Despite the indignity, Charlie Brown remains faithful to his duty and escorts Queen Heather to the middle of the dance floor, and then summons the courage to kiss her on the cheek. The team loses by one point, and Charlie Brown is wrongfully blamed by team captain Peppermint Patty joined by Lucy and Frieda at the ballroom that evening. But even in a real football game, Lucy still humiliates Charlie Brown, pulling the ball away four times during the game as he tries to kick it, including a crucial field goal attempt in the last thirty seconds. The game begins with Charlie Brown as kicker and Lucy as his placekick setter. But when Linus adds the Homecoming tradition of giving the queen a kiss in front of everyone before the first dance, Charlie Brown hyperventilates and falls off the float. During the parade, Linus mentions that Charlie Brown himself will be escorting the Queen who, to Charlie Brown's shock, is the Little Red-Haired Girl herself (whose name in the special is Heather). He and Linus are on the team, who are the escorts for the Queen and her court.
