The final line of Rachel's song hung in the air:

Who do you think you are?

Sue's eyes glowed with a mad fire as she answered, “I'm your worst nightmare, little girl.”

The Enchantress waved her wand, and vines sprung up out of the ground.  They grew rapidly, twining around the marble pillars that supported the domed ceiling of the palace, and then reaching out between the columns until they joined together to create living walls of foliage.  Soon, large purple buds began to appear all along the vines.

Sue gave a maniacal chuckle as she gazed around at her handiwork.  “In just a moment, those flowers will open.  And when they do, they'll spill their pollen into the air.  And do you know what will happen next?”

“Those of us with seasonal allergies will start to sneeze?” Zach asked.

“No, you fool!  Or, maybe you will, but that doesn't matter.  The pollen of those flowers contains a powerful aphrodisiac.  Anyone who breathes it in will be powerless to resist.  Soon, you'll all be kissing.  And then you'll sleep forever, your bodies empty shells and your hearts still beating futilely inside my jar.  And I will rule the world!!!” 

Sue's cackle was still ringing through the palace as the blossoms began to burst open, filling the air with an intoxicating fragrance and a heady cloud of pollen.

Mother Goose took a single breath before lunging across the room, grabbing Zach, and kissing him senseless.  Literally.  The two fell unconscious to the floor, and their hearts magically appeared inside Sue's jar.  The Enchantress let out a roar of triumph.

The shocked gasps from around the room only caused the others to breathe in more of the lust-inducing pollen.  

“We have to control ourselves,” Chris urged.  “I know it's hard, but we can't let her win.”

“You think this is hard?” the Enchantress sneered.  “Try turning yourself into evil sextuplets.  Now that's hard.”

“Everyone stop saying hard,” Darren moaned.

“Oh, it's only going to get harder,” the Enchantress taunted.  “Now those two” (she gestured dismissively toward the bodies of Zach and Mother Goose) “don't really count.  I wanna see the rulers of some of your pathetic kingdoms kissing next.  Who's it gonna be?”

Stoner Brett — pupils even more dilated than usual — grabbed Queen Trollbecky's hands and began to sing to her:

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

When you take me by the hand

Tell me Im your lovin man

When you give me all your love

And do it babe the very best you can

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

When I get to be in your arms

When were all, all alone

When you whisper sweet in my ear

When you turn, turn me on

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

Thats the way, aha, aha

I like it, aha, aha

He was way off key, and his voice was raspy from years of smoke inhalation, but apparently Stoner Brett's song did something for Trollbecky.  She fell into his arms and gave him a big, sloppy kiss.

“Yes!” Sue crowed, as two more hearts appeared in her jar.

An odd expression came over Emmapunzel's face.  “Oooh…  There's something in the air…  It's making me feel quite funny…”

Gazing into Will's eyes, she began to sing:

I made it through the wilderness

Somehow I made it through

Didnt know how lost I was

Until I found you

I was beat, incomplete

Id been had, I was sad and blue

But you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel, shiny and new

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

When your heart beats

Next to mine

Gonna give you all my love, boy

My fear is fading fast

Been saving it all for you

Cause only love can last

Youre so fine and youre mine

Make me strong, yeah, you make me bold

Oh, your love thawed out

Yeah, your love thawed out

What was getting cold

Like a virgin, hey

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

With your heartbeat

Next to mine

Youre so fine and youre mine

Ill be yours til the end of time

Cause you made me feel

Yeah, you made me feel

Ive nothing to hide

Like a virgin

Touched for the very first time

Like a virgin

With your heartbeat

Next to mine

Like a virgin, like a virgin

Feels so good inside

When you hug me

And your heart beats

And you love me

“I know it's highly unsanitary,” Emmapunzel admitted, “but I just can't resist.”

And with that, she kissed Will full on the lips.

“Stop!  Stop!” Chris cried, wild-eyed with desire, but still determined to be the voice of reason.  “We have to hold out!  We can't let the Enchantress take any more of our hearts!”

“He's right,” Queen Snow White (also known as Mercedes) said.  “We have to protect our hearts — and our kingdoms.”

