Chapter starts at the front of Phoenix Drop High. Then two girls were looking at a poster advertising the coming Prom.
Girl 1: Ooh, Prom! I'm so excited!
Girl 2: Samesies!
They walk off, in FireStone's homeroom class. There were two boys that share a desk, Jeffory and another guy.
Random boy: So, Jeffory, who are you gonna take to prom, now that you're a single pringle, huh?
Jeffory: Kind of early to be asking those kind of questions, eh.
Random boy: Oh, my bad, bro.
Jeffory: He-Hey, no hard feelings. So what about you?
Jeff is nearby, and heard everything.
Jeff: Prom? Wow, I wonder if Sasha— Should I ask her? *Makes nervous sound*
Meanwhile with FireStone, who is holding a prom flyer.
FireStone: Uh, Prom? Would she even want to go? *Sighs* You don't even know how she feels about it. Besides, it's not like—
Jeffory: Hey, buddy! What's going on?
FireStone: Buddy? You must be thinking of someone else.
Jeffory: I'm here, talking to you, Mr. Sits Alone Every Day. Come on! School's almost over, and prom's around the corner. I know switching schools is rough, but you've got to try to make friends in your own class at least once.
FireStone: Hmph.
Jeffory: Speaking of which, I haven't seen you in detention lately. Someone keeping you out of trouble, I see.
FireStone: Sort of. *He looks at the Prom flyer*
Jeffory: Hmm? Ho ho ho! Thinking of going to prom, eh?
FireStone: Ugh, what makes you think that?
Jeffory: No one looks at a Prom poster like that unless they've got someone special on their mind. Huh?
FireStone: I, uh,—
A Lycanroc and Balto were sitting next to each other and talking.
Lycanroc: So, are you even going to try, Balto?
Balto: Ugh, isn't every Lycanroc junior and senior going to try to ask the alpha female to prom?
Lycanroc: Duh, even I have plans to ask her. But it's going to be super awkward this year. She's a freshman, and a Snivy on top of that,
Balto: Still can't believe they let other species into Lycanroc class this year.
Lycanroc: So you still haven't answered my question. Are you planning to ask her?
Jeffory: *Turning around, because FireStone's desk is just across the walkway from Balto and the Lycanroc's* Hey Balto!
Balto: Huh?
Jeffory: Don't be nervous, you got this! Just be confident when you approach her. You've got my vote of confidence!
FireStone looks really angry in the background.
Balto: Uhh, okay. Thanks.
Jeffory: You can ask the alpha female out no problem!
Lycanroc: *To Balto, and somehow Jeffory can't hear* D-Does he realize he's talking about her in front of her mate?
Balto: *To Rylan, and Jeffory I guess still can't hear* Hahaha! I don't think so. Which makes this priceless! Hahahaha! *To Jeffory and so FireStone can hear from his desk* I definitely will ask her out, Jeffory. I'm glad some mons know their place. Hahahahaha!
Jeffory: Man, I sincerely hope Balto gets the girl he wants to take.
FireStone: Grrrrrrr! (He gets up and leaves)
Jeffory: Huh? Where are you going? *He watches FireStone leave, still confused*
Meanwhile at front of the girls' bathroom, then shows Katelyn sadly sitting in the corner, Aphmau, Lucinda, and Teony all in the bathroom. Lucinda is holding a prom flyer, and they're all talking about it (except Kris.
Sunny: Ahaha! Prom?! So cool!
Celest: Oh, I can't wait 'til I'm a senior, I want to attend..!
Rosa: You know you can attend as soon as a junior, right?
Celest: No way! I'd rather be studying for finals around that time. Prom for me is for when I'm a senior, who's gotten into a great college!
Sunny: Wow! Celest, you really have your priorities in line.
Celest: Of course I do! Unless some hottie who's got straight A's, happens to be on the life time honor roll, and is also captain of the softball team comes along and sweeps me off my feet.
Rosa: Wow, Celest. Those are some pretty high standards.
Celest: She also has to want to take me to Paris at some point.. Hahaha!
Sunny: Haha. At least you know what you want! Exactly what you want, actually. Heh.
Rosa: Well, I'll be excited when I'm a junior. This girl loves to party.
Sunny: Oh, it just sounds so exciting!
Rosa: Already thinking about prom?
