"dustin, lucas, come on!" mike ran upstairs.

he went in his room and saw the two kissing.

"guys let's—oh...okay..."

the two boys jumped apart.

"shit!"

"wow...um...we're getting ready to leave, so i'll..."

mike stepped back and bumped into his dresser.

"ow...um, i'll be downstairs."

he pointed to the door behind him, then ran out of it and went down the stairs.

"what happened? are they okay?" will asked.

"yeah, they're great. amazing. their lips seem to be...doing good too..."

"what're you talking about, mike?" max rolled her eyes.

mike put his two hands in front of him. he made his thumbs touch his fingers and then made his hands touch each other.

"what even is that?" jane asked.

"oh my god, they were making out!" mike yelled.

will, jane, and max were silent.

"hi guys." lucas awkwardly walked down the stairs with dustin behind him.

"hey."

the room was silent again.

"we should...we should go." will suggested.

"oh, yeah, let's do this!" dustin exclaimed.

the three made there way to the door, only to be stopped by karen.

"wait, guys! i need pictures."

"mom, no!" mike groaned.

"yes, michael! pictures are important!" karen exclaimed.

will sighed and closed the door. after many, many pictures, karen finally let them go.

"bye kids! be safe! no alcohol!" karen reminded.

"we got it, mom!"

the six friends piled into will's car and they drove to the dance.

"why does jane get to sit up front?" mike whined.

"because my dress will get ruined in the back seat." jane responded.

"ruined by what?" mike asked.

"someone accidentally sitting on it or stepping on it." jane replied.

"it's not even that long." mike argued.

"just shut up! we're almost there!" max exclaimed and everyone stopped talking.

they got inside and handed mr. g their tickets.

"hm. pretty bold of all of you to come as couples." mr. g wrote down their names.

"yeah, well, love overpowers all." will shrugged

"it especially overpowers homophobia." max added.

"i guess you kids are right. go in and have fun." mr. g smiled.

"thanks, mr. g."

the kids went in and took a group photo then went onto the dance floor.

"this is definitely bigger than any snowball i've ever been too." dustin looked around.

"yeah, well, this isn't the snowball." lucas replied.

"who cares! let's go!"

jane dragged her friends to the dance floor and they all started dancing in a group.

at the entrance of the gym, jade stood there looking out. she was wearing a tank top with a skirt and fishnet tights with her black and blue hair straightened around her face.

"would you like to take a photo?" the photographer asked.

"no." jade scoffed.

jade then walked forward towards the dance floor. she spotted mike and the rest the group and went over to them.

"mike. locker room. now." she demanded.

"excuse me, you can't just go around demanding people." will folded his arms.

"also, what're you wearing." jane looked her up and down.

"wait, your outfit is actually nice, i like it." max nodded.

"obviously it's nice." jade rolled her eyes. "mike, now."

"what's your attitude?" max stepped closer.

"max, stop." lucas whispered and dustin grabbed her shoulder.

"fine, jay, let's talk." mike sighed.

"mike..." will trailed off.

mike gave will a look, then went to the locker room to talk with jade.

"listen j—."

"why do you hate me?" jade cut him off.

"uh, what?" mike asked.

"you haven't talked to me in weeks!" jade exclaimed.

"i don't hate you, jade. i just got back together with will and to tell you the truth, he isn't a big fan of you, which is not completely invalid, but i don't hate you. you were there for me when i was at such a low point in my life, jade, and i. sorry i haven't talked to you. also, you did kind of beat max up..."

"technically, she did make out with my girlfriend...well, girlfriend at the time." jade frowned.

"you know what, i'm going to help you get sam back."  mike smiled.

"what?"

"yup. like i said before, you were the one who picked me up when i was at a low point and now it's time i return the favor. also, i'm kind of an expert at fixing relationships." mike winked.

"okay, wheeler, what's the plan?" jade
smirked.