She turned to King Sam and began to sing:

Dont go breaking my heart

Sam immediately joined in to make it a duet:

     I couldnt if I tried

Oh, Honey if I get restless

     Baby youre not that kind

Dont go breaking my heart

     You take the weight off of me

Oh, Honey when you knock on my door

     Ooh I gave you my key

Ooh Ooh

Nobody knows it

When I was down

I was your clown

Ooh ooh 

Nobody knows it

Right from the start

I gave you my heart

Ohhhhhhh Ho

I gave you my heart

So dont go breaking my heart

     I wont go breaking your heart

Dont go breaking my heart

And nobody told us

     Cause nobody showed us

And now its up to us babe

     Ooh, I think we can make it

So dont misunderstand me

     You put the light in my life

You put the sparks to the flame

     Ive got your heart in my sights

Ohh Ohh

Nobody knows it

But when I was down

Ooh Ohh

I was your clown

Nobody knows it

Right from the start

I gave you my heart

Ohhhhh Ho

I gave you my heart

Dont go breaking my heart

     I won't go breaking your heart 

Dont go breaking my heart 

     I wont go breaking your heart 

Dont go breaking my heart

     Dont go breaking my, don't go breaking my..

As though magnetically drawn together, their lips finally touched.  Despite the words of their song, Queen Snow White and King Sam had become the next victims of the Enchantress's curse.  Their hearts joined the others in her jar.

“This is turning into a little too much of a het-fest for me,” Santana announced.  “What do you say we show these losers some lady loving?”

Brittany smiled beatifically at her as she began to sing:

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy sets you free

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms, yeah, c'mon

I wanna thank you for givin me time to breathe

Like a rock, you waited so patiently

While I got it together, while I figured it out

I only looked, but I never touched

Cause in my heart was a picture of us

Holdin hands, makin plans

And its lucky for me you understand

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy sets you free

And Im thankin you for knowin exactly

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And Im thankin you for bein there for me

A weaker woman might have walked away

But you had faith strong enough

To move over and give me space

While I got it together, yeah, while I figured it out

They say, if you love somethin, let it go

If it comes back, its yours and thats how you know

Its for keeps, yeah, its for sure

And youre ready and willin to give me more than

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy sets you free

And Im thankin you for givin it to me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And Im thankin you for bein there for me

Oh baby, oh darlin, I thank you, thank you, oh yeah

I found me somebody sensitive and tough

Somebody down when the goin gets rough

Every night you'll be givin your love

To just warm down, warm down, warm

Somebody cool, somebody tender too

Somebody, baby, just like you

Can keep me hangin around

With the one who always knew

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy sets you free

Ooh, Im thankin you for bein there for me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

Whatever keeps me in your arms

Is what I need

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever makes me happy sets you free

And Im thankin you for givin it to me

What a girl wants, what a girl needs

Whatever keeps me in your arms

And Im thankin you for bein there

What you got is what I need

All that you want

What I want, oh yeah

Oh baby, oh darlin, I thank you

Thank you for givin me what I need

And for what I want, oh yeah

“Who cares if kissing makes us fall asleep forever?” Brittany asked.  “I love sleeping with you.”

“Me too, Brit-Brit,” Santana said, and gave her a toe-curling kiss.

The Enchantress watched gleefully as two more hearts appeared in her jar.  Then she held it aloft and turned her attention on Queen Quinderella.  “You know, your little girl must miss you.  Why don't you come and keep her company in here?”

Quinderella's eyes filled with tears as she gazed at the jar.  King Puck tried to pull her away, but her eyes were riveted on the sight of Princess Beth's tiny heart.

“We have to stay strong, for her sake,” King Puck told his wife.  “If we can defeat the Enchantress, we can bring our daughter back to us.”  He turned resolutely away from the terrible sight.

