Plot
Edit
Winter has come to Sherman, Illinois. Ilana, as she gazes out across the snow scape, watching children and families happily playing, is reminded of Galaluna's Harvest Festival, until Lance interrupts her daydreaming.
Meanwhile, on Galaluna, General Modula muses about what he can do to crush the spirit of the people, as music and laughter drift across the planet. An Alien Mobster approaches him, offering on his own life the beast he has that will crush the princess, as rumors of Modula's continued failure has been spreading.
At school, Ilana, feeling homesick, notices a poster for the Homecoming dance, and she is delighted. quickly discovering the meeting room, she lays her idea in beautiful detail of a Harvest Festival theme upon the other two members of the planning staff, Todd and Merideth. Having no idea of their own for the dance, and moved by her beautiful discription, they accept her idea almost immediately.
Outside, Newton and Kimmy are talking about the dance, when Brandon and his friends attack them with snowballs. Newton quickly drives them off. Kimmy asks him to take her to the dance, which he agrees to do, but only if Lance and Ilana come. Kimmy grudgingly agrees, but only if they have dates.
Modula tests the beast in "the Pit" where it wipes out it's opponents with it's incredible speed. impressed, he orders it sent to Earth.
Lance goes looking for Ilana, and finds out from her and Newton that he's been shanghaied into going to the dance. Lance warns Ilana not to get too excited, as she'll just be disappointed in the end. Ilana defensively denies that she is too excited.
The three, along with Kimmy, go shopping for outfits. Lance uncomfortably gets fitted for a Tux, as Newton squeezes into his, before finally resorting to altering his form to be much slimmer and more attractive, much to Kimmy's delight. As Kimmy drags Ilana off to get a dress, Lance sends a glance to Kristen, as he contemplates his Date scenario.
Later, at school, Lance notices Kristen practicing martial arts in the gym. impressed, he goes over to her, and the two engage in a quick duel, which Lance soundly wins with his military training. He asks her to the dance, but she declines, saying it's not really her thing.
The night finally arrives, and Lance, finally resigning to the tux, Ilana, who feels uncomfortable in the skimpy dresses Kimmy provided, and Newton, who is practicing "smooth" poses, get together with their dates: Jason, who is taking Ilana, Kimmy, and Merideth, one of the Homecoming planners, a short pudgy girl, who lance asked to get Ilana off his back.
after Photos and the arrival of a limo, everything seems ot be going well....and then Newton tenses, to Kimmy's dismay ,as she knows at least some of what this means: the rift gate has opened, AKA Newton has to "use the bathroom"
Kimmy is heartbroken as Newton sadly leaves, promising to come back, and calls her friends to tearfully tell them what happened. Jason and Merideth awkwardly ride with her to the school.
As the Titan flies toward the landing site of the creature, Octus and Ilana reflect on their lost evening, while Lance, who never wanted to go anyway, is focused on the mission.
Kimmy arrives at the dance, and runs to her friends, sobbing. Jason and Merideth sit alone at a table, waiting for thier "dates"
Octus regrets that he made Kimmy cry, while Ilana is disappointed that she won't get her Harvest festival. Lance, meanwhile shouts at them to focus, as they engage the monster, who's superior speed is knocking them left and right.
at the dance, Kimmy and Brandon are made Homecoming king and queen, and are crowned as Kimmy looks forlornly at the door, waiting for Newton. As she dances with Brandon, who says he's never treat her like Newton apparently is, Jason and Merideth decide to dance with each other.
Finally, As Lance shouts that the three are going to die because Octus and Ilana are too worried about a "stupid Dance" Ilana finally snaps, thrashing the beast as she shouts that it's more than a dance, it's home. they quickly dispatch the creature. as they revert to human, Newton gazes off, saying that he has to go.
at Kimmy's house, newton throws pebbles at her bedroom window to get her attention, and she finally answers after he breaks it. After an awkward stereo "music" attempt by Newton, Kimmy calmly tells Newton that she's breaking up with him: she feels that he's keeping a secret from her. Newton seems about to tell her what he is, but she just tells him to go away.
at the dance, Ilana wanders in as the Janitors clean up. Lance follows her, surprised: he didn't even know what the theme was. as Ilana stands forlorn in the middle of the room, lance turns the music on, and puts on a hat similar to the one the King wore at the festival. the two dance around, laughing. On Galaluna, Modula, after killing the mobster, ponders what he will do next...
