"Prom Pom Pom" Ninja High School Prom Formula#2 (May 1991) with credits to Ben Dunn (script) Ben Dunn (art), Robert DeJesus (inks), Joe Allen (colors), Clem Robbins (letters) and Chris Ulm (editor)
It's prom time!
Ichi, Jeremy, and Asrial go to the prom, but as they dance and socialize, Leena quietly slips in and spikes the punch. Most of the teens drink it, turning them into infants or younger! With the casts now half-size, Leena easily picks up Jeremy and takes him back to her spaceship.
As the kids panic, Professor Steamhead arrives! He's nonplussed, taking some of the punch with him to develop a cure. He can't do it there though, no, he has to use his spaceship...which he apparently borrowed from Captain Harlock.
On Leena's ship, however, she's cured Jeremy and makes it clear they're getting hitched. She explains why she hates Asrial and for all this, Jeremy pities her.
When his friends arrive (and blow up her defenses), Leena throws in the towel. Before she flees, she slips something to Jeremy with instructions to give it to Asrial. As reunions are made, Jeremy does as bade and Asrial is speechless. It's the locket she gave to Leena when they were kids.
All told rather sweet. Leena gets some rather decent character development and even while comedy is the focus we get to see just how damaging holding onto old hate can be.
