Furry Guardian Sally Moon

Episode  13:  The Wedding Dress Contest

At Knothole High, Sally and the other female students are attending Home Economics with the teacher, a yellow cat with black hair known as Miss Honey, trying to teach sewing.

"And that's how you measure," Honey said as she looked distracted.  At lunch, Sally and Amy talked about her.

"I wonder what's wrong with Miss Honey," Amy said.

"That is what I like to know.  She looked very distracted today," Sally said.

"She used to be so passionate about sewing.  I wonder what's happened to her," Amy said when Antoine appeared.

"I can answer that, madams," Anotine said, scaring the two.

"Antoine, please, don't scare us like that," Sally said.

"Merci.  I have looked into this and found our this is due to her engagement," Anotine said as he looked at his memo book.

"Engagement," the two girls said in shock.

'Indeed.  She is unmarried, but dreams of marrying her love wearing a wedding dress she made by her own hands," Antoine said.

"So, who's the lucky guy," Sally asked.

"It's a monseur named Mighty.  An armadillo who works security at an office building," Antoine said.

"Wow, Miss Honey is finally getting married," Amy said.  Later, Honey was walking out of a dress shop and was looking at a piece of silk.

"Wow, that looks like some nice silk," Honey said.

"I bet it is," a voice said as Miss St. John came by.  The two chatted while inside a red sports car, Starwing was eavesdropping on the two teachers.  Retreating to his cathedral, he began his new plot.

"The stars see and know all.  Vega, in the Lyra constellation, its tears fill the heavens, floating alone, unable to traverse the galaxy.  By its light, the person who will shine the most and gain the most energy is Honey The Cat.  She is my next victim," Starwing said. Later, Sally was watching a wedding in a community center and was amazed.

"Wow, the bride looks beatiful.  I doubt I will ever get a man, being a tomboysih nerd," Sally said when she saw some men drag a sign.

"What's this," Sally said.

"Oh, this?  There's a contest being held for hand-made wedding dresses.  and the prize is a trip to Emerald Coast?  Looks nice, but why announce it outside the wedding," Sally said as Blaze passed by and saw her.

"Sally seems to be suspicious of that contest.  I better ask around," Blaze said.

Later, Sally and Blaze were at the Acorn residence, where Blaze met Sally's mom, Alicia.  In her room, the two talked.

"So, are you planning to enter the contest, Sal," Blaze asked.

"No.  I think you have to be 18 or older to enter.  Plus, putting the sign in front of another couple's wedding?  It does not add up," Sally said as Alicia came in with two plates with cake.

"So, you two like some cake," Alicia asked.  Later, at a cloth shop, Miss Honey was watching all the girls, even Miss Hershey, fight for silk and one comes to her.  She looks at it at Starwing comes to her.

"That silk is beautiful and flawless.  No wonder these ladies are fighting," Starwing said.

"You think so, mister," Honey asked as she gave him the cloth.

"I bet you you'll make the best wedding dress with this," Starwing said  as he put a Youma inside, then gave it back to Honey.

"Best wishes," he said to Honey as he took his leave, as she was in awe by his words.  The next day, Sally and Blaze met with Luna and Nicole at Blaze's house.

"So, you mention the wedding contest because you think it's fishy," Nicole asked.

"Yes, I did.  I heard on the morning news that a riot broke out in the silk store, and polcie had to come in to contain the chaos," Sally said.  Later, Honey was dancing with her silk as she fainted from the Youma draining her energy.  The next day, the contest was held, as the three heroines looked.

"That's a huge crowd.  I bet everyone is wanting to win," Blaze said.

"Good thing I didn't enter.  I am probably not going to be married in the future," Sally said.

"Don't say such things, Sally.  Besides, I believe this could be suspicious as well.  Sally, use the Disguise Pen to go undercover," Luna said.

"Okay, but I am not doing this as a contestant," Sally said as she got the Disguise Pen out of her vest pocket.

"We understand.  We're doing this because of Furry Guardian reasons," Blaze said.

"Indeed.  I bet no one would suspect you are here to fight evil," Nicole said.

"Okay.  Moon Power, make me a beautiful bride," Sally said as she raised the pen, as her clothes were replaced with a wedding gown as she got in line in the contest as the lights came on.  However, Honey came out in her wedding dress as the crowd was shocked.

"Miss Honey," Sally whispered to herself as she stepped down.

"Hey, no late entries," the emcee said.

"Shut up, you pig," Honey said as he eyes glew, putting the emcee in a trance.

"Listen up, ladies, you will never compete with my beauty.  Everyone will bow to me," Honey said as she put the crowd in a trance.  Sally got shocked and tired when Luna peeked from under her dress.

"Sally, don't look in her eyes," Luna said, waking Sally up as she saw her.

"Hey, how long have you been under there," Sally yelled.

"Not really a good time," Luna said.  Back at the cathedral, Starwing felt Honey's energy.

"Her energy is at it's peak.  Come forth, my monster, Catarachnia," Starwing said as the mark on Honey's dress appeared and spewed a liquid that formed into a cat-like monster who has the thorax of the spider in place of a tail, which had four spider legs attached.

"Miss Honey.  So you're the monster," Sally said as Catarachnia laughed.

"Yeah, and who are you," Catarachnia said when Nicole and Blaze came down.

"A wedding dress is a symbol of every girl's dream," Nicole said.

"And we'll never forgive anyone who defiles that white wedding dress," Blaze said.

"That's right, and you will pay for what you did to Miss Honey," Sally said as she and her allies transformed.

"In the name of the moon, we'll punish you," the three said posing.

"We'll see about that, you brats," Catarachia said as she charged, firing a web from her mouth that captures Sally Moon.  Nicole Mercury and Blaze Mars look to see their leader being reeled in.

"When you're body's all lifeless, I will make a beatiful burial outfit out of it," Catarachnia said as Sally Moon struggled.

"Bubble Spray," Nicole Mercury yelled as she fired her attack, fogging the area.

"Fire Soul," Blaze Mars said as she launched her attack, burning the web and freeing Sally Moon.

"Are you alright," Nicole Mercury said as Sally Moon nodded.

"Good.  Now finish it," Blaze Mars said.

"Right," Sally Moon said as she saw Catarachnia charge at the three.  She removed her tiara and used it as an attack as it went through the webbing the youma fired from her mouth and hit her, reducing her to moondust.  Some time later, the three were at Honey and Mighty's wedding as they saw the two get into the limo.

"At least this has a happy ending," Sally said.

"And I bet you learned from Honey.  Even a tomboyish nerd has a chance at being married," Luna said.

"Yeah, you're right, Luna," Sally said, as she imagined herself marrying Tuxedo Mask Fox.
