. . . and it feels amazing! But what will everyone say? Devin hides the skirt under a disguise to finally enjoy the party and dance the night away. But all this dancing makes Devin VERYhot! So, he takes off his disguise and reveals the skirt. 

All eyes are on him –but in steps Nanabapa. He takes Devin’s hand, twirls him round in his beautiful skirt . . . and the party continues in full swing!