Sunny: Heheh. Well, everybody in school's kinda talking about it, so it's really hard not to. But, It'll be about two more years before I can even think about going.
Celest: That's right, Sunny. You focus on your studies.
Rosa: Well, all I know is, I'll be excited if some hottie asks me to prom.
Kris: *Sniffles* Jeffory... was going to take me to prom. *Starts crying*
Rosa: Katelyn, snap out of it. It's been awhile since you guys have—
Sunny: Mew!
Rosa: Why did you just meow?
Celest: Rosa, Sunny's trying to stop you from mentioning Jeffory!
Kris: Jeffory! *Starts crying again* Ugh....
Celest: Whoops.
Sunny: Oh, Kris! Shshshhhhh! *She goes over to Kris and hugs her* It's okay! Let me hold you!
(Zoe: So precious, oh my gawd TwT)
Celest: Kris, I'm so sorry, I—
Rosa: Alright Kris, that is enough! Where is that spunky girl who wants to kick my butt all the time? Come on, girl. Don't you want to fight?!
Sunny: Ugh, Rosa, now isn't the time. Can't you see that—
Kris: Ugh, that's it. Rosa, let's fight! *Kris starts walking towards Rosa*
Rosa: That's the spirit. Come at me, bro! We'll fight until your arms become marshmallows.
Kris: *She pauses* Jeffory... loved marshmallows. Wahahaha! *She starts crying again*
Rosa: You have to be kidding me!
Sunny: Ugh. Great job, Rosa. You made it worse. Aww, come here, Kris. Let my hugs punch away your feels.
Rosa: *Sighs* Sunny, we can't baby her through this!
Sunny: Aww, but she's so fluffy to hug.
Celest: Rosa, it's not babying. Kris needs our help, and we need to be there for her. Come on, Kris, let's cheer you up.
Rosa: *Sighs* I suppose you're right. It does break my heart to see Kris like this. We have to do something.
Kris: *Pausing in her crying* Alright. I guess.
Celest: That's the spirit, Kris.
Sunny: Hmm, so what are we going to do?
Celest: Oh, I've got it all figured out. Follow me.
Time skip to them all sitting at a table in the library.
Celest: We'll study!
Sunny: What?!
Rosa: Study?! You cannot be serious, Celest. I'm telling you I think the best thing to do right now is to find a new boy for Kris. You know, someone she can have fun with, and dump later.
Sunny: So, wait a minute. You're suggesting for Kris to solve her boy problems by getting with another boy? How does that make sense?
Rosa: She doesn't need to get with another boy, she just needs someone to take her mind off things. You know, a sweet distraction from her problems.
Sunny: Ah, you mean, like cupcakes!
Rosa: Exactly! Sunny gets it. A—Wait a minute, did you just say "cupcakes"?
Sunny: Uh huh, yeah! I love cupcakes! And they're such a nice distraction because they're so prettyful.
Rosa: Well, that's not exactly what I was going for, but, okay. I any case, uh *Sighs* Celest, are you sure this is going to work?
Celest: Of course I'm sure, Rosa. Studying always makes me feel better. It's sure to work for Kris, too. Who can think about boys when there are lessons to learn and essay questions to prepare for? Heh, I bet by the time we're done, Kris won't even remember what Jeffory even looks like!
Sunny: You know, Celest might be onto something. Math always makes me forget things.
Celest: Hmm, what was that? I wasn't listening. I was busy looking over these quadratic equations.
Kris: Oh, Jeffory loved this stupid math and numbers stuff. Ugh! *She throws her textbook, which hits Collusion*
Collusion is on the floor with a book in his paw hand, having just gotten hit.
Collusion: Ow! What?! Attacked by a geometry book? Ugh, am I still having that nightmare where zombie Pythagoras eats everyone, riding his giant murderous hypotangoose?
Sunny: *Coming over* Collusion! Oh, are you okay?! I'm-I'm sorry, Kris... doesn't know her own strength.
Collusion: Oh, it's you. I'm fine. Just tell your friend to be more careful. *He sniffles* It's bad enough I have to come in with a cold. Now back away, you stupid girl grass snake thing! *He gets up and leaves*
Sunny: I-I don't think this is working. We need to try something else.
Celest: Don't be obtuse, Sunny. Heheh.
Sunny: Oh Celest, that was acute pun. Ahahaha! *Snorts* Hehehe.
