Nine Ladies Dancing (On the Edge of Sanity)

On the ninth day of Christmas, the Ministry hosted a charity dance-off—what could go wrong? Everything, apparently. Delayna Steele thought she'd survived every small-town disaster—until she's drafted to choreograph the Ministry's "Nine Ladies Charity Ball." Her task: wrangle nine competitive dancers, please a twitchy government rep, and deliver a viral miracle on a zero-dollar budget… all while dodging sponsor demands, hidden sabotage, and a goose in a tutu with more authority than the mayor. Enter Jonetta Fern, rookie sponsor rep, peddling Eggnog Prime (the Ministry's "official" holiday drink, suspiciously yellow and wildly unpredictable). His marching orders: maximize holiday cheer, go viral, and keep the event sponsor-friendly—even as side effects and sabotage spiral out of control. As rivalries boil over, feathers fly, and the Eggnog Prime fountain explodes on live TV, Delayna and Jonetta are forced to abandon the script, own the mess, and improvise their way to a miracle. With the Ministry's audit geese circling, the only thing harder than surviving the dance-off is admitting they'd do it all again—if it means not missing their shot at something real. This Christmas, there's only one rule: last couple standing wins. Bonus points if you survive the audit and get the goose's approval. Expect sabotage, slapstick, viral chaos, and a love story that finally lands the perfect waltz—right after the last chair breaks.
