== Episode ==
=== Scene 1 ===
South Park Elementary, cafeteria, lunchtime. At a table sits the main four, with Robyn and Butters. Three kids are on each side of the table.
Robyn: Who are you guys taking to the school dance? You first, Kenny.
Kenny: (I promised Kiara I’d take her.)
Robyn: That’s a good choice. What about you, Kyle?
Kyle: Oh, I’m not taking anyone. I’ll probably just be there to hang out.
Cartman: What’s the point of going if you’re not bringing a date, Kahl? 
Kyle: I just said that I’ll-
Cartman: You wanna know what I think? I think you got rejected by a few girls and got your heartbroken, so your final decision was to stay at home until your bitchy mom told you to get your ass out of the house, so now you’re going to the dance just so your mom won’t have to beat you.
Kyle: First of all, none of that happened. Second of all, who are you taking, fatass?
Cartman: I’ll be hanging out with the guys. 
Kyle: Dude, that’s what I said.
Cartman: Exactly, but the difference was that I actually planned to do what I was going to do while you didn’t because you’re afraid of your psycho mother.
Kyle: Blow it up your ass, Cartman. And stop talking shit about my mom.
Robyn: [looks at Butters] Who are you taking, Butters?
Butters: Oh, I’m just going to have fun with friends.
Kyla: [nods and looks over at Stan] You going with Wendy?
Stan: Yeah, I’m hoping to. I just hope she’s not busy with anything dealing with school. 
Robyn: She’ll definitely go with you.
The girls table, Wendy and the other girls are eating and talking.
Bebe: Did you guys hear about the school dance this weekend?
Annie: Yeah, I heard about it yesterday from Butters. People are all ready getting prepared.
Nichole: I actually bought my dress for the dance yesterday. 
Bebe: I already have my dress, jewelry, shoes and makeup.
Nichole: Yeah! And we’re all going to have so much fun! 
Wendy: We? Um, guys, sorry to rain on your parade, but I actually can’t go to the dance. 
Bebe: Why?
Wendy: I have a lot of stuff to do! I have to work on formations and choreography for the cheerleading squad, provide leadership to class members… I don’t see the point of going to a dance when I have a lot of tasks. 
Red: But- you should come! We’re all going and you’ll be the only one left out. 
Wendy: I’m sorry if I’m disappointing you guys and I’m sorry that I’m being a leader, but that’s just how it’s gonna be. 
Nichole: Do you know if Stan’s going? 
Wendy: I.. don’t know. If he is going, that won’t change the fact that I’ll have to throw away my plans and go to the dance with him. 
Bebe: So it’s like that? You want to do boring work on Saturday on not hang out with your friends? 
Wendy: Bebe, it’s not boring. You know I’m the captain of the volleyball and cheerleading team and I have to figure out what we’re gonna do. 
Bebe: You could do that next week! 
Wendy: No, I can’t and I won’t. 
Bebe: [sighs] Who’s gonna break the news to Stan? 
Annie: I’ll do it. [leaves her table and goes to Stan’s table, looking at him] Hi, Stan. 
Stan: Oh, hey. What’s up? 
Butters: Hiya, Ann! 
Annie: [looks and sees Butters] Hey, Butters! [looks back at Stan] I have bad news for you. You see, Wendy’s not going to the dance on Saturday. 
Stan: ..Oh. I mean, it’s okay. I can just go with my friends. 
Annie: Wow. You aren’t sad? 
Stan: No? Why would I be? 
Annie: B-Because Wendy isn’t going to the- 
Cartman: See? He doesn’t care about going to a dumb dance with a dumb girl who’s on her period 24/7. 
Robyn: Okay, I wouldn’t say all that. 
Kyle: [rolls his eyes and looks at Annie] Annie, he’ll be with us. Tell Wendy it’s fine. 
Annie: Okay! 
Kenny: (You sure you’re okay, dude?) 
Stan: Dude, if she’s busy, she’s busy. I don’t care.

=== Scene 2 ===
The Testaburger Residence, Wendy is in her room sitting on her bed, writing something down.
Wendy: Second task completed! 