Rosa: If you ladies continue those puns, I'm going to turn you both into cats.
Sunny: *Sighs* Not all problems can be solved by turning people into cats, Rosa. Gawd.
Celest: Hmm, but maybe you're right. Katelyn isn't paying attention to any of this. We need to do something more active. You know, really get her moving. Ah ha! I've got it!
Time skip to the girls in PE clothes on a sand volleyball court, with Rosa and Celest on one side and Sunny and Kris on the other. Hugo is seen noticing the girls, and starts to walk towards them.
Celest: It's so obvious, why didn't I think of this first? Kris loves volleyball! Almost more than I love a good multiple choice question!
Rosa: Ugh, we get it! You're smart! Can we just play the walleyball point already?
Sunny: Walleyball?
Rosa: Whatever! You know what I mean! Let's just get this over with. These clothes are just the worst!
Celest: Right. Okay, Kris. It's our serve. Ready?
Kris: Jeffory practice volleyball with me.
Rosa: Oh, I remember going to a practice with Kris, and I saw Jeffory there and oh, he had his shirt off that day and his abs were—
Katelyn: *Starts noisily crying* Jeffory! *She cries some more. Sunny comes over to her, Katelyn blows her nose, and continues to cry*
Celest: Rosa!
Rosa: What?! It's hard not to look at the guy with the best toned abs in the school.
Sunny: *Blushing a lot* *Whispers* Mmm, well, I don't know if he's the best...
Celest: What did you say, Sunny?
Sunny: Uh— Nothing! I mean, I said I really need to study for an upcoming test! Heheh. So can we focus on Kris, here?
Rosa: You are right, Sunny. Now Kris, think you can pull yourself together long enough to get your butt kicked by me?
Kris: *Somewhat pulling herself together* I-I'll try. *She hits the volleyball, which goes really high in the sky and lands on Collusion, who moved outside to read his book after he left the library. He gets hit, and he's laying on the floor, and Sunny is coming over to him*
Collusion: AH!
Sunny: Oh no, not again! Collusion, again, I am so, so, sososo so sorry!
Back to the girls, where Garroth finally arrived.
Hugo: Oh hey ladies. Is- is something going on?
Celest: Don't ask. Ugh.
Hugo: Kris, why are you crying?
Kris: Because I can do whatever I want!
Back with Sunny and Collusion.
Collusion: *In his When Angels Fall voice* You'd better be sorry! I just want to read my book alone IN PEACE! But you and your dumb friend over there keep bothering me today! I'm about to show her what's—
Sunny: Huh? Collusion?
Collusion: WHAT?!
Sunny: Your voice.
Collusion: What about it?
Sunny: It... sounds different.
Collusion: It... It does?
Sunny: Yeah, it does. It... kinda sounds really nice, too.
Collusion: You think so?
Sunny: Yeah, it's cool. In any case, I'm really sorry, Zane. Uh— please forgive Katelyn. She's really going through a hard time. I-I'll make sure to keep her away from you from now on. I promise.
Collusion: Hmph. Fine, you'd better. But this is the last warning!
Sunny: Hm? Gotcha. See you later! *She walks off*
Collusion: Wait, what happened to my voice? She said it was... nice? Hmm...
Meanwhile back at the volleyball court. Kris is humming and laughing, and is a lot less sad than she normally is.
Kris: *hums happily* *giggles*
Sunny: Huh? Did— something happen while I was gone? Katelyn seems happier.
Rosa: Hugo had a talk with Kris and then gave her a cupcake.
Celest: Seems like cupcakes actually work.
Sunny: Are you kidding me! I- I- I did that earlier!
Kris: Yeah, but Hugo did it with this goofy voice.
Sunny: Heh, Kris! You sound a lot better!
Kris: For now. Hugo and I had a small talk. Kinda miss hanging out with that dork.
Rosa: It's been awhile since—
Celest: Rosa!
Sunny: In any case, I'm glad you're feeling better, Kris. I'm... sorry my cupcake wasn't as good as—
Kris: Your cupcakes are always good, Sunny. And your hugs from earlier were the best.
Sunny: Aww, Kris!
Kris: Come on. Let's go play volleyball so I can school you losers in it.
Rosa: There's the Kris I know.
Sunny: Heh, Yeah! Also, if you aren't going to eat that cupcake, can I have it?
Kris: No.
