About a month later, Leela got an invitation from her parents.

It read, "You are invited to the 100th anniversary ball of Tauras and Diamond Traveling Circus."

Leela told Launchpad all about it.

He agreed to be her plus one.

The night of the ball, Launchpad put on his best tux and was ready to go.

He went to McDuck Manor to pick up Leela.

Duckworth let him in.

Leela walked down the steps and Launchpad was speechless.

"Wow

"Wow. Your the most beautiful thing I have ever seen." He said.

She smiled. 

"Thank you, Launchpad. And you are the most handsome thing I have ever seen." She said.

"Aw shucks. This old thing?" He asked, bashfully.

They then hopped in the car and drove off.

They arrived at the Grand Refectory where the party was going on.

Her parents were waiting outside, greeting the other guests.

Launchpad and Leela walked over to them.

"Leela, you look wonderful. You look so grown up." Anthony said.

"Thank you, dad." She said, smiling.

"Launchpad, good to see you again." He said.

"Good to see you too, Mr. Tauras." Launchpad said, shaking his hand.

"And you, Mrs. Tauras." He said, shaking her hand.

"Likewise. Now, come inside. You will love this place." Maggie said.

They all made their way to the ball room.

The room was all golden and Victorian. 

Everyone dressed so formal and dancing.

"May I have this dance, Milady?" Launchpad asked, putting out his hand.

"I would be delighted." Leela said, taking his hand.

They walked to the center of the dance floor and danced the night away.