Mrs. Testaburger: [walks in Wendy’s room] Wendy?
Wendy: Yeah?
Mrs. Testaburger: Honey, I heard from Bebe’s mother that they’re all going to a dance on Saturday and you aren’t.
Wendy: Mom, you know I have a lot of things to do. This is a need. I need to figure out what I’m going to have planned for cheerleading practice. I need to figure out what I’m going to say on the morning announcements on Monday. 
Mrs. Testaburger: ..Okay. Well me and your father will be out that day. If you change your mind, make sure to lock the front door.
Wendy: Okay, mom. [her mom leaves the room] Ugh. For crying out loud. Don’t they understand that I’m busy? Geez. [yawns] I guess a nap won’t hurt. [lays down on the bed and closes her eyes, then slowly falls asleep]

=== Scene 3/Dream ===
Wendy is still laying on her bed, until she hears two girls chanting “Wenderella, Wenderella”. She wakes up and sees Heidi and Nichole next to her.
Wendy: [tiredly] What happened?
Nichole: Wenderella, you promised to go with me to send a basket of vegetables to The McCormicks. I went there alone. 
Heidi: And you told me that you were going to make dinner. 
Wendy: I’m sorry, guys. I’ve been working around so much lately. 
Nichole: You can always stop, you know. 
Wendy: There’s no need for stopping. I never stop. 
Heidi: See? That’s the problem. You never stop! 
Someone knocks on the front door. 
Annie: I got it! [walks to the door and opens it, looking at Cartman] Huh? 
Cartman: [rolls his eyes and sighs] Greetings, ladies. I am a palace messenger for Prince Stanley Marsh. He’s hosting a ball tonight and is inviting you all. 
Annie: [gasps] Really?! 
Cartman: Yeah. [mumbles] This is exactly why I hate my goddamn job. 
Annie: Red! Bebe! We’re invited to a ball at Prince Stanley’s! 
Red: Oh my god, really? 
Annie: Really! 
Bebe: Ooh, I can’t wait to tell Wenderella! [runs upstairs quickly] 
Cartman: What the fuck kind of name is Wenderella? 
Annie: ..Don’t ask. 
Bebe: [arrives in Wendy’s room] Wenderella, we’re invited to a ball hosted by Prince Stanley!
Wendy: Prince Stanley?
Nichole: Oh, right! I heard something about a ball from Tammy.
Wendy: That’s great! Unfortunately, I’m not going to the ball. You girls can have fun without me though! 
Heidi: C’mon, Wenderella! You have to come!
Wendy: You can beg all you want. I’m still not going.
Bebe: Wenderella, are you sure? We wouldn’t want to leave you here alone, you know. We’re your friends.
Wendy: Girls, I have chores to do. They can’t do themselves!
Bebe: If you say so. We won’t mention it again.
Heidi: Bye, Wenderella.
Nichole: Bye! 
The girls leave Wendy’s room, immediately changing their attitude.
Heidi: Ugh, why is she such a downer?
Nichole: She’s so boring now, it’s not fun!
Bebe: Let’s just let her do her boring shit then. After all, we’re going to have a fun time. She isn’t.

Wendy: [finishes sweeping the floor] Sweeping the floor, completed! I have fifteen more to do and then I’m free for the day. Let’s see here…
All of a sudden, Robyn appears, wearing a hooded cloak. She rolls her eyes and snaps her fingers; Kiara then appears in a hooded cloak too.
Robyn: Why do you always take so long? You see we have a job to do! 
Kiara: Hey, it’s not like I wanted to take this job. I had no choice. 
Wendy: Huh? [turns around and sees them] Who are you two?
Robyn: Who are we? Well I’m your fairy godmother. She’s the assistant.
Kiara: What she said.
Wendy: Fairy godmother? Ehhh.. the way you dress throws me off. 
Robyn: Seriously? This cloak throws you off? Look- I’m here to encourage you to go to that ball.
Wendy: I’m busy. I have like fifteen more chores to do.
Robyn: [smirks and looks at Kiara] Kiara.
Kiara: Ugh. [goes to Wendy’s desk and takes the paper, tearing it into bits] Oops.
