Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena tear Amy, Sally, and Cosmo's dresses

At the living room, Sailor Galaxia, Eggman, Faline, Clarice, Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena walked downstairs ready to go to the ball.

Sailor Galaxia was now wearing a royal blue ball gown with matching shoes, pink silk gloves, and a purple beaded necklace, along with a dark gray shawl with a hood.

Eggman was now wearing a black tuxedo, matching trousers, a white dress shirt, a dark gray waistcoat, a red bow tie, a real pink corsage on the left side of his shirt, black dancing shoes, and a matching top hat with a red ribbon

Faline was now wearing a royal sky-blue ball gown with matching shoes made for hooves, silk gloves also made for hooves, a beaded necklace, and a feather with beads in her fur-hair.

Clarice was now wearing a royal red ball gown with matching shoes made for hooves, silk gloves also made for hooves, a beaded necklace, and a feather with beads in her fur-hair.

Mertle was now wearing a royal lime green ball gown with matching shoes, silk gloves, white bloomers, a lime green beaded necklace, and a matching feather with beads in her hair.

Yuki was now wearing a royal light green ball gown with matching shoes, silk gloves, white bloomers, a light green beaded necklace, and a matching feather with beads in her hair.

Teresa was now wearing a royal indigo ball gown with matching shoes, silk gloves, white bloomers, an indigo beaded necklace, and a matching feather with beads in her hair.

Elena was now wearing a royal pink ball gown with matching shoes, silk gloves, white bloomers, a pink beaded necklace, and a matching feather with beads in her hair.

As Eggman opened the door, he told the girls one more thing they need to remember, "Now remember, when you're presented to their Highnesses, be sure to--"

"Wait!" A voice called. It was Amy, who was now wearing her jade party dress with the matching shoes, beaded necklace, and bloomers. Sally and Cosmo joined her, now wearing their purple party dress with the matching shoes, beaded necklace, and bloomers and aquamarine party dress with the matching shoes, beaded necklace, and bloomers respectively. They were also carrying a jade purse, a purple purse, and an aquamarine purse to match the party outfits, "Please, wait for us!" Amy called out, "Aren't they lovely?"

"Do you like them?" asked Sally.

"Do you think they will do?" asked Cosmo

Sailor Galaxia, Eggman, Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena were stunned to see Amy, Sally, and Cosmo in their respective jade, purple, and aquamarine party outfits. But Silver, Charmy, and the Mobians watched down from the stairs, smiling. Even Faline and Clarice were impressed.

"Wow, girls!" said Faline, as she and Clarice pulled themselves together, "You three look very beautiful!"

"And since you have done all your chores and found something nice to wear, you may go to the ball with us." said Clarice.

Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena, however, did not like Amy, Sally, and Cosmo's dresses because they thought they were thieves, for they saw that their belongings were sewn on their own dresses.

"Amy Rose?!" Mertle gasped in shock.

"Sally Acorn?!" Teresa gasped in shock.

"Cosmo the Seedrian?!" Yuki gasped in shock.

"Mom, dad, they can't!" Elena added, and she, Mertle, Yuki, and Teresa panicked as Faline and Clarice stepped back in fear.

"Girls! Please!" Eggman demanded, and Sailor Galaxia said, "After all, we *did* make a bargain. Didn't we, girls?" Amy, Sally, and Cosmo smiled, and Sailor Galaxia and Eggman slowly walked towards them. "And I never go back on my word." Sailor Galaxia continued. The girls gulped in fear as Eggman grinned, "How very clever."

"Wait a minute, there's something strange going on." Silver added curiously.

"These beads. They give it just the right touch." Sailor Galaxia said. Amy, Sally, and Cosmo just smiled.

"Well, they *do* look pretty on us." said Cosmo, feeling quite flattered.

"Don't *you* think so, Mertle?" Sailor Galaxia asked.

"No, I don't. *I* think she's--" Mertle said angrily, but she gasped, realizing those were *her* jade beads, along with the purple and aquamarine beads, who were *Teresa* and *Yuki's* respectively, and Mertle exclaimed, "Ugh! Why you little thieves!"

"What're you...?" Faline and Clarice asked in concern.

"They are not!" Charmy shouted, marching towards the red-haired girl, about to fight, only to get his vest pulled by Silver. "They're *my* beads!" Mertle shouted.

"And those are *my* beads, too!" Teresa called out.

"And *mine*!" added Yuki.

"Give those *here!*" Mertle ordered, as she, Teresa, and Yuki snatched the beads, breaking them off and scaring poor little Amy, Sally, and Cosmo.

"Oh, no!" Amy exclaimed, clutching her neck.

"Oh my goodness!" Sally exclaimed, also clutching her neck.

"Oh, dear!" Cosmo exclaimed, clutching her neck, too.

Even Faline and Clarice were shocked.

"Oh, and look! That's *my* sash! Wearing *my* sash! She can't!" Elena yelled, ripping her aquamarine sash off Cosmo's dress, as well as ripping her jade and purple sashes off Amy and Sally's respective dresses. Soon, Mertle, Yuki, and Teresa joined her.

"Please, no!" Amy sobbed.

"Don't!" Sally sobbed.

"Please, stop! You're hurting our feelings!" Cosmo sobbed.

As Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena continued tearing Amy, Sally, and Cosmo's own dresses, the female pink hedgehog, the female squirrel/chipmunk hybrid, and the female green Seedrian panicked, crying as Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena called them derogatory names, like "thieves" and "ungrateful."

"Make them stop!" Clarice and Faline begged Sailor Galaxia and Eggman, and they calmly agreed with calm, evil smirks.

"Girls, girls! That's quite enough." Eggman demanded with a calm, haughty look. Even Sailor Galaxia gave a calm, haughty look. He opened the door, and the girls walked outside in a haughty way, except Faline and Clarice, who feel sorry for Amy, Sally, and Cosmo.

"Sorry about that, girls." Faline said, as she turned to her stepsisters, looking at them sorrowfully and sadly.

"Yes," said Clarice, turning to Amy, Sally, and Cosmo and looking at them sorrowfully and sadly. "We are very sorry."

Then they walked outside, catching up with Mertle, Yuki, Teresa, and Elena, who were in the carriage.

"Hurry along now, all of you." Sailor Galaxia said, "We won't have you upsetting yourselves."

"Thank! YOU!" snapped Elena, as she turned to Amy, Sally, and Cosmo and stomped her foot on "YOU" before turning her back on her and leaving.

Sailor Galaxia and Eggman turned to Amy, Sally, and Cosmo, who were now standing in their ruined dresses, and they said, "Good night."

As Sailor Galaxia and Eggman closed the door, Amy, Sally, and Cosmo gasped in fear. Then they started crying, running to the garden, and sobbing with Silver, Charmy, and the Mobians watching her.

Amy, Sally, and Cosmo ran towards the stoned seat, by the fountain and began to cry, with their own heads on their own arms. Silver, Charmy, and the Mobians felt sad that Amy, Sally, and Cosmo had been abused by their wicked, nasty stepparents and mean, vile stepsisters. On the other hand, Faline and Clarice felt sorry for Amy, Sally, and Cosmo even though they had already left for the ball.