Quinderella fell to her knees, clutching at her husband's retreating form.  She began to sing in a broken voice:

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely 

And youre never coming round

Turn around 

Every now and then I get a little bit tired 

Of listening to the sound of my tears

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous 

That the best of all the years have gone by

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

And then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around, bright eyes 

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit restless 

And I dream of something wild

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit helpless 

And Im lying like a child in your arms

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit angry 

And I know Ive got to get out and cry

Turn around

Every now and then I get a little bit terrified

But then I see the look in your eyes

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

Turn around, bright eyes

Every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight

And I need you more than ever

And if you only hold me tight

Well be holding on forever

And well only be making it right

Cause well never be wrong, together

We can take it to the end of the line

Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time

I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark

Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks

I really need you tonight

Forevers gonna start tonight

Forevers gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love

But now Im only falling apart

Theres nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart

Once upon a time there was light in my life

But now theres only love in the dark

Nothing I can say

A total eclipse of the heart

Turning around to see his wife's beseeching face, King Puck fell to his knees beside her and drew her in for a kiss.  Their unconscious bodies fell to the floor as their hearts were reunited with their daughter.

Froggy let out a strangled croak.  “All three of my brothers have fallen victim to the curse.  I can't hold out any longer.”  He turned to Queen Red.  “Are we in this together?”

Rachel took his frog-hands in hers and began to sing:

Share my life, take me for what I am

Cause Ill never change all my colors for you

Take my love, Ill never ask for too much

Just all that you are and everything that you do.

I dont really need to look very much further

I dont want to have to go where you dont follow

I wont hold it back again, this passion inside

I cant run from myself, theres nowhere to hide

Dont make me close one more door

I dont wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Dont walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I dont have you, you, you, you, you

You see through, right to the heart of me

You break down my walls with the strength of your love

I never knew love like Ive known it with you

Will a memory survive, one I can hold on to

I dont really need to look very much further

I dont want to have to go where you dont follow

I wont hold it back again, this passion inside

I cant run from myself, theres nowhere to hide

Your love Ill remember forever

Oh, dont make me close one more door

I dont wanna hurt anymore

Stay in my arms if you dare

Or must I imagine you there

Dont walk away from me

I have nothing, nothing, nothing

If I dont have you, you

If I dont have you, oh

Froggy and Rachel shared a somewhat slimy kiss, and then joined the growing pile of pile of bodies on the floor and the growing cluster of hearts in the jar.

“Almost there,” the Enchantress gloated.  “I've taken care of the Sleeping Kingdom, the Elf Empire, the Northern Kingdom, the Troll and Goblin Territory, the Corner Kingdom, Cheermaid Bay, the Charming Kingdom, and the Red Riding Hood Kingdom.  Now, what about the rest of those Warbler boys?  Are things getting a little too hot for them in their stuffy blazers?”  

Chris looked over at the remaining members of the Warbler Council.  Nick and Jeff did, indeed, look quite flushed, while Wes and David were visibly trembling as they tried to maintain control.

“Come on, boys,” Sue coaxed.  “You know that you want it…”

Nick was the first to snap.  He grabbed Jeff's hands and began to sing:

I got chills, theyre multiplying

And Im losing control

Cause the power, youre supplying

Its electrifying!

Jeff joined in with matching intensity:

You better shape up, cause I need a man

And my heart is set on you

You better shape up, you better understand

To my heart I must be true

Nothing left, nothing left for me to do

The two Warblers continued their duet:

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, the one that I need

     Oh yes indeed

Wes was the next to cave, gripping David's shoulders as he sang:

If youre filled with affection

Youre too shy to convey

Meditate my direction

Feel your way

David was clearly not too shy to convey his affection.  He joined in fervidly:

I better shape up, cause you need a man

     I need a man who can keep me satisfied

I better shape up, if Im gonna prove

     You better prove that my faith is justified

Are you sure? 

     Yes Im sure down deep inside

The four Warblers continued in harmony:

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, the one that I need

     Oh yes indeed

Youre the one that I want

     You are the one I want

Ooh, ooh, ooh, honey

    You're the one that I want

As the song ended, the two couples kissed passionately, then crumpled to the floor.

“Twenty-two down, four to go,” the Enchantress cackled.  “I'll get you, my pretties — and your little wolf, too!”