Wendy: ..My list of chores! Now I’ll forget what to do because of you two strangers!
Robyn: Hey, that was step one. Now for step two… get you something to wear. Something that all the boys will like.
Kiara: Yeah. How about… all black?
Robyn: No, not all black. How about blue..- no, green. Maybe yellow?
Kiara: Bloody red?
Robyn: That wouldn’t match her. Just look at her.
Wendy: [gets annoyed] Ugh. Purple?
Kiara: Oh, yeah. Purple fits her. Let’s get her purple shoes too while we’re at it.
Robyn: Okay. Step two, done. Now for step three… let her wear the clothes. 
Wendy: Where are they?
Kiara: [snaps her fingers, is now holding a pair of purple heels and dress] Here you go. [hands them to Wendy]
Wendy: [takes them] ..Thanks.
Robyn: Try them on. We’ll look away.
Wendy: What’s the point of going to a school dance if you’re busy?
Kiara: [looks down] Exactly.
Robyn: [looks away] What’s the point of doing things and you don’t have anything to do?
Wendy: Good point. [is changing into the dress] Are you my permanent fairy godmother?
Robyn: No. I help tons of people. I just decided to go to you first because it seemed like you needed me here.
Wendy: [puts the shoes on] Is that so?
Robyn: Yeah. That’s so. [looks at Wendy] You look pretty! But wait..- that hair is just-
Wendy: What about it? 
Kiara: Uhhh, I think she wants you to wear your hair down. 
Wendy: Hm, okay. [takes the rubber band out of her hair, letting her hair hang] 
Robyn: You look so gorgeous. That Prince will be all over you.
Wendy; Stan? Oh no, he wouldn’t be into me.
Robyn: You’ll regret saying that once you get there. 
Wendy: How will I get there?
Robyn: We have a carriage already outside for you. 
Kiara: Yeah. We paid this guy to take you there.
Wendy: Okay! Thank you guys, I guess. I didn’t really plan on going- but thank you.

At Prince Stanley’s palace, the ball had already begun. There were people dancing with others. Stan is looking at the girls, sighing at the fact that he has no girlfriend yet.
Stan: Man, it’s so hard to find the right one.
Randy: [goes to him] Stanley, what’s the matter?
Stan: I don’t know who to dance with, dad.
Randy: Dance with multiple girls until you can find the right one to be yours. You know, don’t be such a wuss. This is your ball. 
Stan: Yeah, because you forced me-
Randy: Stanley! 
Stan rolls his eyes and walks to the girls, smiling at them.
Annie: Hi, Prince Stanley!
Stan: Please, call me Stan. 
Bebe: This ball is just outstanding, Stan. You know, we tried to convince our friend to come but she chose to stay at home and do her chores.
Red: It’s like she loves doing chores. She never wants to have fun anymore.
Stan: [shrugs] I mean, if she wants to do it, let her do it.
Heidi: That’s what I was saying. 
Nichole: Soooo.. do you want to dance with one of us?
Stan: Oh! Um, yeah. 
Annie: Me first! [smiles at him]
Stan: O-Okay.

A moment later, the coachman stops in front of Prince Stan’s palace. Wendy gets out of the carriage and looks at the palace.
Wendy: Wow. This is his palace.
Butters: Yep! It’s neat, huh?
Wendy: It’s really beautiful. [looks back at Robyn and Kiara] When the ball ends, I’ll tell you guys how I felt about it.
Kiara: Whatever.
Robyn: Just get in there and have fun. You sure do need it.
Wendy: [nods and stops in front of the doors, opens them, walking inside] Hmm.. 
Stan: [finishes dancing with Red, getting dizzy] Oh, god- I think I need to sit down. [let’s go of her] 
Red: Don’t worry. Just rest for a bit, then get back up and dance! 
Stan: [goes to one of his friends] Dude, those girls are fucking weird- 
Kyle: I know, dude. One of them complimented my ass. 
Stan: But it’s like- woah, really? Gross. 
Kyle: Exactly, dude. 
Stan: It’s like, they’re pretty and all, but they’re not what I’m looking for. 
