The Valentine's Day Dance

**The Valentine's Day Dance** is an episode of The Number Yoshis. Its sister episode is Two And The Pot At The End Of The Rainbow.

## Summary

The Number Yoshis help a nervous Shy Guy greet his date at the Mushroom Kingdom's Valentine's Day dance.

## Plot

The episode starts with Six reading a magazine about dice. While he is reading, he sees an ad involving the Mushroom Kingdom's first annual Valentine's Day dance. Six then sees another ad; this time, it appears as a 'help' ad. Five asks Six what he is reading, and Six tells Five that it is a magazine about dice. He then tells her about the ad, and Five agrees to join Six in helping whoever is nervous to "go to the dance". The rest of the Number Yoshis join Five and Six after Five calls the Shy Guy via a holographic phone.

We now see the Number Yoshis, after launching out of the Launcher Room from the couch and into the Real World, in the city. Six notices a midget-sized Shy Guy wearing a bowtie, and Five tells Six that she will talk to the Shy Guy. After a minute of asking questions, Five helps the Shy Guy out by pretending to be his date for the dance after he suggests so.

Meanwhile, Six (who is wearing a mustache), Seven and Eight (who is wearing a top hat, a monocle and a mustache) are at a bouquet store, looking for flowers. When Eight brings up (in a fake but strong British accent) that Daisy, the Shy Guy's date, (referred to as "Rita") is allergic to flowers, Seven suggests that the three go to a boutique store. Six, Seven and Eight go, and spot One, Two, Zero, Three, Four and a blindfolded Nine at the hats section. Zero is putting on all types of hats on Nine, and when Seven spots Daisy at the window, gazing in awe at a hat that Nine is seen wearing, she learns that Daisy likes hats with feathers. Six suggests that they get the hat for "Rita", and they do.

The nine Number Yoshis arrive at the restaurant that Five and the Shy Guy are at. The Shy Guy excuses himself and leaves, and Five gets up to use the restroom. Four tells the Shy Guy that they noticed his date looking at "a hat with feathers" with amazement. The Shy Guy takes the hat and thanks Four, rushing to a school where the Valentine's Day dance is being held.

When the Number Yoshis go to the school, they see the Shy Guy greeting Daisy with the hat that he took from Four. An overjoyed Daisy hugs and kisses the Shy Guy, and the episode ends with the Number Yoshis watching the two dance.
