It is revealed by Shahina that Sarah has a boyfriend. the sisters join the female members of the party in the hot springs where they get to know them and Risette Twinings who has joined them.The pair are placed in the protective custody of the Bracer Guild after Sarah receives a threatening letter.
Shahina is captured by men under the influence of an orbal drug and taken deep into the Shirin Desert with Marielle Aymé. Van and the party follow the car tracks and rescue her. On her way to VegasFilm for a meeting, Sarah is taken captive by Gaspar Dillon requiring the party to investigate and track her down to the secret floor of VegasFilm where they rescue her. With the Foxy Parade in jeopardy without its star attraction, Shahina pleads with director Salvatore Gotch to take her sister's place, working extremely hard to meet his standards.

When Shahina falls under the influence of the drug and Oct-Genesis at the parade, Sarah uses her own dance to bring her sister back to her senses. Thanks to their efforts, they are able to fulfil all the debts in one go.
Van and the party welcome the sisters to Edith in the Intermission. They plan on going to see an orbal movie but lose track of time and only make it when Van offers to drive them there in his truck. He dodges pursuers and takes an unorthodox route to ensure they make it there in time.
Free of their debt and now invited to star in one of Gotch's films, the sisters are invited to Edith until Revolution Day. They are invited to the party at the Montmart Bistro. Sarah and Shahina help Feri Al-Fayed with singing and dancing lessons so she can perform in a ceremony back at home in the New year.
