"Saturday Homecoming Fever" is the first segment of the sixth episode of the Disney Channel animated series Hamster & Gretel.
Synopsis[]
Hamster and Gretel must save the homecoming dance at the high school.
Plot[]
At school, Kevin talks to Fred about refranchising due to his reputation as "minivan kid," while Fred has been receiving unwanted attention and popularity after going undercover as a cheerleader.
Hunter Campell and Fred abstain their nominations as homecoming king and queen respectively. Hunter professes his love for Pamela Brien, a commoner. Kevin sees this as a chance to improve his reputation and begins to study the disco dance moves of Darren Dark.
On the night of the homecoming dance, however, FistPuncher and The Destructress break out of prison and decide to go to the dance to wreak havoc. Upon learning about this, Fred, Hamster, and Gretel orchestrate a plan to go undercover and stop the villains.
In the midst of the attack on the homecoming dance, Kevin confronts the villains and, alongside Hiromi, challenges them to a dance battle. After emerging victorious, Kevin has Fred evacuate the dance floor while Hamster and Gretel―the latter of whom is disguised as a disco ball―battle FistPuncher and The Destructress; they soon defeat the villains and plot to return them to jail. Meanwhile, the dance is forced to end early due to the DJ table being destroyed, but Kevin arrives in the minivan and provides music for the dance goers, much to their delight.
