Gibby, Amber, Ashley, Nevel, Diego, Scooter, Juana Evangelista and so on stated that they were celebrating the engagement of Carly and Dustin.

"Carly?!" Spencer was flabbergasted.

"Dustin?!" Zoey's jaw dropped.

Spencer stared at each other, but then they chuckled.

Addie and Chase gave a song for Carly and Dustin.[[106]]

:: Close your eyes!:: Give me your hand!:: Do you hear my heart beating?:: Do you understand?:: Do you feel the same?:: Am I only dreaming?:: Or is this burning an eternal flame?::
