211. Return to the Ballroom
Amy steps into the ballroom and discovers a full ball already in progress. The way the house has changed since making herself up like Lady Stephenson, Amy would almost have been disappointed if there weren't a lavish affair going on. All around her couples in elegant ballgowns and old-fashioned men's finery are twirling about each other in intricate formations. And this time, Amy is dressed for the part.
Amy can only stare in wonder at the marvel before her. Right in front of her, a ball, essentially in her honor! A lifetime of Disney movies and wishes that she could be a princess seem finally to have come true. And, from out of the crowd, a handsome young gentleman appears. He makes eye contact with Amy and she blushes. He walks over and extends his hand.
“Huh!” sniffs a voice in Amy's head, “I wouldn't touch that slimy toad with someone else's ten foot pole!”
Should Amy take the handsome stranger's hand?
