"How'd it go?" asked Zoe helping Misty put her clothes in their closet.

"It was fine, I guess," said Misty.

"You guess? What happened?" Zoe prodded.

There was a knock at the door. Queenie walked in before either of them could respond.

"How'd it go with Cordelia?" Queenie asked sitting on Zoe's bed.

"I was just asking," said Zoe.

"We just hugged. We didn't get to talk long," said Misty.

" 'Just hugged.' You smelled her hair, didn't you?" asked Zoe.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Misty replied.

"She did!" said Queenie.

"You like her! You want to kiss her! Date her and marry her!" Zoe said in a sing-song voice dragging out every vowel.

"Come on, guys. I think it's sweet, "said Kyle standing in the doorway.

"I never said it wasn't, " said Zoe.

"Jesus Christ, Kyle! How long have you been standing there?" Misty jumped.

"Long enough. I actually came up here to give you a message, " Kyle answered.

"Okay?" Misty said.

"Cordelia wants to have dinner with you in sn hour. She said she has something important to talk to you about, " said Kyle raising his eyebrows at the word 'important'.

"She said that?" Misty asked nervously.

Kyle nodded.

"What should I wear?" Misty asked.

"Nothing but a smile, " Queenie joked.

"You look fine. Relax," said Zoe.

"I need a drink, " said Misty anxiously.

"That, we can help you with. Kyle! Bring us a bottle of whisky and three glasses," said Queenie.

"Just because I'm wearing this tux doesn't mean I'm your slave, " said Kyle.

"Fine, four glasses if you're gonna get all touchy," Queenie retorted.

Kyle laughed and flipped her off before walking off.

Cordelia came up to Zoe and Misty's room wearing a stunning black dress and matching pearls.

"Ready?" Cordelia asked taking Misty's hand.

"Am I underdressed? Maybe I should change, " said Misty.

Cordelia laughed and shook her head.

"Let's go before they give our reservation to someone else, " said Cordelia.

"Where are we going?" Misty hiccuped as they walked down the stairs.

"It's a surprise, " said Cordelia rubbing the back of Misty's hand with her thumb.

"That tickles," Misty giggled almost falling and bringing them both down.

"Are you alright?" asked Cordelia.

"I'm...wonderful!" said Misty louder than intended.

"O...kay," said Cordelia sounding unconvinced.

When they got to the restaurant, it was clear to Misty that she was indeed underdressed. Cordelia had gotten them reservations to a very upscale vegan restaurant.

"Miss-"

"Please, just call me Cordelia."

"Miss...I mean...Corelia...Cordei..."

Misty broke into a fit of laughter.

"Never mind that. What were you going to say?" asked Cordelia suspiciously.

"I can't accept this. It's too nice," said Misty as seriously as she could.

"Nonsense, I want to," said Cordelia.

"Foxx,party of two?" said the hostess.

The women followed a waiter to a table near the kitchen.

"What can I get you lovely ladies to drink?" asked the waiter.

"Would you like some champagne?" Cordelia asked Misty.

"I've never had it,but it sounds like perfection," Misty said giggling again.

"Very good, ma'am, " said the waiter.

He was back very soon pouring champagne into their wine glasses.

"Are you ready to order?" asked the waiter.

"We just got here. What do you think?" Misty asked still giggling.

Cordelia gave Misty a pointed look.

"Take your time, " said the waiter before walking off.

"What is with you?" asked Cordelia.

"What do...you mean?" asked Misty trying to keep her composure.

"You seem like something is bothering you, " said Cordelia.

"I'm great. I mean,I'm good, " said Misty avoiding Delia's chocolate brown eyes and downing her champagne, "Waiter! Can I get some more of this?"

"Are you ready to order now?" asked the waiter refilling Misty's glass.

"I will have the black bean salad, " said Cordelia.

"And for you, miss?"

"The..." Misty hiccuped, "cheese ravioli."

The waiter started to walk away, but Misty pulled his sleeve.

"Can you just leave the bottle?" Misty asked.

The waiter nodded and rushed off.

"You wanted to talk to me about something?" Misty said before chugging her second glass.

"Yes," Cordelia grabbed the bottle before Misty could drink any more, "I was going to ask you something."

"So, shhhhhhoot!" Misty laughed.

"Misty, are you drunk?" Cordelia asked.

"No,not a lot, " said Misty, " It was just a couple drinks to take the...edge off!'

"Oh, God," said Cordelia putting her head in her hands.

"Miss Cordelia, what's wrong?" Misty pouted.

"Something is bothering you. Why won't you tell me?" asked Cordelia.

"It's...not that simple," said Misty.

"Misty, you can tell me anything," said Cordelia raising her head and holding both of Misty's hands.

"I really want to; I do," said Misty.

"Just say it," Cordelia said giving her hands a reassuring squeeze.

Misty started to open her mouth and passed out. Cordelia left some money on the table and took Misty home.
