The teacher says "I have just now received word that two will be selected by vote to enter a dance battle in the virtual game 'Just Dance'. The song will also be selected by vote, your song options are 'Everybody Dance Now', 'Wannabe', and 'Walking After Midnight'. Please cast your votes. Everybody votes. The teacher starts explaining "The song chosen is 'Walking After Midnight' by Patsy Cline, and the two entering the dance battle are the fashionista and the vaudevillian." The lights go out you hear two screams and when they go back on, Elizabeth and Esha are gone.

"Welcome to the dance studio, in this studio is a television with a 'Just Dance' game setting on it. Your song was chosen to be 'Walking After Midnight' by Patsy Cline. So you will dance and the person with less points will be attacked by me, and if you didn't know I'm an assassin. You may begin." Says the assassin.

Elizabeth and Esha both run to the television, pick up the remotes, and the music starts so they start dancing. They make it about halfway through when it speeds up and throws Elizabeth off-track but Esha is able to keep up because she's been practicing dance. Esha is ahead by a lot but Lizzy seems to be getting on track again and Esha isn't going to let that happen. They are almost done the dance until all of a sudden, rocks start getting thrown at them, and there's a fan turned on that's distracting them so that's throwing them off track too. They finally finish the dance and Esha got five stars when Elizabeth only got three. The assassin sprints over to Elizabeth with her samurai sword and slices her across the stomach. She gives Esha a green feather along with an orange gemstone, she says "The gemstone will help you in the future."

The assassin brings Esha back to the classroom and she puts the feather into the next slot and the gem on to the desk.
The teacher says "So it's true?"
Esha responds "Huh?"
The teacher starts explaining "The mirror requires seven gems in order for it to work." Haylee responds with "You're fucking kidding me right?"
