- Hi. Pedestrian.
Otherwise known as Simone.
JACK: Even though I missed the deadline
of the Danceshark campaign, it was all worth it
for this photo of beauty Mia Banks.
- I was thinking, I'd like to dance.
- With me? - Yeah, you.
And everybody. - Right. Sure.
- Hi, I'm Adrian.
- You might be my soul mate.
- Wizen books.
- They are there because you drained those Wizens.
It's given you access to their Wizen frequency.

It happens every year to raise money
for the school scholarship fund.
- That is so cool.
And I have an even better idea.
Ready?
What if we do a charity gala of our own?
We can build on our dance lesson from Vidtik.
But bigger, like an actual prom.
- I love it.
- A prom?
But why?
That's so American.
- I know. Isn't it awesome?
Come on, let's brainstorm.
We have to pitch this to Armando today.
SIMONE: Okay.
Prom means disco ball.
- Of course.
We need snacks.

Decorations?
CECE: Oh, yes!

Okay. Get this.
It's a dance-a-thon meets a proper American prom.
A prom-a-thon. It's a fundraiser.
And because you guys don't do proms here,
everyone gets the chance to experience one,
like the kind you see in the movies.
- It's for such an important cause.
Some marginalized communities don't have access
to tights, leotards, shoes, or lessons.
- Sure. MIA: Sir, I had
my initial reservations, and I'm sure
you're as concerned about injury as I am,
which is why I've created
the student body rotation chart.
The blue squares are rest blocks.

Will you tell that little joke to Mia?

CECE: I wish Benoit would just come out and ask me.

CECE: So why doesn't he just come out and ask me, then?
He sent a cryptic text message.
It said, "You look pretty witchy."
- On Halloween. In a witch costume.
CECE: Then he said he wanted to dance.
And I thought he meant with me,
but he just spent that zombie dance
with everyone else.
So I'm worried that we've kind of
fallen into the friend zone.
But then he asked if I wanted to dance with him
outside of class sometime.
- Did you say yes? - Of course.
- Oh!
Double heart emoji!
- Not so fast.
It sounds like he's messing with you.
- Really? - No.
He's not.
He's just shy and awkward.
- Do you have any references on this guy?
- If he's shy, he might not be able to express his crush.
- Or he's not a nice guy.
- He is a nice guy.
Why don't I just text him and tell him to ask you?
Then you don't have to wait. - No!
He has to ask me 'cause he wants to,
not because you tell him.
- Fine. I was just being polite.
How long are we gonna do this chitchat thing?
'Cause I really want to watch a movie.

It's not really movie night.
We just call it movie night.
It's really a girls' gossip night.