Kyle: Well what are you looking for? 
Stan: I don’t know, but someone who isn’t needy or touchy. Someone who respects my privacy. Someone who’s just calm, you know? 
Wendy: [walks in the ballroom] 
Kyle: [sees someone] Woah, look at her! 
Stan: [looks and blushes] She looks so… 
Kenny: (So hot that you can fuck her senseless against a wall?) 
Kyle: …Kenny, do me a favor and don’t speak for the remainder of the day. Okay? 
Kenny: [shrugs] (Okay, but she is pretty hot.) 
Stan: She’s just so beautiful. 
Kyle: Go talk to her, dude. 
Stan: [nods and goes to Wendy] Uhh.. hey! Uhhh.. I’m Prince Sta- 
Wendy: I know who you are. 
Stan: ..You can call me Stan for short. 
Wendy: Okay, Stan. 
Stan: Great! So ummm.. would you like to dance? 
Wendy: With me? Why would you want to dance with me? 
Stan: I’ve seen other girls here, but I can see something different in you. Your beauty isn’t covering any of your personality. 
Wendy: Is that so? 
Stan: Yeah. Let’s dance! [holds her hand and walks to the dance floor] 
Wendy: [follows and looks at her friends] Did you dance with them? 
Stan: Huh? Oh, yeah. They’re cute and all, but not as cute as you. No offense to them by the way. 
Heidi: [looks at them] Who’s that? 
Annie: I don’t know. Whoever she is, she’s pretty. 
Nichole: She looks almost like Wenderella. Don’t you guys think? 
Red: Hey, yeah! Should we ask her name? 
Bebe: Girls, if it is Wenderella, let her have her fun. She needs to get out of her house anyway. 
Annie: Yeah, you’re right. 
Stan: [dancing with Wendy] So, what’s your name? 
Wendy: Wenderella. 
Stan: Oh? That’s a pretty… unusual name. Can I call you Wendy? 
Wendy: Sure! [smiles] 
Stan: Nice. Sooo.. do you want to maybe, hang out? In my palace? With me?- 
Wendy: I’d love to! 
- 
After the ball, everyone walks out of the palace. Wendy goes to the carriage and looks at the three. 
Wendy: Guys! Tonight was so much fun! 
Robyn: See? I told you you’d have a good time tonight. 
Wendy: Yeah, you were right. 
Butters: Maybe you should go to balls more often! As long as you don’t do anything crazy. 
Robyn: What, like you almost did that time we were at my friend’s party for fairy godmothers and godfathers? 
Butters: …Yeah! Like that time! 
Kiara: [rolls her eyes] Can we go now? 
Robyn: Okay, grumpy. Bye, Wenderella. 
Wendy: Bye! 
Robyn snaps her fingers; she, Kiara, Butters, the horses and carriage has disappeared. Wendy turns around and sees her friends approach her. 
Nichole: Oh my gosh, Wenderella! What did the Prince say to you? 
Annie: Did he ask you to marry him? 
Wendy: He just said to come back to his palace and hang out with him sometime. 
Bebe: Will you do it? 
Wendy: Yeah, I will.

=== Scene 4 ===
Wendy wakes up and rubs her eyes. She gets out of bed and grabs her phone, calling Stan.
Stan: [answers] Hello?
Wendy: I’m going with you to the dance. 
Stan: Sweet! I can’t wait for us to have a good time.
Wendy: I can’t wait too, Stan. You’re so cute when you’re excited.
Stan: Thanks. Uhh, listen, I gotta go. Cartman’s gonna eat all the McDonald’s my mom got for us.
Kyle: [offscreen] Cartman! Don’t eat Kenny’s chicken nuggets! You already have some on your plate! 
Cartman: Aw, c’mon. Kinny doesn’t want his food. He’s used to eating pop tarts and waffles. 
Kenny: (Fuck you, dude.) [takes his plate away]
Wendy: [chuckles] Bye, Stan.
Stan: Bye, Wendy. [hangs up]
Wendy: [puts her phone down and walks out of her room] ..At least I have the cheerleading and volleyball stuff done, right? [sighs]
